"RE - THE DEAD IN CHRIST SHALL RISE FIRST"


 
Dear brother Jason C.

I am from Brazil and my english is very limited, sorry. But I have this for you.


And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a great voice, If any man worshippeth the beast and his image, and receiveth a mark on his forehead, or upon his hand,

he also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is prepared unmixed in the cup of his anger; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

and the smoke of their torment goeth up for ever and ever; and they have no rest day and night, they that worship the beast and his image, and whoso receiveth the mark of his name.

Here is the patience of the saints, they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

And I heard the voice from heaven saying, Write, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth: yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; for their works follow with them.
Revelation 14:9-13


Now see this:

And except those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved [in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed] but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. [Do you understand the point? There should be alive believers in the Lord Jesus Christ to be changed at his coming]
Mathew 24:22

But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

and then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

And he shall send forth his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Mathew 24:29-31



God bless you dear brother and all doves too.
