Re: Two Raptures

Hi:

> > What you wrote sounds very interesting.I am not against it.I have a question or a coulpe thow.Are you saying that all the dead in Christ and the repented lukeworm christians that are left behind will go in the second rapture? When the first rapture takes place nobody is resurected? If that's the case then when is the Wedding of the Lamb going to take place? If it happeneds later then the raptured christians are going to hang around for a while for the other ones to be ressurected?
Too many question,i know.I'm not saying no to all this;just having questions that popped up.
God bless, MARI

I too believe that there are two Raptures. I Thess 4:13-18 is about the First-Trump Rapture. I Cor 15:51-54 is about the Last-Trump Rapture.

 

FIRST-TRUMP RAPTURE OF WISE VIRGINS: THE DEAD IN CHRIST SHALL BE RAISED INCORRUPTIBLE FIRST, THEN THE LIVING

 

1Th 4:15-18 says, “For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent (Old English for precede) them which are asleep. 16  For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17  Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18  Wherefore comfort one another with these words.”

 

According to Rabbi Kaduri, this Rapture will take place in Av, 5772. My guess would be Av 9/10 (July 28/29), when the Temple went up in smoke twice. We are the Temple of the Holy Spirit, and 29 means DEPARTURE.

 

LAST-TRUMP RAPTURE OF FOOLISH VIRGINS, THE 144,000 ISRAELITES, AND EVERYONE THAT CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD: THE DEAD SHALL BE RAISED INCORRUPTIBLE AND THEN ALL SAINTS WILL BECOME IMMORTAL

 

1Co 15:51-54 says, “Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52  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. 53  For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54  So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.”
