Hi:
> How can there be two raptures ?
Scripture teaches it. We have to let it say what it says. The saints are caught up at two different times, around Mid-Trib and before God's Wrath hits Earth at the end of the Great Tribulation.
THE WISE VIRGINS ARE CAUGHT UP FIRST
AT THE FIRST TRUMP RAPTURE, NO ONE IS MADE IMMORTAL
1Th 4:13-18 says, "But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15 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 (phthano 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."
REV 4:1 IS THE FIRST RAPTURE; THESE ALL SING THE NEW SONG AND DO NOT HAVE TO WASH THEIR ROBES
Rev 4:1 says, "After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, COME UP HITHER, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter."
Of the first Rapture, Rev 5:8-10 says, "... saints. 9 And they sung a NEW SONG, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth."
AT THE LAST TRUMP RAPTURE, ALL ARE MADE IMMORTAL IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE
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."
REV 7:14 IS THE LAST RAPTURE, WHEN THE FOOLISH VIRGINS ARE CAUGHT UP; THESE "HAVE WASHED THEIR ROBES"
Rev 7:14 says, "These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb."
Rev 7:14 is "hereafter" the first Rapture. These are the 144,000 Israelites. Along with them is a great multitude that do have to wash their robes in the blood of Christ to make them white.
AT THE LAST RAPTURE, ONLY THE 144,000 ISRAELITES CAN SING THE NEW SONG
Rev 14:1-5 says, "And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. 2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: 3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. 4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. 5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God."
> The Rapture is going to be instantaneous and no one is going to be left > behind. Folks are going UP or DOWN. We have to choose NOW.
The foolish virgins are going to be left behind.
Mat 25:5-10 says, "While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. 7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out (lit., going out, i.e., sputtering). 9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut."
How are the foolish virgins going to get to Heaven?

"To Whom it May Concern"
6-8-2013
How can there be two raptures ?
Rev. 1:7 "Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindred's of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen."
1 Cor. 15:52 "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 [everyone] shall be changed."
Once Jesus arrives there will be no more need for FAITH. Read the faith chapter; Hebrews 11. It was only by FAITH in God's word.
John 10:9 Jesus said: "I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture."
Romans 10:13 "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord [Jesus] shall be saved.
Mark 16:16 "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned."
Titus 2:13 "Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;"
Speaking of Jesus [Immanuel=God with us]
John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." I do believe "they" call that the Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
John 1:2-5 "The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not."
John 1:6 "There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not."
Malachi 3:1-3 "Behold, I will send my messenger [John the Baptist], and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord [Jesus], whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the [Jesus is the] messenger of the [new] covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.
But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' sope [liquid to dip into]: And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness." And He did.
The Rapture is going to be instantaneous and no one is going to be left behind. Folks are going UP or DOWN. We have to choose NOW.
2 Cor. 6:2 "(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)"
NOT TOMORROW BUT NOW !!! Don't wait to see what's going to happen. You've been warned for almost 2,000 years. Be wise. Get educated. The ignorant will fall into the abyss. There is no excuse.
May God bless the reading of His [kjv] Word. jfh
Writ cuz I luv y'all ;o) It could be just 4 months down the road of this life. I'm watching and calculating also. God's Book is an outline of 6,000 years of Time with many timelines. He is called "Palmoni" the great numberer. I'm expecting to see all you 'saved' folks on the "flip flop".
May the Lord bless you, keep his face upon you, and give you peace. Amen
