Dear brethren of Five Doves
 
In addition to the discussion with brother Gerry and his doctrine that
there is no immediate rapture but it has to be waited first for the
start of the Gog and Magog war, the Holy Spirit led me to the two
following passages in the Holy Bible and which took my interest and
my question about the moment immediately before the rapture:
 
The mentioned verses Matthew 25,6 + 1. Thess. 4,16 are indeed
very interesting because of this:
 
The ten virgins all started to fall asleep. Later in Verse 7 all of them
(included the foolish virgins) realized that the bridegroom arrived
and there was happening something very powerful that all the
ten virgins including the foolish ones immediately woke up. 
 
But only one half of them (the wise virgins) made it to be with the
bridegroom.
 
So what did happen here that first a) all ten virgins woke up and
realized that it was the Lord waking them up but b) afterwards
only the five wise virgins made it to be with the bridegroom and
then the bridegroom and the five virgins disappeared immediately ?
 
And 1. Thess. 4,16 says that the dead in Christ rise first and
then the ones which are alive 1. Thess. 4,17 and those two 
(= the dead in Christ and the ones alive) will meet immediately
and be caught up together in the clouds/1. Thess. 4,17 and
to be together with the Lord forever. 
 
So what is this that the dead in Christ rise first and afterwards
the alive ones but shortly after be caught up together = this 
seems to be a very short period of time between a) the dead in
Christ resurrect first and then b) after the alive ones ?
 
Could it eventually be that there is a worldwide earthquake and 
open graves at the graveyards everywhere and just a very short
moment later the rapture of the alive ones = the wise virgins.
They are the ones which are in constant deep fellowship with the
Lord and therefore quickly awake and ready to go with the Lord.
But the foolish ones also realize the event (worldwide earthquake
and opened graves ?) and that it was the Lord's hand and they
try somehow to come into fellowship and pray to the Lord but
they are too slowly in their lukewarm spirit and therefore are
left behind. 
 
This is just speculation but it would be very interesting to hear
from You dear brethren if the Lord has spoken to You about the
two verses in Matthew 25,6 + 1. Thess. 4,16 and if there is 
something bigger (opened graves and earthquakes ?)
happening immediately   B E F O R E   the rapture ?
 
I want to put this question into open discussion to all the brethren
of Five Doves and if the Lord has also spoken to You about a
possible powerful event immediately B E F O R E  the rapture
and therefore all virgins (including the foolish ones) waking up
immediately + the dead in Christ to be resurrected first and then
the alives one immediately after (immediately = because both
groups are reunited visibly in the skies and then immediately go
up with the Lord in the rapture) and I am very interested in
all of Your answers.
