what-so-ever with the trumps but with verse
55. If Death no longer has a sting nor Hades
has a victory, then how can this be a Rapture
scripture since we are taught there are people
who will be left during the Great Tribulation,
who will die in Christ. According to this
scripture there is no more death with it's
sting. Do you see what I am saying? This seems
to be speaking of the Final Resurrection.
I can give you a simple answer. There
are two Raptures. The second one is the final
one. At that time, all believers will become
immortal.
THE PROOF
Num 10:1-4 says, "And the LORD
spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Make thee TWO
TRUMPETS of silver; of a whole piece shalt
thou make them: that thou mayest use them (i.e., both)
for the calling of the assembly, and for the
journeying of the camps. 3 And when they shall blow
with them (i.e., both), all the assembly shall
assemble themselves to thee at the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation. 4 And if they blow but
with one trumpet, then the princes (i.e., the
24 elders, the 12 patriarchs and the 12 apostles of
Israel), which are heads of the thousands of Israel,
shall gather themselves unto thee."
I Thess 4:13-18 is the First-Trump
Rapture. I Cor 15:51-54 is the Last-Trump
Rapture. You can't have a last without a
first.
THERE ARE RANKS IN THE FIRST
RESURRECTION; IT IS FOR THE FIRSTFRUITS
1Co_15:20-23 says, "But now is
Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits
of them that slept. 21 For since by man came
death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all
be made alive. 23 But every man in his own order
(tagmati, rank, a series or succession, from tasso, to
arrange in an orderly manner): Christ the firstfruits;
afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
Jas_1:18 Of his own will begat he us with the
word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits
of his creatures.
FIRST-TRUMP RAPTURE ON THE DAY OF
CHRIST IS FOR THE WISE VIRGINS
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.
14 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
(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."
Rev 5:8-10 says, "...saints. 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."
LAST-TRUMP RAPTURE ON THE DAY OF THE LORD IS FOR
THE FOOLISH VIRGINS, 144,000 ISRAELITES AND OTHER
TRIBULATION SAINTS
1Co 15:51-54 says, "Behold, I shew you a mystery;
We shall not all sleep, but we (including Paul) 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 (i.e., at either Rapture),
and this mortal must put on immortality (only happens
at the Last-Trump Rapture). 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 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."
Joe 2:1,2 says, "Blow ye the trumpet in Zion,
and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the
inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the
LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand; 2 A day of
darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of
thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the
mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not
been ever the like, neither shall be any more after
it, even to the years of many generations."
Joel 2:30-32 says, "And I will shew wonders in the
heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars
of smoke. 31 The sun shall be turned into
darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great
and the terrible day of the LORD come. 32 And it
shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the
name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion
and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD
hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall
call."
Look at Joel 2:31 again. It says, "The sun shall be
turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, BEFORE the great and the
terrible day of the LORD come."
That is a Solar Eclipse. I think the date will be
Sept 13, 2015.
The next day, Tishri 1, 5776, the Feast of
Trumpets, will be the great and terrible Day of the
Lord.

John &
Doves
Please
read the following scripture; I have a question in
regards to this.
1
Corinthians 15:50-55 (NKJV)
50Now
this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood
cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor
does corruption inherit incorruption. 51Behold,
I tell you a mystery: We shall not all
sleep, but we shall all be changed - 52in
a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at
the last trumpet. For the trumpet will
sound, and the dead will be raised
incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53For
this corruptible must put on incorruption,
and this mortal must put on immortality. 54So
when this corruptible has put on
incorruption, and this mortal has put on
immortality, then shall be brought to pass
the saying that is written: “Death is
swallowed up in victory.”
55“O
Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where
is your victory?”
My question does not deal, what-so-ever
with the trumps but with verse 55. If Death no
longer has a sting nor Hades has a victory,
then how can this be a Rapture scripture since
we are taught there are people who will be
left during the Great Tribulation, who will
die in Christ. According to this scripture
there is no more death with it's sting. Do you
see what I am saying? This seems to be
speaking of the Final Resurrection.
