1 Thess 4:13-18 - The Resurrected and the Raptured are One Group = they are not separate except for the Resurrection being FIRSTI believe the catching UP to the Clouds…
Applies to those IN Christ , ie. His Church)…While The Lord Descends from Heaven to the Clouds…
Certainly that IS….the Raptured’s Last Day on This Earth As It is….
Mortals are still on Earth…
He likened as the Son of Man is who came and Shall Return on a white cloud…To be Seen by All…His saints With Him, unseen to mortals
Yet still He is, NOT On Earth.
He separates those mortals on Earth…who have become believers during the Trib…their bodies martyred …dead…their saved souls gathered together by His Angels and Sent to Heaven.
I think we are not in the same sequence of events.
In brief…
There is a multitude of events occurring in the Last days….Preparation Gathering, and Tribulations, Wrath of the Lamb, the wrath of the Devil, Gathering, The wrath of God and the Remnant, the 1.000 years reign, the Raptured shall forever be with the Lord and the First Resurrected shall be Priests of Christ during the 1,000 yr reign. Another War…final elimination of all mortals and fallen angels spirits forever in the pits of hell….a new city. Earth and heaven one.
Every holy Angel, every fallen angel, every believer, every converted saved and quickened believer, every man who last minute becomes a believer, every non/believer, every non-believer who persecuted believers For their belief, believers not martyred, remaining mortal…
All have to be accounted, judged, sentenced….
Glory to God,
Taken
The Resurrection and Rapture occur at the same time = at His Coming
Brother, read the Genesis account of Noah and the flood BUT make sure you start with Enoch and then pay carefull attention to
when Noah is told to leave the Ark.
Keeping in mind what Jesus said of His Return being as in the days of Noah
