Hal Lindsay And Time LaHaye Were Deceived

Open your eyes!! We are living in the last days just before we will hear Jesus call "come up here"=The rapture!!!

That rapture idea is not Biblically correct.

Per Zechariah 14, on the day of Jesus' future coming, He brings ALL His faithful saints with Him to the Mount of Olives east of Jerusalem. THAT... is where those of His still alive will be raptured to, NOT UP IN HEAVEN WHERE THE FATHER IS.

 

[Davy]

Matthew 24:31 will be the fulfillment of Deuteronomy 30:1-6. "from one end of the heavens to the other" is a figure of speech meaning from the most distant lands. The term is also in verse 4 below.

Deuteronomy 30:
1 And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee,

2 And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul;

3 That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee.

4 If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee:

5 And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.

6 And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.

Wrong interpretation above. That Deut.30:4 verse is an 'expression', while the 1 Thessalonians 4:17 verse is LITERAL.

1 Thess 4:16-17
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.
KJV

And where... did Apostle Paul get the above gathering idea from? From Lord Jesus...

Mark 13:24-27
24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.
26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
27 And then shall He send His angels, and shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
KJV

That above underlined part is what Apostle Paul taught in 1 Thessalonians 4:17, what some call the 'rapture of the Church' from the earth.

In the Matthew 24:29-31 version of the above, Jesus showed the gathering of the 'asleep' saints that He brings with Him according to Apostle Paul in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-16. In that version Jesus shows those asleep saints are gathered from one end of heaven to the other, meaning being gathered to Jesus on His descent to earth.

 

[Davy]

No, you know I did not say that. The Ezekiel 37 valley of the dry bones coming back to life is symbolic of the nation of Israel becoming a nation again in the land of Israel.

The Ezekiel 37 prophecy is further explained by the joining of the two sticks into one again. One of the two sticks represents the northern kingdom and the other stick the southern kingdom. The prophesy is about Israel no longer divided, but one nation again.

20 And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes.

21 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:

22 And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all:

That was fulfilled on May 14,1948, Israel a nation, one nation, again in the land of Israel... with one leader over the one nation.

btw, I was born in 1948.

Once again, you give a false interpretation of Bible prophecy with the above.

That Ezekiel 37 gathering of the dry bones represents the future 'resurrection' time. It is not only about the nation of Israel, like you are trying... to claim. The rebellious and deceived of Israel are NOT going to be part of Christ's future Kingdom that He will setup in the holy land. It will be for those in Christ, HIS CHURCH. Will that include a believing remnant of the seed... of Israel? YES! of course! And that... is the two sticks are about in that Ezekiel 37 Chapter.

The putting back together of those two sticks HAS NOT HAPPENED YET TODAY. The ONLY ones representing the nation of Israel today are Jews of the old southern kingdom, the "house of Judah", and... small remnants of the northern ten tribes which rejected Jeroboam's calf idols, and instead left the north and went south and joined with Judah at Jerusalem-Judea. That is still today... who the nation of Israel in the middle east is represented by today. The majority of the seed of old Israel, the ten northern tribes of the "house of Israel", are still LOST to the Jews today, and to the world. But they are not... lost to GOD Who has promised to gather them.

And the archaeological history of the migrations of the ten northern tribes whom God sent out of the holy land to the land of Assyria and the Medes, can be traced. Links in the Assyrian tablets about the ten tribes have established name connections which the Assyrian called the ten tribes by. And that name became derived into the name Cimmerian (the 'C' pronounced as a K, like Celtic). Those Cimmerians were made up of tribes that migrated from the east into the lands of Asia Minor and Europe, some of them crossing the Caucasus mountains north of the Black Sea, and calling their selves Caucasians. Others of them, the Scythians, followed them, as there were various stages of their migrations. And they all brought their false Baal worship with them into Asia Minor and Europe while only a small remnant of them stayed faithful to God, and kept their heritage as part of the old nation of Israel. Those even remarked of their history as Israel in the Scottish Declaration of Arbroath in the 1300's.

Thus the gathering of the 'stick of Ephraim', as Jeroboam was of the tribe of Ephraim which God setup as king over the northern "kingdom of Israel" after He split Israel in Solomon's day, now is represented by a majority of the ten lost tribes of Israel that are Christians living in the Christian West.

Thus your idea that today's nation state of Israel in the middle east fulfilled that Ezekiel 37 prophecy about the 'stick of Ephraim' is a JOKE you got from false Jews.

The villages, towns and cities in Israel are not encompassed with walls. The walls in the pictures are to separate Israel from the west bank strip of land along the Jordan river. The west bank area hosts Palestinians who as a whole oppose Israel. The walls are intended to keep out Palestinian militants.

Which means you ought... to rethink who God is actually pointing to in Ezekiel 38 with the following...

Ezek 38:11-16
11 And thou shalt say, "I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,

12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land."

13 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, "Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?"

That "merchants of Tarshish" is referring to trade with an old area of southern Spain. That means EUROPE involved bro., being attacked by that Gog/Magog army.


14 Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when My people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?

15 And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:

16 And thou shalt come up against My people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against My land, that the heathen may know Me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
KJV

What that prophecy actually involves is BOTH... the Israel in the middle east, AND... God's Israel of Christians living in the West, representing the majority of the scattered ten northern tribes.

Ever since Russia has had bombers, they have been flying into U.S. airspace near Alaska to test our northwestern border. And Russia is still angry over the old Seward's Folly of selling Alaska to the U.S. for a mere 7 million dollars. They want it back today, and have built Russian bases in eastern Russia near our Alaskan and the Canadian borders.

Isaiah 49 is about Jesus being born to the nation of Israel.

The Jews of Benjamin Netanyahu's generation will turn to Jesus in the middle of the 7 years that follow Ezekiel 39's Gog/Magog event. The 7 years are in Ezekiel 39:9. The Jews turning to Jesus and the gospel of salvation is in Revelation 12:10.

Revelation 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

"the accuser of our brethren is cast down" - who is the accuser?

So when you accuse the Jews, who's work are you doing ?

Any of the Jews that are deceived going into the coming "great tribulation" will remain... deceived throughout it, that is what God's Word shows, otherwise all the Bible Scriptures about the shock upon them when they see Jesus coming in the clouds will have been a lie.

For those Jews who are Christians, meaning they believe on Jesus of Nazareth as The Christ, Messiah of Old Testament prophecy, they are sealed by Christ and are part of the 144,000 sealing of Revelation 7. Yet the majority of those 144,000 actually are of the ten tribes, as the Jews historically ONLY are represented by the 3 tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and Levi (and I think you know this, but may be trying to hide that here).

 

[Davy]

Davy, the discussion was about Luke 21:6-24. Jesus was speaking there on the temple mount that day in the temple outer courtyard. When some there present commented in the grandeur of the temple in Luke 21:5. Then Jesus began to say to them that the temple would be destroyed in verse 6. And expanded to verse 24, when the Jews would be scattered into the nations.

I wasn't discussing Luke 21, I was discussing Luke 23 where Jesus quoted the "Blessed are the barren..." metaphor from Isaiah 54 about the future children of the deceived "Daughters of Jerusalem."

I am well aware of what all the Luke 21 Olivet discourse prophecy covers. Involving Jerusalem, it is a DUAL FULFILLMENT type prophecy. There are still stones atop one another upon the temple mount today (called The Dome of The Rock). That area will be flattened when Jesus returns on the last day of this world, so that will be a 2nd fulfillment of what the prophecy in 70 A.D. did not... complete.

Thus trying claim that Luke 21 prophecy is all about history, like Preterists and Historicists do, is nothing but a fake baloney sandwich, and you know what baloney is made up of, scraps.

 

[Davy]

Verse 24 says nothing about being "kicked out" of the "kingdom". The term kingdom is not used at all in verse 24.

Verse 25 picks up in the end times and the last episode of the Gentiles trampling down Jerusalem, which is Revelation 11:2.


No, Revelation 11:2 does not say anyone is "kicked out" or go into exile. Nor is the term "kingdom" used in Revelation 11:2.

Revelation 11:2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

All of the timeframes for the end times given in the bible fit within the 7 years following Gog/Magog of Ezekiel 39. The 7 years of Ezekiel 39:9

Here are all the end times timeframes give in the bible with a brief description...

gentiles trample Jerusalem - 42 months Revelation 11:2
the beast-king's reign - 42 months Revelation 13:5
Satan's persecution - time, times, half time Revelation 12:14
little horn changes times and laws - time, times, half time Daniel 7:25
Daniel's people under duress - time, times, half time Daniel 12:7
abomination of desolation, great tribulation - 1335 days Daniel 12:12
abomination of desolation, tribulation of those days - 1290 days Daniel 12:11
little horn's actions - 2300 days Daniel 8:14
7 years - Daniel 9:27
7 years - Ezekiel 39:9
Israel burying the dead of Gog's armies - 7 months Ezekiel 39:12
Israel fed the Word of God - 1260 days, Revelation 12:6
the two witnesses testify in Jerusalem - 1260 days Revelation 11:3
the two witnesses' bodies lay dead - 3 1/2 days Revelation 11:9-11
flesh tormenting locust - 5 months Revelation 9:10

Once again, that is pushing a false alignment of prophetic events devised by false Jews.

There is NO seven year period after the "abomination of desolation" idol is setup in Jerusalem. Instead, the Daniel Scripture reveals the actual "great tribulation" time will only be a 1260 days period, which means 3 years and 1/2. And even so, Lord Jesus said He 'shortened' that time for His elect's sake.

And the Gog/Magog invasion of Ezekiel 38-39 will ONLY occur on the LAST DAY of this world when Jesus appears coming in the clouds.

The timing which Revelation 11:1-14 represents is the 6th Trumpet - 2nd Woe Period, i.e. the time of "great tribulation" at the end of this world just prior to Jesus' return on the 7th Trumpet - 3rd Woe.

Luke 21:24 is about the 70 AD destruction of the temple, followed by the Jews taken captives into the nations.

How do you think there are Jews present in the nations around the world ? They were taken captive into the nations, while the Gentiles have occupied Jerusalem for 2000 years. A part of that by the Muslims. The Jews did not come back into the land of Israel until after WWII, when a number of them returned and Israel became a nation in the land again in May 14, 1948.

Once again, Jesus' Olivet discourse of Luke 21 only covers a SMALL PART of the 70 A.D. events.

The MAJORITY of Luke 21 is for the VERY END OF THIS WORLD, and includes the event of Jesus' future coming.

 

[Davy]

All three, Ezekiel 38:28-29, Matthew 24:31, Deuteronomy 30:1-6 is about God gathering the Jews from the nations into the land of Israel.

No, it is about Christ's gathering of His CHURCH to the land of Israel where He and His CHURCH will reign over all nations with the "rod of iron". Zechariah 14 reveals Jesus will bring ALL His saints with Him there to the Mount of Olives east of Jerusalem, to begin His future 1,000 years reign.

Per the Jewish historian Josephus, he said the title of 'Jew' is what the REMNANT that returned to the holy land from the Babylon captivity called themselves, including the strangers that went captive with them and returned with them. And Josephus said that title of JEW was derived from the tribe of Judah. Thus Apostle Paul claimed to be a Jew born of the tribe of Benjamin. So how's that?

It is because the tribes of Judah and Benjamin became joined together after God split old Israel into two kingdoms (1 Kings 11 thru 2 Kings 17). And then when Jeroboam setup calf idols in the north, the Levites left and went south and joined with Judah also. Thus the southern kingdom, the "house of Judah", was made up of ONLY 3 tribes of Israel, the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and Levi. Then a remnant out of the ten northern tribes also rejected Jeroboam's idols and left the north to join with Judah too. This is how Anna, who was born of the northern tribe of Asher, appears among the Jews in Jerusalem preaching about Lord Jesus.

That means that title of JEW was never historically applied to the ten northern tribes of Israel which God scattered out of the holy land, which represent the majority of the seed of Israel.

 

[Davy]

The term one end of heaven to the other, does not mean heaven where God's throne is. But is a figure of speech meaning the most distant lands. The same type of wording is used in Deuteronomy 30:4.

Deuteronomy 30:
1 And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee,

2 And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul;

3 That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee.

4 If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee:

5 And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.

6 And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.

----------------------------------------------

Ezekiel 39:28 is Matthew 24:31 - fulfilling the promise God made in Deuteronomy 30:1-6

The vision Ezekiel was presented in Ezekiel 37 of the valley of dry bones was symbolic of Israel becoming a nation again in the land of Israel. No longer two nations of north and south, but one unite nation - which was fulfilled in May 14, 1948.

The part of Ezekiel 37 about the messiah being their king is still yet to be fulfilled - but will be fulfilled when Jesus returns.

There you go again, trying to 'flesh-erize' the meaning of that term 'one end of heaven to the other' phrase.

The following by Lord Jesus is NOT... an expression. It is about a LITERAL gathering of His saints on the last day of this world...

Matt 24:31
31 And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
KJV

That is about the 'asleep' saints that Apostle Paul mentioned that Jesus will bring with Him when He descends to the earth on His future return. Those will be resurrected on that day. That is meant LITERALLY.

1 Thess 4:13-16
13 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 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:
KJV

 

[tailgator]

Jesus, when He returns, will be the king of Israel forever.

And who do you say is king of Israel forever in Ezekiel 37:24-25?
Do you agree this is speaking of Christ?
Or do you claim this is someone else who is king of Israel forever?



Ezekiel 37
24 And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.

25 And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children's children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever.

 

[Davy]

The text say the eagles will gather where the carcass is. Jesus is saying that there will be many people who will die during the great tribulation.

Once again, your Jewish influence is coming out, with just too much dwelling on flesh existence like they do. We in Christ are given The Spirit to understand spiritual matters, so dwelling on fleshy ideas is not what a lot of God's Word is about.

Matt 24:28
28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
KJV

Jesus was giving a metaphor about FALSE WORSHIP. It is NOT... about flesh death during the "great tribulation"!

Luke 17:36-37
36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
37 And they answered and said unto Him, "Where, Lord?" And He said unto them, "Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together."
KJV

That idea of being "taken" is about DECEPTION to the coming false-Messiah and his workers during the "great tribulation" timing.

Thus those DECEIVED will SYMBOLICALLY represent a dead "CARCASE", meaning spiritually dead for bowing to the false-Christ that comes first.

 

[Davy]

The gathering of the elect in Matthew 24:31 is gathering of living Jews scattered in the nations to the land of Israel. There is no resurrection in Matthew 24:31.

And yet again, you SCOOT the actual prophecies about the end and what happens on the day of Jesus' future return to gather His Church.

You should actually study Paul's Epistles more.

Jesus is going to gather HIS CHURCH on the day of His future coming. That... is what is written in The New Testament Books. You should read them instead of your attempting to re-write The New Testament into a JEWISH EVENT.

 

[Davy]

Are you speaking about Christians who are martyred during the great tribulation ? If so, those martyred Christians will be brought back to life in Revelation 20:4-6. It does not say gathered in that text.

You still have not acknowledged that Israel over there today is no longer divided into two nations of north and south.

That Israel in today's middle east still does NOT... include the TEN LOST TRIBES OF ISRAEL either!

The false Jews of the "synagogue of Satan" are very GREEDY and GREAT LIARS.

God first scattered the ten northern tribes of Israel out of the holy land captive among the Gentiles NEVER TO RETURN, EVEN TO THIS DAY.

Those ten northern tribes of Israel made up the MAJORITY of the seed of old Israel, and they probably still make up the MAJORITY of the literal seed of Israel to this day, although they are hidden to the Jews and to the world, but not to God, for He has promised to gather them in FINAL when Jesus returns.

So the Jew who claims that God has ALREADY GATHERED ALL 12 TRIBES back to the nation state of Israel today is telling a HUGE LIE from the "synagogue of Satan"! The ten lost tribes of Israel are STILL SCATTERED TODAY.

Know what else? There's probably MORE JEWS LIVING IN THE CHRISTIAN WEST than in the nation state of Israel today! How is it that God has not yet gathered them back to the holy land???

Since the ten tribes were scattered out of the holy land long ago, the Jews of the southern "kingdom of Judah" became the only seed of Israel that was left in the land. They are the ones who called themselves JEWS with that title derived from the sole tribe of Judah. And they then began to claim THEY ONLY represent the authentic 'seed' of Israel today. Fact is, the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and Levi especially, took wives of the Canaanites, something God commanded them to not do! And they allowed many foreigners of the nation of Edom to become religious Jews living among them, which means there are many STRANGERS among them claiming to be Jews also! The Jews are actually such a mixed up bunch of seed that it's difficult for hardly any of them to trace their original lineages back to the early tribes of Israel.

They may enjoy... their false claim that they only... represent the literal seed of Israel, but that is actually a claim of vanity. And good thing Lord Jesus made His Salvation Plan work this way, because His Church is about those who believe on Him and The Father according to one's spirit and FAITH on the Blood of Jesus Christ, and NOT based on our flesh birth. There will be NO one saved by Christ according to their flesh birth!

 

[Davy]

Jesus comes from heaven for the rapture/resurrection event before the Antichrist commits the transgression of desolation act of 2Thessalonians2:4.

No, Jesus does NOT come 'before' that Antichrist performs the acts of 2 Thess.2:4.

If one simply follows the order of prophecy that Jesus gave in His Olivet discourse of Matthew 24, they will discover that the coming false-Christ will place the "abomination of desolation" IDOL in a new JEWISH temple built in Jerusalem for the last days.

And that is what starts off the time of "great tribulation" by that coming false-Messiah who will sit in that "temple of God" of 2 Thess.2:4, and falsely claim... to be God, and over all that is called God, or that is worshiped.

NONE of us in Christ are gathered by Jesus at that time, not until AFTER that false-Messiah does his thing in end time Jerusalem. And the 2 Thess.2 Scripture is very easy to understand about this, because Paul shows that Jesus' coming is to destroy that false-Christ, so that false one MUST appear and work on earth first, BEFORE Jesus comes.

So don't listen to the false Jew's fake Pre-trib Rapture Theories. It's no doubt in my mind those are the ones who started that false theory of a pre-trib rapture.

 

[Davy]

No, the current nation of Israel is not the beast.

But it soon WILL BE!

Brethren in Christ, the Jews hate any idea that the nation state of Israel today might become the headquarters of the coming false-Messiah, but that is EXACTLY the warning God has given about Jerusalem for the very end of this world! Today's Jerusalem will become the Revelation Babylon Harlot when that false-Messiah shows up there doing great signs and wonders with claiming to be God, and the majority of Jews there will actually be deceived and believe it.

Jesus referred to the placing of the "abomination of desolation" in a temple in Jerusalem at the end of this world, quoting from Daniel 11:31 about it, which is a type of DUAL FULFILLMENT PROPHECY. Antiochus IV was the first one to do that in the 2nd temple in Jerusalem in 170-164 B.C. But Jesus quoted that prophecy during His Ministry about 200 years after Antiochus IV. That means look for another at the 'end' of this world with a 3rd Jewish temple in Jerusalem, because Jesus quoted that AOD within events He was giving the Church about the end of this world just prior to His future return.

 

[Davy]

Ezekiel 39 does not include the 1000 year millennium rule of Jesus, nor Satan being imprisoned in the bottomless pit during those 1000 years, nor Satan's release to deceive the nations one last time - which will include the Gog-Magog nations again.

Ezekiel 39 does not MENTION those events, but it does INCLUDE those future events, because on that day when the Gog/Magog army is burned up by God's "consuming fire" on the "day of the Lord", that is the day Jesus appears, and His future 1,000 begins right then.

 

[tailgator]

Ezekiel 39 does not MENTION those events, but it does INCLUDE those future events, because on that day when the Gog/Magog army is burned up by God's "consuming fire" on the "day of the Lord", that is the day Jesus appears, and His future 1,000 begins right then.

Actually ,Gog is burned up 1000 years after
Jesus comes and raises Israel from the dead .
It's just the kingdom of the beast that is burned up on the day of the Lord when Jesus first comes.Then the beasts kingdom is given to the resurected saints of Israel and they reign in that kingdom.

Revelation 20

King James Version

​

20 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

 

[tailgator]

Ezekiel 39 does not MENTION those events, but it does INCLUDE those future events, because on that day when the Gog/Magog army is burned up by God's "consuming fire" on the "day of the Lord", that is the day Jesus appears, and His future 1,000 begins right then.

Ezekiel 39 takes place 1000 years after the resurection of Israel in Ezekiel 37.
Jesus reign in the kingdom of Israel begins in Ezekiel 37

24 And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.

25 And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children's children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever.

Mark 13:24-27
24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.
26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
27 And then shall He send His angels, and shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
KJV

That above underlined part is what Apostle Paul taught in 1 Thessalonians 4:17, what some call the 'rapture of the Church' from the earth.

Davy, Mark 13:24-27 is the same as Matthew 24:29-31.

Neither passage is referring to the resurrection/rapture event of 1Thessalonians4:14-18. No-one is being resurrected in Mark 13:24-27. Nor changed in the twinkling of an eye.

1Corinthians15:
51 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.
