1 | What about the people during that time? | Luke 16:19 | kalos | 4423 | ||
Blaze: Yours is a very interesting and reasonable question. However, there is one thing in your question which is unclear to me. When you write of "those who aren’t raptured, [but] who survive to the glorious appearing", do you mean those who were unsaved at the time of the rapture but were then saved after the rapture and remain alive until the Millenial Kingdom? No criticism at all is intended by me. I'm merely trying to understand the original question. Thanks for your posting. --JVH0212 | ||||||
2 | What about the people during that time? | Luke 16:19 | Blaze | 4424 | ||
Okay, sorry. There are people who don't yet have glorified bodies during the Millennial Kingdom based on Isaiah 65 and Zechariah 14. Because a glorified body would not die at 100 nor would there be a glorified saint who ‘does not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King’. I believe these are the sheep nations (or their offspring) referred to in Matthew 25. I believe the rapture is either pre-trib for several reasons, but even if it is late in the tribulation, I don't think it could be directly at the Second Coming for three huge reasons: 1. The Marriage Supper of the Lamb occurs in Revelation 19 BEFORE the Second Coming. 2. How can He come with the saints, if they are being taken from the earth? This doesn’t allow for the Bema Seat Judgement of believers (crowns presented). 3. If the rapture occurs at the Second Coming and the goat nations are cast into the Lake of Fire, then all remaining humans have glorified bodies and they are like angels (no reproduction – no marriage). So to clear things up, I mean those who were unsaved or unborn at the rapture, who survived to the Second Coming without taking the Mark of the Beast. |
