AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Thessalonians 4:17 Then we who are alive and remain [on the earth] will simultaneously be caught up (raptured) together with them [the resurrected ones] in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord!

Subject: Order of events at the 2nd Coming? |
Bible Note: Greetings EdB! You are right about the Battle of Armageddon! It is recorded in Rev. 16:16. Thus, it would take place immediately prior to the Second Coming. I was going by my chart and did not check the reference. There is a second battle referred to in Rev. 20:1-6, but it is not the battle of Armageddon. You said that the Bible wasn't clear on the timing. I would agree with the Rapture, but many of the other events can be placed in a chronological order relative to other events. For instance, we know that the Second Coming must occur before the Judgement. Note also, that I presented this sequence as my opinion only. Anyone who wants to discuss it with me is welcome to! Anyone who wants to ignore, is welcome to! Anyone who wants to file it away for future reference, is welcome to! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
