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!

Bible Note: First there is death in the millennium, so there has to be natural people. Resurrected saints are promised imperishable body so they can't die. Going into the tribulation are two groups of people one that will take the mark of the beast and those that won’t. Of the group that won’t they will either be raptured or killed for their belief. Those that take the mark will most probably be killed at Armageddon. I believe the saints that have died in Christ and the raptured saints will rule with Christ during the millennium but I believe they are going to rule natural people and my question is where do these natural people come from. Are they people that took the mark but were given a second chance? Are not all those that don’t take the mark going to be killed? |
