Bible Note: The rapture position: Believers will be "taken up" at the beginning of the 7 years of tribulation. We will be with Christ during this time.It is referred to as "the wedding feast." At the end of the 7 years we will return to earth to rule and reign with Christ for 1000 years. The final judgment will occur at the end of the 1000 years. Christians will be at the "bema seat of Christ" to determine rewards. The lost, or unsaved will be judged "according to their works," which will fall short since they did not trust in Jesus and recieve the free gift of eternal life through Him. They will be cast into the lake of fire forever and the believers will enter their final rest and be with Jesus forever. The rest of the dead refer to those who died without Christ at the end of the 7 years of tribulation and are awaiting judgment. |
