Bible Question: Do you think that the 'caught up together' event in 1 Thess 4:17 is the same event as 'our gathering together to Him' event in 2 Thess 2:1, and if not, why not? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Chimney rock and welcome to the forum. I believe all of the following verses are speaking of the same event. 1 Thes. 4:17 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. 2 Thes. 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 1 Cor. 15:51-52 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52In 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. Matthew 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. Matthew 13:39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. Matthew 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. Enjoy the forum, CDBJ |
