Subject: WHICH COMES FIRST, THE RAPTURE OR TRIBUL |
Bible Note: Rapture means "Catching Away in the Flesh" There are Seven Raptures in the Bible; Gen 5:22-24, Heb 11:5 - Enoch went to Heaven; 2 Kings 2:11 - Elijach went to Heaven; Acts 1:9 - Jesus wento Heaven (Resurrected Flesh); 1 Thess 4:15-19 - The Church (Us) go to Heaven); Rev. 7:9 - Mid Tribulation Saints go to Heaven; Rev. 14: 1-5 - 144,000 Sealed Jews go to Heaven; Rev. 11:11-12 - Two Witnesses head for Heaven. We (the Body of Christ) are caught away before the Tribulation. Those who come to Christ via the Ministry of the 144,000 are caught away at half time and they go through half of the Tribulation period. This is where the confusion arises about the Rapture. Most people don't realize that there already have been some Raptures, but when you take all of them into account, they make sense. |
