Bible Question: How come God said that when Jesus returns we who are alive will not preceed those who are asleep in the rapture? Also He says...to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.Where are they? |
Bible Answer: steamboat, You are observing scripture's testiment to two truths. The first, the ressurection will happen and after the ressurrection then those who are still alive at that point will be raptured. This goes contrary to the popular dispensational teaching of the rapture, which they say happens 7 years prior to the ressurection day. The second thing you are observing is the fact that when we die we are present with Christ. Where are they? With Christ. Wherever Christ is, that is where the saints who died in Christ will be. So the question becomes, where is Christ? The answer: At the right hand of the Father. I hope this helps. In Christ, Beja |
