Subject: Does Christ return before seventh trump |
Bible Note: Verse 16,17 is not even the subject, V 13 is where the subject starts, 13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren concerning them which are a sleep (dead), That ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will GOD will bring with him 15 These people that are alive can't precede them because they are already with him, 2 Corinthians 5:8 We are confident ,I say, and to be absent from this body, and to be present with the LORD. And Ecclesiastes 9:4,5 For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope; for a living dog is better than a dead lion. 5.For the living know that they shall die: But the dead know not any thing, neither have they anymore reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. and Ecclesiastes 12:6,7 Or the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. 7.Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto GOD who gave it. and Luke 23:43 And Jesus (on the cross) said unto him,(the malefactor) Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise, And Luke 16:19-31 the rich man is on the bad side of the gulf and was talking to Abraham all these people are not in the grave, the flesh returns to the dust from which it came, and back to 1 Thessalonians 4 In v.16,17 The word cloud is a figure of speech like a cloud of birds or a cloud of people running a foot race (example Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us. and the word air when we break it back to Greek it means breath not atmosphere, the breath of life spiritual body and this don't happen until the seventh trump 1 Corinthians 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump; (there is only seven)for the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. Revelations 7:9 Who are all these people that escaped Satan's tribulation at the sixth trump his roll as the antichrist claiming to be Christ, The seventh trump has not yet sounded yet, and all these people are not in the grave, and in Ephesians 6:10-19 If God's children were going to turn tail and run from Satan's tribulation what would they need with the whole Armour of God. This flesh body was only temporary when God created the sixth day creation back in Genesis 1;26 When He was restoring the earth. |
