THE RESURRECTION AND THE RAPTURE

“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout,with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God:and the dead in Christ shall rise first: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. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.”(I Thessalonians 4: 16-18).”And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.” ( Daniel 12:2,3).”Behold, I show you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,In 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.” (I Corinthians 15:51,52).This is talking about the seventh Trumpet of the Great Tribulation. ( see our class on Revelation chapter 10).”And the graves were opened;and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,And came out of the graves after his Resurrection,and went into the holy city,and appeared unto many.”( Matthew 27:52,53). when Jesus takes all the saved to be with him in Heaven for the Great Marriage supper of the Lamb which is called the Rapture. This is what  all Christian believers are looking forward to when we see Jesus and .all the resurrected believers. HAVE YOU GOT YOUR TICKET TO GET IN? YOU DO IF YOU HAVE ASKED JESUS CHRIST INTO YOUR HEART ! Did you know that when Jesus himself was resurrected from the grave and walked upon the earth for forty days that also the old Testament prophets were resurrected  from a place called Paradise where they were waiting for that day. Remember Jesus told the thief on the cross that believed on him, “Verily I say unto thee to day shalt thou be with me in paradise.” (Luke 23:43 ). Jesus first stopped off there (on his way to Hell ) to see the Old Testament Prophets and Saints who died. Maybe he took some of them with him on his prison ministry when he went to hell to preach to the spirits in prison. He went all the way down to Gehenna the lake of fire in the heart of the earth.  These Prophets  also walked the streets of Jerusalem and were taken up to heaven? See you here or there or in the air !!!!!!!
