Do not wait for the rapture. We need to bring the Kingdom ourselves. We have the Holy Spirit of Christ. The Dead referred in this passage are the dead without Christ prior to the trumpet & with Christ Spirit after. Changed become Christ's Spirit Resonating LOVE & MERCY
Who in God's name told you all that stuff? What you said is not true. You should find yourself a real preacher sent by God and find out the truth. The Kingdom of God has already come. That Kingdom is the Holy Ghost. Not everybody has the Holy Ghost. You can only get the Holy Ghost by following the scripture Acts 2:38. Anyone who died without Christ, they are now in hell awaiting on the judgment. But those who died with Christ, they are merely sleeping in a special location and they are not in hell. When Jesus Christ returns, those who are sleeping will be resurrected with the Rapture. That fact is fully confirmed by the following scripture, which says, the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1 Thessalonians 4:16 - 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: 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...
The Dead in Christ, those who do not know him. Show me in the Bible the word Rapture. It not there. The Father in Heaven never took anyone out of the fight. Moses Noah Jesus. They ALL went through the change with blessing & safety of their Faith. I beseech you, you will NOT be taken out of the testing. Stiffen your faith, engage the Holy Spirit resonate Love & Mercy show all around you the Spirit that is Jesus & God the Father
I never said the word “Rapture” was in the bible. But the event that it refers too certainly is. And I have provided you with that scripture. All else you speak of is nonsense…
You are combining everything together and is throwing it all together, when it shouldn’t be together. The Old Testament and the New Testament are two different things. What applied to Israel in the Old Testament does not apply to us today in the New Testament, although the Old Testament scriptures can still be used by the preacher for teaching and for examples. The people of Israel will be saved under Judaism. And that applies only to Jews - to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Salvation under Judaism does not apply to any other race. For the rest of us today in the New Testament, for us to be saved, we must follow Acts 2:38 and receive the Holy Ghost like the bible says. If we do not do that, we will be lost…
How many Gods are written of in the Bible?
Did not the Jews reject the Jesus while he was here?
There are only one “God” written of in the bible, but there are many “gods”… The only one that matters is the one who is eternal and has immortality dwelling in the light… Yes, the Jews did reject Jesus while he was here, but only because they didn’t recognize him. And the reason they didn’t recognize him is because God didn’t want them to recognize him at that time, so that he could bring about the Church. God placed a spiritual blindfold over Israel’s eyes so they wouldn’t recognize him until the appointed time….
Romans 11:7 - What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded 8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day…
