Biblical proof!!! Rapture will not occur until at least half way through trib!!!

4I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5(The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection. 6Blessed and holy are those who have part in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years.

If the the First resurrection includes those who overcome the Anti christ(mark of the beast), that would place the First resurrection after the revealing of the anti christ.

Most Christians( pre mid post )agree this will happen at the middle of the trib.

Please follow this......

1 Thess 4:13-18 states

13Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope. 14We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. 15According to the Lord's own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 18Therefore encourage each other with these words.

Notice that the dead in Christ, rise first, also notice we that are still alive will cetainly not preceed the dead in Christ


This is a resurrection .....correct?

Then the rapture.... correct?

Resurrection then rapture..... correct?

So, if the ones who overcome the antichrist(mark) are part of the first resurrection, and the rapture ocurrs immedietly after, then the rapture cannot occur before the trib.

Do you see it????

Pls respond pre tribbers
