Revelation 20 - Rapture / First Resurrection Happens After Satan is Bound - KJV Bible Study

Totally get it

Tribulation isn't Wrath, and the 'End Times' Tribulation isn't Wrath either.

Think about it.

For the last 2000 years, Christians have died from...

1. Violent persecution

2. Violent storms

3. Wars

4. Famine

5. Plagues

6. Earthquakes

7. Car accidents, diseases, tainted water etc...

NONE of these things were God's 'wrath' - yet they are all the same types of things in the first few Seals in Revelation.

Tribulation isn't wrath folks.

...

I was working on a 'rebutal' of Pre-Trib talking points last night - and 'First Resurrection' came up in my mind.

I woke up this morning and had the same 'feeling' - so I finally went and took a closer look.

It doesn't get any more straight-forward than what the sequence of scripture describes.



...

This is the First Resurrection / rapture.

31 And he shall send his angels
with a great sound of a trumpet, and

they shall gather together his elect
from the four winds,
from one end of heaven to the other.

...

And Jesus brings His 'reward' to Earth.

Matthew 16:27 For the Son of man shall come

in the glory of his Father with his angels;

and then he shall reward every man according to his works.


Revelation 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly;

and my reward is with me,

to give every man according as his work shall be.

...

Revelation 6 shows that the 'judgement' - which happens BEFORE the 'Wrath' - hasn't happened yet.

And those under the altar have been there for a long time - as they are told to 'wait until'....and they are waiting for those FROM the Great Tribulation.

Revelation 6

10 And they cried with a loud voice,
saying, How long, O Lord, holy and
true, dost thou not judge and avenge our
blood on them that dwell on the earth?

11 And white robes were given unto
every one of them; and it was said unto
them, that they should rest yet for a little

season, until their fellowservants also and
their brethren, that should be killed as
they were, should be fulfilled.

Says WHO? No scripture states such.

...

Show us the verse that says the 'church' does NOT go through 'tribulation'.

You can't - it doesn't exist.

And....looky here....straight from Paul...

...'we must endure MUCH Tribulation'.

....

Acts 14

19 And there came thither certain J-Hebrews from Antioch and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and, having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing he had been dead.

20 Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and came into the city: and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.

21 And when they had preached the gospel

to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch,

22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must

through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.

.....

Jesus and the Apostles tell readers to 'endure until the end'.

1. According to Revelation 6, the first 5 Seals are not "judgements" / wrath.

Revelation 6:9 - 10

9 And when he had opened the fifth
seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:

10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

...

2. In Revelation 7, after the 6th Seal has been opened, we see an angel descend with the 'seal of God', which will be used to mark the foreheads of the 144,000 from the 12 tri-***clans***-bes.

It's easy to argue that these are Messianic Believers, and they need to be 'sealed' BEFORE Wrath can begin.

Revelation 7:3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

...

3. Wrath is mentioned as part of the 6th Seal in Revelation 6.

Revelation 6:16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Lall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

OP. Stop trying to interpret scripture. Your interpretation is blasphemous and wrong.

Prove it. You can't.

Much of scripture is straight-forward.

Not some 'secret' that has to be explained by 'priests'.

You'd have us believe that Father God doesn't want Truth to be easily understood by those who are seeking Him.

Thread: The Seven Vials of 'Wrath' - Revelation 16 - KJV Bible Study

...

Revelation 20 shows us the 'rapture' - the First Resurredtion - doesn't happen until Satan has been bound and tossed into the 'bottomless pie'.

This is just before Christ's Millenial Reign.


You need to reconcile that more closely with MAT Ch 24.
Which places the Rapture just after the opeming of the sixth seal, Chapter 7, which is mid Trib.
Which saves us from the wrath of the Trumpet Judgements.

The Rapture takes up the living and the dead.
You are looking at the First Resurection of the Dead (and only the righteous dead, coming out of the Tribulation), which comes only after the Tribulation ends.
They inherit the millenial kingdom.

Why the Sixth Seal?

Vials of Wrath happen after the Seventh Trumpet

Thread: Pre-Trib Rapture? How Does the Last Trump Happen BEFORE that? - KJV Bible Sutdy

...

It happened

Jesus rose and the dead were seen walking through the streets... 70 ad came around and most of revelation happened then..

Impossible for the Rapture to happen when the OP suggests, scripturally impossible.


But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left.
Matthew 24:37-41


What will life be like per scripture during Christ’s Second Coming or when Satan is bound as OP suggests?

It will not be people eating and drinking, having fun, marrying and giving in marriage. No, that’s how life is today, right now at this very moment and now is the season.*** I would venture close to 98% or more of the 8 billion living on this earth presently aren’t expecting or anticipating a rapture (minus the so-called “elite” who knows it’s coming) hence Jesus’ comparison.

At the time OP suggests for a Rapture, the earth will be unrecognizable as far as landscape and nearly inhabitable and most every person on earth left will have the mark and be under mind-control. This will not be a time of “marrying and drinking and eating and having fun” etc. Christ’s bride is gone before the Rapture even begins hence why they’re never mentioned after Ch.4 in Revelation through Ch. 20 when the 7-year Tribulation is explained.

The Rapture can happen at any moment now, even today, at any second, we’re in the season right now. Don’t be deceived and don’t grow lax in your walk with Christ. This is why Jesus tells us to pray to be counted worthy and escape, escape meaning escape the Tribulation.

For the Sept 23 nonsense.

Souls of those slain - not raptured beings.

Thread: Revelation 6:9 Souls of Believers - Not Raprure / Resurrected People

The rapture happens internally when one reaches a certain stage in their spiritual walk. Their crown chakra activated and they embody Jesus Christ IN the flesh. At that time, Satan (reptilian brain) is now subject to the (Neo Cortex) which is the proper hierarchy. Christ, masculine energy, feminine energy...

When, therefore, the thousand years shall have expired then Satan will be loosed from his captivity in the dark valley. This resurrection of Evil Sparks may, by one historic ray, be construed to mean the second resurrection. This experience, however, instead of serving as a warning evidently is used by Satan as a means for deceiving the hosts that constitute his army in its relation to the Law pertaining to the four quarters of the earth as the Four Ages of Man. By the entering in of the Law in the Euphratic Age the ministration of death shall be fulfilled upon the transgressor; the term “Gog and Magog” being defined to mean “roof or covering” and “roof that covers” thereby comprehending, in these premises, the operations of Lucifer “the anointed cherub that covereth.” By the return from the dark valley, therefore, Satan can easily deceive his host into the belief that he triumphs over death through his own power, and, hence, that life is assured to them forever. Through the contiguity of good and evil in each and every entity Satan’s army is as the sand of the sea for number, even as, through the Divine Sparks, the seed of Abraham is as the stars of heaven, the dust of the earth, and the sand that is by the seashore for number.
