Rapture (Rebuke)-21
[ Regarding
THE 2D COMING ]
"The
MYSTERY"..
[10] Ok. One "last little
item", and we'll close this out.. Way back at the
beginning (on "page-1"), the
very first verse quoted from 1 Cor 15.51,
which says:
..Notice The word "MYSTERY" and what follows: 'We will not
all sleep, but we will all be
changed'. The 'mystery' never was a declaration
of "your rapture"! "It ALWAYS was about exactly
what it says": 'We shall Not all sleep, but we
shall all be changed'!
->The Mystery "IS ALL ABOUT THOSE WHO
HAD DIED"..and Paul was comforting them regarding that! Not that he was creating "a Second Coming
rapture idea"! ..but rather "easing their
minds about their loved ones". This had not been written before;
neither did they know it, yet, that "at death they would go straight up
to be with Jesus": (As it says: 'to be absent from the
body is to be present with THE LORD'), nor had they
any scriptures telling them about 'the Blessed Hope': that "At
His Coming, the dead would be raised again and changed". So,
He proceeded to tell them more: that (at the
time when Jesus comes) 'the dead'-('the spirits of just ones made perfect') would
come back with Him, and "they would rise again in the Res-urrection of The
Just"(!) And that "the living would also be 'changed'
then too", which 1Cor 15.52
clarifies perfectly (below):
..So,
there it is. That's the 'MYSTERY'--plain as Day!
..No "rap-ture" IN it!!
..It's Only about 'resurrecting' 'into
incorruption': of the saints "that have died and gone
to be with THE LORD before us" (whom, 'He will bring
back with Him' and "raise them up from the dead back to physical life";
AND in the same moments He will even
'Change' us, the 'living (saints)'! (..my
my)
Furthermore, let's
look at 1Thes 4.17 for what you call "the
rap-ture"! Where it clearly says: 'snatched', 'seized'
or 'caught up' (or away). THAT'S
All you get: *Caught
Up, Caught Away, or etc..!
Notice that,
*That's After "The Moment Of
RESURRECTION"!
