Rapture (Rebuke)-9
 
[ Regarding THE 2D COMING ]
 
"This" Is How HE Comes Back..
 
[5] And No Ir-, 'The 2d Coming' is NOT called "the rapture" either! The correct term is '(the) Parousia': 'the Presence', the Appear-ance: (we say "2d Coming") when "the dead and living in Christ are raised, changed and caught up to meet The LORD in the air": when "the Great Trumpet blows long and loud" in fulfillment of 1Cor 15 & 1 Thes 4. Some call it "the rapture" but we see now it's not so! It's 'The Parousia', 'The Appearing', or "2nd Coming" of Christ THE LORD, our Blessed Hope.
 
 Jesus referred to it as the time of 'Resurrection' when speaking to His disciples "as to when they would be raised from the dead", saying about 5 times (in Jn 6), 'in THE LAST DAY'..'in THE LAST DAY'..'in THE LAST DAY'! HE was making it crystal clear to them when 'the resurrection of the believers' was to be. (A dis-tinction from the 'resurrection of damnation'-which we now know, is to be '1000 years' later). The "FIRST RESURRECTION", The one 'of the redeemed', is the "WHOLE" Church's TRUE BLESSED HOPE 'in The Last Day' just like Jesus emphasized.  (And, it includes 'the saints' you call "left-behind": those you say are "left to deal with the horrors of the tribulation", as you like to dig it into us), which 'Blessed Hope' will come, 'AFTER', the Mat 24 7-year Tribulation; which is when 'The (one and only) Harvest' of this age happens.
  ..Well let's prove it from Matthew Chapters 13 & 24.
 Mat 13 tells us of the parable of The Sower. This is where we learn of the "gather(ings) of 'the wheat' and 'the tares'": At The Second Coming of Jesus. Recall what it says. JESUS said:
 
 
 Mat 13.30..'Let BOTH grow together until the harvest; and in (the) time of harvest I will say to the reapers, "Gather togeth-er first the tares and bind them into bundles to burn them; but "gather the wheat" into My barn'.
 
 
[(of course, the most important point here is The time of Harvest. IT happens Once when Jesus Returns. It has to be. Because that's when you "r" people, and All of us get "harvested"! ..see it? i hope you do. This's when He sends out His angels (says Mat 24.31 shown below) at the Great Sound of a Trumpet, who "gather" the harv-est of 'the wheat'=(His elect), and 'the tares'=(the harvest of the wicked). These are 2 harvests within the One Main Harvest: ('the
