And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.   Revelation 4:1-2: Come Up Hither :: By John M RaptureReady Oct 22, 2019  The “door” opened in heaven is Jesus Himself. John 10:7 & 9 states, “Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.” Jesus stated emphatically in John 14:6 that He is the only way to heaven. Jesus is the Savior of mankind. He is the Word of God (John 1:1).   The “trumpet” is the next key to the puzzle. I Thessalonians 4:13-18 states, “But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 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: 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. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.” The above verses in I Thessalonians 4 reveal that “the Lord Himself” will open the door to Heaven and will descend to the clouds. The “trump of God” will sound and the Church will receive their glorified bodies “immediately.” I Corinthians 15:51-53 states, “Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.” The Apostle John was taken up in the spirit. The bodies of dead saints will be resurrected and their soul and spirits that are in heaven will be incorporated into their glorified bodies. The saints that are alive will be taken up and changed in less than a second. In a twinkling of an eye, the body corrupted with sin will be changed into a body like the Lord Jesus. 1 John 3:2-3 states, “Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.” What a great promise. What a “comfort.” What a “blessed hope”! The Apostle John was taken up in the spirit to view the Lord’s Day (Revelation 1:10) or the Day of the Lord, from Heaven. Revelation 3:10-11 states, “Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.” The book of Revelation promises a blessing to those who read it (1:3) and promises the overcoming Church that they will be exempt from “the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world.” It is not a shock to see the Apostle John taken up in the spirit because he represents the true Church. After the rapture of the Church or the removal of the Restrainer (the Holy Spirit that indwells the Church), God will turn His focus to Israel. God has made covenants with Israel, which will be fulfilled. Jesus will come suddenly for His bride. We will be transported to heaven until the indignation or tribulation is completed. - Fair Use -]]> Main Forum Geri9 https://raptureintheairnow.com/community/main-forum/psalm-83-then-into-ezekiel-38/paged/5/#post-51106 https://raptureintheairnow.com/community/main-forum/psalm-83-then-into-ezekiel-38/paged/4/#post-51103 Thu, 23 Nov 2023 13:31:34 +0000 Main Forum Greg https://raptureintheairnow.com/community/main-forum/psalm-83-then-into-ezekiel-38/paged/4/#post-51103 https://raptureintheairnow.com/community/main-forum/psalm-83-then-into-ezekiel-38/paged/4/#post-51102 Thu, 23 Nov 2023 11:37:09 +0000 Main Forum NoFearJustFaith https://raptureintheairnow.com/community/main-forum/psalm-83-then-into-ezekiel-38/paged/4/#post-51102 https://raptureintheairnow.com/community/main-forum/psalm-83-then-into-ezekiel-38/paged/4/#post-51101 Thu, 23 Nov 2023 11:04:51 +0000 Main Forum NoFearJustFaith https://raptureintheairnow.com/community/main-forum/psalm-83-then-into-ezekiel-38/paged/4/#post-51101 https://raptureintheairnow.com/community/main-forum/psalm-83-then-into-ezekiel-38/paged/4/#post-51089 Wed, 22 Nov 2023 20:36:13 +0000 Main Forum Tiffany S https://raptureintheairnow.com/community/main-forum/psalm-83-then-into-ezekiel-38/paged/4/#post-51089 https://raptureintheairnow.com/community/main-forum/psalm-83-then-into-ezekiel-38/paged/4/#post-51088 Wed, 22 Nov 2023 20:34:54 +0000 Main Forum Tiffany S https://raptureintheairnow.com/community/main-forum/psalm-83-then-into-ezekiel-38/paged/4/#post-51088 https://raptureintheairnow.com/community/main-forum/psalm-83-then-into-ezekiel-38/paged/3/#post-51084 Wed, 22 Nov 2023 15:27:12 +0000 I am absolutely convinced that the rapture is at the 6th seal (yes, I am preTrib! ). But this is not a pre-trib view, it is actually what is called a pre-wrath view. A pre-trib view believes the Church will be raptured before the first Seal is broken. The first Seal is the appearance of the Rider on the White Horse who conquers and is bent on conquering and is considered by many to be the Antichrist. That has not happened yet. The second Seal is the Red Horse, war breaking out all over the globe. Peace is taken away. While there is war currently going on, there has always been war except for about 200 years of human history so what we are currently seeing is not a ringer for the second Seal. There is still peace in many places even though we are seeing a great rise in unrest around the globe. The third Seal is Black Horse and that is death from famine cause by war. The fourth Seal is the Pale Horse where a quarter of the worlds population is killed by war, famine, and wild beasts. That has not happened either. The seven Seals and seven Trumpets all take place before the midpoint of the tribulation. After the Abomination the Great Tribulation begins and God's wrath is poured out. It will be the worst time in human history. But none of this has happened yet because the first Seal has not been broken yet. The Rider on the White Horse has not taken the world stage yet. Given that the Book of Revelation never mentions the Church again just prior to the opening of the first Seal we here at Rita believe the Church will be raptured before any of the judgments begin.]]> Main Forum Yohanan https://raptureintheairnow.com/community/main-forum/psalm-83-then-into-ezekiel-38/paged/3/#post-51084
