Tammie, was that Jan Markell you are referring to? I should have mentioned her as I really like her. She is no nonsense and hits right between the eyes! Geri7 - you said "..And when the entire church gets caught up … are we all going to be watching the events as they unfold during the entire tribulation period or is the Judgment Seat, Crown ceremony, Wedding Ceremony, etc. all going to occur before the seals are broken to kick off the tribulation? Then wouldn’t that mean there is a small gap in time from the rapture to when the tribulation officially starts?" I've thought that once we get raptured, we are in the wedding chamber for the full tribulation and we won't be seeing all that is going on because of this verse. I may be wrong though. ISAIAH 26:20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee; hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be past. NFJF - good verse! What I ponder though is ... in Revelation 5 we are watching as The Lion of the Tribe of Judah (JESUS) as He opens the seals and then there is a praise ceremony. Then in Revelation 8:1 ”And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.” This has me pondering if we are aware of what is happening on the earth? No doubt we shall be witness to God's dealings with men, albeit from a balcony seat. That we might glory in God's power, wisdom and glory. He has been and will forever be "just"! TR Perhaps at the wedding banquet hall ... the Lord will have mega flat screen tv’s everywhere showing what’s happening on earth? And with our glorified bodies ... our minds will understand it all and it won’t affect us seeing the destruction as it unfolds? :unsure:
