Hi 2ndcoming,

Christians who are living today CAN also become the tribulation saints of Rev 20:4, if Christ's 2nd coming is right at the end, & not 7 years earlier. So there's no issue there. I can quote Rev 20:4 to support my view as well.

However, you will have a problem with your eschatology, if you split Christ's 2nd coming into 2 events which are 7 years apart.

In your order :

1/ Christ the firstfruit, which has been fulfilled in 32 AD.

I agree. Christ went up first.

2/ They that are Christ’s at his coming. “They” are the old and new testament saints, both are waiting for their resurrected body at Christ’s coming which is rapture.

So my question to you is, when do the tribulation saints get their resurrected bodies, based on your chronology?

And which Christ's coming are you referring to, if there's only ONE EVENT of the 2nd coming?

You pointed me to 1 Cor, but it only shows 2 orders. Not 3. Read carefully :

v 23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.

Verse 23 is pretty clear that there are only 2 orders. Not 3.

The 2 orders are :

1) Christ (2000 years ago)
2) AFTERWARD They that belong to Christ.

That's it!

No where does it say Christ, followed by church age believers & then followed by those who died in the 7 years tribulation.

You yourself said 'They = OT + NT saints'. So which category do the trib saints fall under? NT + 7 years? A 3rd category?

Do Raymond, this is your question: "So my question to you is, when do the tribulation saints get their resurrected bodies, based on your chronology?"

I have already stated in my post. Here's the answer for you.

3/ Then come the end, which is the end of tribulation when Jesus returns with us to earth. John saw this resurrection of tribulation saints and wrote it down in Revelation 20. This the third and the final resurrection in the three phases of "First Resurrection".
