Grey Whiskers, as regards your comment, “I wonder when the same angels tasked with the destruction of the cities on the plain are going to show up...”, all I can think is that those angels are already too late.
Quix, let me ask, for I am not an expert...Perhaps the Rapture isn’t quite as biblically literal as so many believe it to be. Maybe the Lord has all along been taking the unborn babies home, and left the rest of us behind, and we are already in the times of Tribulation. Just look around.
No.That’s not the way I read the relevant Scriptures, at all.
I can’t agree with that interpretation at all.
Certainly I believe that God has all the aborted etc. babies.
HOwever, the CATCHING AWAY is very vividly and relatively clearly described. I can’t imagine it being anything but literal AS DESCRIBED.
Now WHEN is a whole different level of puzzle.
Now precisely what MEET HIM IN THE AIR means is quite open to conjecture and speculation. However, I’m convinced that we shall DO SO and in instantly transformed RESURRECTION BODIES.
Yikes.
(How many people lived in Sodom? Ten righteous out of that number corresponds to how many out of 320,000,000?)
