But you are admitting that Reveation is silent on this so-called rapture resurrction separate from the resurrection of chapter 20.
And there is no rapture resurrection separate from the final resurrection in 1 Cor 15. That is plain from the reading:
"23 But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ's at His coming. 24 Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power." (1 Cor. 15)
There are folks who wish to insert something like 1007 years between "those who are Christ's at His coming" and "then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father", but such an insertion of time is clearly unwarranted from the text and context. At the resurrection of the saint is th end, followed immediately by judgment and glorification/damnation.
There is only one future coming of Jesus Christ, that which the Church commonly calls the "second coming". All Christ's saints are resurrected at the same time at the second coming.
It isn't clearly stated because Jesus already said "no man knows the time and the hour --- only His Heavenly Father". So how would John know.
However he did know that those who died as martyrs during the Tribulation would be resurrected after it was all over but before the 1000 years begins.
And there is no rapture resurrection separate from the final resurrection in 1 Cor 15. That is plain from the reading:
As long as you fit Thessalonians in there as well, right???
"23 But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ's at His coming. 24 Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power." (1 Cor. 15)
There are folks who wish to insert something like 1007 years between "those who are Christ's at His coming" and "then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father"
The 1000 years comes after he delivers the kingdom. It won't take Him 1000 years to put down the rebellion and make the delivery.
At the resurrection of the saint is th end, followed immediately by judgment and glorification/damnation.
You forgot the 1000 years --- it's clearly stated 6 different times so it can't be ignored.
There is only one future coming of Jesus Christ, that which the Church commonly calls the "second coming". All Christ's saints are resurrected at the same time at the second coming.
Remember these words above: "But each one in his own order" ---- therefore not all at exactly the same time, but in their own order between His coming and the start of the millenium.
