The Church is raptured for the glory, to take their places in the heavens as sons of God and pillars in His temple not made with hands. The Gentile peoples [the redeemed] are the "last" to be "chosen", but the "first" to be "received", as a people.
So the first elect are the namesake people of the New Man name, and they will be last -to enter into the glory as sons of God, and the last elect will be first in the harvest of sons of God for the glory, so as to "plant the heavens" as the "temple not made with hands, for the Glory to indwell", and to rule over earth [if judged worthy], with the Watcher angels, watching with them for the next harvest of sons of God, and on, and on, and on.
So many people get their doctrines not from the teaching of the Torah and the prophets, but from imaginations of men who think God changed His mind and plan. That is not so. There has always been only one plan, and one way, from the beginning.
God teaches by the Law what His plan is, and that plan is to have sons for the glory to indwell, and to fellowship with forever, who will have dominion over the restored earth, as Adam was first given it.
Earth will go on forever and forever, restored to what God first created it to be in the beginning, but restored and elementally regenerated into the New heavens and new earth, where righteousness only, dwells, and sin is put away forever -and those who practice and love a lie are cast into the blackness of darkness forever.
The first type God gave for the sons of God being restored to Eden above, which is where Paradise is, is in the transforming of Enoch, before the flood, when he walked with God and was not, for God "raptured" him. The Hebrew word transliterated is "laqach" and means "to marry, to take, to go get, to fetch, to remove from one place to another, " etc. "Laqach" is the same as the New Testament "caught up".
Enoch's own testimony is that he went to dwell with the Watcher angels in Eden above, and to rule with them over earth.
That is a type of the rapture of the Church, in that Enoch is ruling with the Watchers and that is where the raptured Church will be -but not all will have rule, though there is a place and a position for each son of God in His "House".
In the Law, the garments of the high priest in Israel and the garments of his sons type the garment of salvation that one must put on to enter into the presence of the Glory, in. They are only the types to type the garment of the regenerated flesh body, glorified with the glory of the indwelling "Life -YHWH", that one must be dressed in so as to enter into that presence of the Glory on high.
Even with the types, the priests in Israel could only rehearse the Day the Atonement would be fulfilled, when the way would be opened to go into the presence of Glory above.
When the Atonement was accepted in heaven above, the goat hair covering which the entrance to the Holies was covered with was ripped in two, from the top to the bottom, as a sign that the way was now open for the sons to go in.
But we do not go in, physically, in these Adam flesh garments, so as to be priests standing before His glory in His temple in heaven, doing His will. We have to be dressed in the garments of heavenly priesthood, which are the garments of New Man flesh and the Glory in that flesh, that the sons put on at the rapture.
When we are born anew, by His Spirit, then we are seated with Christ by that Spirit and, in Him, we are the one New Man [and the One Church in which His Spirit dwells].
We have a place in heaven by His Spirit, but we wait for the adoption of the body, which is when we graduate, physically, to the same place Adam was cast down from and out of, in the fall, which is to Mount Eden, in the third heaven which is stretched out from earth, and is where Paradise is.
Did you know that the Word of God says that Paradise is in the third heaven, and that the heavens were stretched out from this earth, between the divided in two waters of this globe, on day two of creation?
Adam was set as son of God, in Eden, in Paradise, in the third heaven; and that heaven is stretched out from earth.
Adam was to rule and have dominion over earth and multiply the seed in his loins to be living stones to build an eternal temple made for the glory to indwell, and to "Plant the heavens" by those sons....but, then....
Adam was "divorced" in the fall, when he was driven out from Paradise in Eden and cast down to earth below, to never enter into Paradise again, so as to not eat of the tree of Life and live forever in the defiled state, which would then only be fit for the Lake of Fire, and so, then, not be able to be regenerated in the flesh of his earthly clay made body, into the image of the New Man, and be restored as the son of God in heaven, and having dominion over earth and "married" to the One Living Spirit by being one with Him, adopted in His name.
Did you know that in the proper season, that heaven and earth will be regenerated elementally, in a flash, just like the bodies of the raptured dead and living redeemed sons of God will be?
The earth will then go on forever with the plan God made Adam for in the beginning, but not in the name of Adam, the dead, defiled, divorced, cut off, former son of God, but in the name of the New Man: that name is "Israel"..
Everything given to the namesake people to rehearse until it was all fulfilled was about the Person and work of the Son of God, the Kinsman/Redeemer, God come in flesh. But God has blinded the eyes of His namesake people, except for a few, until the first harvest comes, which is called "the rapture of the Church"; then their eyes will be opened as they go through the most horrid time on earth ever -which will never be repeated.
But the Church will not be here, then, for we will have "graduated" and will rule and reign with Christ as "the last who are first". -But don't boast about it, for they will be last, and their future is glorious on earth, and in heaven, for they get it both.
Earth will go on for a thousand generations at least, promised in the Word, and the generation intended for the Adam creation was one thousand years, pr soul, for multiplying of the seed [the living stones, which would be sons of God for the temple "not made with hands"], before their "graduation to the glory" day.
By the Atonement for our soul, the Kinsman/Redeemer has cleansed our souls and put away the sin before His face which Adam is guilty of, and He has opened the way back, into His presence of Glory, to be made new and dwell in heaven above, with free coming out and going in, forever.
Being adopted by His One Living Spirit, He then is our "Everlasting Father" as to His New Man flesh body which is the Foundation Stone for the second temple "not made with hands for the Glory to indwell" and the "Firstborn of all creation", and the "God of the whole earth".
This earth is young, and God's plan is just beginning to be fulfilled for His temple, which is His City, Zion of the heavenlies which is to be built in the New Man name, because the old man died, was divorced, and never can go back in, in the Adam name.
Receiving His New Man name of the adoption, we are then, in His name, the "one new man", and His "brethren, sons; wife; sister; mother" -but there is only One Father.
He invites us all to be made clean and be ready to put on the New Garments of Salvation, for His Glory to indwell, which is the regenerated flesh made new, and enter into His presence on high and stand before Him in His temple as priests in His name, to have the dominion over earth which Adam lost, and He ransomed, and will grant to us the rule over it, with Him, forever and forever.
He's got a grand and glorious plan for building up of Zion, for the Glory, in the New Man name.
Israel was given all the signs for it, and soon, we will be going in, all dressed, and we will be "married" as the sons of God in heaven.
