No more righteous people will die after the resurrection of the just.
Rev. 20 is just informing us what groups John sees taking seats to reign
with Christ.
Just as if you saw an long ago group you became a member of years
and years ago. You might say - this is the scout troop. That doesn't
mean anyone right then is joining the group.
The resurrection of the just happens in Rev. 19 after the great harlot
city is avenged. This harlot city kills the martyrs of Jesus Christ during
the great tribulation.
Once new outfits are given in Rev. 19, no more dead people will get
eternal life - righteousness outfits.
What did happen is those in those already given outfits leave heaven
to come to earth. But only one group goes to the battle. Rev. 14 shows
the trib martyrs will rest from their labors. They do not fight at Armageddon.
But they will take their seats to reign with Him after Satan is bound for
1000 years.

saints - put on righteousness /Rev. 19 as the wife
return as armies out of heaven
Notice plural - armies.
The saints make up armies.
But - only one of those armies heads to Armageddon/end of Rev. 19 battle.
as being - His army
The Rev. 14 martyrs will rest - as they already won victory over the beast.

They show up again when it is time to take seats to reign with Jesus
Christ.

they sat - those from the army - that heads to the battle
They will now gain victory over the beast.

They will be joined by those that rested from their labors -the
other army of saints that came out of heaven in Rev. 19.

The great tribulation and its martyrs - under the beast time - are
over before the 6th seal ends.
The resurrection of the just (first resurrection) contains all of the righteous, including with the dead in Christ, the living elect (chosen), and also all of the martyrs (lukewarm) who will be killed during the hour of trial or temptation (Rev. 3:10-11, 13:7).

The blood moon will appear (sixth seal) as the sign of the end of the age (Day of the Lord/second coming/Armageddon). The blood moon will also be seen on the Feast of Tabernacles, which is not the same as the moon in Matt. 24:29-31. The first sliver of the new moon will signal the beginning of the feast of trumpets (8 or 9 days before Day of Atonement, depending on which day the moon appears).

Thanks to all you who are participating.
The ingathering of Pentecost is the time of the Feast of weeks, which is fifty days after the First of Firstfruits is offered.
The First of Firstfruits of the spring harvests were to be offered in the temple mid-morning on the first day of the week after Passover.
The tenth of an ephah was harvested and the grain was prepared to be the wave offering mid-morning, on the first day of the week, in the temple.
Jesus, serving in His office of High Priest of earth, was on the mission to ascend to the heavenly temple with that offering of the raised from the dead saints, who came out of their graves as He raised them with Himself, being perfected in cleansed souls, adopted/regenerated in spirit, and adopted/regenerated in flesh/body [the New Man body is the new garments donned by the sons of the High Priest who will serve in the temple, and those bodies are the made for "Glory" garments, as typed in Moses, in Leviticus 8].
They were "harvested" after the sunset on the Sabbath, on the twilight of the first day of the week after Passover. That is fulfilled forever.

When He told Mary not to "touch Him, for He had not yet ascended to the Father", He was not to touch -or be touched- by any unclean thing before He entered the temple in heaven to do the final accepted and true wave offering of the first of firstfruits, as Moses typed in the Law.
The Law is the schoolmaster to teach the doctrine of the Person and work of the Messiah.

The Firstfruits of spring harvests were planted in the fall, which would be harvested and ingathered in the spring.
The ingathering of Pentecost is the Rapture of the mainly -but not all- Gentile Church. The early "Church" was all Jewish, then Gentiles were joined in. Jews and Gentiles are raptured in the Feast of Weeks ingathering.

The unbelieving Jews were cut off, as branches on the Righteous Plant, and the believing Gentiles were grafted in with the remaining branches.

God blinded the eyes of the cut off branches of those unbelievers of the tribes of Israel, and scattered them. The age of the Church, which began on the Day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit, in the Person of the presence of His glory [sent in part], was sent from heaven to dwell in the believing Church -both in Jews and Gentiles.

Since the tribes were scattered, after some years, the Gospel has been committed to the mainly Gentile Church, but always there have been Jews who are as the first Jewish believers, who are in Christ by the promised to Abraham Spirit of Life, and await for the adoption of the body promised to Jacob with the name change, to that of the New Man, which name is "Israel".

Just as males do not become females nor do females become males when they are grafted as branches into the Righteous Plant of promise, even so, Jews do not become Gentiles nor do Gentiles become Jews when they come to the perfection of Spirit/regeneration in the Living Spirit, which was promised to Abram when YHWH gave His "Life/Breath" sign of the promise to AbraHam with the insertion of the "Hey" into his name.
Only the First of Firstfruits whom Christ raised with Himself have received both the promised Life of the promise to Abraham and the promised adoption body of flesh, which was signed and invoked over Jacob, as the promise of the regeneration of the flesh which was to come.

No one can boast against the Jews, for they have all the promises which Gentiles get to partake of by the Spirit of Grace, in this Gospel age of the Church; and if the unbelieving Jews can be cut off from the Righteous Plant -which right is theirs by faith in the natural birth into those promises given to Abraham and Jacob/Israel; then Gentiles who are grafted into the Plant by faith in the promises, and who have not yet received the adoption of the body and the New Name which Jesus will "write" on their elementally reformed DNA [The new name is "Israel" invoked over Jacob as the sign of the adoption of the body in regeneration of it, which was to come] have anything to boast of, for they, too, can be cut off for unbelief.


As to the ingathering of the first harvests: "...the Barley and wheat were planted in the autumn and ripened in spring. ... (Oded Borowski, Agriculture in Iron Age Israel, 1987, page 7).",,, -https://www.gci.org/law/festivals/harvest
The harvest of Pentecost is ongoing in this age of the Church, and when it is ingathered, the Church is gone from earth, and is in heaven in their New Garments for the Glory, and the priesthood of the heavenlies serving under the Firstborn Son, forever.
But the gleanings of the spring harvest are at the end of the seven year tribulation.
After that, the signs of the first harvests as Moses typed them are fulfilled, forever.
Then the fall harvest must come, and it has nothing to do with the Church, but with the plan God had from the beginning of creation, of building His Temple not made with hands for His Glory, so as to "Plant the heavens".
Israel will be restored by means of the worst trouble ever to come to her before that or ever after, and the firstfruits of the last harvest are seen in Revelation, occurring mid-trib, as the raptured to glory 144,000 of the twelve tribes of Israel are taken up without dying, but changed, before the last harvest is even all ingathered, for it overtakes, it as the prophet declares.

Armageddon is not in the time of the 6th seal.
Rev. 7 is ahead of the 6th seal with the great tribulation happening
during it.

The day of the Lord is the day the church is to be blameless to and
then later the 7th seal will be opened and it is followed by the events
from the little open book that John ate.

4th seal/time of Rev. 7 four corners
5th seal -
all martyrs for Christ the Lord get white robes
and sleep till the two witnesses and any other trib martyrs
are slain by the beast. Those people too get white robes.
6th seal -
trib ends

the destruction by God begins/7th trumpet

the day of the Lord
time of Babylon begins to howl - for her troubles will come upon her

7th seal opens
time of silence
Isaiah 18 shows
that God will consider in His dwelling place after
the harvest.
He will later send out the same set of seven angels that John
has seen now several times - (sealing angels/trumpet angels)
and they
will pour out His wrath in full measure. After this is done,
God will remember Babylon's sins again and the seven vials
will be refilled - with the
seven last plagues. This will lead to the
return of the saints - as shown in Zechariah chapter 14 for Armageddon.
Israel will return to her land - and dwell safely, then there will be a great
tumult - and the 1000 years rules will be for those that survive the
tumult.

the nations that are left
Blood moon is a sign that (precedes) day of the Lord, Armageddon, second coming.

It appears that you believe Revelation is in chronological order? There are earthquakes associated with the 7th seal, 7th trumpet and 7th vial, so there's the possibility that all may end simultaneously, though they don't all begin simultaneously?

Revelation aside, the resurrection begins at Dan. 12:2 and Matt. 24:31. Second coming/Armageddon begins at Matt. 25:31.

1 Timothy 6:16
...

John 5 never shows any saints getting up during the partial people raised time as to life in themselves from God.

...
Hi,
Jesus did nothing that was not typed by Moses, in the Law, about his Person and work.
the resurrection of the bodies of those who came out of their graves after His resurrection who went into the city and appeared to many was to fulfill the law/oracle/sign of the harvest of "First of Firstfruits", as typed by Moses.
When the sun set at the end of the seventh day sabbath, at twilight, the LORD Jesus rose from the dead and, according to the Law of the First of Firstfruits, raised those perfected in spirit and body saints who, with Himself, fulfilled the "gathered first of firstfruits" to be offered mid-morning in the Temple, before the Glory, on the first, first day of the week after Passover: for that reason, Jesus told Mary not to touch Him, for He had not yet ascended to the Father. That ascension was to ascend to the temple in heaven and as High Priest of earth [according to the everliving Patriarchal order, with Himself as the Firstborn and Everlasting Father and High Priest forever of earth], to offer the wave offering of the First of Firstfruits before the Father of Glory in the heavenly temple.

Matthew 27:
51 Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split,
52 and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;

53 and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many.

From post #4
The rapture is typed in the Law and promised in Genesis 3:15, and spoken of in the book of Enoch, as before the tribulation, in chapter 50.
Isaiah spoke of it in Isaiah 26:19-21, and also many other of the prophets, but Moses gave the details of the how and who, in the Law, as it was given to him to write for the namesake people of the New Man name, to rehearse until all is fulfilled.
Though the Atonement is finished and the Way is open into the presence of the Glory on high, dwelling in heaven's temple, only Christ and those saints He raised with Himself in the perfected bodies, cleansed in their souls, perfected in spirit as those First of Firstfruits, are physically in heaven with Christ, who is Firstborn of earth and High Priest and who has fulfilled the Day of Atonement completely.
There are three stages to the first harvest of the sons of God from earth:

1 the gathering of the First of Firstfruits and their presentation of them as the wave offering, before the Glory, in the temple in heaven -Fulfilled!

2 the "coming soon" pretribulation ingathering of the harvest of Pentecost, which is the resurrection of the dead and the translation of the living in Christ, and their rapture to heaven, as perfected, adopted sons of the Firstborn of earth, the High Priest and Everlasting Father of it
3 the gleanings of that first harvest/resurrection of the bodies of the martyrs of tribulation.

People that were saints and arose after Jesus Christ did were
not given life in themselves that it takes to then have eternal life
bodies.

the rest - at His coming

John 5 is clear that only Jesus /the Son was given
life in Himself.

"Christ the firstfruits"

"afterward they that are Christ's at his coming"
The Life Jesus has in Himself, He gives to those adopted sons of His, when they are perfected in body because of His cleansing of the sin that separated us from the Glory on high, and adopting us into His One Living Spirit, and then, at the time of the perfection/adoption/regeneration of the body, taking us unto Himself, to be with Him where He is -and we will never die.
That was what Adam had, and lost, and what Jesus came as Firstborn of the New Creation to redeem us back, for, and take us to heaven, for, which is where Adam was taken when he was created and given dominion over the creation, to rule from there and have free going back and forth between Paradise, the Mount of God in the third heaven, and earth below.
Those First of Firstfruits included the many whom Jesus raised from the dead with Himself, so as to fulfill the Law; and they came out of their graves and walked about the city and were seen by many, and they were seen until He ascended on high, taking them with Him.
They are alive and serving Him above, in heaven, and serving as the First of Firstfruits in Him; and the rest of His adopted sons will follow at the rapture, before the tribulation, as Psalm 75:2,3, and Psalm 50 [in the Hebrew] are clear to say.



He raised the First of Firstfruits with Himself, and they came out of their graves at twilight on the First, First day of the week after Passover. They walked about the city and were seen of many. They could not ascend until mid-morning, as the Law signed, when they were to be taken into the temple and offered as a wave offering, there, before the Glory.

Vinsight:
No one will ever have life in themselves but YHWH and the three Persons in YHWH:
To be born again into the One Living Spirit is to have His Life in you, by being adopted into that Living Spirit, and then being one in Christ, with Him, who is One Spirit with the Father..

When we are born again into that One Living Spirit we are then His adopted sons, and He promises the regeneration of our garments that are defiled, which is the body of flesh.
Enoch got his new garments as the first adopted son of Christ, who was to come in flesh as the Everlasting Father of the New Creation of human beings and the Foundation Stone "Laid in Zion" upon which His adopted sons were to be built up as the second temple not made with hands, for the Glory to indwell.

The New temple not made with hands is the second creation human being race, all of whom are then the adopted sons of the Firstborn and Everlasting Father and our intercessor with the Father..
He adopts out of the Adam creation race, and His adopted sons will receive the "New Name", "Israel", written on their DNA which is regenerated from the atomically dissolved elements of the old man, the "Adam".
Enoch was the first adopted son of Christ, the Living Spirit/God the Word, and who who was to come in human flesh as the Firstborn Son according to the New Creation.
Enoch is raised up and in his immortal robes that will never fade or grow old [the regenerated human body] but Enoch is raised in the name of the dead husbandman, Adam, of the Barren Widow, [spiritualized as Zion above, from Genesis 3:15 to Revelation 21]. This is the doctrine of the second husband of the barren widow, and Enoch is that first son of Christ adopted out of Adam but with the Adam name, so the inheritance is not lost, according to the Torah.


Adam is the name of the first temple not made with hands for the Glory to indwell, and who was given dominion over the creation below, and who was set in Eden above to reign over his dominion, and who had free access in and out of the third heaven where Paradise is, to earth below; until his garments [the flesh body] were irrevocably defiled.
The garments defiled which are made of earth clay can never be cleansed, as the Torah teaches, but must be elementally dissolved and reformed into a new vessel. That is why there is a New Man creation [God come in flesh as Firstborn Son of that New creation], with a New Name, "Israel".[Genesis 5:2, Isaiah 49, Isaiah 59].
But according to the Torah teaching of the second husband to a barren widow, Jerusalem above has a "New Foundation Stone laid" for building up of that temple not made with hands, "For the Glory", with a new name, but the first son of that second husband who was the "Seed yet in the barn" [heaven is the barn, in Haggai 2] and who is the Living Spirit and who was to come in flesh, adopted Enoch out of the Adam seed that was dead in spirit, and raised Enoch up in the dead husband's name, "Adam", before the flood. Enoch is in his garments that will never fade away, or die.
This is the teaching of the Law, on the inheritance [earth], and the second husband [Christ in flesh] of the barren Widow [Zion above].
Everything is in the Torah on the doctrine of the fall and the redemption of the dead seed of the Adam and the ransom of the earth [the inheritance], back, by the Redeemer/Kinsman.
Isaiah 59 teaches us about YHWH coming in flesh as second Man, as Redeemer/Kinsman, to bring forth justice for the earth.
His adopted sons go up to the third heaven, in glorified bodies to rule and reign with Him forever....
Enoch is already there, in Eden, ruling with the Watcher angels, as Enoch said.

the two witnesses - in a story being told to John

Rev. 11:11
"And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from
God entered into them..."

Romans 8:11

"But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell
in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth
in you."

Galatians 6:8
"For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap
corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the
Spirit reap life everlasting."
The man showing John the things to come is Enoch, I believe, for he is a human being like John, and a fellow prophet with John, and he is one of the "messengers"
who come out of the temple in heaven with one of the bowls of wrath to pour out on the earth in the tribulation.
Enoch was transformed and went to dwell with the Watcher angels in Eden, to rule with them.
Enoch has already been given the life gift from God the Word, and that before the flood, as I explained in a prior post, so as to fulfill the Law of the firstborn son of the second husband of the barren widow, being raised in the deceased husband's name, so that the inheritance is not lost.
Before Christ even came in flesh, He adopted Enoch and transformed his flesh, but not in the New Man name. Enoch is adopted but has the old man name, so that the inheritance of the deceased husband is not lost.
This is the lesson of the Law and redemption of the inheritance of a dead husband to a barren widow who marries a second husband...
The widow is Mount Zion above, spiritualized as a woman from Genesis to Revelation, and in Haggai 2, the Holy Seed of that Jerusalem above is the Stone Laid in Zion [the incarnation of God the Word] for building up of the Temple not made with hands for the Glory to indwell....
Enoch is a type of the raptured Church, and he is not the only human already in heaven above in their transformed bodies, for the 24 elders seated with crowns of life have already entered heaven when we see them in chapter 4 of revelation, before the tribulation; which is, I think, the view of the First of Firstfruits raised by the LORD, with Himself, in their transformed bodies at His resurrection, who came out of their graves and were seen of many, walking about the city. They were taken to heaven mid-morning of the First of Firstfruits day to fulfill that oracle, and they are the wave offering of earth's first of firstfruits that Christ, their Everlasting Father and High Priest of Earth according to the everliving Patriarchal order, offered in the temple in heaven to fulfill that oracle.
They are alive, and we see at least 24 of them with the crowns of Life.
Enoch read the tablets written in heaven for the angels to read [as he said], and was shown everything that was to come, and those tablets are the " Scripture of Truth" as he said in Daniel in chapter 10:21, as you can see by the original Hebrew of that verse. -I believe Enoch is that one who showed Daniel the things to come which Daniel wrote for us in chapter 11,12, and the "messenger" with the bowl of wrath who showed John the things to come, in Revelation, and who said he as a brethren of John and a fellow prophet.
Rev 4:4 And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.

All those questions are God's business, people. Your business is the proclamation of his Gospel, per the sermon in Acts 13 about Israel's destiny.

One indication of the speciousness of such "prophecy studies" is people doing someone else's job...

You think Enoch went off to go battle the prince of Persia?
The heavenly prince of Persia, yes. He said so.
In the book of Enoch, in his dream visions given to him in parables and esp in totemic imagery, he is given the history of the creation from the beginning to the end of the millennial Sabbath. There are 70 heavenly princes/shepherds/rulers set over the nations [because there were 70 tribes from whom the earth was scattered by the original confounded -from the one mother tongue- 70 tongues], and the shepherds have gone rogue, in many instances, and will be removed when Jeus returns to set up His kingdom and replaced with those from the raptured Saints who are judged worthy to be ruling there, with the holy Watchers, over earth.
The principalities and powers in the heavens are told of in that book of Enoch; so when the messenger comes to Daniel in chapter 10, he tells him he was sent to give him the answer, but the Prince of Persia withstood him 21 days, and Michael, who is set over Israel as the heavenly Watcher, came to assist him, and they held [bound/restricted] the heavenly prince of Persia to what the Scripture of Truth has already written in it.

In the dream visions, the 70 shepherds always wanted to go beyond what was written, and they sometimes did, and they will be judged for it, as Enoch shows, for every deed they do is recorded and sealed in the books which will be opened by the Lamb, in which books every soul the 70 watchers had under their care, in every nation, and the deeds done to them beyond what the LORD of Glory assigned to them to do, in judgment, is written, esp what they did to the namesake people, Israel, in the years of their first and second dispersion among the 70 nations of the 70 shepherds of the heavenly order -it's all in the parables of the dream visions in the Book of Enoch.

So the judgment in the tribulation is to the wicked shepherds in the heavens, first, when they are removed and "the pillars are reset" [Psalm 75:2,3, in the Hebrew].. God warns them in Psalm 82, in the original Hebrew, that they must do righteousness over the earth, else they will "die like Adam, the one prince", who once walked among them in the "Stones of Fire" [Ezekiel 28] [= living fire pillars of the living temple in heaven, in which the Glory dwells], and who was created as "Adam, son of God", [Luke 3:38] before the fall, when he was cast out of Eden and down to the earth below and forbidden to ever enter Paradise again so as to not eat .... and could no more come into the assembly in heaven as a son of God.


The original language of Daniel 10:21 says: "...I will show you what is inscribed [written, noted] in the Scripture of Truth and one binds with me in these things, Michael, your Prince/Ruler/Judge/ Holy Watcher [set over the nation of Israel]. The Scriptures of Truth are the tablets written in heaven which Enoch read, but which were written for the angels to know the things that will happen to the sons of Adam from the beginning to the end of this present creation, as they are set over it to be holy Watchers; Daniel wrote, then, in chapter 11 and 12, the things Enoch showed him from the Scripture of Truth written in heaven concerning his people, Israel.

There will be war in the heavens after the Church is raptured, and those who are judged worthy to rule will also rule with the Holy Watchers, which is where Enoch is already, serving in the temple in heaven as a transformed human being adopted out of Adam, but in the name of Adam, and serving there.
He comes out of the temple in Revelation with a bowl of wrath to pour out on the earth in the tribulation, and he tells John that he is a brethren -a human being, and a fellow prophet.
I do not believe it is possible to understand Daniel or Isaiah or Revelation without also having read and corroborated the Book of Enoch with them, which book is canon in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church.

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.

The Church, that is to say, those who are alive and remain, will be Raptured along with the Resurrected ones, as one event.

17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 1 Thessalonians 4:17

The Resurrection of the dead in Christ comes a moment before the Rapture, whereby all those who are His will be gathered together to be with Him.

The Resurrection and Rapture are one event.

The Resurrection and Rapture are]one event....]
I posted the passage from the Scriptures that show the event happens at the blast of the two heavenly trumpets, twice, together, typed in Numbers 10:1-7 : it is typed in the Living Oracles, as I also posted in that post. The first blast is both trumpets together and the elders are "called to gather together at the temple door" =the dead in Christ; : immediately without stopping, the trumpets staccato the second blast of the two together to also call the entire congregation to gather together before YHWH, at His temple door.
Look at the post and the Scriptures I posted on that event

Numbers 10 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps.
3 And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
4 And if they blow but with one trumpet/=one trump]/B], then the princes, which are heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee.
