The resurrection occurs on the Last Day. Examples here
mind.
You and all who think they will be 'raptured' to heaven, fail to see how the Lord's people will go to live in all of the holy Land area, soon after His terrible Day of wrath has cleared that entire area. Ezekiel 34:11-16, Isaiah 35:1-10, +
We will not be a part of the One World Govt, or have to take the 'mark' in order to buy and sell. !44,000 of us will receive the mark of God.
Living in the holy Land in peace and prosperity as God has promised, WILL be like heaven!
Does anyone here realize that the resurrection and rapture to heaven happens at
the Harvest?...........
Most scholars agree Luke 21 is talking about 70AD Jerusalem.
Unlike Matt and Mar, Luk uses the singular word "
cloud"......
Why does Luke 21:27 use the singular "cloud" instead of "clouds"?
Luke 21:27
And
then they shall see the Son of Man coming in a cloud, with power and much glory; [Revelation 14]
Acts 1:9 And these saying, of them looking,
He was lifted-up and a cloud took-up Him from their sight
Revelation 14:
14And I saw, and behold! a white cloud, and
upon the cloud [one] sitting like to a son of man, having upon his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle;
15and
another messenger did come forth out of the sanctuary crying in a great Voice
to him who is sitting upon the cloud, ‘Send forth thy sickle and reap, because come to thee hath the hour of reaping, because ripe hath been the harvest of the earth;’
16and
he who is sitting upon the cloud did put forth his sickle upon the earth, and the earth was reaped.
Revelation 11:11
And after the three days and half days, a breath of life out of the God entered in them and they stand upon their feet and fear great fall upon the ones observing them.
12 And they hear a Voice great out of the Heaven saying to them "ascend ye here!"
And they ascended into the heaven in the cloud....
The rest are thrown into the Winepress of the wrath of God.......
17And
another messenger did come forth out of the Sanctuary in the heaven, having — he also — a sharp sickle,
18and
another messenger did come forth out from the altar, having authority over the fire, and he called with a great cry to him having the sharp sickle, saying, ‘Send forth thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, because come to perfection have her grapes;’
19and
the messenger did put forth his sickle to the earth, and did gather the vine of the earth, and did cast [it] to the great wine-press of
the wrath of God;
20and trodden was the wine-press
outside of the City, and blood did come forth out of the wine-press — unto the bridles of the horses, a thousand, six hundred furlongs.
===============================
This commentary describes the 2 major resurrections shown in Revelation...........Partial Preterist and Amills might enjoy this concerning Jerusalem, Josephus and the Jewish Wars......
Revelation 14 - The Grim Reaper
Witnesses to the Jewish War Mention a Seemingly Disembodied Voice that pleaded for repentance and warned of Impending Disaster. Were these the Angelic Warnings of vs. 6-11?
In vs. 6-11 three angels issue warnings to Babylon, which is Jerusalem, to repent. During the four years before the war began, Josephus says that Jesus the son of Ananus was never seen by anyone though his voice was often heard wailing, “Woe, woe to Jerusalem!”
3 Was this disembodied voice the voice that issued the warnings in vs. 6-11?

12This calls for patient endurance on the part of the saints who obey God’s commandments and remain faithful to Jesus. 13Then I heard a voice from heaven say, “Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.”
It is often supposed in Christian circles that the resurrection is a one-time event.
However, Revelation 20:4-6 explicitly mentions at least two major resurrections. The fact that there is more than one resurrection also appears to be implied in v. 13: “’Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.’ ‘Yes,’ says the Spirit, ‘they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.’” Each saint who dies after the first century resurrection appears to receive their heavenly resurrection body immediately after death without having to await their redemption in Sheol first. See the preterist commentary on
Revelation 7:15-17. Evidence of the fact that the events described in Revelation have already taken place is found in the testimony of thousands of people who have had near-death experiences. Many people who have suffered clinical death and have been successfully resuscitated describe a beautiful and glorious afterlife similar to the new Jerusalem of
Revelation 21 and
Revelation 22. These experiences would be surprising if the resurrection of the first fruits had not yet occurred.
The Fact that the Heavenly Beings in vs. 14-18 are holding Sickles hints at the Fact that the Events described above may have transpired during the Harvest Months.
The fact that the Son of Man and the angels in the above verses are all holding sickles hints at the fact that the events described above may have transpired during the harvest months. The major Jewish holidays coincided with the various harvests. Passover was during the barley harvest. Pentecost occurred during the wheat harvest, and the Feast of Tabernacles, during the grape harvest. The fact that Jesus and the angels from the Temple are holding sickles points to both the barley and wheat harvests. Both barley and wheat were harvested with a sickle. The barley harvest began around Passover, in the middle of Nisan. The wheat harvest began in Sivan around Pentecost. The grape harvest is also alluded to in v. 18. In Revelation 14:18 sickles are used by the angels to cut grape clusters from the vine. The fact that vs. 14-18 allude to both the grain and grape harvests implies that the heavenly events mentioned above took place sometime around Nisan at the start of the barley harvest and ended around Tishri during the grape harvest. The events of vs. 14-18 are also mentioned in Revelation 8:1-6 and Revelation 15:5-16:1. Not surprisingly, first century historians describe various supernatural events that seem to fulfill these verses during the months of the grain and grape harvests at the start of the Jewish War in A.D. 66. It, therefore, does not appear to be a coincidence that the Jews began their revolt against Rome during the barley harvest in A.D. 66, and the Roman offensive under Cestius began at the start of the grape harvest that same year. Thus it is not surprising that the Bible also refers to the end of the age as a harvest in Matthew 13:39: “The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.” See
Revelation 8: A Preterist Commentary and
Revelation 15: A Preterist Commentary.
