Historic Premillennialism vs Amillennialism

[sovereigngrace]

The "rapture" is the first resurrection .... there is no "secrete rapture" ... personally I don't like or use the term. There are two resurrections.

You seem incapable of addressing all rebuttals to your theological theories above. Why is that?

 

[eleos1954]

The "first resurrection" in the prophetic (Rev 1:3) riddle (Nu 12:6-8) of Rev 20 is from eternal death into eternal life in the new birth.

In the apostolic teaching of Christ (Lk 10:16), there is only one resurrection of physical bodies, at the end of time, at the second coming, immediately before the rapture.

Jesus locates the resurrection in the last day (Jn 6:39),
Paul locates the resurrection with the rapture (1 Th 4:16),
Jesus locates the rapture with the second coming (Mt 24:39-41),
Jesus locates the second coming with the judgment of the sheep and goats at the end of time (Mt 25:31-33).

Paul locates the second coming, the resurrection and the catching up of the saints together at the end of time (1 Th 4:16-17).

We get new bodies ... nothing "physical" about someone who was completely incinerated for one reason or another.

When Jesus returns the 1st resurrection and the destruction of those left on earth happens simultaneously,

If you are calling the1st resurrection the rapture then ok .... there is NO secret rapture ... personally I don't use the word rapture because the bible doesn't use it.

Judgement(judgement of the sheep and goats) takes place in heaven before Jesus return

Paul also states the catching up meet Jesus in the air.

Stop avoiding!

• Who is "the first that should rise" in Acts 26:23?
• Who is "the firstborn from the dead" in Colossians 1:18?
• Who is "the firstfruits of them that slept" in 1 Corinthians 15:20?
• Who is "first begotten of the dead" in Revelation 1:5?

When you establish this it will help you establish Revelation 20:6 - that is if you believe in letting Scripture interpret Scripture (as Amils do).
