Can you show us where in the text it is written that Rev.20:4 will happen seven years after the events in 1 Thess.4:16 ?First of all, Jesus showed John in Rev.20:4 the tribulation martyrs, seven years after the events in 1 Thess.4:16,
-1 Thessalonians 4:15 make it clear that 1 Thessalonians 4:16 IS TIED TO THE COMING OF THE LORD NOT 7 YEARS BEFORE...
1 Thessalonians 4:15
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are ALIVE AND REMAIN unto THE COMING of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
Now if you look at the meaning of the word REMAIN
continue to exist, especially after other similar or related people or things have ceased to exist.
That is clearly talking about SURVIVORS BELIEVERS which prove that 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 is tied to the Coming of Jesus IN THE CLOUDS AFTER the tribulation mentioned in Matthew 24:29-31
We will be FOREVER with Jesus in His Kingdom that will be ESTABLISHED HERE ON THE EARTH At His Coming.That is the reason why Jesus will descend from Heaven....
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
