As per the body of Christ yes, there is ONE BODY, Jews ad Gentiles.
CORRECT !!
Both Jews and Gentiles are in Heaven waiting to be married unto the Lamb.
These Jews accept Christ as their Messiah, but remember, God married then way back, so since the Rapture was about the Jews and Gentiles in Christ going to be with the Lord in Heaven, these Jews who repented after the Rapture will stay on earth as THE WHEAT who continue with the TARES until Jesus returns, thus I see these as the Bride of God, He gave them a bill of divorcement because of their sins, He told of a 70 Week Judgment against Israel, thus once she has REPENTED, God becomes her Husband again !! So the 1/3 will be the Bride of God along with the Saints of old like Daniel, Abraham etc. erc. etc., Jesus {man in linen Dan. 12}told Daniel he would be raised up and stand in his lot at the VERY END !! Remember, Jacob had 2 Brides, Leah and Rachel, one was forced on him, one was desired !!
All of the Dead IN CHRIST are raised at the Rapture, along with those Christians in Christ who are still alive when Jesus calls them home. The Saints of Old {Jewish Saints} wll be raised up when Jesus Returns to Save the Jews on Mt. Zion.
Good question, really !! Excellent.
Those dead and alive in Christ will shed our FLESH BODY when he calls us home, our flesh can not enter Heaven, we will go to Heaven as Spirit men, then receive our Glorious bodies and White Robes which is probably one and the same thing. Those who die during the Tribulation will be raised up and Judged in Revelation 20:4, they are said to have not given in to the temptation to serve the BEAST !! So they laid down their lives instead, THESE.....ONLY THESE......Will live and reign on earth {with Glorious bodies} with Jesus Christ for 1000 years. I assume the rest of us go to the New Jerusalem ad help to get it ready to descend in 1000 years, thus it is called the Bride as it descends.
All those who lived through the Tribulation, including the 1/3 of the Jews will still have mortal flesh bodies and SIN NATURE, but they will not SIN WILFULLY because the tempter will be locked in the bottomless pit, in other words there will be sins of omission, but people will not wilfully go to a inappropriate content shop, or be a drunkard on purpose etc. etc. Men will live as they did for the previous 6000 years, but there will be no Murders, no Rape, no Hate, no Wars etc. etc. and this will do what ? It will testify to Satan's GUILT !! Without him on earth, mankind lived in peace inder Christ, with him at the helm mankind were barbarians to each other.
The rapture and the second coming of Christ – What's the difference?
Those who hold to the view of a rapture that is separate from the second coming of Christ emphasize the many apparent differences listed between these two events. Those who believe both events refer to one return of Christ attempt to reconcile their differences to prove Jesus will only return one time at the end of the tribulation period. A look at the key differences helps to clarify these concerns.
At the rapture, believers will meet Christ in the air (
1 Thessalonians 4:17). At the second coming, believers return with the Lord to the earth (
Revelation 19:14).
A second difference is that the rapture is an any-moment event (
1 Thessalonians 5:2). The second coming will clearly take place at the end of a seven year tribulation (
Revelation 19).
A third difference is that believers will be removed from the earth in the rapture before it is judged (
1 Thessalonians 4:13-17;
5:9). At the second coming, unbelievers will experience judgment (
Matthew 24:40-41).
A fourth difference is that the rapture will be instant and secret (
1 Corinthians 15:50-55). The second coming will be visible to all (
Matthew 24:29-31).
A fifth difference is that the rapture can take place at any moment (
1 Corinthians 15:50-55). The second coming will take place after many other clear end-time events (
Revelation 6—19).
These differences are of great importance. If the rapture can take place at any moment, then believers are urged to live holy lives with a sense of urgency to share Christ with other people.
In addition, an any-moment rapture shows that God will rescue His people prior to His judgments upon the earth. This perspective resembles the pattern of God rescuing Noah and his family in the ark prior to His judgment of the earth by a flood.
Another argument to support a pre tribulation rapture is that the tribulation period described in
Revelation 6—19 does not once mention the church. The most likely explanation for this omission is that believers have already been rescued from this time of judgment through the rapture.
Both events are important, yet distinct events. When Christ returns at the rapture, He will come in the air to take His people to be with Him. When He comes at the second coming, He will return in judgment and defeat the Antichrist and those with him.
