What? The basis of the pre-trib rapture view is that the church is gone before the first trumpet.The church is presented to God before the 7th seal is opened, and no one teaches or accepts that fact. The 1st trumpet cannot sound, until the 7th seal is opened. There is no more church on earth, at the first trumpet. No one accepts that.
They are not dead, their bodies will have been translated into everlasting bodies - there are no remains left on earth.The dead in Christ and the living in Christ are both in the temple of God, before the 7th seal. They all have been physically changed and in glorified bodies. That is why I say all are dead in this harvest. All on earth will die and be harvested.
The remains of Christians who have died in the past will be resurrected and reconstituted into the same everlasting bodies. At the time of the rapture, translation of the living.
John never mentions Paul's resurrection scenario one time in the book of Revelation, why?
Because John himself prefigured the rapture when he was called up to heaven in Revelation 4:1. And the rapture is accompanied by the resurrection of the dead. But since John was only one person and not dead, he could only represent the rapture.
