Food For Thought
You haven't yet posted any scripture that says God will take the Church to heaven. So I don't need to.
Jesus said such an idea was impossible. Not just once but over 5 times. End of story.
The irrefutable evidence is that only after the GWT, will death be no more. Revelation 21:4, paralleled by 1 Corinthians 15:54b-55
Right; He won't protect those who stand helplessly, not knowing what to do, faint with terror as the celestial powers are shaken....Luke 21:25-26 wondering why God has forsaken them, as they remain stuck on earth..... We are told to call upon His Name and I have a list of 20+ verses saying that He will protect His own, not remove them.
Not the Jewish usurpers of the name; Israel, but the Israel of God, His faithful Christians, God's Overcomers, everyone who freely believe in Him now. Ezekiel 34:11-16, Jeremiah 12:14, Romans 9:26
I could post a dozen + prophesies saying that Judah will be punished and only a remnant will survive, That remnant will join their Christian brethren. The have had their chance over the last 2000 years; no change in their rejection of Jesus, excepting for a few thousand Messianic Jews.
The promises to ancient Israel, now pertain to the Christian peoples. Ephesians 3:6
So do you think the Jews will reinstitute the sacrificial under Mosaic Law? Not likely!
Amos 9:9, Ezekiel 11:14-16, John 10:16 are a few that come to mind; there is plenty of other evidence, scriptural and secular.
Sadly, if they continue to reject the Son of God, they will die. Isaiah 22:14, Ezekiel 21:4, Zephaniah 1:18, Luke 19:27
When did the Lord send fire?
But it is; proved by ...the rest of her offspring, those who keep the Commandments and witness to Jesus.
You need to get the rapture nonsense out of your head and see the truth of what God actually does plan for His people.
Keras,
1. It doesn't say that we are raptured up and put in the Holy City either.
