Job 14
12 So man lies down and does not rise.
Until the heavens are no longer,
He will not awake nor be aroused out of his sleep.
13 "Oh that You would hide me in Sheol,
That You would conceal me until Your wrath returns to You,
That You would set a limit for me and remember me!
14 "If a man dies, will he live again?
All the days of my struggle I will wait
Until my change comes.
So the ressurection doesnt happen until the heavens are no more. WOAH
Any scriptures from the NT about my change or ressurection?
see 1cor 15:50-1thess 4
mt 24
35 "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.
36 "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.
37 "For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah.
The ressurection doesnt happen until he comes back and raises us the last day.-When the heavens are no-more.
2pet 3
10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up.
What kind of person should we be, as we look to this day like Peter did?
2thess 1
6 For after all it is only just for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you,
7 and to give relief to you who are afflicted and to us as well when the Lord Jesus will be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire,
8 dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.
9 These will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power,
10 when He comes to be glorified in His saints on that day, and to be marveled at among all who have believedfor our testimony to you was believed.
Once again we have Eternal destruction, but the very same day we have our glorified ressurected body.Not only are the Heavens no more but they who have rejected the gospel have lost the chance in this age of grace through the preaching of the gospel to the whole world.
The end has most certainly come.
Is there any chance we can precede to the Lord before the heavens are no more,?;
15
.For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep.
16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
17 Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord.
18 Therefore comfort one another with these words
No, the ressurection must happen first and the unity of the scriptures- JOB---JESUS- PETER --PAUL----- suggests that this will happen when the heavens be no more.
So any talk of being gathered or raptured away to the lord before the heavens dissappear is unscriptual.
I will raise you the last day.
How can you define a last day, how will you know it is the last day?
Easy, the heavens will be no more.
