Am I understanding you correctly? You believe there are dead people in heaven?
well.. I see it as the elect get gathered to Him, with the raise dead believers from heaven...when He comesNo apologies needed for the whole rapture thing. It happens
From what the bible teaches, When Christ returns, He will retrieve His children and raise up the dead in Christ. Those who are alive that are wicked will be destroyed by the brightness of His coming. He than takes His children from all ages to the third heaven. There we spend 1k years enjoying heaven, while Satan is given a 1k year time-out down here on earth. Once that is over we return to the earth where God will, after destroying sin and sinners, create a new earth and give it to His children as an inheritance.
all that die go to heavenAm I understanding you correctly? You believe there are dead people in heaven?
They are very much dead. They will not however remain dead. Christ looks at the big picture, like post sin, way into eternity. As such He sees His servants as sleeping, and will soon wake them up to eternal life.They aren't dead. Christ has destroyed the power of death.
"Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death, and upon those in the tombs bestowing life." --Paschal troparion.
That may be how you see it, but the bible shows differently (no offense). The dead are raised from their graves and the righteous meet them in the air.well.. I see it as the elect get gathered to Him, with the raise dead believers from heaven...when He comes
they are gathered to Christ to Mt Zion on earth...
then the wrath is poured on the rest...
That will be the earth. Empty, void, just like it was in the beginning, and Satan will be stuck here. After all this time of activity, Satan will indeed be in jail when three is no one left to tempt.Satan is not roaming freely on earth in the 1000 years, but is in jail/pit for the Millennium.
Sadly the bible doesn't say that. Those who are alive are with Christ. Those who are not with Christ are destroyed by the brightness of his coming.the harlots (fooled virgins for Christ) populate the Millennium on earth and are ruled by the firstfruits...as are the rest of the population who was alive when He comes....
some of them get refined and saved in the Lord's Day
The bible gives absolutely no indication that that is so. Paul said that he knew a man who wen to the third heaven. He was talking about a physical place, not a period of time.the third heaven is an age, not a place...
and it is right here on earth after the 1000 years.
this earth abides forever
Wake up! you sleepy heads.....They are very much dead. They will not however remain dead. Christ looks at the big picture, like post sin, way into eternity.
As such He sees His servants as sleeping, and will soon wake them up to eternal life.
all that die go to heaven
either a happy place or a not so happy place
but all are in heaven
believers that die in the flesh
go to the happy place in heaven
where they wait
until it is time for them to come back here
with Christ at His Coming.
when they do come back here with Christ,
at the last trump
they will be raised to life again on earth, as promised.
ressurected immortal
the rest of the dead must wait till after the Millennium to live again...
for the final judgement
For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
Will his feet actually touch the ground in the second coming?
Where in the Gospel does it say that?
my apologies if I gave you that impression.so they are dead in heaven and don't come back to life until they come back to earth??? Can you back this up with scripture?
And that would be the one shown in Luke 21, 2 Tim and Reve 12:10 and BEFORE that 1000yr period?That was the gospel message Jesus preached.
You know, the comming Kingdom of God ?
I dont even understand the rapture, so, I am content with knowing that Jesus is coming again.
My hubby caught me away though, so if it is a truth, then I look forward
I believe Jesus will "physically" come again. It is written that every eye will see Him (believers and non-believers) and i believe this means He is coming "physically", but as He is NOW. It will be a "terrible" sight for the non-believers, for there will be NO place to hide.
