Do you think Rapture will happen in our lifetime?
For the Rapture to occur, must the dead be resurrected first?
- KJV: But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection (after ббб: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ ..)
2) For Rapture eternal* resurrection required ( KJV: For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise First: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord... In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last Trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed..)
3) Resurrection of the dead is required for the Rapture First, only then can the Rapture occur. The First Resurrection can only happen after the Mark ббб of the Beast.
*"Eternal - after this specific resurrection, humans do not die anymore, like before."
