I am an avid student of eschatology, the study of the end times, and I am looking for the signs in the skies for Jesus' return. Interestingly, next year will be 120th jubilee year that the Jewish people will be celebrating, and we know that His return is near. One hundred and twenty times 50 (50 years is one jubilee year) is 6,000yrs. So, the next 1,000 years following will be the reign of Christ, the Peace Millennium that all born again believers and followers of Christ are devotedly waiting for.
With that said, we read in scriptures that all resurrections, including Jesus' was witnessed by people. In the same manner that Jesus rose, so will those who have gone to "sleep". They will have business to do such as the people who were raised after /Christ's crucifixion, entered into the Holy City to worship. So I was corrected in my spirit, that it is not the rapture that will take place first, but instead we will see our departed rise first. So do not be caught unaware, we must have an answer ready, and not be surprised when we see this.Both events may take place shortly after each other, but the dead in Christ will rise first. The dead will be raised imperishable, and will walk in public. Matthew 27:51-53, 1 Thessalonians 4 vs, 14-17. First Corinthians 15 speaks of us who are alive even-so, in the same manner as Jesus rose, will be changed and transformed and caught up in the air....will be snatched and carried away. Perhaps God's chariots will take us away, Psalm 68 vs 17.
International Standard Version 1 Thessalonians 4:13
"But we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, about those who have died, so that you may not grieve like other people who have no hope".
The dead rise first. Deborah may be knocking on our door any day.
