Re: Parable of the wise and foolish virgins- Rapture of the Bride
the rapture that man made up, where we disappear and be taken by God is not from God

Enoch was taken by God and yet still walked the Earth, we need to give up our freewill everyday and become passer-by's

These are the only three places where rapture was mentioned, we all need to be more factual today and turn within - don't allow anyone outside of us to distract us all from the truth

Luke 1:67 Then his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied:
... saying, And Zechariah his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and spoke in a rapture of praise. His father, Zacharias, was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied ...

 Quoting: ~metanoia~

The term Rapture is derived from the latin 'rapio' and isn't manmade but rather scriptural. This snatching away has happened in the past to various people and is noted directly, cross-referenced, and alluded to many times Biblically in the Old and New Testaments.

Regarding these last days, it's a promise to rescue the bride of Christ from the coming judgment that will take place in what will be the worst 7 years on earth in the existence of mankind as Jesus' body of believers are not appointed to wrath and yet another declaration from God (because Jesus' body of believers are one in Christ and Jesus has already taken the wrath of God for mankind on the cross).

The dead also too must be resurrected in the Rapture to be awarded for their good works while on earth in the form of heavenly rewards, put on the incorruptible to attend the Marriage Supper of the Lamb and so that they may be able to enter into Christ's earthly millennial reign which begins after His Second Coming. The Rapture(s) are multi-faceted in purpose and timing.

The translations you use above are not from God but rather man which may be why you're confused.
 Quoting: Seek^


what does the Lamb mean to you?

where will the bride of Christ be?

where will the bride of Christ be rescued from?

is the judgement external or internal or is it different for each of us?

what is your definition of Rapture?

Re: Parable of the wise and foolish virgins- Rapture of the Bride
Interesting thoughts. I just don't know where you get the rapture (if you believe pre-trib/mid-trib etc) from. It certainly is not in any bible I have read. It's pretty clear and obvious that 3 destinies await God's people in Revelations. Live by the sword and die by the sword, Taken into captivity for 10 days and killed, and the greater exodus into the wilderness. I call on you to research this and test it to prove it wrong or right. It's your duty since people are producing posts like this and you could likely be leading them astray on what is about to occur and affect them. If all these people think a rapture is going to rescue them then they will not be planning at all for what is to arrive. All through the bible God talks about the commonwealth of Israel. About bringing the 12 tribes together at the end. There is no church in the bible. Only Israel. God is the God of Israel. We all belong to Israel.

Today only Judah is back in the land of Israel. Where are the other tribes? Where are the other tribes that God promises to send out into the wilderness and return to him?

Remember there is no such thing as the church in the bible. Not in Hebrew and not in Greek. There is only Israel/gathering/assembly. (The modern church today is just one part of Babylon and has not replaced Israel - teaching nothing of God's commandments but a soft gospel that suits the people's ears).

God promises an even greater Exodus to come where people will not remember the previous exodus anymore for how great this final time exodus is.

Jeremiah 16:11-21 (KJV)
(11) Then shalt thou say unto them, Because your fathers have forsaken me, saith the LORD, and have walked after other gods, and have served them, and have worshipped them, and have forsaken me, and have not kept my law; (12) And ye have done worse than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the imagination of his evil heart, that they may not hearken unto me: (13) Therefore will I cast you out of this land into a land that ye know not, neither ye nor your fathers; and there shall ye serve other gods day and night; where I will not shew you favour. (14) Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be said, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; (15) But, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers.

Test all things I beg you! Test them to know if what I say to you is true or false! I am sure you will quickly discover there is no such thing is a tribulation rapture to escape what is to come. Only an exodus for a few who keep God's commandments and the testimony of the Messiah. After all, this is exactly who Satan goes after once he is thrown down from heaven.

Revelations 12:17 - So the dragon (Satan) was enraged with the woman (Israel), and went off to make war with the rest of her children (12 tribes), who keep the commandments of God (Sabbath, feasts, Torah, 10 commandments) and hold to the testimony of Jesus. (notice how specific that verse is? he goes after the ones who have Yeshua the messiah and follow the commandments of God - Torah and the feasts). Very few people on earth do that! 99% of Christianity today do not follow God's commandments. They come out of the catholic church and her daughters that stemmed out of her such as Anglican, Protestant, Baptist etc.

Also to add - Revelations is a mirror image of Exodus. Same plagues and the same patterns. Revelations is the Exodus on STERIODS. Did God rapture his people out of Egypt in the 1st exodus? No, he didn't. God is cyclical, he uses patterns. Revelations will be in line with Exodus. You must desire and plan for an exodus into the wilderness otherwise there are only two other destinies that await you. Live by the sword and die by the sword and taken into captivity and killed after 10 days.

 Quoting: ~metanoia~


The constant theme in the bible is the commonwealth of Israel. The breaking apart and then eventually returning back together again under the millennial reign of the Messiah Yeshua. In revelations, God judges his house first before the world, and then the destinies take place of Sword, Captivity or Wilderness for his people.

The problem is most Christians today do not realise their true identity as Israel to be joined back with Judah. So they accept and follow babylonian teachings that have come directly out of Catholic/Anglican/Protestant/Baptist churches. If these people only turn back to the commandments of God and respect his sabbath, feast days and laws then a great blessing would fall upon them.

 Quoting: ~metanoia~

What does the Lamb mean to me? Everything. Without Him, I have nothing and my future is nothing. He gives me purpose, He gives me hope, He gives me perspective and understanding of things. He gives me ultimate peace and I rest in Him knowing He loves me so very much even when I was lost and in filth and sin. When I put my head down at night, I rest peacefully because of Him. My anxiety has diminished because of Him. He has severed all chains that have bound me my entire life and has freed me. He bought me from the devil by His blood and what He endured for me at no cost to me but because of His love for me. He had me specifically in His mind as He was tortured and bore all the sin of mankind on His shoulders as He hung on the cross.

He’s my best friend and He’s never turned His back on me even when I turned my back on Him. I know I can always talk to Him in prayer. I know I can always count on Him. I know He won’t ever leave me, there is no greater peace than Jesus, He loves us all so much regardless of our pasts. I don’t know how people live life without Him honestly, it’s a mystery to me. My life was nothing but pain, worry, anxiety, regret, sickness, and unfulfillment before I gave my life to Him and gave up the vanity of this fallen world.

Where will the bride of Christ be?

In Heaven for the Marriage Supper of the Lamb which will be the greatest party ever thrown in existence hosted by none other than the Father for His precious Son Jesus Christ and all are still invited as that first seal is yet to be opened.


Where will the bride of Christ be rescued from?

The bride will be rescued from the worst 7 years on earth since the creation of man.



Is the judgement external or internal or is it different for each of us?

There are earthly judgments such as Noah’s flood, the plagues of Egypt, and the soon 7-year Tribulation and there are two judgments people will face upon the exiting of their earthly bodies which are the Judgment Seat of Christ and the Great White Throne Judgment.

The Judgment Seat of Christ is for believers and they stand before Jesus and at this judgment, they are given their heavenly rewards. Because these believers are in Christ, their past sins are forever blotted out and forgotten because through faith, they are no longer under condemnation. At this judgment, a person’s sins will never be brought up as God has forgotten them.

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Romans 8:1

And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
Hebrews 10:17




At the Judgment Seat of Christ, honest and true works from the heart will be tried by fire in regards to all works from a person for God and the furthering of His kingdom and whatever survives this heavenly testing of Fire, rewards will be given.

Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
1 Corinthians 3:13-15



Those at the Judgment Seat of Christ are of the First Resurrection.

Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
Revelation 20:6




Conversely, The Great White Throne Judgment is the second death alluded to above in Rev 20:6 as those who stand in this judgment (which takes place at the end of Christ’s millennial reign) will be cast into the Lake of Fire along with the devil and the fallen angels. All who’ve died unsaved throughout history who are in hell waiting will be resurrected and will stand before Christ at the Great White Throne Seat of Christ and will be judged for their sins without the covering of Christ’s blood which was an atoning for their sin. Because they did not have Christ and died, they are judged by the Law.





What is my definition of Rapture?

It is the resurrection of the physical bodies (regardless of state of decay) who have died in Christ on earth and are in Heaven with God and the reuniting with these physical bodies with their spiritual soul so that they put on heavenly bodies which are distinguished Biblically as incorruptible meaning they never break down nor diminish in any capacity. These heavenly bodies will be similar to the body of Jesus after His resurrection.


People alive when the Rapture takes place on earth will experience something extremely unique and rare that only a couple people ever have experienced (such as Enoch and Elijah) where their bodies will be taken up and changed in an instant and they will never in turn taste death. Those alive on earth and taken in the Rapture will never experience death. Paul talked about these people in the Rapture below-

O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Re: Parable of the wise and foolish virgins- Rapture of the Bride
There will be not a single person, again, not one single human being ever in the future who will stand before God and tell Him He is unfair in His judgment.

Every single person who stands before God will know He is just because the gift He’s given is completely free and is for all and that gift is His son Jesus Christ. Jesus is the only one who can save us, no one else. Every single person who stands before God will also realize in person His overwhelming presence of pure holiness and power and realize how precious the gift was that He offered and how easy it was to receive but it will be too late for many people throughout history from pride alone.

Those who accept God’s gift are blessed with peace that surpasses all understanding in a fallen world full to the brink of evil and are given eternal security through salvation in Christ.

No one will ever call God unfair because He is not, He’s given a free ticket back to Him through His son to make you new, make you clean in His sight, and to allow you entrance into His kingdom to be with Him.


Thank the Father for loving us so much that He sent His son to die for us. How much more will He judge those who refuse His precious gift?

Thank Jesus for stepping off His eternal throne next to the Father and taking on the task to come in the flesh and cover our sins through a sinless life in the flesh and a humiliating and beyond tortuous death on the cross.


And thank the Holy Spirit who is our counsel and who dwells in us and teaches us and leads us on the right path through belief in Christ. Without the Holy Spirit, without His presence in us, we would never make it into Heaven.

Re: Parable of the wise and foolish virgins- Rapture of the Bride
Actually, what was being taught was to plan for the future, so when "Opportunity Knocks" you are well prepared and ready to take advantage of the opportunity in front of you.

The kingdome of heaven does not mean you just get to sit back claim Christ is king and then do nothing to prepare. You are useless if you know nothing and can't spread the good word.

Over all in life Christ will work through you to be a good example unto others. If you are sloppy and not perepared you rwill miss out on all sorts of opportunities where you could be uuseful, gloridied, and even made wealthy.

So know what you want in life and be prepared for your goal for when those good thing happen you can take advantage of the opportunity in front of you.

 Quoting: Seek^


I disagree. Not evey one that says lord lord have we not served you will enter into the kingdome of God. Fiath without works is dead. Prime example was the two thieves on the cross with Jesus. One theif believed Christ was the son of god and taunted jesus to get them down off the cross to prove himself. The other realized that he was wrong and only asked ot be remembered. The other did not even recognize Christ as the sone of God. So there was zero faith that Christ claim was true. However, Christ ignored the Thief that mocked him and told the other that he would be in heaven.
The difference being te one thief that humbled himself was taking self responsibility for ones own action and repenting. He was not needy, complaining, nor challenging God to prove himself. How many Christians today do you know that pray demanding answers and action for their faith to feel blessed and favored by the lord? Yet take no personal responsiblity when when they messed up. Instead thinking all I need to do is believe in the lord as the son of God and Iam saved from eternal damnation. You know, the fair weather Christains.

Again in the parable of the good Semartian , we see this theme again. The good semartian did nto worship God nor eJesus. Yet did that good work anyways. Rwice now I have shown you two examples where peopel didn't believe in God and yet were consider better than the more pios person claiming ot serve and worship the lord.

Which means .... Atheist might just be able to make it in to heaven after all. God does not care so much about being worhipped by by people tht believe in him, but more that people respect his creation. Love thy nieghbore, as they self. Do unto others, as you would have done unto you is the whole of the law. And be ready and prepared to help yourself when opportunity comes. So you can serve the greater good later.

Again God / Jesus is not nearly as concerned about you being recognizing Fod and worshipping him, has god is more concerend you take care of one another and the planet. That was our first commandment after all from the very begiining. To be good stowards.

Anyone that teaches you differnt is someone that just wants to control you in their twisted hiarchie.

Thank Jesus for stepping off His eternal throne next to the Father and taking on the task to come in the flesh and cover our sins through a sinless life in the flesh and a humiliating and beyond tortuous death on the cross.


And thank the Holy Spirit who is our counsel and who dwells in us and teaches us and leads us on the right path through belief in Christ. Without the Holy Spirit, without His presence in us, we would never make it into Heaven.
 Quoting: Seek^


I disagree. Not evey one that says lord lord have we not served you will enter into the kingdome of God. Fiath without works is dead. Prime example was the two thieves on the cross with Jesus. One theif believed Christ was the son of god and taunted jesus to get them down off the cross to prove himself. The other realized that he was wrong and only asked ot be remembered. The other did not even recognize Christ as the sone of God. So there was zero faith that Christ claim was true. However, Christ ignored the Thief that mocked him and told the other that he would be in heaven.
The difference being te one thief that humbled himself was taking self responsibility for ones own action and repenting. He was not needy, complaining, nor challenging God to prove himself. How many Christians today do you know that pray demanding answers and action for their faith to feel blessed and favored by the lord? Yet take no personal responsiblity when when they messed up. Instead thinking all I need to do is believe in the lord as the son of God and Iam saved from eternal damnation. You know, the fair weather Christains.

Again in the parable of the good Semartian , we see this theme again. The good semartian did nto worship God nor eJesus. Yet did that good work anyways. Rwice now I have shown you two examples where peopel didn't believe in God and yet were consider better than the more pios person claiming ot serve and worship the lord.

Which means .... Atheist might just be able to make it in to heaven after all. God does not care so much about being worhipped by by people tht believe in him, but more that people respect his creation. Love thy nieghbore, as they self. Do unto others, as you would have done unto you is the whole of the law. And be ready and prepared to help yourself when opportunity comes. So you can serve the greater good later.

Again God / Jesus is not nearly as concerned about you being recognizing Fod and worshipping him, has god is more concerend you take care of one another and the planet. That was our first commandment after all from the very begiining. To be good stowards.

Anyone that teaches you differnt is someone that just wants to control you in their twisted hiarchie.
 Quoting: God Fearing Atheist

It all revolves back to the heart and only God knows the heart. What you've championed for above is a works-based attempt by a person for salvation and those who attempt this say aloud in God's eyes that what Jesus did on the cross wasn't enough. This is why Jesus will tell some who claim they cast out demons and did mighty works in His name to depart from Him for their hearts were never genuine. Again, only God knows a person's heart and their motives.

Faith without works is dead but regarding your atheist assumption above, without faith it is impossible to please God and without faith in Jesus Christ, there is no amount of works a person can perform that will allow them entrance into Heaven. One must have faith in Christ before God can move on a person's life through the Holy Spirit. Once a person truly believes on Jesus Christ, they receive the Holy Spirit. Without faith in Christ, God's wrath remains on that individual and they do not have the Holy Spirit within them. If they die in this state, they are eternally separated from God.

You will know an individual by their fruits. Works done by a person who embodies the Holy Spirit are done out of the fruits of the spirit (love, joy, patience, kindness, gentleness, goodness, self-control, faithfulness, peace) because God dwells within them meaning the spirit is working through them and their fruits are clearly visible to all. This is the testimony of God working through a person by way of their conduct and how they choose to live their lives. These people are who God refers to as the light of the world.

People who live by the spirit do good works because their fruits are of the spirit. A person with spiritual discernment (a gift from the Holy Spirit) can easily identify a person with good or bad fruits as a bad tree cannot bear good fruit and vice versa and you will know them by their fruits.

You Will Know Them by Their Fruits

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way.

2 Thessalonians 2:6


The Holy Spirit is ‘He’ as we know the Holy Spirit is an individual and is referred to as He or Him several times in scripture. We also know that the Holy Spirit is God dwelling within the person who is sealed.

But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.

John 16:7

The Holy Spirit is ‘He’ that is referred to above which is the restrainer and the removal of Christ’s bride in which He indwells fully will bring on a darkness that has never before been seen that will envelop the entire earth and God’s judgment will commence.

Those is Christ are called the light of the world and their removal will bring on what God calls the worst 7 years in human history on earth.

Give your life to Christ and Escape.

Re: Parable of the wise and foolish virgins- Rapture of the Bride
What was Jesus conveying with the parable of the wise and foolish virgins and what exactly was He warning us about?


“Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept.

“And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’ Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’ And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut.

“Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’

“Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.

Matthew 25: 1-13

Nice thread! I really quite never understood that parable. Going to those who sell and purchase oil. It just occured to me the other day that buying oil might just be talking about the tribulation saints having to die to get to the altar. They literally pay with their lives.

It's kinda creepy the 5 wise saying, now you have to go get beheaded,see ya later.

I think it's right. It totally makes sense to me.

WE HAVE JUST BEEN OFFICIALLY NOTIFIED THAT THE SPICES ARE BEING COLLECTED

FOR THE WEDDING

BETWEEN THE BRIDEGROOM AND THE BRIDE

Revelation 19:7-9:

"Let us rejoice and be glad
and give him glory!
For the wedding of the Lamb has come,
and his bride has made herself ready.
Fine linen, bright and clean,
was given her to wear.”

Then the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!” And he added, “These are the true words of God.”

There will be a joyous celebration where God's people are united with Him in a divine union.

The bride is the believers or followers of Christ. The Lamb refers to Jesus Christ himself.

Re: Parable of the wise and foolish virgins- Rapture of the Bride
There are two camps: those that make the rapture synonymous with salvation and those that don't. People of the second camp that heed scriptural warnings from Jesus are often attacked as being proponents of works-based salvation which isn't the case.

Rather, this second group realizes Jesus gave us very specific warnings in scripture to heed in order to be counted worthy to escape and so that we may be filled with the Holy Spirit upon His arrival. Those without oil which is the Holy Spirit will not be taken.
 Quoting: Seek^


A Christian is born of the Spirit , a person can’t be born again without the in dwelling of the Spirit.

You are a false teacher , one who thinks salvation comes thru works with a belief in the Rapture.

Certainly NOT a pre-trib rapture.

.

Christians have been dying of tribulation for 2000 years. Yet somehow, End Times Believers are apparently 'more worthy' to escapte Tribulation than all those who already died.

Talk about the mother of all Entitlements.

Jesus never promised to save people from Tribulation. He Saves people from Judgement.

Jesus said "I will come for you" but did NOT remove any of them as a group, nor did He save them from great tribulation of being killed.

Does Jesus love Pre-Trib believers more than Stephen? He saw Jesus in Heaven just before he died. Jesus 'came for Stephen'.

Just before Stephen died of stoning, he saw a vision of Jesus sitting at the Father's Right Hand.

Did Jesus not "come for him"?

How many people on their death bed claim to see angels or even Jesus?

...

Paul said...

Acts 14:22 Confirming the souls of the disciples,
and exhorting them to continue in the faith,

and that we must through much tribulation

enter into the kingdom of God.



The word "tribulation" occurs 22 times in 22 verses in the KJV.

.

Tribulation isn't Wrath, and the 'End Times' Tribulation isn't Wrath either.

Think about it.

For the last 2000 years, Christians have died from...

1. Violent persecution

2. Violent storms

3. Wars

4. Famine

5. Plagues

6. Earthquakes

7. Car accidents, diseases, tainted water etc...

NONE of these things were God's 'wrath' - yet they are all the same types of things in the first few Seals in Revelation.

Tribulation isn't wrath folks.

NONE of those people who died were Raptured.

Jesus hates everyone who wont believe with a hate sooo deep and dark that burning you alive for a billion years wont sate his dark hate and revenge on you for daring to ask question and do the ultimate sin of thinking.

He will torture you in screaming pain for untold eons upon eons, and when at last he finally relents after a trillion trillion years he will let you out for ten seconds...and realise that he just cant forgive you and toss you back in screaming his dark hate at you and telling you that his revenge and etrnal sadism has only just begun.

But dont feel bad...you wont be alone...he will be doing exactly the same thing to trillions.
Mothers..fathers..brothers..sisters..grandparents..matters not to him.

He hates families and cant wait to burn entire bloodlines in the fires of his insatiable sadistic revenge.

His mercies are new every morning and his love never fails..and he loves you.

Re: Parable of the wise and foolish virgins- Rapture of the Bride
5 things that will happen BEFORE Jesus returns and the Rapture happens. The Last Trump is obviously the END of Tribulation.

1. Abomination of Desolation

Daniel 12:11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

Matthew 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

.

2 & 3. The Last Trump / Resurrection

1 Corinthians 15

51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

52 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.

53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.


.

4 & 5. The Fallimg Away and the son of perdition is revealed.

2 Thessalonians 2

1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

Yep, they reject the grace offered in Jesus through the free gift of the Holy Spirit which makes them righteous through faith during the present age of grace so they will be forced to pay with their physical lives during the Tribulation.

them, and they stood upon their feet;
and great fear fell upon them which saw
them.

Christ returns at the Seventh / Last Trump


Revelation 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and
there were great voices in heaven, saying,
The kingdoms of this world are become
THE KINGDOMS OF OUR LORD, AND OF HIS
Christ; and he shall reign for ever and
EVER.

2 verses later the First Resurrection happens just as Revelation 20 says.


Revelation 11:18 And the nations were angry, and thy
wrath is come, and the time of the dead,
that they should be judged, and that
thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants

the prophets, and to the saints, and
them that fear thy name, small and great;
and shouldest destroy them which destroy
the earth.


.

Revelation 20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not
again until the thousand years were fin-
ished. This is the first resurrection.

Paul said the Rapture happens AFTER the Resurrection

1 Corinthians 15

51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

52 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.

53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.


.

1 Thessalonians 4

16 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:

Re: Parable of the wise and foolish virgins- Rapture of the Bride
What was Jesus conveying with the parable of the wise and foolish virgins and what exactly was He warning us about?


“Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept.

“And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’ Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’ And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut.

“Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’

“Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.

Matthew 25: 1-13

This parable pertains to those who are baptized, and discipline themselves towards sin, and those who do not. Those who cease sinning fill themselves with the spirit, while those who sin are lukewarm.
