    The rapture, the term is a transliteration from the Latin for caugth up. The Greek word meaning "we shall be caught up." 1 Thessalonians 4:17. Verses 15, 16 teaches that the rapture will not take place before the resurrection of believers. Now the millennium refers to the thousand year rule of the resurrected believers before the end of our known universe and the resurrection and judgment of the rest of mankind, Revelation 20:4-12, 15.
    . . . the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; . . . -- Romans 1:16 KJV

    . . . that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: . . . -- 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 KJV

    Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: . . . -- 1 John 5:1 KJV

      I don't see that it's really necessary to make such a distinction between the "dead in Christ" being raised up, and those of us who remain being caught up.... It's not like it's two totally separate events. I think it might be more fitting to say that the rapture will commence with the "dead in Christ" being resurrected, and continues with the rest of us.

      I keep a towel within arms reach when I'm in the shower just in case it happens then.
      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

            For the sarcastically impaired the following is said in jest

            Obviously it would be "PJB before the Mandela Effect" not "PJBBTME"

            PJB. Sort of like FBI. CIA. Or several other short "acronyms"

                      the emojis are case sensitive. They're usually all lower case. Most phones auto capitalize for some reason.

                          The problem is, the code is not :Cerebrum123: as the emoji's page would suggest... it's just (brum)

                                You should also keep a window open so you don't get stuck on the ceiling.
