Based upon the timeline above; No matter which term you choose to use, you cannot refuse the resurrection of the righteous in their own order!

I just want to bring to your attention some miscellaneous points concerning the catching away of the Church BEFORE the tribulation:

REVELATION 1:19

*Write the things which thou hast seen (1:12-20)

- Jesus conquering death, Hell, & grave; He’s the righteous

- judge

*and the things which are (2:1-3:22)

-The Church Age, The Time of the Gentiles

*and the things which shall be hereafter (4:1-22:5)

-Daniel’s 70^th week, Romans 11:25 blindness in part is

happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

The Rapture of “The Church” happens before DANIEL’S 70^th Week!

Rev 4:1

After this I looked, and, behold, a door(Compare: Matt 25:10;Matt 24:33;Mark 13:29;Num 10:3) was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet (Compare: 1Corin 15:51-53; 1 Thess 4:17-18) talking with me; which said, Come up hither, (TYPE of RAPTURE) and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.(After What? After the churches!!! AFTER the AGE of the CHURCH. THEN God turns His attention BACK towards ISRAEL)

The snatching up of “The Church” happens before the Judgment of the Tribulation!

Rev 5:7-9

7 And He came and took the book out of the right hand of Him that sat upon the throne.

8 And when He had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders (Any Bible Scholar will agree this is 12 from the Old Covenant/the 12 sons of Jacob-Israel & 12 from the New Covenant/the apostles of the Lamb-according to Matt. 19:28 & Luke 22:30 If the O.T. saints were resurrected in Matt27:52-53, they’re in heaven already. The 12 Apostles are considered “the dead IN CHRIST”, and are yet to be resurrected!!! In Revelation chapter 5 the other 12 are in heaven by now which means 1 Thessalonians 4:17-18 “THE CATCHING AWAY OF THE CHURCH, THE RAPTURE happens BEFORE THE JUDGMENT OF THE TRIBULATION BEGINS!!!) fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.

9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; (Believer’s/Christians, not just natural Jews)

The Rapture of “The Church” happens before the WRATH of GOD wrapped up in the 7 year Tribulation!

When we read through the book of Revelation we see when the 144,000 are “resurrected/caught up/ raptured” OUT of here!

We see when the 2 Witnesses are “resurrected/caught up/ raptured” OUT of here!

But WHEN do you read about “The Church” being "resurrected/caught up/ raptured" OUT of here! HOW & WHEN do they get in Heaven (1 Thes 4:17)??? IT’S FOUND in Revelation 4:1 “After this (After God is finished working through and dealing with the Churches)I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither(Same GREEK word used for the 144,000 and the 2 witnesses, meaning "resurrected/caught up/ raptured"

and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.

The Blessed Hope, “The Rapture of The Church” happens before the Judgment of the Tribulation begins!

When “Revelation” was written, there was well over 30 churches established- One in particular was the church at Jerusalem! But in Revelation chapters 2 & 3 there are only 7 pointed out by Jesus! Comparing them we can draw many similarities, but ONE to take note and focus on is that they were all GENTILE CHURCHES!!!

The Apostle John IS CURRENTLY “The dead IN CHRIST”!!!! John is part of the New Testament Church, both JEWS & GENTILES!!! He’s the representative as part of “The Church” found in Revelation 4:1 “COME UP HITHER”!!!

The HOPE of the Believer, “The Rapture of The Church” happens before the Judgment of the Tribulation!

If “The Church” goes through The 7 year Tribulation; WHAT IS THE PURPOSE? A typical response is: “To purge the Church!” What? WAIT A MINUTE, I thought we were purged by the Blood of Jesus!!! God doesn’t need The 7 year Tribulation “To Purge us!” What about “the dead IN Christ MEMBERS, body of the church? Shall they be resurrected because they NEED to go through the Tribulation because they need to be purged? How RIDICULOUS!!! God CHASTISES “The Church”, but He reserves HIS WRATH for HIS ENEMIES!!! (The Tribulation)

The Resurrection of “The Church” happens before the punishment of the Tribulation!

God SEALS the 144,000 AND the 2 Witnesses FROM what comes upon the earth but allows THE CHURCH TO SUFFER IT does NOT make any kind of sense!!!

Daniel 11:41 Edom, Moab and Ammon, a group of heathen that DON’T even have A COVENANT with GOD ESCAPE the antichrist, but God allows THE CHURCH TO SUFFER IT does NOT make any kind of sense!!!

WHAT IS “Mid-Trib” & “Post-Trib” Denomination Doctrines ACCUSSING God of???

The Rapture of “The Church” will happen before the Judgment of the Tribulation!

Let’s say hypothec ally speaking “the Church” goes through the Tribulation… It breaks all the patterns of God in Firstfruits and sealing of the righteous…

Preachers that teach the Church will go through the Tribulation say that “other Christians around the are suffering, bless God we must suffer, the church must suffer!!”

#1. Preachers in America need recognize that the Church in America IS NOT the representative of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ! Yes there are Christians here, but America is just another gentile nation! It is not God’s chosen representative of the Church.

#2. Patterns of the sealing of the righteous: *Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego; *Daniel; *Ezekiel chapter 9; The 144,000 (Wait a minute, God seals the 144,000 from the plagues of the Tribulation Judgments but lets the Church suffer through it; something wrong with that theology, it does not equal the character and nature of God!

IT’s BEFORE the WRATH of the Tribulation!

The book of Revelation is predominately Jewish we don’t hear any more about “the Church” after Revelation 4. God’s face turn back to the Nation of Israel according to Romans 11:25, “blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in”, then you start hearing about the 144,000 JEWS, the Temple, the patterns of the Jewish Feasts, etc.
