"BOTH JESUS AND PAUL SPEAK OF THE RESURRECTION/RAPTURE"



BOTH JESUS AND PAUL SPEAK OF THE RESURRECTION/RAPTURE PROPHECY............



BOTH the Lord Jesus and the Apostle Paul speak of the resurrection/rapture prophecy as the "gathering together" of "His elect" believers in the following Scriptures :

JESUS SPEAKS of the 'resurrection/rapture' in His Olivet Discourse as follows:

Matthew 24:31

"And HE SHALL send His angels with a great sound of A TRUMPET, and they shall GATHER TOGETHER HIS ELECT from the four winds, and from one end of heaven to the other."

Notice that the "gathering together " of “His elect" includes BOTH those who are ON EARTH as well as those who are IN HEAVEN. That happens ONLY at the resurrection /rapture. 

PAUL SPEAKS of the very same 'resurrection/rapture'  in the following Scriptures:

Ephesians 1:10

"That in the dispensation of fullness of time HE might GATHER TOGETHER IN ONE all things in Christ , BOTH WHICH ARE IN HEAVEN and WHICH ARE ON EARTH , even unto Him."

2 Thessalonians 2:1

"Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ , and  by OUR GATHERING TOGETHER UNTO HIM..."

SO, THERE YOU HAVE IT:

In His Olivet Discourse the Lord Jesus speaks of the resurrection/rapture prophecy of "His elect"  Body of Christ Church being "gathered together" with "a great sound of a  trumpet" of God as recorded in Matthew 24:31 and Mark 13 :27. The Apostle Paul then confirms what Jesus said in His Olivet Discourse in his gospel. 


According to your Word, come Lord Jesus !
