HERE IS WHAT HAPPENS IN HEAVEN JUST BEFORE THE RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH......
"At that time Michael SHALL STAND UP, the great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people."
"And war broke out in heaven; Michael and his angels fought with the dragon......so the great dragon was cast out"
'And AT THAT TIME your people SHALL BE DELIVERED, Every one who is found WRITTEN IN THE BOOK."
"And they (the Church) overcame him BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB, and BY THE WORD OF THEIR TESTIMONY"
"These
are the ones (the Church) who come out of the great tribulation , and
washed their robes and made them white IN THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB.
Therefore they (the Church) are before the THRONE OF GOD .."
The “every one” in Daniel 12:1 “who is found written in the book” are the the OT saints and the NT believers (both Jew and Gentile). This group is collectively called the Church. The above scriptures tell us that God is going to rapture the Church when Michael casts Satan out of Heaven to Earth.
But before Satan is cast out of Heaven and before the Church is
raptured, God is going to tribulate and bring his vengeance on the
nation of Israel – the Jewish non-believers living in Israel.
Two-thirds will be killed (likely by a nuclear warhead(s) launched by
Iran) but God will save a Jewish remnant .
So,
I believe the sequence of events are: The great shorten tribulation of
Israel by God using Iran to carry out His vengeance, followed by the
casting down of Satan and the rapture of the Church immediately
after the shortened great tribulation of Israel, followed by Satan’s
control and wrath over the whole Earth during the last 1260 days,
followed by the second coming of Christ Jesus to rule as King of Kings
and Lord of Lords.
The
Church will be still be on Earth during the shortened tribulation of
Israel but the Church will not be harmed during God’s tribulation of
Israel.
