The seven seals of Revelation 6, correlate with Matthew 24, Luke 21 and Mark 13. He said the rapture happens in Revelation 4:1 when a voice from heaven said to John “Come up here” - He then further said that, “everything, all events that happen after that in the entire book of Revelation” are “post-rapture.” This is so not true. And because he is famous, people sadly believe him.įor example, on March 10, 2015, I heard a famous preacher from San Antonio, Texas, say that it is impossible for the saints not to be taken out at any other time than the beginning of the 7 years and he was emphatic that the saints would not have to see the Antichrist. In the following situation, a famous preacher is continuously promoting falsehood. We must know the Bible for ourselves, recognize and refuse to take in erroneous teachings. So what difference does understanding this simple truth about the true meaning of “in the twinkling of an eye” make? It makes a difference because only true precepts must be built upon true precepts because only the truth stands. Do you believe this? "Īs for how long the rapture takes, just “the trumpet blast alone” will take longer than “the twinkling of an eye.” And before the Lord enters this dimension or atmosphere, we know the sky will roll back like a scroll and an earthquake will happen as it says in Revelation 6:14 ~ and all this will take more than a blink or a twinkling of an eye! And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. John 11:25-26 Jesus said to her, " I am the resurrection and the life.This is also confirmed by what Jesus said. Therefore comfort one another with these words. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. 1 Thessalonians 4:15-18 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God.

Our spirits go to be with the Lord ( John 11:26, 2 Corinthians 5:8).

"Those who sleep in Jesus" is another commonly misunderstood term. “They” are not in the grave - only “their bodies” are. Those who "died in Christ" will return with Him. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.

For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed- in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. And as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God nor does corruption inherit incorruption. 1 Corinthians 15:48-53As was the man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust and as is the heavenly Man, so also are those who are heavenly.Let's look at the verses that precede and follow our key verses: It says “we shall be " changed” in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye." It does not say that the rapture happens in the twinkling of an eye. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed- in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.What does the biblical term, "in the twinkling of an eye" really mean? Many say that it means that something happens "faster than in the blink of an eye." For certain, whatever it means, it is fast! The next question is, what exactly happens "in the twinkling of an eye"? This verse in 1 Corinthians 15, is one of the most misquoted verses of all time.
