Never understood rapture talk or how it tied to the Bible or most especially how people can be so adamant about when it will occur. Thank you for the thorough post.
Revelation 4 KJV 1 After this 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, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. 2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
Before the seals are opened, 1) a door opened into Heaven, 2) the voice of a trumpet sounding, 3) Christ on His throne, not on Earth.
Revelation 5 KJV 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;
HAST REDEEMED US TO GOD BY THY BLOOD
In Heaven, before the seals opened, with Christ. Who is redeemed by the blood but believers?
