Message: When the Lord returns, what will happen to those saints who are alive and those whom have died?

In an early morning vision, the Lord communicated that when He returns to rule the earth for 1,000 years, at His second coming, this is what will happen next:

1.     1.  The martyred saints who labored, were persecuted and died in cities and regions around the world, because of their faith, they will be resurrected with new bodies and govern with the Lord Jesus during the millennial reign of God across the earth.

2.     2.  The saints who are alive, they are transformed instantaneously into newly resurrected bodies as well. 

3.     3.  Further, the Lord spoke, “It will be done smoothly.”  Saints alive are transformed in a way that their resurrection and new body shall feel natural, not shocking or confusing.

The scriptures speak of this “First Resurrection,” (Revelations 20:4-6) whereby the martyrs are "raised from the dead" and the surviving remnant reign with the Eucharistic Christ (Revelations 19:6) will reign upon the earth ushering in a time of peace and unity. (Revelations 20:2, Zechariah 13:9, Isaiah 11:4-9).
