How many resurrections from the dead are there?
There are four.
On that first Easter (33), Jesus rose from the dead as well as 100s of saints, "the first fruits" of the Resurrection.
At the Rapture (2022), the dead in Christ shall rise first, and we who are alive will be caught up with them into the air.
At the Second Coming (2030), the Remanent and the Tribulation Saints that died from 2023 to 2030. The dead in Christ shall rise first, and those who are alive will be caught up with them into the air.
At the end of the Millennial Reign of Christ (3030), all who have died since the beginning of time and who were not included in the previous Resurrections. All are given back their bodies and enter the Final Judgment. Some to Eternal Life and some to eternal hell.
Is it okay to believe that Jesus was just a good guy and a prophet, sort of like another Buddha and Mohammed?
What about his tomb? He must be buried somewhere. The BBC and CNN just haven't found it yet!
The World Hates His Disciples
“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the one who sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. Whoever hates me hates my Father as well. If I had not done among them the works no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. As it is, they have seen, and yet they have hated both me and my Father. But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: ‘They hated me without reason.’ John 15:18-25
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO BE DOING IN THE MILLENNIAL REIGN OF CHRIST?
The Lord's first priority with us supporting him is to end poverty, grant justice and equity to the oppressed 80% of the world's populations. Think renovating an old house. The earth is worn and torn. We will be helping him to clean, scrape, paint, garden and renew the face of the earth along with those being born and living here with us. We receive new immortal bodies to do our job to establish the Kingdom of Glory upon the face of the earth.
Together with Christ, the 7th day (7th Millennium) comes to a close in about 3030. The 8th day ushers in the Kingdom of Heaven. All old things here pass away. Everything is new. Forever to be married to Christ, our Bridegroom.
Last night, I symbolically polished and trimmed the wick of a solid brass rail yard lantern (photo) my dad used at work. Crafted in the late 1800s.
All the while remembering that Jesus said, “At midnight there was a cry. Behold! The bride groom is coming! Come out to meet him! Then the women trimmed their lamps. But the five foolish women were not ready. When they finally showed up at the wedding, the groom said to them, “Depart from me. I never knew you!”
May all our Servants, families and friends be ready for the very soon Day of the Lord. In that day we shall say, “Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ has come again.” brother +
PS. Pray actively for the coming Kingdom of God. “Our Father. Who art in heaven. Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven . . .”
