And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet , and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds , from one end of heaven to the other. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father . Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake , some to everlasting life , and some to shame and everlasting contempt . This is the first resurrection .
Raptured saints go to feast.
And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. The debate in theological circles as to whether the saints will go through the tribulation should include several raptures . The saints are to prepare themselves to be used by God. God will take some by death and others by rapture. This page is maintained by Dennis Schmidt.
