Some pre-tribucionalistas make a difference between "the day of Christ", the "Day of the Lord Jesus Christ" and "the Lord's day" and "day of God" as if they were different days, it is said that the day of Christ is the rapture and the Lord's day the event seven years later, however, the Bible offers no indication this is so. If we study carefully the next verse when Paul talked about that I was sinning and which should be disciplined, Paul says, "the that is delivered to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord "(I Corinthians 5:5). He to whom Paul referred was / is as much a part of the church as we are we are now almost two thousand years later. That was one that slept (died) in the Lord and therefore will be resurrected at the rapture of the church which Paul says will be "the Lord's day" (the end of the tribulation), not seven years before the day of the Lord.
We must remember that according to our Trinitarian belief there is only "one God" and "one Lord" not two or three gentlemen. The pre-tribucionalistas should not separate "day of God," Lord's Day "and" day of Christ "or the" Day of the Lord Jesus "as if they were separate reference to Father's Day as Lord and the day of the Son as one God. The phrase "the Lord's day" is mentioned in the Old Testament as a day of trial and anger of the LORD upon the world (Joel 2:11, 3:15), but we must understand that the Jehovah of the Old Testament is the same Christ of the New Testament. In the letter to the Thessalonians, Paul refers to the day of the coming of Christ and the Rapture (our meeting with Christ) the Lord's day proving that the rapture must take place that day. Peter also tells us that we (Christians) expect "the day of God" (2 Peter 3:12) in which the heavens and the earth will be consumed by fire. If we compare the description gives us Peter's "day of God" in his second letter and the one with respect to the "Lord's day" in his story in the book of Acts (2:19-20) we realize that relates the same event.
Given what we have explained above some pre-tribucionalistas teach that the Lord's Day is the Great Tribulation but again this idea is not biblically sustainable. The Lord's Day comes 'after' the great tribulation. We saw that this day is described by Peter as a day which will be 'entered' with signs in the sky when will "wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth, blood, fire and clouds of humo.El sun will become dark and the moon to blood before comes the great and glorious day of the Lord "(Acts 2:19-20). When we study the events surrounding the time of the Great Tribulation in Matthew 24 we read that the events described by Peter in Acts are also included in the story of Jesus Christ and are placed in chronological order 'after' the great tribulation and not before:
Matthew 24
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun was darkened and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven shall conmovidas.30 Then the sign of the Son of Man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the land and see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he shall send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Clearly we see that as the Lord's day is 'preceded' by the signs in the sun and moon and such signals occur 'after' the great tribulation, then liability the Apocalypse is not, nor does it include the Lord's day. The reading of Matthew tells us that after the signs in the sky "the sign of the Son of man in heaven" and "send his angels to gather his elect from the four winds from one end of heaven to the other" what is a reference to the rapture in 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17, and our meeting with him in 2 Thessalonians 2:1.
THE END OF THE WORLD
understand that the end of the world is one. There can be two 'end', there will be only one end. Speaking of the end, I would also add here a verse that gave me great interest while preparing a study on evangelism. In Matthew 28:20 says: "Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen." It is impossible that Jesus Christ is the church that preaches and teaches the new disciples day by day 'till the end of the world' if they are going to heaven seven years before the end of the world. Just not logical. How can Christ be with those who go preaching and making disciples until the end of the world if they went to heaven 7 years before the end of the world?
Once again we see the following verse: "To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the Lord's day. "I Corinthians 5:5." deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord. "(I Corinthians 5:5). The salvation of the believers will occur or that could better be accomplished on the day of the Lord Jesus who is in his second coming:
The second coming of the Lord is then the event in which believers Christ wait with great desire, as did Paul and Peter, the other apostles and believers of the time of the Bible. On that day we will be resurrected, transformed and alive.
WHAT IS THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD?
This doctrine is of paramount importance if we know with certainty when it will be the rapture of the church since this event and the resurrection of the dead in Christ will take place at the same time and same day.
The resurrection of the dead is the hope of those who die in Christ. Jesus himself promised to raise us: John 5:28-29
not marvel at this because time is coming when all who are in the graves shall hear his voice, and those who have done good, unto the resurrection of life, but those who have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
Here Jesus introduces the concept of the resurrection (although teaching was that of the Pharisees, Jesus Christ says), which is to take part in order separated but at the time of the coming of Christ. First those who did good and then they that have done evil, the Bible teaches then a general resurrection of good and bad on the day of the Second Coming of Christ. RESURRECTION DOS
In the book of Revelation we see that the Bible says there will be two resurrections. The "first resurrection" which is for life, and spiritual (John 11:25-26), frees us from the eternal damnation of the second death. The first resurrection occurs at salvation (Ephesians 2:6), and the "second resurrection is physical (body), occurs at the coming of Christ both just as unfair:
Revelation 20:4-5.
And I saw thrones and seated on them, those who received the authority to judge and I saw the souls of those beheaded for the witness of Jesus and the Word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image , and had not received his mark upon their foreheads or their hands and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first
resurrection in I Corinthians 15:20-23, we see the order of the resurrection to life (the first):
20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, the firstfruits of them that slept. 21 For since death came through a man, a man also the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, so in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
Here we clearly see the proper order of events of resurrection to life, (Verse 20 and 23) - First, Christ is risen from the dead and is the firstfruits of them that slept; Segundo (verse 23) - those who are Christ's at his coming. It is important to note that the word translated "coming" in English is [parousia] in Greek, meaning "Visible Presence."
I Corinthians 15 (literally)
20 And now Christ has been raised from the dead - the first fruits of them that sleep is done -, 21 because through man [is] death, too, through man [is] the rise again from the dead, 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive, 23 and each in its own order, a first-fruit Christ, then those who belong to Christ, in his presence,
As you can realize, Christ was the firstfruits of them that slept (died). Paul tells us that the resurrection then occurs in two stages. First Christ as 'first fruits' (first fruits) from the dead, then those who belong to Christ when he comes in his 'presence' [parousia]. Christ is the first resurrection:
John 11:25-26 Jesus said: I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he die, shall live. And whoever lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?
Acts 26:23 That Christ
suffer, and be the first of the resurrection of the dead should proclaim light to the people and the Gentiles.
In the Gospel of John Jesus said "Whoever believes in me, though he die, shall live" and in the book of Revelation says "Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection." The operant phrase is "my" and "has part". These are the ones who are "blessed" and who "though they are physically dead, still spiritually alive. Those who are in Christ through faith, have taken part in the first resurrection!
Ensuring that there will be a harvest resurrected on the last day this alleging that the first fruit rose. The quality of the fruit was first sign or indication of what kind of harvest expected this year. As Christ is the first harvest (first fruits "first fruits), the Finnish harvest will be good, is guaranteed. Therefore, those who are Christ's 'no doubt' must be raised "at his coming" (parousia).
In the book of Revelation 14:4 states that the 144,000 are the first fruits, they are a symbolic number that represents all saved the world from the beginning to the end, they form the Israel of God. In the OT the first fruits of the harvest were always to God, other people's drinking. The Church is God and (Exodus 23:19, 34:22,26), and therefore it is called scoops. The 144,000 represent the saved of God's people at all times (the chosen Israel) to which all those who remained in the Old Testament faith and were not broken off for their unbelief (Romans 11) and the believers in Christ of the New Covenant who began to be collected the day of Pentecost (Feast of Weeks or first fruits) that marked the harvest of the firstfruits, that is the Church, the spiritual Israel. These are Christ and be resurrected "at his coming" (parousia).
Verse 24 continues: "and then to see clearly that the resurrection will take place on the 'coming (Parousia = visible presence) of Christ. " And then shall the end of the present world, as Peter said, the world "... passed with a roar ... being burned."
