The Mosiac Calendar Part 4 The Period Between the Ressurection and Judgment |
|||
Sunday, April 22, 2001 (1) The resurrection of the Lord Yahoshua Messiah and the saints was due to divine intervention in the form of an earthquake. This was a display of divine power indeed. Thus we would expect such a manifestation of divine power at the time of the resurrection when the Lord Yahoshua Messiah returns. We find that being indicated in the passage below:
Here we notice that when the Lord returns, those who are asleep in Messiah will be resurrected from the dead by what is typically referred to as "a shout with the voice of the archangel and with the trump of God." Such a description is appropriately represented by an earthquake. Indeed it will be the herald that sees the saints, or virgins, resurrected from the dead. (2) It is the bodies of the saints that come forth from the grave; not something that is intangible. These are very tangible people. [Note: Not ghosts as the world at large teaches.] (3) There were many [Note: not everyone as the universal resurrections say!] bodies, or many saints, that were resurrected; not just a few. Thus, jumping to the future [Note this very important point because we are looking at the resurrection and the reward of the righteous and not the judgment seat and the punishment of the wicked], which this passage is a type of, we find the following passage from Daniel expressing the same idea:
(4) The resurrected saints then went into the holy city and appeared unto many*. From this we learn that when the saints are resurrected, and that appears not to be too far into the future, they will then go into the various cities, which it would appear the angels would direct them to, and appear to the living saints in that area. Through this process, the living saints would become aware that the resurrection has taken place, and it would only be a matter of months before they will be taken to Sinai for judgment. *[Note this explanation is based on:
Obviously, the person who made the erroneous statement did not pay attention to the above fact. The fact that the saints will be a matter of months in their various locations is based on the fact that they are resurrected on the second passover and taken off to Sinai for judgment on Rosh Hashanah which will be on May 7/8 and September 18 this year [2001 ed], respectively. These dates will change from year to year. Again please note that 1 Thess. 4 does not deal with this time period so they cannot contradict each other in any way shape or form.
