I am Post-trib. Read the Bible without changing the order of the verses and read Revelation as a whole and noticed a part of a verse that is never talked about in chapter 20.
“4 I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5(The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy are those who have part in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years.”
Read what is in parenthesis (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the 1000 yrs were ended)
Folks, that is the first resurrection. After the tribulation, not before. Therefore, Jesus does not return to gather up the people who are called to give up everything and be willing to die for their faith. He never promises to take us out of harms way, but to walk with us as we are tortured, spit on, laughed at, ridiculed, etc, etc. The same way He lived, we are to live. Not as Kings, as servants, slaves. We rule later. It will be beyond description. The peace, the joy, the LIFE. Its coming faster than I ever imagined and I might just live (or die) to see it. My hope is in Jerusalem, the city of the GREAT KING. Want to join us? Be willing to be beheaded. Not such a strange occurrence these days.
Very good outline.
