There were no Christians in the Old Testament and there will no Christians after the Rapture, since only Christians make up the bride of Christ (Eph.5:30)

The 'church' gets Raptured out to take her part as the Bride of Christ...The wedding takes place in Heaven...

'This' is at the end of the Great Tribulation just before Jesus returns...

The bible strongly hints at a limited mid-Tribulation Rapture and a limited post-Tribulation Rapture as well...This is called the First Resurrection...

Any one who did not get saved before the Rapture is complete, will not be a part of the Bride of Christ...

Those who are 'saved' after the Rapture (Jews and Gentiles alike) will go on into the Millennium and live and reproduce for a thousand years...On earth...With Jesus Christ sitting on the physical Throne of David in Jerusalem as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords...

At the Great White Throne Judgment, these 'Christians' will be judged on their faith as well as their works...

Thank you. I am now well aware that the Dispensational view is that ALL the prophets before the coming of the Lord will never have their Messiah as bridegroom.

The funny thing here is that for all the racial nonsense about how special the Jews are, this view makes the OT saints little more than God’s little prostitute. And, to be honest, I find it particularly sad that anyone would call themself a Christian and friend of the Hebrews and believe such things. Talk about Replacementarianism and arrogance.

Abraham, David, et. all.: What do you mean we can’t be be part of Messiah’s bride?

God: Well, I’ll still visit every once in a while. [wink, wink] And, don’t forget the dirt.

Personally, I don’t think myself worthy to even be in the company of many of these people, much less the one who gets to be the bride while they get to be the other woman.
