THE RESURRECTION
“This is a very vital and important letter wherein the Holy Spirit inspires me to write about the coming resurrection and putting things in perspective order! Along with the translation.” – “Jesus gives some wonderful resurrection promises! But first let’s take into consideration Luke 7:14-15, wherein Jesus was revealing to us that He had power in the coming resurrection!” – “I say unto thee, arise, and he that was dead sat up, and began to speak!” – “We notice in the whole verse that it was a young man evidently in this case denoting that the bodies would rise back to a certain age at the resurrection! And those in the translation will also be changed into their younger age! And we will still know one another as we were known!” (I Cor. 13:12) – “These verses reveal to us the type of coming resurrection power!” – “There has already been a first fruit type of resurrection when Jesus died and was raised concerning some of the Old Testament saints!” (St. Matt. 27:52-53) – “Also there will be a New Testament first fruit resurrection coming!” – St. John 5:25, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live!” Notice the words, now is, just seems to fit right here, it’s close! Notice, they that hear, shall live! The real seed of God will hear the voice, but the other evil seed in the grave will not hear it at that time! The same at the Translation, the ‘real elect’ will hear the voice! – “Jesus died and rose at the age of 33 ½. This probably shows the older saints will not keep old bodies but are changed into a vibrant age!” (I Cor. 15:20-54)
“Now let the Holy Spirit help fit this into place!” – Acts 24:15, “And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.” At first glance this would lead us to believe that the unrighteous were raised at the same time as the righteous, but as we check the Scriptures we find that there is a time lapse between the two resurrections! Dan. 12:1-3 points it out the same way! But Jesus gives us the revelation concerning the time differentials in the judgments and rewards! – “The first resurrection and translation of the saints is a thousand years earlier than the White Throne Judgment!” (Rev. 20:5-6)
“Let’s start from the beginning in each phase!” – I Thess. 4:16, “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first!” – “And then we which are alive shall be caught up to meet the Lord in the air!” – Rev. 4:1-3, “ is a foreshadow of this!” Also the translation is found in Matt. 25:4-6, 10. “At the midnight cry we go out to meet Him!” – “Now involved in this also is a very special group in the very heart of God! They are a particular order first among the over-comers!” Rev. 14:1-5, “There will definitely be others in heaven besides this important class of believers!”
“Now consider in the first resurrection there is what we called a Tribulation harvest who come later, but are still considered in the first resurrection (Rev. 7:14 -15). Also the two witnesses who are taken up are symbolic of some more who will go up too! (Rev. 11:9-12) Read verse 12. All of this is still under the first resurrection!” – (Rev. 20:4, latter part of verse.) Verse 5 reveals the rest of the dead lived not until the thousand years are finished! Beforehand is the First Resurrection! The thousand years between the First and Second Resurrection is the Millennium and also even then some of the Millennium saints who die at an extended age will still be considered under the blessing of the First Resurrection. – (Read Isa. 65:20-21.)
“But as we see the evil seed of that thousand year period who disobey will have to stand before the Great White Throne Judgment! And now all of them of all ages who have done wicked (or evil seed) will be raised together to stand before the Great White Judgment Throne!” (Rev. 20:11 -15) “And this is important to remember.” – “This is the second death, verse 14. And verse 6 reveal all the others before this come up under the First Resurrection; on such the second death or resurrection hath no power! Be sure to prepare your heart to be in that First Resurrection!” – “We might add that the evil seed during the Millennium is found in Zech. 14:16-18. – Rev. 20:7-9 definitely depicts the judgment of the Millennium rebellion seed!” (Read it.)
“I realize this is only a short part of the whole subject, but the Holy Spirit will give you wisdom after several readings! This was done to the best of my ability with God’s help and trust you have a better view now and that it will lift your faith, for His promises are really true!”
