THE FIRST RESURRECTION, a.k.a. THE RAPTURE

11-12-23 God is Thought. The brightness of our revelations
depends upon the correctness of our doctrines, our building blocks, our Godly
thoughts laid one upon another, ascending
into the mind of Christ. Thought is a manifestation of “energy”
(electricity analogy). These study
notes are archived at tabernacleofmoses.org.
(Heb
12:29) For our
God is a consuming [Gk:
to consume utterly] fire.
WE MAY BECOME FAITHFUL MARTYRS
(Rev 6:9-11) And when he [Jesus Christ] had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls
of them that were slain for the word of God,
and for the testimony which they held:
And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How
long, O Lord, holy and true, dost
thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And
white robes were given unto every one
of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little
season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed [Gk: put to death] as they were, should be fulfilled.
(Rev 7:13-17) And one of the elders answered,
saying unto me [in John’s “vision” of
Heaven], What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence [from where] came they? And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said
to me, These are they which came out of great
tribulation [CAME OUT OF GREAT TRIBULATION]
[Gk: pressure: affliction, burdened, persecution, trouble], and have washed their robes, and made them white [innocent] in the blood of the Lamb.
Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in
his temple [Rev 3:12]: and he [God] that sitteth on the
throne shall dwell among them [Rev 21:3]. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on
them, nor any heat. For the Lamb
which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them,
and shall lead them unto living
fountains of waters [i.e., revelations]: and God shall wipe away all tears [unlike Lot’s wife who “looked back from
behind him, and she became a pillar of salt”] [1] from their eyes.
1. (Gen
19:24-26) Then the
LORD rained [“a consuming
fire”] upon Sodom [the archetype of false doctrines] and upon Gomorrah [Heb: to gather grain, bind sheaves, make
merchandise of] [the archetype of false works] brimstone and fire from
the LORD out of heaven; And he overthrew
those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants
of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground. But his [Lot’s] wife [(in context) a “disobedient”
Lesbian] looked
back [longingly, to her
loving friends in Sodom] from behind him [a],
and she became a pillar of salt [Heb: powder (as easily pulverized and
dissolved) /// to disappear as dust].
a. (Gen 19:17) And it came to pass, when they [the two angels] had brought them [Lot’s family] forth abroad, that he [the lead angel] said, Escape for thy life; look not
behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the
mountain, lest thou be consumed.
THE
FIRST RESURRECTION
(THIS
IS WHAT WILL SOON HAPPEN)
(Rev 20:1-3) And I saw an
angel [only Jesus Christ
has these powers] come down from
heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit
[Gk: depthless, (infernal) “abyss”]
[1] and a
great chain [Gk: a fetter
or manacle] in his hand [Gk: power] [“like a man’s hand” 1 Kings
18:44; ref. to Jesus Christ and “The Hand Ministry” Eph 4:10-13]. And he laid hold on the dragon, that
old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, And cast him
into the bottomless pit, and shut him up [i.e., no talking], and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no
more, till [Gk: until] the thousand years
should be fulfilled [Gk: ended, completed]: and
after that [after the
thousand year fulfilment (Dan 12:11)] [2] he [Lucifer-Satan] must be loosed a little season [i.e., for 45 more days (Dan 12:12), for
the “great white throne” judgment] [3].
1.
Webster’s
New World Dictionary: “abyss” = 1. a deep fissure in the earth;
bottomless gulf; chasm. 2. anything too deep for measurement; profound depth
(abyss of shame, of time, etc.). 3. the ocean depths. 4. Theol. the primeval void or chaos before the
Creation.
a.
Commentary:
The content of the abyss is
“darkness.”
b.
(Gen 1:2a) And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness [Heb: the dark; fig. misery, destruction,
death, ignorance, sorrow, wickedness] [i.e.,
6 characteristics (attributes) of all mankind] was upon the face of the deep [Heb: an abyss (as a surging mass of water)].
2.
(Dan 12:11) And from the time that
the daily sacrifice
shall be taken away, and the abomination [a]
that maketh desolate [b]
set up [i.e., in the command office], there
shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days
[i.e., 1,290 days = 3 ½ years].
a.
abomination:
Heb: disgusting, filthy; espec. idolatrous: detestable
thing /// utterly.
b.
desolate:
Heb: to stun (grow numb), devastate or fig. stupefy
/// make amazed, be astonished, destroy (self), (lay, lie, make) waste, wonder.
[are we there yet folks??]
3.
(Dan
12:12) Blessed
is he that waiteth [a],
and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and
thirty days [i.e., 1,335 days
= 3 ½ years, plus the additional 45 days of “great white throne” (Rev 20:11)
judgment].
a.
(Luke 21:19) In your patience possess [Gk: get, acquire (own): obtain] ye your souls [your thoughts (your spirit)].
(Rev 20:4-6) And I saw thrones, and they [the redeemed in Christ] sat upon them, and judgment was given unto
them [1]: and I saw the souls of them that
were beheaded [martyred] for the witness of Jesus, and for
the word of God, and which had not worshipped
the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark
upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived
and reigned [as “kings and
priests” Rev 1:6; 5:10] with Christ a thousand
years. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the
thousand years were finished
[Gk: ended, completed]. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second
death [i.e., eternal separation
from God, eternal separation from Love]
hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
1.
(1 Cor 6:3) Know ye not that we shall judge angels [the bad (evil) fallen angels]? how much more things that pertain
to this life?
THE RAPTURE
(THIS IS HOW THE FIRST
RESURRECTION WILL SOON HAPPEN)
(1 Thes 4:13-18) But I would not have you to be ignorant [1], brethren [redeemed (saved) brothers and sisters], concerning them which are asleep [Gk: be dead] [temporarily], that ye sorrow not, even as others
[that are unredeemed] which have no
hope [no “blessed hope”
Titus 2:13]. For if we believe that Jesus died
and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God
bring with him. For this we say unto you by the
word [Gk: logos] of the Lord [i.e., by the Bible], that we which are alive and remain unto the coming
of the Lord shall not prevent [Gk:
precede] them which are
asleep [Gk: be dead]. For the Lord
himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of
the archangel [Michael (Dan
12:1-3)], and with the trump of
God: and the dead in Christ shall rise
first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up
[Gk: seized: plucked, pulled,
taken by force] [2] together with them in
the clouds [in the (high
probability) nuclear clouds], to meet the Lord in the air: and
so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore
comfort one
another with these words.
