    I would to know concerning the rapture,at the coming of Jesus those who have fallen in jesus will rised first and those who are believers still alive will be caught with Him in the air. My question is,where is the resting place for the believers who have departed this earth?
  • Luke - In Reply on Acts 8 - 1 year ago
    My take on that is this. when you die your soul goes to be with the Lore, " to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.

    Your body is in the ground, i believe since the body belongs to a saved person, it leaves first, the dead in Christ rise first, then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up with them in the clouds.. I think the Lord want the bodies of the saved believers out of this world before the Antichrist takes over. I think he will put the molecules back together and match it back to the soul.

    Hi Anthony.

    The believers that has departed the Earth prior to Christ coming is with the Lord.

    We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

    2 Corinthians 5:8.

    Philippians 1:23.

    The Lord will bring them, and those raptured at his second coming.

    Right after the marriage supper of the Lamb we are presented with Christ's "VISIBLE" return to this earth to execute judgment, put down evil, and set up His kingdom. He returns "with his saints.

    1 Thessalonians 3:13.

    Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

    Revelation 1:7.

    I hope this helps.

    God bless.

    Anthony:

    The first coming of Christ was his ministry IN THE FLESH, three and a half years, on earth in the flesh.

    His SECOND COMING is SPIRIT, you cannot see SPIRIT, it comes like a thief in the night.

    At pentecost Christ POURED OUT his Spirit on mankind.

    Christ, in the form of the Holy Ghost, now lives inside you, you are the BODY OF GOD, Christ is THE LIFE in YOU.

    Colossians 1:27 ....this mystery ....Christ in you ......

    Philippians 2:13 For it is GOD (Christ in you) that WORKETH IN YOU (the body) both TO WILL and TO DO HIS (the life's) good pleasure.

    PROPHECY:

    Ezekiel 36:27 And I will put my Spirit (life and truth) within you, and CAUSE you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgements, and DO THEM.

    God Bless You!
  • Wisemen still seek him - In Reply on Acts 8 - 1 year ago
    Jesus Christ is the same yesterday today and forever , where is that verse in Book of Hebrews Im sure . So he walked the earth as a man and must still be one . although glorified .
  • GiGi - In Reply on Acts 8 - 1 year ago
    Yes, Wisemen,

    He is still a full human and fully God in one person. The Holy Spirit is not Jesus, nor is the Spirit the Father, nor is Jesus the Father.

    Rather we worship a Godhead of three distinct Persons that are a union in one Being.
  • Giannis - In Reply on Acts 8 - 1 year ago
    Hebrews 13:8 "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever."
