1Co 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
So, what is the SHOUT the VOICE of the archangel and which TRUMP of God will sound? And when will the MYSTERY of God be complete?
Three of the answers are given in Rev 10
Rev 10:1 ¶And I saw another mighty angel (archangel) come down from heaven Rev 10:3 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: Rev 10:6 And the (archangel) sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer: :7 But in the days of the voice (Trump) of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
1Thes 4:16 makes it clear that the dead raise first followed by the rapture. All we have left to discover is what is the shout?
In Rev 11 concerning the two witnesses we are shown the raising of the dead. The two will be raised on that day with all the rest of the dead.
Rev 11:11 And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
:12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
This reaping of the full harvest of the Bride of Christ takes place just before the Day of God's wrath called Armageddon. That is the day God promised we would not go through. However the Lord never promised we would not suffer tribulation. In fact just the opposite.
So the rapture will not be Pre-tribulation.
Here is how Jesus explained it;
Mat 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. 30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
The sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, is the same event as the 6th seal. Rev 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; (this is when the vials/bowls of wrath begin to be poured out.)
The tribulation of those days will be the first 6 seals, 6 trumps and 6 vials/bows of wrath. The Lord comes for us as a theif in the night during the 6th of each of these.
In the 6th Seal the multitude that came out of the great tribulation is seen before the throne.Rev 7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
In the 6th vial/bowl Jesus come as a thief to rapture us to Him. Rev 16:15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
In the 6th Trump are the views of the archangel and the resurrection of the two witnesses are seen as the 7th trump begins to sound
The 7th Seal, 7th Vial of wrath, 7th Trump is when Armageddon is shown.
