The scripture in Isaiah 57:1 (KJV) The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come". is one of my favorites that I cling to myself because it is in the OT and clear to be understood. Long ago, J.R. Church told how the word "perishieth" in the Hebrew was ovad and means an unbloody death of those taken from the evil to come.

Question? Whose Evil? I expect that evil would be the A/C actions that will be implemented after some great catastrophe in which people think those taken were just part of the collateral damage due to the event. That could be coming up with all of the upcoming catastrophes seen in the near future. The Holy One of Israel will mete out His judgment when He comes with His angels. Saints are not warriors but His angels are the ones that will deal with Lucifer and His minions once and for all.

That is not to say that the Saints that have joined the Dead to meet the Lord in the air won't be among them. Can you imagine the dread that will come upon the A/C, False Prophet, Kings, Queens, Captains Lords and those that consider themselves to be the Illuminated Ones will feel when they are brought face to face with the King of Glory Himself?

Personally I do not believe in two grand Resurrections, just one. The above taking of the living in an unbloody death is an act of mercy in that people will not feel the death but be taken just as the events take place. I believe Stephen and other Martyers suffered the stoning, etc. But the actual death was a wonderful change, separation of body and the spirit. Many people will suffer before... due to persecution taking place now and before this great catastrophe...that is Biblically laid out for us to read: beheadings, death by the sword, famine and pestilances. Many around the world are already experiencing those days. Soon, it will pay it's visit to America. Jade Helm is the implementing of that evil plan.

The Marriage Supper of the Lamb has been used by the pre-tribbers to push a 7 year feast in heaven. That is not correct.

The ecclesia is the Body of Christ, not the Bride. Romans 12:5 " So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. I Corin. 12:27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

The Bride of Christ are those same ones who were wed to The Great I Am when the marriage covenant was made in the Wilderness. That same kind of Covenant is typical of Jewish weddings. These are the original Called Ones Ones, the Hebrews. Like Gomer, most have left their husband to go seeking other gods for whom they lifted their skirts in spiritual harlotry.

Since Christ is the revealed God, He, the husband, has come down to reclaim His Bride (just as Hosea did for his harlot wife, Gomer when he bought her back from the slave market). He, the Body and those who are part of his body will participate in the Marriage Supper of the Lamb to His Wife. Remember how the Bible calls us the Body of Christ with different functions? That is what I believe will be the joining of the two sticks into one. The two sticks being the Northern Tribes of Israel and the Southern Tribes of Judah.

When this wayward wife (Natural Jews) comes to accept her husband again, then there will be rejoicing in heaven. The Marriage Supper will take place after all has been defeated and the King is crowned. We, the ecclesia (both Israel and Gentile) are the invited guests. Do you see how those that come to the feast but didn't have the wedding garment were removed and thrown into Outer Darkness are imposters or even Christians that claimed to be such but the Lord says He never knew them? That is what is meant by it all. They never put on the righteous garment of Forgiveness and Salvation that only Christ Jesus has the power to give them. They seek their own methods and prideful endeavors.

When is the Rapture we all anticipating. Paul was looking for the Return of Christ, not a Rapture to be taken out before He returned. The early church, as it faced more and more persecution was looking for the return of Christ also. When will this changing of the living into immorality take place in a grand scale? Let's let scripture show us rather than continue to believe the Jesuit lie perpetrated upon the church so long ago. Let's read the whole context and we will see that they were looking for the return of the Lord, not some secret Rapture. I Thess. 4:13-18 (KJV)

But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 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 of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 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: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
