Before entering Christ’s Millenial Kingdom on earth, so many Tribulation Saints will be resurrected receiving their glorified bodies. Some people will of course be hardened during the wrath and be judged, and some will survive those Tribulation years entering Christ's millennium. Sure, because they will marry and produce some baby, some of which will also be saved and get their glorified bodies later.
These times are a ways after that earlier Harpazo moment the Church's rescue.
Millions of saints will get saved and then slaughtered during the tribulation years, especially in the second half. Those 144 thousand sealed Jewish evangelists will be doing a good job of reaping here.
Let's all stay focused on Jesus all the way Home no matter how long we live.
Before the millennium, and before the Great Tribulation, and the Tribulation years is the time I look forward to. The righteous dead will come out of their graves, and then with those believers who are still alive will be snatched away up to meet the Lord in the sky (new bodies in the air, that's the Rapture). Man, that sounds far better than the very exciting (harvest) yet very horrific terroristic trib-years.
Will there be physical resurrections for the saints of the tribulation and believers born in the millennium.. sure there will be, and when?
The Apostle John in the Bible declairs, "Then I saw thrones, and the people sitting on them had been given the authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony about Jesus and for proclaiming the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his statue, nor accepted his mark on their forehead or their hands. They all came to life again, and they reigned with Christ for a thousand years. This is the first resurrection. (The rest of the dead did not come back to life until the thousand years had ended.) Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. For them the second death holds no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him a thousand years." Rev 20:4, 5 #emph.mine
In due season God will judge everything man does, both good and bad. Ecclesiastes 3:17Why do they call it the dispensation of the Millennial Kingdom?
It is not right to favor the guilty and keep the innocent from receiving justice. Proverbs 18:5
The Lord hates cheating and delights in honesty. Proverbs 11:1
The Lord God has told us what is right and what He demands: “See that justice is done, let mercy be your first concern, and humbly obey your God.” Micah 6:8
Learn to do what is good. Seek justice. Correct the oppressor. Defend the rights of the fatherless. Plead the widow’s cause. Isaiah 1:17
Never twist justice to benefit a rich man, and never accept bribes. For bribes blind the eyes of the wisest and corrupt their decisions. Justice must prevail. Deuteronomy 16:19,20
The Lord watches to see if we are fair or if we cheat others. Proverbs 16:11
Happy are those who do right, who do what is fair at all times. Psalm 106:3
When justice is done, good people are happy, but evil people are ruined. Proverbs 21:15
Accountability is coming.. and it ain't a bad word at all.
All real Christians will get glorified bodies -- yes, physically resurrected:
1- The Righteous dead (saint's body’s sleep, no, not a soul sleep), but then raised.
2- Raptured saints, raised mid-flight.
3- Trib-Saints, raised at the 2nd coming of Jesus to earth.
4- The 2 witnesses with miraculous abilities get killed by the beast. They are out on public streets for 3 1/2 days and then they are raised (Revelation 11:7-13)!
Who are these two? We can't say really. They were given power to hold back the rain, to summon fire down from heaven and to strike the earth with real plagues. They witness with boldness, and at the end of their testimony, the beast from the pit will attack and kill them. He will leave their bodies out in a street in Jerusalem. Who are they?
(1) Moses and Elijah, (2) Enoch and Elijah, and (3) two unknown believers whom God calls to be His witnesses in the end times? We aren't sure. You know how Zechariah has a vision in which he sees a solid gold lampstand. On top is a bowl of oil, and an olive tree stands on each side there (see verses 3–4). The lampstand casts out its bright light without human maintenance, being constantly supplied by the olive oil flowing from the trees right into the bowl. God’s message to Zechariah was that God’s work (speaking of rebuilding the temple) would be accomplished “not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit” (verse 6).
Rememeber Zechariah (in 4) asks about the meaning of these olive trees and these branches that supply the oil, and the angel who spoke to him says, “These are the two anointed ones who stand by the Lord of the whole earth” (Zechariah 4:14, ESV). In other words, God’s power to sustain His work is flowing through two individuals set apart for the task. What's that remind you of? In the context, these two individuals are clearly Joshua (the current high priest) and Zerubbabel (the current governor of Judah then). We see a foreshadowing of Jesus Christ here too, as the Messiah would combine the offices of priest and king. Now we look at Revelation 11:4. In the description of the two witnesses, John says, “They are ‘the two olive trees’ and the two lampstands, and ‘they stand before the Lord of the earth.’” The Apostle John quotes from Zechariah 4. The two witnesses of Revelation, like Joshua and Zerubbabel, will have God’s power flowing through them to fully accomplish God’s specific work for them. So, who are the two witnesses of Revelation? The Bible does not clearly say, so we will remain silent on this question.
5- The people born during the millennium that get saved, will at the end of the 1000 year reign ..also get raised with glorified bodies.
Who else got raised?
-The widow of Zarephath’s son (1 Kings 17:17–24). Elijah the prophet raised the widow of Zarephath’s son.
-The Shunammite woman’s son (2 Kings 4:18–37).
-The man raised out of Elisha’s grave (2 Kings 13:20–21).
-The widow of Nain’s son (Luke 7:11–17).
-Jairus’ daughter (Luke 8:40–56).
-Lazarus of Bethany (John 11).
-Various saints in Jerusalem (Matthew 27:50–53).
-Tabitha (Acts 9:36–43).
-Eutychus (Acts 20:7–12).
-Jesus the Messiah (Mark 16:1–8). The Father, the Holy Spirit and the Son all were involved in Jesus resurrection.
What is the difference between the Rapture and the Second Coming before the time of the Millennium?
Tribulation Saints: Please Be Strong And Faithful Witnesses Of Jesus During The Earth's Darkest Hour!
The tribulation saints are those who place their faith in Jesus Christ during the tribulation, a time of unparalleled chaos and judgment upon the earth. While we believe the church will be raptured before this period begins, God’s mercy and grace continue to shine even in the darkest of times. Scripture reveals that a vast multitude from every nation, tribe, and tongue will come to salvation, though at great personal cost.
The Apostle John, in his vision of heaven, saw these saints standing before the throne of God, clothed in white robes and holding palm branches as their symbol of victory.
When asked who these people are, the answer is clear: “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb (Jesus Christ)” (Revelation 7:14).
These faithful believers will endure unspeakable suffering, yet their eternal salvation is secure, their robes washed clean by the blood of Christ.
The tribulation will be a time of dual intensity—God’s righteous judgment upon a rebellious world and the fierce persecution of believers by the Antichrist. As Daniel prophesied, "As I looked, this horn made war with the saints and prevailed over them," Daniel 7:21 esv
Yet, this defeat is only temporary, for Daniel also foresaw the Ancient of Days rendering judgment in favor of the saints, who will one day reign in the kingdom of God.
“As I watched, this horn was waging war against the saints and prevailing against them, until the Ancient of Days arrived and pronounced judgment in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came for them to possess the kingdom. This is what he said: ‘The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on the earth, different from all the other kingdoms, and it will devour the whole earth, trample it down, and crush it." Dan. 7:21-23
A Great Harvest Amid Judgment
Even in judgment, God’s merciful heart for people, longing to give them His salvation remains evident. During the tribulation, the gospel will continue to go out reaching people through various means:
The Bible: Many will turn to the Scriptures left behind, seeking answers as they witness God’s judgments unfold.
The Two Witnesses: These prophetic figures will preach and perform miracles for three and a half years, boldly proclaiming God’s truth (Revelation 11:3–6).
Israel, soon a nation of evangelism! The 144,000 Jewish Evangelists: They will be winning both humble Jews and gentiles who are open to the truth. Sealed and redeemed by God, these servants will spread the gospel across the globe, leading countless souls to Christ.
"After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, that no wind might blow on earth or sea or against any tree. Then I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, with the seal of the living God, and he called with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm earth and sea, saying, “Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.” And I heard the number of the sealed, 144,000, sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel:
12,000 from the tribe of Judah were sealed,
12,000 from the tribe of Reuben,
12,000 from the tribe of Gad,
12,000 from the tribe of Asher,
12,000 from the tribe of Naphtali,
12,000 from the tribe of Manasseh,
12,000 from the tribe of Simeon,
12,000 from the tribe of Levi,
12,000 from the tribe of Issachar,
12,000 from the tribe of Zebulun,
12,000 from the tribe of Joseph,
12,000 from the tribe of Benjamin were sealed.” Revelation 7:1–8 esv
Following the ministry of the two witnesses, John describes a great multitude of believers saved from every corner of the earth, their faith unshaken despite the horrors surrounding them (Revelation 7:9–17).
By God’s Grace Remain Faithful to the End
The tribulation saints will serve Christ in a world rife with hostility, demonstrating unshakable faith even unto death. They will triumph not through force, but through the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony, holding fast to their faith regardless of the cost (Revelation 12:11). Though many will be martyred, their death marks their victory, and their eternal reward is assured:
“Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat upon them, nor any scorching heat. For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes” (Revelation 7:16–17).
Are You Still Outside In The Darkness? God Is Light, Respond To Christ Today
The tribulation will be a time of both judgment and grace—a time when God judges the unbelieving world while by His kind graces is extending salvation to all who will believe, to Jews and Gentiles alike. But why wait for such that horrific perilous time to repent and believe/accept Christ? The door of salvation is open right now. To all who will receive Him, God freely gives the right to become children of God.
As for the tribulation saints, their really tough story does not end in martyrdom. You won't be forgotten.
Even in the midst of wrath being poured out on earth, God extends His grace. The tribulation will be a radical time of judgment, but also a time of salvation for both Jews and Gentiles—yes, for both Israel and anyone who will repent and believe in Jesus. Yet why wait? Now is good!
"But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God." John 1:12-13 esv
The tribulation saints, though they will miss Christ's Rapture experience for the Church believers (who gain their glorified bodies mid-flight), will one day be physically resurrected and glorified as well, joining the redeemed in eternal ongoing worship of God with JOY unspeakable. I say, please don’t wait any longer, just repent and by faith receive Christ today! Why enter those seven years of tribulation? Why risk facing the horrors of the great tribulation when God’s mercy is still available for you here and now? His arms are open wide for you now, His grace is free in this age of grace, and He is His perfect love is waiting for you—don’t delay.
Many Rightly Pray for Revial and Awakening Before the Rapture Happens. Some Aledgedly Prophecy About It Happening Then. I hope It Does, But we Don't see those Verses in the Bible.
A time is coming unlike any other where Jews will know and preach Jesus here.
A time of unparalleled destruction will happen during this time—and yet, of unprecedented salvation too. Muse through the seventh chapter of Revelation. God unveils a staggering reality here: in the darkest years of all human history, the greatest awakening this world has ever seen will break forth. Revival is for the Church to get on fire spiritually, and the Church has been raptured out.
Millions will come to Christ during the wrath of God being poured on on the trib-ungodly. The Christian's prayers of generations deeply longing for a mighty international, global awakening will be answered by God—but at the highest cost. Many who come to Christ will be beheaded (that's why we see an accumulation of martyers under the altar in heaven who then emerge from under that altar as more believers get killed on earth).
A World On Fire In A Really Bad Sort OF Way
This will not be a season of peace or prosperity on earth. It will be the worst of times and the best of evangelism. The fury of tribulation wrath will descend like a storm, unleashing terror, horrific-chaos, and judgment here. It's been pretty bad for years in Western Nations with liberal and Rino leader exploiting all they can, but it will get far worse before it gets better here on earth.
1. The family,2. Human government,3. The real Church.
The Antichrist will rise up, empowered by Satan himself, and will rule with a bloodthirsty hatred of Christ and of all believers. He will war, he will rage.. famines will spread, plagues will ravage, and nature it self will convulse wildly. The earth will shake and quake, the heavens will tremble, and physical death will claim untold multitudes of people. Saved and unsaved sinners will be killed. Evil will seem unstoppable for so long. The Holy Spirit’s restraining will have been lifted (when the believers are snatched away), and sin will then really run rampant like never before. You think you've already seen hell on earth?
Yet, in the midst of all this nightmare, something miraculous will unfold again and again and again. The Jews will witness and people will repent.
A Multitude Beyond Number
So many will get saved during the tribulation years, and they will get resurrected bodies before ending the millennial years. Some will get born physically and then saved during the millennial years too and then they will receive their glorified bodies at the end of the thousand-year reign of Christ on earth.
God will not cease His saving work during the tribulation years. Instead, He will move with mighty power like never before.
John’s vision in Revelation 7 (remember what he saw while stuck on the Isle of Patmos?) reveals a breathtaking sight for us: a vast multitude, beyond human counting, righteous, and standing before the throne of God, clothed in really white robes, worshiping the Lamb of God. Blood doesn't normally make clothes white, but we are so thankful for the shed blood of Jesus.
When asked who these people are, the explanation resounds—these are the tribulation saints, those who have come through it.. to faith in Christ during the horrific Tribulation. Their salvation like ours was free, but they have paid for it with their lives.
Despite the horrors of this age and the tribulation years, the gospel will not be silenced. People will be persecuted and killed, but the Word of God will still remain. God will still use people. The testimony of the two mighty witnesses in Jerusalem will pierce the darkness. The 144,000 sealed Jewish evangelists will carry the gospel to the ends of the earth. And even angels will proclaim the everlasting gospel from the skies.
"Then I saw another angel flying directly overhead, with an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on earth, to every nation and tribe and language and people." Revelation 14:6 esv
No soul will be left without a witness. And millions—Jews and Gentiles alike—will believe.
"He said in a loud voice, 'Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heavens, the earth, the sea and the springs of water.” niv
How cool is that? Our God is into saving people! A literal angel flies through the sky and preaches the everlasting gospel to all people on Earth. The angel's message is to fear God, give him glory, and worship him.
What is the difference between the Rapture and the Second Coming before the time of the Millennium?
Who are the 144,000? They be saved Jews with a holy evangelistic purpose.
Will Christians see the Antichrist, or will the rapture occur first?
"Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people— saying with a loud voice, 'Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.' And another angel followed, saying, 'Babylon[a] is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.' Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, 'If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.' Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. Then I heard a voice from heaven saying [d]to me, 'Write: ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.'” Revelation 14:6-13 nkjv
Victory in Death, for the Believers
Their salvation was free (paid for by Christ), however, following Jesus will cost them everything. The Antichrist (anti means against or in place of) will hunt them down, He will gladly imprison and torture them, and then execute them.
The enemy is a liar, a counterfeiter, a deceiver, an accuser, and a murderer. Satan and the demons also love to destroy every chance they get. Fast or slow they want to kill your countrymen, but they prefer fast. Misery loves company and the lake of fire awaits.
"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." John 10:10 niv
The world will despise and persecute Christians, yet heaven will embrace and welcome them. During the Tribulation years, many Christians will not shrink from torture and death, for they will stand firm in Jesus by the Spirit who encourages them.
The Bible says, "They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death." Revelation 12:11 niv
And their suffering will not be in vain. For faithful Trib-saints, physical death is NOT a defeat. They too will be physically resurrected.
Honestly come to Christ as you are today. Never forget that the strongest men are not only found in the gym doing more than talking.
They are more importantly found in the Bible, in a healthy church, and often on their knees. Yep, regularly in the presence of God. fish4souls.org
