Notice that it says, "this is the first resurrection"?

This event marks the beginning of the

thousand year reign of Jesus Christ after the tribulation. If this is the first resurrection, then
it's pretty obvious that there isn't another rapture that happens sometime before this. And,
John saw the souls of them that died for Jesus and did not take the mark of the beast or
worship him. If we arent here during the end of the seven years when the mark of the beast is
implemented, there would be no one who would fit this description.
Rev 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and
power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 8 And all that dwell upon
the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain
from the foundation of the world.
He (the Antichrist) will make war with the saints and all that dwell on the earth shall worship
him, whose names are not written in the book of life. Those who know God have their names
written in the book of life. Again, looks an awful lot like were here during the reign of the
Antichrist.
2 Thess 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there
come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who
opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he
as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
That day, the day Christ returns, will not come until after the antichrist is revealed. This event
(the abomination of desolation where the antichrist is revealed) does not happen until half
way through the final seven years.
1 Cor 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.
Paul tells us that the dead will be raised and that we will be changed at the sound of the last
trumpet. There isn't anyone who will argue the fact that the last trumpet, the 7th trumpet, is
the battle of Armageddon where Jesus returns to put down the governments of man and set up
His kingdom at the end of the tribulation. This passage tells us without a doubt that the
rapture will be at the end of the tribulation.
1 Thess 4:16 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: 17 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.
The Lord shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the trumpet of God, and the dead
shall rise first and then we that are still alive will be caught up with them together in the
clouds. Is there another trumpet that brings the rapture? Not that I've ever read in the bible.
This, again, is
