I've thought about how to share my thoughts on a theological basis. Often times the Word of the Lord that comes does not come in harmony with a certain interpretation of eschatology. I'm sure that if God were to come to us as human being and walk into our churches and hear some of the eschatology taught, he would just shake his head in amzement at the things that we have dreamed up and are now teaching as prophecy truth.
However, a lot of the preconceived ideas about these scriptures found in
I Cor. 15 has to do with rapture theories which are many. But, if you read the scriptures here, you will find nothing that actually suggests a rapture. It is only when you tie those scriptures to other scriptures that support a theory do you come to this conclusion.
While I believe in a rapture of the church, some of our ideas about it are almost too ridiclous to keep from ROFL.
So, there is a change coming. Why does it neccessarily have to do with the rapture. There is none that I know of. A change is coming. Soon, men and women, every man in his own order, are going to start coming into immortality much like the catapillar emerges from his cacoon on a bright, glorious sunshiny day. Not all are going by the way of the graveyard...we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed. When the change is upon us, it will be instant.
