Heaven don sure for all these ones, wow shocked cheesy

Instead of calmly listening to know what people have in mind you go about imposing what you read on them and by the end of the day arguing and accusing them wrongly.

Paradise is not heaven so if you want to know calm down and learn! undecided

That’s true, that’s why watchtower specially created a book for their witnesses so no one can impose another on them again

So JWs don't believe heavenly life because it's not for humans {Psalms 115:16} our eternal abode is here on planet earth {Psalms 37:9-11, 29; Proverbs 2:20-22; Matthew 5:5} so when we talk about PARADISE we meant a cleansed earth where all evildoers will be no more! Psalms 52:4-5
We are JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES not churchgoers! smiley

Is it not the last trump when believers would be raptured?

The last Trump is when the believers would be raptured.

OkCornel:


Is there any other trump that’ll be blown after the one in Matthew 24 v 29-31?

Matthew 24 v 29-31;
29 “Immediately after the distress of those days ‘the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky,
and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’
30 “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.
31 And he will send his angels with A LOUD TRUMPET CALL, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.


1 Corinthians 15 v 51-52;
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.

The Rapture should not be confused with the 2nd Coming. The 2 events are distinct and separated by 7 years. The 2nd Coming refers to Christ's coming to earth to live as He did in the 1st Coming, He will be seen by everyone. In the Rapture , Jesus Christ would not come to earth but stop in the air where the saints will meet Him. It is not everyone that will see Him at the Rapture. When Christ meets the saints in the air, He will take them to heaven where they would remain, they will not partake of the period of Jacob's Trouble otherwise referred to as The Great Tribulation (Revelation 19:18,19). It is during this 7 year period that Marriage Supper of the Lamb and the judgment of the saints would take place in heaven (1 Corinthians 3:12-15; 2 Corinthians 5:10).

So…if the “last trump” would be blown before the great tribulation, why is it called “last trump” when the 7 trumpets of God’s judgment will be blown after that one and the one in Matthew 24 v 29-31?

Let me clarify. If the “last trump” triggers the rapture which according to you will happen before the great tribulation, how is that the “last trump” when another trumpet would be blown at the second coming of Christ in Matthew 24 v 29-31?

Will any other trumpet be blown after the one in Matthew 24 v 29-31? If no other trumpet would be blown after this one, is that not the last trump?

The last trump is the one for the rapture while the other one in the book of revelation is to met out the wrath of God afterwards.

Then the one that will be blown at the second coming of Jesus Christ in Matthew 24 v 29-31 is called what? Trump after the "last trump"?

Matthew 24 v 29-31;

and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’
30 “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.

Matthew 24 v 29-31 is the last trump, since no trump would be blown after that one. The last trump would be blown "immediately after the tribulation of those days" as Jesus said... not before it.

Jesus was generally talking about His Second Coming. The Second Coming is divided into 2 phases (The Rapture And The Second Coming). There is 7 years between both of them.

1) Where did Jesus mention he will come for the church before the great tribulation?

2) And if the "last" trump is blown before the great tribulation, what is the trumpet that'll be blown at the second coming of Jesus called?

3) Will there be any other trump blown after the one in Matthew 24 v 29-31?

Don't confuse yourself with semantics. The trumpet Jesus spoke about is the same one Paul referred to as the last trump that heralds the rapture. The 7 trumpets blown by angels in the book of Revelation has to do with vials of the wrath of God to be poured onto those left behind. Don't be left behind. Become rapturable.

Per the bolded, very good…so since Paul and Jesus speaks of the same trumpet as the last trump…

Kindly read Matthew 24 v 29-31. Jesus clearly mentioned the trumpet will be blown “immediately after the tribulation of those days”

Or can you show us another trumpet Jesus mentioned would be blown “before the tribulation of those days” to take away the church?

Matthew 24 v 29-31;
29 “Immediately after the distress of those days ‘the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky,
and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’
30 “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.
31 And he will send his angels with A LOUD TRUMPET CALL, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.


1 Corinthians 15 v 51-52;
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.

By the way, going by Jesus’ explanation of who’ll be taken and who’ll be left behind, I’d rather be left behind…

THE CATCHING AWAY OF SAINTS
TEXT: 1 THESSALONIANS 4:13-18

"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" (1 THESSALONIANS 4:17).

There was a time the world scientists believed that no engine powered motor could fly in the air until 1903 when Wilbur and Orville Wrights successfully powered the first engine airplane. There are many inventions that have followed. Today, spacecrafts enable men to suspend in outer space for several months.

Our text describes the most expected event of Christ's followers when they shall be caught up in the air to be with Him. The first person to leave the earth upwards without death was Enoch (Genesis 5:24), followed by Elijah the prophet (2 Kings 2:11). Thereafter, Jesus also ascended to heaven after His resurrection (Acts 1:9).

The purpose of catching saints away is to separate them from sinners when the wrath of God and terror of the Antichrist comes upon the people of the earth in the near future. In the same wisdom, God separated Noah's family in an ark when He destroyed the world with rain and flood.

Signs in the world show that the time is at hand. Repent now and be ready for the rapture. Preach the gospel to others to save them too.

Quote: "God separated Noah's family."

Chɑllenge: "Get ready, the time is at hand."

Prɑyer: "Lord, help me to be ready for Your coming"
