Dear Grant Jeffrey,

I watched your vide on rapture and have a few quick comments. The 24 elders is never a term given to the Church. 24 is administration of the 24 archangels. John was taken up in the spirit, not a bodily resurrection. Jesus died on the cross in the first seal with a bow and arrow that looks like a cross giving Satan a deadly wound with the arrow shot. First rapture is according to readiness, not for the whole Church.

The Restrainer is Satan holding back the Antichrist for the opportune time. Your teaching is bizarre that there are people in heaven with their spirit and naked without a body. We are not allowed to come before the high priest naked. You are a false teacher and will not be included in the first rapture and not return with Christ to reign for 1000 years.

The Holy Spirit is not removed. You are evil to think that. The Church is present on the earth during the Tribulation to comfort those who come to Christ. You are a false teacher. The Church is not removed to Heaven during the Tribulation. Only about 1/7th of living overcomers are raptured at the first rapture to come before the throne in Heaven.

The wrath to be escaped can be hoped for if you keep the word of His patience. The 24 elders is not the rapture but picture of earth from heaven. There are multiple mentions of the Church in various ways through Rev. 8 to 19 (see link below - section II.A). There is no difference between the Jews and the Church during the church age? The Jews are one of those nations that come out of the tribulation of the past 20 centuries.

THe last trumpet rapture and resurrection is before the bowls of wrath. The "taken" are are the first rapture and the "left" are those who are left to be raptured at the last trumpet (Matt. 24.40-42). You're a false teacher and God has judged you through me.

You will accuse the brethren raptured at the first rapture (Rev. 12.10) because you will assume you should have been included so you won't think it is the Saints and the Tribulation and thus will be deceived by the scorpions and the mark.

144,000 Jews are sealed in the wilderness and the 144,000 Christian virgins are raptured at the first rapture along with other overcomers.

Please read and try to understand partial rapture,
