The Gospel will be preached globally (Mat 24:14, until 'and', Mark 13:10).


               The World be in abundance and relatively peaceful (Mat 24:38, Luke 17:27, 1
               Thes 5:3), not in tribulation as the first tribulation comes after the Rapture once all
               the intercessionary goodness or ‘salt’ has been suddenly removed from the earth
               (Mat 5: 13).


               There will be many heresies and false teaching that contradict the operation of the
               two great commandments and these will confuse people (John 14:21 both of the
               two great commandments, 23 the first commandment, 15:12 the second
               commandment, 17:21, 2 Pet 2:2).

               Christ could come again at any time as the prophecies of Matthew 24:14, until
               'and', and Mark 13:10 are already fulfilled and this has been the case from Paul’s
               day as even then the whole world had, as a mystery, spiritual and supernatural
               access to the gospel (Col 1:6).  This is a mystery but relates to the fact that the
               gospel is known by men’s spirits even if in the flesh they have never heard it (Rom
               1:20, 10:18).  This does not detract from the fact that it is good for the gospel to be
               physically preached in obedience to Jesus and heard (Mark 16:15, Rom 10:14-17)
               but only the spirit of a man can receive the gospel anyway (Rom 8:5, 10:18, 1 Cor
               2:14) .  Likewise the dead that have not heard the gospel are preached to in either
               Heaven or Hell (Luke 16:22-31, 1 Pet 3:19-20, 4:6) but even they likewise had no

               excuse for not responding to it, when alive, as their spirits knew of it all the time
               they were alive (Rom 1:20).

               The Second Resurrection Process


               The end of the following verse which talks of the nations never learning war any
               more refers to the second resurrection period (Isaiah 2:4, 65:17-25 - second
               resurrection period, except verse 20 - first resurrection period).


               All those alive, but not Christians (Mat 24:22, 1 Thes 4:17 refers to alive
               Christians in both resurrections), die prior to the Judgement of the second
               resurrection (Rev 20:12-13). Spirits are included in this Judgement (2 Pet 2:4).


               The second resurrection includes the resurrection of everyone not already
               resurrected or changed (Job 30:23), i.e. it excludes those included in the Rapture of
               the first resurrection process (Rev 20:4-6). It includes the dead who have received
               a preaching in Hell or Heaven, after the rapture, whether or not they believed it
               (Rom 14:9, 1 Pet 3:19, 4:6) and the unbelieving dead before the Rapture (Rev
               20:12-15). All these and those included in the Rapture, that is everyone, then come
