The following is still true! No musings of pre-tribbers will change that!
Its not true. We can place each of the three resurrections of Revelation at a specific point in the events which show there is a need for a sequential chrology, not a generalized and spiritualized symbology the Catholic Church teaches:
The resurrection of the Two Witnesses is reasonably placed at the mid-point of the Tribulation because the Abomination of Desolation is not likely erected during their forty two month ministry.
The First Resurrection ("first" referring to the resurrection unto life, contrasted with the resurrection unto damnation, not first in sequence because we see at least two resurrections before this one, Christ and the two witnesses, all three glorified), which takes place at the end of the Tribulation, just after Christ's return.
What is reasonably thought to be a general resurrection takes place, as is clearly written in Revelation 20, one thousand years after Christ's return.
You know it, I know it, and everyone who reads Revelation without the Catholic view knows it.
Your doctrine misleads and keeps people in reliance of an interpreter, a mediator, which at its heart has the same organization which popularized the notion that God has not meant for the average plowboy to handle, read, and understand His Word.
That's why He gave His Word. So we can know that which He has revealed.
I recommend to all that they read the original preface of the KJV, where this mentality was opposed.
Folks the statement that one cannot track the sequence of Revelation is the worst teaching one will ever embrace.
Those who follow the sequence of the Prophecy are not bound by man's doctrine and are not afraid to answer, not just the simple questions, but the harder questions.
So don't let popish people deceive you. Find out for yourself, folks. If after study of Revelation itself, you don't see the Prophecy begin to become understandable, and like all Prophecy emerge in Biblical harmony, well...you will.
God bless.
