To Rightly Divide the Word

Literally according to the King James Bible if Christ returns now what will happen today?

According to the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible, if Jesus Christ
were to return today, the events would unfold as described in various
prophetic passages. Below is a detailed breakdown with supporting verses:

1. The Second Coming of Christ

• Visible and Glorious Return:
  • Matthew 24:30 (KJV): “And then shall appear the sign of the Son
    of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and
    they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power
    and great glory.”
  • Revelation 1:7 (KJV): “Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every
    eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of
    the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.”

2. Resurrection of the Dead

• Believers Raised to Life:
  • 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 (KJV): “Behold, I shew you a mystery; We
    shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 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.”
• Judgment of the Unrighteous:
  • John 5:28-29 (KJV): “Marvel not at this: for the hour is
    coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And
    shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life;
    and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.”

3. Judgment of All Nations

• Separation of Sheep and Goats:
  • Matthew 25:31-32, 46 (KJV): “When the Son of man shall come in
    his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the
    throne of his glory… And these shall go away into everlasting
    punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.”

4. Establishment of God’s Kingdom

• Millennial Reign:
  • Revelation 20:4-6 (KJV): “And I saw thrones, and they sat upon
    them, and judgment was given unto them… and they lived and reigned with
    Christ a thousand years… This is the first resurrection. Blessed and
    holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second
    death hath no power.”

5. Renewal of Creation

• New Heaven and New Earth:
  • Revelation 21:1, 4-5 (KJV): “And I saw a new heaven and a new
    earth… And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there
    shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be
    any more pain: for the former things are passed away… Behold, I make all
    things new.”

6. Immediate Global Impact

• Universal Recognition:
  • Philippians 2:10-11 (KJV): “That at the name of Jesus every
    knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things
    under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is
    Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
• End of Human Rule:
  • Daniel 2:44 (KJV): “And in the days of these kings shall the
    God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed… it shall
    break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for
    ever.”

7. Gathering of the Elect

• Rapture of the Church:
  • 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 (KJV): “For the Lord himself shall
    descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and
    with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 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.”

8. Judgment of Satan and His Followers

• Final Defeat of Evil:
  • Revelation 20:10 (KJV): “And the devil that deceived them was
    cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false
    prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.”

These verses from the King James Bible outline the dramatic and
transformative events that would occur if Christ were to return today,
emphasizing judgment, redemption, and the establishment of God’s eternal
kingdom.

My thoughts

Item 2- I Corinthians 15:51-52 is tied to the Rature as it said in 1 Thessalonians4:18-17

[1Th 4:16-17 KJV] 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 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.

“to meet the Lord in the Air”. So he never landed on earth.

Asked AI about Item 2

After 30 minutes it came back with this.

1 Corinthians 15:51-52 (KJV)Isn’t this apart of rapture?
Yes, 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 in the King James Version (KJV) is often
associated with the concept of the “rapture,” though the term “rapture”
itself is not explicitly used in the Bible. This passage is a key text for
understanding the idea of believers being transformed and caught up to
meet the Lord at His coming. Here’s the verse and its connection to the
rapture doctrine:

1 Corinthians 15:51-52 (KJV)

“Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 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.”

Connection to the Rapture:

1. The Mystery Revealed:
   Paul describes this as a “mystery,” meaning a divine truth previously
   hidden but now revealed. This refers to the sudden transformation of
   believers at Christ’s return.
2. “We Shall All Be Changed”:
   This speaks of the instantaneous transformation of living believers,
   who will receive glorified bodies like those of the resurrected dead
   (Philippians 3:21).
3. Timing: “At the Last Trump”:
   The “last trumpet” is often linked to the final events preceding
   Christ’s return, as described in other passages like 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, which explicitly mentions the rapture of believers:
   “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 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.”
4. Implication for the Rapture:
   While 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 does not use the term “rapture,” it aligns
   closely with the idea of believers being suddenly transformed and taken to
   meet Christ at His return. This passage, along with others like 1
   Thessalonians 4:13-18, forms the biblical foundation for the doctrine of
   the rapture.

In summary, 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 is a key text that supports the
concept of the rapture, describing the sudden transformation and gathering
of believers to meet Christ at His second coming.

So in the end, it agreed with me and the Bible.
