The Lord Descends From Heaven 1 Thes. 4, No Rapture, P. 4

The Lord Descends From Heaven 1 Thes. 4, No Rapture, P. 4, is a continuation of the study of 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. Here we discuss the background for the symbols, types and shadows of the O.T. apocalyptic imagery used in 1 Thessalonians 4.

The emphasis is temple typology where the people of God ascend the temple mount to meet with God. This is evident from the cosmic mountain temple of the Exodus and will become more clear as we progress through the topic and the antitype in 1 Thes. 4 where the imagery finds its fulfillment.
