Who are the saints after, the Rapture of the Church?

After the Rapture:  The dead in Christ have risen. Those who are alive (in Christ) are caught up to meet with Christ in the air. The Church is raptured. The Church is delivered from Great Tribulation. The Church has escaped devastation, Judgment, and the wrath of an angry God. Revelation chapter 5 tells the story.

New Testament saints have joined with Christ (the bridegroom) and the Church (the bride of Christ) are taken up into Heaven. The earth is now taken over and Satan takes authority on the Earth. The Anti-Christ - the man of sin - the son of perdition steps in. The Holy Spirit, the body of Christ the church, and all of its members have gone up. This sanctification through the Spirit is a cutting away or a severing of the Church from an unbelieving world. No longer does the Holy Spirit's presence hinder or with hold the Anti-Christ from stepping in.

Satan's Kingdom begins. God's Judgment and Wrath begins. The seals are opened. The vials are opened. The woes are loosed. Strong delusion within humanity begins. The actual witness of the bride meeting the bridegroom in Heaven has happened. The Jews (an object of God's plan) rejected their Messiah in the Old Testament. The Jews rejected the Promised Kingdom and their King during the earthly ministry of Christ. Now the Jews have rejected the Raptured Church, the body of Christ visibly. The Church has been taken up. The Church has been sanctified. God's witness to the Jew (as prophesied) becomes Great Tribulation and Judgment upon Earth like in the days of Noah.

Death, Hell, and fire break loose on the earth for seven years. These events and these occurrences actually happen. This is only a prophetic glimpse of what takes place after the Rapture of the Church. The saints of God are with Christ in Heaven. In marriage, the Bride and Bridegroom have united in the Throneroom.

Over the years many have asked the question about Salvation "after the Rapture of the Church". One must understand the first four chapters of Revelation deals with Rapture. Revelation chapter five speaks about the Raptured saints in Heaven. Then John goes on to mention how God's Judgment and wrath are ministered upon the earth after the Church is Raptured. Then Revelation chapter six and seven gives a different picture of the saints of God. These saints are classified as Tribulation Saints. Tribulation Saints are saints of God who have kept faith in Christ to the point of death.

Here is a picture of Tribulation Saints from John's Revelation.

Rev 7:13-17...And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

These saints are saints of God who turn to Christ during the Great Tribulation...after the Rapture of the Church has already taken place. The Tribulation is primarily recognized as a Jewish Tribulation.

Revival

A revived heart burns, lives, and testifies to the power of God through Christ. Revival is a work of the Holy Spirit in the human soul that helps man to realize who Christ is. Revival is for both sinner and saint alike. By stirring the inner man through preaching, revival helps any man to recognize and obey the presence of an invisible God. A revived heart enables Christ to remove the cloak of secret sin. Revival is an awakening… refreshing…or move of the Holy Ghost that stirs man to have a better consciousness of Christ. Revival is the Spirit’s work that convicts the world of sin and turns men from unrighteousness. Revival offers a better standard of life through the personality of Christ. Revival enlightens the heart of man to the revelation of Christ and His Spiritual body, the Church. Revival fortifies the faith of man through evidence given from the Holy Scriptures. Revival is a living and active move of the Spirit of God… within the human soul. Revival brings honor to Christ through Gospel preaching and the work of the ministry. A revivalist tells the lost world about Christ. Revival brings accountability to those who accept Christ for the forgiveness of sins. Revival shows man who he is in the presence of Christ. Revival ministers to human needs. Revival brings glory to a living Christ in the Throne Room. Revival roots and builds up members of the Body. Revival regenerates, sanctifies, and renews the human soul.

Holiness of heart and conduct

Holiness of heart produces holiness of conduct. When the Spirit of Holiness rids man of all unholiness...a life in Christ begins. Only the power of a resurrected Christ can cleanse the unbelieving heart from sin and unrighteousness. When God's cleansing power takes place in the heart...the fruit of holiness flows through the make-up and conduct of a believer in Christ.

Rom 6:21-22...What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness,

Hiding the Word of God in the heart

Scriptures in the Old Testament taught - the Word was to be "hid" in the heart so that Jewish people would not sin against God.

Psalm 119:11...Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

 The Word of God was the Law and Commandments. The Torah was the first five books in the Bible. The 613 Commandments were the standard of God given to Jewish people to keep Israel in "obedience" to the God. In that day and hour before the death of Christ; before Grace flowed from the Cross at Calvary; and before the Holy Spirit developed the Church, the body of Christ...The commandments were "learned and lived" by the Jewish people as a act of faith in God. In order for Israel to be holy they were to learn, study, and meditate the Law and Commandments contained in the Torah. By doing such Israelite's were able to grasp and absorb the standards of God's Law - which forbid sin and sinful conduct. God's Law pointed out sin and told the recipient "to do" or "not to do" certain things that were outside of God's standard.

James 2:10...For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. 

If the Word was hid or absorbed into the heart it was able to keep man from sinning against the Law of God. Sin was and is a violation to the Law of God. The Law and 613 commandments given to Israel on Mt. Sinai were the greatest set of morals ever written...before Christ died. After the death of a Savior on the Cross....Grace came and allowed God's Holy Spirit to provide a moral standard of holiness much greater than the holiness of Law. It was the holiness of the Spirit of God that writes the Law of God - upon the the tables of a believing heart.

Hebrews 10: 15,16...Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before, This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; 

In the Old Testament Israel worked and hid the Word in their heart to keep the standard. In the New Testament we hold on to Christ and by doing such we live the standard of God...according to the Spirit of holiness. A blessing of the New Testament and the power of God's Grace. As the Apostle Paul stated,
 
Romans 6:14...For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under Grace.

Moses lifted the serpent - God lifted Christ

• When Moses lifted the serpent to display God's deliverance from Egyptian religion and bondage - all of Israel knew God's operation and blessing was the greatest blessing in all the land of Israel. Great miracle and victory as Israel passed through the Red Sea - then came the giving of Law - as they entered into the land of Canaan!

• When God lifted up Christ and displayed a Savior on the cross - He revealed to all the world the greatest blessing in the history of humanity. Great victory produced by the Grace of God thus flowed from Calvary.

John 3:14...And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
