I look, longingly, for the Blessed Hope of all believers, i.e., the literal, bodily return of our Lord in glory. At that coming I expect all graves to be opened. All the wicked from every generation, along with the wicked then living, will be judged and cast into eternal torment. Taking part in the judgment will be the saints from all ages; for all believers will have been signalled by the trump of God (1 Thess. 4:16,17) to be caught up to meet the Bridegroom in the air. His royal train will not stop in mid-air, but he will bring his (raptured) saints with him as he continues on to earth. Immediately after the cleansing judgment of all the earth, every believer, of every generation, will cast his crown at Christ’s feet as all believers enter into the Eternal State with him. Even so come, Lord Jesus.

And you just described the post-tribulational view right before the millenial period. Good job! I tried to convince you of this last year.
Alex,
“the literal, bodily return of our Lord… all graves will be opened… (including) all the wicked… (and) the saints from all the ages….
This in not a premil but postmil return of the Lord.
I thought the post was clear enough, but maybe it was not. I am a partial preterist / amillenialist. I will explain more in a later post.
I was actually trying to be sarcastic. I have read your statement…can’t say I agree with the whole post-mil thing, but that puts us in good company…doesn’t it?
Thanks anyway.
gotcha, ol friend.
