Question
Will Christians who have been raptured reign with Christ on earth during the 1000 year reign?
Also, do you have, or can you tell me where I might find a chart that breaks down when things will happen during the end times? (Judgement Seat of Christ, etc)  Thanks!

Answer
Blessings and thank you for your questions.

Yes, all of the body of Christ will reign with him during the 1000 year reign.  Now the question becomes when is the rapture?  There are two good views.  The first is the pre-tribulation view.  This is the most popular today but it is only a 200 year old view.  All of the early church and the church fathers believed in a post-tribulation rapture.  If you believe in a pre-trib rapture then you have to believe that there are 2 second comings. 1 before the tribulation and 1 after.


Some sites with good charts:
