[Admin disclaimer: Dee, from RR, informs me this post is taken out of context, because it uses comments from another one of her posts (apparently, there was a quoting error). However, I cannot see where this is - Dee has been helpful and tried to point it out to me, but I feel dense for not being able to see it. I am taking Dee's word for granted, but I'm also reluctant to remove the post altogether or lose the comments, so I am making a compromise by including this disclaimer :)]

I have really been pondering this over the last few months. As I understand it, the rapture happens, then tribulation, then the final battle where Jesus descends to earth for the third time, to destroy evil. I was wondering where this battle happens, and if we get to fight alongside Jesus. I have this image in my head of me getting raptured and when I step into heaven Jesus asking me (and everyone else who steps into heaven) if I would like to fight alongside him, because if there ever was (or will) be a just war, this is it. I would consider it and honour to fight in that battle. Does it say anything in the bible about this?

If we do get to fight how will it work, will we become mortal for the battle, then if we die, are resuerected after it is over? because it wouldn't be much of a fight if we were all imortal. We could then bring a La-Z-Boy and a snack and maybe a good book and just relax and kill the enemy as they come near and not have to worry about being killed.
