The timing is NOT to be assumed simply because one prophetic passage is next to other prophetic passages in the same chapter, or connected chapters. However, thats a contradiction of scripture because other scriptures tell us that the first resurrection doesnt happen until the end of the Great Tribulation period, so the question then is, what does this mean in Luke when it says that pray ye therefore that you would be counted worthy to escape these things and to stand before the Son of Man?
