Hi guys, im gathering info for a topic im about to look into, but i want to know, from as many people as possible, whether they think paul or the apostles were aware of the things john saw in the revelation, prior to john having the vision. Reason i ask is that i know a lot of christians who believe the rapture is before the tribulation, well they dont think the "last trumpet" in 1 cor 15:51-52, they dont think its the 7th trumpet spoken of in revelations, becuase they think paul was not aware of the 7 trumpets, because john didnt have the vision of revelation until a number of years after paul wrote 1 corinthians? I am a strong believer that paul (and the apostles) were well aware, even in great detail of the things john saw in the revelation, prior to john himself having the vision, but i would really like your guys views cheers phil
