    Who are the 144,000

    Except Peter says that all the prophets spoke of the days they were in conjunction with those not listening to Him would be cut off and therefore they would have no inheritance to be restored to. Acts 3:21Heaven must take Him in until the time comes for the restoration of all things, which God...

    Who are the 144,000

    Again, Acts 3: 22For Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers. You must listen to Him in everything He tells you. 23Everyone who does not listen to Him will be completely cut off from among his people. If one is cut off, one has no more...

    Who are the 144,000

    24Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not come under judgment. Indeed, he has crossed over from death to life. 25 is the Amen to 24 which is the Amen to 23. 25Truly, truly, I tell you, the hour is coming and has now come when the...

    Who are the 144,000

    Are you saying the following isn't true? Revelation 7: 4And I heard the number of those who were sealed, 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel: 5From the tribe of Judah 12,000 were sealed, from the tribe of Reuben 12,000, from the tribe of Gad 12,000, 6from the tribe of Asher 12,000, from the...

    Who are the 144,000

    Firstfruits is always used in the singular. Think of it as the first batch. Christ is THE firstfruits, not a firstfruits. Romans 8:23 N-AFS GRK: αὐτοὶ τὴν ἀπαρχὴν τοῦ πνεύματος NAS: having the first fruits of the Spirit, KJV: which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, INT: ourselves the...

    Who are the 144,000

    I would argue that the 144,000 are the Jewish remnant that Paul said were presently being saved. Romans 9: 27Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: “Though the number of the Israelites is like the sand of the sea, only the remnant will be saved. 28For the Lord will carry out His sentence on the...

    Does mass Martyrdom begin during the great falling away

    Here are some scriptures that you need to reconcile with your understanding. Deuteronomy 29: 29The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, so that we may follow all the words of this law. God then reveals more and more...

    Putting chaplains in public school is the latest battle in culture wars (Wapo)

    My point was in regards to post #2. That our children are being seduced into the "self gratification" of what the Satanic Bible calls Satanic sex. This particular "self gratification" leads to myriads of harmful side effects such as diseases, adultery, unwed mothers, abandoned children, child...

    Putting chaplains in public school is the latest battle in culture wars (Wapo)

    I'm not talking about an individuals struggle with sin, after all, I've had my own struggles. I'm talking about the ideology that embraces sin, calling good evil and evil good. The difference between the Bible and the Satanic Bible. When Biden placed a gay pride flag on the White House, he is...

    Putting chaplains in public school is the latest battle in culture wars (Wapo)

    It's the promotion of it which is leading unaware and innocent children into a life of utter despair. It is a spiritual condition called sin. It's not a biological condition. Pretending that it is natural and healthy and something to be embraced is a lie. To be sure, Anton Lavey, who wrote...

    Putting chaplains in public school is the latest battle in culture wars (Wapo)

    I guess I wasn't very clear. I am referring to the infiltration of the LBGT into our schools and into our government, to the point that even the president places their flag at the capitol. Christ called the first century Jews the synagogue of Satan as He likened them to Sodom and Egypt. My...

    What do you believe the infiltration of the LBGT... is all about. It's the reason the Church of Satan is calling this "the Age of Satan". It comes right out of their Satanic Bible as Satanic sex.

    'I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you’

    There's an excellent series by Francis Shaeffer along those lines. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IB3Qqj5M2k I believe that the curse was specifically towards those who curse Abram. We have the promise of blessing, and becoming a blessing to all. "...in you shall all the families of the...

    'I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you’

    Until dispensationalism came along, I don't believe anyone thought it meant Israel. Here are some views of pre dispensational scholars. https://biblehub.com/commentaries/genesis/12-3.htm It's kind of bizarre that any Christian would apply that to the modern antichrist state of Israel...

    Anyone else have a unique eschatology?

    My eschatology is based on the fact that there is no such thing as a temporary "church age" I base that on the following scriptures. Isaiah 9: 6For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor...
