    Where is the Great Multitude from Rev 7:13,14

    First of all brothers, I'm going to carpal tunnel surgery tomorrow and would appreciate prayers for its success. I'll be out of commission for awhile and won't be able to post. As to your post, I can't agree with you. The resurrection is only called one thing and that's the "resurrection of...

    Where is the Great Multitude from Rev 7:13,14

    In Rev 11 the wrath came and it was time for the dead to be judged, Revelation 11: 15Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever.” 16And...

    Where is the Great Multitude from Rev 7:13,14

    All of that is assumption and never once stated in scripture. What is clearly stated is that the church at Philadelphia were the ones who had kept the word of His patient endurance and therefore were the ones promised to be kept from the "hour of trial/temptation". As to the phrase "the whole...

    Where is the Great Multitude from Rev 7:13,14

    I'm going by what John himself said and whom I believe is telling the truth. And that was 2000 years ago. 1 John 2:18Children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come. Therefore we know that it is the last hour....22Who is the liar...

    God's wrath is not a trial, it's a punishment. A trial is a test or temptation and anyone can suffer, and anyone can suffer great tribulation but not the great tribulation caused by God's wrath. peirasmos: Temptation, trial, testing Original Word: πειρασμός Part of Speech: Noun, Masculine...

    Where is the Great Multitude from Rev 7:13,14

    Jesus did open the 7 seals in Chapter 6:1,3,7,9,12 and Rev 8:1. And there's nothing about a book of names. Daniel 12:8I heard, but I did not understand. Then I said, “O my lord, what shall be the outcome of these things?” 9He said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed...

    Daniel tells us that the Messiah the Prince comes AFTER the 69 weeks which is the 70th week, and there's no amount of transforming the scripture that will turn that into a 7 year tribulation. The only time Daniel mentions "tribulation" is in chapter 12 and says it will be for a time, times and...

    So, "you" have been kept from the hour of trial for 2000 years by dying, whether in "your" sleep or by being tortured to death. So, what happened to "your" promise. And what's the difference between "the trial" and being tortured to death?

    Full Preterist Safe House

    Can I suggest taking a closer look at Isaiah 24. We have the word "earth" and we always tend to think of it as, well, the earth as we know it. However, the word earth in the bible has several meanings in both Greek and Hebrew. The challenge for us is to determine which meaning should apply...

    Well, look what He promised "you" here: Rev 2:9“‘I know your tribulation and your poverty (but you are rich) and the slander of those who say that they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. 10Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you...

    And it did occur just like He said it would. "I am coming soon". No disclaimer there either. Rev 3:10Because you have kept my word about patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell on the earth. 11I am coming soon. Hold...

    Despite your nullifying the meaning of "tribulation" in Rev 1:9, I'll take the Lord's word for it. And since He Himself said that anyone who doesn't believe in Him will be utterly destroyed from among the people of God. The modern pagan antichrist nation of Israel is no exception. Every...

    So, you don't even know what you're writing? I responded to the only verse you put in your post--1Peter 2:9. There's only one gospel and all the apostles were preaching the same gospel so all scripture pertaining to the 144,000 firstfruits redeemed from mankind are, of course, valid. What...

    We are all one body in Christ and therefore are all 'chosen" and made into a "holy nation.

    Where is the Great Multitude from Rev 7:13,14

    We are the current sons of Israel, the "Israel of God" as we became fellow citizens with the elect of Israel. The rest were "utterly destroyed from the people of God", with the Jerusalem of that day being cast out like Hagar's son Galatians 4. They had no more inheritance. That's why Jesus...
