Hello Charlie, the text of Rev 20 tells us (vs 4) the martyred saints lived and reigned with Christ for 'a' thousand years, and it also tells us the blessed and holy, those of the first resurrection (vs 6) shall reign with Christ 'a' thousand years. John also writes (vs 5) the rest of the dead...

Spirits of unbelievers in heaven have no conscience awareness they are in darkness and silence in unbelief! Heaven above the heavens is the habitation of God who is Spirit with His angels and whosoever has been born from above/again. Believers dwell in heaven through the Spirit of Christ in...

As Scripture tells us the spirit of every human being, whether dying in faith or unbelief, returns to God who gave it while every mortal body of flesh returns to the earth. Matthew 11:23 (KJV) And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty...

As I've already said, it is the physical body of Saul and his sons that shall be in graves, just as the mortal body of Samuel is. That is the part of all of them that shall return to the earth after death. The spirit that physically gives all earthly creatures the breath of life (makes them...

It is the spirit of every man that returns to God when our body dies. The spirit then will either have life/living soul, or in darkness and silence through unbelief. It is the spirit in man that gives them life. Without life from the spirit the body of man is in darkness and silence in the...

No Saul was not saved. Because he died without faith, he shall only live again when he is physically resurrected to be cast into the eternal lake of fire.

According to the Scripture the disciples saw a "vision" not physically living men. Matthew 17:9 (KJV) And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.

Samuel was telling Saul that both he and his sons would physically die the next day. Their physical body, like the body of Samuel would be in the grave. It is only the spirit not our flesh that returns to God after we physically die. The spirit of the unsaved dead shall be in silence and...

Acts 2:37 (KJV) Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? Acts 2:38-41 (KJV) Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the...

The purpose for being baptized in water cannot be a display of salvation, because many are baptized in water who have never turned to Christ for eternal life. I believe water baptism signifies obedience for outward membership within the covenant body of Christ in the same way circumcision of...

Christ, the living water is Spirit that became flesh, and though His Holy Spirit whosoever believes has eternal life. Has nothing to do with human birth (other than the fact humans must be physically alive to hear and believe Christ), because no human, not even Christ, possesses eternal...

When Christ speaks of entering into the Kingdom of God, telling mankind to enter there they must first be born of (living) water and Spirit, He tells us this is how we are born again. Just as being born of the Spirit is not natural, physical birth, so too being born (again) of water is not...

The prophecy began to be fulfilled through the birth of Christ. That's when the war in heaven between Michael and His messengers and Satan and his messengers, that has Satan and his demonic hosts being cast out of heaven and bound them to this earth began. (Rev 12:1-9) That marks the beginning...

Daniel 12:1-4 (KJV) And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that...

Perhaps it is you CTK who is committed to your theory! Because truly that is all you have, making your doctrine to be in error.

How do you prove from Scripture what you allege? Where can I find there will be 144,000 ethnically from all the tribes of the children of Israel chosen to be evangelists to preach the Good News for 3.5 years before the return of Christ? It's true I too have heard many different interpretations...

There is another problem you seem not to notice with your understanding of the 144,000 of all the tribes of the children of Israel. For these 144,000 to be a specific group from the tribes of the children of Israel ordained for a particular purpose at or near the end of days, they would have to...

The problem is that you do not PROVE what you allege. 144,000 as compared with the innumerable multitude is the remnant of Old Covenant faithful saints before the advent of Messiah coming to earth a man. Before the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the earth (four winds) there were but few...

This is opinion without biblical proof texts. While I agree that Rev & Dan speak of both things of heaven and earth, I don't believe the 144,000 should be interpreted as being on the earth since they are located in the heavenly realm of God after they have physically died. That is where only as...

Your replies are lengthy and contain much detail but fail to address the point I briefly make. Can you briefly respond to what I've said: "If the 144,000 literally represent God's chosen witnesses at the end of time physically preaching the Good News as Paul did in the first century, only...
