An example of “the dead in Christ” are the disciples that will be in the first resurrection. And Matthew 24 (this gospel of the kingdom) is survival instructions which did not apply to the disciples (or any of “the dead in Christ”) and meant exclusively for those believers that will be alive to...

At the resurrection, there will be two groups of believers 1) the dead in Christ 2) those believers that never tasted death. I see "This gospel of the kingdom" as "rescue" instructions for those believers that will be alive at the time of Christ return. These "end time believers" are...

Agreed. Do you think that Gentiles are excluded from the rescue at the end of the age? Are you planning to go when the time comes?

I see you use the CJB. What do you use as a reference book? Also, do you see the rescue which you conveyed to me as the message in "this gospel of kingdom" (Matthew 24:14)?

I am intrigued by your use of the term "rescued." I see that the dead in Christ shall be raised from the dead at the first resurrection. Basically these believers have been spared from being cast into the lake of fire and the second death. Zechariah 14:1-5 is a description of Christ coming...

Shalom Retrobyter, I have always understood your definition of "rescued" I am interested in doing a word study. Can you give me some background and references please. Thanx In Yehoshua, Guy Smith

Shalom Retrobyter, This shield will go up the first day of the GT and last for the 1260 days of the GT. Just as God protected Israel in the wilderness with a "cloud and fire", He is going to also protect Jerusalem (Isaiah 4). I can't discount your position on Judah. The problem is that 2/3...

Shalom Retrobyter, You stated: "Being justified by God" is the same as "being born again." "Being saved" is the same as "being rescued" or "being delivered!" My response: I contend that the gospel promoted by Paul is the Gospel of "Being justified by God". The Gospel promoted by Christ...

Shalom Retrobyter, I contend that Zechariah 14: 1-5 is a description of the only ones "rescued." Just as God provided Noah with divine survival instructions, God has provided end time believers with divine survival instructions to be "rescued." I also contend that all unfulfilled prophetic...

Shalom Retrobyter, I agree with this and had held this position for 30+ years. You stated: Tell me, if you had ... say ... three sons asleep in a house and the house caught fire, which one would you rescue? That's an unfair question, right? Wouldn't you want to rescue ALL of them?! Say now...

When I first started this thread I was sincerely at a loss as to what was meant by the term “all.” I have since found an answer which works for me and I would like to share what I have found. God’s promises are not exclusive to just the tribes of Judah and Levi, but rather to “all” 12 tribes...

Hello Arnie, You have prompted me to go back a read Romans 9.

Shalom Retrobyter, Paul stated, in most English translations of Romans 11:26, that ALL Israel will be saved. Romans 11:26 and in this way all Israel will be saved. As it is written: “The deliverer will come from Zion;he will turn godlessness away from Jacob. However, he clarified in Romans...

Shalom Boaz, You stated: The question is who really are they... My response: Who they are is irrelevant. You stated: ...and what is there mission ? My response: The two witnesses, prior to the start of the GT, will be calling the “remnant” to the place-of-refuge. At the first resurrection...

Shalom Arnie, The Bible identifies eight (4 men + 4 women) that survived the flood. Just “as the day of Noah,” the Bible also identifies the number of believers that will survive the coming tribulation and be alive at Christ advent. That number is 144K males and the females are identified as...

Shalom Retrobyter, Is it possible that the only males on Mount Zion described in Zech 14:1-5 will be the 144K? In Yehoshua, Guy Smith

Shalom Retrobyter and Quantrill, I appears that we are discussing the same subject, however, we seem to be saying something different. I believe that, within the scriptures, there are two messages to those called: 1. The plan of salvation which applies to all believers throughout time. John...

Shalom Retrobyter, I agree wholeheartedly. You could not have said this any better. In Yehoshua, Guy Smith

In Revelation 14 the 144K are seen standing with Christ (at His advent) on Mount Zion in Jerusalem. In Zech 14:1-5 Christ (at His advent) comes to protect half the inhabitants of Jerusalem. Wouldn't it be safe to say that some of these inhabitants of Jerusalem (at that time) would be male and...
