It strange that I take the Word for what it says, and you make a bunch of stuff up and think you have understanding. Have you ever thought about just accepting what is written and not making anything up. In other words, the 144,000 that we are told are 12,000 from each tribe are just that. We don't need to dream anything up and get off the path.
Have you ever thought about what Jesus said and what I have repeated unto you countless times? Jesus told his Disciples that he spoke unto them in Parables so hearing they would hear and seeing they would see, but THE WORLD hearing would not hear and seeing would not see !! And somehow this goes right over your head brother. Yo also PICK & CHOSE, its OK for the 10 Virgin Brides not to really be Virgins, or Women, but stand for the COMPLETE CHURCH, buts its not OK for the 12 x 12 x 10 x 10 x 10 or 144,000 to be COMPLETE Israel who repents, or 5Million Jews who repent, just as Zech. 13:8-9 tells us, we see 1/3 repenting, you just do not want to accept these facts. You do not want to see that the book of Revelation is a giant code book, because you already built "YOUR UNDERSTANDINGS" around other things.
Psstt, WHO CARES, as long as we receive truth. The only difference between you and I is after 30 years I was able to say, Lord, I am WRONG on many, many things, show me YOUR TRUTHS, and it seems that you can not ever say, I am wrong, so God can not show you these things that He has shown me, you have too much invested in YOUR UNDERSTANDINGS. If you can not understand God doesn't chose those that get saved, but receives them by FAITH ALONE, then you may think that the 144,000 is an ACTUAL NUMBER, I guess, even though you have enough horse sense to understand the 10 Virgin Brides are not really 10 Virgin Women !! God doesn't chose PERFECT NUMBERS, He accepts ALL who come unto Him, thus the 10 Virgin Brides = 2 Billion people AND the 144,000 = 5 Million or so Jews because 1/3 repent in the very end times, as Zech. 13:8-9 shows us. The reason ALL Male Virgins are used is because God chose Israel first. God married Israel, Jesus will soon marry his bride the Church. So, its only DREAMING THINGS UP when you can't grasp it, the 10 Virgin Brides which = ALL Christendom, or 2 Billion is OK right? Wrong, both are FACTS. Just because you want to pick and choose, that is not how God works. You have and never will answer my point on the 10 Virgin Brides because you know it throws SHADE on your answer via the 144,000 it makes you look dodgy. Which is why I HAMMER you with it time and again. BOOM ###.
The Church is in heaven before the seals are opened. Try accepting what is written, it's right there to read. Just like all seven seals do not have to be opened for the 1st seal to happen. This is just another thing that you have made up that does not agree with the written Word.
YET............Jesus says this in verse 14, it evades all of your senses it seems.
Matt. 24:14 And
this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and
then shall the end come.
{{ 70th Week, this fulfills the Time of the Gentiles calling }}
I know the Church is in Heaven, the 24 Elders are a STAND IN for the Church, they have on Crowns as promised in Rev. 2:10, White Robes as promised in Rev. 3:5 and sit amidst God's Throne as promised in Rev. 3:21. But it only happens AFTER Matt. 24:14 because WE THE CHURCH take the Gospel unto all the Nations, that is the Mantel God has given unto the Gentiles !!
Or the Time of the Gentiles.
All 7 Seals must be opened before the Trumpet Judgments Fall (God's Wrath) It is on you that you can't understand Jesus is Prophesying what is about to come when he opens the Seals in Rev. 6. But you do understand Joel 2:31 is a Prophesy don't you? But Jesus can not Prophesy via the 6th Seal !! It should dawn on you that Rev. 8 is the Asteroid Impact that brings all this to pass, but alas, no, you already had an IDEA so this real truth can't be truth because it doesn't match "YOUR IDEAS" or what you learned from "OTHER MEN" and even via your protests, you know why I understand this all came from other men? Because I heard all of this stuff long before you did brother !! The fact you can't MATCH Joel 2:31 AND Seal #6 up to the Fourth Trump is utterly amazing.
Joel 2:30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
31 The
sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come. 32 And it shall come to pass, that
whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and
in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call.
{{ In Zech. 13:8-9 its 1/3 or 5 Million Jews/Israelites
}}
Rev. 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a
great earthquake(Asteroid Impact); and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; 13 And the
stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs(Satan is CAST DOWN at the 1260 and chases Israel for 1260 days, in Joel 2 it cites DELIVERANCE), when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and
every mountain and island were moved out of their places(Asteroid Impact). 15 And
the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men,
and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16 And
said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: 17
For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? (1260 days)
Then in Trump #1 we see the Fire that burns the trees and grasses (Houses) in 1/3 of the world or in the two Americas/New World. In Trump #2 we see THE IMPACT. In Trump #3 we see the Poisonous Fallout or Wormwood that poisons the fresh waters in the New World (1/3).
Then we get the Sun and Moon going Dark in Trump #4, this is the Matt. 24:29 MIDDLE OF THE WEEK (1260) event. This is the Zechariah 14:1-2 MIDDLE OF THE WEEK (1260) event also. This is the Day of the Lord as Malachi 4:5-6 says will come just after Elijah calls Israel unto repentance !! This is the Day of the Lord spoken of by Jesus in the 6th Seal !!
Rev. 8:12 And the
fourth angel sounded, and
the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars(Smoke filters the SUN LIGHT, making it Darker);
so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.
So, you not understanding the 6th Seal is Jesus FORETELLING this coming Day of the Lord event that matches Joel 2:31 AND Jesus' 6th Seal Prophesy is on you sir. Granted many others are in error also, but the Lord shows me His deep secrets, just as he showed me in a Vision in 1986 that the
"Man of Sin is Here" who knows why God chooses whom he choses, but He does what He does. My calling is my calling. You are not called unto Prophecy or you would see truths when presented unto you. You only see your ideas brother, you can not get past them, so God can not use you via Prophecy.
And yet it never occurs to you that the 4 horsemen of the Apocalypse are the beginning of sorrows in Matthew 24. The fifth seal is the great tribulation. Then the 6th seal is the coming of Jesus AFTER the tribulation and BEFORE the wrath of God. Its right there, step by step and you can't see it. Totally puzzling. So simple and yet you can't see it.
No they are not, this is nonsensical, we see the Birth Pangs starts in the Disciples time, he says to his Disciples they will KILL YOU. And you can not put the TIMELINE STAMP on when that starts just Wow !! That came from other men, I saw it long before you ever did, in the early 80s. I had to disprove it myself long ago. The 5th Seal happens during the 70th week, but BEFORE the Great Tribulation starts via the Trumpet Judgments, so Jesus opens the Seals in the Presence of the Pre Trib Raptured Saints, but you can't understand that Matt. 24:6-14 is the Church Age Saints dying, and the Disciples being told they would all be hated, and killed !! Nor can you get that the Church is the only entity that takes the Gospel unto the whole world or Nations, after we are Raptured an Angel takes this mission over, see Rev. 14:6 !! Again, the reason God can not use you on Prophesy is your ideas are ALL IMPORTANT, so you can't hear His truths !! It is not your calling brother. The 5th Seal FORETELLS of the Martyrs of the Gentile Remnant Church, who get saved during the 70th week, but it can only happen after the 1260, after Satan gets cast down, as seen in Rev. 8, after the Asteroid Impact, via the 1260, God's Wrath comes with the Asteroid Judgment. This escapes you it seems. You like to dabble, your zeal is there but you lack knowledge.
