Those in the innumerable number had dirty robes.
They are the 5 foolish virgins of mat 25.
They were left behind.
No, Rev. 7:14 says they have been washed by His blood.
prior to their arrival all martyrs were kept under tge altar UNTIL THEIR NUMBER IS COMPLETE.
? Martrys throughout history have gone directly to be with the Lord at the moment of their death.
Now, the innumerable number martyrs, are in the general population, indicating the martyrs are fulfilled.
REV. 7:9 are not an instanteous multitude of multitude who were are killed simultaneously, this is the Rapture Church.
the ac arrives conquering. Also conquering believers.
We are not conquered at any time by Satan, he is already defeated. He conquers reprobate, those with his mark. Any people during his reign who refuse the mark are certainly persecuted and may be martyred - but Dan. 12 says some make it to see day 1335.
it says power is given the AC to overcome the saints.
True, but physical control does not mean he takes their souls.
it says ALL not in the book recieve the mark. It says even prisoners recieve the mark....even children received it.
Correct all who are not in the book, not elect are reprobates.
they all die. All left behind die....or receive the mark.
No, Daniel 12 says blessed are thise who make it to day 1335. The GT is over at this time.
And if there was no one left behind, who would repopulate the earth (since all the raptured have received new bodies that Do Not procreate) during the Millennial Kingdom? Isaiah 11 says infants are born. After the MK there is 2nd resurrection for all those saints who missed the 1st and all mortals who lived during g rhe MK.
It is not biblical for a mid 7yr trib, AOD, a Jewish harvest, and a church rapture at the same time.
Many events happen at the 7th trumpet, Rev. 11:15 ( which would be Mid- Trib./ Pre-wrath).
1. The mystery of God is accomplished and revealed (Rev. 10:7)
2. The kingdoms of the world become the Kingdoms of the Lord, so technically he begins His reign and the AC/ Satan' reign is over, ( that's 1260 days
3. the dead are judged,
4. rewards are given.
5. Temple in Heaven is opened (meaning since on earth the Church was the Temple and when they were raptured, the temple is now in heaven instead.
6. The 7 Bowls of wrath are released. This happens at day 1260 and so from that time to day 1335 is the wrath period within the GT.
"From the time that the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination that causes desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days. 12 Blessed is the one who waits for and reaches the end of the 1,335 days". Dan. 12:11-12
because you have kept the word of my testimony. I will also keep you from the hour of trial about to come upon the entire earth."
That message was deliver to Philadelphia, the faithful church. "The seven churches of Revelation existed in the 1st century but were also symbolic representations of the choice types throughout the Church Age".John MacArthur.
Hence, others who were not faithful (virgins who did not have oil in their lamps) had to further go through the fire, more testing.
Jesus indicates a worthy vs unworthy selection to be in the rapture....we see this same, 'worthy vs unworthy ' , in the virgin parable)
The oil represented the Holy Spirit. So many people claim to be Christians are not born again and will be shocked when they miss the rapture; but will be saved, just have to go through it.
