I have never seen anyone twist scriptures in such a convoluted fashion as you do.
You didn't even know about 1Kings 19:18 until the other day I posted it ...... and now you are trying to teach that the 7000 are some future people in some future event or something
i dont think your intention is to be a false teacher ...... I think what is happening is that every time some weird interpretation comes to your mind you think it is true.
Whatever the reason..... you are losing credibility at the speed of light.
Oh what pride of the flesh we are displaying here!!
I have taught on the 1kings for YEARS for God teaches me and I certainly have not ever read anything from you on it. So please do not be so prideful false pride that is to think that I learn anything or need to from you.
Do you know what it means to blaspheme the Holy Spirit?
If it seems that the verses and things I say are hard for you to swallow, this may be the reason....
1 Cor 2:14
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
KJV

All who die apart from Christ will be thrown into the Lake of Fire. All who die in Christ are saved by grace. Everyone in the future you call a "devout Jew" will be thrown into the Lake of Fire.
The 7,000 who came out of their graves as Jesus resurrection after the sin debt was paid to release them from death are alive unto this day as the Bible says they are and THEY are devout Jews in Jerusalem
who will be saved by grace not becoming part of the body of Christ, but having the written Word of the Letter. They are the first fruits. And if they had already died and then came out of their graves and given new FLESH, then they did not enter into heaven with Jesus, nor would they go back down into the grave after God put His spirit in them as Ez 37 said He would. These will die in the earthquake in Rev 11:13 just after the two witnesses go up and just before the body of Christ is birthed and caught up. God has not rejected the natural Jews from coming unto Christ, but they must receive Christ since Jesus' ministry absolutely Correct. Please read CAREFULLY this:
1 Kings 19:18
18 Yet
I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.
KJV
Rom 11:1-7
11:1 I say then,
Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew.
Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,
3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
4
But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
5
Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.{THESE ARE THE SAME 7,000 SOULS }
6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
7
What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded
KJV
Here they are just after the two witnesses go up the 7,000 die to their bodies in the earthquake just as they came out of their graves in an earthquake at Christ's resurrection:
Rev 11:11-15
11 And
after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
13
And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
14
The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
KJV
The birth of the son's of God come next and you will notice that after they see the mighty works of God being the EARTHQUAKE, they that are left in Jerusalem being called a remnant will not recognize their Messiah however they will go with the rest of the offspring VIRGINS who were not ready to make the heavenly hope and will go through the GT as they are learning to shed that flesh man being fed the Word.

Do you not have any sense? It's really hard for me to believe that somebody can be so obtuse regarding something so obvious.
Way to much flesh showing!! Get rid of it and ask God to open your ears to hear what the Spirit is saying to the true church.

The Kings verse is about 7,000 people in that time.
The Romans passage is about the Jews in Paul's day that decided to follow the Messiah, in Paul's time.
The Matthew passage is speaking about the Gentiles coming into the faith.
Please read that it is the same 7,000 souls for He prepares our spirits to be worthy, not our flesh.
Rom 11:1-5
11:1 I say then,

This is saying that even NOW the same 7,000 of OT saints which must be devout Jews for all the rest are in disobedience are the remnant of Old Israel and are alive to this day! For we do know that all since Christ MUST be born again, with the exception of the 7,000 remnant of OT.
