How many people are going to be raptured? I tend to believe that the 144,000 are the only ones spared from Tribulation, based on my own interpretation of Revelation. [/quote] There are multiple theory's with the 144K. 1) Dispensationalism: Divide the church and Israel. 2) Replacement Theology: The Christian church replaces Israel as God's chosen people. 3) Grafted-In: The Gentiles and Native born Israel are grafted in together to be God's people. 1 and 2 are false. 3 Is supported by Hosea, Acts, Romans 11, Ephesians 2, Ephesians 4, Ezekiel 36, Jeremiah 31. [/quote] :judethe: So the clear words of the Bible aren't good enough for you then? the Sanhedrin, in Israel, are making plans for all this... complete with the red heifer for the temple cleansing [color=blue][b]Rev 7:1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. [/color] Rev 7:2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, [color=blue]Rev 7:3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. [/color] Rev 7:4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. [color=blue]Rev 7:5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.[/color] Rev 7:6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand. [color=blue]Rev 7:7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand. [/color] Rev 7:8 Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand. [/b] [/quote] amazing to see, isn't it... those that want to quote scripture twist what is so clearly stated into their own belief system... [/quote] If it is so clear maybe you want to explain what she is trying to show? That the 144K are part of Israel? That is a given. What is the point here? [/quote] [/quote] So are you saying the 144K are the priesthood reintroducing the temple and the temple laws and feasts? [/quote] I believe the 2 witness proclaim the gospel of the kingdom, (the King is coming) the priesthood picks right back up the moment this dispensation of grace is over (rapture) ... law returns, the temple and the fulfillment of GODS prophesy toward Israel ... this entire dispensation of grace was a complete mystery until Jesus, from heaven, revealed it to Paul... GOD created the heaven and the earth... ALL the promises to Israel are earthly... "thy kingdom come, thy will be done [b]ON EARTH [/b]as it is in heaven... all the promises to the body of Christ are heavenly... "But our [b]conversation is in heaven,[/b] from whence also we look for the Savior, even the Lord Jesus Christ" Christ IS NOT divided... same Christ, revealing a way for all peoples of the earth to experience salvation since the nation of Israel rejected the priesthood... [/quote] In revelation there is no physical temple. Also in Rev 20:6 it looks like the priesthood is not reinstituted until the millennium after the 1st resurrection. [i] Rev 20:6 Blessed and holy is he [b]who has part in the first resurrection[/b]. Over such the second death has no power, but [b]they shall be priests of God and of Christ[/b], and shall [b]reign with Him a thousand years.[/b] Rev 21:22 But [b]I saw no temple in it[/b], for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.[/i] [/quote] ...of course there is... what do you think the antichrist desecrates 3.5 years into tribulation... the Sanhedrin already have the plans and a pure red heifer has been born, first time in 2000 years, for the cleansing... that's what I believe... [/quote] Did God grant them permission to just build a temple on their own? Where does it say the antichrist/man of sin desecrates the temple? The temple of God is man. Why do you think there is no temple in Revelation? God dwells with man and man is the temple. [i]2 Thes 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; [b]so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God,[/b] shewing himself that he is God. Know ye not that [b]ye are the temple of Go[/b]d, and that the [b]Spirit of God dwelleth in you?[/b][/i] [/quote] Since when does modern Israel do what God wants them to do? They will build the Temple on their own. And God will allow them to do so because He has told us it will happen. The Antichrist's desecration of the temple is in Daniel. The temple referred to in Daniel and in it's corresponding place in Revelation is a physical temple, one that people can walk inside of, and one that the Antichrist will set up his own talking image inside of. There is no reason to try to allegoricize the temple here. The temple on the temple mount in Jerusalem does exist in Revelation. Israel is in rebellion to God right now, and have been so for almost 2000 years. They will build the temple again because that is what then want to do. Your verse there 2 Thess 2:4 proves the point: He who opposes and exalts himself is the Antichrist. What does he do? He will set himself up as if her were God. And he will sit in the temple of God. He will not sit inside his own body. Neither will the Holy Spirit dwell in his body, as his body is not the temple of God. So if the Antichrist's body is not the temple of God, what will he then sit in? The Antichrist will sit in a physical temple of God. Will God receive this temple and their sacrifices? No, of course not. Will this stop the Hebrews from building it? No, that will not stop them. They are deluded into thinking they will be doing the proper thing, when in fact they will be blaspheming God instead. It seems you may be conflating 1 Corinthians 3:16 with 2 Thess 2:4. Since Yahshua(Jesus) died for our sins and was resurrected, and we are saved, now our bodies are the REAL temples of God. Things have changed since the cross. The Hebrews unfortunately do not understand this. They do not understand the bible's dispensations. They are still trying to live in the dispensation of the Old Testament instead of the new dispensation of the New Testament. They will build a replica of the Old Testament's last temple when they should be proclaiming their real Messiah. And if they did so, they would learn what the temple of God really is now. But their eyes are still veiled for now. So you could say that the Antichrist will sit in a fake physical temple of God that will sit on the temple mount, at or near where the last physical temple sat. The Antichrist doesn't care that it will be fake. He just wants it built so that he can desecrate it and demand to be worshiped in it. That will not be pleasing to God either, but yet it will happen. How do I know? Because the bible says so. [/quote]

Do not listen to the wolfs in sheep's clothing who have crept into the flock and hope to steal the blessed hope away from you.
1Th 4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep
.
1Th 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1Th 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
1Th 4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
You have still been blessed with a little time
so don't waste it.
Turn to the Lord now while you are still able and He will be quick to hear you. But don't take all day about it you could be hit by a bus tomorrow and then where would you be.
