Image123:REVELATION 14 VS 2 AND 3 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth |

@fmk yes filled up if they think they are going to heaven to own houses, cars and bitche.s as they are accustomed to do it here and dancing hallelujah they are mistaken look at here bellowthe verse doesn't say that heaven is filled up, try again. Rev 14:1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Zion, and with him a hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. every child of God is born again, redeemed and follow the Lamb everywhere. Luk 9:23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. Joh 10:4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. Joh 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: Joh 12:26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honor. 1Pe 2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: |

Re: Only 144000 Persons Are Chosen To Ascend To Heaven by aletheia(m): 2:58pm On Sep 28, 2012 |
ijawkid:Every true believer is chosen to rule alongside Christ. . .as it is written: (Rev 1:6) And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. Does this verse allude to a set of 144,000 specific individuals? The book of Revelations is rich in metaphor, allegory prophetic language and eschatological imagery and a careful reading of the verses in context will show that the number 144,000 is allegory i.e (12 x 12 x 1000): the 12 tribes of Israel, the 12 apostles and 1000 - signifying completion. Also it clear that the 144,000 in chapter 14 is the same as that in chapter 7 where the names of their tribes are given. [b](Rev 14:1 [KJV]) And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. (Rev 7:4-9 [KJV]) 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;[/b] As we see from chapter 7; this list of the 12 tribes given in Revelation 7 does not correspond to the natural 12 tribes of Israel. . .thus tipping us off that this is not a listing of the physical descendants of Jacob who will go to heaven. Moreover notice the sequence of events: 1. "And I heard the number of them which were sealed:" As already pointed out: 144,000 = 12 x 12 x 1000, signifying the fullness and perfection of God's redemptive plan: Physical Israel & the Gentiles adopted in Christ into Spiritual Israel. What tips us off that the 144,000 is an allusion to Spiritual Israel is that the listing of tribes is wrong from the natural standpoint, both in terms of order of tribes and in terms of the names. 2. After hearing, John then sees: "After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands" So this great innumerable company stands before the throne and before the Lamb. Where is the throne? In heaven, isn't it? The 144,000 is actually a great multitude which no man can number. . .the 144,000 being symbolic of the perfection of God's plan in their lives. There is a message in Revelation 7 hidden in plain sight in the names of the sons of Jacob as written there. In the order listed these are the names: Judah, Reuben, Gad, Asher, Napthali, Manasseh, Simeon, Levi, Issachar, Zebulon, Joseph, Benjamin. Not only do we find that the names are not listed in order of birth or prominence but we find that Dan and the half-tribe of Ephraim is not listed. Biblical Hebrew names are not accidental and usually convey a message and are the message is given to us in the meanings of the names in Revelation 7. This is the message: 1. Judah = "I will praise the Lord" 2. Reuben = "He has looked on me" 3. Gad = "Granted good fortune" 4. Asher = "Happy am I" 5. Naphtali = "My wrestling" or "struggle" 6. Manasseh = "Making me to forget" 7. Simeon = "God hears me" 8. Levi = "Joined to me" 9. Issachar = "Purchased Me" 10. Zebulun = "Dwelling" 11. Joseph = "God will add to me" 12. Benjamin = "Son of His right hand" And so. . .notice what happens when the meaning of the names are combined, in the same order, into a paragraph: "I will praise the Lord for He has looked on me and granted good fortune. Happy am I because my struggle is forgotten. God hears me and is joined to me. He has purchased me a dwelling. God will add to me the Son of His right hand." (The words in italics are supplied to complete each thought.) |

truthislight:when Jesus comes with the saints as Jude and Enoch say, there will be people on earth that are not yet dead. These people will also reproduce for the 1000 year period. Another thing is that rulers have different level. e.g chairman, governor, minister, speaker, president are all rulers over one another in a way. Another thing is that ruling or reigning can actually be a state and not an act. |

truthislight: And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. Rev 5:9-10 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) Rom 5:17 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. Rev 20:6 |

ijawkid:Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? 1 Co 6:3 Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame. Pro 25:8 |
Re: Only 144000 Persons Are Chosen To Ascend To Heaven by truthislight: 3:43pm On Sep 29, 2012 |
aletheia: the Angels there mentioned are the fallen Angels, besides, this judginging of Angel is a passing phase and all the faithful still have eternity befor them after the judging, what or who will they rule over after the judgement? God's loyal Angels in heaven have not done any thing wrong that warrant their being judge. So, the question remains, who will "all" the righteous people going to heaven rule over? |
Re: Only 144000 Persons Are Chosen To Ascend To Heaven by truthislight: 3:47pm On Sep 29, 2012 |
aletheia: reign/rule over who? This should be a very simple question that deserved a very simple answer, why the run in circle? |

The problem is mmany of u think u've known all that needed to be known in the scripture forgetting thesame scripture said be careful when u think u stand less u fall, God hates pride and does not tale pleasure in it's practice, humble yourself before the holy spirit and be teachable less you become a vessel used by satan to mislead the young believers in christ - Remember the word of Jesus himself that it's better such a person ties a rock round his or her neck and dive into a deep ocean than to face God's judgement seat for such a crime. Like the Lord Jesus would say; whoever is not for me is against me, so the question is who's side are u realy on. Remember Jesus is coming back soon to reward every man according to his works and what he or she deserves. |
