Entry Form Closed (Heaven Citizen)

Has established by the Bible the approved number of the citizen of the Kingdom of God

is 144,000 All are saint.

Well if this is so, then what are we expecting when the rapture take place?

So I feel we should relax a little and consider this one life on earth.

Yours is an interesting theory. can you please expound on this?

This must be a Jehovah Witness
Re: Entry Form Closed (heaven Citizen) by Seun(m): 3:20pm On Feb 23, 2007
When the book of Revelations was written, 144,000 seemed like a very large number. That's why John chose it.

Well, there were other ways of expressing numbers greater than that:

Revelation 9:16
'And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.'

That's 200,000,000 - which is by far more than 144,000 by a difference of 199,856,000.

You run away?
Re: Entry Form Closed (heaven Citizen) by Ndipe(m): 10:34am On Feb 26, 2007
Those 144,000, erroneously claimed by some religious folks, like Jehovah's witness as the numbers of those who would go to Heaven is absolutely unBiblical. Read the link below.

http://www.gotquestions.org/144000.html
Re: Entry Form Closed (heaven Citizen) by Gold(m): 4:38pm On Mar 13, 2007
The 144,000 is not a limit to how many people will be saved, but rather is just a select group of Jewish believers called to proclaim God’s message during the end times.[quote][/quote]

Egbon if the above is correct then why are we still striving to get a ticket
Re: Entry Form Closed (heaven Citizen) by Seun(m): 9:09pm On Mar 13, 2007
After further research, it appears as if I am probably wrong since there were 1 million Christians in the first century:

rev.14.4
these are the ones who were not defiled with women for they are virgins. these are the ones who follow the lamb wherever he goes these were redeemed from among men being FIRST-FRUITS to God and to the lamb.

they are the FIRST,not the only ones.

@Image123

Was that a sting of sarcasm or my imagination

It is more blessed to give than to receive.

. . . The gist doesn't end on earth?

Whats that suppose to mean (i.e. . . . The gist doesn't end on earth?)

References below off KJV

Revelation 21:1:


And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.


Isaiah 65:17:


For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former things will not be remembered or come to mind.


2 Peter 3:13:


But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells


Matthew 5:5:


Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.


Psalm 37:11:


But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

If you read the complete of those books you mentioned, especially Peter and Revelation, you'll have noticed that this earth does not continue forever. The gist doesn't end on earth friend. And a new earth should suggest to you what it says, a new earth

New earth? Tell us something else we dont know. No one was contesting there'll be a new earth . . .

My brethren, in essence, back to earth after the honeymoon at Heaven of the bride and Bridegroom . . .

@Fhemmmy

Marry? Marriage would have gone past it's shelf life

Do angels marry?

I doubt the unperishable new bodies would have reproductive organs

Conundrum.

Are angels quantifiable? - but a third of the angels mutinied

Angels will be judged by us - Quickening spirits judging ministering spirits

What is the number of man to date from creation? . . .
Re: Entry Form Closed (heaven Citizen) by Image123(m): 10:55pm On Apr 08, 2010
What makes you to think that believers will be coming back to earth after heaven? I guess you need to read up the gist to the end. Don't you know this earth is going to be destroyed, or what are you on about? There's life after earth, the gist continues.

@Image123

Knee jerk responses, huh?

Retrace my posts. The koko for the umpteen time, there will be a new earth and heaven

and believers will be back to earth after the heaven honeymoon . . .

Who made mention of this earth? If you dont know why do you ask somebody
