Seems OP doesn’t understand the task I gave him instead he’s busy quoting me in some long epistle that’s of no benefit to me. OP please just do the highlighted and do not quote me until you do that else you get snubbed. DappaD: |
One assignment for the OP is to do the highlighted! DappaD: |
Been following for a while and at this point I think it’s clear OP just wants to deceive himself even after seeing his error, that’s why he’s refusing to highlight the definite article “ho” in the screenshot of Matthew 22:32 he’s been pasting everywhere. Should someone lecture the OP on what a definite article means? It’s pretty clear and simple. Once there is a definite article ‘ho’ or ‘ton’, you know it’s referring only to a distinct person meanwhile the absence of it shows the wide range of persons who could answer that title/name. “ho Theos” = “ton Theon” = “the God” = JEHOVAH, which appears at the Matthew 22:32 and John 14:1 Whereas the absence of the definite article in John 1:1c already tells you that Logos is NOT the same person as “ton Theon” in John 1:1b. There are also no definite articles at Exodus 7:1 and John 10:34 which further buttresses the point that Jesus is not the true God whom he prayed to at John 17:3. Unless OP can show us the definite article “ho” or “ton” that appears before “theos” in John 1:1c before we’ll agree that he knows what he’s saying. |
MaxInDHouse:While that is true, also remember that talk given by Bro Splane in the Saturday’s afternoon session of the convention. I’m confident that you can make wise decisions my brother. ![]() |
LOL! My brothers still doing this silly thing of defending the organization when there’s no need to. Jehovah’s pure worship has been elevated above every other form of false worship for many decades, that’s why you see these mudslingers who have no identity on the ground trying to hurl stones. Well as for me I’m 1000000% sure that the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses are the representatives of the anointed remnant of the woman’s seed who was described at Revelation 12:17. The dragon(Satan) is the mastermind behind the intense attack, these humans are mere puppets in the hands of the Devil, that’s why they can’t pinpoint a single crime that was committed by GB. Best we can do for them is pray Jehovah doesn’t them accountable for their error(Luke 23:34), because when their eyes will actually clear is when they realise they got it all wrong as they face this dilemma during the great tribulation: “Hide us from the face of the One(Jehovah) seated on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb(Jesus), because the great day of their wrath has come, and WHO IS ABLE TO STAND?”—Revelation 6:16,17; Luke 21:26 |
Vickyvice:Hello? I was referring to the OP as in who takes him and his noisemaker-cohorts seriously. ![]() I myself am proud to be one of Jehovah’s Witnesses currently serving Jehovah with a whole heart & doing my utmost in the service to my God Jehovah. Psalm 110:3 |
Is there anyone out here in these Nairaland streets who still takes these ones seriously? ![]() |

“I heard a loud voice in heaven say: Now have come to pass the salvation and the power of the Kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ because the accuser of our brothers has been hurled down who accuses them day and night before our God ... On this account be glad, you heavens and you who reside in them! Woe for the earth and for the sea, because the Devil has come down to you, having great anger, knowing that he has a short period of time” —Revelation 12:10,12 Does the person described above look like someone who is ready to ask for forgiveness? |
“Jehovah is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart”–Psalm 34:18a(ASV) I do not know either you or your dad but I know for sure that when you accept the comfort from the God who supplies it in abundance, you’ll be able to go through this. 2Corinthians 7:6 Death is indeed an enemy that needs to be eradicated. 1Corinthians 15:26 That’s why the true God has promised that you will see your loved one again in the resurrection. Isaiah 26:19, John 5:28 |
MaxInDHouse:Meanwhile there is yet another interesting question asked by MaxInDHouse. It does not always have to be about arguments and fights, let’s all take knowledge from God’s Word. So can anyone following the thread attempt the question? Note that we’ve moved on from the topic of this thread since we have already identified that the “great multitude” represents a large group of faithful humans serving God who will survive the great tribulation and live forever on earth. Psalm 37:11, Revelation 7:14 So now let’s figure out if they’re the same as the people mentioned in Revelation 14:6? C’mon all those who came to share their thoughts on the initial topic should have a thing or two to say about this? |
Thank you all for your contributions and this is where we will draw the curtain as regards the topic since the riddle has been solved. |
ONCE AGAIN! DappaD:The entire Bible is inspired of God’s holy spirit(2Timothy 3:16) so if Scripture is compared with Scripture, the truth about certain concepts will become clearer. So further investigations in the Scriptures which will show whether the “great multitude” of Revelation 7:9 are spirits in heaven or human on earth is stated at Revelation 7:15 & 17 vs. 15: “And so they stand before the throne of God and worship him in his temple day and night. The one who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them.” vs. 17: “The Lamb in the center of the throne will be their shepherd. He will lead them to streams of life-giving water, and God will wipe all tears from their eyes” It is interesting to note the highlighted words so as to know the identity of this “great multitude”. The reason being that those words were found later in the same book of Revelation. Now look at this Scripture. Revelation 21:3-4 “I heard a loud voice from the throne say, "See, the tent of God is among humans! He will make his home with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them. He will wipe all tears from their eyes, and there will be no more death, suffering, crying, or pain. These things of the past are gone forever.” Now take note of the highlighted words in Revelation 21:3-4 and compare them to Revelation 7:15,17 that talks about the “great multitude”. Whom does the Scripture say God will spread his tent over and those whom God will wipe out every tear from their eyes? Revelation 21:3 has answered the riddle: HUMANS! that is, flesh and blood are the “great multitude” of Revelation 7:9 who will inhabit the earth and live forever on it after the wicked will be gone during the great tribulation. Psalm 37:10,11; Revelation 7:14 Thank you all for your contributions and this is where we will draw the curtain as regards the topic since the riddle has been solved. |

Kayberg:That’s why I stated: DappaD: |
Okay so they will go through the great tribulation and then be transported to heaven only to come back to another earth? ![]() Kayberg, God said he will NEVER again destroy the works of his hands on account of man again. Genesis 8:21 If God can say that, then those other Scriptures need to have different meanings. 2Peter 3:16 As for the last statement, Isaiah 26:19 says about the resurrection: “Your dead will live; their bodies will rise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust! For your dew is like the dew of the morning, and the earth will bring forth her dead.” Concerning the resurrection, which of the earths will bring forth the dead? The one on which the said dead people lost their lives or another one? Kayberg: |
** |
At least if the Bible should ever say the earth will be destroyed, it would be sort of understandable because of the wickedness of men but the Bible does not say such, rather it says it is the wicked ones who will be destroyed(Psalm 37:10, 2Peter 3:7c) and that the earth will remain forever. Psalm 78:69, 104:5, 119:90, Ecclesiastes 1:4 But now what could the heaven where God resides have possibly done for God to destroy that place with fire? This is where Kayberg lost it.MaxInDHouse: |
Thank you for your contribution, Kayberg. Can we reason on this or do you want to argue? Does not the statement: “These are the ones who come out from the great tribulation” mean they are going to survive the great tribulation or does it mean they will escape it and not face it? If we’re going by the highlighted, then how can the “great multitude” come out of what they were never inside before? Does the statement at Acts 7:10(Berean Bible) : and [God] rescued him[Joseph] out of all his tribulations, mean that Joseph escaped all the tribulations and problems or did he survive it? Food for thought! Moreover, according to the same 2Peter chapter 3 which you’re quoting, the verses 5 & 6 says that the former world(heavens and earth) were destroyed, yet are we not living on that same earth? Or did God create a new one? Peter said that there are some Scriptural concepts that would be hard to understand(2Peter 3:16) so when you see a statement like “heaven and earth will pass away”, do not take it literally since both term can mean something else. So be rest assured, the earth is going no where as God promised after the Flood of Noah. Genesis 8:21 see also Psalm 104:5, Ecclesiastes 1:4 Kayberg: |

Getting to find out the identity of this “great multitude”, involves knowing where they are located. Revelation 7:9,15 mentions they are stationed before the throne of God. Does that mean they are in heaven? Evidence from within the Bible shows this is not so. Isaiah 66:1a says, “Thus saith Jehovah, Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool:”—American Standard Version. Normally, we all know what a throne and footstool are. But notice that God said that the earth is his footstool? And where is the footstool located? Before the throne of course! https://www.smp.org/size/files/c490c524b684a9c1129bc49b3ff28a8d/Isa66_1_ThroneFootstool.jpg.540x.jpg Hence, the “great multitude” standing before the throne means they are on earth, which is God’s footstool. Next is to find out whether these group of persons are really humans or whether they are spirit beings, because being on earth is not enough to deduce whether they are humans or spirit beings. |
Over the decades & centuries, several persons including those yearning for truth have been puzzled by the identity of the people in this Bible verse, Revelation 7:9 which reads: “After these things I saw, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, out of every nation and of all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, arrayed in white robes, and palms in their hands;”—American Standard Version Some people are of the opinion this set of persons are Christians who later go to heaven and become spirit beings, others are of the opinion that this group of persons are faithful servants of God who will survive the great tribulation and be ushered into a new world so that the righteous ones would dwell forever on earth. But before we get to know their identity, i.e. whether they are spirit beings in heaven or humans on earth, I think it would be best to say from the onset that this Scripture also serves as a thorn in the side to those one-man-mopol-Christians . Reason being that this Scripture aptly describes an earthwide brotherhood(1Peter 2:17, 5:9), a unified group with the same line of thought (1Corinthians 1:10) who are serving their God shoulder to shoulder. Zephaniah 3:9Follow me as we find out the identity of the “great multitude”. It’s an open discussion so comments and contributions are encouraged. Feel free to air your views even though they may not be sound enough. Note: I do not respond to trolls or those only wanting to argue. |
1Sharon:If that was ALL what you could get from my write-up, by all means suit yourself. I don’t usually reply trolls so consider yourself lucky. |
MadeINchenzen2:I strongly disagree. It was never God’s plan for humans to be alienated from him. In fact, he wants humans to draw close to him and he himself took the initiative to make that happen. James 4:8 The first man Adam had the opportunity of working hand in hand with God himself that’s why God told him at Genesis 1:28 “Be fruitful and become many, fill the earth and subdue it, and have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving on the earth.” Already, God had given him the assignment of naming the animals according to what suited him(Adam). Genesis 2:19 There were even an abundance of minerals in the Garden of Eden(Genesis 2:11,12) So Adam would need God’s guidance on how to properly use and harness those minerals for improving the standard of living. That was God’s plan from the beginning and as time went on, Adam would still need guidance on so many other matters that was why the tree of knowledge was put in the garden(Genesis 2:17) so that Adam and his future progeny would know that despite all they would achieve on earth, there was still someone superior to them who would set the standards of right and wrong amongst humans so that there would be no chaos. But as most people are familiar with that story, we know that everything came to an abrupt halt when Adam and Eve disobeyed a simple instruction and instead brought sad and disturbing consequences on their offspring. Genesis 3:1-19, Romans 5:12 That doesn’t mean God abandoned his earlier purpose for mankind and the earth. Isaiah 55:10,11 (that’s why he sent his Son to the earth, but that’s a topic for another day). The truth is that if everyone on earth listened to God’s commands as stated in the Bible, our problems would be 99% solved. Isaiah 48:17-18 If God was working directly with humans on how to properly use these minerals on earth 100%, trust me there would be nothing like pollution and global warming. That’s why God has promised to put an end to those who are misusing the earth’s natural minerals/resources and who are ruining the environment in the course of greed. Revelation 11:18 The essence of my write-up is to put it to you that humans need guidance from God on how to live their lives and care for the environment, because it is not in us to direct our steps on our own. Jeremiah 10:23 |
Re: If God Answers Prayers, Why Is Nigeria This Bad In 2021 Despite All The Prayers? The simple answer is that people do not know what prayer stands for and what they should pray for. Prayer is a way of communicating with a deity/supreme being. In this context, it is the worshipful address made to the Creator of the heavens and the earth. Psalm 5:1 The Bible makes it clear that God only listens to prayers that are in harmony with his will and purpose(1John 5:14) and as outlined by Jesus on the Sermon on the Mount, the popularly known “Lord’s Prayer” gives clues on what we should say when we pray. Matthew 6:9-14 The verse 10 says in essence that we should pray for God’s Kingdom to come to the earth since it is in harmony with God’s will So what’s the essence of praying for a country to get better when God has already promised a better world in the future on earth by means of his Kingdom? Psalm 37:11, 72:7-8, 12-16; Daniel 2:44; 2Peter 3:13; Revelation 21:1-4 |
