I believe that these verses pertain mostly to salvation being sealed by God. Regarding the plague of torment of 5 months duration only those who have received the mark of the beast will be in torment. The tribulation lasts for 7 years and there is no mention in Revelation of a sealed church that does not experience it. It is obviously that the church is not protected during this period as those that refuse the mark will be put to death.

Revelation 13:15
He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.

This does not sound like a sealed church being divinely protected by God during the tribulation but rather just the opposite.
My KJV Holy Bible Says (Should Be Killed), a suggestion, not a mandate.

Your unidentified quote states (To Be Killed) a completely different interpretation.

It's Satan's desire presently to kill all Christian's, ain't happening. Just as it ain't gonna happen during the tribulation

The God powered (Two Witnesses) in Revelation 11 are gonna be the boss during the 1,260 day tribulation, plague after plague as often as they will!

Revelation 13:15KJV
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

Quote was from NKJV. The context of the verse from KJV dictates that those that should be killed were in fact killed. We are in agreement in regards to the Two Witnesses though.

The problem is the wrath of God coming on the earth.. its the whole earth. Lot "as long as you are here I can do nothing". Lot could go and hide. But whats coming is on the whole earth and all in it. There is no place to hide.

Then your taking verses in Rev and trying to apply it to the Church. After Chapter 3 in Rev when was the Church talked about again? And yet here you are trying to say something that is no where written. Now there are 144,000 that were sealed. Those will not be touche as the word says. If we back up Christ told us we will be WHERE He is. Please share WHERE is Christ now? I go to prepare a place for you.. He went back to His Fathers house to make us a home so WHERE He is we will be. He said again WHERE I go you know and how I go you know.

He can't lie. And then caught up to met Christ in the air to be with Him forever. And then.. whats coming. All the wars in history do not compare to whats coming. If you can not live for Christ today you never will then.

Are you now suggesting only 144,000 Jews represent this (Israel) God is concerned about?

Who is this (Israel)?
Are you trying to imply they are Gentile believers as well? Which Tribe are you from?
No, I'll stick with Scripture.

I believe the verse reflects all those throughout time that have been demanded to bow before images, and we know how the story goes :)

Daniel 3:8-18KJV
8 Wherefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and accused the Jews.
9 They spake and said to the king Nebuchadnezzar, O king, live for ever.
10 Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, shall fall down and worship the golden image:
11 And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth, that he should be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
12 There are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego; these men, O king, have not regarded thee: they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.
13 Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Then they brought these men before the king.
14 Nebuchadnezzar spake and said unto them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, do not ye serve my gods, nor worship the golden image which I have set up?
15 Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made; well: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands?
16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter.
17 If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.
18 But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.

I Agree, Straight Up!

We Ain't Gonna Bow To Your Image, Do As You Please, True Soldiers For God Almighty!

Applies Exactly The Same To The Antichrist And Tribulation, However The (Two Witnesses) Bringing A Plagues As Often As They Will, Faith Induced!

The church won't suffer the Tribulation at all in my readings.
2nd Thessalonians tells us that the day of tribulation won't occur until the man of lawlessness has been revealed. But we in the church will be gathered up before all that transpires. Yet, not until that man of lawlessness appears will it happen.

Then there is 1st Thessalonians 1: 10 and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus our deliverer from the coming wrath.[s]
FOOTNOTE
s
The coming wrath. This wrath is an important theme in 1 Thess 5:9 For God did not destine us for wrath[k] but for gaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.

The blessing during the Tribulation is that sinners can still find their way to faith in Christ.
Those that are saved during trib are killed for there faith. Their blood seals them.

When does the verses below take place?

Who is looking up and lifting their heads?

Luke 21:25-28KJV
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

Matthew 24:29-30KJV
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

Are you suggesting the Twelve Tribes Seen Below Isn't The Church? :eek:

James 1:1KJV
James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.

Revelation 21:10-12KJV
10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
11 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
12 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:

What Tribe Do Jews In Israel Belong To?

There isn't a hint in world history as to where the Twelve Tribes Currently Are?

One thing I do know, the Church is the (Israel) of God, Children of the promised seed, The Twelve Tribes scattered abroad.

(They Which Are The Children Of The Flesh, These Are Not The Children Of God)

(Ethnic Jews) Aren't God's Children, Simple, Clear, Easy To Understand (y)

Romans 9:6-9KJV
6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.

James 1:1KJV
James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.

If the Church is the Israel of God, thn which tribe do you belong to? (that's my third time asking).
God knows who is who, (even Jesus had a mixture of Jew and Gentile).
When the Church is rapture God will once again turn to fulfill His promises to the Fathers.

Romans 11:28 KJVS
[28] As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.

The Sealed Church Will Go Through The Future Tribulation, Divinely Protected By God!
  • Gods wrath/judgement will not come upon the "Sealed Believers" during the tribulation.

    Revelation 9:3-5 below shows that the plague of torment for 5 months, will only be brought upon those "Not Sealed" by God, it was "Commanded"!

    All believers in Jesus Christ are "Sealed" by God the Holy Spirit, the believer is protected, Eph 1:13, 4:30


    Ephesians 1:13KJV
    13 in whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

    Ephesians 4:30KJV
    And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

    Revelation 9:3-5KJV
    3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
    4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
    5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.

  • Below we see God's divine protection, if the world try's to harm a believer, they in return will be harmed!
Whenever I see verses strung together to make a point (as above) I raise the red flag of BEWARE!

Stringing Rev. 9:3-5 together with those verses in Ephesians does not prove anything. Though I might agree in general with the conclusion, I do not agree with this sort of method of proof.

Yes
The hebrews of JESUS'S day were not pure breed.

The covenant Jews are still the covenant Jews.

Roman's is clear concerning their regrafting back into the vine.

Interesting concerning the 1st miracle at the wedding and in rev 14 ,both dynamics are "grapes"...not wheat or barley.

Jewish harvest is not gentile,but first covenant jews.

The gt is Jacob's trouble. Pressure on the Jews.
Harvest of the Jews.

There is no pre-trib rapture, a false teaching.

The Remnant Jew That Is Predestined And Chosen, Will Be Saved And Added To The Church

The Church Is The Israel Of God.

Chester the danger is when a person with a pre-determined bias uses (One Verse) out of context to build false doctrine, the cults are prime examples of this :unsure:

Example: Dispensationalism claims 1 Thessalonians 4:14-17 is a Pre-Trib rapture, then a 7 year tribulation on earth follows?

This teaching is false, (One Verse) out of context, because we clearly see in using the (Full Counsel) of God's word, that the event seen is nothing more than the (Second Coming) and (Last Day) resurrection of the believer.

(The Last Day Resurrection)

John 6:39-40KJV
39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

(The Last Day Resurrection)

1 Thessalonians 4:14-17KJV
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
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.
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:
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.
