Yes, and Revelation 7 sets them (those of the ONE NATION [SINGULAR], Israel) in contradistinction to the "a great multitude... of ALL THE NATIONS [PLURAL]..." (both groups being "saved" persons [of that future specific time period (WITHIN the 7-yrs/70th-Wk)]... but not considered/called "the Church which is His body," who will have already been raptured out well before this point in the chronology).

Does anyone really need to ask such a question in good faith?
All twelve tribes of Israel are specifically named in Revelation 7, so that there will be absolutely no doubt that these are redeemed Israelites separate from the Church (Jews and Gentiles in one Body, a great multitude which no man can number). They are undoubtedly a part of the believing remnant of Israel, and a microcosm of redeemed and restored Israel AFTER the Second Coming of Christ.

Well, I think "Absolutely" was just directing his question to me because he didn't understand what I was saying about "firstfruit" (the two separate "firstfruit" of Lev23: the one in verses 10-12 [re: Jesus and "the Church WHICH IS HIS BODY" WITH [G4862 - syn - 'united with/identified with' Him (His "[ACTIVE] ascension" ON FF/His Resurrection Day)]; the other in verse 17 which I believe is the one associated with the Rev14:4's specific wording [re: the 144,000 (yet FUTURE)])
Do you know that many have you on ignore and actually talk about it.....do you know why? Because 90% of what you post equates to mouthy, flippant, blather.......you RARELY quote scripture, you rarely address the truth with honest dialogue and when you do, the word context, historicity, and genuine honesty with the words, verbs tense and common sense is no where to be found or even purchased....
Why is that?
