Berean Literal Bible
"and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To the One loving us and releasing us from our sins through His blood, and He has made us a kingdom, priests to His God and Father--to Him be the glory and the dominion to the ages of the ages. Amen."
King James Bible
"And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen."
Also that I noticed in the video, that may not have been pointed OUT; that is for CERTAIN, gave us a definitive time frame.
AND IT IS PRE-TRIB.
That is not only BEFORE HIS WRATH begins in Chapter 6, but put the Rapture BEFORE the LAMB is the only one worthy to open the SEALS.
So it is before the first seal is opened, before Chapter 6:16-17, and way before the TRUMPET JUDGEMENTS,
PERIOD!
The
US refers to the ASSEMBLY that JESUS CHRIST has Built, both O.T. Assembly and the N.T. Assembly now called the CHURCH, are already in HEAVEN, the TWO Folds became ONE FLOCK at the RAPTURE, which includes the 24 Elders.
Revelation 5:1-14 (YLT)
1 And I saw upon the right hand of Him who is sitting upon the throne a scroll, written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals;
2 and I saw a strong messenger crying with a great voice, `Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose the seals of it?'
3 and no one was able in the heaven, nor upon the earth, nor under the earth, to open the scroll, nor to behold it.
4 And I was weeping much, because no one was found worthy to open and to read the scroll, nor to behold it,
5 and one of the elders saith to me, `Weep not; lo, overcome did the Lion, who is of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, to open the scroll, and to loose the seven seals of it;
6 and I saw, and lo, in the midst of the throne, and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb hath stood as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the Seven Spirits of God, which are sent to all the earth,
7 and he came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who is sitting upon the throne.
8 And when he took the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell before the Lamb, having each one harps and golden vials full of perfumes, which are the prayers of the saints,
9 and they sing a new song, saying, `Worthy art thou to take the scroll, and to open the seals of it, because thou wast slain, and didst redeem us to God in thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation,
10 and didst make us to our God kings and priests, and we shall reign upon the earth.'
11 And I saw, and I heard the voice of many messengers round the throne, and the living creatures, and the elders--and the number of them was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands--
12 saying with a great voice, `Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive the power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing!'
13 and every creature that is in the heaven, and in the earth, and under the earth, and the things that are upon the sea, and the all things in them, heard I saying, `To Him who is sitting upon the throne, and to the Lamb,
is the blessing, and the honour, and the glory, and the might--to the ages of the ages!'
14 and the four living creatures said, `Amen!' and the twenty-four elders fell down and they bow before Him who is living to the ages of the ages.
John 10:14-16 (YLT)
14 `I am the good shepherd, and I know my sheep, and am known by mine,
15 according as the Father doth know me, and I know the Father, and my life I lay down for the sheep,
16 and other sheep {N.T. Fold} I have that are not of this fold{Last of the O.T. Fold} , these also it behoveth me to bring, and my voice they will hear, and there shall become one flock {At the RAPTURE} --one shepherd.
Most Christians do not know that JESUS never used the word CHURCH in HIS entire life here on earth. AND neither did the disciples.
So what did HE call us ? ? ? HE called us HIS ASSEMBLY, the same thing HE called true believers of the Old Testament.
Matthew 16:18 (YLT)
18
`And I also say to thee, that thou art a rock, and upon this rock I will build my assembly, and gates of Hades shall not prevail against it;
The word
CHURCH was not added to the BIBLE until, after the Believers became know as CHRISTIANS, after the Assembly of Believers got started in Antioch, probably near the turn of the First Century.
QUOTE:
How did followers of Jesus come
to be called Christians?
Apparently, Antioch, the capital of the Roman province of Syria (now within the region of Antakya, Turkey), was the location where "Christian" was first associated with early believers. "And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch" (Acts 11:26).
Obviously, the term is identified with the idea of being a follower of Jesus Christ. In classical times the followers of a leader would identify themselves by a descriptive extension to their leader's name (ianus). Pompey's troops were called Pompeiani, and Caesar's were referred to as, Caesariani. The Christianus (of Latin origin, and hellenized), was similarly viewed as the descriptive term of the followers of Christ.¹
However, Theophilus of Antioch, writing about 170 A.D. claimed that the term "Christian" was used, not as much because of association with Jesus, but because it was derived from the Greek word for oil, CHRISM, which means anointed — and "the followers of Jesus appeared to be anointed with the Spirit."² Chrism is also the Greek word used for Christ, and means anointed one.
