The 144k are firstfruit Jews.
Taken from the earth , ahem, GATHERED TO HEAVEN.
so we very factually have; firstfruit Jews, in heaven, during the trib
No winepress there at all.
When YE
HEAR PEACE AND SAFEFTY will the pressure be most unbearable?
Or when he is winning over the nations with flatteries?
Or when he does what none have done before him?
Or the 'oneness' the world is feeling, watching the deceiver perform miracles?
Or when seeing others happy and prosperous, the pressure to join in with the world be too much?
Or does the whole world worshiping him as if he were GOD, become the '
way worse than Paul' part?
Maybe it is all the deception and lying signs and wonders he will be performing for the world at that time.
These spiritual wars can be quite trying
on your FAITH. It is not doubt, it will be hard to witness people 'spiritually dying' all over the world by watching turn to worship the antichrist.
When the whole world is in unison, under a one world order, under one god and his 10 kings who use all their power together for one purpose with supernatural powers how will the continual 'slaughter' of Christians look to the world?
SEALED NOT RAPTURED, SEALED IN THEIR FOREHEADS BEFORE THE TRIB
Revelation 7:1 And after these things I saw
four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, HOLDING THE FOUR WINDS OF THE EARTH that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3 Saying, Hurt
not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees,
till we have SEALED the servants of our God in their foreheads.
4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed:
and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
BEGINNING OF THE LORDS DAY HERE ON EARTH
Revelation 14:1 And I looked, and, lo,
a Lamb stood on
the mount Sion, and with him
an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
2 And I heard a voice
FROM HEAVEN as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder:
and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders
COME BACK TO EARTH WITH US - REMEMBER HEAVEN AND EARTH WILL NO LONGER BE SEPARATED BY THE 'SEEN VS UNSEEN' WORLD. ALL WILL HAVE BEEN CHANGED INTO SPIRITUAL BODIES***
and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they
which follow the Lamb whithersoever HE goeth. These were redeemed from among men,
being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
REMEMBER THE KINGDOM, THE THRONE, THE RULE AND REIGN OF THE LORD ON THE LORDS DAY IS ON THE EARTH. THE KINGDOM WAS FIRST PROCLAIMED UPON THE EARTH, THE WORD IS BEING SPREAD ON THE EARTH, THE TEMPLE WILL BE ON THE EARTH, THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH WILL COME TO THE TEMPLE, HIS FEET TOUCH DOWN UPON THE EARTH, IT GOES ON AND ON.
DO NOT BE DECEIVED BY ANY MAN OR ANY DOCTRINE THAT TRIES TO TELL YOU HE IS NOT COMING BACK TO RULE AND REIGN ON THE EARTH.
Revelation 14:6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people
WHAT WILL 'PRIESTS' BE DOING FOR THE LORDS DAY? TEACHING THE WORDS OF GOD.
SATAN IS SEALED AND BOUND - BUT IS SET TO BE RELEASED AT THE END
KINDA LIKE SATAN IS IN HEAVEN RIGHT NOW - TO BE CAST DOWN AT THE END
AS WE TODAY ARE BEING TOLD HE IS COMING - DURING THE LORDS DAY WE WILL BE TEACHING HE IS COMING. BABYLON IS COMING TO PROVE THEM JUST LIKE BABLYON CAME AND PROVED US.
7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him;
for the hour of His judgment is come and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
WORSHIP GOD, DO NOT BE DECEIVED, THIS TIME IT ENDS WITH THE GREAT THRONE JUDGMENT AND THAT IS FINAL.
8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
SO ONCE AGAIN, SATAN WILL BE RELEASED FOR A SHORT SEASON, WILL GO ABOUT TRYING TO DECEIVE THE WORLD AGAIN
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
SAME WARNINGS WE ARE BEING GIVEN TODAY THAT WE WILL BE GIVING THAT DAY
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out
without mixture into the cup of HIS indignation and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb
THIS END (FUTURE) IS MUCH DIFFERENT BECAUSE THIS ENDS WITH JUDGMENT AND ALL DECISIONS ARE FINAL. THERE WILL BE NO MORE DAYS OF TEACHING AND PREACHING THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL. EVERYONE WHO MAKES IT, KNOWS IT.
11 And
the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have
no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
WHO IS OUR REST? THEY NEVER RECEIVE OUR REST
12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
GODS WILL IS ALL COME TO REPENTANCE. WE WORK THROUGH ALL THESE TIMES WITH GOD SO THAT IN THE END, HIS WORLD IS THE WORLD HE CREATED, WORKED AT, AND SUFFERED FOR TO BRING HIM PLEASURE. TRUE LOVE FREELY GIVEN IS A PROCESS. A LONG AND DIFFICULT PROCESS FOR 'SOTTISH' CHILDREN TO GO THROUGH. IN THE END, THERE HAS TO BE REWARDS AND PUNISHMENT. THOSE WHO RECEIVE THE 'REWARDS' DO SO MANY TIMES BECAUSE THEY RECEIVE THE 'PUNISHMENT' FROM THOSE WHO WILL BE JUDGED TO DEATH BECAUSE OF CHOOSING TO PUNISH THEIR FELLOW MAN.
THERE HAS TO BE JUSTIFICATION TO PUT SOMEONE IN THE LAKE OF FIRE, THERE HAS TO BE JUSTIFICATION TO GIVE SOMEONE REWARDS. WHAT SEEMS GRIEVIOUS TO US NOW WILL ONE DAY FEEL LIKE ALMOST NOTHING. REMEMBER
FOR THE JOY SET BEFORE HIM...FOR WHAT WE WILL BE GIVEN, WHAT IS BEING ASKED IS NO BIG DEAL. AND HE ISN'T EVEN ASKING US TO GO THROUGH OR DO SOMETHING HE HIMSELF DIDN'T DO. WHY I HATE PRE TRIB. IT IS THEFT AND DECEPTION IN EVERY DIRECTION. IT IS CLEARLY SEEN FOR ALL THE LIES BY THOSE WITH EYES, WHILE THE DELUSION IS STRONG FOR ALL OF THOSE WHO ARE IN THE WRONG.
13 And I heard
a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write,
"Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord
from henceforth
Yea, saith the Spirit, "that they may
rest from their labours; and their works do follow them".
TAKING ANOTHER LOOK AT THE RETURN OF CHRIST AS KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS AND EVENTS THAT TAKE PLACE WITH THAT RETURN -
14 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap;
for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.
17 And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
18 And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth,
and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
20 And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.
