Mt. Sion: The resurrected body of Christ

[ATG]

First, Mt Zion is not Mt Sion.

Deu 4:48
From Aroer, which is by the bank of the river Arnon, even unto mount Sion, which is Hermon,

This is the only place in the OT Script speaking of Mt Sion, which is at Hermon. Therefore, Mt Sion is not Mt Zion, which is at Jerusalem. Neither is Mt Sion necessarily the Mt Hermon, because Hermon is called Sirion by the Sidonians, and Shenir by the Amorites.

The point is, that this is the only place in OT Script where Mt Sion is written, and in context of where Moses delivered the law of the Covenant to the children of Israel:

Deu 4:44
And this is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel: These are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Moses spake unto the children of Israel, after they came forth out of Egypt,

Deu 4:48
From Aroer, which is by the bank of the river Arnon, even unto mount Sion, which is Hermon, And all the plain on this side Jordan eastward, even unto the sea of the plain, under the springs of Pisgah.

Mt Zion at Jerusalem is not Mt Sion at Hermon, which is the northern place on this side of Jordan east, where the law of Moses was delivered to the covenant people of God, before entering to conquer the land promised on west side of Jordan.

 

[ATG]

Mt Sion is the resurrected saints at the Lord's return.

All OT Script stops speaking of Mt Zion altogether, and only speaks of Mt Sion in NT Scripture. Which is after the death of Jesus Christ, and thus ending all the Old Covenant law, temple, nation, and kingship of natural Israel, pertaining to this earthly Jerusalem and Mt Zion.

Now, there is only the New Covenant born again body, temple, nation, priesthood, and kingship of the resurrected Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God.

Rev 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.

This must be the return of the Lord to earth. The Lamb is standing upon Mt Sion, which is neither Zion nor Hermon on earth. The Lord first returns into the air, where He meets with the resurrected body and church of all His OT saints NT saints: The resurrected Lamb of God is Head of the body, standing upon Mt Sion in the air.

Rev 14:2
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: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.

Rev 14:4
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. And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.

They are the redeemed and firstfruits resurrection to God and to the Lamb.

 

[ATG]

Mt Sion is the ascended saints to meet the Lamb in the air.


Rev 15:2
And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.

All the OT and NT saints of Mt Sion stand upon the sea of glass with harps, singing the song of Moses and the song of the Lamb, which no man could learn to sing, but the resurrected disciples of God and the Lamb.

Job 37:18
Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?

The Mt Sion of the Lamb is in the higher air above the firmament, which is the firm sea of glass, through which they look upon all the earth and the inhabitors thereof.

Isa 40:21
Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth? It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:

Heb {12:22}
But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven,

The saints that sleep, and them alive on earth are not now the Mt Sion of God and the Lamb, but are coming to His holy Mount; Which shall be all His OT and NT resurrected and ascended saints to meet Him in the air, above the looking glass firmament of the sky.

And it will be high above at Mt Hermon, which is in northern Israel, which is to the sunrising east against the valley of Megiddo: The land of Armageddon, where all angry armies of the nations shall gather together to make war: Not only with the saints on earth as before, but now with the returned Lamb of God Himself:

Rev 17:12
And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

Even as Pharaoh and his armies, thought to chase down the exodus Hebrews into the dry Red Sea bed, and were destroyed in a moment by waves. So shall these armies of the beast, thinking to make war with the lamb and His faithful saints, be likewise destroyed from the air by Mt Sion high above Mt Hermon.

 

[ATG]

More on the body of Christ being the stones of the Lamb's Mountain, called Sion:

Mat 21:42
Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

Rom 9:33
As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

1Pe 2:5
Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

2Ti 2:19
Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

Psa 87:1
His foundation is in the holy mountains.

Not just buildings, but mountains have foundation and stones. The foundation laid for Mount Sion is Jesus Christ, the resurrected Lamb of God, and the members of His body are lively stones thereof.

Rev 2:17
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.

They are lively white stones with their new name written and new song to sing, which only the faithful and true followers of the Lamb can receive and learn.

Eze 16:12
And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head.

They are the jeweled stones of the living God, that are sealed in the foreheads of His resurrected servants, and ascended saints of the Lamb.

Lam 4:7
Her Nazarites were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk, they were more ruddy in body than rubies, their polishing was of sapphire:

Rev 1:14
His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;

Rom 6:5
For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

The are the redeemed bodies of the saints of God and the Lamb, resurrected in the likeness of Jesus Christ: Pure white lively stones, with polishing of sapphire jewels. The Lamb Himself being the chief cornerstone and Head thereof.

Sng 4:7
Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee. Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse, with me from Lebanon: look from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir and Hermon, from the lions' dens, from the mountains of the leopards.

Look from the tops of these mountains of the north, by the valley of Megiddo. There will be seen them that come with the Lord in the air high above,

Jde 1:14
And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,

Rev 1:7
Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

That spotless Mt Sion of the Lamb, that love the Lord Jesus at His return:

Eph 5:25
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

2Co 11:2
For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

2Ti 4:6
For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

First, Mt Zion is not Mt Sion.

Deu 4:48 From Aroer, which is by the bank of the river Arnon, even unto mount Sion, which is Hermon,

The point is, that this is the only place in OT Script where Mt Sion is written, and in context of where Moses delivered the law of the Covenant to the children of Israel:

Your statement (bolded) is incorrect. Mt. Sion is mentioned in terms of lands taken from Og king of Bashan and Sihon king of Heshbon.

Deuteronomy 4:44-49 "This is the law Moses set before the Israelites. These are the stipulations, decrees and laws Moses gave them when they came out of Egypt and were in the valley near Beth Peor east of the Jordan, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon and was defeated by Moses and the Israelites as they came out of Egypt. They took possession of his land and the land of Og king of Bashan, the two Amorite kings east of the Jordan. This land extended from Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Gorge to Mount Sirion (that is, Hermon), and included all the Arabah east of the Jordan, as far as the Dead Sea, below the slopes of Pisgah."

Thanks ATG, for your interest in Mount Sion, and for all the excellent scriptures you mention. Mountains in the Bible are pictures of kingdoms and are sometimes referred to as simply the Lord himself. When Daniel chapter 2 talks about the kingdom of God, it is referred to as a mountain not made with hands. Similarly, when the Lord sits on the Mount of Olives, olives are a picture of believers and the mount that Jesus sits atop in authority is the kingdom of believers or Christ's kingdom. When the Bible says that as the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people, mountains are a picture of the Lord and Jerusalem is a picture of believers.

Then we can understand that Mount Zion is the same as the the people of God, the city of the living God. The people are the city. We read about this: "But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,". The term angels just means messengers and is talking about believers, they are God's messengers. The verse is saying that anyone who is saved is part of the the group of believers in the kingdom, not at some future time, but beginning the moment that they are saved.

You spent a little bit of time talking about the air. This appeared to be a reference to Christ's coming in the air in 1 Thes 4:17. It is important to understand that the Bible is written in parable form (Psalm 78:1-2). We learn that the term 'air' in the Bible is a term denoting heaven. The kingdom of heaven is described as a small seed that grows so that the birds of the air lodge in its branches. The birds of the air are pictures of believers of heaven. The entire parable is talking about the kingdom of heaven and the term 'air' means heaven.

mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem,

Yes, thanks.

“In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14:2-3‬ ‭

We can add that the living stones of the Lamb's Mt Sion are mansions. The glorified resurrected bodies of the saints, when Jesus comes again to receive them unto Himself in the air.

1Pe 2:5
Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

The lively stones of His body on earth today, are being built up His spiritual house. With their resurrection in His likeness, will become His Mt Sion in the air.

“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. and they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭14:1, 3‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The fulness of resurrected and ascended MT Sion into the air, to meet with the Lamb, the cornerstone and Head thereof.

Rev 15:2
And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.

The OT and NT resurrected and ascended saints standing upon the firmament, glorifying the righteous judgments of the Lamb, that He is executing upon the inhabitors of the earth below.

“Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.”
‭‭John‬ ‭18:36‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Jesus' kingdom is not of this world. His kingdom on this world, when He came in the flesh. His kingdom will be established on earth with His second coming in resurrection power and glory.

Mat 6:10
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

1Co 15:50
Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

No man in natural flesh and blood can inherit the Spirit's kingdom of God. But only by resurrection from the dead in the likeness of Jesus Christ.

The Lamb's MT Sion will descend with Him with establish His kingdom in Jerusalem, and all cities of the earth:

Luk 19:15
And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.

Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds. And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.

Mat 25:21
His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem,

Heb 12:2
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

The living stones of the Lord's body are looking and coming unto His Mt Sion, for when He comes again. And then after His kingdom reign on earth, are coming unto His new Jerusalem on the new earth.

His living resurrected Mt Sion is not His new city Jerusalem, even as Mt Sion on earth is not the old city Jerusalem.

Thanks ATG, for your interest in Mount Sion, and for all the excellent scriptures you mention. Mountains in the Bible are pictures of kingdoms and are sometimes referred to as simply the Lord himself. When Daniel chapter 2 talks about the kingdom of God, it is referred to as a mountain not made with hands.

Yes, The Scriptures are clear enough, that the people of God on earth are His spiritual living stones, which are the fixed new hearts of His saints. Mountains and houses are made of stones.

1Pe 2:5
Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

Eph 2:22
In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

Isa 2:2
And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.

Jer 31:23
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As yet they shall use this speech in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof, when I shall bring again their captivity; The LORD bless thee, O habitation of justice, and mountain of holiness.

The Lord's holy mountain and house and habitation made of the lively stones of the body of Christ: The holy Mt. Sion of the Lamb, who stands thereon the chief cornerstone and Head of the body.

Rom 9:33
As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

When He comes again, He will visibly raise His bodily temple, the Lamb's Mt Sion, standing high in the air above all mountains and hills of the earth.

Daniel's prophecy of that Head stone, the returned Lord Himself, will 'cut away' from Mt Sion in the air, that is high above Mt Hermon, to destroy the armies of the beast, that are gathered around Megiddo to make war with the Lamb.

Rev 16:14
For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty…And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

Rev 17:14
These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

They that are with Him descending from the air are the called, chosen, and faithful resurrected holy stones of Mt. Sion.

Dan 2:44
And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

Dan 2:34
Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces...And the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

When the Lamb smites the armies of nations with His resurrected saints, He shall establish His kingdom over all the earth. The Head cornerstone ruling from Jerusalem, and the resurrection stones of His Mt Sion becoming rulers among nations of the whole earth.

Rev 2:25
But that which ye have already hold fast till I come. And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. And I will give him the morning star.

Isa 2:2
And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.

Then we can understand that Mount Zion is the same as the the people of God, the city of the living God. The people are the city. We read about this: "But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,". The term angels just means messengers and is talking about believers, they are God's messengers. The verse is saying that anyone who is saved is part of the the group of believers in the kingdom, not at some future time, but beginning the moment that they are saved.

At this time His temple body on earth is being built of spiritual lively stones. At His coming, they will be resurrected to be visibly seen with Him in the air: The Lamb standing upon His ascended Mt Sion, with stones fitted perfect together.

Eph 4:14
Speaking the truth in love, we may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

Psa 30:7
LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong:... And the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

You spent a little bit of time talking about the air. This appeared to be a reference to Christ's coming in the air in 1 Thes 4:17. It is important to understand that the Bible is written in parable form (Psalm 78:1-2). We learn that the term 'air' in the Bible is a term denoting heaven.

You give Scripture, until you get to the air.

The air is only with the sky of heaven over the earth. There is no air in the highest heaven and throne room of God.

There's no need to make a parable and symbolize, when something is visibly sensible. It's a slippery slope, that once started, there is no boundaries to man's imagination, and corrupting the plain words of God. By this, hell and the lake of fire is only a parable. Eternal torment is only a symbolic warning. The Red Sea figuratively parted, the sun stood relatively still, and Jesus Christ allegorically rose from the dead, not bodily.

And so, the whole Bible is only a fabulous myth full of mysteries, symbols, and allegorical parables, like Aesop's fables.

Peter is very clear about the prophecies of the coming of the Lord:

2Pe 1:16
For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

It is important to understand that the Bible is written in parable form (Psalm 78:1-2).

Such as here, the whole Bible is parables? I know you probably didn't mean it that way, but we still see how unnecessarily symbolizing things, can become a intellectual fascination, that begins to overthrow the solid ground truth of Scripture.


Example: If the rapture of the saints is not into the air as written, but only in God's heaven, then neither can the Lord come through the air, if resurrected saints don't meet Him there:

Rev 1:7
Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

We see how quickly unnecessary symbolizing spreads into making a fable out of all the prophecies of the Lord's coming again to earth. Are there not some that say the Lord's second coming is only symbolic, and not visible? And that He has already come again 'in the spirit' to rule the earth?

1Co 5:4
Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
Mat 16:12
Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
Every prophecy of the Lord's coming again to earth with clouds, receiving His church to meet Him in the air, pouring out wrath upon the rebellious, and destroying their armies at Armageddon from the air, it all makes perfect sense in and from the air, where the fowls of the air eat the flesh of His defeated enemies.

The birds of the air are pictures of believers of heaven. The entire parable is talking about the kingdom of heaven and the term 'air' means heaven.

You see the entanglement of prophecy, when symbology unnecessarily takes over? If none of these things are in and from the air of this earth's sky, then what's the next symbolic explanation for the saints of God to be eating the flesh of their enemies? In God's highest heaven and throne room, where in Scripture there is no air at all.

It is important to understand that the Bible is written in parable form (Psalm 78:1-2).

It is important to understand that PARTS of the Bible are written in parable form. Psalm 78 does not refer to the entire Bible... nor do the statements in the gospels about Jesus speaking in parables.

 

[Pilgrimshope]

Yes, thanks.

“




Heb 12:2
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

The living stones of the Lord's body are looking and coming unto His Mt Sion, for when He comes again. And then after His kingdom reign on earth, are coming unto His new Jerusalem on the new earth.

His living resurrected Mt Sion is not His new city Jerusalem, even as Mt Sion on earth is not the old city Jerusalem.

“We can add that the living stones of the Lamb's Mt Sion are mansions. The glorified resurrected bodies of the saints, when Jesus comes again to receive them unto Himself in the air.“

The living stones of the lambs Mount sion ? Not sure the reference

Do you see this part

“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. …..and they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. 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.

And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭14:1, 3-5‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Notice that the 144000 are exclusively of the tribes of Israel?

“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.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭7:4‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Did you notice how the 144000 isralites are the firstfruits ?

“For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ , the firstfruits;

afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15:22-23‬ ‭KJV‬‬


“and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, and came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭27:52-53‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.”
‭‭Mark‬ ‭16:19‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭12:5‬ ‭KJV‬‬


“And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. ( these people in heaven have already died on earth )

Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭12:10-12‬ ‭


Again
“but ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, ( it’s for the spiritual resurrection ruin bodies ) and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, ( Jesus mediated a new covenant not the old one again ) and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭12:22-24‬ ‭

theres a much better promised land for believers whether Jew or gentile than we’ve ever seen

“These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

( gods promised land isnt on this present earth )


But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭11:13

Where are these folks ?

“they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. ( these people in heaven have already died on earth )

Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them.“


The people aren’t the building that’s for the time on this earth God dwells in us like a temple when he restores things he’s going to walk among us in the new earth after the new Jerusalem comes down from heaven the city that is described in revelation 21 and other places in prophecy like in Ezekiel …. God promised an eternal world for his people one he didn’t make here


“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1:1‬ ‭KJV‬‬

That one’s for this

“but the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.”
‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭3:7‬ ‭

he promised a new one

“For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭65:


This is regarding the one he promised

“For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭66:22‬ ‭KJV‬‬

There’s a new thing now the old will come to this

“The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭24:20‬ ‭

But not the new one he promised …

“But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.”
‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭3:10, 13‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The eternal things are promised

 

[ATG]

Notice that the 144000 are exclusively of the tribes of Israel?

False. There's plenty of arguments about this, but it should suffice to say that Jesus Christ does not make division and schism in His own body, by separating His people and service according to Jew or non Jew.

A major flaw interpreting NT prophecy of Scripture, is by discounting NT doctrine of Christ.

The 144,000 of Rev 7, 14 are the fullness of the nations grafted into the body of Christ, whether Jew or Greek or Scythian or Armenian or Brazilian...They are the resurrected living white stones of the Lamb's Mt Sion. Of which He is both cornerstone and Head standing thereon.

“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.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭7:4‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Did you notice how the 144000 isralites are the firstfruits ?

Yes, of course. Firstfruits of Christ from the dead: the first resurrection of the body of Christ.

Rom 11:15
For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead? For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.

Jas 1:18
Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

“These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

( gods promised land isnt on this present earth )

False.

Gen 15:7
And he said unto him, I am the LORD that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it. And he said, Lord GOD, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?

Gen 17:8
And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.

Abram was called out of Ur to the land of Canaan, and God promised that land to inherit. There is no Ur or land of Canaan on the new earth. Nor, any more sea:

Rev 21:1
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

Eze 47:1
Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar.

Eze 47:8
Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.

The waters flowing from under the altar of the returning King's house at Jerusalem, shall become a great clear river to heal the waters of the eastern sea.

God always has specifics for all prophecy, to ensure anyone can know them, that wants to take Him at His words, and not invent their own false prophetic details.

The LORD God promised Abram, to give him that land of Canaan, that he personally walked on this earth. King Jesus will rule over this earth for a thousand years, with the desert sea cleansed by the waters from His palace. Which was built from the ruined heaps of Jerusalem at His return:

Jer 30:18
Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have mercy on his dwellingplaces; and the city shall be builded upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof.

Where are these folks ?

“they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. ( these people in heaven have already died on earth )

The souls of the dead in Christ are presently with the Lord at His throne room's altar:

Rev 6:9
And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

They will shout praise in His presence, when He returns to judge the world, that persecute His people.

Rev 19:1
And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God. For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.

But at His return into the air, He will first call and resurrect all His people from the graves, and them remaining alive on earth, to His marriage supper in the clouds:

Rev 19:7
Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.

Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them.“


The people aren’t the building that’s for the time on this earth God dwells in us like a temple when he restores things he’s going to walk among us in the new earth after the new Jerusalem comes down from heaven the city that is described in revelation 21 and other places in prophecy like in Ezekiel ….

‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭3:10, 13‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The eternal things are promised

Correct. So are the temporal things of this earth first in their order:

Resurrected Abraham and his remnant natural seed receive the land of Canaan. After the Lord's millennium on this earth, and the GWT judgment, all saints and people of God will dwell with and serve Him forever from New Jerusalem on the new earth.

The error of dispensational theology on the one hand, and favoring Jews in the body of Christ on the earth, is that by covenant with God, there is no difference between Jew and Greek. But by promise of land, there remains a difference between the Jews of the earth, and all other nations.

Now this is cute. Give honor to whom honor due.

Your insertion of Sirion for Sion is a purposed false translation of the Hebrew. Deut 24 is the only Hebrew name of Sion. The rest are unnecessary personal 'prophetic' translations from Hebrew, Zion.

God is speaking of His own MT Sion. Not the Sidonian Sirion, nor Amorite Senir.

Why didn't you choose Senir? Sirion sound closer to Sion, for your replacement purposes?

In any case, Mt Sion is the Lord's body of lively white polished and complete stones, with the Lamb being the chief cornerstone and Head.

Yes, of course. Firstfruits of Christ from the dead: the first resurrection of the body of Christ.

And he said unto him, I am the LORD that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it. And he said, Lord GOD, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?

Gen 17:8
And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.

Abram was called out of Ur to the land of Canaan, and God promised that land to inherit. There is no Ur or land of Canaan on the new earth. Nor, any more sea:

Rev 21:1
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

Eze 47:1
Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar.

Eze 47:8
Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.

The waters flowing from under the altar of the returning King's house at Jerusalem, shall become a great clear river to heal the waters of the eastern sea.

God always has specifics for all prophecy, to ensure anyone can know them, that wants to take Him at His words, and not invent their own false prophetic details.

Jer 30:18
Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have mercy on his dwellingplaces; and the city shall be builded upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof.



The souls of the dead in Christ are presently with the Lord at His throne room's altar:

Rev 6:9
And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

They will shout praise in His presence, when He returns to judge the world, that persecute His people.

Rev 19:1
And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God. For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.

But at His return into the air, He will first call and resurrect all His people from the graves, and them remaining alive on earth, to His marriage supper in the clouds:

Rev 19:7
Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.



Correct. So are the temporal things of this earth first in their order:

Resurrected Abraham and his remnant natural seed receive the land of Canaan. After the Lord's millennium on this earth, and the GWT judgment, all saints and people of God will dwell with and serve Him forever from New Jerusalem on the new earth.

This is how far I got


“False.”

And this is why

“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.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭7:4‬ ‭KJV‬‬


Of course this is pointless but notice after the children of Israel are sealed then we start seeing all the gentile people appearing and they are shouting salvation to the lamb ?


“After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; and cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭7:9-10‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The old covenant numbered the children of isreal ( Jacob ) exclusively

“These are the words of the covenant, which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, beside the covenant which he made with them in Horeb.”
‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭29:1‬ ‭KJV‬‬


and the new covenant which came after

“The law and the prophets ( Israel’s exclusive covenant ) were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man ( gentile also ) presseth into it.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭16:16‬ ‭

the gospel fills the house of God with people from all nations

These are the people who can’t be numbered like Israel’s chosen remnant was it’s open to all humanity anyone who hears and believes

“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.”
‭‭Mark‬ ‭16:15-16‬ ‭KJV‬‬


there’s no other option for Jew or gentile it’s belief in Jesus Christ and the gospel or it’s nothing jew or gentile
