Jesus comes immediately AFTER the tribulation, there is no Left Behind Secret Rapture=Stop causing fear.

they are actual number of firstfruit Jews.

lets take a look:
rev 7
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.
5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.
6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nephthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.
7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.
8 Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.




Revelation 14
14 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:
3 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.
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.

no need to say it is not literal number of people.

Hello, TheDivineWatermark: I can see your observation is right in that the Greek word Anthropoi is, in fact, to be found in the New Testament. Friend got that line mistaken. But, aside from that discrepancy, all the rest in his post sounds sound and of good weight to me. Below, I'm showing to you how I confirmed your valuable objection; and why I think Friend is still right on the mark:

The word Anthropoi is, in fact, being used in the New Testament. Now, Anthropoi is an INFLECTION from the word Anthropos/G444. Anthropos has a number of 17 different inflections with Anthropoi being ONE of them. And, all together, those inflections appear 550-559 times in 498-504 verses in the New T. ................... YET, Anthropoi is not being used in Rev 9:15, 18, 20, but the inflection Anthrōpōn, Anthrōpōn main meaning —but not always— is: man, men, the men (in a generic sense i.e. humanity, humankind, Man, people, the people as a whole).

Now, at first glance, Anthrōpōn in Rev 9:15, 18, 20 seems to indicate "humankind"... But by looking at Rev 11:13 (the 7000 killed in the earthquake), we can see Anthrōpōn is being used there too in reference to specifically the 7000 men/people. Even the NASB and the NIV say: "seven thousand people/anthropon were killed in the earthquake"; KJV: "were slain of men/anthrōpōn seven thousand"; NKJV: "in the earthquake seven thousand people/Anthrōpōn were killed". So, Anthrōpōn is being used not only in reference to "humankind", but also to a particular group or segment of people at a given, specific place and time.

In conclusion, I would say all there's to be corrected on the Friend's part is the statement "Anthropoi is nowhere to be found in the N.T." Aside from that, I believe he is right in pointing that Rev 9:15, 18, 20 indicates "the men" gathered there and then, and not humankind as a whole.

Since you will probably not read the article, I will copy and paste it. Barley has no need of being crushed.

Three Main Harvests Of Souls

I will give you rains at the right season; the land will produce crops, and the trees of the field will produce their fruit. Your threshing will continue until the grape harvest, and your grape harvest will continue until it is time to plant. Then you will have plenty to eat and live safely in your land. ~ Leviticus 26:4-5, NCV

God can use a metaphor better than the most gifted writers. For example, He takes the Old Testament’s annual two grains and one fruit agricultural harvests and develops them into well-defined metaphors that describe the New Testament’s spiritual harvests of souls—those saved believers who enter into the Kingdom of God (see the rich harvest imagery in Matthew 9:36-38; John 4:35-36).

Now, in order to understand His metaphors, the three spiritual harvests of souls, believers first need to understand the significance of God’s three mandated major festivals that He situates within aforesaid agricultural harvests. The three agricultural-related mandated feasts that all Jewish men who, more than likely, are 20 years of age and older, had to attend are the Passover Feast, the Feast of Pentecost, and the Feast of Tabernacles (cf. Exodus 23:14-17; Deuteronomy 16:16). Moreover, the two different grain harvests and the one fruit harvest that are compared to three spiritual harvests of souls are the Barley Harvest, Wheat Harvest, and Grapes Harvest—these harvest metaphors depict God’s harvest times as a time of opportunity in the here and now, and a time of final judgment.

It is important to note here that every crop of grain and fruit will have firstfruits (the grain and fruit of every crop that ripens early), and every crop of grain and fruit will experience a time of separation. When the crop is ripe, it is harvested by separating the chaff or the refuse. Thus, mature barley goes through a time of separation or winnowing. Using a wooden fork or “fan,” winnowers throw the gathered barley against the wind so that the wind can separate the chaff (husk) from the grain. On the other hand, mature wheat goes through a time of separation or crushing/threshing. Using a tribulum, a wooden board with holes in it, or using a wooden sled, both of which oxen often pull, threshers stand or sit on the board or sled as it is drawn over the grain that is laying on the threshing floor, causing the grain to be separated from the husk (chaff) and straw.

Because barley and wheat still will have certain amounts of chaff, little stones, and/or some tares mixed in them, these grains must go through an additional time of separation or sifting (sieving). The sifters sit on the floor and shake the sieve, which contains the grain, until the chaff begins to appear on the top. Then the sifters blow away the chaff by using the power from their breath. Shifting, thus, is necessary before the grain can be ground into meal.

Lastly, the mature grapes also go through a time of separation or crushing (treading). Using a winepress, treaders crush the grapes until the grapes’ juice is separated from the grapes’ skins, which results in the pressed juice running into the vats.

Having said that, here, in a nutshell, are the three main spiritual Harvests of Souls:

FIRST HARVEST — BARLEY HARVEST (@first FRUITS FEAST)

See ~ Ephesians 5:27; ~ 1 Thessalonians 5:23, NCV; ~ 2 Peter 3:14, NCV

The Barley Harvest represents the overcomers. These are the saints whose hearts are tender—the repentant on-fire believers, whose body, soul and spirit are without spot or blemish; completely sanctified unleavened lives driven by the Wind of the Holy Spirit. Like Christ Jesus, they too are Firstfruits; they are the Bride of Christ; they are the redeemed, resurrected, never-to-die again, glorified sons and daughters of God, and they are the FIRST PHASE of the spiritual Harvest of Souls who participate in the 1st resurrection. Furthermore, some of them will be the resurrected dead in Christ AND some will be the raptured alive in Christ (see 1 Corinthians 15:51- 54; 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17).

More important, these overcomers have been winnowed, which means they did not need to be harvested by using a “TRIBULUM” (Latin word from which comes the English word, Tribulation). In other words, the Barley Harvest of Souls will NOT have to go through the seven-year TRIBULATION, of which the last 3½ years are going to be the time of great distress and great pressure that this world has never seen before, and will never see again.

SECOND HARVEST — WHEAT HARVEST (@FEAST OF PENTECOST)

See ~ Matthew 3:11-12; ~ Matthew 13:38-39; ~ Revelation 14:14-16, NCV

The Wheat Harvest represents all the rest of the believers—the left behind hardhearted and/or carnal believers who were not ready when the Bride of Christ was raptured. These believers must endure the seven-year Tribulation, and for them the Great Tribulation (the last 3½ years) is a judgment that can be compared to the most severe action of Wheat threshing that is done in order to make the Wheat easier to separate (easier to winnow) away from the chaff. The Wheat Harvest, thus, represents those believers who are asleep, in the spiritual sense (see Matthew 13:25). Furthermore, the Firstfruits of this Wheat Harvest will be the martyred (beheaded) saints who are the SECOND PHASE of the spiritual Harvest of Souls who participate in the 1st resurrection, and the remaining mature Wheat will be those surviving Tribulation saints—the left-behind believers who have been thoroughly purged; see Revelation 7:13-14).

Also mixed in with this left-behind Harvest of Wheat are many left behind evangelized unbelievers (Jews and Gentiles) who, during the seven-year Tribulation, finally will accept Jesus the Christ as their personal Savior! Together with the surviving Tribulation’s left-behind believers, these Tribulation converts will be those Tribulation survivors biblically described as “…a great multitude, which no man could number…” (Revelation 7:9).(THEY GET THIS WRONG, IMHO, these are the Church Age Saints who are Raptured out of the 2000 some or year Church Age Trib.)


THIRD HARVEST — GRAPES HARVEST (@FEAST OF TABERNACLES)

See ~ Revelation 14:17-20; ~ Revelation 19:15

The Grapes Harvest represents the unbelievers who, for the most part, will be part of the massive crop of unbelievers who are in the 2nd resurrection—those centuries of unbelievers who will be judged according to their works (see Revelation 20:11-13). Moreover, many of these Grapes are Tribulation unbelievers who have heard the Gospel but made a choice to not make the Gospel a part of their lives—they chose not to accept Jesus the Christ as their Lord and personal Savior. These Grapes, thus, are the Tribulation’s unspiritual Harvest of Souls who have been thrown in the great winepress of God’s wrath, which thoroughly extracts juice (life) from “crushed” Grapes (see Revelation 14:19). Put differently, the Grapes and their seeds are UTTERLY and TOTALLY CRUSHED!

In contrast, the Firstfruits of the Grapes Harvest are the 144,000 last days’ redeemed unmarried translated/raptured Messianic Jews (see Revelation 14:3-4). These blameless, undefiled, and faithful followers of Jesus the Christ are the THIRD PHASE of the spiritual Harvest of Souls who participate in the 1st resurrection, because just like the alive Bride of Christ these 144,000 saints will be raptured (redeemed or resurrected; raised up) alive!

Are you breathing? Then a word to the wise should be sufficient!!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't agree with everything, the 144,000 ae the Wheat, or the First-fruits of the 70th week Jews. But in general, the English word Tribulation comes from the Greek word TRIBULUM.

don't let truth get in your way sir:
Pssst.....In the vid,he clearly crushes the barley to separate it. Sorry you can't grasp it.

here is another vid for you,
It VIVIDLY refutes your claim and teachers.
1) barley is cut
2) it is threshed...or crushed
3) it is winnowed or separated.

I know you need it to be otherwise.
But truth has a way of overriding wrong beliefs.

thresh
(θrɛʃ)

v.t.
1. to separate the grain or seeds from (a cereal plant or the like), as by beating with a flail or by the action of a threshing machine.
2. to beat as if with a flail.
v.i.
3. to thresh wheat, grain, etc.
4. to deliver blows as if with a flail.


threshing barley:

I hate to tell you, but those videos mean nothing, research is your friend, not some video by some guy, LOL. The facts are the facts, Barley doesn't need to be crushed, now maybe you are watching some HYBIRD PLANT, instead of trying to reaffirm your false notion, who not research it in depth like I do all things. I can find a jackleg on Youtube who says Red is Green if I want to.

We all know you can CRUSH the Barley just like the wheat if you want to before you winnow it, but you don't have to take that step, and thus it was known as a poor mans grain, they also fed it to their livestock. But unlike Wheat, you do not HAVE TO CRUSH the Barley, that is just a fact. So, you find people who do crush it and say IT HAS TO BE CRUSHED, well, no it foes not have to be crushed.

I will add that I am only one of the editors on this project of twenty-two years, We are here to see the possibility of there being more contributors of kindred spirit; willing help fill in any gaps that may remain. Already their has been an edit based on what we have learned by joining you all. Again, the book is called "Seven Eyes" and we will soon be printing the fifth edition, Yet still reserved for Pastors. Once this distribution is complete, the book will be viewer friendly, and available for Free Download to the nations...
Please excuse me as it's possible that information I have here is not up to date. I'm just one person but others are watchmen (like yourselves.) So correct me when you see something erroneous; but please, only after thoughtful consideration of what's been said. Again, this is a project that has cross many divides, with less than three percent of more than 1000 contributors opting out. To date, with this fifth printing almost ready, we have reached the point where we're all agreeing about the books content. But on the other hand: agreements from the beginning means we will always leave the door open for heads on examination. I have been with this project from the begging. It seems the body of Christ is on this earth until we all reach a unity in the faith. And now more than ever, we are thinking this is possible.



It is not a matter of over annualizing one word. Its a matter of respecting everything that it is saying: like ALL the "After These Things"; 1260/42, fourteen different 1/3rds, [broken treaty the Middle Of The Week Image in temple two witnessed killed]+3.5 days-two witness raised /T6/quake7000+[1256.5=42-3.5 days = 1256.5 days of 7bwrath-1256.5 days=start of bowls =1256.5 days for the bowls of wrath=(1b)Loathsome 666 sore (2b)Sea completely dead, but in the trumpet only 1/3 dead even loss of ships, but no loss of shipping in bowl (3b)Blood Rivers but no death as in the trumpets (4b)Men scorched + still having 666 sores = (5b)countenance darkened with pain) .....

The code above shows there is a very extensive chronology, even with many of the connective tissues not included. So what does this demonstrate: that to the extent any detail is overlooked, our perspectives of what is going on can be obscured. So the following is an attempt to add some more clarity.


The first seal is the False Christ/Anti-Christ endorsed by the False Prophet/earth beast

(1)Terms of treaty/42 months Grace Period For Gentiles to Leave Jerusalem/Israel's Inheritance/from the start of treaty the temple area is completely off limits to Gentiles.

(1)Rev 11:2 “Leave out the court which is outside the temple and do not measure it, because it has been given to the nations; and they will tread under foot the holy city for forty-two months.



Treaty Broken/middle of the Week: Since the two witnesses will be killed in the middle of the week; this locks their time of appointment on the day of the Rapture. When John hears our Lord's trumpet voice, he arrives in Heaven but sees neither Jesus nor the two witnesses that Stand in His Presence;


Dan 9:27 “And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate.”

=Image in temple/Satan Ejected from Heaven/Two Witnesses Killed ending their 1260 days of tormenting those on earth.

Rev 11:10-11 And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them and celebrate; and they will send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth. 11 But after the three and a half days, the breath of life from God came into them, and they stood on their feet; and great fear fell upon those who were watching them.

Within the same Hour of two witnesses killed /Earthquake 7000 raised not having bowed/Israel Flees to the East through "valley of MY MOUNTAINS" then Great Eagle air lift to safe zones=Satan desperately seeking to kill the rest of HER/Israel's children who are not having the mark of the beast.


So Israel's flight started when the Beast's/Ant-Christ's image was place in the temple for them to have the need to be in hiding for 1260 days; even there is the successful last ditch escape three and a half days later; for those having not taken immediate action as instructed.

But there is something very important that we missed for so long; that is the following:

*G235 matches the Greek ἀλλά (alla). 6. forms a transition to the cardinal matter. (Thayer’s Greek Lexicon)https://www.blueletterbible.org/lexicon/g235/rvr60/tr/0-1/

So Just before the Seventh Trumpets Sounds the Mystery is Finished as it relates to the Prophets. This means that ALL SIX TRUMPETS HAVE BEEN FULLFILL. Therefore with the SIXTH TRUMPET FULLFILLED, We have 66 million dead bodies strewn on route 6 to the west, and route 60 to the east, from Jerusalem all the way to the valley of Megiddo/Armageddon; with the combine distance of these two highways being 184 miles (google earth).


And notice what Rev 9:20 indicates; that the ones having repented, will be the ones killed in this battle. It was customary for enemy captives to be put on the points of Rome's formations.

The Prophets tell us that the nations will be defeated and defiant, (but not destroyed) The nations being in "RAGE" as a result of this defeat.

As a result of this defeat there is only two reactions: Rage or Repentance, as follows but also noting the tense corrections.



Eze 36:23 “I will vindicate the holiness of My great name which has been profaned among the nations, which even you have profaned while in their midst. Then the nations will know that I am the LORD,” declares the Lord GOD, “when I prove Myself holy (among you) in their sight.


Above all else that we have learned about the scriptures, turns out to be a verse that almost all of us are knowing, but in now revealing things we have never seen before; comprehending it with the additional information like we are seeing in the book of Hebrews, as follows:
All of this is to say that God will make our enemies in to a footstool for His Son; which is metaphoric for having an enemy in subjection, in order to serve for a particular purpose; but in the case of this footstool, it will later be destroyed. After the Sixth Trumpet we are seeing the symbol of a victory: That is, the messenger having his feet on the land and the sea.
In the second trumpet only a third of the shipping/fishing industry is destroyed, whereas during the second bowl of wrath all the sea creatures where destroyed. So we have to say that a third of the creatures being killed, come before all of them being killed: chronology


666 is the unclean monetary system during the end times. This end times system makes you a criminal if you refuse to give total subjection, surrendering your conscience and body to this person; who will kill you and loot everything you have for refusing to do so. These are persons having been, or will be involved in wars and looting; who have had or are having currency with an image, name, and numerical value; hence, there have been many beast throughout history but the last one will surpass them all.
Like the name: Benjamin Franklin, and the number: 100, and that by design, it being associated with a completely debt ridden society stricken by greed; spreading this out all over the earth. Yet the currant system does not fulfill the profile of the beast during the tribulations. All this is worth saying because there are many who are saying the United States in the Great Harlot.

It is not a matter of over annualizing one word. Its a matter of respecting everything that it is saying: like ALL the "After These Things"; 1260/42, fourteen different 1/3rds, [broken treaty the Middle Of The Week Image in temple two witnessed killed]+3.5 days-two witness raised /T6/quake7000+[1256.5=42-3.5 days = 1256.5 days of 7bwrath-1256.5 days=start of bowls =1256.5 days for the bowls of wrath=(1b)Loathsome 666 sore (2b)Sea completely dead, but in the trumpet only 1/3 dead even loss of ships, but no loss of shipping in bowl (3b)Blood Rivers but no death as in the trumpets (4b)Men scorched + still having 666 sores = (5b)countenance darkened with pain) .....

Anyway if you follow the thread you will see where it first starts but you have to open it there for some reason I don't know, But thereafter its coronological in two more posts... God Bless Brother

Hello Friend,

I wanted to highlight your statment: "... Then there is no mention of the church for 19 chapters only symbols of Israel", because it’s made me realize the absolute consistency on the part of the Lord the way He deals with His church (which is His Body), in comparison with His dealings with His People Israel (and the rest of the world.) Reinforces in me the certainty of the (sudden, unanticipated) rapture of the church, and the subsequent beginning of the Tribulation period for Israel and the world.

Hello Friend,

"... Now there will be NINETEEN CHAPTERS WITH NO MENTION OF THE CHURCH only symbols of Israel."

Again: this statment above, and the whole post, has made me realize the absolute consistency on the part of the Lord in the way He deals with His church (which is His Own Body), in comparison with His dealings with His People Israel (and the rest of the world.) Reinforces in me the certainty of the (sudden, unanticipated) rapture of the church, and the subsequent beginning of the Tribulation period for Israel and the world.

From wiki;
"""Do you thresh barley?
Yes, After 2 to 3 weeks have passed, the barley should be dried out and have a low enough moisture content for you to thresh the grains. Take all of the bundles to the area you've prepared. Use a bat or stick to beat the grains from the stalks over the tarp."""

Where is your proof it does not?
In earlier times they used horses hooves to crush it.

It think the proper position would be "it is easier to crush".
(Maybe that would factor in spiritually.)

Your earlier claim was that it is never crushed.
That has led many people to draw false analogy.

Bingo
God is a God of purpose.
In romans God lays out the reclaiming of the jew.

So many here are unaware of purpose

Purpose of the gt....to reclaim israel

Purpose of the rapture....to come for Jesus gentile bride.

The Day of the Lord = God's Wrath which starts in the Middle of the week (70th week). When Joel uses the word BEFORE if you look it up, it means FACE, like standing before the presence or in the presence of someone, so the moon will turn to blood in the presence of the Day of the Lord, or in other words during God's 1260 days of Wrath.

So, this event doesn't happen BEFORE God's Wrath falls, it happens because God's Wrath falls, or in the presence of God's Wrath, or more a modern times rendering would say, the moo will turn to blood DURING the coming DOTL.

The Great Supper is basically Armageddon. The Church "Metaphorically" dines on the wickeds flesh.

Most people do no grasp what God is saying in Rev. 11:1-3, by telling John to MEASURE with a reed, God is simply telling John to UNDERSTAND (Measure) the Tw-witnesses Ministry on this earth, thus by paying CLOSE ATTENTION we can see who they are called unto, and why !!

Rev. 11:1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein (Jews). 2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. 3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

So, what does all the above tell us? Well, God told John the Two-witnesses ministry is unto the Jews ONLY, take Measurement of the Temple of God, the Altar AND ONLY those who worship therein, no Gentiles you see were ever allowed in the Tempe of God, only Jews, the Jews built an Outer Court (Wailing Wall is the Outer Court) where the Gentiles could visit and worship. So, by God telling John NOT TO MEASURE the Outer Court (Gentiles portion) He was basically telling John an d us the Two-witnesses calling/ministry was unto the Jews only, as Malachi 4:5-6 tells us.

Malachi 4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: 6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

So, the Two-witnesses are sent to TURN Israel back unto God, AND as a witnesses unto the Gentiles of God's coming Wrath, and to BRING THAT Wrath via THEIR Prayers. Notice in Rev. 8, the Prayers of the Saints are before God and this God ACTS and casts down fire onto earth. So, just like Moses held up the staff tp brig the 10 plagues, these coming Two-witnesses who I see as Elijah and Moses (who were both at the transfiguration of Jesus) will be charged with not only praying down these plagues, but also with telling the whole world what they are about to see in every instance, just like Moses did in Egypt. This is why the whole world HATES THEM, and sends gifts to each other when they die. But they are ONLY SENT to turn the Jews back unto God, which they do, the time of the Gentiles are over, the Gentile Church is now in Heaven.

The Two-witnesses die and the 2nd Woe, just before the 7th Trump, the middle of the week is the First Trump, so they do not die in the middle of the week, but just before the Beast dies at the end of the 3rd Woe, via the 7th Vial in Rev. 16:19. The book of Revelation is not in Chronological Order, thus it confuses people. The Rapture happens Pre Trib, not during the middle of the 70th week.

The SACRIFICE (1290) that is taken away (forbidden) is Jesus Worship by the Jews in the Temple of Gd AFTER the Jews repent AFTER the Two-witnesses return to get them to repent at the 1335 (Two-witnesses show up 1335 days before the Second Coming). The False Prophet forbids this Jesus Worship, AND places an IMAGE of the E.U. President (Anti-Christ) in the Temple just like Jason (real name Yeshua) did during Antiochus Epiphanes reign, when he welcomed Antiochus into the temple to offer a sacrifice unto Zeus and tried to Hellenize the Jews, leading to the Maccabean Revolt. So, Antiochus was the Anti-Christ TYPE and he had a False Prophet TYPE in Jason.

The SACRIFICE is not a stupid, profane meat sacrifice, its Jesus Christ. A meat sacrifice is profane before God as we speak also so how could the Temple be PROFANED by taking away a PROFANED sacrifice? The Jews repent at the 1335, when the BLESSING COMES (Two-witnesses) just before Israel gets conquered 75 days later by the Anti-Christ who then becomes THE BEAST for 1260 days.

1335 comes FIRST
1290 happens 45 days later
1260 happens 3 dats AFTER the 1290

All of these numbers happen exactly THAT MANY DAYS before the Second Coming ENDS ALL THESE WONDERS which Daniel was shown in Dan. 11:36-45.
