It sure looks plausible to me that the 144,000 and perhaps many other saints are in heaven right now based on the study we have done and the scriptures you have shared. I have definitely become open to this idea even though I was brought up in a church that held firmly to the idea that the...

That is a great idea, brother, and it makes sense to me, especially given the "firstfruits" celebration that took place during the Passover "pilgrimage" feast. That's well before the Fall feasts where the two resurrections are connected as future events after the Church era. I will dive into...

Here's a really short but good article about the Feasts of God from a Christian perspective: The Feasts of Israel | Jews | Lamb and Lion Ministries (christinprophecy.org)

I wanted to give you an award for this posting, brother, but for some reason the only reaction option I have right now is the default thumbs up "like." I really enjoy learning your views on this topic, and it's helping me to rethink other possibilities from what I learned in my "seminary" days...

Thank you my friend for the in-depth observations.

Good stuff, brother, and yes I'm quite familiar with these excellent verses from Paul. In fact, that's why I am of the school that those who are dead now in Christ are asleep in the grave and will be raised in that spiritual, incorruptible body when Christ returns "at the last trump." Think...

I love all of the verses you shared here, brother, and I have no problem with your views of God's plans for us in the future. Again, I think we're more aligned than we realize on the crucial matters, and the rest are just a matter of our spiritual upbringings in the faith. One thing is for...

We're on the same page overall, my friend. It's the timing of the New Heaven and New Earth from Revelation chapters 20 & 21 that seem to imply a sequential timeline after Christ's return: -Satan is bound for 1000 years (Rev. 20: 1-3) -Saints will live and reign with Christ for 1000 years (Rev...

Amen brother. This life is transitory, and our ultimate hope is receiving the gift of eternal life and dwelling with Christ in His Kingdom forever. We are pilgrims on a great journey towards the Promised Land in heaven, and we are ambassadors of that Kingdom today spreading the good news that...

Good stuff, my friend! I can't wait to see how all of this plays out in the future when Christ returns. It makes sense that Christ will be ruling from His throne in heaven, and David is prophesied to be king (Christ's "prince") over Israel again: Jeremiah 30:8-9 New King James Version 8 ‘For...

I appreciate your perspective on this issue, brother, and there are several different opinions among believers about events leading up to Jesus' return and what will happen thereafter. The timeline John provides in Revelation 20 is the one I use to fill in the gaps for what will happen after...

Here's my full posting... That's the beauty of relationships in the Kingdom of God, brother - unity and harmony. It's intriguing that the elders and creatures sing in that new song that Christ the Lamb has "made us kings and priests to our God. And we shall reign on the earth" (Rev. 5: 10). I...

That's the beauty of relationships in the Kingdom of God, brother - unity and harmony. It's intriguing that the elders and creatures sing in that new song that Christ the Lamb has "made us kings and priests to our God. And we shall reign on the earth" (Rev. 5: 10). I think this is twofold. They...

This is an excellent observation, brother. When all hope appears to be lost due to our poor choice to rebel against God, He stays with us and is there in the background throughout history promising us through both testaments that He will redeem us. Revelation is the perfect ending to the written...

I took a browse through Revelation to see how the glorified Christ manifested Himself to John, and I found three that give different perspectives and descriptions of Christ in heaven. It's amazing how our God can change His appearance as needed to portray different aspects of His character and...

This is a really cool mosaic of visions woven together from the OT and NT, brother - thank you for sharing this! A person could spend an entire lifetime linking the imagery in Revelation with all the prophetic nuggets in the OT, and it's not just Daniel and Ezekiel which are both closely tied to...

I like what you pointed out here regarding Daniel's vision - Jesus' ascension to the Father in heaven where He received the "...kingdom that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him." That has certainly been fulfilled in part, and the Church has done a faithful job under Christ's...

Here's a liberal perspective on the Christian Nationalist movement currently: 'They don’t see it coming': Christian nationalists’ 'Trojan horse' election plot exposed (msn.com) I have a friend who is a devout conservative Catholic, and he says Biden is a "pseudo-Catholic." I'm not sure how...

I really enjoy our fellowship as well, Pilgrim, and your insights are thoughtful and edifying. You bring up new twists I haven't considered and find applicable scripture to enhance our conversation like the vision Daniel shares in chapter 7 that is very similar to John's in Revelation. I love...
