1 | Are there any scriptures for the rapture | 2 Pet 3:10 | skccab | 188362 | ||
Good morning, MRoyal I realize that they are not the 144,000, but if they are not the raptured, then who are they? Where did they come from, and they are elders of what? To whom are they giving information and instruction, certainly not the Father nor the Lamb? cheri |

2 | Are there any scriptures for the rapture | 2 Pet 3:10 | azurelaw | 188364 | ||
Dear Cheri, I will try my effort to answer your question. There is an explanation which I found pretty convincing (at least to me) that the 24 elders represent : 12 Israel tribes in the OT and the 12 apostles in NT. In another sense, they represent the saints from both OT and NT. Concerning the 144,000, it is the multiples of 12 representing all God's people (i.e. believers in OT and NT). If we interpret that only 144,000 is the exact number for the saved, I am afraid that we are in deep trouble. I remember some users had listed a website conerning commentary of Rev. However, I cannot locate it for the moment. Maybe I leave the job for you :) Please do understand that the Rev is written with many symbolic terms in assocation with historical background of the OT and the current situation of the christian at the 1st century. Although the author did quote directly from OT, however the content is very familiar with what we have read in Danial, Isaiah, Ezek, Exodus. Sorry that I cannot give scriptural reference on what I have written. Hope this helps a bit on your understanding of the book of Rev. Shalom Azure |

Good morning sweet sister I've been of the same mind as you as far as the rapture and the other events that are to take place. Mr Royal is pointing out another view (which many others also hold, I must add). So I was asking him who these elders were if the tribulatin has not yet taken place at that point in Rev. I thank you so much for your response, though. Like I said before, I ALWAYS enjoy your posts. continue in your gentle devotion to our Lord may God bless cheri |
