301 | Who and When? | Rev 17:14 | Mommapbs | 46744 | ||
"These will wage war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those who are with Him are the called and chosen and faithful." Rev 17:14 Are there three groups mentioned here? 1. "the called" 2. (the) chosen 3. (the) faithful OR Does this verse describe just ONE group of followers? Who are these or they? WHEN does this happen? |

302 | Compare Rev 16:17 with John 19:30? | Rev 16:17 | Mommapbs | 46463 | ||
Let's look at two "endings: Jesus last words, "It is finished" (John19:30) and the proclamation of the angel, "It is done." (Rev 16:17) Although the Greek word for "done" is not the same as "finish," is it possible to compare or contrast these two Scriptures? |

303 | Two different groups of 144,000? | Rev 14:1 | Mommapbs | 46297 | ||
Using this as my logic train: "Thy will be done on earth as is IS in Heaven." (Matthew 6:10) suggests action on earth as a result of the reality of Heaven. Premise: There are Heavenly patterns and Earthly copies. (As opposed to satan's counterfeits!) Here are some I came up with: Man was created in the image of God (Gen 2:7) See also 1 Cor 15:45 The earthly tabernacle has a Heavenly counterpart. (Gen 25:9) It is also interesting to note that John saw the "Ark of the Covenant" in the Heavenly Temple. (Rev 11:19) Because we see a pattern of things in heaven being copied on earth, consider also Mount Zion. "But you have come to Mount Zion, to the heavenly Jerusalem, the city of the living God. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly," Hebrews 12:22 Although the heavenly mount Zion is mirrored on earth in many references, I've chosen Joel 2:32 - "And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call." Keeping these two references in mind, Consider Rev 14:1 "Then I looked, and behold, the Lamb was standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His name and the name of His Father written on their foreheads." Where is THIS mount Zion of Rev 14:1 located? At this point in the Revelation of Jesus to John, the Second Coming of Christ has not occurred. Therefore, I believe that this scene of worship that John describes takes place on mount Zion in Heaven, not on mount Zion on Earth. This then leads me to my next question: "Who are these 144,000?" Because the description of the 144,000 of Rev 14 is different from those of Rev 7, is it reasonable to conclude that perhaps the 144,000 redeemed of Rev 14 are the "heavenly pattern" that we see copied in the 144,000 sealed from the tribes of Israel in Rev 7? Consider: the 144,000 sealed of Rev 7 will be chosen from the tribes of Israel. But according to Rev 14:4, this group of 144,000 are redeemed. They were "purchased,” (bought with the blood of Jesus) "from every tribe and tongue and people and nation." See Rev 5:9. Therefore, can we conclude that the 144,000 "saints" of Rev 14 are a select group of Christ's followers who reside in Heaven and who will accompany Him on His return to earth as described in Rev 17:14, 19:14? |

304 | More examples of God's "copys?" | Matt 6:10 | Mommapbs | 46264 | ||
"For behold, the kingdom of God is in your midst." Luke 17:21 I think that you can figure out how the Kingdom of God is in our midst! ASK,SEEK,KNOCK! God will indeed reveal it to you! Any other examples that you can find where God copies on earth what is in Heaven? |
||||||
305 | Earthly copies from Heaven? | Matt 6:10 | Mommapbs | 46206 | ||
God copies, satan counterfeits! Where does God get His pattern to copy from - Heaven. To me, "Thy will be done on earth as IS in Heaven." could suggest a future action on earth based upon the reality of Heaven in the past or the present. For example: Man was created in the image of God. "So it is written: "The first man Adam became a living being"; the last Adam, a lifegiving spirit. 1 Cor 15:45; Gen. 2:7 Can you think of other examples? Please give references. |

306 | Armegeddon question? | Rev 20:8 | Mommapbs | 45678 | ||
Greetings again jme! It seems we disagree about the battle of Armegeddon and it's timing. You described the battle of Armegeddon as "Gods war against all False religon and people not wanting to do God's will." Where do you see this in God's Word? You wrote: God always provides a means of escape to the people worshiping him with sprit and thruth. ( shown by history) Some will survie Armageddon" Where do you see this? "and many from all the nations of people that have died will be ressureccted into that 1000 year rein." Please support this statement!"These (those resurrected?)will not have been tested so the Bible says that many will fail this test." Are you saying that the battle of Armegeddon precedes the 1000 year reign of Christ? We may have some controversy here. Which is this battle described in Rev. 20:7-10 After this final battle, all will be resurrected to stand before the Throne of God for their final judgment.(Rev 20:11-15) Mommapbs |
||||||
307 | WHO are the "nations?" | Rev 20:8 | Mommapbs | 45605 | ||
After reading the previous thread on this verse I still have a question about the "nations." Since this event follows the thousand year reign of Jesus Christ on the earth, WHO are these "nations?" WHO survived the great wrath of God and the great battle decribed in Rev 19:17-21? Let's identify WHO is on the earth during Christ's reign, can we reason that the "nations" of Rev 20:8 come from these? WHO has the capacity to choose to rebel against Christ at this point in time? Certainly not the resurrected saints (Rev 20:4-6)! So who is left? |
||||||
308 | Sealing of the 144,000? | Rev 14:1 | Mommapbs | 45596 | ||
More questions Makarios! Citing the following Scriptures you wrote, "The 144,000 will be resurrected first" "And I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred and forty-four thousand sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel" Rev. 7:4; "I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of supplication, so that they will look on Me whom they have pierced; and they will mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over Him like the bitter weeping over a firstborn." Zech. 12:10 How do you conclude this from these passages? What is the meaning of the 144,000 being sealed, is it the same as described by Paul in the following passages? 2 Cor 1:22 "who also sealed us and gave us the Spirit in our hearts as a pledge." Eph 4:30: "you were sealed for the day of redemption." We read in Rev 14:3 that 144,000 are "redeemed." They are further described as being an offering or "firstfruits". Could this be that these chosen 144,000 Jews are the first converts to accept Jesus as Messiah AFTER the rapture of the Church? (See info on this verse in NASB) As always, I'm thinking out of the box! Blessings, Mommapbs |

Just wondering: can recognize any "bronze snakes" in the Church today? | ||||||
310 | Compare Psalm 18 with Second Coming? | Ps 18:7 | Mommapbs | 45102 | ||
Can we compare Psalm 18:6-20 with the Second Coming of Christ? Many of the details seem to be similar to events in The Revelation. | ||||||
311 | 2 Kings 16 in our worship practices? | 2 Kin 16:11 | Mommapbs | 44956 | ||
After reading the account of Ahaz in this chapter I am struck by the audacity of Ahaz to make an altar of worship apart from the Lord's direction and specifications. (Read on, he does other things as well!) I'm wondering how much we have imported from the "world of our own ideas" into worship of the Lord? Anyone care to comment on this chapter with respect to the Church today? |
||||||
312 | Who are these? | Rev 13:6 | Mommapbs | 44953 | ||
Who are "those that dwell in heaven?" The cross reference to this verse is Rev 7:15 which suggests that these are the great tribulation saints. Yet the next verse states: "It was also given to him to make war with the saints." Who are these two groups? |
||||||
313 | Years of Silence? | Mal 4:6 | Mommapbs | 44819 | ||
How many "years of silence" - when Israel did not hear from the Lord - before the Birth of Jesus? | ||||||
314 | When is this reign? | Rev 19:14 | Mommapbs | 44031 | ||
Greetings Steve! WHEN does this reign take place is my question, during the 1000 years or in Eternity? What are your thoughts? Mommapbs | ||||||
315 | Riders and "reigners"? | Rev 19:14 | Mommapbs | 44024 | ||
Who are these other riders with Jesus? I heard a minister claim that these are "raptured" believers who will return with Christ to reign for 1,000 years. It's not that I don't like riding horses, but aren't the Armies of Heaven the angelic host? Where does Scripture indicate that "raptured" believers will reign with Christ? | ||||||
316 | Readers of"Left Behind" series question | 2 Thess 2:12 | Mommapbs | 43899 | ||
According to this passage in 2 Thess 2:7-12, the opportunity to accept Jesus Christ as Savior is precluded from those (gentiles) who have not responded to the Gospel or rejected Jesus before the Rapture of the Church. Doesn't the "Left Behind" series offer an erroneous hope of a "second chance" to those who remain? | ||||||
317 | Left Behind in error w 2 Thess. 2:7-11? | 2 Thess 2:12 | Mommapbs | 43825 | ||
It would appear that present day believers have been lulled into complacency, perhaps out of ignorance of the the message of 2 Thess. 2:7-11. How does this fare for the message of the "Left Behind" series? In the first book we see several characters who realize that what they had been told about Jesus was indeed true and they "come to faith." Since they had rejected the Gospel before the Rapture, how can we justify their salvation according to this Scripture? It grieves me to think that those to whom I have witnessed about Jesus Christ will have no opportunity to accept Him after the Rapture! Perhaps this should serve as a wake-up call for those who have, to date, chosen to ignore the Gospel message! And we, as believers, should be charged with telling them that there may be no "second chance" for them after Christ comes for His Bride! We should be pursuing evangelism with great fervor as we see the "Day" approaching . . . calling those we love to believe while it is still called "today!" The only comfort I have is that God is still sovereign and He will have compassion upon whom He choses. Perhaps many we know who miss the Rapture are part of that "elect" group the God will call out of the Great Tribulation! Although we eagerly await His appearing, these are sobering days! In Christ, Mommapbs |
||||||
318 | Who are the Believers after the Rapture? | 2 Thess 2:12 | Mommapbs | 43717 | ||
Using 2 Thess 2:7-11 as a reference, does this passage support the belief that those who had previously heard the Truth of the Gospel and rejected it, will be blinded or precluded from accepting it after the Rapture of the Church? It has been suggested that only those "left behind" who never heard the Truth of the Gospel will have an opportunity to accept Jesus Christ as their Savior from sin. What do you think? Please include Scripture references in your answer! |
||||||
319 | Accept support from only believers? | John 2:16 | Mommapbs | 42557 | ||
Greetings Steve: Although many believers feel the same way that you do (ref. III John:7) where did all the gold and silver come from that went into the building of the Tabernacle? According to Exodus 12:35-6, the Israelites plundered the Egyptians when they left. It seems to me that when the Tabernacle was eventually constructed, unless the former slaves of Egypt had been mining for gold in the desert, it was funded by the Gentiles! If all things come from the Hand of God, should we choose to accept only from believers? Your sister in the Lord, Mommapbs |

320 | Salvation by Grace or Works? | Luke 9:32 | Mommapbs | 39783 | ||
Greetings Forum Participants! Let's come together and present the plan of salvation according to God's Word for those who deny salvation by Grace. In the thread "What is a Christian," a participant has written the following statement: "Anyone who thinks that by claiming the death of Jesus they have found salvation. Better read the bible again. Revelation 21:12,13,14,15, I SAW THE DEAD,GREAT AND SMALL, STANDING BEFORE GOD; AND THE BOOKS WERE OPENED, INCLUDING THE BOOK OF LIFE. AND THE DEAD WERE JUDGED ACCORDING TO THE THINGS WRITTEN IN THE BOOK, EACH ACCORDING TO THE DEEDS HE HAD DONE. SO YOU SEE THERE WILL BE A HEARING, AND WE WILL BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR OUR SINS. AT JUDGEMENT DAY, THERE WILL BE NO REPENTANCE. REPENT NOW WHILE THERE IS TIME." Mommapbs |
