Bible Question:
Greetings again Mel! You stated, "who is better qualified to reveal what "seven classes" of men acknowledge on the Day the sun ceases to shine? These classes will be hiding in the mountains from the invading armies in the valley of Megiddo." I looked throughout Matthew and Zechariah, but I could not find any reference to the "seven classes" of men.. Would you mind giving me some Scriptural support? Thank you! Your Brother in Christ, Makarios |
Bible Answer: Hi Makarios There are two groups of "seven." Rev.6:15; 19:18. One group hides in the mountains to escape those who make up the armies invading Israel to fight against the Lamb. See Rev.17:14 and Rev.16:14. It is clear they are not exactly the same group as in 6:15. See final paragraph. Some "kings of the earth" gather against Christ in Rev.17:14; Rev.16:14 and Rev.19:19. And they hide in the mountains in Rev.6:15. They not only take part in "gathering their armies against Christ"; but also may turn tail and hide from them in the mountains. They all "know the wrath of the Lamb has come," but many Jews will not believe John's message until they see Christ appear and "know their kingdom is near." See Luke 21:28,31. Jesus addresses the Jews in this passage; and the Elect in Matt.24 and Mark 13. The Elect, after the tribuation, (mentioned in Matthew and Mark) are "gathered above" by Jesus before the Jews "know their kingdom is near." And even the "kings" who call on the Lord will be "rescued" from physical death. Joel 2:31,32 and Luke 17:33. They may not become saved to join the sheep nations; but may still be "kept alive" if they recognize they will die if they "seek to save themselves." These rescued kings will become separate heads of "sheep or goat nations" who will rise up during the Millennium to fight in the battle of Gog and Magog OR become the "kings and nations that bring their glory into the New Jerusalem." Rev.21:24,26. Click "archives" on my homepage, www.lastday.net to read Message number 348 on "sheep nations inheriting the eternal kingdom" while the goat nations are cast into Hell at the end of the Millennium to fulfill Matt.25:32,41! Note, of the seven, "rich men" are found only in the group that hide in the mountains. They are missing from the list "gathered against the Lamb" in Rev.19:18. "Horses" take the place of "rich men."
