Chapter 7 speaks of 144000 Jews 12000 from each of 12 tribes of Israel receiving the seal -where do you get all Christians get sealed ?Then we see in Revelation 7, how the Lord's people are gathered into the holy Land, all the Christians from every nation, sealed under the Lord's protection.
Well I can't agree with this. Most TV evangelists are dispensationalists and believe all Christians will be raptured before the time of the mark of the beast.For the last ten or more years, beg televangles have been telling them it is okay.
I reckon in brik and mortar buildings the same things has been happening too.
See online exposes for names and nmbers.
Those things that we have both seen and heard , these things we testify to you.Well I can't agree with this. Most TV evangelists are dispensationalists and believe all Christians will be raptured before the time of the mark of the beast.
All the Christians from every race, nation and language are in the holy Land; robed in white, waving palm branches and praising God. Revelation 7:9 proved by Revelation 14:1Chapter 7 speaks of 144000 Jews 12000 from each of 12 tribes of Israel receiving the seal -where do you get all Christians get sealed ?
The text lists Only the 144000 having a seal and no mention of anyone else having a seal.All the Christians from every race, nation and language are in the holy Land; robed in white, waving palm branches and praising God. Revelation 7:9 proved by Revelation 14:1
It is out of them that Jesus selects the 144,000, of whom only 12,000 are of Judah, Messianic Jews, the rest are from the other 11 tribes, still in exile, but now Christians.
The 144,000 receive a special seal for their task of proclaiming the good news of the coming Kingdom to all the world. Luke 10:1-10 is the precursor to this.
The rest of the vast multitude of faithful Christians are under God's protection as well.
'The Mark of the Beast' - Jamaicans wary of new ID system (Jamaica Star)
Additionally in the latest news the following:
Police warn Jamaicans against protesting NIDS by blocking roads
Thus far I have heard two prominent radio broadcasters saying the connection people are making between the National Identity Systems and the Mark of The Beast is foolishness, with one saying that people who connect the NID's with the Market of The Beast are a fool and stupid. Their words show a complete disrespect and disregard to God, and Christian listeners.
Christians need to be aware that are those occupying prominent positions who look down on the Bible and Christians. They may seem nice, seem to be people persons, but the truth is there are those who think that Christians are stupid, and gets extremely angry whenever Christians mention anything from the bible.
God, however, knows their thoughts, motives, and intentions, nothing is a surprise to him.
The Bible describes who a fool is Psalms 14:
[1] The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
[2] The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.
[3] They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
[4] Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.
[5] There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.
[6] Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor because the LORD is his refuge.
[7] Oh that the salvation of Israel was come out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
The Mark of The Beast and the National I.D System are connected. This is where the Anti-Christ will use a system similar to the National I.D, to keep track of and control people worldwide. This is a fact whether persons want to accept it or not.The NIDS Jamaica system is not the Mark of the Beast itself but is similar to the Mark of the Beast in the future. The Mark of The Beast is a worldwide system not just confined to Jamaica alone.
I also need to share that several times God has shown me that there is a freemasonry connection to the National I.D system in Jamaica. This is where Freemasons in Jamaica are supporting NIDS behind the scenes. That is why there is such an urgent push for the National I.D system in Jamaica. There are persons who speak out in support of the National I.D, without the general public being aware of their connection with Freemasonry. Therefore all cards are not on the table, exposed.
I didn't say they all had God's Seal. Just His protection.The text lists Only the 144000 having a seal and no mention of anyone else having a seal.
The vast number of people from all nations are standing in front of the 24 elders at the Throne of God , so the throne of God is in heaven
Highly respected bible scholar A.T. Robertson taught that those people were those who on a continual basis - be it natural death , killed during the Great Trib , or die in some way serving Christ during the Great Trib are coming into the presence of Gods throne in heaven all through the Great Trib , which seems more likely to me .
There is no indication in scripture where that many people would be assembled together
during the time of Gods wrath happening on earth, as that would be well over billions of people ....
And you saying there are no Highly Respected people who have a vast deep understanding of Biblical studies exist ? Yet you present yourself as someone who thinks he knows more than anyone else , You cannot handle it when people disagree with youHighly respected scholars are those to whom Jesus said: I thank You Father, for hiding these things from the learned and wise..... Matthew 11:25
I am just repeating what Jesus said. Seems you can't handle the Words of Jesus.And you saying there are no Highly Respected people who have a vast deep understanding of Biblical studies exist ? Yet you present yourself as someone who thinks he knows more than anyone else , You cannot handle it when people disagree with you
Seems that the scripture understanding is hidden from you
I wonder if they will incorporate a phone into it. If they made it a chip that is implanted into the skin doing what a phone does snow, phone calls, messages, contactless payments, etc (it would need a separate screen of course, maybe a tablet with the chip running wifi to it). People would clamour for it and only the few would try to avoid it.Revelation 13:17
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
That is the only description of the mark that I am aware of. It is one of 3 things, a mark of some kind, the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
So it's easy to see, thought the mark could entail some type of tracking system it is most certainly not necessarily that, as a matter of fact, that would not be too smart, people would certainly catch on and never take it. I mean look what these people are doing already? And not that I blame them, shows they are on their toes/aware.
Also we already have a tracking system... anyone going to protest those lovely cell phones? As far as I know, if you own a phone and with some doing, a satellite can zoom right in on you....period. Did they slip that one by us as we watched for a chip?
I know yours is a popular opinion on the mark, tracking people in one way or another will almost have to play into this, and the phone technology/gps could be placed on the person at one point or another. Then between that or even what we have already, and the data banks, it's all that's needed...a bit more tweaking and it's a done deal.
Point being, I don't necessarily disagree, just stay open to several possibilities, and remember, Satan it a tricky little devil.
Now just because God can put His Throne wherever he wants , does not mean he moves it anywhere -to suit human theologyI am just repeating what Jesus said. Seems you can't handle the Words of Jesus.
Your rejection of that and belief in the theory of people going to live in heaven, that is never mentioned in the Bible, is an indictment against all who choose false beliefs.
The test I refer to is the one prophesied by 1 Peter 4:12, Hebrews 10:27, Romans 1:18 and Matthew 3:11-12. It will be the Sixth Seal, the Day of the Lord's wrath, a well prophesied worldwide disaster.
Then we see in Revelation 7, how the Lord's people are gathered into the holy Land, all the Christians from every nation, sealed under the Lord's protection.
We will live in the new nation of Beulah, Isaiah 62:1-5, formed in one Day, Isaiah 66:7-14 and living in peace and prosperity.
We will not be a part of the One World Govt, proved by how their leader comes to us and makes a 7 year treaty. So, never fear we do not have to take the Mark of the beast and when he does conquer Beulah, Zechariah 14:1-2, Revelation 13:5-7, those faithful Christians will be taken to a place of safety. Revelation 12:14
Goatee, His time is not our time. To an eternal God 2000 years isn't even a flash of a light bulb. Meanwhile most of prophecy has been fulfilled, real lifetime events with dates attached, occurring over thousands of years, except for what remains and what remains are the final end times events. Make no mistake about it, they will happen too. But nobody can say when. What we do know is that it has not happened yet. Scripture, regardless of who is reading it, regardless of denomination or religious system, is very clear on this, it's 6th grade vocabulary, and it speaks of physical world changing events that have not occurred as yet but we absolutely are seeing some of the signs that Jesus' red letter words warn us to look out for.. He said when you see these things that the time is approaching, it is near, He said. It is not the time but it draws near.Revelation was written 2,000 years ago.
It states at the very beginning that these things will happen soon. End times as you believe it is not going to happen. It's all fantasy my friend. It's reading out of the scripture with the wrong mindset.
End time prophecies these days are two a penny!
You have hung your hat on the certainty of the interpretation that soon would mean that it would have had to happen with in a set time from near when Jesus said it. Peter speaking by the Holy Spirit of these days said 1 Beloved, I now write to you this second epistle (in both of which I stir up your pure minds by way of reminder), 2 that you may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us,[fn] the apostles of the Lord and Savior, 3 knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, 4 and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.”Revelation was written 2,000 years ago.
It states at the very beginning that these things will happen soon. End times as you believe it is not going to happen. It's all fantasy my friend. It's reading out of the scripture with the wrong mindset.

True....however here the clear Biblical warning for all those who will be alive on the Earth during the 42 months reign of the Beast [Revelation 13].Note that if you refuse to take the mark your head will be chopped off and you will probably be tortured before you head is chopped ...Most people probably would take any mark if alternative was watching their family starve but usually in these theoretical situations people are far more noble, courageous and God fearing.
It is easy enough to talk about being willing to starve rather than take a possible mark of the beast when your belly is full. After you have been without food for couple of days it is usually a different story.
