keras it looks like we've got off on a bad note ..... Perhaps it will stay that way.....judging from the crazy stuff you're coming up with I think we will probably butt heads again in the future.

I totally DISAGREE with you on this point and that's were we are going to have to leave it. One of us is right and the other is wrong. Let's leave it at that - I will drop in here again with more in depth points if I have time.

But I can say right now - keras your THEORY is nonsense. I'm sure you loved that statement too..... sorry but I'm very blunt. I hope you can handle it.

They are awakened in Revelation 7 [the crowd to large to number WEARING WHITE ROBES that John saw BEFORE THE THRONE OF GOD]to see God begin the seven trumpets plagues
The 'vast multitude' seen by John in Revelation 7-14 are not dead or spiritual people. You have added that idea the scripture.
They are plainly the Lord's faithful Christian people, who have passed through the great trial of the Sixth Seal worldwide disaster.
Any other theories of who they are, is just conjecture and made to suit something like the 'rapture to heaven' false doctrine.

Please don't mix up the people seen in Rev 7, with those in chapters 13 and 16.
The souls of the unrepentant sinners don't go to Heaven...they goes to Hades ...
None of the souls go anywhere until Judgement.

They are wearing WHITE ROBES LIKE THOSE WHO WERE SLAIN BECAUSE OF THEIR TESTIMONY OF JESUS MENTIONED IN REVELATION 6:9-11
Revelation 6
11 And there was given them to each one a white robe; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little time, until their fellow-servants also and their brethren, who should be KILLED even AS THEY WERE, should have fulfilled [their course].

Revelation 7:13-14 is the fulfillment ...the brethren who were KILLED as they were.


Revelation 7:13-14 KJV
13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, These that are arrayed in white robes, who are they, and whence came they?
14 ....these are those who came of great tribulation...

I can handle it, I am a majority with God, as I post the Bible truths.
You and most brainwashed Christians, simply can't comprehend God's plan for His people in the last days. Sad, really, as what must happen will be a very big surprise for all.

Anyone could buy a white dressing gown tomorrow.
Does that qualify them for the living in Rev 7:9 or the dead in Rev 6:9-11?
Two different people groups; but both are Gods faithful people.

Revelation 7:9-14 The great multitude to large to number wearing white robes are seen BEFORE the Throne of God in Heaven...wake up.

Revelation 6
11 And there was given them to each one a white robe; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little time, until their fellow-servants also and their brethren, who should be KILLED even AS THEY WERE, should have fulfilled [their course].

Revelation 7:9-14 is the fulfillment ...the brethren who SHOULD BE KILLED as they were.


Revelation 7:13-14 KJV
13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, These that are arrayed in White Robes, who are they, and whence came they?
14 ....these are they which came out of great tribulation...

They came out of great tribulation = they were martyred to death because of their testimony of Jesus, like those wearing white robes mentioned in Revelation 6:9-11.

This reply shows you to be a person who adds to scripture to suit your beliefs. A VERY serious matter.
Heaven is NOT mentioned in Revelation 7... at all. That chapter is describing earthly scenes, as the first 3 verses plainly show.
God's throne can be seen on earth if He wills it. Ezekiel 1:1, Acts 7:56

My point, is that the group in Rev 7:9, is different from the dead martyrs in Rev 6:9-11 because they have passed thru the great ordeal...Rev 7:14 They are living people, they wave palm branches as the Lord reveals Himself to them. 2 Thessalonians 1:10, Revelation 14:1

Revelation 7:1-8 is a Earthly scene
While
Revelation 7:9-14 is in Heaven

9 After these things I saw, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, out of every nation and of [all] tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, arrayed in white robes, and palms in their hands; 10 and they cry with a great voice, saying, Salvation unto our God who sitteth on the throne, and unto the Lamb.

11 And all the angels were standing round about the throne,and [about] the elders and the four living creatures; and they fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, 12 saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might, [be] unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.

See Revelation 4 and Revelation 5 for a detailed description of the Throne of God in Heaven ...

Wrong. The scripture does NOT say that.
Don't you take any notice of Ezekiel 1: and Acts 7:56? They prove the God's throne can be see on earth, if God will it. Remember heaven is a spiritual concept, for us it can be anywhere or everywhere.

That God's faithful Christian people from every tribe, race, nation and language do gather in all of the holy Land soon after all that area is cleared by the Sixth Seal, is well prophesied. John sees them there and later we know God's holy people are there from Daniel 7:25 and Revelation 13:7

God allows them to speak at times for His purposes. Usually those souls are resting until their number should be complete. Revelation 6:11

You have just admitted above that your version of "soul sleep" is wrong.

What are you going to do with this fact...

I think that there are 3 1/2 years of distress, before the return of Christ. The antichrist is the 8th king of Revelation - he is also the 6th king, and the 8th king is also the devil.

I think that the woman gets taken to a place of safety for 3 1/2 years, during the rule of the Antichrist. The writer of Revelation (Cerinthus) called it the wilderness. Both Daniel and Revelation have 3 1/2 years. The final period of the 70 weeks was not fulfilled, only partly fulfilled - that leaves 3 1/2 years, at the end, and the rule of the antichrist.
There is a period, when things continue as normal (days of Noah) and yet there is distress at the same time, during the tribulation.
At the end of the 3 1/2 years, Christ returns with the angels, and just prior to that, the sun, moon and stars shut off all light.

9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.

11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.


Although the above seems to be talking about Roman kings - with perhaps Nero or Galba (who knows?) as the king 'who is' - there might also be a future/present prophesy involved - the cryptic language of 'the beast that was, and is not' is about the devil - who is the 8th king.
It would be a lot easier if the writer had just used non-cryptic language all the time - but I think that the 8th king is the last king of the world, and there is a series of 8 kings - the 7th king only lasts a short time.

Jesus says something a bit different to the OT - he says that the stars fall to earth. During this period of darkness, I suspect that this means that fallen angels will fall to earth, before the final showdown. The tribulation period will be fairly normal to most people, going along as usual, until the return of Christ, 3 1/2 years later.

I believe the 7th king is the coming Antichrist and also Satan. The 8th king is for the world to come, at the end of Rev.20.

The 6th Seal is actually in 2 parts, it has a revelation of stars cast to the earth as untimely figs. I believe it links to Rev.12:7 forward for the tribulation timing.

I see the first 1260 days period of the Church being protected in the wilderness being metaphorical for spiritual protection, not literal physical protection. When the AOD is setup after that, that is when the actual time of "great tribulation" will be with the Antichrist demanding all to bow to the abomination idol.

Have you actually read Daniel 7:25 and Revelation 13:7 both are saying that the SAINTS WILL BE OVERCOME during the 42 months (3 1/2 years) reign of the Beast/Little Horn.

Daniel 7:25
25 And he shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High; and he shall think to change the times and the law; and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and half a time.


Revelation 13:7
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and there was given to him authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation.

The Christians will be overcome by the Beast/AC in 2 ways
1-Those who will take the mark and who will worship the Beast and his image will lose their Salvation [Revelation 14:9-12]

2-Those who will refuse to take mark and who will refuse to worship the Beast and his image will be killed [beheaded] Revelation 20:4-6]

The only ones cited to be under God's protection will be the 144,000 from the 12 Tribes of Israel [Revelation 7]and the Woman [Jews and some Christians from Jerusalem who will see the events mentioned in [Revelation 11:7-14 who will Give Glory to God]]who will flee in the Wilderness mentioned in Revelation 12:6 ..Revelation 12:13-17.

Hi Davy, in your thought process, have you considered that the beast (the 8th king) will be cast into the lake of fire, at Jesus's return in Revelation 19:20 right before before the millennium begins?https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Revelation-19-20/
Revelation 19:20And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

Then at the end of the millennium, Satan is also cast into the lake of fire.

Revelation 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

I am going to tell you that God can do whatever He likes. If He wants those souls of the martyrs to cry out, He will enable them to do so.
As this 'crying out' of Revelation 6:11, has not happened yet, but we are informed of it by prophecy, it may be that it is just metaphorical and just written so we know now that those dead souls must remain until all their number is complete.

So much for 'Bible Scholars'. Matthew 11:25
Ezekiel said he saw God and His throne, while standing by the river Kebar.
Stephen was about to die in Jerusalem and he saw God and His Throne.

We Christians will gather in Jerusalem and the Lord will reveal Himself to us. 2 Thessalonians 1:10, Revelation 14:1. Great will be the Day!
Have you actually read Daniel 7:25 and Revelation 13:7 both are saying that the SAINTS WILL BE OVERCOME during the 42 months (3 1/2 years) reign of the Beast/Little Horn.
Please don't make silly insinuations like 'Have you read the Bible'.

I used those two quotes to prove that God's holy people are present in the holy Land, at the time the leader of the One World Govt conquers them.
They are not recent converts, but all the living faithful Christians, as many Bible prophesies prove.
Revelation 12:6-17 shows how they are divided into two groups; one taken to a place of safety and the other must remain and face persecution. Zechariah 14:1-2

Yes, the scripture says he was.
What relevance does that have to the earthly scene that John saw?
Revelation 14:1 is about the 144,000 who were sealed in Revelation 7:1-8
The 144,000 are selected by Jesus out of the 'vast multitude'.
Any other interpretation of Revelation 7, forces the given sequence out of order and is made to suit another agenda.

Totally wrong...Revelation 7:1-8 say clearly that the 144,000 are selected among the 12 Tribes of Israel.....ADD to that ,than you are unable to see that what follow described in Revelation 7:9-17 is another scene that John saw while he was in the spirit ,clearly happening in another location than Earth...

All these OT prophecies about the gathering of the people of God in the Land where they will live in peace and security and be a light to the other Nations refers to the gathering mentioned in Matthew 24:29-31 and 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 UNTO THE COMING OF JESUS IN THE CLOUDS.

We Christians ARE the Israel of God. Isaiah 66:21 and Revelation 5:10 prove that we are assigned to a tribe when we go to live in all of the holy Land. Isaiah 62:1-5
ADD to that ,than you are unable to see that Revelation 7:9-17 is another scene that John saw while he was in the spirit happening in another location than Earth...
I don't see that, because it isn't there.
Revelation 7 is all abut earthly events; the gathering of every faithful Christian, the selection of those who will proclaim the good news of the coming Kingdom, Isaiah 66:18b-19, and then from verse 15-17, how it will be in Eternity.
All these OT prophecies about the gathering of the people of God in the Land where they will live in peace and security refers to the gathering mentioned in Matthew 24:29-31 and 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 UNTO THE COMING OF JESUS IN THE CLOUDS.
Your valueless and unsupported opinion. Do the prophesies I posted in #217, mean nothing to you?
Note that at that time, all the Christians will know the Lord has done great things for them. Psalms 37:39-40
Jesus is not physically present as yet, until all takes place, that is prophesied to happen before that glorious Day.

Revelation 7 is all abut earthly events; the gathering of every faithful Christian, the selection of those who will proclaim the good news of the coming Kingdom, Isaiah 66:18b-19, and then from verse 15-17, how it will be in Eternity.
Parts of Revelation 7 are about the 144,000 being sealed here on earth, yes. But not the parts of Revelation 7 Riberra referred to - Revelation 7:9-17. Those are in heaven.

keras, I notice you have a habit of not addiressing the text other posters mention - that text itself.

Address Revelation 7:9-17 and explain using the words of that text how it is not taking place in heaven.

This forum could use a lot less of that sort of commentary coming from you.... and from a bunch of other people in this forum, not just you. It doesn't mean anything and does help matters.
