    Blessed are the dead, those who die in the Lord from this moment on

    The 144,000 "First-fruits" were raised from their graves as a group of Jewish OT saints which the Son of Man "harvested" by Himself with that sickle in Rev. 14:14-16. This group "harvest" took place on the same day that Christ arose from the dead. The newly-ascended and crowned Christ in...

    Blessed are the dead, those who die in the Lord from this moment on

    Not a problem. Honest doubts are a good thing. YES, it really was an astounding number, considering. It was what gave rise to the error being taught by Hymenaeus and Philetus who were saying "the resurrection is PAST already". So many were resurrected on that day in AD 33 that these two men...

    The rider on the white horse

    Yes, in truth I think this is how Christ the white horse rider went forth "conquering and to conquer". It also brings to mind the language in Psalms 45:1-7. "My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer...

    The rider on the white horse

    This white horse rider in Revelation 6:2 "went forth conquering and to conquer". This is reminiscent of the verse which tells us "We are more than conquerors through Him that loved us..." (Romans 8:37). Didn't the ascending Christ tell His disciples in Matthew 28:18-19 just before He left...

    Blessed are the dead, those who die in the Lord from this moment on

    You are asking the same question I put to our Sunday school leader. The man couldn't answer me. So I did my own Scripture study on this point years ago and discovered the answer to what "from henceforth" meant for those who died in the Lord. Yes, the verse immediately following DOES mention...

    What is the Mark of the Beast ?

    This is your own definition. It is not the definition of "First-fruits" as stated in scripture. It took more than just Christ's crucifixion and resurrection to make that possible for us. It took His ascending to the Father that day and "offering Himself without spot to God" and having that...

    What is the Mark of the Beast ?

    You are still failing to address why the 144,000 were also referred to as "the First-fruits unto God and unto the Lamb". This wasn't just a "KIND of First-fruits", as in James 1:18, but the 144,000 resurrected Jewish tribal members actually WERE the "First-fruits" as well as "Christ the...

    What is the Mark of the Beast ?

    Sure, I don't mind flipping the discussion over to there. But It is you who is making the misinterpretation of 1 Cor. 15:20-23 when the word is actually "First-fruits" PLURAL. And you can't arbitrarily change it to "First-fruit", because that isn't what scripture says either.

    What is the Mark of the Beast ?

    Not if scripture doesn't give us any more than the one man Enoch being translated. We can't go any further than scripture gives us leave. That is NOT just "First". Christ was the "First-fruits". That is an Israelite agricultural term in scripture for a harvest, and it wasn't just a single...

    What is the Mark of the Beast ?

    This is SCRIPTURE'S LONE EXCEPTION to the rule - not mine. If you can come up with another example of an individual in scripture who escaped the one-time-only physical death sentence passed upon all men, feel free to submit it here (and Elijah is not one of them, as he died just like any other...

    What is the Mark of the Beast ?

    There was a single exception to this rule - Enoch who was translated that he should not see death. No other exceptions are mentioned in scripture. Nobody else gets off this planet without passing through the death process of all who are "in Adam". "As in Adam all die; even so, in Christ...

    What is the Mark of the Beast ?

    It's true...when you and I are making our points from different translations of the scripture, these can vary and our positions will be opposed to each other. I prefer to use the more literal translations when it comes to reconciling the scriptures with each other. It is YOUR position that...

    What is the Mark of the Beast ?

    No, He wasn't. Christ Jesus was the first to ascend to the Father in a resurrected body. That made Him the "First-born" and the 'First-begotten". The word "First-fruits" is not the same title, because it is describing a group "harvest" of resurrected that is the first to rise. The...

    What is the Mark of the Beast ?

    But I agree with this ranked order of resurrections. "Christ the First-fruits" (as well as the Matt. 27:52-53 resurrected 144,000 First-fruits raised that same day) were ranked the FIRST in order of the group resurrection events. The "FIRST resurrection" of the "remnant of the dead" coming to...

    What is the Mark of the Beast ?

    No, the NT is not exactly "void" of teaching about the many Matthew 27:52-53 resurrected saints. I believe Paul wrote about these resurrected Matt. 27:52-53 individuals. He wrote to the Romans that "ourselves also, which HAVE the First-fruits of the Spirit..." These "First-fruits" of the...
