Again i use God's Word and you are offended by Zion. Seek ask and fine.I am not going to even read that post as i warned you about your emotional flooding. You are just using a truth you can twist to support your writing your own Bible.
Like David had His court Jesus has His elect. SaviorS not savior.I knew you did not understand that and that is what I was referring to when I said "butchering." You have indeed butchered the meaning of it.
Christ alone is that king/priests according to the manner of Melchizedek, he alone having no beginning dependent upon his birth as a human. But I see that this is a part of your ideas that humans existed first as spirits. No wonder your thinking is so messed up.
If it satisfies the conceit in you to see that as taking offense then be my guest. I don't expect you to get over yourself.Again i use God's Word and you are offended by Zion. Seek ask and fine.
Amen, in the sense of the dominion given at Genesis 1:26-28. Not in the sense it applies to Christ that he is king for ever. For he always was king over all appointed of God before he came to earth from heaven. The associate kings cast their crowns before God and the Lamb. Christ Jesus does not.Revelation 1:6
and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father—to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.
Revelation 5:10
You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth."
Yes, I have been saying just what you said here. So we know we agree on this much.There are two groups of people I the book of Revelation; those who overcome (God’s elect) and everyone else.
Notice there is a distinction between the great multitudes BEFORE the throne (Rev. 7:9) in comparison to the overcomer who Christ will grant to sit with me on my throne (Rev. 3:21) .
Rev. 7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
Rev. 3: 21To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. 22He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
The Book of Revelation is the most spiritual book in the entire Bible and it not written to the lost, the heathen or the soulish man. Most soulish men may be religious and can no hear the spiritual message in the book of Revelation. Those who are hearing the book of revelation are not the lost, not the religious; but God's elect.
And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. (Re 22:17 KJV)
This is not a call to basic salvation for the lost; this is a call to feast upon the deep things of God to those who have spiritual ears to hear, not those who have religious ears or those who never have been called.
Carnal man or religious man cannot take the water of life freely. Religious man hears his creed, dogmas, religious idealism’s, Popes, preachers etc. But they do not hear God divine word. You see hearing spiritually is for the out called the multitude of believers who only hear what they can mimic from the multitude of religious baby-lon all over the world.

What you are missing is the Melchizedek order. yes there is but one King of kings and Lord of lords but there are many saviorS at Mount Zion.As I said, "Christ alone is that king/priests according to the manner of Melchizedek, he alone having no beginning dependent upon his birth as a human. But I see that this is a part of your ideas that humans existed first as spirits. No wonder your thinking is so messed up."
What you fail to reason in is that the kingdom of Christ is returned back to God as Paul describes at
1 Corinthians 15:28.
However, Christ was a king over all with God before coming to earth and so he is a king forever just as (or, according to the manner of) Melchizedek. That cannot be said of the rest. Even though they reign forever in this sense of the dominion God gave at Genesis 1:28, there was only one Melchizedek and that one is Christ. Many kings associated themselves with Melchizedek while he was on the scene and that did not make them Melchizedek but pictorial of those elect who become associate kings with Christ.
What you fail to realize is the Kingdom of Priest and what is Melchizedek? But a King and Priest. This is the overcomer, the saviorS, the firstfruits, the Tabernacle of David. David was King and lived at Mount Zion but he also had a courtAs I said, "Christ alone is that king/priests according to the manner of Melchizedek, he alone having no beginning dependent upon his birth as a human.

Amen. I also see the number twelve as divine government.Revelations Grand Climax book published by the WTBTS, speaks of that number, “24”, as follows:
“What is significant about the number 24, in that John sees 24 elders around the throne? In many respects, these were foreshadowed by the faithful priests of ancient Israel. The apostle Peter wrote to anointed Christians:
“You are ‘a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for special possession.’” (1 Peter 2:9)
Interestingly, that ancient Jewish priesthood came to be divided into 24 divisions. Each division was assigned its own weeks in the year to serve before Jehovah, so that sacred service was rendered without a break. (1 Chronicles 24:5-19) It is fitting, then, that there are 24 elders depicted in John’s vision of the heavenly priesthood because this priesthood serves Jehovah continually, without ceasing. When completed, there will be 24 divisions, each with 6,000 conquerors, for Revelation 14:1-4 tells us that 144,000 (24 x 6,000) are “bought from among mankind” to stand on the heavenly Mount Zion with the Lamb, Jesus Christ. Since the number 12 signifies a divinely balanced organization, 24 doubles—or strengthens—such an arrangement.”
I agree with that but also see that the 12 + 12 represents equal representation for both Jews and Gentiles. And the twenty four divisions also represent coverage of every timezone of this earth so that the entire earth is represented by these elders.
Our God is indeed most gracious and we ourselves know that the determination of anyone's guilt is justly mitigated by a person's capacity to understand. For that reason we know enough not to hang a young child with the penalties formulated for a mature adult. And we know that the reality is that mental/emotional maturity cannot be determined by age alone. Our most gracious God knows this better than us. And on that basis I feel it safe to say without being presumptuous that many more will be saved than we can know. Yet not all as some like Soars Like And Eagle would have us believe.Buzz, some very enlightening things you've posted in this thread and is appreciated and is not all landing on deaf ears. Be blessed.
You give Satan far to much glory. But that is what happens when you do not believe God is not in total controlOur God is indeed most gracious and we ourselves know that the determination of anyone's guilt is justly mitigated by a person's capacity to understand. For that reason we know enough not to hang a young child with the penalties formulated for a mature adult. And we know that the reality is that mental/emotional maturity cannot be determined by age alone. Our most gracious God knows this better than us.

The more thinking ability we prove to have, the more culpable we are for what we believe and teach and do. And that is why James counseled that we should not be many teachers. Accepting the responsibility to teach others is synonymous with accepting that we must take extra care to make sure that what we teach is right. And when we accept the responsibility to teach we have to know that we become a main target of Satan via that choice. And he is very sly in his manipulations of those who prize themselves on being intelligent. Just as God is using the foolish to confound the wise, so also Satan uses the wisdom of the wise against them but it is their fault when he does so. They failed to make sure of their calling and promoted themselves out of pride and then did not have enough real sense to see the machinations Satan allured them through and with. And in so doing they reap a heavier judgment to themselves when all the while they could have remained just humble ordinary sheep whose ignorance could have been justly considered as a righteous reason to give them more time. For the prideful all too often become so set in their hearts relishing of their own capabilities that they absolutely become beyond repentance whether God sends the one from the dead or ten thousand to tell them of their error.
Amen. I have a saying that I sometimes use which goes like, "when I get it right, it's Holy Spirit speaking through me", and "when I get it wrong, it's just me". So much for humility, which is one of the reasons that God says that true believers are to fellowship one another and to edify (build each other up), that fellowship being built around Him.Our God is indeed most gracious and we ourselves know that the determination of anyone's guilt is justly mitigated by a person's capacity to understand.

Being as I explained that to you once before your referring to it again highlights another casualty of your being so full of your own reasoning. You don't retain what you are told so that you can later compare it to additional thoughts.What you are missing is the Melchizedek order. yes there is but one King of kings and Lord of lords but there are many saviorS at Mount Zion.
Those over-comers do not ever become high-priests as is Christ. Melchizedek was a high-priest with no lineage found for him among the flesh, the same is the actual reality of Christ in the flesh. God made him totally new in Mary's womb. And because all true Israel is actually spiritual God had every right to do that. He has done that for no others. That was to get a replacement to us for our fallen father Adam.What you fail to realize is the Kingdom of Priest and what is Melchizedek? But a King and Priest. This is the overcomer, the saviorS, the firstfruits, the Tabernacle of David. David was King and lived at Mount Zion but he also had a court
Revelation 1:6 and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father—to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.

You are right they are part of the Melchizedek order.Those over-comers do not ever become high-priests as is Christ.

I will put something together to address your river in your post 594. Just be patient until I post it.
