When someone chooses one verse out of many for a definition, I know they are not doing due diligence on exegesis.

There is no such thing as one New Testament believer being "more worthy" than any other. We are all brothers and sisters in Christ and all are joint heirs with Jesus Christ.

Its surely not enough place if they are placed under your table, but the numbers of those martyrs under the Altar, even God knew be4 the world is created.
The SOULS of the martyrs that John saw under the Altar of God in Heaven were the SOULS of the first Christians martyrs like the 12Apostles...

Was salvation by faith alone a "new doctrine" when Martin Luther began teaching it? It had not been hear for hundreds of years! But was it "NEW?" No, Paul wrote it!

And Paul wrote of a pretrib rapture. Is it therefore "new?" Not a chance: it is almost 2000 years old now.

You can replay this same post over and over; it will still not be truth. We know better. A snow job" will not work here. God will indeed raise up the Old Testament saints on the "last day," but those in Christ will be raised 7 plus years before this.

God never said they were REMAIN under the altar! Then, around 95 AD, there was a small number.

I repeat: saying that just because people believe we will remain on earth, we will get beaten up during the Great Trib: that is wrong and contradicts Bible teaching of how the Lord will protect His own.
So go ahead and show us a verse about this protection that pertains to the days of great tribulation. In fact, there are two verses that explain it: both say the saints will be overcome.

Extrapolation gone wild! Angels wear white robes (at times). Are they also "saints?"

Where do you get this? They were SEEN under the altar in John's vision, but there is no verse saying they will STAY there for 2000 years. And there is no verse telling us they will miss the wedding.

More sloppy exegesis, and cherry picking scriptures.

Ephesians 4:12 [Full Chapter]
for the training of the saints in the work of ministry, to build up the body of Christ,

Are these saints dead? Maybe you should stand in a cemetery and teach the dead saints!

I urge everybody to review this very important video as the TIME IS SHORT. This Jubilee Year 5777 will end next week 16 March 2018.
The time is short for WHAT ?What is suppose to happen if you are still there AFTER 16 March 2018 ?

You are not the Bride if you're leftbehind, beaten black and blue then beheaded.
Then be prepare to get your head chopped off ...because there is no mention in the Bible that Jesus will come before the Tribulation ...

Your dream of the wise virgins being taken to Heaven while the rest of the Church will go into the Tribulation come from a Satanic vision that a young girl named Margaret Mac Donald had on her sick bed in 1830 who have been recuperated and promoted by your messiah John Nelson Darby...

We are also told when WE will go to the mansions. It is too bad you don't see it.

Revelation 3:12-13 tell us that only those who OVERCOME will have access to New Jerusalem when New Jerusalem the City of God will come down out of Heaven to the Earth...which refer to Revelation 21.

Revelation 3:12-13
12 He that overcometh, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go out thence no more: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God, and mine own new name.

13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.

Confirmed in Revelation 21:7

7 He that overcometh shall inherit these things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

There is a specific mention about the great crowd to large to number wearing WHITE ROBES that John saw before the Throne of God in Heaven
Revelation 7:13-14
14These are they that come of great tribulation

----->What tribulation can be greater than being martyred to death ?

Ephesians 4:11-13
11 And He personally gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, 12 for the training of the saints in the work of ministry, to build up the body of Christ, 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of God’s Son, growing into a mature man with a stature measured by Christ’s fullness.

All those mentioned in the passage have ended SAINTS MARTYRS ...

-The OT PROPHETS have been killed in Jerusalem.

-The 12 Apostles have ended martyrs and all those who were caught preaching the Gospel during the First Century have ended Martyrs for their testimony of Jesus and the Word of God..
Revelation 6:9-11
9 And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of them that had been slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: 10 and they cried with a great voice, saying, How long, O Master, the holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

They are waiting for this: Revelation 16 --->That God avenge the Blood of ALL the SAINTS MARTYRS...

Revelation 16:6
6 for they poured out the blood of the saints and the prophets, and blood hast thou given them to drink: they are worthy.

Yes Daniel 7:25 and Revelation 13:7 both tell us that the holy people of the Most High will be conquered by the Anti-Christ. Daniel 11:29-31, Zechariah 14:1
But we see in Daniel 11:32 that the Lord's people, every faithful Christian will split into two groups; ones who 'violate the Covenant with God and those who remain faithful to God.
This split is confirmed by Zechariah 14:2 and Revelation 12:6 and 17, where the first group must remain in the holy Land, but the faithful ones leave, God takes them to a place of safety on earth.
Note: that only the Christians mentioned in Rev 12:17 will face persecution.

Note well, too; that this truth of what will happen is a total refutation of the 'rapture to heaven' theory. This fanciful idea will never happen, Jesus said so: John 3:13 You say it's Paul's teaching - where does Paul say that Christians will go to heaven before facing any trials?
We are also told when WE will go to the mansions. It is too bad you don't see it.
I see what the Bible tell us quite well.
John 14:3 does not say that when Jesus Returns, we go the heaven to live in those 'mansions'. We will go to where His is, that will be in Jerusalem. And that is where John sees the vast multitude in Revelation 7:9

John 14 tells us Jesus will take US to the mansions a thousand plus years before the Holy City will come down.

Sorry, Daniel 11:32 is about HISTORY: what the Jews did during the days of the Maccabees.
You sure have things mixed up!

You have obviously missed some details that Jesus have given LATER to JOHN in Revelation....
That reward is for those who OVERCOME ...Jesus will write their names of propriety ...then we will inherit it in due time...

Revelation 3:12
12 He that overcometh, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go out thence no more: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God, and mine own new name.

Revelation 21:7
7 He that overcometh shall inherit these things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

To overcome means to overcome whatever holds you back or prevents you from serving God totally in this world - some believers accept Jesus then fall back into drug abuse or alcoholism , to others it is fornication or homosexuality , and the things that Jesus stated outright that he holds against those in chap 2 and 3 -accepting Christ as savoir for a few years then falling back into serving false gods is not being an overcomer

-turning your life around and serving God with all your heart , mind and soul is being an overcomer - if you hold fast onto Him and do not forsake Him -He will not forsake you
