Nope.
You left off Rev 19, which changes all that you posted.
Rev 19 is AFTER the Jewish gathering and your ENTIRE TIMELINE.( after your strict misplacement of "wrath vs trib")
REV 19 is the second coming on white horses.
The white horse coming ENDS the wrath, and ends the AC.
The second coming occurs at the 6th seal. Here it is in Matthew 24.

Matthew 24
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

If you are unable to see that the signs in the sun, moon and stars occur at the 6th seal............there's nothing I can do.

There are no white horses in Matthew 24. There is only Jesus coming and sending His angels for a harvest. There is no Armageddon in Matthew 24. There's only Jesus coming immediately after the tribulation and before the wrath of God.

The firstfruits are gathered to heaven, not to the clouds.

Here we go again. I don't recall saying first fruits are gathered to the clouds. In Rev 14 Jesus comes first for the 144,000 first fruits. They are in heaven before throne.

Revelation 14
3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.

Jesus returns for the harvest and remains in the clouds. All go to heaven for the marriage supper. This occurs at the 6th seal.

Revelation 14
14 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.

15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.

16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.


So you have a total inconsistent harvest.
You have firstfruits gathered to heaven, in rev 14
Wait a minute. You just accused me of having first fruits in the clouds? Change your mind?
They are in heaven.

then, main harvest of JEWS hovering in the clouds.
The point is...........JESUS REMAINS IN THE CLOUDS.............He does not come physically to the earth...........He sends His angels to gather the elect.

Then the total inconsistency of main "JEWISH ONLY MAIN harvest" of rev 14:14 being non Jews.
HUH?????
Where did I say that they were not of the 12 tribes? HUH????

You have wheat gathered with grapes??????.
No I don't. Off you go again coming up with false conclusions. The Church is the grain harvest, barley and wheat, before the tribulation which is before the seals are opened. The 12 tribes are raptured in the fruit harvest. This occurs in at the 6th seal, immediately after the tribulation and before the wrath of God.

Tribulation is not wrath.
You can not explain rev 14: 14

Off we go again. What are you talking about? Rev 14:14 is Jesus coming for the second harvest, the fruit harvest. Those raptured off the earth are of the 12 tribes as they sing the song of Moses. This occurs at the 6th seal, and is the second coming when all eyes see the coming of the Lord. Jesus does not land physically on the earth. All are taken to heaven for the marriage supper, hence the great multitude in heaven and remain there until the return with the armies of heaven at the end of wrath which is the end of Rev 19
...nor can you explain rev 19.
Again. See above.

The parable of the wedding has the people gathered to the wedding.
You have gatherings to other places.
You need rev 14:14 changed and rev 19 changed.
Off we go again. False conclusions over and over.

Rev 14 occurs at the 6th seal immediately after the tribulation of those days. Jesus does not come to the SURFACE of the earth. He remains in the clouds and sends His angels to gather the elect from heaven and earth. All return to heaven for the marriage supper. At the end of the marriage supper the armies of heaven follow Jesus on white horses and wrath is soon complete. What is so hard to understand?

The Israelites who are sealed ,are sealed at the time of God's wrath upon Israel and Judah.
Ezekiel documents what happens to all the other Israelis who are not sealed.Its not a pleasant picture.
Those of the 12 tribes that are sealed are already in heaven before the wrath of God. Believers are not appointed to wrath.

The resurrection(when the 144,000 are redeemed from the soil)takes place at the time of the great tribulation Not before.

No one who names are written are delivered before the great tribulation.
No problem here. And the tribulation is over before the 7th seal wrath of God begins.

So you believe hundreds of millions of people including children dying from burns,poison and other terrible plagues and suffering agonizing death is not distress or tribulation.

Luke 21
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.



You say this time of distress with perplexity is no distress(tribulation) at all.According to you,the great tribulation is a few christians in Israel being killed.

This time of great tribulation Jesus is describing in Luke 21:25-27 corresponds to the 6th seal.Not the 5th seal.
There are no signs in the heavens during the 5th seal.There is after the 6th seal is opened.



Luke 21
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.



The wrath of God is the 6th seal.Here are the Israelis who have taken the mark of the beast hiding in their bomb shelters.

Revelation 6
17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

In Ezekiel 9,the man clothed in linen is instructed to go throughout Jerusalem putting a mark in the foreheads of them who cry for all the abominations .He is not instructed to take them to heaven.Just put a mark on them.They are still in Israel when the rest of Israel and Judah who have committed great sin, are suffering the wrath of God.Them who are marked are not hurt.

This wrath of God and sealing of God's servants in revelation 6-7 corresponds to the same events in Ezekiel 9.

The second coming occurs at the 6th seal. Here it is in Matthew 24.

Matthew 24
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

If you are unable to see that the signs in the sun, moon and stars occur at the 6th seal............there's nothing I can do.
Yep. The descriptions are too similar to ignore.

There are no white horses in Matthew 24. There is only Jesus coming and sending His angels for a harvest. There is no Armageddon in Matthew 24. There's only Jesus coming immediately after the tribulation and before the wrath of God.
I've never seen anyone go back and forth between saying things that are true and then saying things that are false quite the way you do. this is not how to interpret scripture. You can't expect two passages about the same event to contian all of the same details. There's no white horses in Matthew 24 because Matthew 24 is not part of an Apocaylyptic book containing a great deal of symbolism. The white horses are symbolic and not literal. They're not any more literal than the sword coming out of Christ's mouth while He's riding a white horse.

But, even if the horses were literal, that doesn't mean Matthew 24:29-31 can't be about the same event as Revelation 19:11-21. It's ludicrous to think that two passages can't be related unless they contain all the same details. Do you never relate two passages together unless they contain all the same details ? I doubt it.

You say Jesus comes before the wrath of God? No, He delievers the wrath of God on HIs enemies when He comes. Matthew 24:35-39 is referring to the same coming of Jesus as Matthew 24:29-31 and He describes destroying unbelievers when He comes just as all unbelievers were killed in Noah's day by the flood. Him destroying unbelievers is s what is described in Revelation 19:11-21 as well. So, there is no basis whatsoever for concluding that Matthew 24:29-31 and Revelation 19:11-21 are not the same event. You conclude that because you don't understand the parallels within the book of Revelation and you use ridiculous reasoning that just because one passage doesn't mention a detail that the other does then that somehow means they are not the same event. That's nonsense. They contain similar details and neither passage contains any details that contradict the other.

That's what he has said many times. How did you conclude that he was saying that it corresponds with the 5th seal just because he said it happens before the 7th seal?

Read post 601 where he said this:

The Light said:
The second coming occurs at the 6th seal.

Agreed. IF they are indeed about the same thing. It seems to me that you ignore the details and just lump things together because you can't see they are separate

There's no white horses in Matthew 24 because Matthew 24 is not part of an Apocaylyptic book containing a great deal of symbolism. The white horses are symbolic and not literal. They're not any more literal than the sword coming out of Christ's mouth while He's riding a white horse.

It's ludicrous to think that two passages can't be related unless they contain all the same details. Do you never relate two passages together unless they contain all the same details ? I doubt it.
This is a harvest that occurs immediately after the great tribulation. This event occurs at the 6th seal. All go to heaven and are the great multitude. They remain in heaven during the 7th seal wrath of God and attend the marriage supper of the Lamb.

Matthew 24
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

This event happens AFTER the marriage supper. The armies of heaven return to the earth for Armageddon at the end of the 7th seal wrath of God.

Revelation 19
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.

It is impossible for these two events to be the same event. One is a harvest that occurs at the 6th seal before the marriage supper of the Lamb. The other is the armies of heaven returning to the earth at the end of Gods wrath, and this occurs AFTER the marriage supper.

You say Jesus comes before the wrath of God? No, He delievers the wrath of God on HIs enemies when He comes.
You agree that the coming of Jesus in Matthew 24 occurs at the 6th seal. So why don't you understand that Jesus comes and then afterward wrath begins.

Revelation 6
16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

Here's another view of the same event. Jesus comes for a harvest.

Revelation 14
14 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.

15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.

16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.

After Jesus comes wrath begins.

Revelation 14
19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
Matthew 24:35-39 is referring to the same coming of Jesus as Matthew 24:29-31 and He describes destroying unbelievers when He comes just as all unbelievers were killed in Noah's day by the flood. Him destroying unbelievers is s what is described in Revelation 19:11-21 as well.
Yes unbelievers will be destroyed in Gods wrath. Why do you skip the harvest that comes before the wrath of God. God will save His people. We are not appointed to wrath.

Matthew 24
40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

So, there is no basis whatsoever for concluding that Matthew 24:29-31 and Revelation 19:11-21 are not the same event.
See above. It is impossible for them to be the same event.

You conclude that because you don't understand the parallels within the book of Revelation
I do understand but I don't think you do.

I do think that you understand that the trumpets and vials occur in the same timeframe. That timeframe is the 7th seal. If I am wrong about this, I don't want to put words in your mouth.

and you use ridiculous reasoning that just because one passage doesn't mention a detail that the other does then that somehow means they are not the same event. That's nonsense. They contain similar details and neither passage contains any details that contradict the other.
My reasoning stems from the FACT that the fig tree has two harvests. If you don't understand this, you will not understand Revelation.

So you believe the evil people who are hiding underground from the lamb know the future.




According to Jesus ,the great tribulation is taking place when there are great fearful signs in the heavens .The sun ,the moon and the stars.Those great fearful signs are after the 6th seal is opened.Not the 5th or 7th

This is great tribulation described by Jesus in his Olivet discourse.

"there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; "



Luke 21
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;



This is when those great fearful signs in the heavens and tribulation of nations with perplexity
Not the 5th seal as you claim.


Revelation 6
12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.


14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.







This is the great tribulation(distress of nations with perplexity)Jesus is talking about in his Olivet discourse.

The evil people hiding underground from Jesus are what we call Israelis today.

Luke 23
28 But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.

29 For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.

30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.


Revelation 6
15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;

16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?






The Israelis will be making use of all those underground bomb shelters they have built.Maybe then they will realize they should have listened to all those Christians they beat in their synagogues and persecuted from city to city and wish they had not taken the mark of the beast.

I believe all eyes see the coming of the Lord at the 6th seal. Here's what happens at the 6th seal. This is why they hide in caves.

Matthew 24
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

According to Jesus ,the great tribulation is taking place when there are great fearful signs in the heavens .The sun ,the moon and the stars.Those great fearful signs are after the 6th seal is opened.Not the 5th or 7th

This is great tribulation described by Jesus in his Olivet discourse.

"there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; "



Luke 21
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
I think you missed this.

Matthew 24
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

You are claiming according to Jesus,the great tribulation is taking place when there are great fearful signs in the heavens .The sun ,the moon and the stars.Those great fearful signs are after the 6th seal is opened.Not the 5th or 7th

Do you not understand that the tribulation is over at the 6th seal? Do you not see the words IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE TRIBULATION? Do you not see the signs of the sun, moon and stars?


This is when those great fearful signs in the heavens and tribulation of nations with perplexity
Not the 5th seal as you claim.
The 5th seal is the great tribulation. The tribulation is over at the 6th seal as marked by the signs of the sun, moon and stars.

Revelation 6
12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.


14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

You need to rethink. This should get you started.

If you think Jerusalem is Babylon, you are barking up the wrong tree. Let's put things in context. Here is what Jesus is talking about. When they see the abomination of desolation they are to immediately flee. If you have a baby how much harder is it to flee? That is why it is woe to them that give suck in those days. Then there shall be great tribulation. And looking at the verse you posted they will be wanting the mountains to fall on them. So this happens during the great tribulation.

Matthew 24
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:

18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:

21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

Now look at the 6th seal when the kings of the earth and others are wanting the mountains to fall on them.

Revelation 6
15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;

16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

Revelation 6

12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth,
even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

Matthew 24
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

Summary. The Jews are told they will want the mountains to fall on them during the great tribulation. The kings of the earth will want the mountains to fall on them immediately after the tribulation. These are not the same timeframes, nor the same people. Jerusalem is not Babylon.

29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.


I think you missed this.

Matthew 24
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

You are claiming according to Jesus,the great tribulation is taking place when there are great fearful signs in the heavens .The sun ,the moon and the stars.Those great fearful signs are after the 6th seal is opened.Not the 5th or 7th

Do you not understand that the tribulation is over at the 6th seal? Do you not see the words IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE TRIBULATION? Do you not see the signs of the sun, moon and stars?



The 5th seal is the great tribulation. The tribulation is over at the 6th seal as marked by the signs of the sun, moon and stars.


You need to rethink. This should get you started.

Matthew 24
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
I didn't miss anything.
I comprehend the difference between tribulation and the great tribulation.

You believe because John or someone like John has tribulation then it's great tribulation and distress upon nations with perplexity.
It's not the same thing.


Revelation 1
9 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.



Just because John was in tribulation along with many other Christians being persecuted ,did not make it the great tribulation Jesus spoke of in his Olivet discourse.
Jesus describes the great tribulation as great fearful signs in the heavens.The sun ,moon and stars.

John and his fellow servants who suffered tribulation was not part of the earthquakes and heavens departing as a scroll being rolled together.John was describing a nuclear explosion in revelation 6 and he saw it from underneath it.




Daniel even shows the tribulation .of the saints taking place for 3.5 years beginning in Daniel 11:33.The great tribulation doesn't take place till after the 42 months tribulation has come to an end .The great tribulation is in Daniel 12:1.

But you must be overlooking ALL these things.

If you think Jerusalem is Babylon, you are barking up the wrong tree. Let's put things in context. Here is what Jesus is talking about. When they see the abomination of desolation they are to immediately flee. If you have a baby how much harder is it to flee? That is why it is woe to them that give suck in those days. Then there shall be great tribulation. And looking at the verse you posted they will be wanting the mountains to fall on them. So this happens during the great tribulation.

Matthew 24
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:

18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:

21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

Now look at the 6th seal when the kings of the earth and others are wanting the mountains to fall on them.

Revelation 6
15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;

16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

Revelation 6

12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth,
even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

Matthew 24
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

Summary. The Jews are told they will want the mountains to fall on them during the great tribulation. The kings of the earth will want the mountains to fall on them immediately after the tribulation. These are not the same timeframes, nor the same people. Jerusalem is not Babylon.

When the wrath of God falls upon the Jews,they will hide in their caves in j the mountains and say to the mountains,fall on us .Same wrath in revelation 6 is same wrath in the Olivet discourse and Ezekiel 9.


Wrath of God upon the Jews as Jesus said


"wrath upon this people."​


Luke 21

21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.

22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.​

23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.​


24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

Please. Those that come out of great tribulation are of the 12 tribes across the earth. If you understood Revelation 14 you would know that.

Nope! That's another idea you got from who knows where.

The first part of the Rev.7 chapter ALREADY defined those of the 12 tribes that will be 'sealed' with God's seal. The "great multitude" is about the "nations", meaning Gentiles. The Books of The Old Testament prophets makes this separate type of distinction in several Scriptures between the seed of Israel compared with believing Gentiles. The Book of Isaiah is the strongest witness of that. That is what Rev.7 is doing also. So you just slapping... your Israelite connotation on the Rev.7:9 verse is not from The Bible.

No need to go any further until you correct your error of interpretation.

As I said, you have no understanding of what you are reading. Those 144,000 are sealed. That means they have been born again and believe that Jesus is the Messiah.

Yeah, and I actually agreed, and you would have known that IF... you had actually READ my post. But your above statement reveals that you do not really read the posts of others, but just throw wild unfounded comments at folks.

I even remarked how ALL... the saints mentioned in that Rev.7 chapter represent Christ's servants that are 'sealed' with God's seal so as to not be deceived while going through the "great tribulation". But I guess your BLINDNESS that your faulty belief on man's fake pre-trib rapture theory has clouded your understanding on those matters.
