When the WORD SAYS IN Jesus, IN Christ, Christ reigns for 1,000 years, 144,000 are with a Lamb and YOU DO NOT BELIEVE THAT……Why would you remotely believe YOU would SPIRITUALLY UNDERSTAND WHY those WORDS ARE expressly Stated?
YOU Don’t….and your only recourse IS to badmouth the one who DOES BELIEVE Gods Stated Word.
ANY CLUE what JUDGEMENTS Scripture teaches APPLIES TO a man who “persecutes” a man who trusts and believes Gods Word…..?
I can disagree with you….BUT I DO NOT badmouth you FOR YOUR BELIEFS….
And YOU can disagree with me…..AND YOUR course of action is to BADMOUTH, whom you disagree with….
I would be foolish to doubt anything the Word says! And the Word has taught me that when we are in Christ, we are in Jesus. Have you not read what the Scripture tells us. I'll give you a few examples.
Acts 2:36 (KJV) Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
Acts 10:36 (KJV) The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)
Acts 20:21 (KJV) Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Peter 1:11 (KJV) For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
I don't deny a thousand years written in Scripture. I understand it equates to TIME given the Church to build the spiritual Kingdom of God as She proclaims the Gospel unto all the world. It would be foolish of me to believe a thousand equates to ONE thousand years of time that shall come after Christ comes the second time, because then I would force contradiction into the Word of God. And contradiction of Scripture is the mother of ALL errors!
I also do not deny the 144,000 of all the tribes of the children of Israel, understanding this number symbolically represents the elect remnant of all the Old Covenant saints saved according to grace through faith. It's an incredible picture they paint of how prior to the advent of Christ coming to earth to save His people, there were relatively few having faith from the Old Covenant saved. Compared to the innumerable multitude from every nation of the world, 144,000 symbolizes a remnant indeed. Glorious depiction of the victorious life, death and resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ, Saviour of the world!
I'm not badmouthing any person here! But I am speaking out strongly and with much conviction of those who bring heretical doctrine into the community, those who cannot prove what they assume, nor are they troubled when their doctrine is shown to cause the Word of God to contradict! How about you? Can you prove through the Word of God what you allege? It appears you cannot, or you would have shown verses and passages to prove your assumptions!
