What is the relevance of the 144,000 Jewish Witnesses in Revelation 7?

Briefly, explain the relevance of the 144,000 Jewish witnesses in Revelation 7?

The 144,000 anointed Jewish witnesses in Revelation 7 are representative of the 12-Tribes of Israel who will fulfill what Israel failed to fulfill during Messiah’s First-Advent; that is, Elohim sanctified the children of Israel as messengers and caretakers of His divine words; Elohim sanctified the children of Israel as progenitors of Messiah via Jacob’s son, Judah; Elohim sanctified the children of Israel as progenitors and proselytizers of the New Covenant as proclaimed in Jeremiah 31;31-34 and Ezekiel 36:26-27; Elohim sanctified the children of Israel as servants of the Gospel and the Great Commission which was to be taught and provided to “every family of the Earth” as Israel was to be Elohim’s blessing and fulfillment of what Elohim had promised through Abraham and the coming Messiah in Genesis 12:3b; unfortunately, Israel rejected the New Covenant’s Gospel; Israel rejected their Messiah and murdered Him upon a tree via Pilate and demanded that Messiah’s blood be upon them and the children; Israel rejected the Great Commission; therefore, Elohim turned to the Gentile and gave the Great Commission, the Gospel, the New Covenant, to the Gentile and placed the children of Israel under judgment until the fullness of the Gentiles have entered the Kingdom of Elohim (Romans 11:25).

The 144,000 spoken of in Revelation 7 will be a belated fulfillment of what Israel was foreordained to be and the “remnant” of Israel that is saved through the Tribulation Era will be the “remnant” spoken of by Isaiah (Isaiah 10:22) and reiterated by Paul (Romans 9:27). Elohim will honor His covenants and promises made to Israel’s children; this, NOT for Israel’s glory but for the righteousness and holiness and faithfulness of Elohim as Elohim does not lie but does exactly as He has promised irrespective of Satan’s success among the defiled of humanity (Numbers 23:19). There will be a “remnant” of Israel’s children who come to faith in Messiah Jesus during and in the final days of the Tribulation Era.

Can a Christian prove to God that they love Him if they don’t keep His Commandments?

How can a Christian prove to God that they Love Him If they Don’t Keep His Commandments?? John 14:15.

If Commandment Keeping that actually pleased the Father unto righteousness were possible, Jesus died needlessly (Galatians 2:21).

Commandment keeping which honors the Father is a work of the indwelling Holy Spirit SUBSEQUENT establishing a New Covenant relationship with the Father by faith in Jesus, FIRST (John 6:29; 15:8). It is our spiritual fruit produced through us by the Spirit (Galatians 5:16-23) that honors the Father, not our efforts to keep rules and regulations in self-righteousness which are ultimately interpreted by the Father as “filthy rags” (Isaiah 64:6).

If one seeks to honor the Father through obedience, first obey the Father’s will; that is, “believe in the One He has sent into the World” to provide blood atonement for your sin (John 6:29); then, all of these other things, peace – joy – obedience – assurance, will be added as well (John 6:29; Matthew 6:33). Relationship first – obedience will follow through the work of the indwelling Holy Spirit via daily Christian sanctification (Galatians 5:16). You will know them by their fruit (Matthew 7:15-20), divine “fruit” against which there is no law (Galatians 5:23).

Why was the Universe created?

Why was the Universe created?

The Universe was created for cause as a repository for a Kingdom War initiated by Satan in the Spiritual Realm before Time began…that Coup and its destructiveness was removed, extricated, from the Kingdom and placed within the created Realm of Time partially constrained by physics as our entire creation is predicated upon WAR (war…which has inundated our existence from the Genesis forward) and a formal declaration of war was announced early in the Genesis in Genesis 3:15, a war that would proceed forward between Elohim (Genesis 1:1) who would enter the Realm of Time in flesh via the “seed of the (virgin) woman” and do battle with Satan and Satan’s army…the battle strategy that Elohim would employ is first pictured for us in Genesis 3:21 which is a picture of The Gospel of Jesus Christ (Matthew 26:28) where Elohim, Himself, would shed innocent blood to clothe fallen humanity in a gifted-imputed “robe of righteousness” and thereby destroy the works of Satan, death-Hell-the grave, through an act of selfless love thereby modeling for the faithful angels in the Kingdom the honor and dignity and necessity of obedience to Elohim’s will and the superiority of obedience to disobedience…our entire creation in Time, the previous 6000-years of war and horror initiated by Satan, acts as a bulwark against future rebellion in the Kingdom where free will exists and is paramount by necessity; in fact, the primary reason Jesus our Messiah entered the Realm of Time was “to destroy the works of Satan” (1 John 3:8b) via the Gospel which was ordained “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-10).

You and I are but demonstrative vessels for a much superior life-form in the Spiritual Realm, the Angels, and those of temporary humanity who coalesce with and support Elohim in His battle with evil via faith in Jesus as Messiah will reap the benefits of that loyalty in Eternity…those who reject and war against Elohim will ultimately cease to exist subsequent Judgment via the “second death.” (John 3 v. Revelation 20:11-15)

Time is a created entity for a specific cause and purpose and Time, this physical World, will be dismantled and destroyed by fire (2 Peter 3:10; Revelation 21)…purified and made fit for the eternal Kingdom, the New Jerusalem (Revelation 21-22), where the faithful in Jesus as Messiah will serve Him, forever, in resurrected bodies fashioned after the resurrected body of Messiah (Philippians 3:21).

The Cruise – The Ignorant Passenger – the Atheist – an Analogy…

The Cruise – The Ignorant Passenger – the Atheist – an Analogy…

Dear Atheist,

You don’t know because you’ve never attempted to know Jesus by faith. You’re like the patron who paid for a transatlantic cruise without knowledge of the benefits and went hungry, daily, as he observed the wealthy passengers eating lavish meals and drink till filled…on the last day of the cruise before entering port, the hungry man was standing outside a portal watching the passengers gorge themselves on incredible food and drink when a passerby inquired as to why the downtrodden man just stood there staring into the window???

The old man was hungry and said he wished he could have taken part in the daily feasts as he was absolutely miserable with the meager sustenance that he had brought along for the journey. The inquiring man advised the patron that the food and drink were part of the package deal…the food and drink were paid for with the ticket of passage but now it was the final hour of the cruise, port was in view…the kitchen had closed, the food was no longer available…it was too late.

You are this pathetic patron…life eternal is before you and you’re too arrogant and too obstinate to pursue life in Jesus and find true joy, peace, sustenance, eternally. Atheism is a fools life journey and nihilism is their destiny. Jesus as one’s Messiah is the “Ticket” to a life of purpose and joy, eternally (John 3:16).

Can true Christian faith be the product of indoctrination?

Can true Christian faith be the product of indoctrination?

Though many can be “indoctrinated” into a cult or a religion, it is NOT possible to be indoctrinated into true Christianity as true Christianity is an intimate, abiding, personal, relationship with our Creator by faith. Genuine, Life-Giving, Faith is beyond “indoctrination”…it is not possible to “indoctrinate” Christian faith and Christian faith cannot be taught, coerced, manipulated, but Christian faith is volitional trusting-believing with a sincere heart that what has been provided by the Holy Spirit in the Canon of Scripture is true and that same Christian faith believes that our Creator will do exactly as He has promised.

Christian Faith cannot be achieved, internalized or maintained through coercion or deception…faith in Jesus as Messiah must be internally genuine in order to ingratiate one’s self with our Creator and thereby establish New Covenant relationship with Him and receive the indwelling Holy Spirit as Guarantor of New Covenant promise (Ephesians 1:13-14; Hebrews 11:6).

Though Christian faith comes through hearing the words of our Creator (Romans 10:17), those words must be volitionally internalized and received as true with a sincere heart and subsequently responded to in the affirmative in order that said faith be valid, applicable and regenerative.

On the other hand,

The false “faith” of the atheist, secular humanist, is the product of demonic deception as it’s the product of Satan, false teaching via Marxist education/indoctrination; generally, more often than not…atheism is a product of Darwinian Evolution forced upon the naive in public school settings. Atheism, once ingrained in the heart of the deceived, the arrogant, the proud, the narcissist, is likened to a metastasizing malignancy as it eats away at the soul and decimates the conscience and ultimately leads to antisocial, perverse, behaviors that destroy mind, body, soul, in Hell. It is the false faith of the atheist that comprises the “many” in Jesus’ warning…

The Narrow and Wide Gates

13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. Matthew 7:13-14

Is Christianity “decaying” as Tozer allegedly proclaims?

“Christianity is decaying and going down the gutter because the god of modern Christianity is not the God of the bible”— Tozer

So what?

True and VALID Christianity is not subject to man or Satan. Christianity is a personal, intimate, relationship with our Creator, Jesus the Messiah, through faith and a daily, intimate, walk in sanctification via the indwelling Holy Spirit.

True Christianity will never fade away irrespective of Tozer or any other man and their schemes…those who belong to the Father through faith in the Son and possess the precious Holy Spirit are HIS eternally (John 10:28-30): therefore, don’t worry about what the World says or does as the World is dead and already decaying away!

Let the World seek Hell, hold fast to Jesus for victory and stop worrying about the nonsense of those who have and will reject the Scriptures and the Living Word as the one who belongs to Jesus IS “Christianity” and they ARE the Church!

Did Omniscient Elohim create the Adamic/Noahic generation’s only to destroy them in Judgment by water?

Did omniscient Elohim create the Adamic/Noahic generation’s only to destroy them in Judgment by water?

FREE WILL, volition infused into both the angelic and human creations is the mover of our Creator’s heart. He is absolutely neutral at the point He creates you in your mother’s womb and places the spirit of life in your genome; yes, Elohim does impart gifts and anointing but the recipient must freely choose to employ same …Elohim does not create you evil or good but neutral with a conscience of sufficient magnitude and cognition to intuitively know, differentiate, good from evil, right from wrong, though this inner-voice of consciousness (Romans 2:14-15) does require “time” to mature sufficiently where the conscience is beleaguered by aberrant conduct and pleased-finds joy with good, sustainable, conduct; therefore, Elohim’s compassion and tolerance for sin extends from birth until a time of accountability is fixed in the human conscience…this time varies among individuals in accordance with a myriad of environmental and physiological factors but rest assured, our Creator knows our thoughts intimately (Psalm 139:2).

Subsequent Adam’s compromise with evil, the human genome was corrupted and fell prey to atrophy, degradation as did all of nature, the 2nd-Law of Thermodynamics (Romans 8:22-23; Genesis 3:17). There was an exponential rise in genomic degradation during the Adamic/Noahic generational maturation; that is, the infusion of the demonic, the Nepilim, an unconscionable compromise with Satan and certain demonic forces that were so very vile and defiled that they have been bound in Hell to this very day and they will not be released until subsequent Messiah’s Millennial Kingdom and the final battle between Elohim and Satan (Jude 1:6) prefacing the Judgment of the Condemned (Revelation 20:10-15) and the destruction/purification of the Earth and Heavens by fire (1 Peter 3:10; Revelation 21:1).

Elohim’s ONLY reason for having created matter, Time, physics, the Heaven’s the Earth, our genome, is as an alternate battle ground for the Great Kingdom War initiated by Satan…this war was removed from the Kingdom where NOTHING impure is permitted to exist (Revelation 21:7; Revelation 12). From the earliest pages of The Genesis, we are introduced to Satan and observe his charisma and deception in Eden which ultimately led to the Adamic fall (Romans 5:12; Genesis 3; Ezekiel 28:11+).

Elohim’s eschatological plan from “before the beginning of Time” has always been “The Gospel of Jesus Christ” infused into Time as a battle strategy (2 Timothy 1:8-10; Genesis 3:21) to deal with Satan; in fact, the ONLY reason Messiah Jesus took-on flesh via hypostasis (Philippians 2:6-11) was “to destroy the works of Satan” (1 John 3:8b). This spiritual war was formerly declared in Genesis 3:15, the battle strategy first pictured in Genesis 3:21 (Elohim shedding innocent blood to cover the sins of humanity) and the remaining plethora of Scripture from Genesis 3 to Revelation 22 is the fulfillment of this eschatological plan ultimately reaching an initial divine goal 4000-years later on Mt. Golgotha/Calvary/Moriah outside the Old City of Jerusalem, Israel on a Roman Cross where the sinless blood of Messiah Jesus dripped into the sands of Golgotha and the Father declared victory through the blood atonement which defeated death, Hell, the Grave, for all who believe (John 26:28; John 3:16; 1 Peter 1:18-19; Leviticus 17:11).

Concerning the Adamic and Noahic generations…

Elohim’s initial desire was that the Adamic and Noahic generations be the progenitors of Messiah and through the catalyst of faith, these generations would honor Elohim and His will for all of humanity; that is, to live and thrive through obedience and holiness concerning Elohim’s perfect will but these generations freely chose defilement which is briefly documented by the Holy Spirit in Romans 1:18-32 (Genesis 6:5).

Elohim’s eschatological plan would NOT be deterred by the defilement of Adam’s and Noah’s generation’s but Elohim allowed this human defilement with Satan’s servants and used same as a stark and terrifying example to the faithful angelic creation of the ramifications of disobedience and their former “boss,” Satan, was clearly revealed as the root initiator of this horror (John 8:44), defilement and ultimate Judgment; in fact. Elohim is making a spectacle of Satan’s works and has been for over 6000-years which will act as a bulwark against future rebellion in the Kingdom of Elohim as free will exists there as well; this, by necessity; therefore, both the faithful angelic creation and the redeemed in Jesus in resurrected bodies serving in the New Jerusalem will fully understand by experiential relevance that obedience is eternally superior to rebellion.

Our entire creation is predicated upon WAR…the Adamic and Noahic generations freely chose to war against Elohim through their alliance with Satan, the demonic…there was no way those generations would recover or be redeemed as their conscience was seared, the defilement ran so deep that grace and mercy would NEVER be realized through faith yet Elohim’s struggle with Satan remained; therefore, Noah found favor with Elohim via faith (Genesis 6:8); therefore, Elohim chose to begin anew via Noah and his family via Shem, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Judah, Jesus, the Covenant of Law and the New Covenant of Grace established in the blood of Jesus our Messiah (Matthew 26:28).

I understand that internalizing these truths is difficult for one who is consumed with hatred for our Creator, the Bible, one who has been deceived by “religion,” but know that Elohim’s primary DIVINE concern is His intimate relationship with His cherished, faithful, angelic creation and you and I are part of an eschatological plan that involves demonstrating to that faithful angelic creation why Satan was extricated from his position of authority in the Kingdom and why obedience is superior to disobedience as what is being demonstrated is that life and peace flow from obedience to Elohim’s will but unfathomable horror and suffering are the resultant of rejecting Elohim’s will, love and compassion.

Many have asked the question, “Why didn’t Elohim simply destroy Satan?” First of all, Satan is angelic…he will never die…death is foreign to the angelic creation (Luke 20:36) and if Elohim via His omnipotence decided to violate that eternal truth and destroy Satan and the one-third of the angelic creation that followed him in the rebellion, the question is posited, “Would the faithful angelic creation truly love Elohim for Who He is, a loving and compassionate Creator or would they obey strictly out of fear thereby nullifying intimacy and cherished interpersonal relationship?” “Can authentic love exist void free will and can intimacy exist in an atmosphere of fear?”

It is a divine Truth that had Satan not rebelled, humanity would have NEVER been created and it is a divine Truth that Elohim loves His angelic creation beyond human comprehension…maintaining divine intimacy with them is the root of our Genesis.

Why the Noahic Flood?

Why the Noahic Flood?

If you understood causation for the creation narrative and Elohim’s eschatological objectives through humanity concerning the Messiah and the defeat of Satan (Genesis 3:15; 1 John 3:8b), you would understand that the Adamic-Noahic generations had defiled themselves to such a degree; this, with the demonic, that they forfeited their fore-ordination as progenitors of the Messiah and the genome had become irreparably corrupted via the demonic; therefore, Elohim’s only viable option was to eradicate both generations save eight and begin anew with Noah and Noah’s family (Genesis 6:5).

This is why Elohim set apart, sanctified, Noah, Shem, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Israel) and ultimately Judah and why Elohim codified His spiritual law in stone at Sinai and presented same to Moses to disseminate among the Tribes as Elohim sanctified Israel’s children as His own and commanded that they be holy as He is Holy (Leviticus 21:8). Israel’s children were ordained to be the progenitors of the Messiah; the recipients of the New Covenant; the proselytizers of the Great Commission; a blessing to every family of the Earth (Genesis 12:3b); therefore, the sanctification or setting apart of Israel from the paganism that surrounded them was critically essential without compromise.

Elohim’s eschatological will concerning the restoration of holiness and righteousness to His Kingdom, a righteousness and holiness corrupted by a rebellious cherub angel before the creation of Time, will not be deterred by mankind’s free will choices via an Adamic sin-nature; therefore, Elohim has provided human kind with instructions, notifications, promises, concerning His eschatological plan for Time and  Eternity and Elohim has explained our temporary role in that divine  plan; this, via the Canon of Scripture and from the mouth of Elohim in flesh, Jesus our Messiah (John 1; Hebrews 1; Colossians 1; John 10:30;  John 14:9); therefore, human kind can freely choose to honor Elohim by faith in Jesus, trust Him and obey Him and LIVE – or – humanity can choose their own path through this temporary life constrained by Time and physics and die apart from Elohim’s will; that is, die the “second  death” in Hell as their unrepentant sin and absence of faith will NOT be permitted to enter the Kingdom, therefore, total destruction of the corrupted soul, mind, body, spirit, is tragically necessary as “nothing  impure” will ever enter the Kingdom of Elohim (Revelation 21:27).

Is Atheism-Secular Humanism-Evolution truly LOGICAL or REASONABLE? Why not the Bible?

Is Atheism-Secular Humanism-Evolution truly LOGICAL or REASONABLE? Why not the Bible?

When one reads the Scriptures with a heart willing to receive and believe, we are introduced to a World that is far superior to our temporary World constrained by Time, physics, the 2nd Law of THD. We are told that an unfathomable rebellion manifest in a Realm referenced as the Spiritual…a Realm that is not visible to the human eye but a Realm that is infinitely superior to our own, a Realm that permeates us, surrounds us, a Realm that our senses detect and long to interact with in a most mysterious way.

Within the Canon of Scripture, we are introduced to a Deity, Elohim (Genesis 1:1), Who is described as infinite, having no genesis or finality, Who created Time and matter as a repository for a war that manifest in the Spiritual Realm having placed the destructiveness of that war within the created Realm of Time and physics and that Deity is presently dealing with the participants and initiator of that war here, apart from the Realm of the Spiritual where nothing impure is permitted to exist (Rev 21:27).

That Deity provides you and me with His “declaration of war” in Genesis 3:15 and provides us a picture of His battle strategy in Genesis 3:21 and going forward (Genesis to Revelation), that Deity articulates everything He has done and will do to defeat His enemies through His own selfless love, a selfless love that targets and glorifies Messiah’s sacrifice at Golgotha 2000-years ago outside the Old City of Jerusalem.

That same Deity provides us with an eschatological window, 90% of which has already come to fruition EXACTLY as He said it would. Why is it so difficult for the atheist to step back and at least attempt to internalize the 66-love letters that our Creator has left us in the Biblical record and the words He has provided us in the hypostatic union of flesh and deity via Jesus our Messiah?

Seeing that our Creator has formed the Heavens and the Earth from elements found only in the unseen Spiritual Realm (Hebrews 11:3), why is it so difficult, in the mind of the atheist, for that same omnipotent Creator to have taken that same matter, the constituent elements of same, and form the first man and from that man, the first woman…and oddly enough, many of the elements found in human flesh are also found in the “dust of the Earth?”

Why mock the Biblical narrative…why not seriously consider it and its ramifications as having NEVER been proven in error? Why not humble yourself, read the “Gospel of John” and ask our Creator to reveal Himself to you and enlighten your mind to the Truth of His divine purposes within the Realm of Time…why mock and blaspheme what you DO NOT KNOW? How is your blind disregard for what has been provided you in the Holy Scriptures to be considered as any form of wisdom or logic or reason; especially so, when no other viable explanation of “How was life created?” exist?

Atheism-Secular Humanism – Satan’s servants who proselytize nihilism-hopelessness, why?

The Atheist – Secular Humanist: Satan’s servants who proselytize nihilism-hopelessness, why?

The Atheist – Secular Humanist espouse – radically promulgate – seek to proselytize the masses in their demonically rooted religion of Secular Humanism/Moral Relativism while targeting and promulgating hate for Christianity which provides human kind the only Path to a life a peace, contentment, hope, sustainability, through faith in our Creator, Jesus Christ, and a daily walk in divine sanctification via the indwelling Holy Spirit.

Even though the Atheist staunchly rejects our Creator, Jesus Christ, and the divine authority of the Canon of Scripture, what is their motive for preaching their religion of hopelessness and nihilism? What is the demonic motive behind proselytizing via Darwinian Evolution that teaches life is a primordial mistake by happen-chance and there is no true purpose or eternal relevance to life; therefore, party, pervert your soul with aberrant pleasures and die in self-loathing misery…nothing truly matters? Why have anti-depressants, their use and abuse among the American population risen exponentially over the previous five-decades? Why is there an ever present aura of hopelessness and impending catastrophe among the citizenry of the World?

The only reason the Atheist exists; the only reason Secular Humanism-Darwinism exist is due the work of Satan in Time who seeks to discourage, to destroy, to deceive, to addict, to incarcerate, to disparage, to murder. Even if the Atheist truly believes that the Bible is of no relevant Truth and Jesus was just a historical figure among many, why not allow boys, girls, men and women, families, communities, to pursue what they “believe” by “faith” to be hope and happiness and joy and peace and contentment in Jesus and the Holy Spirit as per the promises of the Bible?

Why does the Atheist find it necessary to insult, disparage, to ridicule, to blaspheme, the words of Scripture, the Living Word – Jesus Christ, the precious Holy Spirit; this, even if they truly don’t believe…why blaspheme that in which so many find comfort and peace and a reason for living and pursuing excellence?

The only logical answer is, the Atheist is demonic at his/her root and their life is demonically controlled and their future is Hell in unbelief; this is why our Founder’s did NOT trust religion, the Atheist, the Agnostic…our Constitutional Republic cannot be sustained when the majority exists in moral relativism and secularism as these demonic ideologies destroy the soul, sear the conscience, darken the thoughts and motives of the citizenry and inspire aberrant behavior, lawlessness rooted in narcissism, hedonism. Atheism is truly the bane of human existence and those who adhere to its demonic philosophy should be shunned and feared and ostracized. If the atheist desires to die in Hell in abject spiritual ignorance, why not go to Hell alone as opposed to wrecking the lives of others with your wicked ideology and taking them to Hell with you?
