God. Then Later in Revelation chapter 14 - 144,000 was saved that where chosen virgin men whom were not lairs.
Revelation 7
King James Bible | |
1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the
earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. 2 And
I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four
angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, 3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the
sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. 4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty
and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve
thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand. 6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve
thousand. Of the tribe of Nephthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand. 7 Of
the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar
were sealed twelve thousand. 8 Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of
Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
It
is my hope that if I speak of what I believe of the 144,000 it may shed some light on maybe what this could mean here on earth
today. I make no claims I am right as I sit back as everyone and watch how God's divine plan unfolds.
In ancient
days there were beliefs and still today that the 12 tribes could also break down to the zodiac. In fact the Vatican has a
large globe of the zodiac figures in a monument in the court yard yet today. The things all cultures had in common was the
sun dials and all had some belief in the star configurations in the sky (zodiac). If you have knowledge of the zodiac you
realize that the zodiac also has 12 stations or signs on for each month. Please keep this in mind for later reference.
Now back to the bible. We understand that in Revelations it is all about tribulation and a sort of cleansing
of mankind and the earth. This is done in preparation of God because we are unclean to be in his presence. This is spoke about
in the bible please do a good google search to find these references.
Through out the years many theories have
been made to make a good educated guess just who they are and why they are chosen. Some believe they are maybe more holy or
more believing then the rest. Thi could be possiable so let us continue on.
Some believe that it is one faith
or another and some really cling to this in their religion. But how could that be so? If God loves and does all his children
then he always left that open to us all correct? So in fact we know that their is no one religion or combination that could
tightly fit into this neat tidy amount of numbers. There is no one culture or mixture of cultures that would fit either correct?
When then we must go back to assume again something makes them different, but what is that?
Once I had a priest explains me he was saved
because he was a faithful Catholic and that all Catholics are saved. I have heard comments about the Jews or other cultures
and religions claim it must be them. I simply said to the priest but how can that be true. God save me when I die as a young
child but in your eyes I was then only a lowly Methodist. Why then would God save me if I was Methodist, would I not have
to have been one of those other religions or Catholic as you state? I made him think and myself also. Of course God would
not chose by this would he, because he loves all the children big and small, young and old. Yet still in the bible he continues
even after this time in Revelations for more to be saved does he not so he still has not said that each person does not have
the chance only that some have not chosen with their free will as God states must happen.
If we look at the cleansing and how that
is spoke about in the bible a bit we may gain a closer perspective. So when we think of what are the ways of cleansing in
the bible. There is fire, but I am not sure many people would burn themselves so we know that also could not fit in to the
144,000 number. Unless they are very brave people but very doubtful.
So then we look at the second form of cleansing
spoken in the bible which is baptism. We know that almost every christen or religious person has been baptized so that
number could not fit. We also realize that just because you are baptized so this also does not necessarily mean that they
truly believe in God.
Then we look at what is know as the ultimate cleanser in the bible has known as death and rebirth. Hey,
now that may fit. After all is it not a time of cleansing. So we may be able to assume that those who have somehow died and
come back through a surgery, at birth, during a accident such as car accident, drowning, and so on may be cleansed more then
the rest and after all is this not spoke of as the ultimate cleanser so we are clean enough to see God? Could we be maybe
looking at 144,000 people who died and was cleansed, maybe saw God during death and brought back born in the month of December,
January, February, March, April, and so on. Could we just be waiting for a few more good souls to be cleansed?
When we
think about this we can certainly see that it could fit in many ways. This takes nothing from what the bible says nor adds
to it. Again so it fits in this manner. When you die from something like spoken above and if you see God is does something
to you. Your life is never quite the same. If that is you, or you had a similar experience and are reading this you know exactly
what I mean. No one can tell you God does not exist because you see God with your own eyes. You experience what I have in
one way or another. But does that not in some way brings upon an unwavering faith that is also spoken about in the bible.
Because it could only be the deepest conviction that could exist from a place where no doubt could exist. From that you have
to understand that this comes from only something you see, hear, or experience first hand.... In that light it also fits.
I make no claims as that is not for me to do, rather I want to provoke thought into some of the wonderful things
I have been taught to understand and hope it helps make some sense of this to you.
Make a free will choice, you have to chose.
In this day and age the sideline is not a place you want to be.
