Revelation 14:4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
This is not speaking carnally. A married man is not defiled because he lays with his wife. Women = religion. The harlot of Babylon is a woman, and she has daughters, also women. From her many religions are born. They are spiritual virgins because they go with no other god. They are "redeemed" ...forgiven, washed clean.
They follow the Lamb wheresoever he goes. They follow "The Word of God". They are always in the Word, and the Word is always in them. The remnants of Israel do not follow "The Word of God" because they do not follow Christ, and if they did, they would not be called remnants but "saints".
OK, I have received the same understanding some time ago. I received it differently, but your interpretation is about the same.
And thank you very much for writing all this.
We may not be perfectly correct in everything, but without sharing with one another we will not even come near anyway.
Then, it is beneficial that we at least try. Your courage is appreciated!
God bless you abundantly, in Jesus' name!Thank you 2f I will be very unpopular after writing this, but it has to be said and anyone can check out the scriptures for themselves and delve further if they are hungry. Always ask questions. There is more to come, and I will post tomorrow.

Sister, I know you have been attacked and smeared over disagreements at other places, but that doesn't mean that will happen here. I look forward to reading your next post.

I can not say that I necessarily agree with every point you made Sister, but neither am I saying you are wrong. In the case of Abraham, his wife was his half sister, not of Canaan. Still, the truth remains that gentiles could and did become Jews by faith, like Ruth. The 144,000 have been perplexing to me regarding the comment about not being defiled with women, but in the Old Testament, God would tell the men not to lay with their wives before coming into the presence of the Lord, so I am not sure about your spiritualizing that. The tribes must exist in the mind of God, as there are 12,000 of each tribe that make up the 144,000. When we become Jews by faith, I believe we are adopted into one of the twelve tribes. I like the way you are willing to think outside the box of tradition to try to get at the truth. Butero,
Ezekiel 16:3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto Jerusalem; Thy birth and thy nativity is of the land of Canaan; thy father was an Amorite, and thy mother an Hittite.
After reading this again last night, I had to search out who Sarai (Sarah) was born of. All I found in the Canon was this;
Genesis 20:2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
Genesis 20:12 And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
There is absolutely nothing in the Canon to substantiate who Sarah is the daughter of...but earlier in the week I wanted to know why Rebekah's (wife of Isaac) brother was called Laban the Syrian. So I traced it back and see if you can follow;
Terah had 3 sons;
Haran, Nahor and Abraham
Haran, Abraham's brother begat Lot, and his sister Milcah.
Milcah married Nahor and they had 8 children. The youngest was Bethuel the Syrian.
Bethuel had Laban the Syrian, and Rebekah the Syrian (Isaac's wife)
Rebekah and Isaac begat Esau, and Jacob.
It all checks out, they are all in the family.
Then trying to trace back Sarai's lineage, from what the scriptures say, she should be Terah's daughter but by a different mother?
Nothing......
Then I remembered the book of Jasher......
Haran died, which is why his son Lot traveled with Abraham.
AND THERE IT WAS WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR!
Jasher
9:1 And Haran, the son of Terah, Abram's oldest brother, took a wife in those days. 9:2 Haran was thirty-nine years old when he took her; and the wife of Haran conceived and bare a son, and he called his name Lot. 9:3 And she conceived again and bare a daughter, and she called her name Milca; and she again conceived and bare a daughter, and she called her name Sarai. 9.4: Haran was forty-two years old when he begat Sarai, which was in the tenth year of the life of Abram; and in those days Abram and his mother and nurse went out from the cave, as the king and his subjects had forgotten the affair of Abram.
Now I know that Sarai came from Haran, but Abraham called her his sister from his father, but from another mother? Confusing....
They were all kin, and didn't use the words cousin, aunt, niece, uncle like we do today. Sarai was Abraham's niece, related to him through his Father, by his BROTHER. However I have not been able to trace yet, who Haran married. He must of married outside the family, which is why she is from another mother. We know Sarah is a hittite, and there you go. Haran married a Hittite which is a canaanite.
Do you see now how the Canon doesn't give the full story? You have to follow and search wheresoever the Word goes and you will find! Puzzle nearly solved.
2 Chronicles 8:7 As for all the people that were left of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which were not of Israel,

The 144,000 have been perplexing to me regarding the comment about not being defiled with women, but in the Old Testament, God would tell the men not to lay with their wives before coming into the presence of the Lord, so I am not sure about your spiritualizing that. The tribes must exist in the mind of God, as there are 12,000 of each tribe that make up the 144,000. When we become Jews by faith, I believe we are adopted into one of the twelve tribes. I like the way you are willing to think outside the box of tradition to try to get at the truth. The 144,000 have been perplexing me for almost 30 years., believe me I thought also they were Jews, then about 10 years ago, I was driving, and these two scriptures kept repeating in my head;Romans 2:29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God. andRomans 9:6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: and then it clicked that the 144K were not Jews by blood, and then it clicked that God was talking in Code and then it clicked that there is no difference between Jew and Gentile (concerning Christ) and then it clicked that the remnants of Israel are coming into the kingdom in the "flesh" and then it clicked that the first will be last and last first, and Israel will be provoked to jealousy (a zealous type of jealousy) Butero, it just cllicked, when I put all these scriptures together. Boy did I rejoice! Right under our noses. God has hidden it from the majority and given it to the few, and this is what I am trying to share.
The pre-tribbers know that just like in the days of the flood, there is an ark prepared, and God is calling us into the ark for protection. Once the doors close it is too late. They have that hope. The scriptures say that before we can enter the kingdom of God we have to go through tribulation and persecution.
The pre-tribbers have got it wrong, but partly right, there is an ark for an elect few, but unfortunately not every one can come aboard.
The 144K, will be kept alive throughout the whole tribulation, ....you see that ark is Christ, and he preserves them. They are not raptured off anywhere, but it will be the same as in the days of the passover, ...when God punished the pharoah and killed all the first born, ....the Hebrews with the blood of the lamb on their door posts, signified they were not to be touched by the angels and they were spared. It will be the same! This is what the sealing of the 144K is, the Lambs blood is on the door to their heart which Christ entered through, and they will be spared from death. One thing for sure is that they will be standing alive when Christ comes, and will survive it all having had a little help.
But none of us know who is in that number. Christ chooses, and if we follow his commandments, we can be in the running and make our election sure. But until then, no man can boast because what if God tells him to take the lower seat?
More tomorrow. Can't wait for this scripture you've probably read a thousand times, to finally come alive in your hearts.

Sister, I applaud you for all the time and research you did to discover just who Sarai was. It is true that the Bible itself doesn't give us all the details on some things, and there are times you can get the answers from other sources. They are not inerrant, but that doesn't mean they are not correct. I had the same thing happen with the Book of the Giants. I had always thought there had to be a pre-Adamite race of people because it was the only plausible answer for the dinosaurs, until I read the Book of the Giants, and now I no longer believe the gap theory to be correct.
As for whether or not there is a rapture, we will likely know soon one way or the other. By the signs of the times, I expect the tribulation period is just around the corner. I fully expect us to see it begin within the next 10 plus years, and those who know anything about the book of Revelation will know when that 7 year period is taking place. They will know what to look for. If they are raptured out first, it won't matter to them.
The one thing I would say about Abraham and Sarai is that at the time they were married, God hadn't yet appeared to Abraham, as far as we know. Neither of them were born Jewish. God personally chose Abraham and his children through their son Isaac to become the Jewish people, and it wasn't until Jacob that the name Israel even came to be. None of this changes the fact that all Christians are spiritual Israel, and the natural Jews that reject Christ are cut off. There is only one body.

Revelation 11:1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
Revelation 11:2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
Revelation 11:3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
Just before the two witnesses appear. Take note.
How can you measure the temple of God when there is no physical temple to measure?
The altar is where the sacrifices are made, and the offerings given to God.
So these verses are symbolic. Symbolic of those standing "in the temple" and "worshiping at the altar" compared to those who are standing outside the temple in the court.
So we have to go back to what we were taught when this particular foundation was being set up;
1 Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
1 Corinthians 3:17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
Acts 17:24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
So the temple that is being measured consists of believers which are those who serve at the altar, offering sacrifices.
In the past, animal sacrifices were made at the altar, but when Jesus came, he was clear that he required a different kind of sacrifice;
1 Peter 2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
So those who are standing at the altar are those found who offer sacrifices of the heart.
Romans 6:17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
2 Corinthians 1:22 Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
Ephesians 6:6 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
Perfect worship from the heart is what counts, and those standing at the altar are the ones who are being measured. The vision is symbolic, but something is actually taking place whilst this measuring is happening, the SEALING OF the 144K.
The rest standing in the court - which are the spiritual boundaries of the kingdom, are not symbolically offering sacrifices of the heart, or else they would be at the altar. If we have not offered God our best, from the heart, and not forsaken all for him, then our sacrifices which were not made, and the rest not perfect, can not be accepted?, which is why we will then be placed in the court, down there, on the lower level.
Therefore, because there are so many in the court, they are not measured, and just as Jerusalem will be trodden on by the gentiles for 3.5 yrs, so also will they be trampled on when the gentiles come. This is the great tribulation, and we are speaking of end times because it is just before the two witnesses come onto the scene.
So where will be found standing? That's up to us to work out our salvation with trembling and fear. Those in the court will be to be purified with fire to be made clean, or else they will miss out on the resurrection.
The 144K have already suffered tribulation, and have washed their robes white in the blood of Lamb during their walk, therefore it is not necessary to make them white during the tribulation, because their sacrifices are already accepted during this watch. We have no idea what hurdles they have overcome during their walk, and what they went through, yet the other saints, have had an easy ride, so now they must offer sacrifices to be made white by going through the fire (persecutions), for the Lords sake. Many will fall, but some will overcome.
Mark 4:17 And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.
Revelation 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
Ephesians 3:13 Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
1 Thessalonians 3:4 For verily, when we were with you, we told you before that we should suffer tribulation; even as it came to pass, and ye know.
Mark 9:49 For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.
Everyone will be salted with fire. Some during their walk, and others afterwards. All is for the perfection of the saints.
And this is what the Lord has shown me, that those standing at the altar in the temple are the 144K who will be sealed before the tribulation comes, and what follows next is the gentiles treading on Jerusalem, and also on all the saints standing in the court during the days of the 2 witnessess which shall come and do exactly what Moses and Aaron did, pleading with the king (FP) to let God's people go, who are being held in captivity (Jails) and who are being slaughtered, sending all the plagues on his kingdom for our sakes.
I hope you can receive this, for they will never tell you this in the churches, and only the spirit can reveal to show us that the picture has to be clear and harmonise with all the scriptures, so that everyone can have that hope, and get our hearts right before it's too late, to run the good race for the glory for the Lord, and not of shame and nakedness for ourselves.

Question. The Bible here is saying that it will be trampled on by the gentiles, so it must be speaking of the people from the gentile nations. In the body of Christ, there is neither Jew nor Greek. We are all one body, so doesn't this actually strengthen the argument that the 144,000 are natural Jews, since a distinction is being made? The anti-Christ is going to defile the temple in the middle of the tribulation period. How can that happen if it is not a real, physical building? I know there is no temple now, but plans are being made to re-build it.

Question. The Bible here is saying that it will be trampled on by the gentiles, so it must be speaking of the people from the gentile nations. Y es, the beast of Rev 13 with the 10 kings are of the gentiles. The Anti-Christ which God calls "the False Prophet" in Revelation is however a Jew. A Jew from the North. When the Jews rejected their true king, this is what they are left with. And after all the preaching for over 2000 years, and all the proof God left as evidence they have covered up, from their people and the world, they will be left to serve a wicked dictator who does not care for them, but hates them with all his heart.
Nahum 1:11 There is one come out of thee, that imagineth evil against the LORD, a wicked counsellor.
The distinction is not made within the body of Christ between Jew or Gentile, because all have the same one heart, one spirit, one Lord, but the distinction is made outside amongst the nations. There is still the nation of Israel, and the nations of the Gentiles. There is still the Jew who doesn't believe in Christ, and the Gentile who doesn't believe also. All are outside the kingdom of God.
We first have to determine if these 144K, are of the resurrection of the saints, or the remnants of Israel? From Rev 14, I see them as the special elect of the Christians, and not necessarily Jews, but chosen out of all believers in Christ of the last generation to end this era with the same doctrine that started by Christ and the apostles. This shows that through all these 2000 odd years, despite Satan going after the doctrine of Christ and corrupting it, ....God preserved his Word, and kept his doctrine pure for those to receive even at the end of the era.
Look if a Jew circumsizes his heart by accepting Christ and walking in all his commandments with a pure repentant heart, he can also be in that 144K number. It depends on the heart, not the race. If he wishes to go that step, the door is not closed to him but always open. Some Jews have turned to Christ with a pure heart, but many of the others who also turned to Christ are still proud thinking they are superior over the gentiles, something a little more special. They also show favourtism to only the Jews but are still blinded. You can tell them by their fruits. They are the condescending ones and have not truly circumsized their hearts. There are also Gentile Christians like this.
That temple the anti-Christ is going to build is not God's temple. It's Satan's. It's corrupted from the roots. It will be built however. They will be doing more than animal sacrifices there, but human also. The Anti-Christ (FP) will be accepting those sacrifices. All will be made to him.
So this is not the temple that God is speaking of when he measures those at the altar. God is measuring his own temple, and his temple is spiritual consisting of believers. He is measuring those who worship him in spirit and in truth. He knows the number, and he already told us. When this number is fulfilled, he will measure them by "sealing" them, so that the seven angels know not to harm them when God sends them with the plagues. They are also protected from Satan and his hosts. He cannot harm them or kill them, the rest of the Christians however will be put into the hands of the gentiles (the beast), and they will be trampled over for 3 1/2 yrs. They cannot worship freely, but will live in hiding and in fear, and many will be taken to camps (prisons) to be treated as slaves, and killed and whatever else they like to do with them. Not all will be killed, but many.
Daniel 7:21 I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
Daniel 7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
Revelation 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

Do you think it is possible the anti-Christ might not be Jewish after all? I have always thought he must be to be accepted by the Jewish people, but now I am not so sure. Could it be that the anti-Christ that brokers a peace agreement could be the Pope? While it makes sense that the Jews would accept a peace deal from a Jew, I am not so sure about the Arabs. I could see the Pope brokering a temporary peace agreement.

Ezekiel 21:25 And thou, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come, when iniquity shall have an end, I cannot see any pope as being the FP, although I believe the Vatican has a lot to do with grooming of him, behind closed doors, and will serve him. I can't see the Jews accepting a Roman Pope. This man has to be a fresh face, not affiliated with any religion to really pull it off. The delusion will be great.

I would say it is likely speaking of the firstfruits of the remnants of Israel, because we know the people being described are natural Jews. I am not saying that with absolute certainty, but it would appear that is the case. Nobody in this group are from gentile nations, and the tribulation period is for the purpose of seeing the Jews, who for the most part, have been spiritually blind, come to Christ. I have been going through a lot of Israel's geneology for quite a while, and surprisingly I have found that Abraham's wife Sarah was a Hittite (Canaanite). Judah married a Canaanite woman also. Joseph was given an Egyptian woman to marry as far as I can tell, (not 100% certain yet) and we also know that Ephraim became Samaria, so mixed again. The original tribes were of mixed blood to begin with, and over the years they have mingled even more. But we know that a Jew back then was called a Jew if he followed in the commandments and ordinances give by Moses, and any stranger that followed in their tradition who wished to serve the Lord God with all his heart was also counted as a Jew. I found all that interesting. So considering there are no tribes today, how many gentiles are descendants of the tribes without even knowing it? Not trying to mish mash it all up, because Israel is Israel today, we know the difference, and they do not accept Christ but are still waiting on the promises given to their fathers. I just realised something; Judah's two sons died, and he promised his third son to their widow Tamar, a Hebrew woman. Judah's three sons were half Canaanite from their mother. Judah later reconsidered and was afraid that if he married his third son to this woman, he might die also, so he never kept his promise to Tamar. Tamar waited for a long time, and when she realised that Judah did not keep his word, she plotted to seduce him disguising herself as a harlot. Her plan worked, and she had twin boys to Judah. This means that the bloodline of the half Canaanite sons was not passed down because Judah fathered those boys himself. God's way I suppose. Everything for a purpose.

All my brothers and sisters in Christ,
I cannot express enough how much we need to go to the scriptures for the truth. The coming tribulation is going to be so awful, and God is not happy with how the church is standing today. All the hard work was done and set up so that we could just pick up the scriptures and seek the truth for ourselves, but many wolves have come in to trample the truth and were sent by the god of this world especially for this job. We need to go back to our bibles and do a bit of detective work..find all the little bits of pieces and put them together to find out what the true picture is. We cannot force that picture to fit where we want, but there is a true and clear picture given and it's written in the Word for us to find. If you want the gold, you have to dig deep.
The reason why I am so passionate about this 144K, is because something was revealed to me and two other people that I know. Not anyone else that I have come across has ever discussed this, or cared enough to look deeper, but I am sure that there are some out there that know the same things. Guys these are people who feed on the word direct, and don't go through any church to teach them. In knowing what we know, we have a bond, a shared doctrine, not diverse. A common understanding of the things not normally talked about or known. The same spirit. The same message received. All without outside influence. All this is acquired from reading the verses ourselves and asking lots of questions, then looking for answer in the scriptures. Anyone can do the same.
Seeking the truth is a labour of love, and if we are not doing it then we will fall asleep, and the enemy will come in. So please, don't ever think anyone who doesn't run around saying Praise the Lord every five minutes does not love the Lord, because they love the Lord with all their hearts and are not looking for praise from men that they appear holy. Anyone can appear holy, look at all the t.v. evangelists?
I will share this with you and you can take it or leave it, but I will declare it for the love of the truth, and you are not going to like what you hear.
God has been telling his people to come out of the land of Babylon (city of confusion), and warning us of her wickedness for such a long time. In Revelation, God sends his angel in charge over the churches (under Christ of course), to give a final warning.
Revelation 18:2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
Even throughout all the Old Testament she is written about concerning the end times when her sins have reached heaven, and her judgement comes.
Revelation 17:5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
She is such a mystery to the world, that nobody even knows who she really is or who her land is. She even remains a mystery to the Christians. She is not New York, or Rome, or Jerusalem, or any city you can find on the map, but she is Satan's City, this whole world that he has taken over. His city consists of all the nations worshiping him through his woman who is tempting us day in and day out to enjoy this world with all that she can supply. In his city is the system of the world, and his woman, the complete opposite to Zion, is luring all to stay in this city through all the delicacies and things she provides, and if we only lust after them, we can have them and keep them.
Remember Lot's wife who turned into a pillar of salt?, she looked back because her heart was in that city. This was an example for us today not to look back. Jesus told us to be separate from the world. Whoever loves the world does not love him for one cannot serve two masters. If we are still joined with the world, not just through her material things, but also through her entertainment, her music, her movies, her politics, her worldly celebrations, her sports, her false news, her false history, her fashion, her endless organisations, and her false churches set up to keep the flock in captivity, ....and if we have even one foot in Babylon, we will receive her plagues.
We can not jump out of the world, but we are not to be joined to it, but separate. We do not do what they do, because Christ warned us;
Mark 4:19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
This is not just speaking of the rich, but to all of us.
If we do not come out of Babylon, we will have spots on our garments. We should be spiritually out of Babylon already, fully prepared with our garments washed clean and already separate from the world walking fully in Christ.
Christ will send his angel to see who still remains in Babylon, and those who have already come out, and separated themselves from the world, and drawn close to Christ (The Word of God), will be SEALED before the tribulation begins. Only 144K, will be sealed, and these are the Elect of Christ (not remnants of Israel). These have the true testimony of Christ. They are not born saints, but become saints doing all that Christ requested of us, and therefore are shown all things to come to make their election sure when called.
If you are still thinking that these 144K are the Jewish remnants, then count yourself out of the race. This is not for you. Everything written in the scriptures that I have mentioned in my previous posts, all point to the opposite of who these 144K are perceived to be. God wrote it in such a way to confuse the minds of those who don't seek and ask questions, who don't check things out and say, wait a minute, something doesn't gel here with the other scriptures?, and the scriptures cannot contradict? ......we are allowed to ask questions you know and investigate further!
This race is open to all to get right with God now, and give him our best performance according to all that is required to travel this path to the end. He wants our whole heart and soul. This is hope for all of us, that God will preserve an elite group of those who follow the Lamb in righteousness and truth to be his firstfruits of the resurrection. This is not just about repenting, and accepting what Christ did, but going the whole distance with him, and seeking out everything that the Word of God spoke, and living it and breathing it, and knowing it, being witnesses of what is to come before it even happens, ....is the true testimony of Christ (the Word of God)
Think of it like this, your Father passes away, and leaves you a letter. In the letter he tells you all his most inner thoughts and reveals his heart towards you, and explains about those who done wrong to him and to keep away from them. Also in that letter he tells us that he has left some treasures hidden around the house, that he wants you to find, and that the clues are in this written letter. The letter is long, but if you love him, you will read every word and soak in every single thing that he tried to show you, because you know he wants you to find them. If you love him, you will read the whole letter, and not put it on the shelf for later.
So if we want to be counted worthy of being an obedient servant, with our master pleased when he comes unannounced, we'd better get our acts together and get serious about the Word of God. If we don't have the time for him, then he will not have the time for us. If we give only a little, we gain only a little. With the same measure we give, the same measure will be meted back to us. Draw close to him, and the Lord will draw close to us. Live and breathe, and walk in his light, with not just a little knowledge, but a whole lot of knowledge knowing his plan from beginning to end, so that there's substance behind the faith, and so that we can answer anyone who questions our faith. If we ask for bread, he will not give us a stone, but if we want the bread, we have to seek it for ourselves, because only we are responsible for what we let into our temples, and what we keep out.
I am sorry to say this, but it is of a truth, that for all of us who come out of Babylon too late....if we are still found in her, at the time of the watch, with dirty garments, even by refusing the mark of the beast, we will still go through all the plagues of the 7 angels if our lives are prolonged long enough, and all who teach error, and all those who fell asleep, will be left behind when the bridegroom comes, but through the tribulation they will be washed white and saved and this is the chastening of the Lord.
Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Hebrews 12:3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
Hebrews 12:4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
Hebrews 12:5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:
Hebrews 12:6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
Hebrews 12:7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
Hebrews 12:8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
Hebrews 12:9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
Hebrews 12:10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
Hebrews 12:11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
Hebrews 12:12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;
Hebrews 12:13 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.
Which is why it is so important when preaching the Mark of the Beast to warn all to come out of Babylon now if we have not already, and if we do not truly know what Babylon spiritually is, then we can't help anyone, for this is the MOST IMPORTANT THING TO KNOW, and to warn, that God does not take whoredom lightly, amongst his servants, and wants all his people...all those who believe in him through Christ who should have the light by now, to come out of her fully, and not half heartedly. He will test us, that you can be sure, because the kingdom of God will be sifted before the tribulation even begins, and no one will know but the angels will be sealing the most loyal servants of the Lamb of God, and there are only 144K, who are chosen, and we don't know who they are, but the Lord knows, and we be prepared to fight no matter what happens.

2/....
Now I need to back up what I say so it doesn't come across as just ramblings.
Here is a clue that only the 144K are not touched by the plagues;
Revelation 9:1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
Revelation 9:2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
Revelation 9:3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
Revelation 9:4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
Revelation 9:5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
Revelation 9:6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
How many were sealed again?
Only 144K.
Revelation is speaking about the end time saints who will be living through this. Not saints of the past, nor is it speaking of the remnants of Israel, for why would they be given special protection measures for not following the Lamb? God can still keep them alive by going through the plagues. Or if they did follow the Lamb, why would they be protected from the plagues and the other Christians not? Question everything. Why the special treatment? Because it's not. Whoever walked in spirit and in truth, and was loyal to the Lamb of God is given this privilege.
This means that only the 144K sealed ones, are protected throughout the wrath. Remember the passover? Same type of thing, but there are only 144K, who shine above the others.
What about the rest of the saints who are still alive? I will explain again if you havn't switched off by now;
Revelation 11:1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
Revelation 11:2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
The altar is in the temple. Just outside the temple grounds is the court. This my friends is when the 144K, will be "sealed" for they are standing at the altar where their sacrifices (sacrifices of the heart) are accepted. The rest of the Christians are in the court. They will be trampled by the gentiles (the beast).
Revelation 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
Does the above show that the saints are being trodden on by the gentiles? I think you know it is. Why, because they are in the court. Their sacrifices are not accepted.
1 Corinthians 3:13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
1 Corinthians 3:14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
1 Corinthians 3:15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
Do you see that? If our works have not been good, even with the preaching of error, all that we have done shall be burned. All those labours were a waste of time because it produced no fruit. All his works will be gone, but he himself shall be saved by fire (tribulation/chastisement) to be washed clean, because his garments were dirty.
Guys, some have already been chastised by the Lord, and some have not yet been. We all get chastised at one point or another. The prouder we are, and the more sin we have, the Lord will let us continue in our sin to teach us a lesson....if we have trodden on the truth, and protested against it loud, and trampled even God's other servants who are not corrupted by the spirit of the world, then God does not take this lightly.
Please, let God not find us in the court, but in the temple at the altar where the true worshipers are standing. This is serious. We are in the last days now, and should be going over everything Christ and the apostles said to make sure we have not missed anything in our walk according to Christ's commandments.
Revelation 3:2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.
Revelation 3:3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
Revelation 3:4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
