The 144,000 are
ancient and end time descendants of 12,000 each of the physical tribes
of Israel:.Revelation
7:4-8 "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.(descendants
of ancient
Israel).
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.
Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthalim
were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve
thousand. 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. 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."
In addition, a great multitude
will also be there, with Christ at the throne:.Revelation
7:9,15 "After this I beheld and lo, a great multitude which no man
could number, of all nations and kindreds and people and tongues, stood
before the throne and before the Lamb,
clothed with white robes and palms in their hands."
Christ is able to subdue
all things to Himself:.Philippians
3:21 "Who shall change our vile.(original
is 'lowly', that is, lowly in comparison to the glorified spiritual body).body,
that it may be fashioned like
unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able
even to subdue
all things unto himself." Romans 9:19
".....For who has resisted his will?"
Is there anyone He cannot
save?
All who
believe
in Emmanuel will be justified:.Romans
3:26 "To declare, I say, at this time his
righteousness, that he might be just and the justifier of him which
believes in Emmanuel."
And you cannot believe Him
and in Him unless your mind is specifically
opened:.Philippians
1:29 "For it is given in.(also
can mean 'on').the
behalf of Christ, not only to believe on Him, but also to suffer.(original
Greek is 'to experience life with').for
His sake.(original
for 'His' is 'Him'; word 'sake', not in original).".Not
all minds are open to this yet. These
scriptures will help if one wants to believe but just can't seem to
on his or her own:.Mark
9:24.
More:.Acts
13:48 "And when the
Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of the Lord.
And as many as believed were appointed to
eternal life.(that
is, believers get eternal life; because they believed {believed what?.John
6:47)."
John
3:18 "He that believes on him is not
condemned,
but he that believes not is condemned (original
is 'separated'; that is, from a relationship
with God).already,
because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.".Importance
of belief.
Ephesians
2:8 "For by grace are
you saved through faith and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God."
Ephesians
4:7 "But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure
of the gift of Christ.(one
gift of the Creator is the gift of Christ
in you)."
