From the beginning, God wanted a people He could call His own. His own nation. That nation is Israel, born of the grandson of the "Father of Faith", Abraham. But, Israel is a nation called out from its own nation.
Just as there are two sides to every coin, there are two kinds of Jews. It seems there are no neutrals. The Jews are either sold out, on-fire for God or they are Antichrist idol-worshipers.
Either they were obedient to God, like Abel, or disobedient like Cain. Let's take a look at some of the obedient ones: The One Hundred and Forty-Four Thousand.
Revelation 14:1
And I looked, and, lo a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with Him an hundred forty and four thousand having His Father's name written in their foreheads. (These people have God's name written in their foreheads. In Rev. 22:3 & 4, the Lamb's servants will have Jesus's name in their foreheads.)
2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb withersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. (In the Old Testament, idol worshiping has always been referred to as going awhoring after other gods, so this virginity could be a spiritual type of virginity, not physical.)
5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
Some of the men we read about in the O.T. have a very personal relationship with God!
Joshua 6:27 So the Lord was with Joshua; and his fame was noised throughout all the country. In Joshua 10:12, Joshua made the sun and moon stand still.
Joshua 10:14 And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the Lord harkened unto the voice of a man: for the Lord fought for Israel.
(I bet you any money that Joshua is going to be one of the 144,000! I bet he can't wait to get back in the saddle.)
How God loves Israel! I know He weeps for her children that are not saved.
So, here are these guys coming with Jesus to pour out the Wrath of God. The second time Jesus returns He's going to be angry. And, thank God, we won't be here. (That is, none of God's children, except for the 144,000 Jews He brings with Him on white horses.) They land on Mount Sion, and who are they coming to judge?
BABYLON
Throughout history, Jerusalem has been killing the prophets and ruling the world behind the scenes in every nation of the world. She made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. Yes, other nations were wicked, but this one special nation, the nation of Israel represented by all the wealth and magnificence of Jerusalem and its spanking, brand new gold-filled temple must needs be judged by God.
Why?
Because they disobeyed God. God didn't want them to build that last temple. (It hasn't been built yet, but it will be, soon.) What God wanted was for them to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. But, they refused the cornerstone, Jesus and they have (now) hewn out cornerstones made of stone.
My beloved brethren and sisters in the Lord, I pray that you have not been deceived by Israel and their temple worship. It is not of God. And that means it can only be of one other.
Now, I have pointed the finger at the Jews and the Catholics. And, also, the Muslims.
Let the Truth expose the lies, fabrications, machinations and deceptions of the Devil. The New Covenant is not by works of righteousness nor of building temples of wealth. The New Covenant is born in our hearts by Jesus Christ Who alone shed His blood for the remission of sins. There is salvation in none other name under heaven.
Not even Abraham.
However, these 144,000 are called and chosen and faithful.
Revelation 17:14 These (the ten horns, probably Islamic nations) shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for He is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
It's kind of ironic that first Jerusalem gets judged by the ten horns and then Jesus and His Jewish army turn around and slaughter them! Let's face it, the Muslims are really asking for it. In fact,many of them believe that they will go to "paradise" if they kill a Christian! How ironic is that?
The names of the 12 tribes of Israel are written on the gates of heaven! (Rev. 21:12) And the wall of the New Jerusalem measures 144 cubits. And the city is pure gold, like unto clear glass. That's God's kind of gold. (Rev. 21:18)
Are you saved? It doesn't matter what nation you belong to, Jewish, Greek or Arab, you can have Jesus Christ as your personal saviour and become one of God's good buddies forever! He'll take care of you now and He'll provide all your needs. Then, He'll let you come into the wonderful New Jerusalem He is preparing for all those who love His appearing! I hope to see you there!
