The 144000

GOD TOLD CARNAL ISRAEL;

Hosea 1:9  Jeremiah 15:1  Jeremiah 11:14  Deuteronomy 31:9  Romans 11:7,8,9,10,25 

Isaiah 65:1-25  is the rejection of carnal Israel and GOD replacing them with another people,  Isaiah 65:15 ,  Isaiah 62:2 ,  Romans 11:14

Now look at what GOD calls the church.

1 Peter 1:1,2  Romans 11:5,7  Romans 8:23  Revelation 14:4  James 1:18  1 Peter 2:9  Isaiah 55:5

The carnal nation of Israel continually rebelled against GOD .  In the new covenant GOD would do a new thing.  HE would call the Gentiles and blind Israel until the number of gentiles that come to Christ is fulfilled.  This was the great mystery Paul spoke about.  The Israelites were the first persecutors of the church and Paul said they were responsible for the death of Christ,  1 Thessalonians 2:14,15,16  Luke 24:20  Acts 7:52 

The carnal Israelites are not converted to become the 144000. When the 144000 are mentioned in Revelation 7 & 14  all the word clues are there to identify who they are.  They are the church of GOD from righteous Able to the ones alive and remaining when Christ returns .  Hebrews 11 mentions by name some of the church before Christ.  From Pentecost in Acts 2 and forward the gentiles and ministry of Paul became the focus of scriptures.  The truth of the 144000 people will not believe because they cannot accept that the number saved in this age is so few.  Well Jesus always said the number saved would be few. Remember I said in this age, that means from Adam until the sealing of the 144000 in Revelation 7.  Now the great crowd, a totally separate group, will suffer the tribulation while the 144000 are sealed.  This great crowd suffers martyrdom but when Jesus returns will be resurrected with the 144000.  It is extremely difficult to understand all that has been written in this article but the spirit of GOD must interpret the information for you as I can teach you nothing, the Spirit is the teacher just as Christ told us.   

In the near future the carnal Israelites will ally themselves with the antichrist who will convince the world to keep the law.  This is why there will be a third temple with sacrifices during the tribulation.  We know the law does not provide salvation which is why antichrist establishes the law.  This deception is biblically based which makes it all the more deceitful.  The elect saints will see right through but the whole world will swallow it hook, line and sinker. It will only be when antichrist says he is GOD that the carnal Israelites will realize their mistake.  This will begin the time of Jacobs trouble, the great tribulation that will spill over into the world. The true church of GOD will be miraculously protected but all others will experience the horror of the tribulation.  I have written many articles about these things. 

I want to emphasize again that I cannot give you the understanding of the scriptures as only GOD is able to open your mind to understand.  I do not expect you to believe me and it would actually surprise me if you did.
