The Great Multitude and the 144,000

November 16, 2004

Dear Friend,

In my previous articles I have mentioned that we are in the  "tribulations"  Mat.24:21, the  "sixth seal"  Rev.6:12, starting the  "beginning sorrows"  for the United States of America Mat.24:8.

I have shown you that God is "shutting down" the doors Mat.25:10 to His "Place of Safety" Rev.12:6. You hear the "Midnight Cry" Mat.25:6 of the  BEAST'S  coming. The Dragon, the Anti-god is  "giving power to the  beast,  that he may be worshipped"  for  "forty and two month"  Rev.13:4-5 or three and a half years.  "ALL that dwell upon the earth shall  worship (means obey Rom.6:16 or do things his way) him"  Rev.13:8. Now comes the  "patience  (trial of) the  faith  of the saints" V.10.

The  "whole world is deceived"  Rev.12:9, this is why you to be a saint must   "come  out"   of this world, not to receive its  "plague"  Rev.18:4. I have shown that God has now three  LAWS  affecting us, and upon these laws rest His three  RELIGIONS,  and upon these religions is founded God's three  KINGDOMS.

Your  protection  will depend on which   Laws   of God you will  "obey,"  which   Religion    you will be  "baptized"  into, and which   Kingdom   of God you will be  "living"  in.

At the present God is working with  three groups  of people. These are the   144,000 Israelites   from the twelve tribes of Israel,  12,000 from each tribe  Rev.7:4. The next group is the   "Great Multitude"   from all the nations of the world Rev.7:9. These will be the Christians who  "come out"  of deceived Christianity. The third group will be the   "Elects of God"    who will come out of the  Great Multitude  Mat.24:22.

God is using His  "Two Witnesses"  Rev.11:3, whom the world and Christianity could not so far  identify,  as the Jews could not in Jesus the Christ, because God has   "alienated"   Christianity from Him Col.1:21, by not giving us His  "holy spirit,"  and His  "knowledge of salvation"  Lk.1:77,His  "mystery."  The mystery was  "hidden"  until now Rev.10:7, preventing us to be   "reconciliated"    to God 2Cor.5:18!

At the  "End of the World"  Mat.24:3 we were promised that  "there is noting   COVERED,    that shall not be   REVEALED ;   and   HID,    that shall not be   KNOWN"   Mat.10:26, that we could  "come out"  of our  "deception"   of worshipping the Anti-god.

To fulfill this  prophecy,  God has sent the first two of His   FOUR  PROPHETS,   of His  "Two Witnesses,"  to  "restore"   the truth to us as promised Mat.17:11. The  third  Prophet  is sent to help the    Great Multitude,    and the  fourth  Prophet  to aid the   144,000 Israelites,   to help with the  restoration  of God's  "Knowledge of Salvation."

God, our true Christ,  (not the "christ" of "deceived" Christianity)  to help us to   REPENT   of our  idolatry,  for obeying and worshipping the Anti-god un-knowingly, will also set a  "time of refreshing"  to come from His presence Acts.3:19, by  "pouring out of His spirit upon ALL flesh"  Acts.2:17.

This means   SALVATION   will be again   AVAILABLE,    as it was after  Pentecost   for a short time. We will have God's   "holy  spirit"    and the   "knowledge of Salvation" in this age.

The  "Knowledge of Salvation"  will be given by God's   FOUR  Prophets    of His  Two Witnesses.   A different  "gospel"  or  "way of God"  to three different groups of people,  NOT  benefiting each group the same way.  (God gives knowledge progressively.)

How  is  the  "holy spirit"  of  God  will  be  Given?

The  144,000 Israelites  will receive God's "holy spirit" as they did in the Old Testament. The spirit will come    "ON"   them as it did on King Saul ISam.10:6, to  "turn him into another man."   Since the  "holy spirit"  was not   "IN"    them God had to use an angel to talk to His people. Angels communicated with the Prophets in the Old Testament Isa. 61:1. The   LAW   of the Old Testament was given to Moses and Israel  "by the disposition of angels"  Acts.7:53. This is why God's  angel talked  with Elijah 2Kings.1:3, not God directly. Since angels are invisible they could not tell the difference. The Prophets received God's instructions.

Since the  "holy spirit"  is not   "IN"    people, these  can't   "perfect"   God's sacrificial  "love"  in them Jn.15:13. This is why most of the  144,000 Israelites  will be  killed  by the  BEAST,  to  "perfect"  their love IJn.4:17,18 through death, to overcome the  "fear of death"  Heb.2:15. They must die to be in the resurrection  Rev.7:13-15, for the  fearful  and the  unbelieveing ... have their part in the ...second death"  or  eternal death  Rev.21:8. Those who will   FLEE   to  God's place of safety  Rev.12:6 will be in Christ's millennial kingdom.

How  will  the  Great Multitude  receive  the  "holy spirit?"

Since the  Great Multitude  will be those who come out of Christianity, they will receive God's  "holy spirit"  the way the Jews received it on  Pentecost  day. God will  "pour out"  the holy spirit on them Acts.2:17, as He did on the day of  Pentecost.  Who will be these people?

These will be those, who are close to God's  third Prophet.   These, while they will be  STUDYING  the true gospel of Jesus, will   fast,   pray  and  meditate,  waiting for the holy spirit. This is what  Apostle Paul  did before he was  baptized  by Ananias. Paul was   "three days without  sight, and neither did  eat  nor  drink"   Acts.8:1-9. After three days of fasting and prayer God sent Ananias, who baptized him, by   "putting his hands on him."   As Ananias was praying for his sight, and to receive the holy spirit, Paul was  "filled with the holy spirit"  or baptized and healed Acts.8:17,18.

The Great Multitude  will have the  holy spirit,  and  the gospel of  Jesus  as a man gave, not the gospel as  Christ  our resurrected  Messiah and Creator  gave to  Apostle Paul.   These will  not  have the  full Knowledge of Salvation  given later to  Apostle Paul.  This is why most of the  Great Multitude,  to be in the   resurrection,   like the Israelites will be killed by the Beast, that they could overcome the  "fear of death."

The  resurrected Israelites  will be serving the physical saints ruling over the earth. The  resurrected saints  of the Great Multitude will be serving the resurrected Israelites,  and  the physical people,who are in God's Kingdom of Heaven on earth.  There is a progression in our  "calling"  and  "rewards"  in God's governments,    UNTIL   all government will be given to the Father, in the Highest Kingdom of the Spirit ICor.15:25.

There are many reasons why God is using the  "laying on of hands"  to receiving His holy spirit, but it is not the subject of this article.

The   Elect of God   a small group from the  Great Multitude,  not only will receive the  holy spirit,  but the  full gospel of Christ's   Knowledge of Salvation  also. This is the gospel of Apostle Paul Rom.2:16. This is the  "mystery"   given to Apostle Paul Eph.3:3, and  "hidden"  until the End of the World Rev.10:7 or now.

The  Elects   will receive Christ's full Knowledge of Salvation, and God's holy spirit. This will allow them to  "perfect their love"  to become a  "perfect man, unto the measure of the  stature  of the    FULLNESS  of Christ"   Eph.4: 12,13, while they are living Gal.2:20. These will become  "perfect in God's love"  IJn.4:18 and overcome their  "fear of death"  while they live. They all have to do this or we can't be in the  resurrections  Rev.21:8.

This is why these will be  in the resurrection  without dying   ICor.15:52; IThes.4:17.

Christ is  revealing  these things to us  clearer now,  than He did to  Apostle Paul or John.  Christ does this that we may    REPENT    now at the  End of the World,  and have access to the  truth,  to have part in Christ's governments. The  glory  of Christ's rewards on earth and in heaven does not compare with the glory of this present world ICor.2:9. this will make it easy for us to  "lose"  this life to  "gain"  eternal life Mat.16:25.

This group after their resurrection will be serving the  resurrected saints  from the Israelites,  and  from the  Great Multitude,   as members of the  Philadelphia church  of God Rev.3:9-12.

How  is  God's  Knowledge  of  Salvation  will  be  Received?

The  144,000 Israelites  will return to accept the  Torah,  as the basis of their worship, not the  Cabala.  God will send them His  fourth Prophet,  of His  Two witnesses  to   "restore"  the truth to them Mat.17:11. Soon you will find a tremendous  change in Israel.  Israel will discover in  Jesus their Messiah  Jn.19:37. They are already identifying those who  "say they are Jews, and are not but are the synagogue of Satan"  Rev.2:9.

When the  fourth Prophet  will come,  (I expect it in May of 2005,)  He will   "measure"    the  Temple of God,  and the altar, and them that worship therein"  Rev.11:1 to  build it.  This was promised in Dan.11:31, which the   BEAST  as a person will  "pollute"  by placing the  "abomination  that makes (the Temple) desolate"  (by God) for being polluted, by the Beast.

Before this  "desolation"  or abandonment of the Temple by God as it was in 70 AD, the  fourth Prophet  of the  Two Witnesses  will be joined by Israel's premier or  King.  These  TWO  will establish God's  Old Testament religion,  and their physical  salvation.  Physical salvation will be offered to those who will   FLEE  to God's  Place of Safety  Rev.12:6. These are not made  "perfect"  in God's love to be in the resurrection just yet. They will later.

The  Great Multitude  will receive the  Knowledge of Salvation  as it was  given by Jesus  and His Twelve Apostles. God by sending His true  holy spirit,  will use the  third Prophet   of His Two Witnesses to   "restore"   the truth to them. When the holy spirit will be  "poured out"  Acts.2:17, true Christianity will  spread very fast,  like it did after  Pentecost.  The  evil and the persecution  will help God's people to  "come out"  of this world, and to become true Christians. If one has God's  holy spirit,  the truth become obvious, and the knowledge of salvation will be easy to follow. God's truth is   "foolishness"   to those who lack the holy spirit 2Cor.2:14.

The   Elect of God   will receive the  Knowledge of full salvation,  after they have been  baptized  into the  Philadelphia church,  and fulfilled all its  requirements.  This might takes place before the Christians will   FLEE   to  Jerusalem,  and while we are in the  "wilderness."

The only thing you need to figure out is  who will  FLEE  from each group to  God's Place of Safety.  If you read my previous newsletters, the answers are given there. Those will   FLEE,  whom God has  "called"  Jn.6:44 and who have  "learned"  and  "heard"  the  Knowledge of Salvation  V.45, to   "believe"   the Message of Christ, which is your greatest  "work"  you can do in your life V.29.

I  pray  that God may  open your   "spirit of man"   ICor.2:11, by giving you the  "earnest"  of His holy spirit 2Cor.1:22 that your spirit might  understand  His truth, that it may quicken your  mind,  to   "accept"   it, that you may   ACT  on God's words for us, on  "faith,"  that through it you might be  "made perfect"  in God's sacrificial love.

In the reality of Christ's eternal love,
Tom Demeter
