The Great Multitude and the 144,000November 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, |
