May I suggest you break up your writing into paragraphs so that it would be easier for readers to follow.  I had to refocus many times when reading long replies without breaks when reading through your post.  Thank you friendnt for understanding. 

Revelation 20:4-5, is quite clear and indisputably states that the ONLY dead people who Jesus will raise when He Returns, will be those martyrs killed during the 3 1/2 year reign of the 'beast'.  It is also wrong to think the Jewish state of Israel, will still exist by then. Many Prophesies tell of their virtual demise and only a few, a small remnant will survive to join with their Christian brethren, Jeremiah 50:4-5

Well said. If I find myself concerned for another, it is critical to handle that burden discreetly and properly. In the work that I do, communicating my observations to appropriate individuals is how it's done. If I notice symptoms of dementia in a client, "setting things in motion" is the way that the Lord instructs me to handle it.  Inform those who ought to know and then pray that the afflicted is cared for properly. But then, that's the nature of the work I do for Him. Not everyone works in that capacity. I'm privy to personal information and I safeguard that by saying nothing to those who have no business of knowing.  I believe that the way in which we all avoid becoming the busybody is to conduct ourselves honorably in the Lord. If we wouldn't want that to be said about ourselves, then don't say it about others. That's in keeping with the words of our Lord.

When Paul wrote about the Colossians scriptures he must have understood something very unique that The Heavenly Father from the beginning of the world had decided to rule the world through Jesus Christ in the same way he had decided to judge the world through Jesus Christ and many other things as to make Jesus Christ above all which includes that the Heavenly also were under his authority and not only that but he was given all authority in all the things under the earth. 

I do not have to say anything about you and the good words you have posted. But many things in the post are quite critical about others and without sound preparation, quick to speak about others like you know them very well when you have never spoken to them and have not gotten to know them in the way you should have allowed yourself to form a non prejudicial understanding about the people you have unfavorably comment about. To comment about the people someone should understand how the Holy Spirit works. It works in such away that Peter had to say be patient because "one day with the Lord is as if is one thousand years" this is not a true statement word for word but it gives a clear message as it happened in the old times of those who  prophesied of the things to come about the New Covenant and they long for them to happen in their time but they happened after hundreds of years. For the Lord to relax them and deal with their anxiety and not to speak like is going to happen in their generation, the Lord in the Old told them the infamous say "one day with the Lord is like one thousand years " and he did not tell them that so they can take it literally and begin to count the years and take it up with the Lord and His word when the thousand years passed by. The Lord did not tell them that as start counting the days or years or something else and then bam bam it's going to happen. Because when it is happening and it is happening and it is very obvious that it is happening perhaps but some cannot see it because what is  happening in not happening in their own way of understanding. The Spirit of the Lord is moving in many places and we are not able to see it. The Holy Spirit is not on holidays and neither is Jesus Christ. They are not in the Old to have a day off once a week. We are in the New Covenant and the Lord with his death on the Cross He has given us some rest as to occupied our selves with the better things as to reaching out to others than counting the days of some event and counting the days and that's what they were doing to Peter and Paul and I guess to all the other disciples because they wanted the Romans to be defeated and other things as they wanted to rule over them and the rest of the world and counting me and all my family andnot only me as their servants to be able to be accepted by JesusChrist!! And thus they made them selves fools. Even though Jesus told them that you will rule with me as you make your way through out the nations to conquer the Nations to defeat their Gods in them, in the people and have Jesus Christ rained in their hearts and minds. To conquer the Spiritual powers who had bind the people, to loose them from their bonds to Idols by giving them the Glorious Lord Jesus Christ. To win the battle of Armageddon the battle against the spiritual powers that were and are working in the people they met through out the Nations. We are never alone as the Holy Spirit is always at work and even before we speak drawing the people to Jesus Christ. Paul was about to leave Corinth and Jesus told him, do not leave the city because I have drawn people to me and are ready for the Gospel and I will sent them to you and I will also sent you to where they are. Stay in this town. In the other town Jesus told him leave. Before Paul or anyone went to those cities, Jesus told Paul go to those cities, I have people waiting for you there ready and cultivated to hear the good news of the Gospel. Jesus was working ahead of the places Paul had to go and was drawing to him preparing the people for Paul's message of the Gospel as it happened and the same thing happened with Peter and the family of the Roman Captain Cornelius.
