Just wanted to add this: I have not heard God audibly, however, I do communicate with Christ Jesus telepathically, as I believe most Christians do. Sometimes the thoughts that enter our minds could only be from the Holy Spirit, and when we pray we can also engage in telepathic communication with Him; at least that is how it is in my experience. He also fixes the problems in my life when I ask for help, He is very good at delivering me from situations; so I know He hears me, and I hear Him through His word and through fellowship. He is my friend and I believe that I am also His. I really, really love Our LORD Christ Jesus. Peace and Love to all, M.

Revelation Man: I believe that the 144,000 virgins are not actual virgin men, but virgin Spirits.; for we worship Christ in spirit and in truth. This is not about flesh and blood virgin men. I believe that the Spirit is male and the Soul is female. The Church/ Congregation is made up of redeemed Souls who are washed white as snow. Christ is male and the Church is female, being His Bride. There is a spiritual understanding that Christian lack in most cases. Christians do not question their Faith... we believe. I am also a seeker of knowledge and there are so many Christian texts available that we need to strengthen our faith, since most of the Church will be deceived by Anti-Christ, if not all of it. These are things you must also consider. In my experience, most Christians do not usually think of the 144,000, because they believe that the Church will be taken out of the world before the 144,000 are let loose. I also think that when Christ said that in the Last Days knowledge will increase, He meant that the knowledge we already possess about Him and the Kingdom will blossom, gaining new perspectives, but building on what we already know, transforming our minds to new understandings and heights. I also know the Bible very well, unfortunately, I am not like those who can quote verses just like that. I know what Chapter, but I have to search for the verse. The 144,000 will be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit and they will run to and fro around the world proclaiming the Gospel and saving Souls. PS... HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU and ALL MEMBERS of WORTHY CHRISTIAN FORUM. 2019 promises to be very exciting! The LORD is coming! Thanks, M.

Revelation Man, I appreciate what you are saying, however, what I wrote in previous post is what I have found. Firstly, I believe, actually, I know that there are Christians not living in Israel, not even knowing that they are Jews, scattered throughout the world. I have been a Christian for almost sixty years and I have had many dream visions. There are indeed two groups claiming to be the 144,000 existing today. I do not believe that they are the actual 144,000, but the group of the supposed lost Tribes will play a part in the Last Days when Anti-Christ is in power. There is also a fake 144,000. I do not consider myself to be Jewish, although my surname is a popular name in Hebrew. Having said that, I was shown the things that will happen to me. What I am about to write here is the truth and Christ is my witness, because I prayed to Him unceasingly and after twenty-one days, He showed me some of the things which are to come... in my life experience. I do not need to be interrogated or ridiculed. This is my truth. Firstly, I have had dream-visions for a long time, but the last ones were different, because they were about me. I had six vision over a period of a couple of years. I won't relate the first three, but the second three were very astonishing and wonderful and wow! In the first one I was searched. This is a literal thing that happens. I won't go into details, but it was a supernatural experience and God was involved. Secondly, I was in a vision where I saw what I thought was the Rapture happening, people were ascending from a huge crowd, but not many people, in relation to the crowd size. As I watched them ascend, I began to have the though that I was being left behind. The thought was never completed in my mind, because what was about to follow that thought was absolute dread. In a split second before I could complete the thought, I bolt of lightning came down from the clouds where the people ascended and struck me on my forehead. It was a bright white light and it illuminated my mind and my body for about three, four seconds. At that time I was in the place of LIGHT... After I was struck, I could see that there was a seal branded on my forehead. It went right across from outer edge of eye-brow across to other side. I could see the seal, it was branded in white light with golden specs of light within. As soon as I was struck and the light disappeared, I was filled with a great power, like I could run or even fly and I was filled with the Holy Spirit. I had to go and preach, and so I did to some of the people there. The third dream-vision was interesting because it was like a dream within a dream. I found myself standing somewhere and strangely, I was also watching myself standing there. I heard a great roaring noise and I looked to my left and I saw a great big tsunami approaching me. It was so tall that it seemed to reach to the sky, only this was not a tsunami of water, but of fire. It was a bluish-yellowish copper-like fire and it consumed everything in its path. It was huge! Interestingly enough, I was not afraid of it, and I stood there as it approached me. It consumed me and when it passed, I looked down at my stomach area and there was light bursting out. We will also be refined. Just also wanted to add here that several years ago, I had a dream-vision where an elderly man appeared to me in light. He was dressed in colorful ancient garb, looked to be about eighty years old. He was a bit shorter that I was, about five seven or so. He walked up to me and said this to me: 'My name is Elijah the prophet, and I know your name'. He had a kind face and I was astonished. I remember waking up from that and thinking, 'What is happening, I am dreaming about prophets now?' So, having said all that, I do believe that there are some Christians who will find their true identity as being Jews. The challenge with dream-visions is that you do not know if some of the things are actually happening in real time. All these thing I have written is truth, and Christ is my Lord. Christ is active in the Church and many are having experiences. Thanks, M.

The 144,000 are with the Lamb. The new covenant is a spiritual one, Christ Jesus is interested in Saved Souls and Spirits. I have done much research on the 144,000 and I have found 3 groups. There are currently 144,000 Jewish virgin males in Israel who believe that they are the prophesied 144,000. I have found another group of 144,000 who claim that they are from 10 Lost Tribes of Israel. Then there is what I believe to be the true 144,000 of the 12 Tribes of Israel. I believe these ones are not flesh and blood Jews, but spiritual Jews, and some Christians will find themselves belonging to the 12 Tribes of Israel. I also believe that the 144,000 have already been sealed and it is possible that many of them remain unawares, until that day, when the spirit of God is poured out upon them. When they will be filled with the Holy Spirit, and run to and fro throughout the Earth preaching Salvation and Repentance. That time is now! M.

This is a very interesting topic of conversation. I have also seen those who say that 'God spoke to them...' and I am usually very cautious when listening to their message. I believe that God spoke to the prophets with a voice and called them to do His work. His voice was audible. Christ appeared to Paul in a vision and spoke to Him. God also spoke to Joseph in a dream, telling him about baby Jesus. So according to the Bible, God does talk to us in different ways. I do not judge these ones who say that God spoke to them, because I do not know, however we can tell if what they are speaking is truth based on the Gospel. Personally, I know that Christ communicates with us in many ways. I have been attacked by demonic forces that I did not understand and it made me very angry that I was attacked in that way and had no means by wish to defend myself. I did call on Jesus to save me and He did. I have been attacked several times in the spiritual battle we wage against the Gates of Hell, and have had victory with Christ on all attacks. I also had many lessons to learn before I got my prayers answered. I discovered what the 'Sword of the Spirit' really means and how it actually works, because I had to use mine to destroy my enemy. I also learned what it means when the word says 'when I am weak, I am strong'. I had to learn several things, and it was done through spiritual experience, while I was sleeping. I have also had prayers answered in my daily life... all the time. Having said that, I was so angry that I wanted to see the things that are hidden; I wanted to know what was going on and why me? I decided I was going to pray everyday asking Christ to show me the hidden things until He did... I was not going to stop. I was thinking of the constant knocking on the door, and He did open and showed me many things. I prayed for twenty-one days, and then He showed me things... incredible things. There are a lot of wonderful things happening in the Body of Christ today, and I also believe that there are those who are dreaming dreams and some are indeed prophesying. I will say, you should listen to the message to see if it is from God, and if you are a Christian with a discerning mind, you will see what is truly in their hearts and if their message is really from God or not. The Lord works in mysterious ways... who can know the workings of God. I will also say this: when I received my answers from Christ Jesus, He also showed me many things, things that you would cause you to wonder. Wonderful, astonishing things. The words of Scripture comes to life in your dream-visions, and you are the one in the middle. P.S. I have never heard an audible voice, but I do know He communicates with His Flock. I will stop now. Peace and Love. M.

I think that as Scriptures tell us, in the last days knowledge shall increase...and that is because of the 144,000 who will be running to and fro across the world and everyone will hear of the gospel. Concerning the falling away of Christians in the last days, I really believe that many will become disappointed in the Church because of a very important truth which is misinterpreted. This is about the Rapture of the Church. The Church is snatched away, and Christians believe that one moment they will be here and then the next moment they are gone. I think that this is a false interpretation. The church is made up of Angels, Spirits. and when the rapture occurs, it is not the living soul that is snatched away, but the spirit or angel which is within the saved Christian. Two will be sleeping in a bed, one is taken the other left...the two represents, the soul and the spirit. The spirit is taken and the body is left behind, for the resurrection and the appearance of the Lord. Think on it... How would Christians feel when the Anti-Christ is in power and they are still here? Betrayed, because they live with the hope of being removed from the Earth before these things occur. Many will stop believing because they will feel that they were lied to by the Christian Ministry. http://www.myspace.com/wordsbymarlene/blog

I choose to respond to this topic because I had an interesting thought a few minutes ago concerning Islam and the Churches. I should confess that I am not exactly sure what I am about to say here... in the cities where the 7 churches were at the time of the receiving of the Gospel of Revelations and several hundred years after, al these cities were Christian, today all these places are Muslim and Christians remaining from the original churches are being persecuted...in Turkey, which was a mainly Christian country until the 1300's- I believe when Islam began to rule. the other churches are situated in Middle Eastern countries where Islam rules. I am a Christian and I love Jesus and I know that He and Our father loves me. I study the Bible religiously and believe every word to be the word of God KJV. Perhaps the one who comes on a white horse conquering and to conquer... is the Anti-christ and his power is Islam and Sharia Law.. the so-called religion of peace. For about 800 years the Christians fought for Constantinople, the seat of Christianity, but Islam conquered in the end, just as it is happening here in North America. Once conquered and installed, it cannot be removed. Sorry I veered from the topic, but it was just a thought and as you read it, so I wrote it, never had it occurred to me before a few moments ago. I could be wrong. Just a thought...
