Will this finally stop the christians from preaching?

Question

i dont think so but i'll give it a shot...

you remember where all christians were so ok with god's plan to harden pharao's heart in exodus? what if god does the same to all-other non-christian human? so he can finally fulfill the prophecy that only 144000 humans will enter heaven... whatever you say that jesus will save you, are you sure you are included in the 144000 in revelations?

maybe god is hardening your heart that you believe in jesus, fooling yourselves with a false insurance to heaven when only a few are going to heaven in the end? not that i believe god, but if he can harden the pharaos heart so he can kill the inocent firstborn, what makes YOU more privileged to escape the prophecy?

Answer 1

Hehehe , love how you set the mood. The whole thing about the rapture, and all around just the christian religion sounds like such ludicrous to me. It reminds me of a big fairytale.

Answer 2

The belief that only 144,000 will enter heaven is an argument of the Jehovah witness.

When the rapture occurs and the antichrist is revealed to enforce the new world order, many jews will realize that the christians were right about the predictions in the new testament.
They will be saved and since they are already at the end of the world they have not had an opportunity to sin as a christian and are therefore pure. That's who the 144,000 are.

As far as hardening the heart. Yes God can. Pray that he doesn't to yours. If you have ever seen a volcano and ever been in pain just know that the devil is going to hell and he wants to take you with him and he will put whatever he can into your head to get you to doubt your redeemer.

Answer 3

LOL wow I love it when these questions come up, it lets me know, that me who knows nothing,has the one living in me , that knows the answer, the 144000 are not defiled by women,, thats not the only ones going to heaven... who was hurt by the death of the first born? not the babies, they went back to God, the ones hurt by death, are the ones left behind, we thin the dieing are the ones being punished, but its the ones that grieve that are truly punished, by having to live without them.....And the Bible don`t say the 144000 are the only ones going to heaven. keep reading the good book and you will find out WHY God hardened Pharaos heart.

Answer 4

The 144,000 are Jews who will serve as evangelists in the end times. If you read on in Revelation 7 after John describes the 144,00 he mentions "a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb" (7:9) who are wearing white robes and praising God. So there can be as many people in heaven as believe in Jesus as their savior.

Answer 5

You proceed from a false assumption. The 144,000 are from the tribes of Israel. That is not how many people go to heaven.

As it is written: "After these things I looked, and there was a large crowd that no one was able to count! They were from every nation, tribe, people, and language. They were standing in front of the throne and the lamb and were wearing white robes, with palm branches in their hands." (Revelation 7:9)

Notice that the number of people in heaven is greater than anyone can count.

As far as people's hearts becoming hardened, that does happen from time to time. It is not my responsibility to figure out who is who.

My responsibility is to obey this command: "Therefore, as you go, disciple all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you each and every day until the end of the age." (Matthew 28:19-20)

I am to tell people about Jesus and what He did for you. Once I do that, my hands are innocent of anyone's blood. It is only when I fail in this, that someone's blood is on my hands.

Answer 6

First of all, the "only 144,000 will go to Heaven" belief is characteristic of Jehovah's Witnesses; no mainstream Christian holds this false belief. The 144,000 spoken of in Revelation are Jews who preach to the world during the Tribulation.

Secondly, God hardened Pharoah's heart with unbelief, not with belief. You are comparing apples to oranges.

I wish you peace.

Answer 7

Well, I think enough people have made it clear that you're confused about the 144,000.

As far as 'hardening the heart', He won't have to. If you flip back a couple of books in the Bible, you will see that because men reject the Creator for the creation, He will give them up to a debased mind. In fact, study your own question for a while and it might make more sense.

Answer 8

Well, I'm not going to send you a bunch of scriptures since the Word of God seems foolish to those that don't believe, but I am going to tell you that the God that I love and know has been so wonderful and so worth every bit of giving my life to Him that even if there was not a heaven (which there is) and even if I wasn't going (which I am) then knowing Him while I was on earth is enough for me

This is for starters.
And for the record, the 144k are 12k from each tribe and nation of the Jews. Revelation is very specific on that.
*It is ironic at all the members of churches that preach that only 144k can go to heaven....after all THEY KNOW THERE HAS BEEN MANY MORE THAN THAT "OF THEIR FAITH" IN THE PAST ALREADY.
-JESUS LOVES YOU GREATLY.
If you serve the Lord by obeying his word whole heartedly God promises that he will give us strength when needed for all trials in life, and this includes the trial of transitioning from life to the afterlife as well IF WE READ HIS KJ HOLY WORD AND OBEY.
GODBLESS you as you seek thee truth. -LIVE4TRUTH =]

Answer 10

The term 144,000 is only mentioned twice in Revelation and it has nothing to do with who will enter heaven. This is a JW invention of doctrine. Just like Jesus secret coming in 1917..

Answer 11

It specifically says the 144,000 are from Israel:

Rev 7:4
Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel.

But there is also a great multitude of others:

Rev 7:9
After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. 10And they cried out in a loud voice:
"Salvation belongs to our God,
who sits on the throne,
and to the Lamb."
