What are your considerations or studies on the matter of the Overcomers as seen in Revelation?

Question

In Revelation, there are seven epistles written to seven churches. At the end of each epistle there is a call to the overcomers. Each church here.. from Ephesus to Laodicea show not only the actual churches in Asia but also because Revelation is prophetic it shows us " church history " and what is going to happen.
My real interest is the matter of the overcomers. What do you know of them. Who are they? How are the overcomers and the " firstfruits" ( Rev 14:4) linked. Are they one and the same?

I would appreciate some scriptural references and as much detail in your sharing as possible.
Ty for taking the time to study up on this answer.
In Christ

Answer 1

You likely will not believe this. However:
We are at war. Have been since the sin in the garden of Eden. The end result is the overcomers are those "firstfruit", "remnant", "true believers" that come through this war victorious. They were chosen to be so before the foundation of the world by Yahweh. This entire issue deals DIRECTLY with the 'gospel', or better said, GLAD TIDINGS OF THE KINGDOM.

There is a promise in the Scriptures that few receive or understand. This promise is actually the very foundation of what the Scriptures are all about. Due to the importance of this foundational message a war has been raging for the minds of people for thousands of years to keep them from understanding, believing, and proclaiming this particular promise. You are living in the time of the final phase of this war. False teachings regarding this promise are numerous and are promoted by almost everyone. All false teachers, and thus their teachings, are heaped into one "bind" and are termed in the Scriptures as "accursed".
Gal 1:8 But if even we or an angel out of heaven announce as glad tidings to you anything besides what we have announced as glad tidings to you, let him be accursed.
There is no room for tolerance of a contrary view. All will submit to the true Glad Tidings or they are "accursed". One then needs to know what these Scriptural Glad Tidings are, but also, to whom they are addressed. Many will lie to you and teach "Jesus is all that matters; tell us about Jesus and how much He loves everyone". If you think that is what the Glad Tidings of the Kingdom is really all about, you better hold on, because I am not ashamed of the true Glad Tidings of Messiah Yahshua, for IT is the power of Yahweh unto deliverance to all that are given the faith, or that can believe, Rom. 1:16. Even "dogs" may eat the crumbs that fall from the table, Matt. 15:26-28. They just need to know their place, and be willing to admit they are "dogs", or in other words, not the heirs of the Kingdom.
There is here stress placed upon the fact that within this tract a very brief explanation is all that will be presented. Knowing most people are too indolent to read this literature or passages referenced, it is still encouraged all carry this study further, identifying the true Kingdom within the framework of Racial, National, Historicism Eschatology. Historicism is the school of prophetic interpretation of all the leaders of the Reformation as well.
What better place to start for any study than in the first book?
Gen 1:28 And Yahweh blessed them, and Yahweh said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
To subdue the earth means: to subject, force, keep under, bring into bondage everything! Adam was to rule over everything, but notice what that is called; "DOMINION"! This article is not a promotion of what is termed today "dominion theology", there is a hugh difference. Dominion is what a Kingdom is all about! That is the very reason "dom" is part of the word "Kingdom". It relates to the Dominion of the King. This then deals directly with our topic of the Glad Tidings, or "gospel", of the Kingdom. Notice, the Dominion promised is very real, physical, on the earth, and included all of creation, not a spiritualized Kingdom of a "church" or some religious concept. A war is on, since the beginning, keeping the truth of the Kingdom hid. One interested in the truth should address the fact established early in Scripture; physical Kingdom means physical Kings or appointed rulers, and this reveals why so much genealogy is in the Scripture, i.e. genetics. The right of rule was being traced for all to follow. Interestingly, Herod had genealogy records in the temple burned. Why? By their fruits you shall know them; he was just another "mamzer" which had adopted judaism, as so many "jews" today. The records had been erroneous for centuries anyway, corrupted very early in an attempt to hide illegal offspring. The same corruption is true of the Scripture. Yet, let's deal with one of the first attacks in the war regarding this right of rule and Dominion.
Cain is never listed as part of Adam's lineage. This is important, for the Dominion is promised to Adam and his birthright lineage. No one else. As a matter of fact, some passages tell us Cain was of Eve, but the father was not Adam! It is important to understand this fact for it is actually at the root of the war going on of which mention was made.
1John 3:12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one,...
The "wicked one" is simply another phrase for Satan the Devil, the Adversary. So, Satan has from the beginning been warring against the Dominion promised to Adam which has not yet come to total fruition. It begs the question, who was the father of Cain? Not Adam! The first agent used by Satan in the war was a "beast of the field", Gen.3:1. Many leave out this allegory and end up teaching, with crafty subtlety, a false "gospel", and thus, a false Messiah, for which they are "accursed". One should know the reason why; they too may be of their father the Devil. Beware! Satan influenced, or possessed, the "beast of the field" to literally, physically, sexually seduce Eve. This beast was of another race, and had been created before Adam. The evolutionary idea of the religious "cretin", that all races came from Adam's lineage, is a heresy. Consider carefully some of these beasts hold intelligent conversations, repent of wrong doing, have "hands" rather than hooves or paws, sometimes live in houses, are sometimes slaves in captivity, and even seek employment at times, according to Scripture. Those are not things cows or horses do. For example Jonah 3:8, Exo 9:9-19, 11:5, 19:13, 22:19, Lev 20:15, Num 31:47, Jer 27:6, 31:27, 33:10, Dan 4:25, Zech 8:10, etc. One beast was used in Eden by Satan to pollute, and thus attack, the genetic stock of Adam, the Dominion Mandate holder, through his woman Eve. The result of this seduction of Eve was Cain. Eve lost her virginity not to Adam her Master and Head, but to the beast of the field in the garden! Read VERY carefully.
2Cor 11:2 For I am jealous over you with Yahweh-like jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Messiah. 2Cor 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent seduced Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Messiah. 2Cor 11:4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Yahshua, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another glad tidings, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.
Eve was no longer a virgin, as she had been "seduced", as Strong's and others define the word used here, but her husband was not the cause! Satan deceives the whole world, Rev. 12:9, with that false "gospel" religion. They refuse to believe the racial, genetic promises found in the message of Scripture which is central to the "Gospel" of the Kingdom, the Dominion, and so rebel, ending up deceived in a false religion called christianity, proclaiming another Dominion Mandate or Kingdom, a false messiah, "another Yahshua", "another spirit", "another glad tidings" for which they are "accursed"! Paul is showing us how this happens to people spiritually, in their "mind", with a comparison of a literal, physical event. That is the reason he had to stress and emphasize the word "mind" in the first place. No need to emphasize "mind" if mental or spiritual is all the comparative event had been, it would have been understood. The seduction he warned of has occurred and is manifest to this day in people and society in the sexual phallic symbols used in society and especially religion around the world. The steeple, obelisk, wreaths, wedding rings, even the Tau cross and so forth are but a small part of this sexually perverse innuendo. The erected penis styled steeple and obelisk and vagina styled wreath are but symbolic culturally accepted forms of the same lie handed to Eve by which she was literally, physically seduced. If one looks into the history of these items listed they will find pagan religion. Even the wedding rings and cross. All are symbols of the continued attack on the promised Dominion to Adam and his birthright lineage. Gene warfare. Genesis goes further in the details, as the world goes further in its rejection of the Dominion promised to Adam's seed line, because they are deceived by Satan.
Gen 3:15 And I will put hatred between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
The "thy seed", the offspring of Satan, through this rebellion of Yahweh's law and genetic order with Eve and the beast of the field, was prophesied here to manifest hatred for the pure offspring. Who would dare say there is no physical seed of the Devil around us today? They hate the promised seed line and seek to destroy it through sex, through mixing the genetic stock. You see the war every time you see the mixed offspring, or "mamzer". These mamzers are not Adamites nor beasts of the field. The Hebrew term, transliterated here as "mamzer" #4464, is defined by Strong's Lexicon and others as a "mongrel". The term "ereb" #6154, where our term "Arab" comes from, in Strong's and others is defined as "mongrel race". These are terms found in the Scriptures and yet are avoided by the panty-waist preachers of today. They fear the reprisals. You hear the war for the mind every time you hear "another glad tidings" from a preacher telling you how he longs for the day when all of mankind are a "golden brown", as Billy Graham has taught. You hear it when they tell you "the Messiah came to redeem everyone". You hear it when they teach people like myself proclaim "hate speech". It is a battle for your way of thinking; just part of the war. By what authority do some call those things "men" or "women" that are actually "mongrel"? By the authority of a false spirit, or "another spirit" perhaps, as Paul described would happen to those rejecting the fact of the literal, physical seduction of Eve, quoted earlier? Something that is not kind after kind is not just another color or type of "man" or "beast", but rather, an "abomination". That's what Cain was, and any mongrel today as well. You are not to pollute Yahweh's creation! You are not to destroy the order of creation He put in place. Why hate those telling the truth? Because the foul spirit of the Adversary is at war with people such as myself, which keep the commandments of Yahweh and have the testimony of Yahshua, the true Spirit of Prophecy. They hated Yahshua the Messiah as well.
Lev 18:23 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast [Not cows or horses, that sin is dealt with elsewhere] to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
Cain was the result of the first mixed race intercourse. He was cursed, genetically unable to repent, and was afraid he would be killed by the others in the land. From where did these others come? They were "beasts", i.e. "living creatures", created before Adam, termed by some as "Pre-Adamites". His wife, from the land of Nod, and not Eden, was one of these living creatures apparently, and then in his hatred for the chosen line and the warfare he intended to carry on, he builds a city! Building a city for two? No! Cain organized the beasts and his own mongrel seed to oppose Adam and the Dominion promised. Notice:
Gen 5:1 This is the book of the generations [genealogy/race] of Adam...
Who would have thought otherwise if Adam and Eve were the only intelligent ones created? The beasts of the field? Cain and his lineage? "Dogs", "Brute Beasts", thinking it was to them? Yes, the Dominion Mandate is very much exclusive to Adam and his birthright lineage, his "generations", his race, his genetic line. This genetic birthright line can eventually be traced to Noah. What was one of the main reasons for the "flood" of Noah's day? The reason for Noah being chosen should be considered for the answer. One of the reasons they found grace was that their genetic line was pure, Gen. 6:9! Noah and family were not mixed with beasts of the field nor other things that were about on the earth, such a Nephilim. The flood was intended to kill the polluted, mongrelized beings. But notice:
Gen 9:2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
The promise of Dominion was delivered to Noah. Shem, Noah's birthright son, was to whom the Dominion passed after Noah. Many teach Ham, another of Noah's sons, was cursed and was turned black as a result of this curse. That notion is not true. Living creatures, "beasts", are created "very good", they were even on the Ark, they simply are created for a particular role in Yahweh's order. That role is not rulership, nor Dominion. The mongrel regularly turns to these beasts, which are part of Yahweh's created order, and convince them Adam kind are tyrants and seek only to kill them off. Who is behind fostering hatred toward Yahweh's order? Satan and his perverted partners, the mongrel, as well as those foolishly proclaiming "another Yahshua", "another spirit", "another glad tidings", because Satan seduced their "mind", including most "church" leaders, just as Paul warned. Therefore you find mongrels blamed by Yahshua the Messiah for all righteous blood being shed upon the earth. Those "jews" He confronted were not Israylites, but mongrel seed lines, thus "children of the Devil" as Yahshua called them, the "thy seed" of Genesis 3:15. Herod's reason for burning of the records is seen, for he was a mongrel. Many so-called Israylite believers hide their own genetic background for the same reason.
From Shem we eventually come to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and a remnant of the twelve sons born to Jacob. Yes, the Dominion, the very glad tidings of the Kingdom are to a remnant of the twelve sons of Jacob. Yahshua was born of this genetic line, therefore the attacks on the genes are spoken of as ongoing even during the times of the patriarchs. One false teaching, or an element of "another glad tidings", "another Yahshua", "another spirit", found today related directly to the importance of the genetic lineage of Messiah Yahshua is that concerning his birth. Get our tract: "Thoughts On the Virgin Birth". You will then see just how many "minds" have been "seduced" by Satan. All these thousands of years with all the wars and fighting, death and misery with a pretense of peace can all be tied back to the promise of the Kingdom, the promise of universal domination granted to Adam, and Satan's attempt, usually through his agents such as mixed breeds or those deceived by them, to stop that promise from coming to pass. You are one of this very real and physical promised lineage and eventually will receive this very particular promise with its attributes or you are a subjected one in it. If one will not submit to it, they will be put to death according to Scripture and promise:
Luk 19:27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
Isa 60:12 For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted.
That is what is coming! That is why the false dominion systems have attempted many times, and will yet attempt again, to force their way into that role of domination. True peace will only be had when the King, Yahshua, returns. Before that happens the Yliyah messengers go forth and announce the soon return of the King! They tell all to return to the law of Yahweh given at mount Horeb for they know His law is good when used as a guide for right living, Mal. 4:4-6, 1Tim. 1:8-10. They proclaim righteousness is through faith in Yahweh's redeeming work in Yahshua, not the law. The King is coming, get ready to meet him! Being warned, please return to the righteous message of the obedient. Forsake the worldly lifestyle and its false religious, false economic, false education, and false political systems.
Isa 58:1 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.
All opposition will be destroyed. Copy this tract and give it away or write your own. Refusal to proclaim this racial Glad Tidings message identifies you as a blasphemer, despising the birthright promise of the chosen seed line, like Esau, and "accursed". These will eventually be ashes under our feet, Mal. 4:1-3! This is the message, the Glad Tidings of the Kingdom, which shall be preached; then shall the end of the age come, the Kingdom manifesting its total fruition.
Mat 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the age? Mat 24:14 And this glad tidings of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
Whether this tract, "witness", is received or not is not at issue. You will believe what is ordained and appointed for you, Jude 1:4, 1 Peter 2:8. True witnesses are hated by the world for Yahweh's purpose of condemning others, Heb.11:7.
Consider this Kingdom about which you are reading needs a throne and one has already been setup. Yahshua the Messiah shall be given the throne of his father David, the throne of Yahweh on earth, as prophesied and promised. If the Kingdom is to be on earth, as has been promised since Adam, and he is coming to be given this literal throne which David and his offspring sat on, where is the throne today? Who and where are the Kingdom's citizenry? The false teacher screams out "The Church is the Kingdom", and many fall for that spiritualizing lie of Satan and in so doing become part of the "accursed" mentioned earlier. Teaching their false Glad Tidings message is what brought on the dark ages with the Roman Catholic Church murdering over 60 million to which they have taught to this day was correct. Another attempt to eradicate true believers is about to occur, in hopes the counterfeit Satanic dominion will stand. But the ones to whom the Kingdom message is addressed will finally awake, only after much suffering. The false one world, one race, one voice system will collapse. Come out of her, her daughter protestants, and false doctrines, lest you too partake of her plagues. Return to Yahweh and His laws.
Concerning the throne, did you know David was promised the following:
Jer 33:17 For thus saith Yahweh; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israyl; See also Psalm 89:29-37, 132:11
The throne of David would continue regardless as to the sin his offspring committed! Why? It is this throne that Yahshua will soon return to be given:
Luk 1:32&33 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and Yahweh shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
The throne of David was passed to Solomon, his son. Notice this PLEASE:
1Ch 29:23 Then Solomon sat on the throne of Yahweh as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israyl obeyed him.
The throne of David IS the throne of Yahweh on earth! Why do so many teach the throne of Yahweh came to an end, or spiritualize it out of the very realm that was to have a Kingdom in it from the very beginning? Because Satan doesn't want Israyl to know! Israyl is deceived by his agents which are putting out "another Yahshua", "another spirit", and "another glad tidings" which they receive, as Paul warned. The Dominion Mandate, and the attacks mentioned in scripture, even by Yahshua himself, are very much in reference to physical, literal attacks, as well as those on the "mind". The Adversary forces have tried many times to steal the "inheritance". They killed Yahshua thinking to seize the inheritance. They tried to kill Paul many times, (Get our tract: Paul's Thorn In the Flesh).
After Solomon, his son Rehoboam took the throne of Yahweh. Israylites were being taxed heavily and asked to have a reduction in the taxes. Rehoboam refused. This caused a split in Israyl. Rehoboam ended up ruling over, for the most part, what was termed the House of Judah, and the Northern confederacy was then termed House of Israyl and took as their leader Jeroboam. Israyl as a whole, now divided into two houses, or two kingdoms, eventually became so rebellious to Yahweh and His laws that Yahweh raised up the Assyrians to punish Israyl. The House of Israyl was taken into Assyrian captivity, as well as many in House of Judah territories, 2 Kings 18:13. Those taken were to never return to the Middle East as Yahweh would hedge up and wall the way back, Hosea 2:6,7. Therein you will find part of the promise also! True Israyl is still very much a physical group of people.
2Sam 7:10 Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israyl, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime,
Notice to whom "my people" refers. When this promise was given, Israyl was already in the Middle East. Therefore, the appointed place they were going to be planted was somewhere else! Do you know where? Remember, we are still dealing with a Kingdom! The Assyrian captivity was part of the plan of Yahweh. Due to this captivity Israyl would eventually migrate through the Caucasus Mountains, thus obtaining the racial name Caucasian, and eventually be known also as Anglo-Saxons (Isaac's sons), Celts, and kindred peoples.
But what about the promise to David concerning the throne? The throne of David was still in Jerusalem approximately 11 years after the first wave of captives from the House of Judah were taken to Babylon. House of Israyl, because of the Assyrian captivity, had long been gone; about 125 years!
The last of David's lineage on the throne in Jerusalem was Zedekiah. Notice "in Jerusalem"! Many erroneously teach the promise to David was broken here regarding his descendants being on the throne, or attempt to spiritualize. Zedekiah, just before his eyes were put out, suffered to see all his sons put to death before him. But he had two daughters, the "young twigs" of Ezek.17! Rights of inheritance pass to daughters when all the sons are dead or if there are no sons born, Num.27:8. Jeremiah took certain of the items of the temple and the two daughters, Jer.43:5-7, and fulfilled the commission given to him by Yahweh, Jer.1:10. Remember the promise to "plant" Israyl in the appointed place? Jeremiah was to plant the throne of David, to continue the actual throne that was promised, so Yahshua could come to be given that same throne! That is when the total fruition of the Kingdom will manifest. The "tender one" of Ezek. 17:22 is the daughter, "seed", of Zedekiah bearing her right to the throne of Yahweh on earth to the "appointed place", being "planted", marrying a descendant of Zarah, who's seed earlier established Israylites in these "Isles of the Sea", not Middle East.
Eze 17:5 He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful field; he placed it by great waters, and set it as a willow tree.
Jer 1:10 See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.
This is the same Stone Kingdom Daniyl spoke of in Daniyl 2.
Dan 2:44 And in the days of these kings shall Yahweh of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
Please notice the Stone Kingdom was setup, or established, in the days of "these kings". This Stone Kingdom is actually another phase of the entire Dominion Mandate or Kingdom message we started with in Adam. This is when it was planted! It applies to the House of Israyl. The kings it refers to, "in the days of", started with the king of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar, and it was during this king's reign that the throne and lineage of David was moved to and planted in a part of the "appointed place"! During the Babylonian Kingdom and those after, also the present Roman/Babylonian manifestation, all part of the image of Daniel 2, this House of Israyl Kingdom has grown. A fulfillment of prophecy in the promises to mainly Joseph and his sons Ephraim and Manasseh, Gen. 48 and 49. These promises produced Great Britain, Canada, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and of course the 50 state company of states, commonly called America! It is very important to realize that this is a real, physical Kingdom waiting for Messiah to return and be given the throne! It is not a "church" or group of called out ones. It will continue forever, and will not be left to other people. Though the "power of the holy people" is being scattered today, with the invasion of beasts and mamzers draining our resources, Daniyl 12:7; once true Israyl is made low for their sin, rejection of Yahweh and His law, reconstruction will occur, Acts 3:20-21. The age of Esau will end, 2 Esdras 6:9. Yahshua will return and bring about the fullness of the Kingdom on earth. No opposition to Him or His law will be tolerated. All enemies of His Kingdom, of his right of throne, will be slain, as quoted.
One of the main reasons for confusion about the Glad Tidings is the misunderstanding of the relationship of the "church", the ekklesia, to the Kingdom. The ekklesia, the "church", is not the Kingdom itself.
Mat 21:42-44 Yahshua saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is Yahweh's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of Yahweh shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
The Kingdom is NOT given to a "church"! The Stone Kingdom is NOT the "church", it is a "NATION" of people, a "bride". The NATION is House of Israyl! The lie that the "church", or "body", and the Kingdom, or "bride", are the same has spawned many false teachings such as replacement theology, replacing true physical Israyl with a so-called "spiritual Israyl", and amillennialism, which gave rise to the Roman Catholic Church murdering anyone that opposed their apostate teachings, bringing forth the dark ages. It is still very much opposed to the true Kingdom, as are many of her daughter protestants now. Come out of her "my people", i.e. Israylites! The "you" he is speaking to, and having the Kingdom, and the Scepter, Gen 49:10, taken away from, is the House of Judah, for producing no good fruit. Their house was left unto them desolate, Matt. 23:38. But there were two houses, House of Israyl and Judah. The "nation" the Kingdom was being given to was the House of Israyl! Through this nation of people, the true "church", the body of Messiah, or called out ones, the ekklesia, would produce fruit! True followers of the Lamb! The Kingdom has a geographical nucleus found in nations of regathered Israyl spread aboard to the west, east, north and south; as promised to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Gen. 28:14. The Kingdom has territory, an elect race of people being the "bride", governed by laws, and one of the lineage of David sitting on the throne today! The total fruition promised will not become manifest until Yahshua personally, visibly, literally, and physically comes to be given the throne, as promised. The King will rule for a thousand years and then hand the Kingdom over to the Father, 1 Cor. 15:24-25, Psalm 110.
Mat 6:10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth [NOT HEAVEN], as it is in heaven [already accomplished in heaven].
Mat 13:43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun [i.e. kings and priests] in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
One could ask here what a believer's hope is all about. Some may say to go to heaven and lay around on clouds. But we read:
Titus 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great Mighty One and our Saviour Yahshua Messiah;
The spiritual manifestation, grace of Yahweh, has already appeared to these people which are now to look for a literal visible Dominion manifestation, Titus 2:11. Yes, the kingdoms of this world will be brought into subjection and become part of the Kingdom of Yahweh. The age of Jacob will come 2Esdras 6:9. That does not take away the fact that the throne of Yahweh on earth is here now. For Daniyl said that Stone Kingdom, planted in the days of Nebuchadnezzar, would grow into a great mountain, or government/Kingdom, and cover the whole earth. The one world government being promoted is Satan's counterfeit to the true Kingdom, and will deal with those opposed to it as has been done in the past. Spiritualizing the Kingdom of Yahweh into what is called "the church" is a deception, a strong delusion. Regardless, Daniyl also says the saints will possess the Kingdom. The ekklesia, the believers, the "church", are the ones proclaiming the message, preaching the Glad Tidings, to get the people ready for the fullness of the manifestation of the Kingdom, ready for the coming of Yahshua to be given the throne. The believers, true Israylites, are the "heirs" of the Kingdom, they are not the Kingdom itself. Yahshua said the believers, already ekklesia, would "receive" the Kingdom. It is taught people that are already believers would eventually be "Appointed" a Kingdom. The resurrection of those that "sleep" will occur at the time Yahshua returns and bring to total fruition the Kingdom promised. The officers of the "church" are Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors, Teachers, etc., none of those are Kingdom offices. Yahshua speaks of the "children" of the Kingdom, not "children" of the "church". Names are given to the "church" which are never applied to the Kingdom; "body", "building", "holy temple", "house of Yahweh". These same ekklesia rule and reign on this earth in a Kingdom, when it comes into total fruition, as King Priests. The "church", the ekklesia, are sanctified by the Word, it will be without spot or blemish. But the Kingdom is currently infiltrated by the children of the Devil, and will have to be cleansed as by fire! The violent, Esau type mongrels, seek to take the Kingdom by force! These "tares" will be raptured out and burned, Matt. 13. This "gospel" of the Kingdom, with its genetic character, is the focus of Yahshua's ministry, as well as John. Many preach about A messiah, but not the true Messiah. The message of the Kingdom of Yahweh on earth IS the Glad Tidings message. Yahshua is Head of the ekklesia, but will be King of the Kingdom. This does not take away from the promises regarding the throne, planted in the appointed place over 2500 years ago. The fullness of this Kingdom is the total manifestation of the Stone Kingdom which Yahshua will bring about. Saints are part of the body, but they are citizens of the Kingdom. The ekklesia is global in its scope, for the children of Israyl were prophesied to be scattered amongst the nations, thus the need for the great commission, "go ye into all the world", i.e. looking for Israylites, but the Kingdom is geographical at this time, amongst the nations that constitute the House of Israyl, as prophesied, and will, at the return of Yahshua, become worldwide. The ekklesia consists of sealed believers and is pure and holy, the Kingdom consists at this time of a mixture and is in need of cleansing. The ekklesia is at spiritual unity, but the Kingdom is in continuous warfare. The Kingdom is soon to come to total fruition, but not before the cleansing! Not before the Yliyah messengers! Augustine, other Roman Catholic writings, and now her protestant daughters, are the source of the blasphemous ideas of the "church" and the Kingdom being the same, to promote that "church" and a false notion that its head, the pope, had full right to murder all opposers. The lie can be traced back to the Garden of Eden. That's not the Glad Tidings of the Kingdom, that is not the "gospel" at all! That is another "gospel", another Yahshua! It is instead of Messiah, it is Anti-Messiah, a spite of the actual Kingdom promised to Adam and his birthright lineage!
The children of Israyl come out of Egypt and given this promise:
Exo 19:3-6 And Moses went up unto Yahweh, and Yahweh called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israyl; Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself. Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israyl.
That does not say "jew" or "jews" anywhere. The term "jews" is first mentioned is 2 Kings 16:6, after the two house split, where they are at war with the House of Israyl, proving a clear distinction. These terms are erroneous translations throughout scripture. They apply primarily to House, Tribe, or Territory of Judah, or a person or people from or among that House, Tribe or Territory. At times it is not even a genetic Yahudite. House of Judah began allowing non-Israylites into covenant fold. This polluted the seed line. Later, Edom, a mixed race, was forced to convert to Judaism during the Maccabean period and the result was the Edomites were running the temple and government, under Roman authority, at the time of Yahshua, calling themselves "jews". He said they were of their father the Devil then, what do you think he would say of them today? "Anti-Semitic"? We are warned of those that call themselves Yahudites and are not in Revelation 2:9 and 3:9. Yet, even with the distinctions in scripture as well as warnings, most of the dumb dog preachers, every time they see "Israyl" in their Scriptures will scratch through it and put in its place "jew". Most modern so-called "jews" have nothing to do with true Israyl, they seek to kill true Israyl. These "jews" are anti-shemitic, and not of the line of Shem. See the book, "The Thirteenth Tribe" by Jewish author, Arthur Koestler, wherein he proves the Ashkenazi jew, for example, is not from Abraham, much less Jacob/Israyl. They cannot hear His word, as Yahshua taught. Why not believe Messiah?
The Exodus passage quoted is referred to in the Epistle of Peter:
1Pe 2:9 But ye are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 1Pe 2:10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of Yahweh: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
Peter is writing to the "elect" of the diaspora, Israylites, if one check 1 Peter 1:1 and 2. In 2 Peter 3:9 he makes mention that Yahweh is not willing that any should perish. In 2 Peter 3:1 he tells us he is writing to the same people as those in 1 Peter. Then it must be understood, Yahweh is not willing that any of the Elect of the Israylites should perish, and none will. It is foolish to teach otherwise. It is a promise to the elect of Israyl, and no one else. Notice the people that "were not a people" is referring specifically to the House of Israyl. He is referencing Hosea. Paul did the same in Romans 9:24-26. The same chapter he excludes most of the population of the earth from being able to be adopted into the faith. In Romans 8 he tells us of the Adoption whereby we cry Abba Father, and then tells who that adoption pertains to in Romans 9.
Rom 9:4 Who are Israylites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of Yahweh, and the promises;
Paul says not all of physical Israyl are of the true Israyl of Yahweh in Romans 9:6. In other words, the message is to but a remnant of physical Israylites, not all of them, this being the whole point of the chapter. Paul goes yet further and tells us the children of the flesh of Abraham are not all children of the promised lineage. That is exclusive to Isaac. He excludes all of Abraham's children from Hagar and Keturah, thus leaving out all Ishmaylites and many others. The adoption does not pertain to them at all, nor does the new covenant, nor do the promises of a redeemer. He goes yet further and tells us how Esau was excluded. (Get our tract on Obadyah.) But he goes even further and tells us that this entire message is to a remnant of the children of Israyl only. He references Hosea in so doing. His meaning of 'gentiles' is the House of Israyl that had been put away in the Assyrian captivity and which had migrated across Europe to the appointed place and then dispersed around the world, having been put away and becoming "not a people", or "uncircumcision", "gentiles", "aliens". This does not refer to beasts of the field, "mamzers", "ereb", "abominations", "Edomites", "Chazars", "Nothus" nor any other non-Israylite. It refers to the people of the promise. Hosea says:
Hos 1:10 Yet the number of the children of Israyl shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living Yahweh.
This is where Peter and Paul got their reference. The gentiles, or nations the message is to, is none other than the children of Israyl that had been scattered, put away for sin and rebellion to Yahweh's ways. Yahshua was raised up to redeem them and bring them into the assembly, to proclaim Him as redeemer of Israyl and His coming for a Kingdom which had already been set-up over 500 years earlier when the "young twig" had been "planted" by Jeremiah, establishing the throne of Yahweh on earth in the appointed place for which Yahshua is to return as King.
The book of Jude continues and expands on the theme of the warfare and the Dominion. He tells us of the angels that sinned and polluted much of the seed line of Adam. Genetically corrupted offspring being the result, known as Nephilim in Scripture, with genetic ties to many of Israyl's notorious enemies. Some of these things live among us today! You would dare call them "men" and "women"? He mentions too the strange flesh and race mixing, or fornication, among Sodom and Gomorrah, as well as referencing Cain and one Balaam, a false prophet, who tempted Israyl to pollute their seed line with Midianite women. He tells us of false teachers with damnable heresy:
Jude 1:8 Likewise [like what he had just mentioned, race mixing] also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
They seek to defile the physical genetic "flesh", or genes, of Israyl, the promised birthright line! They also despise the Dominion, the Kingdom message, promised to the remnant of Israyl. Do you? If you don't care about this message, you too are just a filthy dreamer and despise the Dominion, much like Esau despised his birthright, and found no place of repentance.
Dan 7:27 And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven [not IN heaven], shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
So why do so many hate this message? Read Genesis 3:15 again! They are of their father the Devil and the lusts of their father they will do. They come to steal, kill and destroy! It is a promise you should believe and proclaim to others. In John 8 we are told that many of the people calling themselves "jews" in Jerusalem were born of fornication, mixed race. Many of them were from Esau, known as Edomites or Idumaeans. In that chapter they say they had never been in bondage in Egypt as the true Israylites had been, nor Assyria, nor Babylon, thereby exposing themselves. They were of their father the Devil, according to Yahshua. Do you believe it? They murdered Yahshua the Messiah, 1 Thes. 2:15, Acts 5:30. This is what you get from a mongrel people, stealing, killing, and destroying. They will do the lusts of their father, Satan. The mixed breed is responsible for all the righteous blood shed upon the earth. This hatred for the chosen seed can also be found in the Chazars of today. This bunch adopted Judaism centuries ago and now claim to be Israyl using "jew" to identify themselves, think also of the ADL, and JDL terrorist groups. Some have gathered in the Middle East, only to be destroyed soon, as scripture prophesies. Yet lying preachers say to minister to these children of the Devil! Such blasphemy!
Satan, and his preachers filling the pulpits, make a concerted effort to prevent the people of the Kingdom from awakening to a realization of their heritage because the acceptance of such a truth would inspire some to return to the laws of Yahweh and expose the lying preacher for what he is, a servant of the Devil. Their prayers will not even be heard in their day of trouble. Acknowledgment of who true Israyl is seems to be demanded:
Joel 2:17 ...Spare thy people, O Yahweh, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their Yahweh? Joel 2:18 Then will Yahweh be jealous for his land, and pity his people.
Eze 33:11 ...turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israyl?
Yahweh has provided a solution to the problem the true people of Israyl have today. The problem is sin, transgressing His law, the solution is Yahshua the Messiah. He came to turn you away from your sin, not leave you in it.
Acts 5:31 Him hath Yahweh exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israyl, and forgiveness of sins. Act 5:32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Spirit, whom Yahweh hath given to them that obey him.
Do you understand, believe, and proclaim what the Holy Spirit witnesses to here? Does your "pastor" or "priest"? Your "rabbi"? Your "friends"?
Luk 1:67-68 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying, Blessed be Yahweh of Israyl; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,
Does your spirit proclaim the same as these passages; Yahshua came to redeem physical, genetic stock Israyl? Or does your spirit tell you something different? If so, it can be assured, you do not have the Holy Spirit but "another spirit". Consider:
Gen. 17:7,19, 24:60, 35:11, 48:16, Exo. 2:24, 15:13,16, Lev. 26:42, Num. 24:2,5, Deut. 7:6, 14:2, 32:8,9, 2 Sam. 7:23,24, Psalms 135:4, Isa. 41:8, 43:21, 44:1,2, 45:4, 17, 25, Jer. 31:1,3,31,33, Amos 3:1,2, Matt. 1:21, 10:5,6, 15:24, 19:28, Luke 1:32,33,68-72, 24:21, Acts 5:31, 13:23, 26:6,7, Rom. 9:4,5, 10:1, 11:2,5, 1 Cor. 10:1, Gal. 6:16, Heb. 8:10, James 1:1, 1 Pet. 1:1,2, Rev. 21:9,12
You should look these up. Many other references could have been made. Yet some will still lie and claim Yahweh has forgotten his people, spiritualizing away the promises. His bride has not been replaced with some spiritualized abomination, "christianity", claiming signs and wonders, 2 Thess. 2.
Awake Israyl! Forsake the sin in your lives, even that rampant in your "church". Come out of those synagogues of Satan! Return to the true worship of Yahweh where perhaps only two or three may be gathered in a home! Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith Yahweh. Get on your knees today and ask Yahweh to forgive you, ask Him to wash you in the blood of the Lamb, Yahshua. Acknowledge the House of Israyl to be the chosen people and ask Him to give you better understanding on that subject, to find your place in his service, even if you are not of physical Israyl. Crumbs from the Masters table can be a blessing. He hears the sincere heart. Be willing to forsake all for Him, and actually mean it. Yahshua is soon to return, and in his parable of the virgins, only five of the virgins get in. Don't expect many! Consider:
Heb 9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new covenant, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
Yahshua came to redeem Israyl for transgressing the first covenant. Do you think this means we can continue to break that covenant? Do you think we can continue to break the 10 commandments, like breaking His lunar sabbath? Do you think this means we can continue to eat meat deemed unclean, such as pork? Paul taught that the law was not made for righteous people, but the unrighteous, 1 Tim.1:8-10. If used lawfully, it will show you right from wrong, but it is only through the Lamb of Yahweh you can be cleansed. That does not mean to forsake the law of Yahweh, but use it as it was intended. Just where are you going to draw the line? At His law or your own? Turn to Yahweh completely, whole-heartedly, for the promise is unto you Israylites, and to your children, and to all Israylites that are afar off, even as many as Yahweh our Father shall call, Acts 2:39, 3:25-26.

Answer 2

Christians think they are safe because they know they would never WORSHIP the beast, as Revelation says people will do, but beware!

The Greek word used for this type of worship is "proskuneo" (paying homage or honor, which is the kind of recognition you would comfortably give a person you perceive as being honorable), which does not mean the religious worship of one's God!

If you enjoy reading a good mystery, this one's for real, straight out of the Bible.

We are meant to solve it, when the time is right.

We are talking about up-to-the-minute current events, here in OUR own life tme, and the person who is elected as US president in 2008 might be him!

The expected "number 7"!

"The one who will preside for a little while."

Answer 3

These people are true believers whose robes have been washed and made white in Christ's blood (7:14) through his death ("purchased from among the people on the earth"). In the Old Testament, idolatry was often portrayed as spiritual adultery (see the book of Hosea). Their purity is best understood symbolically, meaning that they are free from involvement with the pagan world system. These believers are spiritually pure: They have remained faithful to Christ, they have followed him exclusively and they have received God's reward for staying committed to him. The "special Offering" refers to the act of dedicating the first (first fruits) of the harvest as holy to God (Exodus 23:19, see also James 1:18).

Answer 4

Ah, they secret's: "***IF** the favored church doctrine of the Pre-Tribulation Rapture is authentic, who would be left to learn from all this recommendation?" in fact no longer a acceptance contest; many times, in fact no longer commonly used; particularly while in fact gruesome. And this fact is amazingly gruesome... Christians are going interior the direction of the tribulation: Mat 24:8 those form of are the initiating of sorrows. Mat 24:9 Then they'll grant you as much as be stricken and could kill you. and you'd be hated of all international locations for My call's sake. ... Mat 24:29 And on the instant ***after the tribulation*** of those days, the sunlight would be darkened and the moon shall no longer provide her easy, and the celebs shall fall from the heaven, and the powers of the heavens would be shaken. Mat 24:30 after which the sign of the Son of guy shall seem interior the heavens. after which all of the tribes of the earth shall mourn, and that they shall see the Son of guy coming interior the clouds of the heaven with capability and large glory. Mat 24:31 And He shall deliver His angels with a large sound of a trumpet, and ***they shall assemble His opt for*** from the 4 winds, from one end of the heavens to the different. --- The "amassing of His elects" (what preachers talked approximately as the "rapture") happens AFTER the tribulation. The pre-trib preachers' comforting message will in basic terms make a contribution to the large apostasy - maximum Christians are pre-trib in recent times and while the persecution hit them, they don't have a clue what's taking place and turn the back on Christianity that "promised" them a loose trip out of this mess.

Answer 5

I am presently with the Seventh Day Adventist who teach that they are the remnant church. I personally think that yes there is a remnant church who is hearing the voice of God on the earth at any given moment in time. Of course it takes in people from all groups but certainly not a particular group.
I now focus my life's studies on one verse...John 10:27 which tells us that " my sheep hear my voice and follow me and I give eternal life to them." Don't be surprised if some of His sheep are not in the fold you expected them to be from....

Answer 6

Sister Sandy,

And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

Take heed, least any man deceive you, for many have come in His name....

If you can say Jesus is Lord, then ask within yourself, to whom does the Word of God speak?

Answer 7

First of all, you believe it is a prophetic account because those churches no longer exist. It is however, important to admit that they were young churches in existence during the time John wrote Revelations. It is also important to note that many of the prophesies in Revelations, coincide with the existing rule of Nero.

That being said, John also prophesied that Jesus would return before he died. This didn't happen, so it is clear that John's prophetic gifts may not have been honed properly. Especially when considering that the churches he wrote about, are no more.

Answer 8

“Servants” represent all those who choose to properly serve and worship Jesus Christ by following his example and adhering to the principles and counsels he taught. These are also referred to as “the elect,” distinguishing one who elects (or chooses) to worship and serve Christ by keeping his commandments from those who do not.

John was well aware of the seven main continents of the earth, and gave the term “churches” as those who gather and belong to a group of people of the same belief and faith. By using the terms of his day relative to Asia and some of its cities, John hid (with divine purpose) the knowledge he had of the other continents outside of the known world in his time. The symbolism of “seven” represents the seven main continents of the entire earth, and throughout Revelation continually symbolizes all the people of the earth.

The New Testament editors knew little to nothing of any continents other than the region they occupied or legends of more distant places; therefore, they transcribed John’s allegory and presented it as a revelation relevant to the Christian churches known by them at that time, having no idea that the revelation was meant for the latter days when world geography would include seven main continents. The intent of John’s message is for everyone upon all the continents and isles, and all peoples of the earth in the latter days.

There is no set number of those who will return to the earth with Christ during the Millennium. The “tens of thousands” referred to by John, simply means “quite a few.” The reference to “seven servants” and “seven churches” refers to the gospel of Jesus Christ brought to all parts of the earth. This does NOT insinuate Christianity only, but any doctrine of any religion that teaches the precept of doing unto others as you would have others do unto you.

...John tells us that “all kindreds of the earth…shall wail because of him,” which portends an unpleasant experience for the earth’s inhabitants because of their rejection of his gospel.

...Throughout John’s Revelation he uses “seven stars” (in contrast to just mentioning “stars” or “servants”) to represent the righteous people found on the seven continents of the earth; and though their numbers will be few, they will be armed with righteousness and with the power of God to overcome the sins of the world.

...There are only two churches: one is a group of people who are living the commandments and ways of Christ, known as the church of the Lamb, and the other is a group of people who are living contrary to the gospel of Jesus Christ, known as the church of the devil. There are none in-between. A person belongs to one of the two churches regardless of whether he or she claims allegiance to any man-made organized religion. Revelation 3:16 substantiates this truth.

In chapter 2, John first introduced the woman Jezebel as a representation of the wicked works of the world. It is with this woman that the people of the world “commit fornication,” or “sleep in the bed with her” (see commentary on Revelation 2:20–23). John again uses being “defiled,” or “committing fornication with the woman,” as a representation of those who are seeking after the glory, honor, and material things of the world.

Once a person has heard the truth, and begins to do what is heard instead of just listening and doing nothing, that person figuratively begins to bring forth fruit. The “firstfruits” mentioned by all prophets are those things which are the first we do once we have come to a knowledge of the truth. When the truth is known, the pursuit of worldly education, pleasure, and worldly lusts are the first things overcome. Thus, those who have given these things up (“virgins,” who have not committed “fornication with the woman”) are like “the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.”
James put it this way using the same metaphor of our lusts conceiving sin in fornication: (See James 1:12-22)

All of these quotes come from THE most amazing book I have ever read on Revelation. It explains every single verse in plainness. It is free online at the site below.
