book of revelations?

Question

where in the book of revelations does it say that only virgins will get into heaven. i know it is in there somewhere.what chapter and verse. if anyone knows it will mean that i do not have to read the whole book.

Answer 1

It never says that only virgins get into heaven. I know what your talking about, but its not what it means. If thats the case, then why would Jesus have to die for our sins, then say to be married and have sex inside of marriage to keep it holy, also the only way to heaven is through him?

I think you mean verse 14:4 These are the ones who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are the ones who follow the Lam wherever he goes. These were redeemed from among men, being first fruits to God and to the Lamb.

This, even with read in the whole entirety, is not talking about only virgins getting into heaven.

Another thing to keep in mind, the first mention of the 144,000 in Revelations is referring to 144,000 Jews during the tribulation that will start preaching Gods word, (Obviously because the church isnt there to do it). They will be 12000 from the 12 tribes of Israel.

The second mention of the 144,000, which is described in heaven and in chapter 14, are most likely the most high of saints from the original church. Theres is a couple different ideas, but this one is the most logical when you read the whole book.

Answer 2

"These are the ones that did not defile themselves with women; in fact, they are virgins. These are the ones that keep following the Lamb no matter where he goes. These were bought from among mankind as firstfruits to God and to the Lamb."

Revelation 14 v 4

Answer 3

No verse says only virgins get into heaven. That is a misreading of the text. It simply says that there are 144,000 Jewish evangelists that are virgins in the end.

The only way to go to heaven and not go to eternal hell is by believing that Jesus, who is God, died for our sins on the cross and rose again (1 Corinthains 15:1-4).

Answer 4

They are part of the 144,000.

Revelations 14:4
These are those who did not defile themselves with women, for the kept themselves pure. They follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were purchased from among men and offered as firstfruits to God and the Lamb. No lie was found in their mouths; they are blamless.

Answer 5

not in the bible. Islam says something about 72 virgins doesnt it?

In August, 2001, the American television channel CBS aired an interview with a Hamas activist Muhammad Abu Wardeh, who recruited terrorists for suicide bombings in Israel. Abu Wardeh was quoted as saying: "I described to him how God would compensate the martyr for sacrificing his life for his land. If you become a martyr, God will give you 70 virgins, 70 wives and everlasting happiness."

If they can make it to heaven, one of the rewards all Muslims are promised is 72 virgins. The number of virgins is not specified in Koran, it comes from a quotation of Muhammad recorded in one of the lesser known Hadith. ("Hadith" is an Arabic word meaning traditions. After Muhammad's death, several collections of his deeds and sayings were assembled. These collections are called Hadith and form the second most authoritative document is Islam, right after the Koran.)

According to this page, the specific Hadith in which the number of virgins is specified is Hadith Al-Tirmidhi in the Book of Sunah (volume IV, chapters on The Features of Paradise as described by the Messenger of Allah, chapter 21, About the Smallest Reward for the People of Paradise. The same hadith is also quoted by Ibn Kathir in his Koranic commentary (Tafsir) of Surah Al-Rahman:

"The Prophet Muhammad was heard saying: 'The smallest reward for the people of paradise is an abode where there are 80,000 servants and 72 wives, over which stands a dome decorated with pearls, aquamarine, and ruby, as wide as the distance from Al-Jabiyah [a Damascus suburb] to Sana'a [Yemen]."

So it isn't the case that only martyrs get the virgins, but the only way to get the virgins is to get to heaven, and Koran is quite specific that the only way to be certain of getting to heaven is to die in Jihad.

rev 14 v 4.

John 3 v 16 "For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life" - ever lasting life where? Psalms 37 v 9 - "For evildoers themselves will be cut off, But those hoping in Jehovah are the ones that will possess the earth" and v 29 "The righteous themselves will possess the earth, And they will reside forever upon it."
