Thank you so much for point out who true Jews are ... true believers in Christ.... and the 144.000 are the redeemed people of Christ. Thank you

[ScottyHaywood]

The Holy Spirit is the seal that the 144k received. (2 Cor. 1:22, Eph. 4:30, Eph1:13-14) I was surprised to not hear this taught in what has otherwise been an excellent teaching series.

This was very well done, and I am so thankful i found this. This world is so full of false doctrine and different gospels. We must trust and be willing to lose all along the way, as He WILL bring us through and hold us fast and exceedingly restore. This was truly a breath of fresh air.... inspiring. God bless you and your ministry. Praise God!

Its great to hear teaching that you see in scripture. When it seems every one teaches dispensationalisum

[jamieross]

Thank you, I came to our Lord in a Baptist Church, then to a Non Denominational, on to a Seventh day Adventist, and on and on and don't go to Church Now Because I can't find a Church that teaches the word like you guys are.Cant stand to sit in the pew and hear the pre Trib rapture preached, so many people think if got doesn't save them from persecution that God has some way felled them.

[fofokeith]

So clear a teaching, thanks Brothers.

Thank you for the truth as it is written. I'm glad that there are so many people who know how to interpret Scripture with Scripture and actually read what God's Word is saying. After living a godless life and falling on my face in true repentance guided by the Holy Spirit (not guided by men "repeat-after-me: Lord I'm a sinner..." prayer you normally see in churches today) I have been reading the Bible and wondering where do people get all those extra details that one would only find in the Left Behind books & movies. Come to find out its John Darby and Scofield movement called Dispensationalism and I'm glad I just read the Bible. I thank God that people are starting to wake up. There are others like RC Sproul, Sam Storms, Voddie Baucham, Kim Riddlebarger, Anthony Hoekema, and GK Beale who preach the Bible as it is written and it is breath of fresh air to hear unadulterated, undiluted, solid Truth.

Thanks so much. Feel reassured that my views on this important matter is shared by others . . .😊

I beg to differ. Your interpretation ignores the plain meaning of the text. If the 144K represent the entire church, why 144K? And why belabor their description, not as just "Israel" but - of the TRIBES of the CHILDREN of Israel?" And why then further elaborate as 12K from each of the 12 NAMED tribes. The Holy Spirit was clearly insoiring John to pen it this way to make sure he's understood as referring to a literal group of 144K JEWS! Note then that immediately AFTER that group designated as such, is ANOTHER, different group that is identified as "innumerable" and from all nations, peoples, tribes, languages.

This was so edifying. I’ve always wondered how I could possibly be considered one of the martyrs. But when the point was made that when we surrender our lives up and through death, that that is a form of martyrdom—did I get that right?

[hovsepabgaryan]

Do you have a sermon about the eschatology? I would like to know your view.

[logos]

in the entire 23 minutes and up, You went hard back to back with true intertextuality. Great. So what to these churches like J Mac have to say about this? Its like we need to witness inside the Body of Christ one more time...within the body of christ we need to challenge and witness to them about these Obvious NT passages. THis is the heart of the OT in the NT or NT interpretation of the OT. A classic GK beale and Benjamin Gladd studies. Good work North Ave church.

The book of Rev is very clear who 144000 are. God says what he means, you make everything sound like symbolic.

You let your systematic interpret the bible, not the bible interpret your systematic.

God’s Grace be with you dear brothers ❤

[PD-iubn]

Man, the moment you convince yourself the Bible doesn’t mean what it says, you can make it say anything you want. You guys are shameful.

[PD-iubn]

They are 12, 000 from each of the twelve tribes of Israel. Just like it says in Revelation 7.

[petergouvignon]

Anyone who thinks this is a picture of the end of the world is clueless😊

[JosephBoxmeyer]

In Gal. 6:16 the Church us not called the Israel of God. In Acts 19:32 a mob of idolaters is in Greek hay ekklaysia. Which are they? Israel or the Church? You guys don't understand English. So safer for you little boys if you avoid Greek.

[DG-rilp]

You lost me when you dismissed Israel. Replacement theology is complete heresy.
I stand with Israel 🇮🇱❤️🇮🇱

Ancient physical Israel was the church also. The church in the Old Testament was administered mainly by 3 tribes Levi Judah and Benjamin . All the apostles during Jesus Christ ministry here on earth were from these 3 tribes . These three tribes only are called Jews. Never in the Bible is the ten tribes of the kingdom of Israel are called Jews. The term Jew is a nickname for the tribe of Judah and when Benjamin and Levi joined them to make up this new nation of Judah of Judea are called Jews. A Jew no doubt is an Israelite but most Israelites are not Jews. It’s wrong to call Joseph, Dan, Reuben, Manasseh, ect Jews. I hear many preachers say that all Israel was taken by the Babylonians ( Chaldean empire) as slaves. The Bible says it was only the nation of Judah of Judea ( the Jews) . They also say that all of Jews and ten tribes of the house of Israel returned to rebuild the second temple. Again the Bible says ir was only the Jews, the kingdom of Judah; Judah, Benjamin and Levi. Non from the nation of Israel. When we read prophecy for Israel is not in many cases referring to the Jews, the nation of Judah. The descendants of Abraham Isaac and Jacob are not one nation but many. Genesis 17, 35, 48, 49 chapters. Preachers
Constantly go straight to Genesis 12 but ignore Genesis 17 . Here god replaced the promise of one nation to now many nations. Many also say 144000 Jews. No the Bible says Israelites. 12000 Jews( Judah) 12000 Levites, 120000 Joseph ect….. many Christian’s today are actual descendants of the lost ten tribes of Israel who since the time of them being taken slaves bi the Assyrians God erase their identity ( Hebrew Israelites, and which tribe they were) Deuteronomy 32:26. Today they are nations this world. The promise was I will make you a father of many nations not just one, Manasseh alone was to become the greatest Israelite nation while Ephraim a company or commonwealth of Israelites nations. And each brother also was to become independent nations in the midst of the world.
