The 24 Elders in Revelation are NOT the anointed......

by EndofMysteries in

today i just thought of this.

i had written a thread about the false teaching of the anointed being resurrected already.

anyway, the wt assumes the 24 elders in revelation are the 144,000, and the assumption is merely because both sit on thrones.

MP: I don't know I'm just repeating what was in this very old dictionary/encyclopedia set that I have. They claim that according to EX 2:1 Moses was also in line for the priesthood since he was a LEVITE. But he was given a 'commission' by God directly. As far as prophesying, I don't remember any right off hand myself. I don't remember any prophesying that Abraham did either, but it mentions because he was commissioned by God to go live in tents and leave the city, etc.

Him & Elijah are known in Judaism as both Priests & prophets. [Elijah even took on the role as a Priest offering sacrifice-1 Kings 18:32].

Are we all missing the true 'MARK' of the Wild Beast?

by Newly Enlightened in

disclaimer: hubby & i have been watching a 5 dvd documentary on the 'secret's of the founding father's' we're not sure if we believe everything they talk about but here is some interesting things to think about..... revelation mentions that the 'mark' would either be on the forehead, [for everyone to see] or, on the right hand [if you make a fist, it is hidden] rev also says that no one can buy or sell without this mark.

the wtbt$ isn't too clear on what they believe that mark is, so.... what is one thing that we cannot buy or sell without?.

money!.

Lost: You're right about the rise of paganism. We're seeing more & more of it all the time. Here in just the past year in Albuquerque, NM we have seen a practicing witch/wiccan stab a man and kill him for her ritual. A young kid stabbed a minister because the kid thinks he's a Freemason and was doing Satan worship, etc the list just goes on and on.

Sorry for the repeat above, I'm having browser difficulties.

JGnat: DUH! I'm talking about society in GENERAL, not an underground society of getting just a few items.

Go and try to pay your property taxes to the GOVERNMENT with beaver pelts and let us know how that turns out.

In the 'Interpreter's Dictionary of the Bible' it mentions 24 'Major' prophets. It defines the term prophet as someone that 'sees' the future then announces it.

Here's the list they mention:

Enoch [Jude 14] Moses [ ], Samuel, Gad [2 Kings 17:13] , Nathan, Jeremiah, Ezra, Nehemiah, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi, Elijah

Even tho there is mention of several other 'Minor' prophets there is no record of them actually 'seeing/prophesying' anything. Aaron [Ex 7:1], Deborah [Judges 4:4], Abraham [Gen 20:7] etc,

You may be able to do that on sites like Ebay, or a swap meet, or other places like that, but here in the U.S I challenge you to walk into a grocery store with a custom knife, precious metals or a gemstone and try to trade/barter for a weeks worth of groceries.

Can you pay your property taxes to the government with beaver pelts?

Post the receipt on here because I would like to see that.

You cannot do that everywhere!
