Salvation of the 144,000

Had an awesom Bible Study last night at chuch and I got something out of the study that I had never got until now. It was very iteresting to me. You see in the Youth Sunday School Class (everyone should go to Sunday School) they have been talking about end time events and what not. Why not considering what is going on in the world today right? Especially with Palestine being recognized as a state today by the UN general assembly.
The youth had some questions that their teacher did not readily know the answers to so she took them to the Pastor Roix who thought that they were great questions and decided to address the whole church with answers. I do not remember what the particular question was that led to the revelation of the Word that I got, but I know that it was about the 144,000.
You see, from reading the scripture, it appears that the 144,000 are made known after the rapture takes place. We get this from Roman 11:25 "...that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Getiles be come in." This tells me that is after the rapture. The event of the rapture would mean that the dispensation of Grace has come to a close and we see the 144,000 are revealed in Revelations 14:1 but at the end of Verse 1 we read this "...having his Father's name written in their foreheads." This is going to take some more study on my part and I am not saying that this is Fact however, I throwing it out there looking for comments and thoughts (please support with scripture). But it is looking like these 144,000 are saved under the old covenant, not the new that would end at the dispensation of grace. Or is it that the 144,000 are no longer blind at this point and get a revelation of the plan of salvation! I will be updating this post as my position developes.

Reading and family prayer

Last night I read Genesis Chapter 2 with my family, then we had a time of prayer together before we went to bed. In prayer I thanked God for the helper that gave me and that she is so much more then that. She is the mother to my 3 little boys, she cooks, cleans and works so hard around the house. I thank God for that woman! But she is also my moral support and I love her more then words can say! I only hope that I can provide for her the way that she deserves, that I can protect her and help her in anyway that I can. That is the thing about being Husband and Wife. I am so glad that God didn't match me with someone who is exactly like me, but instead, paired me with this wonderful woman who is different enough that we accent each other perfectly! God is so great!

Family Prayer

Last night, before putting my boys to bed, we all sat on the couch in the living room as I read Genesis chapter 1 to them. After this, we got down on our knees in front of the couch and we prayed together. It was long but we as a family are praying together. This is a nightly thing that we do simply because we want to draw closer to our God and serve him the best that we can. The old saying is that a family that prays together stays together. In these trying times that we live in what else can we really rely on? Government? Friends? Our jobs? While some trust in chariots or horses I trust in my God. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. God bless you and I encourage you to pray with your family every day!

I am working on a new youth room idea for the youth of our church. It looks like we are going to call it the war room and the them will be Spiritual Warfare. I will be posting some pictures as soon as it is complete. If any body out there in cyberspace has an idea, please let me know. I would love to hear some input from my readers. Planning on taking our community for Jesus by storm!
