Why then does God specify Israel becoming a nation again in Ezekiel 36 and why does He in detail describe who the 144,000 in Rev 7 are if Israel is not a significant separate entity? Rev 14:4 describes them further as male virgins that follow the Lamb. They are redeemed from among men during the tribulation. No argument in that we all become one in Christ supported by the verses you provided. I am still speaking of a nation. Rev 2:9 & 3:9 I see as addressed to the church of Smyrna and Philadelphia as specific church ages. Rev 3:14-20 Is where I view our church age as Laodicean... Neither cold nor hot.. Rich.... Blind... Instructed to repent... vs 20 is my favourite used by many as an appropriate salvation verse yet I see it as Christ knocking at the door of the Christian church.. Let me in! As so many have locked Him out with tradition and humanism. John
