Emile, "Read the entire chapter and you will clearly see that the 144,000 and the great multitude of every nation, kindred and language has already been fulfilled through the Jewish Apostles and disciples of the first century." Please don't make any assumptions here. I don't see your conclusion! First of all, without going to far into this chapter, can you tell me and account for the 144,000? I would like to see the details of it. Not the twelve tribes characterization, but where the scriptures says 144,000 Jewish apostles and disciples, from the twelve tribes, were present in the first century. God seems to be very accurate and clear when he talks numbers throughout the bible. So this fulfillment should be clear. "There is no doubt that the suffering and martyrdom of the early Apostles and the consequent suffering of their Christian disciples through the ages are precisely the vision that Apostle John saw." Don't be to sure. Remember, don't let human pride get in the way here. You seem awfully sure about something many Christians would not agree with you on, including this one. "Why is there such a fixation in these endtimes to have these scriptures fulfilled in modern Judaism and modern Israel?" I'll ask God why he made promises to the Jews in the end times when I see him! It only could be because of mercy! Because you are right, modern day Judiasm does not deserve it! But none of us deserve his mercy. And we get it! Why? And another question, why did God pick the Jewish people in the first place to be his chosen people in the Old Testament? Why those bottom of the barrel slaves to have the responsibility God gave them in the Old Testament? And why did he not pick the Gentiles then? Was this not fair? "Whatever God decides to do in these endtimes, I'm with Him. I am willing to change any thought or idea I posses that is not from God." I wholeheartely agree! So let's get back to Hebrews..... God Bless You, Steve PS- I can't wait to get to talking about Revelation! Its impossible for me to understand how you think everything in the chapter of Revelation is fulfilled. Isn't that what you think or am I assuming to much? It just blows my "limited" mind!
