Looking for Jeremiah

- In Revelation 5,7 and 14, we are told about two groups !

- They both come from every tribe and tongue and people and nation !

- So there is nothing to do with Israel as a people !

- We also get a limited number and an unlimited number !
 
- The first group has a limited number !

- They have been purchased by the blood of the christ !

- They have the name of the Lamb and of his Father on their foreheads (two names not one) !

- They sing a new song before the throne and they are the only one who can learn it !

- They become a kingdom of priests who serve God and reign with him upon the earth !

- They follow the lamb wherever he goes !

- Then we are told they are from all the tribes of Israel !

- But they can’t be at the same time from every tribe and tongue and people and nation and from all the tribes of Israel !

- Except if we remember Exodus 19:5,6 where it is said that Israel could have become a nation of priests !

- But they didn’t keep God’s covenant !

- So the Levites became the priests in Israel instead!

- In Numbers 3:39-51, they had a special first fruit role !

- Thus Israel was replaced by this first group !

- This group has been redeemed from among men as firstfruits to God and to the Lamb !

- They have not been defiled with women for they are virgins !

- No lie was found in their mouths and they are blameless !

- Thus it is impossible to make a confusion about their nature!
 
- The second group is a countless multitude !

- They come out of the great tribulation !

- They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the lamb !

- They are before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his temple !

- And the one seated on the throne will spread his tabernacle over them !

- They won’t hunger nor thirst nor feel the heat !

- The lamb will be their shepherd !

- He will lead them to springs of water !

- And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes !

- They stand before the throne and before the lamb !

- They wear white robes and palm branches !
 
- Not to forget the third point :

- We are also told that a gospel is proclaimed to those who dwell on the earth to every nation and tribe and tongue and people !

- I will let people time!

- Then I will answer too!

- There is no trap!

- WHAT IS ALL THE BIBLE ABOUT EXCEPT THE FACT THAT IT IS GOD’S WORD ?

- There may be different answers depending on the elements we have!

Wilderness!

They ignored God!
God could have done the same!
But each time when they came back to him, hewould finally listen to them!
But they are limits!
Once again I have to speak about Daniel's prayer to God for the restoration of Jerusalem!
God answered was restoration followed by destruction!
It seems to be clear, doesn't it!
Or is it easier to be deaf?

- Thus we can see his patience!

- It shows he is always ready to wait!

- He takes time!

- For him, time is not important!

- But when he finally takes his decision, there is no way to make him change!

- We may remember Moses prevented twice God from destroying Israel!

- But they have to pay the price!

- And a very high price!

- Some may think men try to take advantage of the situation!

- Think of the demons!

- They lost their position for nothing!

- They keep living but what for!

- They will be imprisonedand finally destroyed!

- After participating in God's creation and serving the creator of the universe, they are reduced to nothing!

- That's free will!

- God expresses his feelings about this attitude!

- Time doesn't count for God!

- But here it counts meaning it has become a habit!

- How is it possible to be so selfish!

- They think they can get away with God's covenant and keep with the interests!

- That's really a strange way to do and think!

- Above all because they have been used to doing it that way!

- And they know that each time they pay the price!

- If they had a bit of intelligence, they should know that there are consequences in the long term!

- And the more they keep doing it the more God will go away from them!

- It is the same with humanity!

- Same attitude same results

- It is not difficult to imagine God's feelings toward such a people!

- We must always keep in mind he said ok for the restoration of Jerusalem and at the same time he foretold Jerusalem's destruction!

- There is nothing to add to express God's final condamnation!
