Re: Just like harvesting of crops. There is more than one harvest per season. n/m

These are not complicated passages lets look at them and break them down

in the first passage the key is this

Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power,

So these people are the Christians.  The second resurection is everyone else before the judgement there are no 3rd or 4th resurrections

To properly understand Rev 14 you have to read chapter 7

Lets start in verse 4

4 And I heard the number of the sealed, 144,000, sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel:
5 12,000 from the tribe of Judah were sealed,
12,000 from the tribe of Reuben,
12,000 from the tribe of Gad,
6 12,000 from the tribe of Asher,
12,000 from the tribe of Naphtali,
12,000 from the tribe of Manasseh,
7 12,000 from the tribe of Simeon,
12,000 from the tribe of Levi,
12,000 from the tribe of Issachar,
8 12,000 from the tribe of Zebulun,
12,000 from the tribe of Joseph,
12,000 from the tribe of Benjamin were sealed.

9 After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands

So we have 144,000 Jews from the 12 tribes and then a whole bunch of other people

Who were these people? well this is answered in 13

13 Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, Who are these, clothed in white robes, and from where have they come? 14 I said to him, Sir, you know. And he said to me, These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation. They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 “Therefore they are before the throne of God,
and serve him day and night in his temple;
and he who sits on the throne will shelter them with his presence.
16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore;
the sun shall not strike them,
nor any scorching heat.
17 For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd,
and he will guide them to springs of living water,
and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.

Based on this I have to disagree. Scripture must be interpeted with scripture.

That is my 2 cents goodnight
