The 144000 is the Church, and she was sealed in order not to be deceived in the day of Apostacy, which we are now living in !

Hi , and just where is the Greek word EKKLESIA /ASSEMBLY found in Rev 7:4-8 and in Rev 7:15 will serve God in His Temple .
WE are the Body of Christ and NOT Kings and Priests as Rev 1:6 says ,
Where is the Body of Christ in the Revelation ??
You are are already DECEIVED as the scripture is spiritually diserned , dan p
The Church is Israel, Spiritual Israel !

Hi , and the Body of Christ is not in the Great tribulation as we are now at the BEMA SEAT receiving our rewards , 1 Cor 3:10-16 and Christ appeared in the OT many times and that does not means that the Body of Christ was there too !!
Hi , because the word EKKLESIA is not used , very simple and as I have pointed out the Sealing was to protect the 144,000 ,
The #666 will have no Power over them , dan p
The church is not always called the ekklesia, so where does it say that the 144000 here is not the Church ? The sealing is to protect the Church.
The church is sealed 2 Cor 1:22
Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

Hi , and just where is the verse that says, " the Church is Israel " ??

29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Abraham's Seed in scripture applies to Israel !
