The "servants" referred to there are Israel. John was one of THOSE servants.
Rev 1:1-3 (AKJV/PCE)
(1:1) The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified [it] by his angel unto his servant John: (1:2) Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. (1:3) Blessed [is] he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time [is] at hand.

Which excludes you. You're a servant of the law and worship the works of your hands.
And we know the servants are not subject to the second death.
"Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years." (Revelation 20:6)
Are you not one of his servants?

Revelation was written to the church! Try reading the next chapters where it talks about the seven CHURCHES!!

Gal 4:7 (AKJV/PCE)
(4:7) Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
You are confusing two different things that God is doing and you are making a complete mess of it.

I would be glad to hear what he means within the context.

I agree that the 10 virgins are believers but not all 10 made it in. Those who were not faithful to the end were lost and Jesus did not know them.
What do you see as the Kingdom of God?

Once again, this is in the context of Israel and NOT the body of Christ.
The kingdom of God is a family consisting of those in the first resurrection.
Most kingdoms are family based.

This is their answer for every verse of scripture. Dispensationalists reject that Gentiles are even part of the new covenant. They are an anti-Christian cult who masquerade as Christians.

:dizzy:
Confusing man-made kingdoms with the kingdom of God is par for the course with you.
Sometimes the kingdom of God refers to the earthly kingdom of Israel, God's chosen people on the earth.
Matt 21:43 (AKJV/PCE)
(21:43) Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
Luke 12:32 (AKJV/PCE)
(12:32) Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
Luke 22:29-30 (AKJV/PCE)
(22:29) And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me; (22:30) That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
The LORD Jesus Christ will establish THIS kingdom when He returns with it.
Luke 19:11-12 (AKJV/PCE)
(19:11) And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear. (19:12) He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
Matt 25:31-32 (AKJV/PCE)
(25:31) ¶ When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: (25:32) And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth [his] sheep from the goats:
It's all quite clear until you try to force your own meaning ONTO the Bible.
The current dispensation of the grace of God is only temporary, after which God will restore Israel just like Romans 11 says.

Could you please explain what Paul means based on the context.
Paul means the same thing as Jesus.
"He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God." (Revelation 2:7)

The context of that passage is explained here:
1Cor 9:14 (AKJV/PCE)
(9:14) Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.
The Father did not give up on his first son whom he rescued from Egypt.
Flesh is corruptible so the Father converts the corruptible to incorruptible through Jesus our Lord.
The people of Jacob become the the Israel of God.
"For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation. (Galatians 6:15)
A new creation, not of the flesh but of the Spirit.
Flesh is corruptible so the Father converts the corruptible to incorruptible through Jesus our Lord.
The people of Jacob become the the Israel of God.
"For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation. (Galatians 6:15)
A new creation, not of the flesh but of the Spirit.

The NEW creation is the body of Christ, not some form of Israel.
