Raul,
I enjoyed your well thought out presentation, and commend your
position on the Old Testament saints current location, and the
fact that the disciples have yet to receive their glorified
bodies.
This complex and meat filled line of bible research raises more
questions about the state of the disciples right now, and what
thrones they will be sitting on.
Did Jesus imply the disciples would sit on thrones in heaven
judging the twelve tribes of Israel, or on earth during the
Millennial reign, or in the New Jerusalem in the fulness of
times ?
revelation says the souls of those killed for the witness of God
were under the throne..implying they had no glorified bodies.
Are these only those martyred in the tribulation, or can these
include church age saints before the rapture ?
"Elders" could possibly include prominent Apostles/ Jewish
disciples, or it could also mean old testament Resurrected
saints from Abraham's bosom. It does not specify if the Elders
were in the spirit or glorified bodies.
John the revelator could not have been in anything but the
spirit when he was in heaven witnessing these events.
Paul states that .."to be absent from the body is to be present
with the Lord..", so all dead church age saints would have to be
in heaven in the spirit, as having not yet been joined with
their glorified bodies as Jesus has.
Yes, many questions..
Your 2012-2019 tribulation with a final blood moon for the next
50+ years is exciting and intriguing.
Thank You for the challenging and enlightening letter.
