    My bad... - 6600 + 144000...

    Revelations 7:4

    (4)And I heard the number of those who were sealed (saved and sent to heaven). One hundred and forty-four thousand of the all the tribes of the children of Israel were sealed.

    Guess heaven has limited seating.

    I've always understood the sealing of the Jews and those people in heaven were two different groups in Rev 7. It says 9After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

    10And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

    It says don't hurt the earth until the Jewish servents of God were sealed in their foreheads, not taken up to heaven. I can always be wrong, but that's always been my understanding. Of course, we'll just have to wait and see.

    Well, when I went to Sunday school, the nun told us that you had to be good, or you weren't going to be one of those who were saved from the rapture...

    The Bible teaches it's not about man's goodness. That's not what saves us. According to the Bible, we've all fallen short of the Glory of God. That's why Jesus had to die, because we needed Him, and we are sick with the disease of sin. He's already done what needed to be done, now all He asks from us that we believe that He did it. He's asking for our faith and trust. All the Old Testement prophets we know about trusted God, and so did the New Testament people. Abraham believed God and it was counted to him for righteousness.
