[Since this happens to be the first search result for Matt.24:5; I am going to post these links, here, though it may not be related to the post that follows below. (http://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2014/10/who-says-i-am-christ.html)

For those of you who visit "e-jw.org";
you may be aware that I was challenged there, to defend the things I have supposedly taught.
The many scriptures I include in all my assertions are my defense, but I am happy to address the misconceptions being asserted there.
The problem is, I am now (since the challenge was posted) unable to log in at that website. I wonder if the "administrator" who challenged me,
knows that; as well as the "moderator" who agreed with him.
Neither of them have written me directly about these points,
nor asked for any specific explanations to be posted here.
Whatever cowardice is involved in my inability to respond to this challenge,
I hope that cowardice is assigned to the actual one who possesses it.
Deut.32:35; 2Tim.4:14; 2Pet.2:12; Jude1:10

About the reference to Mark3:25...

Let me post the context:

"24 And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25 And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand. 26 And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but he has an end."

So I ask...where here does it say that Satan's kingdom (house) is not going to be divided, or that it is going to "stand" and not end?

Do you think that the feet of Daniel's image is under God's domain, or Satan's?

We read concerning those feet:

Dan.2:41-43:

"41 Whereas you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter’s clay and partly of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; yet the strength of the iron shall be in it, just as you saw the iron mixed with ceramic clay. 42 And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly fragile. 43 As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay. "

Where do you get the idea that Satan's plans will not fall, due to his house not being divided?

In fact, Jesus said that every house not constructed on his teachings, will break apart and fall (Matt.7:26,27).
The fall of this Image, is associated with the end of Satan's world, and the beginning of God's eternal kingdom (Dan.2:34-45).

By the way, I do not teach that the GB is the disgusting thing. If you had really read my writings, you would be well aware that I teach this as an impossibility.

Oh, and I am not the only anointed one who sees our present spiritual situation with clarity.

Another response:

"Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says." (1Cor.14:34)

Which Law?

The Jewish Law! 

Heb.8:7,6 states:

(7) "For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second. 8 Because finding fault with them, He says: “Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah (6) But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises."

Paul also said,

"I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet." (1Tim.2:12)
Who does not permit??? Is it God?

However, I am inclined to believe that Paul was referring to the Bible's meaning of "woman" covenants and those in them...
that these are to be silent before the Christ who teaches them (Matt.10:27; Eph.5:23,24) This is the meaning of the context of 1Tim.2:12 (1Tim.2:13,14,15; Gal.4:19; Rev.12:2; Eph.5:23,24,32) Being "kept safe through childbearing" (1Tim.2:15) is not physical, but spiritual. Also the submissive "wife" of which Paul speaks as having this spiritual protection, is not physical, but spiritual (Gal.4:19; Rev.12:2).
pearl-thewoman.blogspot.com
Do you know how many anointed ones fail in doing this,
by "speaking up" and teaching things that Christ has not given them? These usurp the headship and actual current teachings of Christ.
Paul was the watchdog of the first century, over this very "wife" (2Cor.11:2,3).
This is why he did not permit such inpropriety among the "Bride".

What about anointed woman...How do these compare with anointed men?

(This was later written by Paul)

28 "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus."

Gal.3:28,29,26

"They are all SONS of God" "neither male nor female".

What about Paul's supposed rule about a woman covering their head?

How did the Christian Congregations deal with this Jewish rule? 

If you actually read what Paul said....

1Cor.11:15

"but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering"

Verse 16 reads,

"If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice--nor do the churches of God"

So...

no practice of wearing head coverings in "the churches of God" (New Covenant- 1Cor.14:33; Rev.1:11), nor the yielding to those who "contend" this point.

Why?

It was Paul who wrote Gal.3:28,29,26 as quoted above....

because within the body of Christ, they are all firstborn sons and as such, should not cover that glory. (1Cor.11:7; John17:22; Rom.8:30,18; 2Cor.3:18). The glory given the anointed firstborn "sons of God", shows no preference to physical gender, nor a distinction between male or female anointed (Gal.3:28,26).

The only distinction which God himself places between these "sons" of God,

is their assignment within the body of Christ...

1Cor.12:18,28,29

18 "But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased. 28 And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles?"

Is any distinction made between male and female? Why would there be, if there is neither male nor female inside the body of Christ? If God assigns a son of God (who happens to have female flesh) as a prophet, because that is "just as He pleases",

who should take it upon themselves to say that this is wrong?

(Eze.33:20; Jer.31:22 --look up the Hebrew)

------------------------------------------------------
Another reply:

It has been said that a genuine anointed prophet would not disclose who they were.
To comply with that restriction, this would also prevent that one from disclosing the source of their message.
How many of the Bible's prophets did this?
Can a prophet declare that they have a message from God, and not declare that they are God's messenger?

What was Jesus Christ's example?
Although Jesus knew it was futile (we will discuss why this was the case in a moment)
he answered the Scribes and Pharisees when they asked him....
"Who are you?" they demanded. Jesus replied, "The one I have always claimed to be." (John8:25)
"Jesus answered, "My teaching is not my own. It comes from the one who sent me." (John7:16)
"For I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me to say all that I have spoken" (John12:49)
"Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here.
”You are a king, then!" said Pilate. Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." (John18:36,37)

Why did Jesus not bother to identify himself to those who would not accept him?
We can know by looking at these verses:
"But what about you?" Jesus asked. "Who do you say I am?" Peter answered, "You are the Messiah."
Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood,
 but by my Father in heaven."  Matt.16:15,16,17

Jesus said that a wicked and adulterous generation keeps looking for a sign (Matt.12:39),
something to be viewed with eyes of flesh. They seem unable to see both the signs God is willing to give and the meaning of them. As we saw with the case of Peter, the recognition of a true prophet is determined by God's spirit. It is futile to attempt to convince those who are looking at the flesh (1Cor.2:12-15,10). This is why prophets are not accepted by those who know them well (Matt.13:57,58). The Jewish leaders had all kinds of senseless, fleshly excuses, for their rejection of Christ; even though, all the while, he fulfilled every prophecy God's Word indicated about his identity.

While Jesus trusted his Father to draw the humble to him...
"No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day."(John6:44)
But this did not stop Jesus or Holy Spirit from bearing witness for the sake of those not blind...

13 The Pharisees therefore said to Him, “You bear witness of Yourself; Your witness is not true.”
(This is the very same accusation against me.)
14 Jesus answered and said to them, “Even if I bear witness of Myself, My witness is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from and where I am going. 15 You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one. 18 I am One who bears witness of Myself, and the Father who sent Me bears witness of Me.” John8:13-15,18,49 
So then, did God want people to know who Jesus was?
(God chose who He revealed Christ to.)
Do you think God wants lovers of Truth to recognize His other sons?
"Eagles" will gather to the "carcass"...
And the time is coming, when Satan's agents will no longer be able to conceal them (Rom.8:19,18).

Try to imagine being given insight, visions, and revelations, into the final prophecies by Holy Spirit itself, which show you the calamity to come upon millions, and the responsibility that goes along with that.
Do you think God would approve if you hid the source of your message? (Matt.5:14,15,16; 25:25,30; 1John2:20,27)
Do you think you would have any hope of reaching the world with the truth, if your message and identity  blended in with the Billions of other people leaving their opinions on the internet? (1Cor.14:7,8; Joel2:1)
How would Jesus have accomplished his ministry, and been sacrificed as our ransom, if he never did anything to stand out as God's messenger? (Luke4:16,17,18,19,20,21)
If the people that proclaim that my message is false, because of my truthful statement about why I preach;
I ask them to please leave a comment here, about how they would proceed...
if they were in my shoes.
If your suggestion is based upon scripture,
I will heed it.

The Mark of Slavery

A LETTER I RECEIVED:

Hi Sister Pearl,

  I forwarded some emails to an elder that I thought were very upbuilding. (Emails that I had sent to some of my witness friends.) In return, he sent me an email (and included an article from the Kingdom Ministry, that we should be very cautious of emails that were forwarded to us).

Basically, he chastised me for forwarding stuff that was not directly from Bethel. That's why I sent you the various emails so that you could view them and give me an answer in regards to this elders assessment of the emails I sent out.

  If the email regarding the explosion in Texas showed Jehovah or His people in an unfavorable light, then that's one thing. But this particular email was very encouraging and brought to light Jehovah's spirit of unity and love which in my opinion personifies Jehovah and are His hallmarks. Sister Pearl, I know that Jehovah and His Son are perfect. But His brothers that run the organization are not. I'm convinced of that.  And last week's Watchtower made that abundantly clear.

  In your opinion, should emails that are very positive and encouraging to the brothers and sisters, should they not be forwarded?

Thank you.

MY REPLY:

Hello again,

   (I have an article written for each of the points I am about to raise. 

    I must touch upon many of these points to answer your question. 

    But I can not give you every article here to answer it, so I am going to 

    be very concise. If you doubt any aspect of my answer, I strongly 

    suggest you follow up and gain background information 

    for that particular subject which you doubt or question. If a question
    remains after your reading, please do not hesitate to ask me further.
    If you have not been a regular reader, or have not read the previous
    300 posts, you may be missing much of the foundation to these 
    current teachings. I can not put every possible answer that may 
    arise, in each present post. But I would be happy to help each 
    person individually, or direct you to a previous scriptural reply that 
    addresses your present question.)

First I will address the idea of how the elders enforce the forbidding of sharing any information, unless it is officially sourced with the Organization.  It is important to recognize why this policy exists, why it is so strenuously demanded, and it's connection to prophecy. Yes...this very policy was foretold in Revelation. Please let me explain.Jesus warns his anointed slaves about the situation that will exist in the time of the end. Part of his description is found at 

Rev.13:16,17 which reads:

"He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name."

You may recall that this authoritative one who "causes", is the false prophet/two-horned Beast. We see that this Master forces "all" within his domain, to receive a controlling "mark", upon their "forehead" (thinking/conscience) or on their "right hand" (deeds/power). 
mark-of-beast.html

The result, is that "no one" may "buy or sell" unless they bear the trademark of the Wild Beast. Those who accept this slave mark of the Wild Beast, accept these controlling restrictions over their thinking and actions.

pearl-666.blogspot.com

Try to remember that the book of Revelation is symbolic. Just as these are not literal "Beasts"; neither are these visible "marks", nor is the "buying" and "selling" according to literal monies (as with Rev.3:14,18,19).

buying-and-selling.html

Revelation is telling us that there will be a "two-horned" false prophet who uses it's power to act on behalf of a Wild Beast,

causing all in it's domain to be restricted, in what they can think and do. The only thinking and doing permitted, is determined and authorized by the Wild Beast. Can you see this?
In reality, being marked by the lying doctrines of the Wild Beast, is in direct opposition to being marked by the true commands of God (Deut.6:6,8; 11:18; Luke 4:8). Only God has the right to direct ones thinking (forehead) and actions/power (right hand), which is the mark of God's slaves (Rev.7:3; 14:1).

You could learn much more about this prophetic situation if you also studied the context of Rev.13:16,17 and the meaning of it's surrounding verses. I invite you to do this study, because the more you learn, I am confident, the more you will recognize about the present-day circumstances, and what you need to do, to survive this Great Tribulation.

Two-Beasts.html

  Now you know why the present restrictions exist and their connection to prophecy. But why does the false prophet demand such control over it's people's minds and activities?

Because this is the same period of time that the false prophet and Wild Beast are competing with the true prophets (Rev.11:3,4) to keep the worship of their followers (Rev.13:8). Of course, it is Satan who is behind these lying doctrines (Rev.16:13; 13:4; 9:11). His aim is to drown the "woman" with them (Rev.12:15,17). 

(earth-swallows-satans-river-rev1216.html)

Satan is competing with the true prophets, who are working their assignment to prophesy, during the same era of the final Wild Beast and Harlot (Rev.11:3,7; 12:11,17; 14:9,10,12; 15:2; 17:6,12,14; 18:24; 19:11,14,19,20; 20:4)
Satan and his agents, battle with the witness of truth from the final prophets, because Satan knows by means of that witness, he will finally be conquered (Rev.12:10,11). This final battle between truth and lies, is called Armageddon (Rev.16:13,14,15,16).

If the false prophet allows it's people to have free thinking, and free access to explore outside information (perhaps even sharing it with yet others); it runs the risk that it's subjects may find the truth being preached by the faithful slaves of Christ (Matt.10:41; Rev.11:3,4,5; Jer.5:14). The false prophet (Harlot), and it's Beast know, that this freedom would endanger control over their lying dominion (Rev.17:1,15,2; 18:3; Jer.51:7; Isa.28:15). 

Satan is using this false prophet and Beast to especially keep control of the anointed, in his efforts to restrain these final ones from becoming sealed (Rev.12:15; 9:4). Satan knows that once the Chosen ones do wake up and realize the truth, they will subject themselves to God (rather than continue subject to the Wild Beast). They will then obediently preach revealed truth, "die" for it, and become sealed (Rev.6:9,10,11; 13:15). The testimony of Truth  by the preaching of the "two witnesses", endangers the dominion of the False Prophet. Satan is using that dominion to deceive and suppress the remnant, because once the last ones become sealed; Satan's world kingdom is then conquered, and ends (Rev.12:10,11; 17:14). 

https://pearl-waiting.blogspot.com/

For a time, Satan (through the false prophet and wild beast) is successful in preventing the remnant from becoming "sealed" (Rev.13:7; 9:3,5,10;  1Tim. 4:1,2; Rev.16:13,15). Many powerful deceptions, signs, and portents, mislead the anointed for a time (Matt.24:24,25; Mark 13:5; Matt.7:15,24; Dan.8:10,11,12,13; 12:7; Rev.6:10; 11:2;  2Thess. 2:4,9; Dan.9:27; 11:31; Matt.24:15,16). They were mislead into worshiping the Wild Beast, right along with the rest of the false prophet's dominion (Rev.13:7,8,4). They also knew, that to resist the power, dominion, and control of the Wild Beast and false prophet, would mean dire consequences (Rev.13:15; 11:7; 12:11). Jesus gives "his slaves" this warning (Rev.1:1; 22:6; Matt.24:24,25), because this dominion of idolatry threatens the anointed 

(Rev.13:7,9,10;  2Thess. 2:4;  1Cor. 3:16; Matt.19:14; Mark 9:42; Rev.8:8; Mark 11:23).

pearl-disgustingthing.blogspot.com

Jesus said "By their fruits you will recognize those men" (Matt.7:20). What men? 
Both the true and the false prophets...specifically, those claiming to be anointed ("Christs"/"Messiahs") (Mark 13:22; Matt.7:16,17).

What were the "fruits" Jesus Christ told us to search out? Were they "unity and love", (Luke 12:51) or the power to respond to disaster and the alleviation of victim's suffering? (Matt.7:21,22,23)

If you want to study the scriptures to see what Jesus did say to look for...

what the genuine "fine fruit" is that marks a genuine Christ/prophet,

you can find Christ's guiding words, at https://pearl-finetrees.blogspot.com .

and also at https://pearl-distinction.blogspot.com/

"Positive and encouraging" emails sound harmless. But we have to take a closer look at why we are considering them such. Single out in your mind... What seems positive within them? 
Is it the behavior of people we identify with, because those people are performing what in our estimation, are fine works? 
Do we proudly view those works as proof of God's spirit and favor? 

Please remember that Jesus specifically warned us about such works (Matt.7:22,23; Matt.25:1,2,11,12). He made a point of letting us know that such works are not the sign of God's favor, nor the genuine doing of God's will. Think about how many governmental regimes or cult leaders, have accomplished similar feats with those caught up in following them. (Examples: The small island Britain, conquered Nations all over the world/Nazi Germany had a devoted powerful army/Alexander the Great/Catholic Charities/The Red Cross/ The Peace Corps.) Don't forget the enormity of Satan's power, and his desire to mislead the Chosen Ones with it. 

(pearl-anillustration.blogspot.com)

Is the power we look up to, supporting the "LEAST" of Christ's brothers, or persecuting them? (Matt.25:45,46)

According to Jesus, this is central to God's final judgment and approval.

Jesus laid out a very specific list of proofs, in determining who the true and faithful anointed are....

And in truth, the works you esteem as "positive and encouraging" are not on Christ's list. In fact, he warns that those very signs, are among the "powerful signs and portents" that mislead God's people into following the false prophets, in the time of the end.

Do we want to share in misleading others, by promoting those very same deceptive signs? 

Do we want to encourage others to idolize an organization?

True, the hallmark of genuine Christians is love. But Jesus was more specific about how that love would be manifested.

Just as is the case with the accomplishments of governments and religious charities;

It is not by the works your emails call people's attention to.

If within those emails, there is a promotion of an Organization; and the benefits of belonging to it; we need to reconsider. 
All glory and credit should be rendered to God ALONE (Isa.42:8; Rev.14:7). For, he does not share His glory or worship with anything else. He is our only Savior (Isa.43:11; Jude 1:25) and Master (Matt.4:10; 22:37,38). 

The simple truth is that, 

Yhwh God is not the WTBTS. 
Neither is He the Governing Body.
Last time I checked the Bible, it still taught that it is Idolatry, to let something other than God and His Word, totally control your life.
Neither do the scriptures describe this "mountain-like" organization (Rev.8:8; Zech.4:7), as "Jehovah's" Mount Zion, [made of Jesus and the 144000 (Rev.14:1; Isa.2:2,3; Dan.2:34,35,44,45)].
YHVHs-genuine-mountain.html

This is a counterfeit "mountain" (Rev.8:8; Zech.4:7), and it is being used by Satan to deceive the Chosen into committing idolatry (2Cor. 11:3,20; Rev.12:15; 9:3; 13:15,7,8), so that Satan can delay the arrival of the Kingdom of God (Rev.12:12,17). The Great Tribulation, is spiritual.

Not only does the WT control casual communications such as the one you reference...
the control has become so stringent, that you can not even bring up a scripture during the WT study, unless it is referenced in the paragraph. So is God's Word our primary guide, or the magazine? This is one glaring example of how our Bible's use (right hand) and interpretation (forehead) (Deut.6:6,8; 11:18), are enslaved with with iron-like limitation (Rev.13:16,17); in defiance of God's spirit (2Tim. 3:16; Gal.5:1; Rev.22:17; John 8:32,36;  2Cor. 3:17; Gal.2:4).

Supporting the Truth

I received some questions:
Someone is bringing out on a thread, the meaning of the word "Christian", which in Greek means anointed.  He is saying by using that term all are considered anointed that profess to be Christian.  I am thinking he may have a point.  This may be a term specifically for the true anointed but not for the non-anointed.
 What do you think?
 I also remember reading somewhere on your blog how to determine that the number 144,000 is literal.  As soon as I find it, that's my next convincing point with this person.
 The "daily sacrifice" - "constant feature" in Daniel 8:11 is a crazy hang up point for a lot out there for some reason.  My thought is a concern for a stream of true worship to the Almighty being replaced by false worship. Is this true?
 I have also lost my dear friend - After all the scriptures I sent and the reasoning, she says I have left Jehovah and his Organization, even after I stated many times I would never leave Jah or Jesus.   As I said before, she is not sighing or groaning over all the detestable thing going on in the Org.

My reply:

You will run into many powerful demonic deceptions on forums. We are at war with those falsehoods, under which power and darkness, the whole world lies.

The word "Christian" of course, comes from the word "Christ" which does mean "anointed one".
This is why Jesus said "False Christs will arise and mislead many". He was speaking of those falsely claiming to be faithful anointed (F&DS). (Notice he did not say, "false Christians", but "Christs"/anointed ones)
The word Christian, means to be a disciple of Christ....a follower of the anointed/Christs, of which Jesus Christ is foremost and first (Rom.8:29; Heb.1:8,9). A disciple of Christ can be anointed, or can be not anointed. All can strive to be a follower of Christ, or, a "Christian".
You can be a Christ/anointed one, and yet leave off following Christ, which would mean that although you are a Christ, you are not a Christian.
You can be a Christian, and yet not be one of the Christs.
The "ian" at the end of the word Christ-ian, indicates one who is associated with a genuine "Christ" = Christian.
To illustrate, a Librar-"ian" is associated with a Library, but is not the library itself.

Regarding the number 144000. I have not yet definitively stated that it is only literal.
What I can tell you is that there is a required number of anointed priests (proven by the fact that the Jewish anointed of the first century ("little flock") were not considered enough to comprise the completed Temple priesthood (John 10:16; Acts 13:46; Eph.1:10;  1Pet.2:5; Eph.2:20-21,22).
On the other hand, we know that the book of Revelation was written in symbols (Rev.1:1 -check Greek). The number 144000 does have symbolic meaning. I will write more about that meaning in the future. It is based upon the numeral 12 (6+6), which also has great meaning (12X12=144).
(pearl-666.blogspot.com)
It is also based upon 72 (36+36/ two "times") (Luke 10:1 NIV)...which is half 144 for a reason (72+72=144). This (72) is half the witnesses needed to make 2 witnesses for the establishing of Truth (John 8:17). All these numbers have symbolic meaning. Until Holy Spirit finishes teaching me these things, I suggest not preaching ahead of it's witness.

When this Holy Place is trampled by the Gentiles, taken captive (Rev.13:10; Luke 21:24; Col.2:8)...

...and they dominate or remove the priesthood from the Temple (1Pet.2:5,9; Eze.44:6-7,8-9;  2Thess.2:4; Rev.11:2)...
that priesthood and it's sacrifices, stop. This is the same "5 month" period while the unsealed Holy Ones are "conquered"/held "captive", by the Wild Beast (see Rev.13:7,10; 9:4-5,10), previous to being set free to do their work. I suspect that Dan.8:11 overlaps with Rev.8:1.

Regarding your friend, It helps to remember what Jesus said, about the effect his truth would have on close associates...
Luke 12:51-52; Matt.10:34-35,36; Luke 17:34-35
Those who are saved through the Great Tribulation will be separated from those who are not saved, in order for those being saved to join the other eagles in the wilderness
(Luke 17:35,37; Rev.11:8; 12:14,6; 11:3).




I am very happy to hear about your son, and have hope and pray that this positive development will continue. If it does it is because of our heavenly Father's grace, and your son's heart condition. The Tribulation was prophesied to be so effective, that parents could not save their own children from it (Eze.14:14,20-21; Rev.6:7-8). If they are saved, it is because God is reading their own heart (Hab.2:4). It is important that in time, your son is given further understanding of how these present events and circumstances were prophesied, and are being fulfilled....not in the way we were taught to believe, but in the way God's Word foretold.

Thank you for your past offer to help others on forums, to consider many Truths.
I suggest that you choose to comment on threads that discuss subjects which are already covered by articles which you might refer others to, perhaps with a personal comment about what you learned, or a part that you appreciated.
You will find that there will be many negative responses, even by the sort who have no faith in God whatsoever.
Jesus himself did not answer every senseless question and retort (John 8:25; Mark 14:61; Matt.12:19; 26:63). We are out there working for the searching humble ones (John 21:15), and we can choose to respond to only these (Matt.7:6).

Thank you for writing me, and I'm glad to support you anytime I can.

I hope this reply has helped you with your questions.
Please let me know if there is anything else, and again, thank you for your support of the Truth.

May our Father's spirit continue with you and yours, and any work you do. (Heb.6:10).
Love in Christ

Who inherit the earth?

A QUESTION:
Hello there! Could you please explain to me what is meant by "the meek shall inherit the earth" Psalm 37:11. Will some obedient children of God live on earth as well ?
Thank you for your time.

MY REPLY:
Just as there can be many children in one family, and they may each receive benefit from their common Father;
so too is the blessing of eternal life and the restored inheritance of all that Adam lost (Psalm 37:29).

Not all children in a family are born at once. The family begins with the firstborn.
The initial firstborn son of God, was the "Word" (John 1:1,14).
That word became flesh and became the son of man (Adam's descendant), Jesus Christ (Luke 21:36; Matt.8:20).
He replaced the original human firstborn son of God (Adam), because Adam is now considered dead (Gen.2:17; Eph.2:1; Hosea 6:7).

By means of  "repurchase" [through the "woman" covenant with Israel (symbolized by Hagar --Gal.4:25)], and the Covenant with Abraham [symbolized by Sarah (Gal.4:24,31,26)], a new human heir was born to fulfill the promise, and replace Adam... with the man, Jesus Christ.
Jesus became the "second Adam" (1Cor.15:45).
God gave life to Adam (Gen.2:7). God gave life to Jesus Christ....twice (Luke 1:35; Rom.10:7,9). His human life was received through the "Sarah" mother covenant first. (Gen.17:7; Heb.5:5). Just as Sarah bore Abraham the son Issac, the Covenant bore God a son, Jesus Christ.
Both of Jesus Christ's "coming to life" were based upon covenant...symbolic mothers
(pearl-thewoman.blogspot.com)
God promised Abraham that his seed would inherit the earth (Gen.28:13,14; Rom.4:13), which seed is Christ (Gal.3:16) and the faithful anointed (Gal.3:29,26).
The kingdom covenant promised to Abraham, is mother "Sarah" (Gal.4:26,24,28;  1Pet.3:6) to all God's chosen Nations since Abraham throughout forever, including.... physical Jews (including Christ), spiritual Jews (Rom.2:28-29), and the kingdom inheritance to come.
Just as all promises stem from God's promise to Abraham (Gen.17:2,7,15-16), so too all stem through the mother "Sarah". This compares to generations and ancestors. These remain our ancestors, though the successive generations change. Each generation is as a specific covenant, which has a beginning and a fulfillment. So too with God's Covenants. Yet they all take their place under the umbrella of God and his covenants with "Israel" (which meaning is "Sarah of God") whoever Israel is, based upon each covenant. (Sorry if I am not clear enough here.)
The promised "seed" (Gal.3:16), was the "meek" man Jesus Christ, who became heir of what Adam lost (1Cor.15:47). He is the first one,
to fulfill Psalm 37:11 and "inherit the earth" (Psalm 2:8; Heb.1:2;  1Cor.15:28; Col.1:16; Eph.1:10,20-21; Matt.28:18).

Jesus Christ did not marry and have his own physical seed, while a human man.
But just as a grown firstborn son may inherit his Father's blessing and goods (Deut.21:17), he himself may come to have a firstborn son through the life-force he received from his own father, and through his sacrifice for them (John 10:10; 12:24; 5:21; 6:57; Rom.8:2,17; 6:5; Psalm 45:16;  1Cor.15:45-46; Rev.20:6),
In time, these "grandsons" also inherit blessings and goods. (1Cor.8:6; Rev.14:4; Heb.12:23; James 1:18)
 (Rev.2:26; 3:21; 20:4; Eph.1:3; Dan.7:18)
Who are the sons of Jesus Christ, so that these too may, in time, inherit the earth?
Jesus Christ will also become a father, through the covenant/woman/promise (Gal.4:26; Rev.12:1-2). Christ's bride consists of the faithful, sealed anointed, who are the source of blessing to all.

      -- https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2023/12/a-spiritual-family-new-creation.html

These are also born under the promise/woman/covenant, which God made with Abraham, which covenant is also symbolized by heavenly "Sarah" (Gal.4:26,24;  1Pet.3:6,14; Acts 3:25; Rom.4:13,16; 9:8; Gal.3:22,24,26,28-29).

Christ was born physically as a Jew, through this Sarah covenant. He was symbolized by Issac --Heb.11:18; Rom.9:7; Gal.3:29,16; John 14:6; James 1:18;  1Pet.1:3).
The New Covenant (inaugurated by Christ's death) can compare to Rachel, and the resurrected Christ, to Isaac's son, Jacob. Rachel is the covenant which suffers the death of all her seed (Gen.3:15; Matt.2:18; Gen.42:36; Isa.49:20-21; Rev.6:9), but only temporarily (Isa.62:11). The resurrected Jesus Christ as "Jacob", becomes the father of the twelve tribes of spiritual Israel, each tribe of which is under a "father"/apostle (Rev.21:12,14). It is as if those 12 "fathers" (2Cor.12:14-15;  1Cor.4:15) give rise to a living Nation/Temple priesthood (Eph.2:20-21) of which 144000 are sealed (Rev.7:4; Matt.19:28).

To those whose sins are paid for by Christ's blood, he is not only their life-giving father (Isa.9:6; Ps.45:16), but also their husbandly owner (2Cor.11:2; Eph.5:27; Isa.62:5; Rev.14:4,5; 19:7; 21:9) His firstborn sons also must die, in order to bear seed (John 12:24; Rev.6:9,11; 12:10-11; 11:7; 20:4).
This is the final "woman"/covenant, Christ's bride. Once this "bride"/Temple is completed and their sacrifices fully offered, (Rev.6:9; 14:1; Eph.1:10; 2:21;  1Pet.2:5); "she" is ready to bear/give life to, the rest of God's earthly family of children in the New Creation.
In a sense, Christ's sons will then take possession of their mother covenant, to bring forth their own seed...
the Third Generation seed, or, earthly creation.
Isa.62:5 reads:

"For as a young man marries a virgin,
So shall your sons marry you;
And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
So shall your God rejoice over you."

It is the firstborn sons of God and Christ that inherit the double portion (Deut.21:17; Isa.61:7)...[the world to come (2Pet.3:13; Heb.2:5,16; Rom.8:19,18; Ps.45:16) AND access to the heavens (1Pet.3:18; Rom.6:5;  1Cor.15:50,53; Rom.8:9,23,17; Phil.3:20; Rev.14:1; Heb.12:22-23; Matt.5:8; Rev.22:4; Ex.33:20; Acts 1:3),
pearl-holycity.blogspot.com
But in God's earthly family, there will be further children to come to life, after the firstborn (Rev.20:5 A; John 5:28-29; Acts.24:15) and remaining ones of the woman's seed of anointed (Great Crowd). All the children of Jerusalem above have hope of eternal life, and a sharing in the benefits of Christ's inheritance of the earth. These will live under the eternal kingdom of the faithful firstborn, who gave their lives that others might live, in imitation of their Lord, King, and Head, Jesus Christ. Of course, though Jesus is the life-giver to the 144,000, All owe everything to The Father, who will adopt the firstborn (Rom.8:15,23; 9:4; Gal.4:5,6) that they can be fellow heirs with Christ (Gal.3:29).
  In a physical sense, this may compare to a Grandfather, who gave life and blessing to the actual father, and by which the anointed will receive whatever they have. They in turn, will also share their inheritance, with their earthly seed, and all Creation 

(Acts 20:35; Rom.8:19,21; Acts 3:21; Heb.1:6;  2Pet.3:13).

a-spiritual-family-new-creation.html

Once these finally reign over their full inheritance with Christ (Rev.5:9-10; 20:6; Matt.25:23); they will be used to provide eternal life to the rest of God's earthly children (Rev.21:2-3,4-5; 22:2,17). Their priestly service has already begun, and those who accept them will be rewarded (Matt.10:40-41,42; 25:35,40,34;  1Tim.4:16; Mal.2:7;  2Cor.5:19-20; John 4:14; 7:38-39; Rev.22:17).
Those who accept that "life" by righteousness and faith, will share in the blessings Adam lost...
the Garden of Eden, eternally. (Psalm 37:11; Rev.22:2)

Twelve Tribes

A QUESTION:

I do have a question for you about Revelation 7:4,5,6,7,8 as compared to Romans 11:16

I agree that this is speaking of Spiritual Israel which is made up of all different tribes and tongues of the physical.

However it seems to me that the 144,000 are taken "from or out of Spiritual Israel".

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

REPLY:

Do you mean from the twelve tribes mentioned at Rev.7:4?

Yes...I believe that those 144000 are "sealed" (chosen) from the 12 tribes of spiritual Jews...those who were taken into the New Covenant, (chosen to be heirs).

I believe that not all who are chosen to reign in the kingdom, make it 

(Matt.22:8,14; Luke17:34-37; 1Cor.9:24).

I do not see God's favor to the physical Jews as extending past the first century. 

My scriptural reasons are as follows:

After the first century,

the anointed are derived from the larger flock of physical Gentiles (Acts 13:46; Rev.5:9,10)....

The "little flock" were anointed physical descendants of Abraham (physical Jews).

Since the first century, the anointed have been chosen from among physical Gentiles ("every tribe and tongue and people and nation") to become spiritual Jews, along with the original physical Jews who also became spiritual Jews, (under a NEW Covenant) (Heb.8:7)

so that both physical Jew and physical Gentile,

all become "one flock" of anointed spiritual "Jews". (Rom.2:28,29)

(http://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2013/01/what-is-jew-what-is-gentile-answers-to.html)

The last of the anointed priests and kings (the great crowd "capstone" Zech.4:7,9),

MUST be all physical Gentiles. There is no longer any record of physical Jews,

nor any preferential consideration toward them, since the time of their rejection of God's Son;

and since the opening of the kingdom hope toward Gentiles (Acts13:46; 10:15; Eph.2:14,15,16; Acts10:34,35,44,45; Gal.3:28).

These anointed (since the first century) are all physical Gentiles, being from "every tribe and tongue and people and nation".

The "other sheep" are physical Gentiles, taken into the "one flock" of anointed spiritual Jews (a new Nation of God --1Pet.2:9,10).

The doctrine that "other sheep" are not of the heavenly calling, to me, is error with an evil purpose....

to take away the distinction between what God has cleansed (circumcision of the chosen Priest's heart by spirit) and the common spiritual Gentile.

This deceptive doctrine is the basis for allowing the disgusting thing to enter the holy place (the Man of Lawlessness to raise himself up above the sons of God). (Mark13:14; 2Thess.2:4; 1Cor.3:16)

About the understanding of Rom.11:16;

I know many people think that God's favoritism continues to fleshly Jews, and that they, despite their rejection and slaughter of God's son (Matt.21:38) will still inherit what was promised to Abraham's "seed". But scripture tells us that this promise to Abraham was fulfilled, when Jesus received the inheritance of that promise. He was that promised seed (Gal.3:16; Psalm2:8; Heb.1:2) and the promises were fulfilled in him. 

God had no further obligation.

Because Jesus Christ shared that inheritance with his "brothers" (Rev.2:26; Luke22:29), and the resurrected Lamb of God bestows it upon his "sons" (Psalm45:16);

 additional "seed" share in those blessings (Gal.3:29; Rom.4:13; 8:17; 9:8), according to God's choosing (Rom.9:15,16; John15:16; 1Cor.12:18) and through their cleansing through Christ's blood (1John1:7; 1Cor.6:11; 5:7; Rev.14:1) and the "Word" of God (Eph.5:25,26,27).

I can best respond to your question about Rom.11:16, by including the context of that verse.

It is hard to do this, because in all these verses there is so much information. I guess the clearest thing to do would be to respond to what I think your question is, and put my observations and understanding (in orange) within the verses.

Rom.11:18-32:

11 "I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not!"

(God does not desire any to "fall". They "stumble" due to their own defect, but this is not God's will)

But through their fall, to provoke them to jealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles (I see this as a hope that jealousy will provoke "some" to humble themselves, out of the realization that they no longer have favor with God due to their flesh and circumcision.). 

12 Now if their fall is riches for the world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much more their fullness! 

(I see this as saying that the failure of the Jews opens a door to the Gentiles ("riches for the world/Nations"). If the Gentiles receive these riches through the Jew's failure, how much more will the world receive blessings through those who are physical descendants of Abraham, and who have accepted Christ!) (I see this group as the "little flock" of Chosen physical Jews.)

13 For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry, 14 if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and save some of them. (meaning...those who respond and repent) 15 For if their being cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?

(By God's loyalty to his righteous standard, and subsequent rejection of the unrepentant physical Jew, He has furthered a righteous arrangement, which will reconcile/restore the world to God; 

then the Jew's rejection means their being lopped off for death...and their repentance/acceptance of messiah, will mean a rescue from death.)

16 For if the firstfruit is holy (1Cor.15:20,23; Col.1:18), the lump is also holy (1Cor.5:7); and if the root is holy (Rev.22:16), so are the branches (John15:5). 17 And if some of the branches were broken off (physical Jews), and you, being a wild olive tree (physical Gentiles), were grafted in among them (Eph.2:11,12,13,16,18,19,21,22), and with them became a partaker of the root (Rev.22:16) and fatness (oil/spirit) of the olive tree (Zech.4:11,14; Rev.11:4,3), 18 do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.

19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off that I might be grafted in.” (Physical Jews removed from their unity/covenant  with God, which resulted in access for the physical Gentiles.) 20 Well said. Because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear. 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either. 22 Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off. 23 And they also, IF  they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again (as repentant individuals, not as a nation --Matt.16:27; 2Cor.5:10; Job34:11; Rom.2:5; 14:12). 24 For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, who are natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree? (Grafted back in, should they accept Christ in the first Century. After the destruction of Jerusalem...the loss of genealogical records, and loss of all God's favoritism; they are just another "Tribe" among the "Nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues".)

25 For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part (not all Jews rejected Christ) has happened to Israel (fleshly) until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in (to compensate for the lacking of Jewish priests). 26 And so all Israel (all spiritual Jews) will be saved (including those physical Gentiles who are also "called", by means of Christ's blood, which removes the wall/distinction according to the flesh --Eph.2:11,13,16), 

as it is written:

(I also see a secondary spiritual fulfillment of these words. Spiritual Israel experiences a blindness in part, according to 1Cor.13:9,10;  John9:5; Isa.63:18; Luke21:24; 2Pet.1:19. This occurs until the "fullness of the Gentiles has come in", or, until the full number is reached (144,000), through the kingdom door being open to physical Gentiles. In the time of the end; "Jacob" is found sullied by "ungodliness", due to the Great Tribulation. Only the remnant are washed clean by the Great Laundryman/Refiner.)

“The Deliverer will come out of Zion,

And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob;

27 For this is My covenant with them,

When I take away their sins.”

28 Concerning the gospel they are enemies for your sake (the gospel is that Gentiles (all Nations --Acts10:34,35) are acceptable and are replacing the Jews as those in Covenant with God), but concerning the election they are beloved for the sake of the fathers (to provide repurchased seed for the dead forefathers of the promises; because their literal physical seed are still considered dead in sin/rejection of Christ.). 29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. (God's promises to Abraham are to be fulfilled, even if he creates their "seed" from stones! --Matt.3:9; Gal.3:29)  30 For as you (physical Gentiles) were once disobedient to God, yet have now obtained mercy through their (physical Jews) disobedience, 31 even so these also have now been disobedient (all Spiritual Jews*), that through the mercy shown you (disobedient chosen ones, same as previous group*) they also may obtain mercy (God makes atonement for all the repentant anointed. All chosen are made equal in sin, and need to repent, even after their calling they must be washed clean --Eph.5:26. In this way there is an equalizing. None can boast.). 32 For God has committed them all to disobedience, that He might have mercy on all." (all repentant anointed)


The last of the anointed priests and kings (the great crowd "capstone" Zech.4:7,9),
MUST be all physical Gentiles. There is no longer any record of physical Jews,
nor any preferential consideration toward them, since the time of their rejection of God's Son;
and since the opening of the kingdom hope toward Gentiles (Acts13:46; 10:15; Eph.2:14,15,16; Acts10:34,35,44,45; Gal.3:28).
These anointed (since the first century) are all Nations...both physical Jew and physical Gentiles, being from "every tribe and tongue and people and nation". (Rev.5:9,10; 7:9)...all called to be spiritual Jews (Rev.7:4; Rom.2:28,28; Gal.3:26,29,28; Matt.3:9; Gen.12:2; 17:4)

I know you only asked about Rom.11:16, but I believe the context enforces the proper interpretation.

First the "wall"...then the entire "Temple"

A LETTER I RECEIVED:

I was wondering what you think of this...
 When Jerusalem's temple wall was breached by the 'Gentiles', and then left...and they didn't come back for "3.5 years/times", do you think that was a prophetic type for what we are going through now?
 Seeing the "gentile elders/beast" in the temple (standing where it ought not Mark 13:14) and us having to flee to the mountains (Eze.36:8)...
Are we in the 3 and a half times that was allowed for people to escape ?
 I don't think it was a chance thing that 3.5 times was allowed by Jehavah to set a pattern for modern times.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

REPLY:

You are right. I remember having the same conversation with my husband about the time it took for the Romans to return, and that it was a prophetic pattern for now.
The Romans threatened all those in Jerusalem (Jew and Christian) the first go round.
The second/last threat and assault, was only for those who did not obey Jesus, by "fleeing" "Jerusalem" (Matt.24:15,16; Rev.18:4).
The first 3 1/2 was the ministry of Jesus (3 1/2 years).
The second 3 1/2 was while the faithful were in the wilderness, after their fleeing Jerusalem.
During the entire "7", the Gentiles are in power, and "Jerusalem" is under the effect of their domination. 
(Luke 21:24; Isa.5:5; 63:18; Dan.8:13; 12:7; Rev.11:2,3,7; 13:7,10,15; 6:9,10,11; 20:4)

Of course it is obvious that these original two periods (of three and a half years each) were not consecutive. This is because they are not, in their fulfillment today, a literal time period of seven years. This is partly why God's Word refers to them, as seven "times", and not as seven "years". It is also why each "time", is 360 (12X30), and not a 365 solar year.

In the first Century, the Temple was already under the dominion of the Romans, before either attack on Jerusalem. So too today (Dan.7:25; Rev.13:7; 9:3,5,10; Matt.5:13).
The point at which the first assault by the Gentiles occurs today, is when the faithful anointed, are "killed", or, disfellowshipped/expelled (John 16:2; Heb.13:13; Mark 13:13; Isa.66:5;  2Chron. 13:9). This is comparable to the first century, and it's temple's "wall" being breached at the first siege (Isa.5:5; Ps.80:12; 89:40; Prov.24:31). Today, not all of the anointed Temple, are made powerless with this first breach.  That complete collapse of "Jerusalem" is yet to come (Dan.12:7).

This "wall" today, (Matt.21:33; Neh.1:3; 2:17) was a defensive boundary (Job 1:10) for the "Temple" (1Cor. 3:16;  1Pet. 2:5; Eph.2:21,22) and all the unsealed priests (both anointed leaders and anointed followers/Steward and domestics) within it.
Once the "wall" is initially breached (Rev.8:10,11; 13:1; 9:1,3; Job 30:14) by the spiritual "weapons" the false prophet gives to the Gentiles (deceptive doctrines, lying arrangements, illicit power and false authority Rev.9:1,2,3,7; 13:2,11,12,14,15; 16:13,14;  2Thess. 2:9,10; Hosea 4:6; Dan.8:24 (Rev.13:12); Luke 21:24; Rev.11:1,2),
(1st Century-- Matt.27:1,2; John 18:30,31; 19:12,15; Luke 23:2)
the previous defensive "wall" no longer protects the chosen priests within it (Ec.10:5,6,7;  2Thess. 2:4; Ps.82:6). Once the breach expels those who take a stand for truth, the stage is then set for the demise of the entire temple, ...including the "Harlot" (Ec.10:8; Isa.47:10; Dan.8:13; 11:13).

The second siege, is for the unfaithful. The very same river of lies (white-washed wall) of the False Prophet/Harlot/wicked steward, that was breached by Gentiles (Beast) to destroy their brothers; will later come back and also take them away (Isa.28:15,17,18,19,20; 30:12,13; Jer.50:15; Rev.18:6).
The meaning of "wall", are teachings we obey, that serve as a boundary to our conscience...which can be a protection if they are true,
or if false, will be our demise.
Such walls can be "fortified", "torn down", "repaired", "burrowed through", "white-washed", "cracked", "stormed against", "groped for", "sat upon", "leaning"/"swell out", "crawled upon", "rebuilt", "dug into", etc. I assume you can interpret what these symbolic descriptions mean, regarding wall-like teachings and truths, as well as false doctrines.
A book could be written about all the Bible's meanings, regarding this one symbol of "wall".

What the harlotrous, ruling, and chosen Steward does not realize, is that the protective wall that she empowers the Gentiles to remove (so that her fellow anointed slaves are open to attack; (1John 3:12,15; 4:20), is the very same wall that protects her. She has removed the distinction between the common Gentile ("elders") and the sanctified Priest (anointed chosen) (Lam.1:10; Eze.22:25,26,27,28; Matt.7:15; Acts 10:15; 20:29; Zeph.3:3; Eze.44:6,7,8,9) so that the uncircumcised Gentiles can become priests of the Temple, ...profane the Temple... and discard it's priesthood (2Chron. 13:9;  1Sam. 22:17,18,19,21) ...a priesthood which competes with the power and authority of the Harlot 

(Matt.21:45; 23:13,27,28,30,31,32,33,34,35; Rev.18:24; Isa.26:21; Luke 11:50; John 11:47,48,49,50).

    She does not foresee that the power and authority she gives the Gentile Beast (Rev.9:3; 13:15), is also a threat to her. The Gentiles will not remain her lovers forever (Jer.2:20; Eze.16:15,16; 23:16,17,28,29,30,35,22,23,24,25,26,27; Rev.17:2,16). 

The non-anointed Organization does turn on the adulterous Chosen Ones above it. Ironically, it is the power that the Beast receives from the False Prophet/Harlot, which it uses to destroy her. This is a perfect fit to all the prophetic parables the scroll of Revelation uses, to describe the fornication between the Gentiles and the Chosen House Manager/Steward (in Rev.ch.9;  ch.13; and ch.17). (Luke 12:42,45,46)

Does the Governing Bdy. really have divine authority, to allow spiritual "Gentile" Elders
(not anointed, priestly "Jews" -Rom.2:28,29;  1Pet. 2:9)
...to replace the chosen priesthood, take over their duties (Eze.44:6,7,8,9), pass judgment on God's elect (Rom.8:33;  2Pet. 2:10; Rev.13:15), and throw them out? (John 16:2; Rev.11:7;  2Chron. 13:9)
Only the anointed priests have received the "circumcision of the heart" that they may enter the Temple to "render acceptable service"
(Rom.2:28,29;  1Pet. 2:5;  Num.18:7; 3:10).
Any other arrangement, is considered a "disgusting thing, standing in a holy place" (Mark 13:14; Rev.11:2).


The second siege is the point after which all have had the opportunity to "flee" apostate Jerusalem. Once you see the faithful trampled upon, you know that "Jerusalem" is "surrounded by encamped armies" of Gentiles, and it is time to FLEE (Luke 21:20,21,22). When the "Gentiles" return, they will devastate the unfaithful who remain inside....this is when the "Beast" turns on the "Harlot". It is after the faithful have already been thrown out, or, have been "killed" by the "Wild Beast" (Rev.11:7; 6:9) for their faithful stance for Truth, even in the face of its consequences [Rev.12:11; 11:7; Luke 17:33; Matt.10:32,33 (John 14:6; 4:24)]. At the final devastation of apostate "Jerusalem", the faithful are "outside the camp", in the "wilderness" (Heb.13:13; Luke 17:30,31,32,35 Luke 17:37NKJV; Rev.12:6; 11:3; Eze.14:22).

The first 3 1/2 times, can partly be described as the period during which the anointed are growing to maturity, being taught by Christ, following in his footsteps, and being "drawn" by the Father, while under stewardship (Gal.4:2,3,1;  1Cor. 4:15; Heb.12:9). The midpoint is when they are matured and ready to submit to their Heavenly Father...killed for their faithfulness and loyalty (Rev.6:9,10,11), chosen and sealed.
The second period of 3 1/2, is when they fulfill the role of John the Baptist/Elijah, by preparing the way for the second arrival of Christ, calling for repentance of those in Covenant with God, and those associated with them (Luke 1:17; Matt.3:3; 11:14; Luke 1:76) which also applies today (Mal.4:5; Matt.17:11; 25:6; Acts 3:21).
This is the same period while they are considered the "carcass"/"slain", upon which the sealed "eagles" (and those who receive them) feed (Luke 17:34-35,36; Luke17:37NKJV; Jer.3:14-15; Matt.24:27,28; Rev.12:14;  1Cor. 10:17).

This is their period in the "wilderness" (set free from "Egypt", "Sodom", and "Babylon" Rev.9:13,14; Luke 4:18; 1:17; Mal.4:5; Matt.17:11), when they are given the freedom as the wings of eagles (spiritual perception) and open entrance into the marriage "feast" (Matt.25:10; 13:12). One need not be anointed in order to be invited into, and partakers of, this spiritual feast and it's provisions (Matt.22:8,9; Rev.19:9)....which is the opening of the seven seals of Revelation (Rev.5:1,6,7; 1:1,20; Zech.4:2,3,4,14; Rev.11:3,4; Matt.5:14).

This is also the window....the time of escape to the wilderness....to flee to the "hills"/"mountains" of Judea (Matt.5:14; John 15:5; Eze.36:8; 17:23), who are also the faithful slain (Rev.6:9,10,11; Matt.24:28; Job 39:30,27,28,29,30; Luke 17:34-35,36; Luke 17:37NKJV; Jer.3:14-15).

This is not the same feasting as the "wild animals and unclean birds", who feed upon the slain wicked ones (Jer.49:16; Ob.1:4; Job.39:26; Eze.39:17,18,19,20,21,22; Hab.1:8,9; Rev.18:2; Isa.13:21; 34:11,13; Jer.50:39; 51:37; Zeph.2:14).

Once the Gentile Beast is done with the faithful (Rev.11:7; 13:15; 20:4) and then turns on the Harlot, apostate Jerusalem (Rev.17:1,6,16)...
[the unfaithful in Covenant with God (Hosea 1:2; 2:2; Rev.17:2)]
the door to escaping the "City", (Rev.17:18),
[which is responsible for the "deaths" of the faithful (Rev.11:8)]
is shut. (2Thess. 1:8,9)
This event is rushing toward us.
The demise of the corrupt Temple draws near 

(Eze.8:6,7,8,9,10,11,12; Mark 13:2; Dan.9:26; Luke 19:44; Matt.24:2; Luke 17:27,29,30,32,33,35; Luke 17:37NKJV; Jer.3:14-15NKJV)

Little Flock

ADDITION TO
https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2013/01/what-is-jew-what-is-gentile-answers-to.html
AS FOLLOWS:

The little flock is thought to be all anointed, while the "other sheep" are thought to be not anointed.

This is not correct. The little flock are the fleshly Jewish anointed, and the "other sheep" are the fleshly Gentile anointed.
When Jesus said I have other sheep and these too I must bring in (to be one flock -John 10:16), he said this because Jesus and the apostles only "invited" fleshly Jews to inherit the kingdom during his 3 1/2 year ministry (Matt.15:24; 10:6), out of a preference which resulted from the promises given to Abraham. When as a race, they rejected and slaughtered God's Son (Matt.21:38,39,40,41), the deficiency of the new anointed priesthood (1Pet. 2:9,10; Rev.5:10), was compensated for by fleshly Gentiles (Acts 13:46; 3:25,26; Rom.15:8; 1:16; Luke 24:47; Acts 11:9,12,15,17,18; 2:33; 10:45,46,47) to make up the lack of the "full number" (Rom.11:25; 9:18; Rev.14:1). It was not until later that Gentiles were also being brought in by holy spirit, which spirit was sent because Christ returned to the father and sent it (John 14:28,16; 16:7). This was how he fulfilled his words..."these also I must bring in".

These anointed (both fleshly Jew and fleshly Gentile) became one anointed flock. They were no longer separated by their flesh
(Eph.2:11-22 --(click on, to read);  Gal.3:26,27,28,29; Acts 10:34,35; Gal.6:15,16), but rather all together became spiritual Jews, the "Israel of God", God's new nation under a New Covenant (Heb.8:13) to become New Jerusalem.

The designation "little flock" no longer matters, because it has been almost two thousand years since that little Jewish flock was gathered together with the other sheep into one flock. There is no longer "Jew" or "Greek" (Gal.3:28), but rather, the temple of God, made of all nations (including Jews), tribes people and tongues (Rev.5:9,10) chosen to become the New Israel of God (Rev.7:4). One's flesh no longer matters, because it is through Faith, that the kingdom promises given to Abraham are inherited (Gal.3:29,28; Heb.6:12)
