This rearrangement was chartered because of a population explosion in David's reign.<br /><br />Again, be at peace. We live every day as if the Lords return was five minutes after lunch. There will be (I believe) some very surprised people one day hopefully soon.<br /><br />ChristopherChristopher Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17952735959708616739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-213971980880017850.post-63853382612801772152009-09-01T21:10:43.971-07:002009-09-01T21:10:43.971-07:00Very interesting. I only have one quibble...(I'...Very interesting. I only have one quibble...(I'm really NOT trying to be difficult!!! REALLY!) In point 7 you talk about the 24 elders and it appears you're saying those elders with their crowns are believers raptured to heaven?! I'll have to find my references (and it may take me a day or two....we're a little busy rearranging the school room so we can start school next week)but I believe the 24 elders are the 12 sons of Jacob (the 12 tribes of Israel) and the 12 apostles. So I'd say point 7 is not helpful to your explanation. But the rest is good food for research and thought. I like the way you presented your ideas. OK, back to researching and stewing on these wonderful propositions. Shalom, SpitfireSpitfirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10451851492732765143noreply@blogger.com
