144,000


And I heard the number of the sealed, 144,000, sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel:


5  12,000 from the tribe of Judah were sealed,


12,000 from the tribe of Reuben, 


12,000 from the tribe of Gad,


6  12,000 from the tribe of Asher,


12,000 from the tribe of Naphtali,


12,000 from the tribe of Manasseh,


7  12,000 from the tribe of Simeon,


12,000 from the tribe of Levi,


12,000 from the tribe of Issachar,


8  12,000 from the tribe of Zebulun,


12,000 from the tribe of Joseph,


12,000 from the tribe of Benjamin


Who are they, what or who do they represent?


1. God 
2. God’s names
3. The whole of the created order
4. The 12 tribes of Israel 
5. The nations of the Earth
6. The Heavenly Nations
7. The nations below the Earth
8. The 12 Elders 
9. The Angelic nations & orders

Note: Dan is not among them & is conspicuous by his absence because of his idolatry (very like the 1/3 of the angels who fell from heaven, yet he is represented by the other tribes & is likely with them, very like the way angels are present with us on Earth. 

  1. The Prophets 
  2. The Apostles
  3. The Kings 


Dan is conspicuous by his absence, most likely due to his idolatry.   In that regard he is like the fallen angeks who were cast out of heaven.   Yet he is believed to be among the 144,000 which corresponds to the presence of angels on the Earth. 


He also represents the Reprobate in any given age.   Only one tribe is openly refused admission to the roster, corresponding to the one man cast into Outer Darkness in Matthew 22.

Favorite Fallacies & Homosexuality

Thesis - The tradition bound view on homosexuality commits a number of logical, epistemic, & exegetical fallacies.  1-  Is - Ought Fallacy  - Human anatomy is said to provide    a blueprint for sexual ethics.  We examined this in my previous article.  A moral “ought” is derived from a physical “is.”  The disputant makes an illicit leap from what is to what ought to be. A classic example is the way some homosexuals defend their sexual ethics by appealing to their biology/genetics.  2 -  Vicious Circularity   - Human anatomy & physiology are raised to the status due a non-arbitrary epistemic warrant.    A non-arbitrary epistemic warrant must be necessary, reasoned, & principled.  In truth, the body is unnecessary to deduce sexual ethics. By way of contrast, God’s nature is definitionally necessary, insofar as God is a necessary being, &, since God is infinite, eternal, & unchangeable in being, w...

Romans 1:18 - 32 & Leviticus 18

Paul is following the basic outline of a suzerain covenant in general     & the outline of Lev. 18 in particular.   Shema & Decalogue (Rom. 1:18 - 20)   God’s Image testifies to His attributes & Law.    God created people. His temple bears His Image & runs according to his Law & Gospel.    This corresponds to Lev. 18 : 1 & 2. A - Rom.    1:18 - 19.  God’s wrath falls on those who suppress His image.   B - Rom 1:20  - For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made so that people are without excuse.  What is the teleological intent of the created order?    To serve as an epistemic warrant on par with God Himself? No!  It’s purpose is to serve as a pointer to God who is Himself the only sufficient epistemic warrant for all faith & practice.  ...
