The Bible is the final Word. You seem to take the book as a allegory where I take it as literal. Jesus took it literal when He quoted from it so I will go with His interpretation. Have a nice day!
The church dragged off into carnality has a common carnal doctrine on the interpretation of Revelation. All of the indoctrinated use the futurist carnal interpretation of Revelation to rule PSYOP the mind of carnal Christians.

Revelation 14:1 is not an allegory. The 144,000 are of the tribes of Israel and not some allegory referring to the church. After the first 5 chapters of Rev, everything turns Jewish in nature because the church is in heaven---the Rapture has taken place and God is about to pour out His wrath on the earth.
Revelation 14:1 is not an allegory.
Revelation 14:1 is prophecy of "things which must shortly come to pass" see Revelation 1:1.
The book of Revelation is the revealing of Jesus Christ and His kingdom to the individual soul, and the spiritual church in Christ.
Revelation 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass
Jesus Christ and his kingdom is revealed in the Spirit to each individual soul that overcomes Babylon. The concept of coming out of Babylon is supported in Paul's writings about the spiritual body of Christ.
Ephesians 2:1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: 3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
Babylon in the book of Revelation and "this world" in the book of Ephesians are the same thing. The spiritual reality of the Kingdom of Christ and the kingdom in Adam is the transition that the soul in Christ experiences.
The 144,000 are of the tribes of Israel and not some allegory referring to the church
al·le·go·ry /ˈaləˌɡôrē/ noun- a story, poem, or picture that can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning, typically a moral or political one.
The book of Revelation is written in symbols that reveal spiritual things.
Revelation 1:1 and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
Spiritual sign language is understood by the spiritual minded. "BEHOLD" is used 28 times in the book. Behold, means to understand the symbol being communicated. Here is every usage of "behold' in the book:
The 144,000 are of the tribes of Israel and not some allegory referring to the church.
The symbol of the 144,000, the symbol of the tribes, the symbol of Israel, are not conveying physical reality. The symbols are conveying spiritual reality to the spiritual church in Christ.
Israel is not first understood as a physical nation. Israel is first understood as a transformation from the carnal to the spiritual. Jacob(carnal) is renamed Israel(spiritual). God's Israel is not a physical nation. God's Israel is those that follow Him. So the 144,000 is indeed the church in Christ, the Israel of God.
Galatians 6:15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. 16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
The Israel of God is the church in Christ. see Ephesians 1:3
After the first 5 chapters of Rev, everything turns Jewish in nature because the church is in heaven---the Rapture has taken place and God is about to pour out His wrath on the earth.
The fifth chapter does not end the "things which must shortly come to pass" see Revelation 1:1. The sixth chapter, the opening of the seals comes to pass in every soul that receives the life and reign of Jesus Christ by faith. There is no physical Rapture of the church in the book of Revelation. You have believed a carnal interpretation of a spiritual book, so you can not benefit from the spuritual interpretation of the book. The purpose of the carnal PSYOP is to keep you in bondage to the flesh. The PSYOP only has carnal things in mind. The carnal PSYOP is the strength of the physical zionist, that draggs the church off into carnality.
"The fifth chapter does not end the "things which must shortly come to pass"
Did NOT say that. I do not know where you get your doctrine but it does not come from the Bible. The Bible was written to be understood for what it said-- I figure your religion is either Mormon or JW---either way both of those are false doctrine.
"There is no physical Rapture of the church in the book of Revelation"
Rev 4:1, God tells John "Come up Hither" and what does he see? John sees 24 Elders surrounding the throne of God that were "redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb----THAT is the church---Rev5: 9-10---they are Kings and Priests---only one group of people in the Bible are Kings and Priests. After Rev. 5, the seals are opened and God once again works with the nation Israel.
You keep throwing around the word "carnal" like you have some great insight. You are deceived and you own pride will not let you see it.
I am not going to "debate" scripture since scripture is pretty plain to me what it says so go your way and believe all that trash you want because it is not from the Bible.
Did NOT say that. I do not know where you get your doctrine but it does not come from the Bible.
All of my doctrine is from what the Holy Spirit has taught me through scripture. I've been a Bible reading Christian since the 1980s. I know your doctrine and I know the doctrine that the Holy Spirit teaches.
The Bible was written to be understood for what it said-- I figure your religion is either Mormon or JW---either way both of those are false doctrine.
I was raised Fundamentalist Baptist. I experienced dispensationalism taking over the church. Been their, done that. You don't have to belittle in order to win a doctrine debate. Paul encourages doctrine debate. We both learn as we explore what the Holy Spirit teaches.
1 Corinthians 11:19 For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.
Doctrine comes from the Bible,
2Ti_3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
I am not trying to debate doctrine.
2Jn_1:10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
I am not going to "debate" scripture since scripture is pretty plain to me what it says so go your way and believe all that trash you want because it is not from the Bible.
All of my doctrine is in the Bible, friend. It is time consuming to address your points. I will, if you like. You seem to not be able to listen. So doctrine has shut your ears to hear.
Here's some more Bible stuff on topic:
Galatians 6:12 As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ. 13 For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. 14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. 15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. 16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God. 17 From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus. 18 Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
The Israel of God has always been a spuritual people that followed God in the Spirit.
Romans 9:6 For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
The context of that isolated scripture teaches that Israel is a spiritual people. The kinsmen of Paul after the flesh are not all Israel.
Romans 9:8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God
Romans 9:30 That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith. 31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
Gentiles means the nations. All nations that walk in Christ are spiritual Israel. Nations are peoples. Each individual in Christ is the Israel of God in the Spirit. The church in Christ is the Israel of God in the Spirit.
I literally follow Jesus Christ in the Spirit. The Bible is a tool that communicates the spiritual reality of the Kingdom of heaven in Christ.
I like you friend, but my time is as valuable as yours. We are studying the same thing, and doctrine should not separate us. The sectarian church is ruled by its doctrines. The doctrines control the sectarian church.
"The sons of God follow the Spirit of God"
Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
The context is not following doctrine. The context is following the Holy Spirit.
The division on doctrine was started long ago. I like you friend. Don't fear talking over where the doctrines come from. I am a servant of Jesus Christ to edify the church in Christ. Doctrine is important. Heresy is a choosing of a particular doctrine, also known as sectarianism. Your sect dictates doctrine to you.
I follow Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit. My doctrine is what the Holy Spirit has taught me.
1 Corinthians 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
