I've pondered what that's meant in the past. Does it mean all the Jews that have ever lived or the ones that are living now? Is that literally all that will be saved, or does it have a deeper meaning?

Are they mostly scattered all over the world?

I think the answer to that question is yes, but as far as I know Israel and the US have the highest Jewish populations in the world.

#60 Yeah, the whole book of Revelation confuses and fascinates me. I don't understand people who say that they've "got the end times figured out," and they know "when the apocalypse is coming."

An interesting question, but it can't mean all the Jews for all time--there have been way more saved Jews than that in history. But Revelation is a strange book--I probably would never be dogmatic about a particular interpretation of it. It is also worth noting that the 144,000 is 12,000 each from 12 different tribes. "Jew" (Judah) is just one of them, and no one really knows where all the other tribes are today (except God).

We should be careful here. We're swerving into a religious discussion on the public forums. I'm gonna stop now.

Avatar of sciencefreako

 It's too easy to start talking about religion when you meet others who like talking about the same thing. How do you make this a private forum?

Avatar of sciencefreako

If you were part of the CHT, we could probably come up with some interesting conversations.

Avatar of sciencefreako

Nevermind, I just read your message. Well, if I can somehow make this a private forum, I don't think we'd have to worry about it.

Avatar of sciencefreako

I know what you mean. But unfortunately, there's not. Maybe in the next version. happy.png

Avatar of sciencefreako

Yeah. XD I probably would've been on the V2 side if I hadn't been stuck with V3 for a month. tongue.png

Avatar of sciencefreako

That's about how it turned out with me. grin.png They did a good job straightening out the bugs on V3

Avatar of sciencefreako

Like what we were just discussing. I can't really pinpoint a certain thing that we'd talk about because the conversations can get pretty crazy. happy.png

Oh, look, another of those trolls. Chances are, this forum's probably going to get deleted. Probably should also stop talking about religion. And now I'm super curious as to what Mr. Shepherd said.

Formality increases with curiosity now?

Avatar of Axonn

This avi is really undermining my characteristic bearing.

Avatar of sciencefreako

Formality, I guess. Maybe I'm just in a formal mood. Then why doth thou still haveth the undermining avi?

Avatar of sciencefreako

Oh, yes. We range from back alley slang to old english. grin.png

Avatar of sciencefreako

It's really fun to do it when you're in the mood. grin.png
