FOOTNOTES - Every Saint in the Bride? ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
1. Our "gathering together" - a complete collection; especially a Christian meeting (for worship): KJV - assembling (gathering) together. Strong's Con. NT # 1997 2. Saints - OT:2623 from OT:2616; properly, kind, i.e. (religiously) pious (a saint): KJV - godly (man), good, holy (one), merciful, saint, [ungodly.
9. Where - This is explained by the Rev.12 Woman. (Review: Phase 10 and 12) It is some time before the Tribulation 10. When - This is during the 7th. Seal 11. Rev.12-22 further explain the events of chapters 4-11. The reason for this conclusion is because Rev.12:1-17; 13:1-18; 14:11; 15:2; 16:1-15; 17:1-18; 18:1-24; 19:20--21; 20:1-15 are all associated with the beast / anti- christ who ONLY has 3½ years to continue. (Rev.13:5) Therefore all events must happen during this same 3½ year period of time. (Note: How the Rev.12 Woman is protected during this 3½ period of time) 12. No more sacrifice - This is why there will be NO animal "daily sacrifice" (Dan.8:11-13, 31; 12:11) during the time of the man of sin (Tribulation "so-called") because Jesus caused the sacrifice and oblation to cease. (Dan.9:27) 13. Ensample - Strong's Concordance NT # 5179 / týpos, too'-pos; from G5180; a die (as struck), i.e. (by implication) a stamp or scar; by analogy, a shape, i.e. a statue, (figuratively) style or resemblance; specially, a sampler ("type"), i.e. a model (for imitation) or instance (for warning):—en-(ex-)ample, fashion, figure, form, manner, pattern, print.
14. When the apostle was writing - He was writing under the inspiration of the Spirit of God (2Tim.3:16-17) and he was taught by Jesus. (Gal.1:11-12) This makes his doctrine the doctrine of Christ 15. Repliest - Strong's Concordance #470 NT / from G473 and G611; to contradict or dispute:—answer again, reply against.
16. Due - Strong's Concordance #1626 NT / from a comparative of G1537 and (to wound); a miscarriage (abortion), i.e. (by analogy) untimely birth:—born out of due time. Note: Paul's statement. (1Cor.15:1-8) 17. Biblical pattern of being espoused - Mary and Joseph. (Matt.1:18-25) Strong's Concordance NT # 718 / Espoused: "to woo and win, to espouse or promise in marriage," is used in the Passive Voice in Mat 1:18; Luk 1:27; 2:5, all with reference to the Virgin Mary, RV, "betrothed," for AV, "espoused," in each case. Joseph had to authority before the Lord to put Mary away (Deut.24:1-4) because according to the pattern, from the time of betrothal the woman was regarded as the lawful wife of the man to whom she was betrothed (Deut. 28:30; Jdg 14:2,8; Matt.1:18-21). Jesus (who fulfills "the righteousness of this Law Matt.5:17-19, Rom.8:1-4) has authority over us today, (Eph.5:21-33) even though the marriage has not happened yet.
18. Man child - This is the fruit of the Marriage. (Review: Phase 12, Page 2) 19. This calculation is concluded because a thousands year = 24 hrs, 500 yrs = 6 hours, 250 yrs =3 hours, 125 yrs = 60+hrs, 60+ yrs = 30 yrs, 30+ yrs = 15 yrs, 15 yrs = 7+ hrs, 7+yrs = 3+ yrs, 3+ yrs = 1+ hrs. etc. This is speculation and opinion. One thing is for sure, we MUST see time as God sees it. NOTE: 2 Peter.3:1-9
20. The Epistles (Corinthians, Galatians', Ephesians', Philipians, etc. were written to the Body of Christ, not just them. (2Tim.3:16-17, 2John.5:13, Rom.15:4
21. Perfect - Strong's Con. NT#5046 τέλειος téleios, tel'-i-os; from G5056; complete (in various applications of labor, growth, mental and moral character, etc.); neuter (as noun, with G3588) completeness:—of full age, man, perfect. Eph.4:13-16

24. Mark - Strong's Con. # 4649 σκοπός skopós, skop-os'; from σκέπτομαι sképtomai (to peer about ("skeptic"); perhaps akin to G4626 through the idea of concealment; compare G4629); a watch (sentry or scout), i.e. (by implication) a goal:—mark. Phil.3:15 25.

26. The Mystery of God - is the wisdom of God (1Cor.2:6-7 / Gal.1:11-12) which is to be made manifest by the Church according to His eternal purpose. (Eph.3:1-12; 5:21-33, Rom.16:25-26, Rev.10:7; 11:15 / Acts.3:19-24) The day of atonement is part of that mystery because it is part of the Feast of Tabernacles which is a shadow of things to come (Col.2:16-17) which is the third and final Feast that the church in the wilderness kept. (Deut.16:16-17, Lev.23, Acts.7:37-38, 1Cor.10:1-11, Rom.15:4) The other two Feasts are Passover and Pentecost. 27.

29. Dominion - Strong's Con. OT# / to tread down, i.e. subjugate; specifically, to crumble off:—(come to, make to) have dominion, prevail against, reign, (bear, make to) rule,(-r, over), take.
30. Sketchy - Strong's #5179 / A "shade" or a shadow. A adumbration - to give a sketchy outline. "Ensamples"- (1Cor.10:11) It is a die (as struck) i.e. by imply. a stamp or scar; by analogy a shape, i.e. a statue, (fig) style or resemblance especially a sample ("type") i.e. a model (for imitation or instance (for warning) Strong's Con NT #5179
32. Prize - This is the same Greek Word as (1 Cor.9:27) Strong's NT#1017 / an award (of arbitration), i.e. (specially) a prize in the public games:—prize. Paul is saying "race" "striving for the mastery" "not as uncertainly" "don't be a castaway" "reaching forth unto those things (perfection v.12 / Heb.6:1-3, Eph.4:11- 16) which are before".
33. Letter - Strong;s NT#1992 / from G1989; a written message:—"epistle," letter. This corruption (that began in the Garden of Eden Gen.3:1) is still Prevalent in Bible translation today.
34. Paul writes - He said "I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ."(Gal.1:11-12, Note: John.16:12-15, 2Tim.3:16-17) 35. The antichrist - The son of perdition (2Thes.2:3) The beast (Rev.11:7; 17:8,11) John give him the name "antichrist" (1 John.2:18-9) Lawless (2Thes.2:8)
36. The Thessalonians knew - Key words "when I was with you". (Acts.17:1-11) The first epistle / Letter was written to them from "Corinth between 49 and 54 AD". The second letter / epistle was "written shortly after". (Frank Charles Thompson, D.D, PHD.D. / Thompson chain Bible / Analyses of Books)
37. Old Testament (dead) people of God - Some think this is another resurrection for the Old Testament saints that is separate from the New Testament saints. This is incorrect and here is why. Daniel was told (a) "At that time" (the time of the end v.4 / The New Covenant) shall Michael (the archangel 1Thes.4:13) stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy (Daniel's) people: (which are the Jews / the House of Judah (Dan.1:6) "And many of them (Daniel's people) that sleep in the dust of the earth (i.e. dead) shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. (Dan.12:1-2, Note: John.5:29, Acts.24:14) Then Daniel was told to shut up the book until the time of the end. (Dan.12:1-4) The only way "Daniel's people" (The House of Judah / Jews) can be made "just" is through the blood of Jesus. (Eph.2:11-19, Gal.3:29) The Law could never take away sin. Heb.10:4, There is no other sacrifice for sin. (Heb.10:26-29) This is the only way some will rise to "everlasting life"
40. Mystery of God - This "mystery of God" is revealed in Paul's letters (Epistles Eph.3:5) Peter and Paul says this "mystery" (spoke by the Prophets Rom.16:25-26) must be completed before Jesus can return. (Acts.3:19- 24, Rev,10:7; 11:15, Rev.19:7-8, Eph.16:25-26) the a. The mystery of God is also a complete / finished / perfected holy temple of God. (Eph.2:21-22) b. The mystery of God is also"the unity of the faith...a perfect man c. The mystery of God is also a glorious church without spot, wrinkle, blemish, holy (Eph.5:21-32)
41. Adam did not know - We cannot understand God's purpose unless He (The Spirit of God) teaches us (John.16:10-12, 1Cor.2:1-14) "because they are spiritually discerned." It was was not God's time to reveal His complete purpose. All Adam and Eve knew was that God would "put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel." (Gen.3:15-16) Note: In the New Covenant Paul God gave revelation (Gal.1:11-12, Rom.16:20) to the apostle Paul concerning this mystery. 42. One resurrection for the just - (See PHASE 10) This is "the first resurrection" (Rev.20:4-6) that includes the complete collection (See footnote #1) of the dead Old Testament saints (Eph.4:1-12 / See footnote #37) and the dead New Testament saints from the 1st Cent until the time of the end when they would "not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years...This is the first resurrection.
The context is the time of the antichtist which Jesus destroys the the brightness of His Coming. (parouisa 2Thes.2:8)Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: But the rest of the dead (the unjust, unredeemed unsaved) lived not again until the thousand years were finished. (See PHASE 10)
Why is it called "first" when there had been many resurrections, including THE resurrection of The Lord Jesus Christ. Because it is first of two resurrections, one before the 1000 year rest, and one after the thousand year rest. (Rev.20:1-9) 43. Just - Justified (Acts.13:38-40) 44. Unjust -Strong's NT#94 - from G1 (as a negative particle) and G1349; unjust; by extension wicked; by implication, treacherous; specially, heathen:—unjust, unrighteous. The "unjust" are those that are "without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world." (Eph.2:11)
45. Help meet - Strong's OT#5828 from H5826; aid:—help.
46. Formed - Strong's Con. NT#4111 / to mould, i.e. shape or fabricate:—form. "For Adam was first formed, then Eve. (1Tim.2:12-14)
47. Repliest - Strong's Con NT#470 / from G473 and G611; to contradict or dispute:—answer again, reply against.
48. Reformation - Until Christ comes because Jesus ALONE fulfills / completes (Matt.5:17-19, Rom.3:21-31; 8:1-4) both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, (Heb.10:1-4) as pertaining to the conscience; (i.e. Born again) Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation. (The time that Christ comes) Strong’s Definition for "reformation" [?] Dic(Strong’s NT#1357 Definitions Legend...from a compound of G1223 and a derivative of G3717, meaning to straighten thoroughly; rectification, i.e. (specially) the Messianic restauration:—reformation.
49. Winked - Strong's Con. NT#5237 from G5228 and G1492; to overlook, i.e. not punish:—wink at. Think on this is. Noah and Abraham could be "just" and "perfect in their generations" (Gen.6:9) because the Law was yet given. Not accountable. (Rom.7:7) After the Cross Paul writes about the dispensation of the grace of God (Mystery of God / New Testament) "in other ages (Old Covenant generations)#54 was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now (New Testament) revealed (Gal.1:11-12, Matt.13: 10-17, I Peter.1:10-12) unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit. (Eph.3:5) Note: God's Redemptive Plan
50. Imputed - Strong's Con. NT#1677 / from G1722 and G3056 (in the sense of account); to reckon in, i.e. attribute:—impute, put on account.
51. Similitude - Strong's Con. NT#from G3666; a form; abstractly, resemblance:—made like to, likeness, shape, similitude. 52. Not punished - Note: All those from Adam to Moses "that have sinned without law shall also perish without the Law..." God is not excusing their sin, "for all have sinned" (Rom.3:23) They are not accountable for what they do not know. "(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified) All those from Adam to Moses "having not the law...shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;) In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel." (Rom.2:12-16, Rom.1:20, Psalm.19:1-3 / Note: Eph.4:8-10) God is not ignoring their sin. 53. Those the dead from Adam to Moses - Luke.16:19-31 It is a safe conclusion to say that they were all "gathered" where Abraham was.
54. Ages - Strong's Con.#1047 - from (a presumed derivative of) G1085; a generation; by implication, an age (the period or the persons):—age, generation, nation, time.
55. Omitting - Comparing what God's Word said, Gen.2:16-17 with what the serpent said Gen.3:1. In our present day the the serpent is still using this trick (wiles Eph.6:12) concerning God's written Word.
a. God's Word (1) But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: (2) For in the day that thou eatest thereof thou (you) shalt surely die" are left out. (3) Doubt / question towards God's Word
b. The serpents quote was (1) Yea, hath God said, Ye (you) shall not shall not eat of every tree of the garden?"
(2) God's Word said, "Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof (you) thou shalt surely die." (Gen.2:16-17)
c. Eves response was (1) When Eve responded back to the serpent, agreeing with what God said. (2) BUT she added "neither shall ye (you) touch it." (3) The doubt was taking it's toll
56. Questioning - English Dict. / a doubt about the truth or validity of something. A doubt, dispute, argument, debate, uncertainty, dubiousness, reservation. ANTONYMS certainty. 57.
