Is this considered a resurrection in Revelation 14:1-3, of the 144,000?
The creatures mentioned in Ezekiel's vision, first chapter of Ezekiel, later four living creatures in Revelation 7:11, without mention of the faces. Are these the same creatures and do they represent the four gospels?
My pastor teaches and preaches that after the tribulation those that heard and did not believe the gospel will still have a chance to be saved. Is this what some refer to as second chance salvation?
I understand the Bible says that God requires a blood sacrifice (Hebrews 9:22). I have heard preachers say that if Jesus had not shed any blood, then his death would not have been a valid sacrifice. Why does God require a blood sacrifice? I know the life of the flesh is in the blood (you can not live without blood), but you can die without bleeding. What is the significance of the blood sacrifice?
