LET'S GET IT STRAGHT
We all agree that during the OT time, under YHWH, many souls were saved, and millions, or billions of others were destroyed during the big flood. Also, I believe that the majority of the 144,000 saved described in Revelation 14:3 occurred during the OT period. Am I sure? Yes, I am very sure! And here is my explanation.
Jesus said, "If you love Me, keep My commandments.” John 14:15. Do Christians keep His commandments? No. Do preachers and pastors teach their members and church visitors to keep God’s commandments? NO, they do not! They teach people to abolish God’s commandments and forget about them. Do you think Jesus will include those who don’t keep His commandments, and those who don’t love Him, among the 144,000? No, He will not!
Brothers and Sisters. I want to ask you this question. When Jesus returns, who will Jesus save? Will He save the law-abiding Jews who believe in Yahweh and keep His commandments, or will He save the Christians who believe in Jesus but refused to keep His commandments?
Jesus said, "Not everyone who says to Me, `Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. "Many will say to Me on that day, `Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' "And then I will declare to them, `I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'” Matthew 7:21-23. Do readers understand what Jesus is saying here to these men/women of great faith? No one is saved until he/she is saved. No one is saved until Jesus returns. When Jesus returns, He will decide who goes to heaven, and who will be thrown into eternal fire! Who will go to heaven, and who will go to hell. Those men and women of great faith described in Matthew 7:21-23 have always believed that they will surely go to heaven because they can say, `Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' They may have done many good works, but Jesus rejects them because they are doing none of God's will. We may be doing a lot of work too. But are we doing the will of God? If not, forget about going to heaven. Do we know what the will of God is? If we are not sure, read John 14:15,21-24.
Read again John 14:15,21,22,23,24. The prophets during the OT time speak about the commandments of God when they meet on the Sabbaths. They taught the people to love the Torah. I believe that there will be many Torah believers than Christian believers in heaven. In fact, I don’t believe that many of today's Christians will take part in any celebration in heaven when Jesus returns. Why? Because they do not love Jesus, and they do not keep His commandments. They only love Paul, aka Saul. Do you think Jesus was kidding when He said, "If you love Me, keep My commandments.” John 14:15? Do you think this Man who says, "If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast [it] from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast [it] from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell,” was kidding? Matthew 5:29-30. Jesus is not our mother, understand? He drowned billions of people during Noah’s time with no regret. His only regret was creating human beings.

So, what did the Jews of the OT do? They believe and worship YHWH. They keep His commandments. They love YHWH. They love Jesus too. But they were too slow to understand or see that YAHWEH=JESUS, the God whom Abraham and all their prophets have worshipped. They did exactly what Jesus said. John 14:15. The Jews who killed Jesus were the bad Jews. They were the Sanhedrin, an elite council of priestly and lay elders who felt deeply threatened by His messages. But there are millions of other Jews who are good Jews who have nothing to do with the crucifixion of Jesus. They believe in YHWH, and they keep His commandments. These Jews, I believe, made up the majority of the 144,000 people that were saved. They love YAHWEH (JESUS), and they keep His commandments. God bless them.
