No. You have ignored what I have said and that there are two separate ‘subjects’ in the verses 2-4.
My post clearly places verse 3 as part of the ‘what was spoken (ie. cried)’ being “and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, Saying, ‘Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads’”.
Once John had finished hearing all this, he then reported that “the seal of the living God” was told to him. Being “I heard the number of the sealed, 144,000”.
So no, what I said does not support your interpretation of the verse.
Lets start with the verses as they actually are in the KJV:
Revelation
7:2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
7:3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
7:4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
7:5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.
7:6 - 7:8 reference the other tribes.
Nowhere in those verses of the KJV does John report that the seal of the living god was told to him though he does say he saw an angel with the seal of the living god. Neither does he say "I heard the number of the sealed, 144,000" . If you look at 7:4 above John says "the number of them which were sealed". Them is plural meaning more than one. When you look at the flow of the beginning of chapter 7 we have what is going to happen to the Earth, That it should not happen until the servants are sealed, that the number of them is 144,000 and that the total is divided equally among the 12 tribes of Israel. If you read it in it's entirety you can see that yes it does support what I have said which is not my interpretation but simple reading and comprehension of what was written.

No. The 144,000 was verbally told to John as the number 144,000 as a separate statement.
The 12 lots of 12:00:00 were a visual thing seen by John, and relates back to the Old Testament religiously perceived use of seeing it back then, but where the tithe comes into play is were ‘key words’ are included.
In the PGW context ‘troops’ or ‘sword’ could be the keyword, and also ‘tribes’ as stated by John.
So the inclusion of the word ‘tribes’ sets this as a 10 percent situation.
The 144,000 may be in a separate verse (7:4) but the use of the word and at the beginning of that verse indicates it is a continuation of 7:3 and ties "them which were sealed" into the the reference to servants. John is told the number of them which were sealed being 144,000 of all the tribes of the children of israel yet nowhere does he indicate that he is told or saw that it was 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes. Based on that, the most logical conclusion is that he evenly divided the 144,000 between the different tribes.

As I have said before, the Ancients cd-rom is not about Hebrew nor Christian Religion, neither does it contain any Hebrew nor Christian pictures.
and as I have said, it's not about the text or the cd-rom but your purposeful application of the sounds associated with modern Hebrew to ancient Hebrew text. It is incorrect and invalidates that part of your theory. Let me reiterate, It is not about the text ot the cd-rom but your actions of incorrectly applying the sounds of modern Hebrew to ancient Hebrew text.

Unless they were describing something new to them but in terms they knew. Then it would be perfectly logical to describe a rotating round disk as a ‘rolling’, being like a rolling small wheel.
Yet it has been pointed out to you previously, the cd would not spin until it was in the closed cd drive and they would never have seen it spin and would not describe it as rolling.

Yes, exactly what an Egyptian did (about 640 and 1300 years before Ezekiel and John).
The scribe Ani has depicted what two time travellers showed him and has also described its contents.
He has drawn the form of a compact disk, used the ‘straight line’ underneath it to show it is a real object, named it as the RA-Disk (with the vocalization of ‘ra’ matching the sound of the makers of the Ancients cd-rom, being sca-LA, and shown its owner as a sitting man in white.

Tell me Ed, how many years have you trained and worked at translating hieroglyphics? I'm willing to bet none, yet you feel your translations are coreect and those who have done the work are wrong. The puts you squarely in the realm of fringe writers who have come up wuith their own translations which were incorrect but who peddled them as correct to try to support their theory.

No. You have already been told this is not the case back in a reply to your post #4594694.
I know this part is out of order but I am using it to tie it all together.
Yes I knwo you have told me that I am wrong that the cd was not created based on history but that history came about because of the cd's and time travelers.
- In your posts you have changed the KJV text, dismissed sentence structure and ignored syntax.
- You have made unsupported statements about what John supposedly saw.
- You have not only failed to acknowledge your incorrect application of modern Hebrew sounds to ancient Hebrew script but have continued to act as though it has something to do with the text or the cd's when it is your doing.
- You have made bad assumptions such as the ancients seeing the cd rom spin when that would have been physically impossible.
- You have used your own incorrect personal translations of hieroglyphics over the translations of those who have trained and studied for years.
In essence, Ed, all that you have posted and shown, has not supported your theory but undermined it. It has been undermined to the point where it no longer sits on the ground but is in a hole. The more you try to validate your theory using bad assumptions, unsupported statements, misuse of alphabet sounds and incorrect translations, the more you undermine your theory and the deeper the hole you dig.
