Who is this "huge crowd" of Re19:1?


Does Not Revelation 19:1 Say There Are 'Much People in Heaven'?

This is an unfortunate translation in the King James and other Bible versions of the Greek phrase óchlou polloú. This combination can mean "much [or many] people," but it also has a variety of other English synonyms. Since the Bible elsewhere plainly tells us that the reward of the saved is this earth (see Matthew 5:5; Psalm 37:22; Romans 4:13; Revelation 5:10; etc.)—not heaven—it is evident that another rendering of this Greek phrase should have been chosen.

Many modern translations, for instance, the New King James, the New American Standard, English Standard, New International, and the Revised Standard versions renderóchlou polloú as "great multitude." The Revised English Bible translates it as "vast throng," the Moffatt translation renders it as "great host," the Amplified New Testament uses "great crowd," and the J.B. Phillips version has it as "vast crowd."

These translations best convey the meaning of the original Greek. Thus, the "people" of Revelation 19:1 are not humans, as we normally construe the word to mean. John is actually describing the "host, crowd, throng, or multitude" of heaven. This verse is speaking thousands or tens of thousands ofangels who sing praises to God before His throne in heaven (Revelation 5:11-12).

This is the LXX 2001 translation.
Chapter 19
1 Well after all that, I heard what sounded like the voices of a huge crowd proclaiming from the skies:
‘Praise Jah! [Yes, praise] the salvation, the glory, and the power of our God.

Well these  "Huge Crowd" is not the same  "beings" like Re 7:9. These are the angels. Some translations used the word "people" here which is wrong!

These are the celestial beings who are proclaiming  like the other beings like 24 elders and cherubs.

The Letter to Baron Rothschild from Russell

Jerusalem, August 18th, 1891. To the Honorable BARON HIRSCH. RESPECTED SIR: – I, a Christian, but a lover of the seed of Jacob, especially because of the promises of God yet remaining to them and the Holy Land, address you upon a subject which I know lies close to your heart. That you may know of my interest in your people, I will cause to be sent to you a copy of each of two volumes of my own writings, in which the promises of God to your nation are cited and commented upon. At present, accompanied by my wife, I am in Palestine, taking a hasty view of the land of promise and its people, and considering the prospects of the soon fulfilment of the predictions of the prophets. As you will see from my books, we find the testimony of the prophets to be, that your nation will be greatly blessed and returned to divine favor between now and the year 1915, A.D. The present persecutions in Russia we believe to be a mark of divine favor rather than the reverse. The Lord declares that ...

Mateo 28:19 es falso?

MATEO 28:19 FALSO...? ""LEA ESTE DOCUMENTO COMPLETO Y SAQUE SUS CONCLUCIONES"" Una simple reflexión a causa de…  QUÉ ES CONNOTADA LA ESTAFA POR LA ADULTERACIÓN DEL VERSO DE MATEO 28:19 Mateo 28:19 Por tanto, id, y haced discípulos a todas las naciones, bautizándolos en nombre del Padre, y del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo. Comentario:  Este es el verso más importante para los “Trinitarios” como para sostener su falsa “doctrina trinitaria” y el falso nombre en el cual deben de ser “Bautizadas” las personas y es muy evidente la importancia el demostrar que se trata de una “descarada estafa” la adulteración del verso por parte de la “Iglesia católica romana”. CODEX SINAITICUS 300 d.c. En este “Codex” debería aparecer la palabra G4151 πνεῦμα – pneúma de G4154; corriente de aire, i.e. respiración (soplo) o brisa; por analogía o figurativamente un espíritu, i.e. (humano) el alma racional, (por implicación) principio vital, mentalmente disposición, etc., o (...
