Today’s Devotional – JUNE 19th

.

Who Are The 144,000?

.

Part 4

To read Part 1, click here…NOVEMBER 11 (Who Are The 144,000? Part 1)

.

“And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion,

and with Him an hundred forty and four thousand,

having His Father’s name written in their foreheads…

These are they which were not defiled with women;

for they are virgins.

These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever He goes.

These were redeemed from among men,

being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

And in their mouth was found no guile:

for they are without fault before the throne of God.

Revelation 14:1, 4, 5

.

It’s a real tragedy that Christians have allowed that great Master Deceiver to lock them out of the last 19 chapters of the Book of Revelation.

.

If only they could appreciate this above passage from Revelation 14, which speaks of the 144,000, who follow the Lamb of God whithersoever He goes!

.

As a matter of fact, by carefully studying the above description of the 144,000, it becomes evident that it is speaking of ALL true followers of Jesus!

.

MOUNT SION, AN HEAVENLY MOUNT

.

For instance, these 144,000 all stand on Mount Sion, as is written in Hebrews 12:22…

“But ye are come unto mount Sion,

and unto the city of the living God,

the heavenly Jerusalem,

and to an innumerable company of angels,”

.

So here it reveals that the Book of Hebrews was written for ALL true Believers, not just literal Jews!

.

**We are ALL “come unto Mount Sion”, as it plainly states here!**

.

A NEW SONG

.

And then Revelation 14 continues by saying, “And they sung as it were a new song before the throne,” Revelation 14:3

.

This, of course is spoken of in Psalm 40:3…

“And He (God) hath put a new song in my mouth,

even praise unto our God…”

.

So here again, this new song which the 144,000 will sing is also given to every true Believer.

.

Here is more proof that the 144,000 symbolize all true worshipers of God!

THE FIVE WISE VIRGINS

.

Next it says in this above passage from Revelation 14:4…“These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins.”

.

Now here is another very simple allegory concerning being defiled with women, symbolizing being defiled by apostate churches which Scripture often refers to as “women”…

“for I have espoused you to one husband,

that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.”

2nd Corinthians 11:2

.

“COME FOLLOW ME!”

.

Next, it says of this 144,000…“These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever He goes.” Revelation 14:4.

.

But this is merely reiterating what Jesus says to us all…

“And He says unto them,

Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.

And they straightway left their nets,

and followed Him.”

Matthew 4:19, 20

WHO ARE “THE FIRST-FRUITS?”

.

Next, this 144,000 passage from Revelation reveals that, “These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.” Revelation 14:4

.

Now, by going to the New Testament Book of James, it is revealed concerning “firstfruits”…“Of His own will begat He us with the Word of Truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.” James 1:18

.

**Okay, so being “a kind of firstfruits of His creatures” is referring to Believers…ALL Believers!**

.

.

ALL BELIEVERS ARE OF THE 12 TRIBES!

.

But notice who this little book of James is addressed to…“James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the TWELVE TRIBES which are scattered abroad, greeting.” James 1:1

.

**So now it is revealed that James refers to Believers as “The Twelve Tribes”.**

.

Well, here is a Bible truth which totally demolishes this false and non-biblical doctrine called, “Replacement Theology”.

.

No wonder that the Bible never uses this unbiblical term, “Replacement Theology!”

.

No wonder that Satan had to concoct this totally non-biblical name, “Replacement Theology”!

NO GUILE

.

“And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.” Revelation 14:5

.

And so, as this above verse reveals, this 144,000 have no guile in their mouth (guile = deception or dishonesty)

.

Listen…“Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputes not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.” Psalm 32:2 (see also 1st Peter 3:10)

.

**Yes, this kind of honesty (no guile) has been the standard for God’s people throughout time!**

REVELATION FOR THE CHURCH, NOT JUST JEWS!

.

And so, the Book of Revelation is proven once again to be for all God’s people, both Jews and Gentiles.

.

And that is why the Bible repeatedly refers to Christians in such terms as…

*”The Commonwealth of Israel”,

and “The Israel of God”*,

and as “A Jew…inwardly”*,

and “the seed of Abraham”*.

(see Ephesians 2:1, Galatians 6:16, Romans 2:28, 29, Romans chapter 9)

.

God is no respecter of persons. He loves all Believers from every race, kindred, tongue, tribe, nation, and people!

.

And this elite group of 144,000 is essentially the true nation of Israel, comprised of both Jews and gentiles.

.

And even though these 144,000 spoken of in Revelation may indeed be a special group at the end of days, nevertheless this elect group of 144,000 has always existed at any time and in every era throughout the past 2,000 years!

.

We know this because the description of this 144,000 in Revelation 14, is a description of Christians at any time in history!

THE END

.

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN

.

“Great is the LORD,

and greatly to be praised in the city of our God,

in the mountain of His holiness.

Beautiful for situation,

the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion,

on the sides of the north,

the city of the great King.”

.

Psalm 48:1, 2

LOCATING HEAVENLY MOUNT ZION

.

But if the Reader will go out in August and well into November, this wonderful constellation can be seen in the Northeast night-sky.

.

But don’t wait too long! Because once it enters the western sky, it flips upside down and can no longer be seen as a mountain.

.

**Now, this constellation is the very same constellation as the Mount of Blessing Constellation in the Valley of Decision Constellation Group.**

.

And it represents the favored mountain to which the people of God are to climb.
