FINISHEDI. The place of the 144,000

(Rev 14:1) 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.

NOTES

When we study Mt. Sion or Mt. Zion , we must remember that here on earth is a Mt. Zion that is a model of the Heavenly Mt. Zion.

This should not be a big stretch to believe seeing that we also call these Mountains by the same name (Jerusalem)

(Heb 12:18-22) For ye are not come unto the mount that might be

touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and

tempest, And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should

not be spoken to them any more: (For they could not endure that which was

commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart: And so terrible

was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:) 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,

(Psa 48:2) Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city

of the great King.

(Isa 14:13) For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my

throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the

sides of the north:

NOTES

When John is seeing these 144,000 in chapter 14, they have finished their course and are gathered around the throne.

THE

144,000

FINISHEDII. The praise of the

144,000

(Rev 14:2-3) And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder:

and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: And they

sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could

learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were

redeemed from the earth.

NOTES

This is describing a scene of worship around the throne of God.

A. It will be praise of many

(Rev 14:2-3) And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many

waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of

harpers harping with their harps: And they sung as it were a new song

before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man

could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which

were redeemed from the earth.

(Num 24:7) He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters, and his king shall be

higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.

(Rev 17:1) And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials,

and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that

sitteth upon many waters:

(Rev 19:6) And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the

voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for

the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.

Rev.7:9-15

(Rev 14:2-3) And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder:

and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: And they sung as it were a new song before the

throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could

learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were

redeemed from the earth.

(Rev 5:8) And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden

vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.

(Rev 5:9) And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book,

and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God

by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

(Rev 5:10) And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign

on the earth.

Chapter 8:1-5

(Rev 14:2-3) And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder:

and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: And they

sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no

man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four

thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.

THE

144,000

FINISHEDIII. The people of the

144,000

(Rev 14:3-5) And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no

man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the

earth. These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. 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.

NOTES

There are many that want to apply these people to the angels. But John is very clear that these have been redeemed of men

(1Pe 1:12) Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto

themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire

to look into.

(Rev 14:4) These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins.

These are they which follow the Lamb

whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from

among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to

the Lamb.
