    Revelation 7:1to10 ... And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of  the living God: ...saying, hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servents of our God in their foreheads. And I heard the number of  them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred forty and four thousand of  all tribes of the children of  Israel. ... and lo, a great multitude, which no man could  number of  all nations, ...          (Rev.9:4)

 

What is the seal of the living God?

   Jeremiah 31:31to34; Isaiah 8:16,20 Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.  (Psalm 19:7; James 1:25; 2:8to12; Exodus 20:3to17  The perfect royal law of  love, and liberty, the ten commandments)   

Romans  3:31; 7:12; 13:9,10

 

How and by what power are they/we sealed?

   Ephesians 1:12,13; 2:8,9,10; 4:28to32  Christ ... ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of  truth, the gospel of  your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of  promise, ...  For by grace are ye saved through faith; ... And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of  redemption.

 

Why in the foreheads?

   Deuteronomy 5:10,22; 6:4to8 ... Thou shalt love the Lord thy God  with all thine heart, ...soul ... might. ... And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. (=forehead, front of  your mind)

    ( Note: Keep the things of God in the front of  your heart as a sign/seal (Rom.4:11)of  Jehovah's character of  love in you.)              (Exodus 31:18; Luke 11:20;=Matthew 12:28 Finger/Spirit of  God)      Proverbs 3:1,3 My son, forget not my law; But let thine heart keep my commandments: ... write them upon the table of thine heart. 2 Corinthians 3:3 ... but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.  Romans 1:16,17 ... the gospel of Christ:  for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; ... The just shall live by faith. (Jeremiah 31:31to34; Hebrews 8:7to12;Deut. 9:10to17;10:1to5)(Proverbs 15:13to15,28,30; 16:1,5,9,23; 17:3,22   Is the heart more than the actions, feelings, and the loving part of  the mind? )

   Note: the difference between Revelation 7:4to8; and Genesis 49:1to28 in the names. Not all the names of the twelve tribes are the same.  Manasses was Joseph's son by a Egyptian woman. Jesus came through the tribe of  Juda, but Rahab(Canaanite) and Ruth(Moabite), were his great grandmothers. Luke 3:32,33   Laban the Syrian  Genesis 31:20                                      There were others that joined the Israelites, to serve God, and to love the name of  the Lord, Isaiah 56:1to8 ... for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people. 

 

Why was the name of  "Israel" given to Jacob a Hebrew?

   Genesis 32:27,28; 35:2,4,5,9to10 ... for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. Romans 2:28,29 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh. But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.   (Jesus, Luke 2:52)

 

Why did Jesus tell Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews that he had to be born again?

   Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he CANNOT ENTER into the

kingdom of  God. Romans 9:4to8 ... for they are not all Israel, which are of  Israel.   Revelation 21:10to13; 22:11to17 ... the holy Jerusalem, descending out of  heaven from God. ... twelve gates, and ... names written thereon, ... of the twelve tribes of the children of  Israel.  Blessed are they that do his commandments,(Luke 23:56) that they may  have right to the tree of  life, and may ENTER in through the gates into the city.

 Note: a physical Israelite/Jew may have advantage when he/you believe in the Messiah/Christ,  and are born again. (Rom.3:1to3;John 1:29,41)               (Dan.9:23to27;Isaiah 53:5to8  Messiah, he was cut off, but not for himself: but for us all/you.)

 

How can I receive the spiritual name "Israel" and join the family of  Jesus?

   Ephesians 1:3,4,5; 2:7to13; Galations 3:7,8,16,29; 6:15,16 Blessed be God ... who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.  Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, ... Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, ... That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel ...having no hope, But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.  ...they which are of faith, the same are the children of  Abraham. And if  ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.    John 3:5,16; Romans 11:26,27 ... all Israel shall be saved: ... (no one is born saved)

 

Who are the great multitude, which no man could number?

   Hosea 1:10; Revelation 7:9 Yet the number of the children of  Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.  1 John 3:1to12 Behold, what manner of  love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God:  (Note: There are only two groups of people in this world. The saved, sons/daughters of the living God.      The unsaved, sons/daughters of men, the devil's.                                               

     John 8:30to58;       Genesis 4:25,26; 6:1to4; 26:4,5)

 

Is there a sign/seal of  the true Israel of God, that is the sign/seal of their sanctification through Jesus' body and blood by faith? 

 That the hundred forty and four thousand must have before Jesus returns.

  Exodus 31:17; Hebrews 4:1to11; 10:10,25,29; Revelation 14:1,6,7to12,14;

Ezekiel 20:12,20; 22:24to31 Yes,  a perpetual covenant, for ever, but most have hid their eyes from the seventh day sabbath. (Isaiah 51:6,7; 66:22,23)

 

Whose name will the hundred forty and four thousand have in their foreheads?

  Rev. 14:1,7; Isaiah 12:2; 9:6; 61:1; Jehovah, the creator. (John 1:1,3; Ex.20:11)Jeremiah 23:1to6; 33:14to17 Jehovah/Branch Our Righteousness is his name

 

What is not defiled with women; virgins?

  Rev.14:4; 2 Corinthians 11:2 ... for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.  Ephesians 5:22to33; Rev.12:10,11,17 Christ's church, holy, pure not having spot or wrinkle. 

     "defiled with women" Rev. 2:20to23; 17:1to9,15; Note: 1 Kings 16:30to33;18:17to21 Jezebel brought false pagan worship into Jehovah's church of that day.

     Acts 7:37to42; Ezekiel 8:15,16; 9:3to7 even sunworship.  Jezebel of today has already set up false worship, and other churches have kept or brought in false worship that has defiled them. 2 Thessalonians 2:1to13; Daniel 7:23to25; Even keeping the change of the same day the sunworshippers used.  Creating a false Lord's Day. Rev.1:10; Luke 4:14to16; 6:5; 23:56; Isaiah 58:13

  (1 Peter 1:16; Leviticus 11:44to47; 19:2,3,4 be ye holy, as I am holy)

 Rev. 18:2to5;17:3to5,9 MOTHER OF HARLOTS, arrayed in purple and scarlet,

...which is on seven hills ...Babylon ...is become the habitation of

devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of  every unclean and hateful bird. ... Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins,...

        

Redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb?

     Rev.14:4;  1 Corin. 15:23;   ( Num. 18:12,13; Rev.14:12to16)

Jere. 2:3,4; James 1:18; 1 Thess. 4:17; (Hebrews 11:5; 2 Kings 2:1,11)

 

In their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault?

     Rev. 14:5; Zephaniah 3:4,13to17 The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: ... 1 Thess. 5:23

 

Before the throne of  God?

   Rev.14:5; Zephaniah 3:15 The Lord hath taken away thy judgements, he hath cast out thine enemy: the king of Israel, even the Lord, is in the midst of thee: thou shalt not see evil any more.   Isaiah 44:6; 43:15; Matthew 2:1,2to6; 6:33  Wise men still seek the King of the Jews.  Rev. 19:13to16  He is KING OF KINGS, and LORD of LORDS. and Exodus 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

      

Would you like to receive the gift of  adoption into the family of God by faith?

   Repent, and be baptized in the name of  Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and receive the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

 The heavenly Father loves you and wants you to be with him for ever  in paradise. Praise Jesus!

      Receive Jesus as your Personal Saviour, Friend and King with your whole heart!

                      (pray in Jesus name)
