THE SECOND 144,000
Rev. 7:1-3 |
1: |
And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. |
2: |
And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living Yahweh: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea. |
|
3: |
Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of Yahweh in their foreheads.
|
Jeremiah 22:22 |
22: |
The wind shall eat up all thy pastors, and thy lovers shall go into captivity; surely then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded for all they wickedness. |
Jeremiah 51:1 |
1: |
Thus saith Yahweh; Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in the midst of them that rise up against me, a destroying wind; |
|
These first 3 verses is the setting before Yahweh returns to wipe out the armies that have come against Israel. |
Joel 3:1-2 |
1: |
For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem. |
2: |
I will also gather ALL NATIONS, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land. |
Joel 3:9-16 |
9: |
Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up: |
10: |
Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong. |
|
11: |
Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O Yahweh. |
|
12: |
Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about. |
|
13: |
Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great. |
|
14: |
Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of Yahweh is near in the valley of decision. |
|
15: |
The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining. |
|
16: |
Yahweh also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but Yahweh will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel. |
Micah 4:11-12 |
11: |
Now also many nations are gathered against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion. |
12: |
But they know not the thoughts of Yahweh, neither understand they his counsel: for he shall gather them as the sheaves into the floor. |
|
These 144,000 will be all that are left out of the nation of Israel when the armies of the world comes against Israel. |
Isaiah 1:7-9 |
7: |
Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers. |
8: |
And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city. |
|
9: |
Except Yahweh of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
|
Isaiah 10:20 & 22 |
20: |
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon Yahweh, the Set Apart One of Israel, in truth. |
22: |
For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness. |
Joel 2:32 |
32: |
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call upon the name of Yahweh shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as Yahweh hath said, and in the remnant whom Yahweh shall call. |
|
They will call Yahweh back, which you will see in the following verses. |
Matt. 23:39 |
39: |
For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is He that cometh in the name of Yahweh. |
Luke 13:35 |
35: |
Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is He that cometh in the Name of Yahweh. |
|
Verses 5-8 sealed 12,000 of each of the twelve tribes of Israel. But remember the ten lost tribes. This is how we know it is speaking of just before He returns. |
Rev. 7:4-8 |
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. |
5: |
Of the tribe of Judah were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand. |
|
6: |
Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand. |
|
7: |
Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand. |
|
8: |
Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand. |
|
Yahweh must bring back all the lost tribes to Israel before His return. |
Psalm 106:47 |
47: |
Save us, O Yahweh our Mighty One, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy set apart name, and to triumph in thy praise. |
Jer. 23:3 & 8 |
3: |
And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase. |
8: |
But, Yahweh liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land. |
Isaiah 43:5 & 7 |
5: |
Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west; |
7: |
Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my esteem, I have formed him; yea, I have made him. |
|
These are sealed just before the final conflict before he returns to set up his earthly kingdom. They are not the end time evangelist as many would have you believe. They are the last number from the 12 tribes to be given salvation before Yahweh's return. When Yahweh returns, He will set up His kingdom here on earth and He will teach all the peoples of the earth. They will have to go to Jerusalem to be taught by Him. So there will be no need for evangelist. |
|
In verse 9, it says it is a very small remnant that is left out of Israel. |
Micah 4:1-2 |
1: |
But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of Yahweh shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it. |
2: |
And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of Yahweh, and to the house of Yahweh of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem. |
|
Now you should be able to see that the 144,000 of Revelation Ch. 7 and the 144,000 in Revelation Ch. 14 are not the same. But two completely different groups. |
|
The Messiah's firstfruits was 144,000 and his last fruits will be 144,000, it started with Israel and it will end with Israel. |
