The 144,000
Revelation 14
26 September 2021
Jesus will return on Mt. Zion (Isa. 24:23, Ps. 2) as long prophesied, with 12,000 Jews from every tribe to proclaim the Good News throughout the world.
The 144,000 are the fruit of the spiritual harvest that will come from Israel. An angel will be sent to preach the Good News to all the world - the same Good News that we preach today.
A second angel will proclaim that Babylon has fallen, and a third will warn about taking the mark of the beast. God has never poured out His wrath in full throughout history, but it will come in the end, and on those who accept the mark.
The saints of God will have to persevere to the end and be faithful despite the judgement on the earth. John has a vision of Christ returning to judge the world, and will crush unbelievers in that day. The Good News is that whoever turns to Jesus now will be saved from His judgement then.
