THE VICTORY OF THE 144,000


Revelation 14:1: “And I” [John] “looked,” [a vision] “and, lo, a Lamb” [Christ] “stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.” See Revelation 3:12 and Revelation 22:1-4.

Message to reader: The 144,000

During the reign of the BEAST whose deadly wound was healed and the False Prophet, The 144,000 shall be killed for their witness and testimony of Christ, see Revelation 12:11. The killing of the 144,000 is the fulfillment/completion of The Great Tribulation (The end of the Fifth Seal). This vision (Revelation 14:1-5) explains the victory of The 144,000 over the BEAST whose deadly wound was healed, and the False Prophet. The 144,000 are the firstfruits unto God and the Lamb.

Romans chapter 8, explains how The Sons of God received eternal life through Christ; in John chapter 17, Jesus prays for the men that are given to him from God; additionally, 1 Corinthians chapter 15, explains the resurrection of the dead (eternal life in Christ), see Message to reader: The Sons of God.

Revelation 14:3: “And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders:" [Before the Most High’s throne in heaven, see Revelation 15:2-3] "and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.” See Revelation 6:9-11.


Revelation 14:4: “These are they” [The 144,000/Servants of God] “which were not defiled with women;” [See Proverbs 2:16-22] “for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb” [Christ] “whithersoever he goeth." [See 2 Corinthians 11:2] "These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits: unto God and to the Lamb.” See Romans 8:28-30 and 1 Corinthians 15:23.

The three angels warning (Revelation 14:6-11) is an allegory (symbolic representation) of the period of The Great Tribulation. During the aforementioned period, the Saints/144,000 will preach the everlasting gospel/the testimony of Christ, and warn the people of the earth of the consequences of worshiping the BEAST and his image;
