REVELATION - 144,000 SEALED

 

Revelation 7:1-8


After this I saw Four Angels

Standing at the four corners of the Earth,

Holding back the Four Winds of the Earth

To prevent any wind from blowing on the land

Or on the sea or on any tree.


2 Then I saw another Angel coming up from the East,

HAVING THE SEAL OF THE LIVING GOD.

He called out in a Loud Voice

To the Four Angels who had been given Power

To harm the land and the sea:


3 'Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees

UNTIL WE PUT A SEAL ON THE FOREHEADS

OF THE SERVANTS OF GOD.'


4 Then I heard the number of those who were Sealed:

144,000 from all the Tribes of Israel.


5 From the tribe of Judah 12,000 were Sealed

From the tribe of Reuben 12,000,

From the tribe of Gad 12,000,

6 From the tribe of Asher 12,000,

From the tribe of Naphtali 12,000,

From the tribe of Manasseh 12,000,

From the tribe of Simeon 12,000,

7 From the tribe of Levi 12,000,

From the tribe of Issachar 12,000,

8 From the tribe of Zebulun 12,000,

From the tribe of Joseph 12,000,

From the tribe of Benjamin 12,000.

(Revelation 7:1-8)


There is much discussion as to who these people are.

I do not believe that they are strictly Jews,

But rather of the Israel of God,

Which includes all Believers.


I further believe they may be the Male Child

Of the Bride of Christ,

The Woman of Revelation 12.


These passages once again

Display the Sovereignty of God

Over His Creation;

The Sovereignty of His Plan and Purposes.
