2 THE LAMB AND 144,000 Revelation 14:1: And I [John] looked, [a vision] and, lo, a Lamb [Christ] stood on the mount Sion, [See Revelation 20:4, 6 and Revelation 22:1-4] and with him" [Christ] "an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. See Revelation 2:26-27 and Revelation 3:12. Message to reader: The 144,000 Prior to the 144,000/Servants of God receiving the reward revealed in the vision of Revelation 14:1, they shall sing "as it were a new song before the throne..." see Revelation 14:2-5 and Revelation 15:1-4 these scriptures go hand-in-hand, these visions explain the victory of the 144,000 over the Beast whose deadly wound was healed. During the reign of the Beast whose deadly wound was healed, the 144,000 will be killed for their witness and testimony of Christ; they will not worship the Beast whose deadly wound was healed, and the False Prophet, nor his image nor receive his mark upon their foreheads. After their deaths, they will be redeemed from the earth, to be the firstfruits unto the Most High and Christ, see Revelation 14:3-4 and Revelation 6:9-11. The killing of the 144,000 is the fulfillment of the Fifth Seal.

The aforementioned songs will be sung in heaven before the Most High s throne when they are redeemed from the earth, after they are killed for their testimony. Question to the readers: How could any other man learn this song if they were not killed and redeemed from the earth, given the harps of God, and present in the Most High s throne room in heaven? In other words, how can you learn this song if you are not the firstfruits unto God and Christ? See Revelation 14:4-5. Page 2 of 7

3 THE SONG OF THE 144,000 Revelation 14:2: And I [John] heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I [John] HEARD the voice of harpers harping with their harps: See Revelation 15:2. Revelation 14:3: And they [The 144,000/Servants of God] sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: [The Most High throne room in heaven, see Revelation 15:2] and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. 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. [Those that overcome are presented as chaste virgin, see 2 Corinthians 11:2] These are they [The 144,000] which follow the Lamb [Christ] whithersoever he goeth. These [The 144,000] were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits: [The first among those written in the Lamb s book of life, see Revelation 21:27] "unto God and to the Lamb. Revelation 14:5: And in their mouth [The 144,000/Servants of God] was found no guile: [The 144,000 spoke the words of Christ] "for they [The 144,000] are without fault before the throne of God. See Revelation 3:5, Revelation 12:11 and Matthew 10:32. Page 3 of 7

See Romans 8:29 and Colossians 1:3, Corinthians 15:21: For since by man [Adam] came death, by man [Christ] came also the resurrection of the dead.

Revelation 20:2: And he [The angel] laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, [See Revelation 12:9] and bound him a thousand years, Revelation 20:3: And cast him [Satan] into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he [Satan] should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he [Satan] must be loosed a little season. Satan will be loosed at the end of the 1,000 year reign of Christ and the 144,000, see Revelation 20:7-8. This has not happen! THE SAINTS REIGN WITH CHRIST 1000 YEARS Revelation 20:4: And I [John] saw thrones, and they [The 144,000/Servants of God] sat upon them, [Thrones] and judgment was given unto them: [The 144,000, see Revelation 2:26-27] and I [John] saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the Beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their [The 144,000 s] foreheads, or in their [The 144,000 s] hands; and they [The 144,000] lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. Message to reader: The Reign of Christ and 144,000 (1,000 Years) This 1,000 year period is spoken of in Psalm 149:1-9 and Isaiah 14:1-3; the nations shall serve hard bondage under Christ, and the 144,000. As stated in Revelation 20:4, the 144,000 will live and reign with Christ during this period. They will not die, and will have power over the nations, see Revelation 2: Revelation 20:5: But the rest of the dead [The Elect, their children, and their children's children] lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This [See verse 4] is the first resurrection. Page 5 of 7

See verse 4 and Revelation 14:1. SATAN CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE Revelation 20:7: And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, The bottomless pit, see verses 2-3. Revelation 20:8: And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, [See Ezekiel 39:1] to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. Revelation 20:9: And they [Gog and Magog] went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: [Israel and Jerusalem] and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. See Ezekiel 39:1-7. Revelation 20:10: And the devil that deceived them [The nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog] was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the Beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. THE FINAL JUDGMENT: THE SECOND DEATH Revelation 20:11: And I [John] saw a great white throne, and him [The Most High] that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; [See Isaiah 65:17 and 2 Peter 3:13] and there was found no place [On the new earth] for them. The wicked, see verse 15. Revelation 20:12: And I [John] saw the dead, [All flesh, that have lived and died upon the earth, from the time of creation until the final judgment (except the 144,000, see verses 4, 6)] small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: [Records kept of everyone s works] and another book was opened, which is the book of life: [See Message to reader: The Book of Life] and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, [Records kept of everyone] according to their works. See Jeremiah 32: Page 6 of 7

7 Revelation 20:13: And the sea gave up the dead [Bodies] which were in it; and death and hell [Spirits belonging to each body that lived upon the earth] delivered up the dead which were in them: and they [The dead] were judged every man [In their bodies] according to their works. See Jeremiah 32:19. Revelation 20:14: And death [See 1 Corinthians 15:26] and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. See Revelation 21:8. Revelation 20:15: And whosoever [Of the dead standing before God, whose names] was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. This is the fulfillment of Matthew 10:28:...but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Death, hell, and the wicked (with their bodies), will be cast into the lake of fire. This diagram represents an overview of the Kingdom of Christ. Page 7 of 7
