13 Firstfruits who are redeemed from among humans

Firstfruits who are redeemed from among men
Are the 144000 firstfruits who stand on Mount Zion with the Lamb in Revelation 14[1], and the 144000 of 12 tribes who are sealed in Revelation 7[2], the same witnesses? Are the overcomers and the 144000 firstfruits who are redeemed from among men, different or the same people? If those who passed through the sea of glass were resurrected or transformed martyr witnesses, the number would be much more than the 144000. All those who have reached the 1st resurrection must have passed through the sea of glass, clothed with the spiritual body, so those who sing the song of the Lamb on the sea of glass, must represent the martyr witnesses. When the martyr witnesses are said to be those who overcome the beasts of each age, the firstfruits redeemed from among men will be those who overcome the last beast or are included among them.   Rev.7:2 I saw another angel ascend from the sunrise, having the seal of the living God. He cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was given to harm the earth and the sea, Rev.7:3 saying, "Don't harm the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, until we have sealed the bondservants of our God on their foreheads!" Rev.7:4 I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred forty-four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the children of Israel: †   I see these 144000 as the same people as the 144000 in Revelation 14. Since it is recorded that 12000 people from each tribe of Israel are sealed, there may be an opinion that only the outward Israelites are sealed, but I have a different view. †   The nation of Israel that God originally intended[3] was not an outward nation of Israel[4] but an inward nation of Israel.[5] Because without the outward Israel[6] the inward Israel cannot be raised up[7], it is simply that God raised up the outward Israel first.[8] In other words, because the Messiah had promised that He would come as a descendant of Abraham[9], there was a need for a nation who waited for the promise and received the word of God.[10] To call Satan's people as God's people, outward God's people are needed.[11] The wife that Jacob truly loved was Rachel, but Jacob could not marry Rachel without first marrying Leah.[12] The people the LORD Jesus truly wants to be His bride are the inward Israel[13], but without the outward Israel the inward Israel cannot be raised up.[14] Even if it is the same son of Abraham, the spiritual son Issac is Abraham's heir, not the physical son Ishmael.[15] †   Of course, God still loves the outward Israel[16], so He will restore them[17] and unite them[18] into the true Israel.[19] It means that no matter who is born as outward Israel or foreign people, there will be no difference in the end of the person being perfected as the true nation of Israel. In other words, there will be no difference in being perfected in the image of God who loves God and neighbors. God loves not only the outward Israel but also the gentiles alike.[20] In order to save every nation, God simply chose the outward Israel first.[21] Abraham, too, was only a gentile outside of Christ before receiving the promise from God.[22] The one nation chosen to save every nation was merely the outward Israel.[23] Since God wants to save every nation[24], why does He only call the outward Israel as the firstfruits redeemed from among men? Among the firstfruits who are redeemed from among men, there will be those who were originally outward Israel but are called to be the true Israel, and those who were originally foreign people but are called to be the true Israel. All who came into the LORD Jesus, whether they were the outward Israel or the foreign people, are the true Israel, the descendants of Abraham.[25] Rev.7:9 After these things I saw, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, out of every nation and of all tribes, peoples, and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands. †   A great multitude which no human could number are those who come out of the great tribulation.[26] Since the great tribulation here refers to the tribulation that will take place around the 70th week[27], there may be an opinion that this great multitude refers only to the martyrs of the 70th week. However, at the time of the 1st resurrection, all martyr witnesses will be resurrected or transformed[28] to participate in the 1000-year kingdom.[29] That is why I believe that this great multitude can be viewd as all the martyr witnesses who are raised by the 1st resurrection.[30] Since the book of Revelation is a record that mainly shows what happens in the 70th week, the book of Revelation focuses on the saints who are going through the tribulation of the 70th week.[31] However, in the 1st resurrection which is the better resurrection, all martyr witnesses who have lived a life of martyrdom during the 6000 year history of humankind[32], will be resurrected or transformed. †   Immediately after showing the firstfruits of the 144000 who are sealed, God shows the martyr witnesses who will be resurrected or transformed along with the 144000. Because the 1000-year kingdom symbolized by the Feast of Tabernacles is near, God shows the fruits to be gathered at the Feast of Tabernacles. The white clothes symbolize the spiritual body[33] that the firstfruits who are resurrected or transformed, are clothed with.[34] The palm branches in their hands indicate that the Feast of Tabernacles, the 1000-year kingdom, is near.[35] (Assuming that the 144000 in Revelation 7 and the 144000 in Revelation 14 are the same people) When the 144000 stand with the Lamb on Mount Zion after the 1st resurrecton takes place[36], this great multitude which no human could number sing praises to God by singing the song of the Lamb on the sea of glass mixed with fire.[37] (There may be a view that the 144000 and the great multitude will stand together on the sea of glass from the beginning, and there may be a view that the 144000 which stood on Mount Zion, will eventually stand on the sea of glass with the great multitude. Some may view Revelatioin 14 as the words that show what the 144000 who will stand on the sea of glass, do during the reign of the beast.) Rev.14:1 I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him a number, one hundred forty-four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads. Rev.14:2 I heard a sound from heaven, like the sound of many waters, and like the sound of a great thunder. The sound which I heard was like that of harpers playing on their harps. Rev.14:3 They sing a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the one hundred forty-four thousand, those who had been redeemed out of the earth. Rev.14:4 These are those who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed by Jesus from among men, the first fruits to God and to the Lamb. Rev.14:5 In their mouth was found no lie, for they are blameless. †   These are the last firstfruits that are produced after the firtstfruits of those who are asleep[38] and the saints who have the firstfruits of the Spirit.[39] These are the firstfruits who are redeemed from among men, so they may be called the human firstfruits. These are 144000. The early rain is the rain that makes sprout, and the latter rain is the rain that produces fruit. If we receive God the Holy Spirit who comes as the early rain, we become those who have the firstfruits of God the Holy Spirit. Near the 70th week[40], God the Holy Spirit will come even as the latter rain.[41] And among the saints who have the firstfruits of God the Holy Spirit, those who receive God the Holy Spirit who comes even as the latter rain, become the firstfruits who are redeemed from among men. These are those who truly love God and have turned away from sin. Rev.15:2 I saw something like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who overcame the beast, and his image, and the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God. Rev.15:3 They sang the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, "Great and marvelous are your works, Lord God, the Almighty; Righteous and true are your ways, you King of the nations. Rev.15:4 Who wouldn't fear you, Lord, And glorify your name? For you only are holy. For all the nations will come and worship before you. For your righteous acts have been revealed. †   Just as the Israelites who followed Moses across the red sea praised God with the song of Moses[42], God's people who crossed the sea of glass following the call of the LORD Jesus[43] praise to God with the song of the Lamb. It is only said that they are those who did not worship the beast, but considering that all martyr witnesses will be raised by the 1st resurrection[44], it is thought that those who worship on the sea of glass are all the martyr witnesses in the human history including the saints of the old testament age and the saints who have the firstfruits of God the Holy Spirit.[45] There have been beasts in every age[46], and there have always been images of God who overcome the beasts through their martyrdom.[47]

They have the name of the Son and the name of His Father written on their foreheads. The Son inherited His Father's name, 'Jesus', which is above every name[62], so perhaps on the foreheads of the 144000, the supreme name 'Jesus', might be written.[63] (We do not think about the ever-existing eternity that transcends space-time, before God the Son emptied Himself within space-time. We only think of God the Son who confined Himself within the limits of space-time.)
Rev.22:3 There will be no curse any more. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants serve him. Rev.22:4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. Rev.22:5 There will be no night, and they need no lamp light; for the Lord God will illuminate them. They will reign forever and ever. †   The name of God is sealed on the foreheads of the servants, the priests of new Jerusalem. John3:33 He who has received his witness has set his seal to this, that God is true. †   Those who receive the witness which God reveals, are the ones who set their seal to the fact that God is true. John6:27 Don't work for the food which perishes, but for the food which remains to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him." †   The LORD Jesus is the One who has been sealed by His Father. 2Cor.1:22 who also sealed us, and gave us the down payment of the Spirit in our hearts. †   God the Holy Spirit is our seal. Eph.1:13 in whom you also, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation, -- in whom, having also believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, Eph.4:30 Don't grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. †   God the Holy Spirit becomes our seal. 2Tim.2:19 However God's firm foundation stands, having this seal, "The Lord knows those who are his," and, "Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness." †   Turning away from sin is the proof of being sealed. Ezek.9:2 Behold, six men came from the way of the upper gate, which lies toward the north, every man with his slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man in the midst of them clothed in linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side. They went in, and stood beside the brazen altar. Ezek.9:3 The glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon it was, to the threshold of the house: and he called to the man clothed in linen, who had the writer's inkhorn by his side. Ezek.9:4 Yahweh said to him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark on the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry over all the abominations that are done in the midst of it. Ezek.9:5 To the others he said in my hearing, Go you through the city after him, and strike: don't let your eye spare, neither have you pity; Ezek.9:6 kill utterly the old man, the young man and the virgin, and little children and women; but don't come near any man on whom is the mark: and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the old men that were before the house. †   God seals those who cry over the abominations that break the commandments of love.
Those who will participate in the 1st resurrection, the better resurrection[64]
Revelation 14	Revelation 7	Revelation 15
Firstfruits of those who are redeemed from among men[65]	Witnesses who are raised by the 1st resurrection and will be in new Jerusalem, those who are clothed with the spiritual body	Witnesses who are raised by the 1st resurrection and clothed with the spiritual body, the body of resurrection and the transformation
Rev.7:13 One of the elders answered, saying to me, "These who are arrayed in white robes, who are they, and where did they come from?" Rev.7:14 I told him, "My lord, you know." He said to me, "These are those who came out of the great oppression. They washed their robes, and made them white in the Lamb's blood. Rev.7:15 Therefore they are before the throne of God, they serve him day and night in his temple. He who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them. Rev.7:16 They will never be hungry, neither thirsty any more; neither will the sun beat on them, nor any heat; Rev.7:17 for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne shepherds them, and leads them to living springs of waters. God will wipe away every tear from their eyes." †   The time to show this scene to John is after breaking the 6th seal and before breaking the 7th seal. The resurrection or the transformation takes place only after the 7th trumpet is sounded[66], so at this time the 70th week has not yet begun, let alone the 1st resurrection. Then suddenly, a great multitude in white robes is shown. Since the white robes symbolize the body of resurrection, that is, the spiritual body[67], the great multitude in white robes represents the martyr witnesses who have been resurrected or transformed. †   One of the elders explains who they are. These are those who come out of the great tribulation and will serve God before the throne where the water of life flows.[68] The LORD Jesus is showing John in advance the royal priests, the martyr witnesses, who will serve the LORD Jesus in new Jerusalem. †   When the 6th trumpet is sounded the 70th week begins with the death of people1/3.[69] For the 1st half of the 70th week, the great tribulation which has not been since the creation of the world, takes place.[70] (There may be an opinion that the great tribulation will begin 'with' the 1st half of the 70th week, by interpreting 'half' in Dan 9:27 as 'for half'.[71] And there may be an opinion that the great tribulation will begin 'in' the 1st half of the 70th week, by interpreting 'half' in Dan 9:27 as 'in the middle'.) At the end of this great tribulation, the 7th trumpet is sounded and the 1st resurrection takes place.[72] But at this time, the 70th week has not yet begun. It is only the breaking of the 6th seal, but God shows John the martyr witnesses raised by the 1st resurrection who will confirm Satan's judgment.[73] Even though the fight of the 70th week has not even begun, God is showing John the overcomers. The 144000 firstfruits redeemed from among men are the last firstfruits.[74] When the last firstfruits are sealed, the sealing gives the impression that Satan's defeat has already been confirmed. Moreover, it is highly probable that this is the time when Satan will soon be cast out to the earth[75] through the martyr witnesses who were victorious when the LORD Jesus broke the 5th seal.[76] (When the LORD Jesus breaks the 5th seal, the number of martyr witnesses is almost completed through the witnesses who were martyred around that time. Therefore, I view that Satan is cast out to the earth between the time of the 5th seal and the 5th trumpet to raise up beasts from the sea and the earth.) Satan who sensed his defeat, will now open the abyss[77] and raise beasts from the sea and the earth[78], and he will make his last move.[79] It appears in the results after the 5th and 6th trumpet are sounded. Rev.20:4 I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and such as didn't worship the beast nor his image, and didn't receive the mark on their forehead and on their hand. They lived, and reigned with Christ for the thousand years. Rev.20:5 The rest of the dead didn't live until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Rev.20:6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over these, the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will reign with him one thousand years. †   Those raised by the 1st resurrection, whether martyred by life or death[80], are those who have given up the comforts of this world by loving the LORD Jesus.[81] As priests who worship the LORD Jesus, they will rule the 1000-year kingdom in new Jerusalem.[82] However, even the same martyr witnesses will have different areas of rule, depending on the degree of loyalty to the LORD Jesus.[83] These are those who sow less than 100 years of life on battlefield and reap 1000 years in paradise. Rev.21:3 I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying, "Behold, God's dwelling is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. Rev.21:4 He will wipe away from them every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more. The first things have passed away. Rev.21:5 He who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." He said, "Write, for these words of God are faithful and true." Rev.21:6 He said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give freely to him who is thirsty from the spring of the water of life. Rev.21:7 He who overcomes, I will give him these things. I will be his God, and he will be my son. †   Although the judgment against Satan who has been imprisoned in the abyss, still remains[84], the free will of the creatures has been perfected through the resurrection and the transformation of the martyr witnesses.[85] There is no more sin in the perfected creatures.[86] Creation is almost completed. If even death is burned in the lake of fire in front of the great white throne[87], creation will be completely completed.[88] There is no more suffering forever for priests who have undergone the pain of death and have been resurrected or transformed. Rev.21:23 The city has no need for the sun, neither of the moon, to shine, for the very glory of God illuminated it, and its lamp is the Lamb. Rev.21:24 The nations will walk in its light. The kings of the earth bring the glory and honor of the nations into it. Rev.21:26 and they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it so that they may enter. Rev.21:27 There will in no way enter into it anything profane, or one who causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life. †   Only those whose free will have been perfected, can enter into new Jerusalem. In other words, only the priests who have passed the test, those who have been resurrected or transformed, can enter the new Jerusalem. (I think the angels will also be able to enter because their free will must have been perfected, but they will not be able to enter as a ruler.[89]) Because Satan is imprisoned in the abyss, the people have not yet been tested. It means that they will have a hidden sin.[90] Therefore, the people will not be able to enter into new Jerusalem, the most holy place in the 1000-year kingdom.[91] Rev.22:1 He showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb, Rev.22:2 in the midst of its street. On this side of the river and on that was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruits, yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. Rev.22:3 There will be no curse any more. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants serve him. Rev.22:4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. Rev.22:5 There will be no night, and they need no lamp light; for the Lord God will illuminate them. They will reign forever and ever. †   The martyr witnesses who did not spare their lives[92] to fulfill the will of the LORD Jesus to annihilate sin from the creation world[93], are rewarded accordingly.
Revelation 14	Revelation 7	Revelation 15
Eternal gospel continues[94] And finished with the harvest of the firstfruits and the grapes[95] 7th trumpet is sounded, the harvest of the firstfruits, the 1st resurrection, takes place, and the 7 plagues, the harvest of the grapes, are poured out.	7th seal, that is, 7 trumpets, continues[96] Therefore, there may be an opinion that the 7th seal is broken after the sealing is finished. When the 7th seal is broken, the incense is offered[97] in preparation for atonement[98] on the Day of Atonement.	Judgment of the 7 plagues continues[99] As the firstfruits redeemed from among men and the overcomers who overcame the beasts, were harvested by the 1st resurrection, the 7 plagues, the harvest of the grapes, begin.
Conclusion
These are all those who will participate in the 1st resurrection and directly represent the saints who will pass through the 70th week. Witnesses who were martyred before the 70th week, are not directly mentioned in Revelation 7, Revelation 14, Revelation 15. Revelation 7 shows that 144000 firstfruits will be sealed, and many firstfruits will overcome and pass the great tribulation in the 70th week. Revelation 14 shows that in the 70th week, the 144000 saints will become the firstfruits redeemed from among men. Revelation 15 intensively shows that the firstfruits in the 70th week will overcome the sea beast and the land beast in the 70th week. However, it is thought that the book of Revelation shows only the firstfruits in the 70th week. This is because most of the book of Revelation is written about the events that will take place around the 70th week. (Some may view the great multitude of saints in Revelation 7 as every martyr witness who have passed through every tribulation until then in human history.[100] Regardless of how they view whether the witnesses who will be martyred in the 70th week are also included in this great multitude, or whether the witnesses who will be martyred in the future are not included in this great multitude, anyway.) If we look at the martyr witnesses in history as a whole, regardless of when they were martyred, all the martyr witnesses will be able to participate in the 1st resurrection and enter into new Jerusalem in the 1000-year kingdom.[101]  In Revelation 7, the great multitude who passed through the great tribulation, who are clothed with white robes washed in the blood of the Lamb, are likely to be the ones who sing the song of the Lamb before the throne. After God commanded the 144000 to be sealed, the sealed 144000 and the victors who will overcome the beasts, are shown in advance. Considering that the 2 witnesses symbolize the 144000 firstfruits, since the 2 witnesses are resurrected and ascended to heaven after their martyrdom, it is not thought that all of the 144000 firstfruits will be transformed. Even if the 2 witnesses are not the 144000 firstfruits, the 2 witnesses will contain all of the 144000 firstfruits.  Also, among the victors who overcame the beasts, it is thought that there are those who will be transformed. This is because for the 1260 days, for the 1st half of the 70th week, while the 2 witnesses fight against the beasts and proclaim the eternal gospel, there will be a true church who will be nourished at her place in the wilderness, avoiding the beasts raised by the serpent.[102] All or some of these will survive until the coming of the LORD Jesus and will eventually be transformed.[103] I see that among the 144000 firstfruits, there are those who will be resurrected and those who will be transformed, and among those who overcome the beasts, there are those who will be resurrected and those who will be transformed. Whether the firstfruits redeemed from among men or the saints who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, both will be resurrected or transformed. However, since the 144000 are the firstfruits of receiving God the Holy Spirit who comes even as the latter rain, I guess that there is probably some difference in their 'mission'[104] compared to the overcomers who only received God the Holy Spirit who comes as the early rain.[105] (This does not mean[106] that the 144000 will receive a greater reward.[107])  Even if the 144000 in Revelation 7 and the 144000 in Revelation 14 refer to different people, not the same people, I think that both the 144000 in Revelation 7 and the 144000 in Revelation 14, are the same martyr witnesses who will participate in the 1st resurrection. Furthermore, I think that the 144000 in Revelation 7 and the 144000 in Revelation 14 refer to the same people. The reason is as outlined above ①Both are 144000. ②Both of them stand[108] in front of the Lamb in the same way.[109] (The great multitude, introduced following the 144000 in Revelation 7, stand before the Lamb and give praise to the Lamb. It can be inferred that the 144000 will also give praise to the Lamb with the great multitude. The sea of glass is also represented as being before the throne.[110] It means that the saints who sing the song of the Lamb on the sea of glass, will also be in front of the Lamb.) ③Both of them overcome the great tribulation of the beasts.[111] (The meaning that the great multitude in Revelation 7 overcame the great tribulation, means that the sealed 144000 described before must also have overcome the great tribulation.) ④Both are sealed on their foreheads.[112] ⑤Both of them praise the Lamb before the throne.[113] (I believe that when the great multitude in Revelation 7 praises the Lamb, the sealed 144000 described above will also praise the Lamb with the great multitude.) ⑥Both participate in the 1st resurrection.    The 144000 saints must be the firstfruits redeemed from among men who are sealed.[114] And the great multitude who passed through the great tribulation[115], and the overcomers who stand on the sea of glass[116], (including the 144000 firstfruits) will be all the martyr witnesses in the 70th week.
Premise1: Assume that the 144000 in Revelation 7 who received the seal that begins after the breaking of the 6th seal, are the 144000 firstfruits redeemed from among men in Revelation 14 standing on Mount Zion. Premise2: It is assumed that the eternal gospel is proclaimed after the sealed 144000 firstfruits are produced. Premise3: Assume that all of the 144000 firstfruits are included in the 2 witnesses who appear after the 6th trumpet is sounded.
When the 144000 firstfruits, the last firstfruits, who will stand on Mount Zion, are produced[117], the eternal gospel is proclaimed[118] and the harvest of the grain begins.[119] In other words, the harvest of the martyr witnesses[120], the harvest of the firstfruits[121], the harvest of the children of God[122], begins.[123] I view the harvest of the firstfruits means the 1st resurrection[124], the better resurrection, that is, the resurrection and the transformation of the martyr witnesses.[125] When the harvest of the firstfruits is over, the harvest of the grapes is begins. I see the harvest of the grapes means the 7 golden bowl plagues that are pour out on the earth.  The reason the high priest offers incense to the most holy place[126], is to purify the sanctuary.[127] To purify the sanctuary means to annihilate the possibility to sin.[128] The possibility to sin remaining within the angels of the true temple cannot be annihilated without any cause. The reason there is a possibility to sin, is that free will is given. The free will given to angels cannot be perfected without good cause. The angels must be given convincing proof about God's love and justice.[129] In other words, the proof must be done not only of the love of God, but also of the truthfulness of the commandments. Through the cross, the Son proved God's love[130] and opened the way for the firstfruits to prove the truthfulness of the commandments.[131] When all the firstfruits, including the firstfruits who are redeemed from among men, are produced, and the appointed number of martyr witnesses is completed[132], all doubts about God's love and justice will be annihilated forever, and the angels will be able to love God willingly and submit to His rule endlessly.[133] The free will of the angels is perfected through the blood of the Son and the witnesses who were reborn with blood, and all evils related to sin are completely washed away from the heaven of angels polluted by Helel's rebellion.[134]  The eternal gospel has been proclaimed for the 1st half of the 70th week by the 144000 firstfruits who stand on Mount Zion with the Lamb.[135] While the eternal gospel is being proclaimed, the harvest of the firstfruits is prepared, and when the proclamation of the gospel is finished and the appointed number of martyr witnesses is fully completed through the firstfruits that have overcome the beasts, finally the 1st resurrection takes place. After the harvest of the firstfruits, the 1st resurrection, the harvested firstfruits, the martyr witnesses, sing the song of the Lamb on the sea of glass.  The 144000 firstfruits stand on Mount Zion, but the overcomers who overcame the beasts stand on the sea of glass. Both Mount Zion and the sea of glass must be places that can only be reached through the resurrection or the transformation, but I don't think Mount Zion and the sea of glass are different expressions of the same single place. Mount Zion usually refers to the hill of Jerusalem where the temple is located[136], and is often used to refer to Jerusalem as the city where God dwells.[137] The meaning that the 144000 firstfruits stand on Mount Zion obviously means that the 1st resurrection has taken place, but the 144000 are expressed as standing on Mount Zion, and the overcomers who overcame the beasts including the saints who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, are expressed as standing on the sea of glass. The saints who have the firstfruits of the Spirit who comes as the early rain, and the 144000 human firstfruits who receive God the Holy Spirit who comes even as the latter rain, are the same martyr witnesses. But are only the 144000 firstfruits caught up to other place?  In order to say that God proclaimed the eternal gospel through the 144000 firstfruits who stand on Mount Zion and fulfilled the harvest of the firstfruits, I believe that God spoke about the eternal gospel and the harvest after the explanation of the 144000. In other words, I mean that I see the Revelation 14, not as a word that the harvest will take place after the 144000 stand on Mount Zion, but as a word that explains what kind of people the 144000 are who prepared the harvest, the 1st resurrection. I don't think it is very important whether the sealed 144000 will stand on Mount Zion or on the sea of glass after they are resurrected or transformed. Because the 144000 and other martyr witnesses will be with the LORD Jesus together anyway after the 1st resurrection.[138] Whether the location of the LORD Jesus is expressed as Mount Zion or on the sea of glass, the martyr witnesses will be resurrected or transformed, and will be caught up into the air, and will surely avoid the 7 plagues.  Since the mission entrusted to the 144000 firstfruits is more aggressive than the mission entrusted to other martyr witnesses, it seems that the 144000 firstfruits and other firstfruits are separately explained. When other martyr witnesses who received God the Holy Spirit who came as the early rain, are protected in a prepared place from the beasts[139] or are martyred by the beasts[140], the 144000 martyrs who were sealed with God the Holy Spirit who came even as the latter rain[141], warn of the worshiping of the beasts and smash the armies of the beasts.[142] But that means their mission will be different[143], not that their reward will be greater[144]. If we cannot offer much even though we have received a lot[145], it might be better not to receive much.[146] Of course, there may be an opinion that since they are martyr witnesses who will offer a lot, God the Holy Spirit came to them even as the latter rain and separated them as the 144000.  The incense began to be offered when the Lamb broke the 7th seal.[147] However, the true temple is filled with smoke only after the 6 trumpets have passed and the 7th trumpet, the 3rd woe, is sounded.[148] The 7th trumpet is sounded when the appointed number of martyr witnesses are completed.[149] This means that the Son will begin the work of atonement to purify the true temple only after the 7th trumpet is sounded.[150] In other words, it means that the atonement for the true temple will be possible only after the 7th trumpet is sounded.  When being caught up into the air is finished after the 1st half of the 70th week among the great tribulation[151], the Lamb who is the eternal High Priest, atones for the true temple. At this time, no one can enter the true temple.[152] In the 2nd half of the 70th week, while the Son washes the true temple with His blood[153], annihilating the possibility to sin remaining in the true temple[154], the 7 golden bowl plagues are poured out on the earth.[155] After the 7 plagues are poured out, Babylon the great city where the blood of the saints was shed, is burned by the beast.[156] After that, the Son who came to the air and completed the atonement for the true temple, comes down even to the earth[157] with His heavenly army to atone for Hades the altar of burnt offering.[158] (Considering that the angels can enter into the true temple only after the 7 plagues are over[159], I think that even the 7 plagues seem to be included in the atonement for the true temple.)

[1] Rev.14:1 I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him a number, one hundred forty-four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads.

[2] Rev.7:2 I saw another angel ascend from the sunrise, having the seal of the living God. He cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was given to harm the earth and the sea, saying, "Don't harm the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, until we have sealed the bondservants of our God on their foreheads!" I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred forty-four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the children of Israel:

[3] Rom.2:28 For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh; but he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit not in the letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.

[4] Is.56:6 Also the foreigners who join themselves to Yahweh, to minister to him, and to love the name of Yahweh, to be his servants, everyone who keeps the Sabbath from profaning it, and holds fast my covenant; even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted on my altar; for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.

[5] Rom.9:8 That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as a seed.

[6] Matt.1:1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. Abraham became the father of Isaac. Isaac became the father of Jacob. Jacob became the father of Judah and his brothers.

  Gen.3:15 I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel."

[7] Ruth.1:16 Ruth said, "Don't entreat me to leave you, and to return from following after you, for where you go, I will go; and where you lodge, I will lodge; your people shall be my people, and your God my God; where you die, will I die, and there will I be buried: Yahweh do so to me, and more also, if anything but death part you and me."

[8] Rom.11:11 I ask then, did they stumble that they might fall? May it never be! But by their fall salvation has come to the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy. Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fullness?

[9] Gen.22:17 that in blessing I will bless you, and in multiplying I will multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is on the seashore. Your seed will possess the gate of his enemies.

[10] Rom.3:1 Then what advantage does the Jew have? Or what is the profit of circumcision? Much in every way! Because first of all, they were entrusted with the oracles of God.

[11] Eph.2:1 You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the powers of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience; among whom we also all once lived in the lust of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.

[12] Gen.29:25 It happened in the morning that, behold, it was Leah. He said to Laban, "What is this you have done to me? Didn't I serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived me?" Laban said, "It is not done so in our place, to give the younger before the first born.

[13] Rev.19:7 Let us rejoice and be exceedingly glad, and let us give the glory to him. For the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his wife has made herself ready." It was given to her that she would array herself in bright, pure, fine linen: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.

[14] Gal.3:8 The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, "In you all the nations will be blessed." So then, those who are of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham.

[15] Gal.4:29 But as then, he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now. However what does the Scripture say? "Throw out the handmaid and her son, for the son of the handmaid will not inherit with the son of the free woman."

[16] Rom.11:28 Concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sake. But concerning the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sake. For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.

[17] Rom.11:15 For if the rejection of them is the reconciling of the world, what would their acceptance be, but life from the dead?

[18] Rom.11:1 I ask then, Did God reject his people? May it never be! For I also am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. God didn't reject his people, which he foreknew. Or don't you know what the Scripture says about Elijah? How he pleads with God against Israel: "Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have broken down your altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life." But how does God answer him? "I have reserved for myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal." Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

[19] Eph.2:11 Therefore remember that once you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called "uncircumcision" by that which is called "circumcision," (in the flesh, made by hands); that you were at that time separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ. For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of partition,

[20] Rom.3:29 Or is God the God of Jews only? Isn't he the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, since indeed there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith, and the uncircumcised through faith. Do we then nullify the law through faith? May it never be! No, we establish the law.

[21] Gen.18:18 seeing that Abraham has surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed in him? For I have known him, to the end that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of Yahweh, to do righteousness and justice; to the end that Yahweh may bring on Abraham that which he has spoken of him."

[22] Eph.2:12 that you were at that time separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.

[23] Deut.7:7 Yahweh didn't set his love on you, nor choose you, because you were more in number than any people; for you were the fewest of all peoples: but because Yahweh loves you, and because he would keep the oath which he swore to your fathers, has Yahweh brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

[24] Is.11:9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of Yahweh, as the waters cover the sea.

[25] Gal.3:26 For you are all sons of God, through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. If you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed and heirs according to promise.

[26] Rev.7:13 One of the elders answered, saying to me, "These who are arrayed in white robes, who are they, and where did they come from?" I told him, "My lord, you know." He said to me, "These are those who came out of the great oppression. They washed their robes, and made them white in the Lamb's blood.

[27] Matt.24:21 for then will be great oppression, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever will be. Unless those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved. But for the elect's sake, those days will be shortened.

[28] Heb.11:35 Women received their dead by resurrection. Others were tortured, not accepting their deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection. Others were tried by mocking and scourging, yes, moreover by bonds and imprisonment.

[29] 1Thess.4:16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with God's trumpet. The dead in Christ will rise first, then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. So we will be with the Lord forever.

[30] Rev.20:5 The rest of the dead didn't live until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over these, the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will reign with him one thousand years.

[31] Rev.20:4 I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and such as didn't worship the beast nor his image, and didn't receive the mark on their forehead and on their hand. They lived, and reigned with Christ for the thousand years. The rest of the dead didn't live until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

[32] Gen.1:31 God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. There was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

  2Pet.3:8 But don't forget this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

[33] 1Cor.15:44 It is sown a natural(psookheekos:soulish) body; it is raised a spiritual(pnyoomatikos) body. There is a natural body and there is also a spiritual body.

[34] Rev.19:8 It was given to her that she would array herself in bright, pure, fine linen: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.

  2Cor.5:4 For indeed we who are in this tent do groan, being burdened; not that we desire to be unclothed, but that we desire to be clothed, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

[35] Lev.23:39 However on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruits of the land, you shall keep the feast of Yahweh seven days: on the first day shall be a solemn rest, and on the eighth day shall be a solemn rest. You shall take on the first day the fruit of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before Yahweh your God seven days.

[36] Rev.14:1 I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him a number, one hundred forty-four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads.

[37] Rev.15:2 I saw something like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who overcame the beast, and his image, and the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God. They sang the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, "Great and marvelous are your works, Lord God, the Almighty; Righteous and true are your ways, you King of the nations.

[38] 1Cor.15:20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruits of those who are asleep.

[39] Rom.8:23 Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.

[40] John2:9 When the ruler of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and didn't know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the ruler of the feast called the bridegroom, and said to him, "Everyone serves the good wine first, and when the guests have drunk freely, then that which is worse. You have kept the good wine until now!"

[41] Hos.6:3 Let us acknowledge Yahweh. Let us press on to know Yahweh. As surely as the sun rises, Yahweh will appear. He will come to us like the rain, Like the spring rain that waters the earth."

  James5:7 Be patient therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receives the early and late rain. You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.

[42] Ex.15:1 Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to Yahweh, and said, "I will sing to Yahweh, for he has triumphed gloriously: The horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.

[43] Matt.24:30 and then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky. Then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory. He will send out his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.

[44] 1Thess.4:16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with God's trumpet. The dead in Christ will rise first, then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. So we will be with the Lord forever.

[45] Heb.11:4 By faith, Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he had testimony given to him that he was righteous, God bearing witness with respect to his gifts; and through it he, being dead, still speaks.

[46] Dan.7:17 These great animals, which are four, are four kings, who shall arise out of the earth.

[47] Dan.3:17 If it be [so], our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace; and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king. But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods, nor worship the golden image which you have set up.

[48] Rev.14:1 I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him a number, one hundred forty-four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads.

[49] Rev.7:9 After these things I saw, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, out of every nation and of all tribes, peoples, and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands.

[50] Rev.15:2 I saw something like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who overcame the beast, and his image, and the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God.

[51] Rev.17:5 And on her forehead a name was written, "MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."

[52] Rev.14:4 These are those who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed by Jesus from among men, the first fruits to God and to the Lamb. In their mouth was found no lie, for they are blameless.

[53] Rev.7:14 I told him, "My lord, you know." He said to me, "These are those who came out of the great oppression. They washed their robes, and made them white in the Lamb's blood.

[54] Rev.20:4 I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and such as didn't worship the beast nor his image, and didn't receive the mark on their forehead and on their hand. They lived, and reigned with Christ for the thousand years. The rest of the dead didn't live until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

[55] Rev.14:1 I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him a number, one hundred forty-four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads. I heard a sound from heaven, like the sound of many waters, and like the sound of a great thunder. The sound which I heard was like that of harpers playing on their harps.

[56] Rev.14:3 They sing a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the one hundred forty-four thousand, those who had been redeemed out of the earth.

[57] Rev.15:2 I saw something like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who overcame the beast, and his image, and the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God. They sang the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, "Great and marvelous are your works, Lord God, the Almighty; Righteous and true are your ways, you King of the nations.

[58] Rev.7:2 I saw another angel ascend from the sunrise, having the seal of the living God. He cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was given to harm the earth and the sea, saying, "Don't harm the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, until we have sealed the bondservants of our God on their foreheads!" I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred forty-four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the children of Israel:

[59] Rev.7:13 One of the elders answered, saying to me, "These who are arrayed in white robes, who are they, and where did they come from?" I told him, "My lord, you know." He said to me, "These are those who came out of the great oppression. They washed their robes, and made them white in the Lamb's blood. Therefore they are before the throne of God, they serve him day and night in his temple. He who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them.

[60] Rev.13:8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been killed.

[61] Rev.13:16 He causes all, the small and the great, the rich and the poor, and the free and the slave, so that they should give them marks on their right hand, or on their forehead; and that no one would be able to buy or to sell, unless he has that mark, the name of the beast or the number of his name.

[62] Phil.2:8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, yes, the death of the cross. Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name; that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

[63] Matt.28:18 Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. Go, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

  Acts2:38 Peter said to them, "Repent, and be baptized, everyone of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

[64] Heb.11:35 Women received their dead by resurrection. Others were tortured, not accepting their deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.

[65] Rev.14:4 These are those who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed by Jesus from among men, the first fruits to God and to the Lamb.

[66] 1Cor.15:51 Behold, I tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed.

[67] Rev.19:8 It was given to her that she would array herself in bright, pure, fine linen: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.

[68] Rev.22:2 in the midst of its street. On this side of the river and on that was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruits, yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. There will be no curse any more. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants serve him. They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.

[69] Rev.9:13 The sixth angel sounded. I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God, saying to the sixth angel who had one trumpet, "Free the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates!"

[70] 2Thess.2:3 Let no one deceive you in any way. For it will not be, unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of destruction, he who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or that is worshiped; so that he sits as God in the temple of God, setting himself up as God.

[71] Dan.9:27 He shall make a firm covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week(view2:for half of the week) he shall cause the sacrifice and the offering to cease; and on the wing of abominations [shall come] one who makes desolate; and even to the full end, and that determined, shall [wrath] be poured out on the desolate.

[72] Matt.24:15 "When, therefore, you see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

  Matt.24:21 for then will be great oppression, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever will be. Unless those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved. But for the elect's sake, those days will be shortened.

[73] Job1:8 Yahweh said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant, Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil." Then Satan answered Yahweh, and said, "Does Job fear God for nothing? Haven't you made a hedge around him, and around his house, and around all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. But put forth your hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will renounce you to your face."

[74] Rev.14:3 They sing a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the one hundred forty-four thousand, those who had been redeemed out of the earth. These are those who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed by Jesus from among men, the first fruits to God and to the Lamb.

[75] Rev.12:9 The great dragon was thrown down, the old serpent, he who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world. He was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now is come the salvation, the power, and the Kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ; for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them before our God day and night. They overcame him because of the Lamb's blood, and because of the word of their testimony. They didn't love their life, even to death.

[76] Rev.6:9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been killed for the Word of God, and for the testimony of the Lamb which they had. They cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, Master, the holy and true, do you not judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?" A long white robe was given them. They were told that they should rest yet for a while, until their fellow servants and their brothers, who would also be killed even as they were, completed their course.

[77] Rev.9:1 The fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from the sky fallen to the earth. The key to the pit of the abyss was given to him. He opened the pit of the abyss, and smoke went up out of the pit, like the smoke from a burning furnace. The sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke from the pit. Then out of the smoke came forth locusts on the earth, and power was given to them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

[78] Rev.12:12 Therefore rejoice, heavens, and you who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and to the sea, because the devil has gone down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has but a short time."

[79] Rev.13:1 Then I stood on the sand of the sea. I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads. On his horns were ten crowns, and on his heads, blasphemous names.

[80] Heb.11:34 quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, grew mighty in war, and turned to flight armies of aliens. Women received their dead by resurrection. Others were tortured, not accepting their deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.

[81] Rom.8:17 and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed toward us.

[82] Rev.20:5 The rest of the dead didn't live until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over these, the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will reign with him one thousand years.

[83] Luke19:17 "He said to him, 'Well done, you good servant! Because you were found faithful in a very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.' "The second came, saying, 'Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.' "He said to him also, 'You also are to be over five cities.'

[84] Rev.20:7 And after the thousand years, Satan will be released from his prison, and he will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the war; the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

[85] 1Pet.1:12 To them it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to you, did they minister these things, which now have been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent out from heaven; which things angels desire to look into. Therefore, prepare your minds for action, be sober and set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ --

[86] Luke20:35 But those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage. For neither can they die any more, for they are like the angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.

[87] Rev.20:13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it. Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them. They were judged, each one according to his works. Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.

[88] 1Cor.15:25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy that will be abolished is death.

[89] Heb.2:5 For he didn't subject the world to come, whereof we speak, to angels.

[90] Rev.20:7 And after the thousand years, Satan will be released from his prison, and he will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the war; the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

[91] Rev.20:9 They went up over the breadth of the earth, and surrounded the camp of the saints, and the beloved city. Fire came down out of heaven from God, and devoured them.

[92] Rev.12:11 They overcame him because of the Lamb's blood, and because of the word of their testimony. They didn't love their life, even to death.

[93] John4:34 Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to accomplish his work.

[94] Rev.14:6 I saw an angel flying in mid heaven, having an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on the earth, and to every nation, tribe, language, and people. He said with a loud voice, "Fear the Lord, and give him glory; for the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and the springs of waters!" Another, a second angel, followed, saying, "Babylon the great has fallen, which has made all the nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality." Another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a great voice, "If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead, or on his hand, he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is prepared unmixed in the cup of his anger. He will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb. The smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever. They have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name. Here is the patience of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus."

[95] Rev.14:14 I looked, and behold, a white cloud; and on the cloud one sitting like a son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. Another angel came out from the temple, crying with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud, "Send forth your sickle, and reap; for the hour to reap has come; for the harvest of the earth is ripe!" He who sat on the cloud thrust his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped. Another angel came out from the temple which is in heaven. He also had a sharp sickle. Another angel came out from the altar, he who has power over fire, and he called with a great voice to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, "Send forth your sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for the earth's grapes are fully ripe!" The angel thrust his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vintage of the earth, and threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. The winepress was trodden outside of the city, and blood came out from the winepress, even to the bridles of the horses, as far as one thousand six hundred stadia.

[96] Rev.8:1 When he opened the seventh seal, there followed a silence in heaven for about half an hour. I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.

[97] Rev.8:1 When he opened the seventh seal, there followed a silence in heaven for about half an hour. I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them. Another angel came and stood over the altar, having a golden censer. Much incense was given to him, that he should add it to the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar which was before the throne. The smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God out of the angel's hand.

[98] Lev.16:12 He shall take a censer full of coals of fire from off the altar before Yahweh, and two handfuls of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the veil: and he shall put the incense on the fire before Yahweh, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is on the testimony, so that he will not die.

[99] Rev.15:5 After these things I looked, and the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened. The seven angels who had the seven plagues came out, clothed with pure, bright linen, and wearing golden sashes around their breasts. One of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever. The temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power. No one was able to enter into the temple, until the seven plagues of the seven angels would be finished.

[100] Rev.7:15 Therefore they are before the throne of God, they serve him day and night in his temple. He who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them. They will never be hungry, neither thirsty any more; neither will the sun beat on them, nor any heat; for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne shepherds them, and leads them to living springs of waters. God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."

[101] Heb.11:13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them and embraced them from afar, and having confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking after a country of their own. If indeed they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had enough time to return. But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.

  Heb.11:35 Women received their dead by resurrection. Others were tortured, not accepting their deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.

[102] Rev.12:6 The woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that there they may nourish her one thousand two hundred sixty days.

  Rev.12:14 Two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, so that she might be nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

[103] 1Thess.4:16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with God's trumpet. The dead in Christ will rise first, then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. So we will be with the Lord forever.

[104] Zech.12:8 In that day Yahweh will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem. He who is feeble among them at that day will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the angel of Yahweh before them.

[105] Rev.11:3 I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth. These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands, standing before the Lord of the earth. If anyone desires to harm them, fire proceeds out of their mouth and devours their enemies. If anyone desires to harm them, he must be killed in this way. These have the power to shut up the sky, that it may not rain during the days of their prophecy. They have power over the waters, to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every plague, as often as they desire.

[106] Luke12:47 That servant, who knew his lord's will, and didn't prepare, nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes, but he who didn't know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whoever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom they deposit much, of him will they ask more.

[107] John14:12 Most assuredly I tell you, he who believes in me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these will he do; because I am going to my Father.

[108] Rev.14:1 I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him a number, one hundred forty-four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads.

[109] Rev.7:9 After these things I saw, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, out of every nation and of all tribes, peoples, and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands.

[110] Rev.4:6 Before the throne was something like a sea of glass, like a crystal. In the midst of the throne, and around the throne were four living creatures full of eyes before and behind.

[111] Rev.7:14 I told him, "My lord, you know." He said to me, "These are those who came out of the great oppression. They washed their robes, and made them white in the Lamb's blood.

[112] Rev.22:4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.

[113] Rev.14:3 They sing a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the one hundred forty-four thousand, those who had been redeemed out of the earth.

[114] Rev.14:4 These are those who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed by Jesus from among men, the first fruits to God and to the Lamb.

[115] Rev.7:14 I told him, "My lord, you know." He said to me, "These are those who came out of the great oppression. They washed their robes, and made them white in the Lamb's blood.

[116] Rev.15:2 I saw something like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who overcame the beast, and his image, and the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God. They sang the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, "Great and marvelous are your works, Lord God, the Almighty; Righteous and true are your ways, you King of the nations.

[117] Rev.14:1 I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him a number, one hundred forty-four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads.

[118] Rev.14:4 These are those who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed by Jesus from among men, the first fruits to God and to the Lamb. In their mouth was found no lie, for they are blameless. I saw an angel flying in mid heaven, having an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on the earth, and to every nation, tribe, language, and people.

[119] Rev.14:14 I looked, and behold, a white cloud; and on the cloud one sitting like a son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.

[120] Rev.20:4 I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and such as didn't worship the beast nor his image, and didn't receive the mark on their forehead and on their hand. They lived, and reigned with Christ for the thousand years. The rest of the dead didn't live until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

[121] Rom.8:23 Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.

[122] Rom.Rom.8:19 For the creation waits with eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed.

[123] 1Cor.15:23 But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then those who are Christ's, at his coming. Then the end comes, when he will deliver up the Kingdom to God, even the Father; when he will have abolished all rule and all authority and power.

[124] Rev.20:6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over these, the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will reign with him one thousand years.

[125] Heb.11:35 Women received their dead by resurrection. Others were tortured, not accepting their deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection. Others were tried by mocking and scourging, yes, moreover by bonds and imprisonment. They were stoned. They were sawn apart. They were tempted. They were slain with the sword. They went around in sheepskins, in goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, ill-treated

[126] Lev.16:12 He shall take a censer full of coals of fire from off the altar before Yahweh, and two handfuls of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the veil: and he shall put the incense on the fire before Yahweh, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is on the testimony, so that he will not die.

[127] Rev.8:1 When he opened the seventh seal, there followed a silence in heaven for about half an hour. I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them. Another angel came and stood over the altar, having a golden censer. Much incense was given to him, that he should add it to the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar which was before the throne. The smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God out of the angel's hand. The angel took the censer, and he filled it with the fire of the altar, and threw it on the earth. There followed thunders, sounds, lightnings, and an earthquake. The seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.

[128] Rev.21:4 He will wipe away from them every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more. The first things have passed away. He who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." He said, "Write, for these words of God are faithful and true."

[129] 1Pet.1:12 To them it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to you, did they minister these things, which now have been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent out from heaven; which things angels desire to look into. Therefore, prepare your minds for action, be sober and set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ --

[130] Rom.5:7 For one will hardly die for a righteous man. Yet perhaps for a righteous person someone would even dare to die. But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

[131] Acts2:38 Peter said to them, "Repent, and be baptized, everyone of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

[132] Rev.6:9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been killed for the Word of God, and for the testimony of the Lamb which they had. They cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, Master, the holy and true, do you not judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?" A long white robe was given them. They were told that they should rest yet for a while, until their fellow servants and their brothers, who would also be killed even as they were, completed their course.

[133] Rev.16:5 I heard the angel of the waters saying, "You are righteous, who are and who were, you Holy One, because you judged this way. For they poured out the blood of the saints and the prophets, and you have given them blood to drink. They deserve this." I heard the altar saying, "Yes, Lord God, the Almighty, true and righteous are your judgments."

[134] Lev.16:16 and he shall make atonement for the Holy Place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions, even all their sins; and so he shall do for the Tent of Meeting, that dwells with them in the midst of their uncleanness. There shall be no one in the Tent of Meeting when he enters to make atonement in the Holy Place, until he comes out, and has made atonement for himself and for his household, and for all the assembly of Israel.

  Rev.15:7 One of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever. The temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power. No one was able to enter into the temple, until the seven plagues of the seven angels would be finished.

[135] Rev.11:3 I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.

They have power over the waters, to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every plague, as often as they desire.

[136] 1Kin.8:1 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers' [houses] of the children of Israel, to king Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh out of the city of David, which is Zion.

[137] Zech.8:3 Thus says Yahweh: "I have returned to Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. Jerusalem shall be called 'The City of Truth;' and the mountain of Yahweh of Hosts, 'The Holy Mountain.'"

[138] 1Thess.4:16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with God's trumpet. The dead in Christ will rise first, then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. So we will be with the Lord forever.

[139] Rev.12:13 When the dragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child. Two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, so that she might be nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. The serpent spewed water out of his mouth after the woman like a river, that he might cause her to be carried away by the stream.

[140] Rev.13:15 It was given to him to give breath to it, to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause as many as wouldn't worship the image of the beast to be killed. He causes all, the small and the great, the rich and the poor, and the free and the slave, so that they should give them marks on their right hand, or on their forehead;

[141] Rev.7:3 saying, "Don't harm the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, until we have sealed the bondservants of our God on their foreheads!" I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred forty-four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the children of Israel:

  Rev.14:1 I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him a number, one hundred forty-four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads.

[142] Rev.11:3 I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.

[143] Zech.12:8 In that day Yahweh will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem. He who is feeble among them at that day will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the angel of Yahweh before them.

  Zech.12:6 In that day I will make the chieftains of Judah like a pan of fire among wood, and like a flaming torch among sheaves; and they will devour all the surrounding peoples, on the right hand and on the left; and Jerusalem will yet again dwell in their own place, even in Jerusalem.

[144] Rom.8:17 and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed toward us.

  Luke19:17 "He said to him, 'Well done, you good servant! Because you were found faithful in a very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.' "The second came, saying, 'Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.' "He said to him also, 'You also are to be over five cities.'

[145] Luke19:24 He said to those who stood by, 'Take the mina away from him, and give it to him who has the ten minas.' "They said to him, 'Lord, he has ten minas!' 'For I tell you that to everyone who has, will more be given; but from him who doesn't have, even that which he has will be taken away from him.

[146] Luke12:47 That servant, who knew his lord's will, and didn't prepare, nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes, but he who didn't know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whoever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom they deposit much, of him will they ask more.

There shall be no one in the Tent of Meeting when he enters to make atonement in the Holy Place, until he comes out, and has made atonement for himself and for his household, and for all the assembly of Israel.

[151] Matt.24:20 Pray that your flight will not be in the winter, nor on a Sabbath, for then will be great oppression, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever will be. Unless those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved. But for the elect's sake, those days will be shortened.

[153] Heb.9:11 But Christ having come as a high priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation, nor yet through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, entered in once for all into the Holy Place, having obtained eternal redemption.

[154] Col.1:20 and through him to reconcile all things to himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross. Through him, I say, whether things on the earth, or things in the heavens.

[156] Rev.17:16 The ten horns which you saw, and the beast, these will hate the prostitute, and will make her desolate, and will make her naked, and will eat her flesh, and will burn her utterly with fire.

[157] Rev.19:19 I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him who sat on the horse, and against his army. The beast was taken, and with him the false prophet who worked the signs in his sight, with which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. They two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.

[158] Lev.16:18 "He shall go out to the altar that is before Yahweh and make atonement for it, and shall take some of the bull's blood, and some of the goat's blood, and put it on the horns of the altar round about. He shall sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and make it holy from the uncleanness of the children of Israel. "When he has made an end of atoning for the Holy Place, the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, he shall present the live goat.
