3 Faithful and True who tears the heaven

35 Where are the resurrected or transformed saints caught up?

by aparke 2023. 12. 24.

Then where is the air to which the saints are caught up? 

Where are the resurrected or transformed saints caught up?
Premise: I see the sealed 144000[1] as the 144000 firstfruits who are redeemed from among men[2], and I think that these are symbolized by the 2 witnesses.[3]
Air 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,
1Thess.4:17 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.
   Saints who are resurrected or transformed receive the LORD Jesus in the air and be with the LORD Jesus. The saints who are caught up into the air, will wait somewhere while the 7 golden bowl plagues are poured out on the earth, and when the Son comes again even to the earth, they may become members of the heavenly army and follow the Son.[4] Therefore, they may not remain in the air during the period when the 7 plagues are poured out on the earth.
Mount Zion 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.
   These sealed 144000 are the firstfruits who are redeemed from among men, the witnesses.[5] When even the firstfruits who are redeemed from among men come out, all the 3 kinds of firstfruits[6] are produced[7], and the appointed number of martyr witnesses comes to be completed as passing through the great tribulation of the 1st half of the 70th week.[8] Only then will the grain be harvested.[9] In other words, all the martyr witnesses are resurrected or transformed.
   The sealing begins before the 4 winds are released[10], before the beasts come up.[11] The sealed 144000 firstfruits who are redeemed from among men, will proclaim the eternal gospel for the 42 months of the beast's reign[12], that is, 1260 days of the 1st half of the 70th week.[13] Immediately after explaining the 144000 witnesses standing on Mount Zion, the proclamation of the eternal gospel and the harvest of grain appear. It means that the grain is harvested[14] after the 144000, that is, the 2 witnesses proclaim[15] the eternal gospel.[16]
   The 144000 will be completed at least before the 5th trumpet is sounded. The 5th trumpet is the 1st woe[17] that only harms those who have not been sealed.[18] Those who have been sealed will avoid this woe, which means that those who have been sealed have come out before this woe begins. The 4 angels who have held the 4 winds until the sealing is finished[19] are released after the 6th trumpet is sounded.[20] (There may be an opinion that the 4 winds that were held, are the 4 angels that were bound at Euphrates.) When the 4 angels are released, the beasts will come up[21] after a while[22], and the earth and the sea will be harmed.[23] The beasts cannot come up because the 144000, that is, the 2 witnesses who must fight the beasts have not yet been established. Before the sounding of the 6th trumpet, the sealing must be finished and the 144000 firstfruits who are redeemed from among men, must be completed.
   After the scene of the reign of the beast in Revelation 13 is over, in Revelation 14, the 144000 standing on Mount Zion, the proclamation of the eternal gospel, and the harvest of grain appear one after another. Since the scene of the 144000 comes before the scene of the harvest, there may be an opinion that the 144000 standing on Mount Zion here is viewd as the 144000 witnesses before the 1st resurrection takes place. If so, Mount Zion here will have the meaning of the realm of God[24] placed in Hades, and after the 1st resurrection, the 144000 will stand on the sea of glass like other martyr witnesses.
   Of course, some may view this scene of the sealed 144000 witnesses standing with the Lamb on Mount Zion as a scene after the martyr witnesses were resurrected or transformed and caught up into the air. It is the view that sees the scene about the eternal gospel and the harvest that immediately follow, as the scene that recalls what the Lamb accomplished through these 144000 before the 1st resurrection takes place. If so, these 144000 witnesses who have been sealed may prepare for the harvest by proclaiming the eternal gospel and may stand on Mount Zion after the harvest has taken place.
   Zion is Jerusalem where the temple is located[25], and is a word used to refer to the temple where God resides.[26] That is, the place where the throne where God has placed His Name, is Zion.[27] Zion was Jerusalem with the temple building, but the Son came in the flesh and became the temple, so the Son became Zion.[28] After the saints are purified by the blood of the Son, God the Holy Spirit comes into the flesh of the saints in the Name of the Son[29], so the saints who have God the Holy Spirit become Zion.[30] Zion also refers to the new Jerusalem[31], the most holy place to be placed in the 1000-year kingdom.[32] In any case, the true Zion, the throne of God, where the Name rules over the creation world is placed, is in the heaven of angels[33], and the temple building placed on the earth was merely a model and shadow of Zion in heaven.[34] Therefore, when we say Zion, we can think of it as referring to the throne on which God has placed his Name.
   Mount Zion in the north is the city of God.[35] It is the mountain where the throne that Helel(Lucifer) tried to ascend, is located.[36] The throne of God, supported by the cherubim shown to Ezekiel[37], also came from the north.[38] The saints who are caught up into the air, especially the 2 witnesses, the 144000 firstfruits who are redeemed from among men, come to stand with the Lamb on Mount Zion.[39] That is, they come to stand before the throne. The sea of glass is also before the throne.[40] This Mt. Zion may not be a separate area from the sea of glass.
   Among the numerous martyr witnesses in history, the 144000 are expressed as standing on Mount Zion separately. Perhaps it is because they proclaim the eternal gospel around the 70th week or so. In other words, this is because the Book of Revelation is the record about the 70th week, and these 144000, the 2 witnesses, proclaim the eternal gospel of the 70th week. Put differently, if the Book of Revelation had not been recorded about the events around the 70th week or so, God would not have explained this 144000 only which is no different from other martyr witnesses.
Sea of glass 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.
   The sea of glass is the waters above the expanse[41], and is also symbolized by the laver or the bronze sea.[42] The expanse[43] and the waters under the expanse[44] are also symbolized by the bronze altar of burnt offering, and its substance is Hades. Just as the people of Israel sang the song of Moses across the red sea after escaping Pharaoh[45], the people of God who have been resurrected or transformed sing the song of the Lamb across the sea of glass after escaping Satan.
   I don't know if the 144000 firstfruits who are redeemed from among men on Mount Zion in Revelation 14, will stand on the sea of glass together with the victors who overcame the beast standing on the sea of glass in Revelation 15. Both are those who overcame the great tribulation of the beast and passed, so it can be said that they will stand together. Or, there may be the view that they will not be together at this time, because not only their number of the firstfruits who are redeemed from among men is appointed as 144000, but also they are the final firstfruits who have received God the Holy Spirit who came even as the latter rain.[46] I am not sure if the new song sung by the 144000 firstfruits is also exactly the same song as the song of the Lamb sung by the victors who overcame the beast.
   Anyway, the 144000 firstfruits are also the martyr witnesses who overcame the beast. All the martyr witnesses are raised by the 1st resurrection. Whether it is the 144000 firstfruits who are redeemed from among men, or the martyr witnesses who overcame the beast, or the martyr witnesses who were martyred before the 70th week, all the martyr witnesses in the history of humankind will be raised to be with the LORD Jesus through the 1st resurrection. Whether standing on Mount Zion and prostrate before the throne, or standing on the sea of glass and prostrate before the throne, or whether Mount Zion or the sea of glass or the air, in fact, all are the place before the throne, in the end, all the martyr witnesses will come to bow down and worship the LORD Jesus.
   This does not mean that the 144000 is more valuable than other martyr witnesses. I'm not saying they will get more rewards. The greater the sacrifice[47], the greater the reward.[48] It cannot be said that the 144000 made a greater sacrifice than other martyr witnesses.[49] If there were no saints in the old testament age such as Abraham or David, there would be no saints in the new testament age such as Stephen or Paul. However, since the Book of Revelation is mostly written about the events around the reign of the beast in the 70th week, and the 144000 will perform the most brilliant work during the reign of the beast[50], the 144000 who fight smashing the beast forces are only emphasized more than the saints who received the firstfruits of the Spirit who are nourished from the beasts in the prepared place[51], or the martyr witnesses of the previous era.
   If we look at Revelation 7, before the 7th seal is broken, the 144000 saints are sealed[52], and immediately after that, a great multitude which no one could number sings praises to the Father and the Son.[53] These are the martyr witnesses coming out of the great tribulation, the tribulation[54] that has not been seen since the foundation of the world[55], never occurred since there was a nation until that time.[56] Therefore, these may be those who have overcome the beast. The 144000 saints who were sealed on their foreheads[57] are likely to be the 144000 with the names of the Father and the Son written on their foreheads in Revelation 14[58], and the saints who came out of the great tribulation, introducing after the 144000[59], are likely to be the victors standing on the sea of glass in Revelation 15.[60] Therefore, the 144000 firstfruits standing on Mount Zion are probably different from the saints who overcame the beast on the sea of glass. All the martyr witnesses will be raised through the 1st resurrection which is a better resurrection of life[61], but in Revelation 14, only 144000 martyr witnesses are shown, and in Revelation 15, only the victors other than the 144000 among the martyr witnesses who overcame the beast seem to be shown. The sea of ​​glass is before the throne.[62] Therefore, not only Mount Zion[63], but also the sea of ​​glass is before the throne.
   The 144000 firstfruits who are redeemed from among men will also escape the 7 plagues. Therefore, these 144000, like other martyr witnesses, can see Hades pouring out the fire of the 7 plagues from the sea of glass mixed with fire. If so, they would stand on Mount Zion with the Lamb and then stand again on the sea of glass. Perhaps the scene where they stood on Mount Zion with the Lamb may not be a scene that shows their resurrection or transformation. This may be a scene that explains the characteristics of the mission they will be carrying out for the 70th week. If so, they will not go to the sea of glass after passing through Mount Zion, but will go to the sea of glass together with other martyr witnesses from the beginning. Whether they pass through Mount Zion and go to the sea of glass, or whether all the martyr witnesses, including them, go to the sea of glass from the beginning, go through the air before going to the sea of glass, or whether the air itself refers to the sea of glass, anyway, the 1st resurrection takes place only once at the sounding of the 7th trumpet. After the sleeping saints are resurrected first, the surviving saints will be transformed and caught up together into the air. It means that the 144000 will not be resurrected or transformed first.
My view Air Mount Zion Mountain of congregation, in the uttermost parts of the north Sea of glass In front of the true throne
 When the 7th trumpet is sounded, the martyr witnesses are resurrected or transformed.[64] The resurrected or transformed witnesses are caught up in front of the throne[65] to avoid the 7 plagues that are poured out on the earth. The wedding feast may be held after the great Babylon prostitute is burned[66] and after the Son comes again to judge the enemies.[67] However, one question arises. That is, the LORD Jesus Himself is coming down from heaven.[68] If the LORD Jesus will call the martyr witnesses who will be resurrected or transformed before the true throne anyway, why did He say that He is coming down?
 I think that the LORD Jesus who is seated on the true throne, will come down into the air. In fact, the throne is where the LORD Jesus is. The throne is supported by the cherubim and is movable.[69] Whether there is a true throne in the heaven of angels or not, whether the LORD Jesus is seated on the throne or not, the fact that the LORD Jesus is the only King of the creation world does not change. All the creatures, whether angels or humans, live and die[70] at the command of the LORD Jesus.[71] If the LORD Jesus came down into the air, then that is the place where the throne is.
 I don't know whether the saints who are caught up into the air will go into the heaven of angels with the LORD Jesus during the 7 plagues pouring down on the earth, or will they remain in the air with the LORD Jesus who came down into the air. Because the atonement for the true temple is made during the pouring out of the 7 plagues[72], I believe that if the entire heaven of angels is the true temple, then no one can enter the heaven of angels.[73] However, I don't know if the entire heaven of angels is the true temple. Nor do I think that the resurrected or transformed martyr witnesses will remain in the air for the entire period of the 7 plagues of the 2nd half of the 70th week. If the entire heaven of angels is the true temple, I think that the angels would also probably be on the sea of glass. The martyr witnesses who have been resurrected or transformed will stand on Mount Zion or on the sea of glass anyway. They may even stay in the air. Then the air may be Mount Zion or the sea of glass.
 The LORD Jesus will come as the lightning comes from the east and flashes even to the west[74], and all the peoples of the earth will see the LORD Jesus comes on the clouds with power and great glory.[75] With the sound of a great trumpet, the martyr witnesses will be caught up into the air[76], and the 7 plagues will be poured out on the earth.
 But this is only part of the process of the return of the LORD Jesus. After pouring out the 7 golden bowl plagues, the LORD Jesus will come down even to the earth and judge the enemies.[77] The reason the LORD Jesus resurrects or transforms the martyr witnesses and catches them up into the air, is to gather His bride[78] before coming down even to the earth for judgment.[79] When the LORD Jesus comes even to the earth, I believe that the martyr witnesses who are clothed with the spiritual body after being resurrected or transformed, that is, the bride in fine linen, will come down with the LORD Jesus as the heavenly army.[80] If we look at this, the church, the bride of the LORD Jesus[81], seems to be resurrected or transformed to meet the LORD Jesus who has come again into the air, to come down to the earth together with the LORD Jesus to destroy the armies of the beast[82], and then to enter the 1000-year kingdom that the LORD Jesus accomplishes.

 



[1] 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:

[2] 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. Yahweh also will save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem not be magnified above Judah. 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.

[3] 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.

[4] Rev.19:13 He is clothed in a garment sprinkled with blood. His name is called "The Word of God." The armies which are in heaven followed him on white horses, clothed in white, pure, fine linen.

[5] 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. In their mouth was found no lie, for they are blameless.

[6] 1Cor.15:20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruits of those who are asleep.

[7] 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.

[8] 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.

[9] 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.

[10] Rev.7:1 After this, I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, so that no wind would blow on the earth, or on the sea, or on any tree. 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!"

[11] Dan.7:2 Daniel spoke and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the sky broke forth on the great sea. Four great animals came up from the sea, diverse one from another.

[12] Rev.11:2 Leave out the court which is outside of the temple, and don't measure it, for it has been given to the gentiles. They will tread the holy city under foot for forty-two months. 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.

[13] Rev.14:5 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.

[14] Rev.11:11 After the three and a half days, the breath of life from God entered into them, and they stood on their feet. Great fear fell on those who saw them. I heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up here!" They went up into heaven in the cloud, and their enemies saw them.

[15] Rev.10:8 The voice which I heard from heaven, again speaking with me, said, "Go, take the book which is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the land." I went to the angel, telling him to give me the little book. He said to me, "Take it, and eat it up. It will make your belly bitter, but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey." I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up. It was as sweet as honey in my mouth. When I had eaten it, my belly was made bitter. They told me, "You must prophesy again over many peoples, nations, languages, and kings."

[16] 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.

[17] Rev.9:12 The first woe is past. Behold, there are still two woes coming after this. The sixth angel sounded. I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God,

[18] 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.

  Rev.9:4 They were told that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only those men who don't have God's seal on their foreheads.

[19] Rev.7:1 After this, I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, so that no wind would blow on the earth, or on the sea, or on any tree.

[20] 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!" The four angels were freed who had been prepared for that hour and day and month and year, so that they would kill one third of mankind.

[21] Dan.7:2 Daniel spoke and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the sky broke forth on the great sea. Four great animals came up from the sea, diverse one from another.

  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.

[22] Rev.10:1 I saw a mighty angel coming down out of the sky, clothed with a cloud. A rainbow was on his head. His face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire. He had in his hand a little book open. He set his right foot on the sea, and his left on the land. He cried with a loud voice, as a lion roars. When he cried, the seven thunders uttered their voices.

[23] 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,

[24] Is.2:3 Many peoples shall go and say, "Come, let's go up to the mountain of Yahweh, To the house of the God of Jacob; And he will teach us of his ways, And we will walk in his paths. For out of Zion the law shall go forth, And the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem.

[25] Is.10:32 This very day shall he halt at Nob: he shakes his hand at the mountain of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.

[26] Is.2:3 Many peoples shall go and say, "Come, let's go up to the mountain of Yahweh, To the house of the God of Jacob; And he will teach us of his ways, And we will walk in his paths. For out of Zion the law shall go forth, And the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem.

  Ps.20:2 Send you help from the sanctuary, Grant you support from Zion,

  Lam.2:1 How has the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger! He has cast down from heaven to the earth the beauty of Israel, And hasn't remembered his footstool in the day of his anger.

[27] 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.'"

  Is.18:7 In that time shall a present be brought to Yahweh of Hosts [from] a people tall and smooth, even from a people awesome from their beginning onward, a nation that measures out and treads down, whose land the rivers divide, to the place of the name of Yahweh of Hosts, Mount Zion.

[28] John2:21 But he spoke of the temple of his body.

[29] John14:26 But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I said to you.

[30] Is.60:14 The sons of those who afflicted you shall come bending to you; and all those who despised you shall bow themselves down at the soles of your feet; and they shall call you The city of Yahweh, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

  1Cor.6:19 Or don't you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? You are not your own,

[31] Is.24:21 It shall happen in that day, that Yahweh will punish the host of the high ones on high, and the kings of the earth on the earth. They shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison; and after many days shall they be visited. Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed; for Yahweh of Hosts will reign on Mount Zion, and in Jerusalem; and before his elders shall be glory.

  Is.51:3 For Yahweh has comforted Zion; he has comforted all her waste places, and has made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of Yahweh; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.

  Is.62:1 For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her righteousness go forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burns. The nations shall see your righteousness, and all kings your glory, and you shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of Yahweh shall name. You shall also be a crown of beauty in the hand of Yahweh, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.

  Joel3:17 "So you will know that I am Yahweh, your God, Dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain. Then Jerusalem will be holy, And no strangers will pass through her any more.

  Mic.4:6 "In that day," says Yahweh, "I will assemble that which is lame, And I will gather that which is driven away, And that which I have afflicted; And I will make that which was lame a remnant, And that which was cast far off a strong nation: And Yahweh will reign over them on Mount Zion from then on, even forever.

[32] Rev.21:16 The city lies foursquare, and its length is as great as its breadth. He measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand twelve stadia. Its length, breadth, and height are equal.

  Rev.21:22 I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God, the Almighty, and the Lamb, are its temple.

  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, 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.

[33] Ps.99:1 Yahweh reigns! Let the peoples tremble. He sits enthroned among the cherubim. Let the earth be moved. Yahweh is great in Zion. He is high above all the peoples. Let them praise your great and awesome name. He is Holy!

  Ps.48:1 Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised, In the city of our God, in his holy mountain. Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, Is Mount Zion, on the north sides, The city of the great King.

  Ps.102:19 For he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary. From heaven, Yahweh saw the earth; To hear the groans of the prisoner; To free those who are condemned to death; That men may declare the name of Yahweh in Zion, And his praise in Jerusalem;

[34] Heb.8:5 who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, even as Moses was warned by God when he was about to make the tabernacle, for he said, "See, you shall make everything according to the pattern that was shown to you on the mountain."

[35] Ps.48:1 Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised, In the city of our God, in his holy mountain. Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, Is Mount Zion, on the north sides, The city of the great King.

[36] Is.14:12 How you are fallen from heaven, day-star, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, who laid the nations low! You said in your heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; and I will sit on the mountain of congregation, in the uttermost parts of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.

[37] 2Sam.22:11 He rode on a cherub, and did fly; Yes, he was seen on the wings of the wind.

  Ps.104:2 He covers himself with light as with a garment. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain. He lays the beams of his chambers in the waters. He makes the clouds his chariot. He walks on the wings of the wind.

[38] Ezek.1:4 I looked, and, behold, a stormy wind came out of the north, a great cloud, with flashing lightning, and a brightness round about it, and out of the midst of it as it were glowing metal, out of the midst of the fire. Out of the midst of it came the likeness of four living creatures. This was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man.

  Ezek.1:26 Above the expanse that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone; and on the likeness of the throne was a likeness as the appearance of a man on it above. I saw as it were glowing metal, as the appearance of fire within it round about, from the appearance of his loins and upward; and from the appearance of his loins and downward I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness round about him. As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of Yahweh. When I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of one that spoke.

[39] 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. In their mouth was found no lie, for they are blameless.

[40] 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.

[41] Gen.1:6 God said, "Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters." God made the expanse, and divided the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse, and it was so.

[42] 1Kin.7:23 He made the molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and the height of it was five cubits; and a line of thirty cubits compassed it round about. Under the brim of it round about there were buds which did compass it, for ten cubits, compassing the sea round about: the buds were in two rows, cast when it was cast. It stood on twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east; and the sea was set on them above, and all their hinder parts were inward. It was a handbreadth thick: and the brim of it was worked like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily: it held two thousand baths.

[43] Eph.6:12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

  Eph.2:2 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;

[44] Is.27:1 In that day Yahweh with his hard and great and strong sword will punish leviathan the swift serpent, and leviathan the crooked serpent; and he will kill the monster that is in the sea.

"He said to him also, 'You also are to be over five cities.'

[48] 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.

[49] 2Cor.11:23 Are they servants of Christ? (I speak as one beside himself) I am more so; in labors more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in deaths often. Five times from the Jews I received forty stripes minus one. Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I suffered shipwreck. I have been a night and a day in the deep. I have been in travels often, perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils from my countrymen, perils from the Gentiles, perils in the city, perils in the wilderness, perils in the sea, perils among false brothers; in labor and travail, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, and in cold and nakedness. Besides those things that are outside, there is that which presses on me daily, anxiety for all the assemblies. Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is caused to stumble, and I don't burn with indignation?

[50] Rev.11:2 Leave out the court which is outside of the temple, and don't measure it, for it has been given to the gentiles. They will tread the holy city under foot for forty-two months. 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.

[51] 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.

[52] 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:

[53] 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. They cried with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation be to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!"

[54] 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.

[55] 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.

[56] Dan.12:1 "At that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince who stands for the children of your people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone who shall be found written in the book. Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

[57] 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:

[58] 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.

[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.

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

[63] 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. 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.

[64] 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.

[65] 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.

[66] Rev.19:2 for true and righteous are his judgments. For he has judged the great prostitute, her who corrupted the earth with her sexual immorality, and he has avenged the blood of his servants at her hand." A second said, "Hallelujah! Her smoke goes up forever and ever."

[67] 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. He said to me, "Write, 'Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.'" He said to me, "These are true words of God."

  Rev.19:11 I saw the heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it is called Faithful and True. In righteousness he judges and makes war.

[69] Ezek.1:25 There was a voice above the expanse that was over their heads: when they stood, they let down their wings. Above the expanse that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone; and on the likeness of the throne was a likeness as the appearance of a man on it above. I saw as it were glowing metal, as the appearance of fire within it round about, from the appearance of his loins and upward; and from the appearance of his loins and downward I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness round about him. As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of Yahweh. When I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of one that spoke.

  Ps.18:9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet. He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he soared on the wings of the wind. He made darkness his hiding-place, his pavilion around him, Darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.

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.

[73] 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.

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.

They two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. The rest were killed with the sword of him who sat on the horse, the sword which came forth out of his mouth. All the birds were filled with their flesh.

[78] 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.
