These are they that came out of Great Tribulation The End of Revelation 7th Chapter 4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousands of all the tribes of the children of Israel. 5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand. 6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nephthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand. 7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand. 8 Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand. Note: This number 144,000 is a symbolic number representing all the tribes of Israel, that is, spiritual Israel. This is a symbolic number. It also says that is was a number no man could number in verse 9. In James 1:1, he called the church of God 12 tribes; He called the church by its symbolic description. The Church has become the New Israel of God, the New Jerusalem, The Spiritual Jews; Read Romans 2:28, 29. 28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: 29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God. They were clothed in white, white represents the righteousness of the saints. They had palms in their hands which is a symbol of praise. (Remember Christ triumphant entry into Jerusalem) John 12:12, 13. On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 13 Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord. 9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; 10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. 11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, 12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen. Now this is a worship service, a fellowship meeting, convocation, and a camp meeting. We see the ministry, and elders, and the four beasts which represent the redeemed of all ages fall before the throne on their faces, praising and worshipping God. When God’s people come together it ignite praise, and glory. 13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? 14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, these are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. Where is God’s Throne? God’s Throne is in the midst of his people (His Church). Revelation 22:1-3 God’s Throne is in the heart of his people They shall serve him day and night There is no day and night in heaven. Revelation 21:23, 24 In his temple means in his church. There are no temples in heaven. Revelation 21:22 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. They shall hunger no more Taste and see that the Lord is good. When we have eaten of him we shall hunger no more. All our desires are satisfied. John 6:27-35 They shall neither thirst anymore. After drinking of the living water, you will never thirst again. John 4:7-15 Neither shall the sun light on them or any heat. The Lamb of God is their light and heat. Revelation 22:5 17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. Conclusion: We are (sealed) marked with God’s name in our foreheads: Revelation 22:1-6
