“And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood
on the mount Sion, and with him an
hundred forty and four thousand, having
his Father's name written in their
foreheads. And I heard a voice from
heaven, as the voice of many waters, and
as the voice of a great thunder: and I
heard the voice of harpers harping with
their harps.” (Revelation 14:1-2)
The 144,000 have been martyred
by the Antichrist - Rev. 13:7
“And it was given unto him
to make war with the saints, and to
overcome them: and power was
given him over all kindreds, and
tongues, and nations. “ (Revelation
13:7)

The 144,000:
1.They are Jews
2.12,000 of each of the 12 Tribes of Israel
3.They are virgins
4.They follow the Lamb where ever He goes
5.These are the first fruits saved from
among men in beginning of the
Tribulation
6.In them was no guile (deceit) and were
morally blameless
“These are they which were
not defiled with women; for they
are virgins. These are they which
follow the Lamb whithersoever he
goeth. These were redeemed from
among men, being the firstfruits
unto God and to the Lamb. And in
their mouth was found no guile: for
they are without fault before the
throne of God.” (Revelation 14:4-5)
The terrible events of the last "Bowl (Vial)
Judgments" are about to rapidly be brought about as
the Tribulation is coming to a close. At this point in
the Tribulation those that are left on earth are the
most hardened of sinners having over and over
rejected the message of the grace of God. Still God in
loving His creation, sends yet another messenger, an
angel from heaven to warn men of coming judgment
and destruction. (Rev. 14:6)
And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven,
having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell
on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue,
and people, Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give
glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and
worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and
the fountains of waters. (Revelation 14:6-7)
And there followed another angel, saying,
Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she
made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her
fornication. And the third angel followed them, saying
with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his
image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his
hand, (Revelation 14:8-9)
Babylon is fallen, is fallen!!
“The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God,
which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his
indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in
the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever:
and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and
his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.”
(Revelation 14:10-11)
THE PROMISE AND ENCOURAGEMENT TO THE SAINTS.
“Here is the patience of the saints: here
are they that keep the commandments of God,
and the faith of Jesus. “ (Revelation 14:12)
“And I heard a voice from heaven
saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead
which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea,
saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their
labours; and their works do follow them.”
(Revelation 14:13)
“And I looked, and behold a white
cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like
unto the Son of man, having on his head
a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp
sickle.” (Revelation 14:14)
• This is the last time Jesus is called the “Son of Man.”
• He comes in all His power as the King of Kings wearing the golden
crown and with a sharp sickle in his hand.
• As recorded in Acts 1:9 Jesus descended into heaven on a cloud and
the two angels who appeared told the disciple that Jesus would
likewise as they saw Him leave return. (Acts 1:10-11)
Jeremiah predicted this event in
which Babylon would be destroyed
saying “For thus saith the LORD of
hosts, the God of Israel; The daughter
of Babylon is like a threshingfloor, it is
time to thresh her: yet a little while,
and the time of her harvest shall
come.” (Jeremiah 51:33)
Joel predicted the reaping of the unsaved from the
earth when Christ returns at the end of the Tribulation
“Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather
yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to
come down, O LORD. Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the
valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round
about. Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down;
for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great.
Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD
is near in the valley of decision. The sun and the moon shall be
darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining. The LORD also
shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the
heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his
people, and the strength of the children of Israel.” (Joel 3:11-16)
This is the
rapture
of the unsaved!
God will now begin to reap the tares, which
are the unsaved, from the earth. These tares are
the false religions, churches, cults and individuals
who have deceptively used God’s name to
worship and serve Satan. (Matt. 13:25-39, 24:4142) The false religious systems of the world and
the Antichrist will be forever destroyed.
This angel
from from
the
Tribulation
Temple.
“And another angel came out
of the temple, crying with a loud
voice to him that sat on the cloud,
Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the
time is come for thee to reap; for the
harvest of the earth is ripe.”
The
Tribulation
(Revelation 14:15)
Temple
“And he that sat on the
cloud thrust in his sickle on
the earth; and the earth was
reaped. And another angel
came out of the temple which
is in heaven, he also having a
sharp sickle. “ (Revelation
14:16-17)
The angel
comes from
the temple in
heaven.
It is Christ that removes those who
rejected Him from the earth.
Jesus said in Matthew 13:41-42,
“The Son of man shall send forth his
angels, and they shall gather out of his
kingdom all things that offend, and
them which do iniquity; And shall cast
them into a furnace of fire: there shall be
wailing and gnashing of teeth.”
(Matthew 13:41-42)
This is the event that Revelation 14:1720 is revealing.
“And another angel came out from
the altar, which had power over fire; and
cried with a loud cry to him that had the
sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp
sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine
of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.”
(Revelation 14:18)
“This last angel comes from the altar, having
power over fire and cries to the angel with the sickle to
thrust it in and reap the vine of the earth. The
significance of this angel having power over fire is seen in
that the Lord predicted that the final judgment would be
of fire.”
“And the angel thrust in his
sickle into the earth, and
gathered the vine of the earth,
and cast it into the great
winepress of the wrath of God. “
(Revelation 14:19)
“And the winepress was trodden
without the city, and blood came out of
the winepress, even unto the horse
bridles, by the space of a thousand and
six hundred furlongs.” (Revelation 14:20)
