THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST
CHAPTER 14
PART I
2
THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST

• Revelation 12 flows into Chapter
  13 and Chapter 14
• IT IS A CONTINUAL
  FLOWING SCENE
• Revelation 12 shows
•  The eternal battle between Satan and Gods
  People especially Israel (national and
  spiritual and the church)
• Revelation 13 shows
• Exactly how all of this hatred will culminate in
  the final 7 years of mans history with an
  antichrist - Satan will fill an empire , a
  man and a religious system represented by a man
  to deceive the world and influence world affairs.
  This deception will culminate in an all out
  attack on the the TWO WITNESSES Israel and the
  Church. This unholy alliance Satan and two
  men make up a false Trinity. All represented
  by mans number 666 (Gods number 777)
• Revelation 14 shows The ultimate and complete
  triumph, of those who are faithful to Jesus
  Christ, over the world and the attacks of the
  antichrist.
• READ REVELATION 141-5

THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST

• NOTE the juxtapositions of Chapter 14 with
  Chapter 13.
• Chapter 13 ends with an apparently victorious
  ANTICHRIST.
• Chapter 14 begins with an OBVIOUSLY victorious
  People of God!
• Chapter 14 continues and ends with a complete
  victory for Gods people and a complete loss for
  the unbelieving world! (Next week!)

THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST

• SOME UNDERSTANDING of
  CHAPTER 141-5
• The Key elements
  of interpretation
• The Lamb standing on Mount Zion Jesus
• Mount Zion - Heaven (Jerusalem)
• The 144,000 the first fruits - Second
  time we have seen them (Chapter 7) Both
  instances describe the SAME event.
• (These are two
  different vignettes.)
• 12 x 12 x 1000 - 12 number of disciples
  (all Jews) and number of Tribes of Israel 1000
  equals a large, unspecific number ( A day with
  the Lord is like a thousand years) THE
  PROMISED REMNANT OF ISRAEL Jews who are
  believers in Jesus Christ as Messiah and Lord!
• V.2 and V.3 The sound from heaven like a roar
  of rushing waterTHEY sang a new song - This
  NOW is the CHURCH Jew and Gentile bought by the
  blood (this lines up perfectly with Chapter 7)
• THE 144,000 and the roar of the multitudes they
  are one in the same now These are the Two
  Witnesses in Heaven raptured shortly after the
  antichrist requires all to take his mark!

THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST

• MORE - juxtapositions

• His Name and His Fathers Name - written on
  their Foreheads sealed (Ephesians 113), they
  did not take the mark of the beast!
• Eph 113-14
• And you also were included in Christ when you
  heard the word of truth, the gospel of your
  salvation. Having believed, you were marked in
  him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit,
• who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance
  until the redemption of those who are God's
  possession-- to the praise of his glory.
• Without blame as opposed to the antichrist
  and his followers the people of the world
• Without a lie in them as opposed to the
  total system of lies presented by the antichrist
  and accepted by the unbelieving world. Rev. 13
  and II Thess. 2

THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST

• MORE - juxtapositions

• Did not defile themselves
  with women
• 1. Sexual impurity - generally speaking ( Eph
  53-7, Galatians 519-21, I Corinthians 6 9-20,
  Rev 218)
• 2. Biblical purity religiously speaking (as
  opposed to submitting to the Great Harlot of
  Chapter 17)

7

• Rev 71-17
• 1 After this (After the 6th seal which
  corresponds to the time of the rapture!) I saw
  four angels standing at the four corners of the
  earth, holding back the four winds of the earth
  to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or
  on the sea or on any tree.
• 2 Then I saw another angel coming up from the
  east, having the seal of the living God. He
  called out in a loud voice to the four angels who
  had been given power to harm the land and the
  sea
• 3 "Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees
  until we put a seal on the foreheads of the
  servants of our God."
• 4 Then I heard the number of those who
  were sealed 144,000 from all the tribes of
  Israel.
• 9 After this I looked and there before me was a
  great multitude that no one could count, from
  every nation, tribe, people and language,
  standing before the throne and in front of the
  Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were
  holding palm branches in their hands.
• 10 And they cried out in a loud voice "Salvation
  belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and
  to the Lamb."
• 11 All the angels were standing around the throne
  and around the elders and the four living
  creatures. They fell down on their faces before
  the throne and worshiped God,
• 12 saying "Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom and
  thanks and honor and power and strength be to our
  God for ever and ever. Amen!"
• 13 Then one of the elders asked me, "These in
  white robes-- who are they, and where did they
  come from?"
• 14 I answered, "Sir, you know." And he said,
  "These are they who have come out of the great
  tribulation they have washed their robes and
  made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST

• 
  REVELATION 143
• AND THEY SANG A NEW SONG VERSE
  3
• WHICH NO ONE (KJV no man) (no unbeliever)
  
• could learn
• A song of praise, a song of redemption
• To appreciate fully the songs of Zion
  to understand the language of praise one must
  himself have been redeemed by the blood of the
  Lamb! One must have known what it is to be a
  sinner under the condemnation of a holy God he
  must have known what it is to be in danger of
  eternal Hell he must have experienced the bliss
  of forgiveness, and a new beginning with His
  creator or he can never understand, in its
  deepest sense, the songs sung by the redeemed.
