The 144,000 of Israel Sealed
Rev 7
1 After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, that no wind might blow on earth or sea or against any tree. 2 Then I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, with the seal of the living God, and he called with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm earth and sea, 3 saying, "Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads." 4 And I heard the number of the sealed, 144,000, sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel:
5 12,000 from the tribe of Judah were sealed,
12,000 from the tribe of Reuben,
12,000 from the tribe of Gad,
6 12,000 from the tribe of Asher,
12,000 from the tribe of Naphtali,
12,000 from the tribe of Manasseh,
7 12,000 from the tribe of Simeon,
12,000 from the tribe of Levi,
12,000 from the tribe of Issachar,
8 12,000 from the tribe of Zebulun,
12,000 from the tribe of Joseph,
12,000 from the tribe of Benjamin were sealed.
A Great Multitude from Every Nation
9 After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 10 and crying out with a loud voice, "Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!" 11 And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12 saying, "Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen."
13 Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, "Who are these, clothed in white robes, and from where have they come?" 14 I said to him, "Sir, you know." And he said to me, "These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation. They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 "Therefore they are before the throne of God,
and serve him day and night in his temple;
and he who sits on the throne will shelter them with his presence.
16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore;
the sun shall not strike them,
nor any scorching heat.
17 For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd,
and he will guide them to springs of living water,
and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."
Hebrews 2:3-4 How Shall We Escape if We Neglect Such a Great Salvation? It was Declared at First by the Lord, & It was Attested To Us by Those who Heard, While God also Bore Witness by Signs & Wonders & various Miracles & by Gifts of the Holy Spirit Distributed According to His Will.
1 Thess 4:15-18
15 For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 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, and so we will always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.
John 16:33 I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world."
12 Against all that is Proud and Lofty,
Against all that is Lifted Up—and It Shall be Brought Low;
13 Against all the Cedars of Lebanon, Lofty and Lifted Up; and
Against all the Oaks of Bashan;
14 Against all the Lofty Mountains, and
Against all the Uplifted Hills;
15 Against every High Tower, and
Against every Fortified Wall;
16 Against all the Ships of Tarshish,
Against all the Beautiful Craft.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
16 The Whole Bible was given to us by Inspiration from God and is useful to 'Teach' us what is 'True' and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives; it straightens us out and helps us do what is right. 17 It is God's way of making us well prepared at every point, fully equipped to do good to everyone.
Nu 23:19
19 God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind.
Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?
The Coming of the Son of Man
Lk 21:25-28
25 "And there will be "Signs" in Sun and Moon and Stars, and on the Earth Distress of Nations in perplexity because of the Roaring of the Sea and the Waves, 26 People Fainting with Fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the World. For the Powers of the Heavens will be Shaken. 27 And then they will see the "Son of Man" Coming in a Cloud with Power and Great Glory. 28 Now when these things begin to take place, 'Straighten Up' and 'Raise your Heads', because your "Redemption" is drawing near."
Isa 26 Come My People, Enter Your Chambers and Shut Your Doors behind You; Hide Yourselves for a little while Until the Fury has Passed By. For Behold the Lord is Coming Out from His Place to Punish the Inhabitants of the Earth for their Iniquity and the Earth will Disclose the Blood Shed on it.

18 And the Idols Shall Utterly Pass Away. 19 And People Shall enter the Caves of the Rocks and the Holes of the Ground, from before the Terror of the Lord,
and from the Splendor of "His" Majesty", when "He" "Rises" to Terrify the Earth.
Isa 2:12-19 For the "Lord of Hosts" has a "Day"
1 John 3:1-3 See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 2 Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is. 3 And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure.
Psalm 17:13-15 13 Arise, O Lord! Confront him, subdue him! Deliver my soul from the wicked by your sword,
14 from men by your hand, O Lord, from men of the world whose portion is in this life. You fill their womb with treasure; they are satisfied with children, and they leave their abundance to their infants.
15 As for me, I shall behold your face in righteousness; when I awake, I shall be satisfied with your likeness.
Romans 13:11 Besides this You Know "The Time", that "The Hour" has Come for You to "Wake from Sleep". For "Salvation" is Nearer to Us Now than when We 1st Believed. The Night is Far Gone; the Day Is at Hand. So then let Us Cast Off the "Works of Darkness" & Put On the "Armor of Light".

Zep 1:7-2:1 The Day of the Lord Is Near 7 Be silent before the Lord God! For the Day of the Lord is Near; the Lord has Prepared a Sacrifice and Consecrated His Guests. 8 And on the Day of the Lord's Sacrifice— "I will Punish the Officials and the King's Sons and all who array themselves in Foreign Attire. 9 On That Dday I will Punish everyone who leaps over the threshold, and those who fill their Master's Housewith Violence and Fraud.
10 "On That Day," Declares the Lord,"a Cry will be Heard from the Fish Gate, a wail from the Second Quarter, a Loud Crash from the hills. 11 Wail, O inhabitants of the Mortar! For all the traders are no more; all who weigh out silver are cut off. 12 At that time I will search Jerusalem with Lamps, and I will Punish the men who are complacent, those who say in their hearts,'The Lord will not do good, nor will he do ill.' 13 Their Goods shall be Plundered, and their Houses laid waste. Though they Build Houses, they shall not inhabit them; though they Plant Vineyards, they shall not drink wine from them." 14 The Great Day of the Lord is Near, Near and Hastening Fast; the Sound of the Day of the Lord is Bitter; the Mighty Man Cries Aloud there. 15 A Day of Wrath is That Day, a Day of Distress and Anguish, a Day of Ruin and Devastation, a Day of Darkness and Gloom, a Day of Clouds and Thick Darkness,16 a Day of "Trumpet Blast" and Battle Cry against the fortified cities and against the Lofty Battlements. 17 I will bring Distress on Mankind, so that they shall walk like the blind, because they have Sinned Against the Lord; Their Blood shall be Poured Out like Dust, and their Flesh like Dung. 18 Neither their Silver nor their Gold shall be able to deliver them on the Day of the Wrath of the Lord. In the "Fire" of His Jealousy", All the Earth Shall Be Consumed; for a Full and "Sudden End" He Will Make of All the Inhabitants of the Earth.
2 Samuel 7:12-14 12 And when your days are fulfilled and you sleep with your fathers, I will set up after you your offspring who shall be born to you, and I will establish His Kingdom. 13 He shall build a House for My Name [and My Presence], and I will establish the Throne of his Kingdom Forever.
14 I will be His Father, and He shall be My Son. When He commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men and with the stripes of the sons of men. AMP
Isaiah 53:1-10 1 The People Reply, "Who would have Believed what we now report? Who could have seen the Lord's hand in this? 2 It was the will of the Lord that his Servant grow like a plant taking root in dry ground. He had no dignity or beauty to make us take notice of Him. There was nothing attractive about Him, nothing that would draw us to Him. 3 We despised Him and rejected Him; He endured suffering and pain. No one would even look at Him -- we ignored Him as if he were nothing.
4 "But He Endured the Suffering that should have been Ours, the Pain that We should have borne. All the while we thought that His Suffering was Punishment sent by God. 5 But because of Our Sins He was Wounded, Beaten because of the Evil We Did. We are Healed by the Punishment He Suffered, Made Whole by the Blows He Received. 6 All of Us were like sheep that were lost, each of Us going his own way. But the Lord made the Punishment fall on Him, the Punishment all of Us deserved.
7 "He was treated harshly, but endured it humbly; He never said a word. Like a lamb about to be slaughtered, like a sheep about to be sheared, He never said a word. 8 He was Arrested and Sentenced and led off to Die, and no one cared about His fate. He was put to death for the Sins of Our People. 9 He was placed in a grave with those who are evil, He was buried with the rich, even though He had never committed a crime or ever told a lie."
10 The Lord says, "It was My Will that He should Suffer; His Death was a Sacrifice to bring Forgiveness. GNT
Ephesians 1:4-8
Because of His Love 5 God had already decided that through Jesus Christ, He would make Us His Children — this was His Pleasure and Purpose. 6 Let Us Praise God for His Glorious Grace, for the Free Gift He Gave Us in His Dear Son! 7 For by the Blood of Christ We are Set Free, that is, Our Sins are Forgiven. How Great is the Grace of God, 8 which He Gave to Us in such Large Measure! GNT
