Revelation 14 :1

Revelation 14 :1

  In this chapter the five verses talks about the Lamp and the 144,000 people.

Rev 14:1 Then I looked, and behold, a Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His Father's name written on their foreheads.

Then I looked…. John is simply recording what he sees.

 A Lamb standing on Mount Zion…The last time John saw Jesus as a lamb was in the Revelation 7:9 where the a “Great Multitude” from every nation, tribe, language and people stood before the Lamb and the Throne. This multitude was the result of the 144,000 Jewish Witnesses who are pictured on Earth as opposed to Heaven.

John sees the Lamb again standing on Mt. Zion. Mt. Zion is one of the 4 mountains, (hills) the city of Jerusalem is built upon. The hills are Zion, Moriah, Acra, and Bezethah, the walls and buildings of Jerusalem are built around and upon these hills. The question is whether this is a Heavenly Mt. Zion or an Earthly. Those who view this as Heavenly Mt. Zion refer to

Mount Zion

Hebrews 12:22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels

picturing Mt. Zion in the Heavenly Jerusalem. The location and time of John vision influences our understanding of the identity of the 144,000 gathered before the Lamb.

With him 144,000….The identity and timing of the

Revelation 9:1(Fifth Trumpet) Then the fifth angel sounded

Rev 9:4 They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.

Rev. 7:2-4

2   Then I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God. And he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea,

3   saying, "Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads."

4   And I heard the number of those who were sealed. One hundred and forty-four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel were sealed:

        And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,

        Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

        And I heard the number of them which were sealed:  and there were sealed an hundred  and forty  and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
