Peace in Christ.
Again, the lightning comes out of the “east”.
The “east” are His people….the 144,000…who will have His manifest presence in their mortal bodies which will attract the people of the outside world who are in deep darkness in the “west”….the “great multitude” who will see His presence shine through the 144,000.
Mat 24:27 K
(27) For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming (PRESENCE) of the Son of man be.
In Revelation 7:2, John saw an angel ascending from the EAST having the seal of the living God.
“ east” are the Greek words: “Anatole” and “helios”.
anatolē - From G393; a rising of light, that is, dawn (figuratively); by implication the east (also in plural): - dayspring, east, rising.
hēlios - From ἕλη helē (a ray; perhaps akin to the alternate of G138); the sun; by implication light: - + east, sun.
Rev 7:1-4
(1) And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
(2) And I saw another angel ascending from the east (anatole + helios), 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,
(3) Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
John HEARD the number of them which were sealed: 144,000
(4) 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.
This is His people …the 144,000…who HEAR the Word of Truth and BELIEVE and are SEALED.
Eph 1:12-14
(12) That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
(13) In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of the promise,
(14) Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
And then “after”…or amid… this John SAW (I beheld and lo) a great multitude which no man could number. John HEARD the number (144,000) that were sealed but he SAW the great multitude which no man could number.
This “great multitude” are the people of the outside world of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues who will SEE the glory of the Lord shine through us….through the 144,000.
They stand “before”..that is, in the face... of the throne and in the face of the Lamb. We….the 144,000…with “open face”….shine His glory to them. They see our face…they see His glory that will shine towards them….much like Moses’s face did shine.
The great multitude which no man could number are clothed with white robes. You can see this will be a dense “cloud” of people.
Rev 7:9-10
(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 (in the FACE of) the throne, and before (in the FACE of) the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
We…the 144,000…are to be to the praise of His glory as the great multitude will then praise God.
(10) And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
The lightning shines from the east to the west…..and there will be “thunder” coming from the “great multitude” as they will then praise God (the praise of His glory).
Rev 19:5-6 KJV
(5) And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.
(6) And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
We…the 144,000….are the “order” or troop of Christ the firstfruits. The “great multitude” are the 2nd troop of people of the outside world who are sitting in deep spiritual darkness. They are Christ’s at His PRESENCE of which the first group (the 144,000, Christ the firstfruits) manifest to them who will SEE Him through us.
1Co 15:23-24 KJV
(23) But every man in his own order (troop, set): Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming (PRESENCE).
(24) Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
