Post # 10 "The 144,000 will be decendants of Abraham. 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes.
They will be preserved through the end times..
Nowhere in the book of Revelation does it say they will be witnessing to anyone.
Revelation 7:4, 10-11 [ The 144,000 ]
And I heard the number of those who were sealed (saved/protected),
one hundred and forty-four thousand sealed (12,000) from every tribe of the (12) sons of Israel:
10 “Salvation to our God (Jesus?) 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 (The 144,000) fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God,
Revelation 14:1,3 [ The Lamb and the 144,000 on Mount Zion ]
Then I looked, and behold, the Lamb was standing on Mount Zion (the KING in Jerusalem), and
with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand,
having His name and the name of His Father written on their foreheads.
3 And they (144,000) sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders; and no one could learn the song except the one hundred and forty-four thousand who had been purchased from the earth.
Hmmm?...all gathered in Jersusalem to see the returned Divine Messiah.
What a great opportunity for the 144,000 to become Jewish Billy Grahams!
