The 144,000
Revelation 14:1-20 is a chiasm of the selected 144,000, which is a story of the elect told in reverse order.
The chapter opens with the Lamb and the 144,000 ruling in the Millennial Kingdom from Mount Zion with the name of the Father written in their foreheads. Moving back in time, we see these selected Israelites in heaven praising God with harps and loud singing. The next backwards event is “Three Flying Angels” who prophesy. It is a metaphor of how the 144,000 will preach three messages along with the gospel of the return of the King and His Kingdom in every language to every nation during the Great Tribulation. 99% of these Saints will be martyred by the Trinity Beasts. Then, King Jesus will come back before they are all killed to resurrect the dead and to rapture the remnant of the elect at the “Harvest of the Saints” (Mat 16:27-28, Mat 24:20-22).
The chapter closes with the harvest of the world, which is symbolic code of how God will pour out seven Vial Plagues of His Wrath on those of the Beast. It is sad that humanity, the world and even God have to go through difficult times before we can ultimately have peace and happiness on earth. However, this is the best way to accomplish God’s purpose. So, don’t feel too bad.
The Purpose
The Book of Revelation was written to seasoned Christians, who have an intimate relationship with King Jesus and who know His Word. The Revelation of King Jesus is the ultimate Bible book that completes everything we need to know about Christ so that our relationship can grow to the highest heights. This is why we study the fundamental books of the Bible; to help us decode and understand the revealed prophecies of King Jesus.
