Display Mount Zion and the Lamb symbols.
Gaebelein p.78 ―This chapter brings now fully into view the Satanic powers
operating during the great tribulation – the forty-two months. Satan’s
masterpieces are on earth; energized by him and endued with his powers
they work together to stamp out all that is left of the truth on earth. Their
combined efforts are directed against the Godly remnant of Jews and against
those Gentiles who accepted the message of the Gospel of the kingdom, who
are seen in the seventh chapter emerging out of the great tribulation.‖
c. Standing with the Lamb.
1) Notice that 144,000 Sheep are standing with the Lamb. They are
not standing with a counterfeit lamb, a wolf in sheep’s clothing such as
the false prophet, they are standing with God’s Lamb, Jesus Christ,
who is more than a precious Lamb. He is, also, the Shepherd of the
flock: the Good Shepherd, the Chief Shepherd and the Great Shepherd
who has given His life for His sheep.
2) Both the Lamb and His 144,000 protected evangelists are on Mount
Zion after the Tribulation. Mount Zion is positively, definitely,
without a doubt located on earth. The Lamb is standing on a real
mountain outside Jerusalem ... and with him are 144,000 living, Jewish
evangelists. Christ has returned and the Jewish witnesses are alive with
Him on earth. This is a view of Christ’s Second Advent.
3) The 144,000 are those “purchased” from the earth, as all believers
are “purchased” from the slave market of sin by Christ’s work on the
cross. They belong to Jesus, who paid the ransom price. Jesus protects
the 144,000 witnesses through the Tribulation. They enter Christ’s
Millennial Kingdom alive at the Second Advent, purified from sin and
restored to a place of honor.
Point to the time of the Second Advent on a timeline.
4) Having His name and the name of His Father written on their
foreheads refers to the seal of God on the 144,000 witnesses. The head
or forehead stands for the thinking part of man, where the soul is
located. The 144,000 belong to Jesus and they think from a heavenly
viewpoint.
REVELATION 14:2 And I (John) heard a voice
from heaven, like the sound of many waters and
like the sound of loud thunder, and the voice
which I (John) heard was like the sound of
harpists playing on their harps.
