Revelation

THE BOOK OF REVELATION: M. M. NINAN
Chapter 14 group are people "purchased from among men and offered as firstfruits to God and the
Lamb." These were redeemed from among men, as a firstfruit to God and to the Lamb.
3. The scene of chapter 7 occurs on the earth.
Chapter 14 takes place in Mount Zion. The Lamb here is Christ, and the Mount Zion is not Mount
Zion of the earthly Jerusalem but of the Heavenly of which Paul speaks in Heb. 12:22-23. "But ye
are come unto Mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, 'The Heavenly Jerusalem,' and to
an innumerable company of angels, to the General Assembly and Church of the 'First Born' (New
Born), which are written in Heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just (justified)
men made perfect."
4. Revelation 7, are slain and under the altar by the middle of the Tribulation.
Revelation 14 are before the throne, in their spirit or "soul" state, "away from the body and at home
with the Lord". (2 Cor. 5 v.8)
5. Verse 4 tells us that "they follow the Lamb wherever he goes" identifying them as Christians
These are those who were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are those who follow
the Lamb wherever He goes. This is not talking about marriage. It is talking about fidelity to the
lamb to whom they are espoused. They did not go after whores or defiled themselves with idols.
Rev 14:6 And I saw another angel flying in mid-heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to
those dwelling on the earth, even to every nation and kindred and tongue and people,
Rev 14:7 saying with a great voice, Fear God and give glory to Him! For the hour of His judgment
has come. And worship Him who made the heaven and the earth, and the sea, and the fountains
of waters.
“FOUR GOSPELS
(1). THE GOSPEL OF "THE KINGDOM."
Matt. 24:14.
This is the "Good News" that God purposes to set up a Kingdom on this earth over which David's
Son, Jesus, shall reign, as prophesied in Luke 1:32-33. Two preachings of this Gospel are mentioned, one
past, beginning with the ministry of John the Baptist, and preached by Jesus and His Disciples, but it ended

be the fulfilment of Matt. 24:14, where it says: "This Gospel of 'The Kingdom' shall be preached in all the
world for a witness unto all nations: and then shall the end come." This has no reference to the Gospel that
is now being preached. to the nations. It is the Gospel of salvation, but the "Gospel of the Kingdom" is not
for "Salvation" but for a witness, that is. it is the announcement that the time has come to set up the
kingdom. It will be preached first by Elijah the forerunner (Mal. 4:5-6): and by others who shall be
commissioned to bear the news to all nations as a proclamation of the Coming of Christ as King to occupy
the Throne of David, and for the purpose of regathering Israel to the Promised Land,
(2). THE GOSPEL OF THE "GRACE OF GOD."
Acts 20:24.
This is the "Good News" that Jesus Christ the rejected King died on the Cross for our SALVATION. This
form of the Gospel is described in many ways. It is called the "GOSPEL OF GOD" (Rom. 1:1), because it
has its source in the LOVE OF GOD. John 3:16. Its Character is "GRACE." Acts 20:24. Its subject is
CHRIST (Rom. 1:16; 2. Cor. 10:14), and it is the POWER OF GOD UNTIL SALVATION. It is also a
