The Laodicean Message - E.H. “Jack” Sequeira

literal number, but a vast multitude. There are two
passages in the book of Revelation and two
passages in the New Testament that deal with the
144,000. We touched the first passage in our last
study, which is Revelation 7. This presents the
144,000 in the context of a question, and the
question is, “Who will be able to stand the events
preceding and leading up to the second coming of
Christ?“ And, as you know, the events preceding
the second coming of Christ is the great tribulation,
the war of Armageddon. And, of course, the
coming of Christ is also a tremendous event
because Christ will not come with His glory veiled,
but He will come in the full glory of His divinity.
Now I would like to turn to Revelation 14.
You will notice here that the implication is the
144,000 are a vast multitude. Now, in Revelation
14 we are told the context of how the 144,000 will
be produced. What will produce the 144,000?
And the context of this section is the Three Angels’
Message. It is the Three Angels’ Message —
which is righteousness by faith or Christ our
righteousness — which will produce the 144,000.
