And thank you for your kind words!! Revelation 14 is the high point of God’s final message to the world before Jesus comes back again! And God has indeed blessed me far beyond anything I could imagine. I am the result of an accidental teenage pregnancy and God has given me life so I will gladly serve Him with it!! If you are interested I have 2 versions of my testimony on my channel recorded at 3ABN. May God also bless you richly in your Bible study of Revelation. 😇🙏🏼🙏🏼
Praise the Lord!! Glad to hear the presentation was a blessing, sister! If you send me an email I will be happy to send you my PowerPoint presentation. My email is: bhindman@carolinasda.org May the Lord bless you in your study of Revelation!! 🙏
I believe the 144,000 is a literal number, that is what I have been taught, and studied myself Ellen White says "144,000 in number" She also says to strive to be part of it, so its probably not a very big number compared to the lost at that time
Thank you for your comment, Sapphire! Although I am by no means dogmatic, there are several reasons why I believe the 144,000 is a symbolic number. First, Revelation is a symbolic book and many of the numbers are also symbolic. The only sure example I know that is not symbolic is the millennium or thousand years. The second reason I believe the 144,000 is symbolic is the description of the composition of this group. There are "exactly" 12,000 from each of the twelve tribes which while possible seems unlikely and further suggests this is a symbolic group. These are not the literal twelve tribes of Israel but symbolic and representative of different classes of people who will be saved in that special number. I do agree that whether literal or symbolic it is a very small number who will strive to be a part of this special group. By God's grace let us strive to be part of it!! May God bless you in the new year. 🙏
He says he believes the number 144,000 is symbolic but I believe its not because the 144,000 will go to heaven and then come down and help Jesus on judgment day to judge the righteous and unrighteous. Those who believe the number 144,000 is symbolic because the want to believe many people are going to heaven when in fact Psalms 37:29 it says "The righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it." So we weren't created to go to heaven. We were created to live on Earth forever but there are select 144,000 that will go to heaven and those 144,000 know exactly who they are so if you're guessing if you're one of the 144,000 then it's most likely you're not one. Also Revelation 7:4-8 explains exactly what tribes the 144,000 come from.
Amazing! God bless your ministry! May God make us firm and courageous, as the time of the end is neigh.
Praise the Lord!! God bless you my friend. 😇🙏
