Eventually, all who refuse to enter into God’s rest will be forced to take the mark of the beast. Thus, the sheep will be separated from the goats – all over the world! After this separation has been completed (and other matters resolved), all the sheep will be gathered up into the air and taken to the Holy City at the time of the Second Coming.

 

The point here is that under Plan B (the New Covenant), Jesus accomplishes the separation of the sheep from the goats in every corner of the world using a tiny fraction of the army that He would have used under Plan A! It’s a Gideon’s army parallel….  And we all know that Gideon didn’t get the glory for that victory, the Lord did!

The harvest

“Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit says the Lord Almighty!”

 

The bad news for organized religion is that God is going to “leapfrog” all Christian organizations by doing something very simple. He will choose people from every religion to be His prophets – His spokespersons for the end-time.

 

The simple plan of converted brothers and sisters will help to deflect man’s inherent religious arrogance and ignorance (both of which are so great that they cannot be measured). For example, what would be the possibility of a devout Christian listening to the gospel of a devout Moslem? And the reverse is also true!

 

A devout Moslem cannot listen to a devout Christian and vise versa.

 

So, God shows His love and generosity to all of us. He addresses the diversity of mankind by converting faith-full-honest-hearted people within all religions and they will speak to their own people for 1,260 days. How cool is this?

 

When the dust finally settles after 1,260 days, the harvest resulting from the work of the 144,000 will be a numberless multitude that comes from every nation, kindred, tongue and people. God will be able to save the maximum number of people this way!

 

What a merciful God! What a God of love! Jesus will choose the humblest of people as instruments of His glory to save a world full of faith-full-honest-hearted sinners! “Thank you, Jesus.”

 

Now that you have heard a summery statement of my understanding on the 144,000, let’s look at some details to see how these conclusions were reached.

 

Timing

                                                                              4^th Seal

Jubilee Calendar Ends - /                                Today  / --1,260------

70 Jubilee cycles-------/------------------------------x--/-------------------      

                                   1994         WAIT!!                 Earthquake

                                Full cup

 

Angels given seven trumpets in 1994:

 

Revelation 8:2   And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets.

 

WAIT!!

 

Revelation 7:3   “Do not harm the Earth until the seal of God is put on the 144,000 servants.

 

These four angels have been waiting since 1994 to hear the following words: Revelation 10:6 … “There is no more delay!

 

When the appointed time arrives, the 4^th seal will be broken open and the punitive judgments of God will begin. There will be a global earthquake.

 

This earthquake will break up the world into small physical cells (thus eliminating travel), and in each cell, there will be a prophet of God. (1/50,000) The infrastructures of Earth will be badly damaged (transportation, communication, commerce, banking, economy, etc.) There will be panic and anxiety everywhere. The 144,000 will begin to speak….

 

They will speak and the world will hear the words of Jesus, “the testimony of Jesus” through them. They will predict the time and places of the first trumpet judgment. Etc. They will present four messages that we will discuss later on…..

 

Before we close, I would like to show you an overview of the relationships that exist between the first four prophecies (P1, P2, P3, P4) in Revelation:
