- The purpose and meaning of the 144,000 in the Book of Revelation is a strong curiosity to many. Is it a literal 144,000 or more of a symbolic nature? What might be more interesting, is the hidden message in the listing of the 12 tribes of Israel.

Going through tribulation is a way of helping us to Sanctify and develop your integrity.
We need to welcome the hardships that teach and strengthen us .
Hi
Hai @@lameckthomphiri8862
This teaching changed my life I remember some years back as I was seeking God and it was my first time ever reading the entire Bible then when I reached revelation about the 144000 people I was stuck and was do disturbed that I asked God to please give me correct interpretation of this because I was so confused then you people released this teaching for the first time and it answered all my doubt and I praised Yahweh not only that but when I got you test everything you taught you were so on point and you helped me understand the whole Bible and Glory to God Yahweh and Jesus and the power of HolySpirit that manifest in your ministry am so blessed and have never been the same again but strong in the Lord God bless you for all you do and strengthen you till the end of age Amen
@Theresa Hunter Watch your mouth please. I don't think I'd like to spend eternity with such as you.
@Theresa Hunter
If God always numbered us...Why wasn't David in 2 Samuel's 24 and 1 Chronicles 2! punished for numbering Israel?
When the Kingdom was established, it was no longer allowed to fo so by God.
Notice Joab's response to David.
1 Chronicles 21; 3 And Joab answered, The Lord make his people an hundred times so many more as they be: but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord's servants? why then doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of trespass to Israel?
The punishment David choose was 3 day of plague.
Very interesting study btw.
I hope this helps.
God bless.
@Theresa Hunter yes He numbered the elect that’s why He didn’t wanted anyone number it in the Old Testament, but the Book which had been taken out it’s mentioned in them also and the last book is for the last days nothing is hidden anymore they miss the part where God made this Israel copy of the heavenly Israel and those who believe in Jesus and keep the commandment of God are called Israelites heir of new Jerusalem
SHALOM SISTER PLEASE LET MY KNOS IF YOU STILL ACTIVE IN THE COMMENT'S I WANNA PREACH SOME GOOD GOOD NEWS LET MY KNOW AS SOON POSIBBLE
It is written that the 144 thousand will be only those of the last generation who will remain alive until the return of the Lord Jesus, because they being sons of light will put in darkness the sons of darkness who for now are wiser than the sons of light (Luke 16:8).
&So is clearly that Bible study is our only chance to remain alive until the return of the Lord, because only by being more enlightened than the AI robots will we be useful to God in the final armageddon that will end the armageddon started in heaven against the Sanctuary.
We can be surely that Satan's army will use artificial intelligence AI (which they see as being millions of times smarter than all intelligent humans).
It must be clear to us that AI servants will use the photo-theology of the Bible in more and more dimensions to fight against God’s army.
Therefore it must be clear to us that we will have no chance to remain alive among the 144 thousand if we do not begin to practice the photo-theology of the Bible in always more dimensions studying under the guidance of the Holy Ghost who remembering everything we read and meditating God’s word He will guide us in putting all the verses in perfect order.
It is clear that the AI super-intelligence will use the same phototheology of the Bible but for the purpose of ecumenism trying to twist the verses putting them in that perfect order which AI will see as necessary for the ecumenical union of all religions.
And so is clear that we will not have any chance to overcome against the sons of darkness who will use the AI super-intelligence when we will not be able to see all what will be twisted by AI and to see even the mis-ordering of verses desired by the ecumenical philosopher AI.
Armageddon has divided the heaven into two groups of fighters and therefore armageddon will be ended between two groups of fighters seen in the verses as:
Romans 3:4 By no means! On the contrary, let God be FOUND true and ALL MEN be found LIARS, as it is written: "That you may be FOUND righteous in your words and come out victorious when you are judged. (in Rev 14:7).
Revelation 14:7 He was saying with a loud voice: "Fear God and give Him glory, for the HOUR of His judgment has come, and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and the fountains of waters!"
Unfortunately only few Christians can see the two groups of fighters in these two verses because only few study the Sanctuary to understand Hebrews chapter 3 and chapter 4 to be seen as saints in Colos 1:26 receiving God’s MYSTERY called CHRIST(Colos 2:2).
First time I clicked on this channel and I thank God for the honesty and lack of speculation in this teaching. Love the compiled text made out of the meaning of the tribes' names. May the Almighty God of Israel bless you. In Yeshua's name. Chag Pesach Sameach to you all. Good job.
Thank for your teaching , I have received tremendous clear information from your website about 144,000 , Bible is so profound and I am so excited to discovered so many knowledge from your teaching . Thank you 119 ministries
Here 'virgin' refers to spiritual virginity, as rightly pointed out. But it points to the state of being free from being defiled by the apostasy, that is the false teachings of those churches which have compromised with the Catholic church in rejecting the commandments of God and following their own traditions.
The 144000 are not defiled by women (churches). They are spiritual virgins and follow no false doctrines of the church. They will preach the everlasting gospel of the Kingdom. The Third Testament, book of true life as promised in Revelation 20:12. Blessings
The foremost among their heresies is they have the power to transfer the "solemnity" of the seventh day Sabbath(Saturday) to the first day of the week, Sunday. It's by their own admission their "mark" of authority. With regard to them the Lord says, "come out of her my ppl, lest you share in her sins and lest you receive of her plagues". NKJV Revelations 18:4
@@alayahahdawam2213 This is what the spirit is telling me too. God bless you!

Very very interesting teaching, i thoroughly enjoyed it!! Much brotherly love in Messiah Yeshua all the way from Florida, USA!!🇺🇸
yeshuva our saviour..Amen
The Kingdom Of God is a kingdom - not a democracy or a classless dictatorship. All kingdoms have class structure. Based on the custom and practice of the day those alive at its writing understood all this in only that way. One today must put ourselves in their mindset shoes to understand. Thus those by blood DNA of these Tribes will make up the upper class of the upcoming Kingdom Of God. They come first because they come first. Not everything in the Bible is merely symbolic. Sometimes it says what it means and means what it says. The Father knows everyone’s DNA family tree. He can track blood purity precisely through time as with Our Saviors own family tree.
My prayer is that the church not be blindsided by looking to Israel or waiting for the rapture. And yes there will be 144,000 firstfruits caught up..and an overcoming church here who endure till the end.
During 6th seal a question being asked "who is able to stand". The answer the 144k and their followers.
In Num 31:5 Yahuah asked Moses to get 1k war men from each tribe, 12k total warriors to go and fight against 5 Midianites kings. This is the final battle before enter Canaan Land.
This prophecy will be fulfilled in greater scale in near future during second exodus. Not one thousand but 12times thousand will be sealed. And those who fought midianite king, none of them died. All were preserved.
Church have go through Great tribulation of Antichrist. But the church have to flee to mountain during these tribulations.
But they need leaders to lead them out from world to get to promise land just as Moses led Israelite our from Egypt and lead till promised land.
I believe these numbers are literal leaders who will lead saints out of world during tribulations. That's why we can see multitudes of people from all tribes and languages after them in chapter 7 who came out of Great tribulation.
The remnant of Israel shall do no unrighteousness And speak no lies, Nor shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth; For they shall feed their flocks and lie down, And no one shall make them afraid.”
Zephaniah 3:13
That's how I'm understanding it, too!
There is a whole Revelation series you may enjoy on CZcams if you search at John Linton..or email me and i will send you the link.@@Itsa.CruelWorld
144,000 are the firstfruits...not the whole church.
Rev. 12...The sun clothed woman..is the church..who is in labour to bring forth ones that are in the fullness of Christ.
She is in pain to be delivered and brings forth a manchild...the firstfruits..or 144,000 sons of God...and the devil is there to devour her child..but can't..so then he goes after the woman. She flees and is hidden. These are the overcomers..who will stand in this evil day. Satan then goes after the remnant of her seed...which are faithful brethren who do not know their authority...and will ultimately be martyred.
What you are referring to is the Two churches Philadelphia , who have kept God commandments,are protected during the tribulation and the other is the Laodiceans,the lukewarm, who know Gods commandments but have turned away from them.
The 144k are literal & specifically NUMBERED & CHOSEN for a reason... We ( Followers Of Christ ) as the true Church are The Spiritual Jews. the tribes of Israel are spread across the world according to James 1:1 which means they’ll come from each tongue, race just like the NUMBERLESS people in Revelation 7:9 that the 144k are going to help bring in.
When many say they are ONLY Jews ( though some believe they are all actual Jews by race but that’s not the case ) & Romans 2:28-29 explains that.
28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
Seek God on this topic.
Timsetto, an Israelite is not a Jew but a Jew is an Israelite. You are correct this supposedly 10 lost tribes of Israel are individual nations in the midst of this world. And actually the sons of Joseph inherited the name Israel, amen asset and Ephraim
There were never any lost Tribes, the 10 Nation Northern Kingdom had SEED living in Jerusalem, thus the TWI STICKS will become ONE STICK in Ezekiel 37 came to pass, all Israel became immersed in Judah's culture, but all 12 tribes are now known as Jews. This whole 10 Nation lost tribes is bunk and a lie from Satan. The 144,000 are seen in Zechariah 13:8-9, the Jews REPENT just before the DOTL (Zechariah 14:1-2). He has the CODE UNDERSTANDING figured out but not in full. The number 12 stands for Fulness the number 10 stands for (Completeness), thus 12 Fulness x 12 x 10 (Completeness) x 10 x 10 = 144,000 which just means ALL Israel, not every Jew but every Jew that repents, thus Israel as a Nation is SAVED. The 144,000 is a code word for 3-5 million Jews who REPENT and then as Jesus said in Matt. 24:15-17, flee into the Petra/Bozrah mountains, where God protects them for 1260 days.
The 144,000 will be able to help their brethren that are still here during tribulation.
Interesting, where is that said?
We’re in the great tribulation now!
im no biblical scholar, but i believe like you do. GOD BLESS
It could be me!!!!!
I'm of the tribe of Simeon, heard.
I hope this is recieved without angst but I don't think you tested the literal interpretation fully here. You said the problem with literally interpreting this passage is that it describes all believers today so that makes it confusing, I guess because there are clearly more that 144000 believers in the world, But that is making a big assumption that believers today are truly set apart and undefiled. The 144000 are a special group from the seed of Israel who set an example for the world of what it looks like to follow Jesus for real. They are the ones who clear up all false doctrine and lies. They are miles above the average Christian today and I do believe they are of Jacob's seed.
We should not interpret in order to ensure that we get to remain in a comfortable position in eschatology. Prophesy serves to expose where we have gone wrong in our thinking so that we might find grace to correct ourselves before the time. Mixed multitude is right but we all had better find one of the 144000 and mix ourselves in with them them instead of assuming we are one of them just because we think we are getting this Christian thing right.
This is correct, except the 144,000 will never allow the Gentiles to "mix in" physically, only spiritually as a "grafted in branch" to the "body of Christ" if they follow Jesus Christ for real. A better way to put it is each Christian better be able to discern when God sends one of the 144,000 to demonstrate the pure example of faith in God and follow it! 😉
I'm wondering if it could be both literal and symbolic. I've been praying for guidance from Yah. What if it's literal in that the 144,000 are the first fruits, the bride of Christ, presented blameless, and the symbolic part of it representing all believers are those who went through the time of testing and refused the mark and stayed faithful to Jesus Christ, and the two are mixed together under the 144,000? It seems like the only church promised to be spared the time of testing is the church of Philadelphia. The other churches are believers but are not promised to be spared the great tribulation that's coming. I don't know for sure. It sounds like it makes sense. I'm going to keep praying and seeking guidance from Yah.
This past week, I was nudged to get closer to the Lord and my eyes were opened to SO MUCH. The time truly is at hand. I repented of all the fornication I've done with the harlot. I'd been teetering on the edge of should I or should I not keep Torah, due to the false teachings I'd grown up under. I was seeking and, PRAISE YAH ALMIGHTY, I have found Him! Today, I made the commitment to keep Torah. I've renounced and repented of all the trash I'd been partaking in and I'm seeking His face so that I may be counted worthy to escape what's coming. I pray I am worthy to escape it.
Hate to break it to you but it literally says virgin not defiled by women specifically. Stop making up stuff and take it for what it is
We are the "Great Multitude" from all nations that "NO MAN COULD NUMBER." I can count to 144,000.
Allegory and Christ forgives

Zephaniah 3:13
If everything is symbolic, parabolic - than you can get what ever you want as explanation.
The most literal explanation would be that those are the people that have dedicated their entire life to Crist and have been celibate through life. Spending everyday of their life praying. Those are the monks that are living in deserts and wildernesses far away from civilization for decades untill death. They are the only ones not defiled by actual women and with only god on their mind every day, hour and second.
How's this even questionable?
🙌🏻 oh Praise The Lord God Almighty.
Thank you. That was so cool how you showed what their names mean side by side like that.
Thank you so much !!!!
Yes it filled my heart and tears were rolling down my cheeks as I smiled at the Mighty, Holy Yah we serve! His messages for us are like layers of an onion we have to peel back and so many times, fitting to that analogy, I can’t help but cry. 🤍🙏🏻 thank you for this video. Praise YHWH!
No there isnt 144,000 in the OT. But King David did have an army of 288,000. Defenitly something there.
Jehovah's witnesses love you and Jehovah and jesus loves you and the truth will set you free amen
Then why don't you remeber gods holy day? The sabbath the one command he said remember
Survive Armageddon, perhaps, and then there will be a final test. There is one Mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. Jesus died and rose bodily to be YOUR MEDIATOR. BLESSINGS.
JW is a false teaching. Get saved for real. Trust only Jesus Christ for salvation.
If Torah didn't speak about 144000 that means...it's for Gentiles
The 144000 will be actually One of them from the tribes but they themselves would be anware
Why are you called 119 ministries?
The same conclusion can still be reached within the context of remainder of Revelation 7. From verse 9 onwards the description is a "great multitude that no one could number". Again, scripture explains scripture and you don't have to go far to see it.
So often people seem to disconnect the two simply because they appeared to be described as seperate but a standard reading gives the impression that the great multitude is explaining the 144,000 from earlier just as several other things John sees will a few moments later have something that explains it further in some way.
144,000 is the number of genes, and now we have at least 40,000 genes. Time will come, we will reach 144,000 spiritual genes or body
1 Corinthians 15:23 KJV
But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
The firstfruits are not the whole church.
No impersonators copy cats it’s evil
Most people read too fast instead of studying the scriptures. You are correct the 144,000 are clearly Jews and are a holy "first fruits" offering. While the Angel is sealing the 144,000 the other angels bring us all including the martyrs "OUT" of Great tribulation." We are the Church or "Great multitude" which no man COULD NUMBER from all nations. This is to provoke the other Jews left on the earth to jealousy.
It is interesting to note that because of a lack of punctuation in the Greek some Bibles list 1 Corinthians 15 v.23 as two things and some as three. So is it two things with Christ the firstfruits and then those at his coming, or is it three things with Christ, The Firstfruits, and then those at his coming? Actually it is written “...The Firstfruits Christ afterward they that are Christ’s...”
I would say it is three, because Christ is the Lamb as well as our High Priest, and he was raised on the Feast of Firstfruits. In the Gospel of Mattew, we find that many of the Saints graves were opened at the time of Crucifixion, and they came out of the Grave at the Resurrection on the 16th of Nisan. This matches what we see in the offering, a Lamb with out Blemish and a wave of the Sheaf which the Priest shall wave before the Lord. They are literal virgins, because King David is still in the grave sleeping with his forefathers, he was no virgin and this is stated multiple times in Acts, starting in Acts 2.
Interesting enough there is another Firstfruits in the Lord’s Feasts, and this is found at the Feast of Weeks, otherwise known as Pentecost. These Firstfruits are the Firstfruits of your Labour, the other Firstfruits were of the Land. The offering/sacrifice on this feast is different, it is Two Leaven Loaves (That’s right, Leaven or sinful Loaves, the only time Leaven is offered.) and 13 various animals. This could represent many things, but two loaves with leaven could be the Jews and Gentiles which have verses backing them, and the 13 animals could be representing 12 Tribes plus Gentiles, maybe Christ and the 12 Apostles...Not exactly sure, but the Lord’s Feasts were given to us to shadow what was to come.
At Pentecost we see the Firstfruits of those Repenting, Accepting Jesus as Lord, and being Baptized, so it is fulfilled. Those that accept Jesus don’t go to the Abraham’s Bosom when they die like the Saints before in the Old Testament, they go and wait in the Lord’s House (Barn if you compare it to the parable of the Wheat and Tares), so Blessed are those that die from henceforth.
Jesus said Satan has been cast out, now is the Harvest, and the Judgement of this world has come. We are in Chapter 14 of Revelation in the middle of the Harvest, now only if we had more labourors, for they are few.
You will see in March of 2021 who the True Children of "God" and the 144,000 are. You will also see where you all fit in the scheme of things. Wait for it!

The 144000 are not defiled by women (churches). They are spiritual virgins and follow no false doctrines of the church. They will preach the everlasting gospel of the Kingdom. The Third Testament, book of true life as promised in Revelation 20:12. Blessings
We are in Aug-21 now. Can you show us 144k? I am seriously interested.
Virgins; Not affiliated with world religions or denominations. Rather merely followers of His Word
One other thing God had shown me, is the connection to the dimensions of the bride. 12,000 furlongs (1501 miles) by 12,000 furlongs by 12,000 furlongs. This, "city", if literal, extends over 1500 miles into space, an elevation no human could live at without some kind of protective equipment. So rather than this being a literal city, we are "living stones" that make up the bride, we are the bride, we are the city, we do not live in the New Jerusalem, we who have been sealed by the Holy Spirit and have had our judgment forgotten as I stated earlier, we ARE New Jerusalem, we ARE the bride the lamb's wife, we are included in the 12,000 from every tribe. Multiply 12,000 x 12,000 x 12,000, that is a massive number of people who make up the bride!
This blew my mind. Yah is so good! I'm still unsure if the 144,000 is literal or not. As of now, I tend to think it's literal, that maybe 144,000 are the first fruits, the bride of Christ, presented blameless. It makes me wonder if there's a connection there with the church of Philadelphia who is the only church told that they would be spared the hour of temptation that's to come upon the whole world. I'm wondering if the other churches who are also Israel by being grafted in, will go through that hour, which might be when many will die by refusing the mark of the beast. I certainly don't claim this as for sure fact. These are just my thoughts. I've been praying and meditating and asking Yah for guidance on this particular subject of the 144,000. Or perhaps it's both literal and symbolic, like a combining. Maybe it's literal in that 144,000 are presented as Christ's bride and spared the hour of temptation and then those who refuse the mark and stay faithful to Him are then included which would be including all believers. I'm not sure. I was led to this video and many things were cleared up and connected and made sense to me. I'm still going to keep praying and asking for guidance. Thank you for uploading this.
I have just become Torah observant, fully committed. Last week, I felt a nudge to draw closer to the Lord. He led me to the ministry, Revelations of Jesus Christ which opened my eyes to SO MUCH. I repented of my lax ways and partaking in the harlot. I had strong urges to cleanse my temple (my body). I've been an addict for years. Went to rehab three times. I'm sober from alcohol but the prescription pills (pharmakeia/sorcery) still had a hold. I suddenly felt like I needed to rid this from my body. I'm weening off now although I'd rather just quit immediately. I know it's dangerous to suddenly quit what I'm taking, and I pray Yah has mercy on me. He knows I don't want this in His temple. I've renounced and rebuked all doors I opened through horror movies and worldly lusts of the flesh. I unsubscribed to many channels and noticed Yah has given me the desire to replace those things with ministries such as yours, and Revelations of Jesus Christ, and uplifting channels. I pray I'm worthy to escape the hour which is coming. I feel strongly that it's coming soon. I pray I'm presented blameless before Christ. Please, brothers and sisters of Jesus Christ, pray for me. Please pray I stay steadfast and shun all evil. I truly believe the time is at hand.
To Charles V
Rev 7 speaks of 144,000 of the tribes of Israel..which we are..(Roman's 9 and Galatians 3)
Rev 12:5,6 The manchild is birthed from the church (Rev 12:1,2) and the church flees into the wilderness where she is nourished by the manchild (144,000) Rev 12:14. Rev 14 speaks of firstfruits of the church to come into the fullness of Jesus Christ first...which are the 144,000. The rest of the church are overcomers which will be alive and remain until the coming of the the Lord at the last Trump and martyrs.
So you have 4 groups altogether of the church...
Manchild, overcomers, martyrs and traitors..those that turn on their brethren.
Genesis 40:8
“And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to heavenly father? tell me them, I pray you.”
Do not interpretations belong to heavenly father? tell me them, I pray you.”

Like most comment sections, most these folks didn't actually watch the video. Or they watched it, but didn't listen. Matthew 13:9
Cordell what did they not hear?
There is No good reason to not allow the 144,000 to be real Ethnic Israelites doing this after the Rapture of the Church !
Virgins in the 144,000 means keeping the commandments and the testimony of Yeshuah. Psalm 1. They're separate from the world. They keep His feast days instead of man made holidays. My take. Never bow the knee to ba'al. The light is the Torah. Israel is still scattered!
During 6th seal a question being asked "who is able to stand". The answer the 144k and their followers.
In Num 31:5 Yahuah asked Moses to get 1k war men from each tribe, 12k total warriors to go and fight against 5 Midianites kings. This is the final battle before enter Canaan Land.
This prophecy will be fulfilled in greater scale in near future during second exodus. Not one thousand but 12times thousand will be sealed. And those who fought midianite king, none of them died. All were preserved.
Church have go through Great tribulation of Antichrist. But the church have to flee to mountain during these tribulations.
But they need leaders to lead them out from world to get to promise land just as Moses led Israelite our from Egypt and lead till promised land.
I believe these numbers are literal leaders who will lead saints out of world during tribulations. That's why we can see multitudes of people from all tribes and languages after them in chapter 7 who came out of Great tribulation.
The remnant of Israel shall do no unrighteousness And speak no lies, Nor shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth; For they shall feed their flocks and lie down, And no one shall make them afraid.”

@Rebecca-1111 YES!!!!!!
I, even I, have seen Heaven , the Kingdom of God, before. This is our testimony.
Lo, a vision came to me in the night when my dream was sweet unto me.
And the Lord said “before I fashioned you in the womb I knew you. U are fearfully and wonderfully made. No weapon formed shall prosper against you. And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their righteousness is from Me,”
And said I, “ah, my Lord, I cannot speak. I am but a babe.”
And he said unto me “ say NoT that you are a babe, but speak these things unto them that I will show unto thee.”
And the heavens were rolled away as if they were a scroll. And I was cast into outer darkness. Whether in the body or out of the body , I knew not. Yet , I could hear evil voices from all directions. “Jesus is a lie.” They whispered.
Suddenly , I was lifted up. And taken to a new place, where they glorified the host of heaven, “Hallelujah , glory to the almighty King in Heaven for He is Righteous and Everlasting! And He has prepared an inheritance for his people, he is faithful and true,” they sang. . .
And I saw all things that were, that are, and that will be. And in the silence without speech…I saw a multitude , hundreds of thousands gathered before the most high giving praise. And as I heard, I understood. All of their voices were as the sound of trumpets and harps as they sang a song that no man could learn, yet as I heard, I understood all that they declared unto me. And it was as the sound of many waters and rolling thunders.
And after all these things, then I , Michael, saw a new heaven and a new earth. There was no death. For all things were made new and the former things were passed away. There was no sun. And there was no sea. But the light of God was the light and life to all things.
He that lives by the sword dies by the sword. He that takes into captivity goes into captivity. Here is the wisdom and the patience of the saints
2020. You have no idea how much this meant to me. Godspeed, comrade
Yes, actually according to the revelation, 144000 are the preachers. This is written in revelation 7, v 14,15. They are chosen by God at a young age, for the ministry, as they stand before the throne of God, preaching the gospel. They are the preachers and teachers of scripture, frlm the whole world.
144k have a song man..why would you say it is irrelevant? It's about Jesus having his remant..
Malek's Ministries,,, you are right,,, they have a song,,, that only themselves know. The song is what trial, tribulation and victories they will have,,, it is their story,,, their song.
Blessings 🙏
Look up parable of the vineyard channel. Song of Moses. Could be the song? Just curious.

Thanks this was good. Woke up feeling like a bride, saw this. Chag Shavuot Sameach. Happy Shavuot. Shalom! 🕊🔥📖
Good teaching, thou, there should be no confusion about the number of the 144000, 12000 were sealed from each of the named 12 tribes of Israel. No confusion.
These are the anointed ones that will be prophesying in the end days about God, His kingdom and of Yehushua.
1Cor15:22 For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. 23 But each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits, then when He comes those who belong to Him.
Christ means anointed one, 144000 are anointed by God.
In verse 23 it says but each in turn, meaning;
The anointed ones (Christ), the 144000, they will be gathered first and offered to God and the Lamb as firstfruits.
That will happen when the beast that comes from the abyss kills the two witnesses ( the two witnesses will turn into the 144000.
They are also the wise ones that instruct the many that will be killed in the same manner in Dan11:33-35.) Then when He comes (at the 7th trumpet) the great multitude will be gathered.
Christ in 1Cor15:23 is not referring to Jesus, for Christ is not made alive within Himself.
Christ in verse 20 is Christ Jesus, being the Firstfruits of the dead.
Christ ( the anointed ones , the 144000-firstfruits), in verse 23 are those resurrected in Christ Jesus.
And just as the Apostles were put to death because of their faith and testimony that they maintained, the two witnesses will also meet the same fate.
But their death halfway through the 7 years of tribulation is not for nothing, it is for the waking up of the sleeping church , those who need to see to believe, as was with doubting Thomas.
Those who are of the sleeping church will be awoken when they actually see the two witnesses stand on their feet and ascend to heaven. And will take over from the two witnesses prophesying in the same manner. These are the great multitude that no-one could count, in Rev7 that come out of the great tribulation period.
When Christ Jesus returns to gather those who belong to Him at the end of the great tribulation, He returns with 10 000's of His saints (Jude 14),,, the 144000. He is not returning with a great multitude that no-one could count.
Basically it will go as follows; two witnesses will be prophesying in the first half of tribulation, these are the two nations of Israel and Judah (the divided nation of Israel.)
The divided nation of Israel as in Ezekiel37, the two sticks. God will join these two sticks together to form one stick in His hand, one nation of Israel.
Once He joins these two nations together they will become the 144000-firstfruits.
They become the144000-firstfruits at the end of their ministry, not at the start.
Because, at the start of their ministry they are the two witnesses, the two divided nations of Judah and Israel.
Blessings 🙏
I am afraid you have this all wrong
@@dr.tinsaienegash2536 so you say
All praises to the Most High ! You are spot on with the 144,000 revelation. Yah's 144,000 first fruits army "are" literal. All things will be revealed soon, as we are in the last hour. Shalum🌺
I don’t understand why not take the text literally? What is the motive behind not just taking what the words say at face value?
Sorry, I’m lost and a bit concern. Normally love your videos, but, getting major red flags here.
144,000 from each of the 12 tribes of Israel, then it list the tribes. Where in the text or the Bible does it state that we’re are to NOT include these 144,000 from the original descendants of Jacob? Jews! If these are NOT from Jewish decent, then how does these Non-Jews get assigned to the tribes? Are there scriptures on how God graphs you (gentles) in as a Naphtali or Joesph or a Reubenite? Or are we just making this stuff up because we’re feeling left out as gentiles?
Maybe we righteous non-Jews can just identify as a Levi or a Judah? Wouldn’t all Christians just pick Judah? The winning tribe? I know I would. Why would God go through the trouble of making a tribe distinction with a list of specific tribes, even leaving out some when, in the end, there really isn’t any distinction? It’s just a Jew/Gentile mix? Christ could have just told John, 144,000 saints.
Makes no sense.
Or when it says “virgins...who have not defiled themselves...”. What in the text makes you want to have it NOT be virgins as in its literal meaning?
Do we always change the meaning of the word “virgin” when it appears in the Bible? “A virgin shall conceive...”but, it’s really a spiritual thing and not actually conception? Why do it in one place and not across the board? When you read about the Virgin Mary, are we also pulling scriptures elsewhere to change virgin to mean “spiritual virgin?”
No Christian theologian in their right mind would interpret a passage of the Bible that would deny the validity of a virgin birth!
Yet in Revelation, we are quick to do some theological editing and pull a verse out of Paul’s second letter to the Corinthians as “proof” that the revelation of Jesus Christ John was asked to write down according to Revelation chapter 1 is lacking or misguided? Aren’t we adding to the prophecy here guys? The very thing we are warned NOT to do in the closing of this book? Why?
What is wrong with the way the text is AS IS?
Sorry, 9 minutes into this video and could not go on.
I’m going to be honest guys, this looks to me to be antisemitic theology, my opinion. I get the fact that Christianity has a very rich tradition of antisemitism over the centuries. Christians have been known to be Jew-haters, Jews have been known to be Christians haters, been a part of our history from the beginning. God knows this would not be the first time theology has been twisted to leave out God’s original chosen people. However, despite all that, the biblical text should supersede all that crap. After all, We serve a Jewish God. It’s a fact. Jesus is Jewish. A huge portion of Revelation (from chapter 12 onward) is about Jews and have Jewish imagery. I realize there are liberties taken in the interpretation of prophetic literature, however, changing words that are already defined in the text or adding concepts because you got your feelings hurt that God favors Jewish people over non-Jewish people, as part of his remnant in the last days, I think it’s dangerous territory, if the Bible teaches anything, you do not want to play around with God’s word or defy the God of Israel or his people.
During 6th seal a question being asked "who is able to stand". The answer the 144k and their followers.
In Num 31:5 Yahuah asked Moses to get 1k war men from each tribe, 12k total warriors to go and fight against 5 Midianites kings. This is the final battle before enter Canaan Land.
This prophecy will be fulfilled in greater scale in near future during second exodus. Not one thousand but 12times thousand will be sealed. And those who fought midianite king, none of them died. All were preserved.
Church have go through Great tribulation of Antichrist. But the church have to flee to mountain during these tribulations. Isa 32:15-20, 35, 40, 49, 60..etc
But they need leaders to lead them out from world to get to promise land just as Moses led Israelite our from Egypt and lead till promised land.
I believe these numbers are literal leaders who will lead saints out of world during tribulations. That's why we can see multitudes of people from all tribes and languages after them in chapter 7 who came out of Great tribulation.
The remnant of Israel shall do no unrighteousness And speak no lies, Nor shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth; For they shall feed their flocks and lie down, And no one shall make them afraid.”
Zephaniah 3:13
@@graftedin5440 so you agree that the text is literal? The 144K are Jews from each of the 12 tribes?
@@kali8085
Yes. I believe they're literal. But please test everything, by the Holy Spirit in you. Scripture interpret itself.
Please do not mix Jews and Israelites.
Jews means those who from Kingdom of Judah. They are from tribe of Judah and Benjamin.
The rest of the Tribe are from kingdom of Ephraim. Israel divided into two kingdoms which is Ephraim and Judah after King Solomon during his son's Rehoboam reign.
Kingdom of Ephraim taken captive by Assyrian and Judah by Babylon. After 70 years, only those from Judah came back to their homeland and rebuilding Israel. That why they knows as Jews. The rest of the tribes from Ephraim dispersed and known as lost tribe of Israel. But they're coming back now at this end time.
@@graftedin5440 you are referring to the tribes, but not everyone living in Judah and Benjamin were only from the tribe of Benjamin and Judah. 2 Chronicles 15:8 and 2 Chronicles 30:1-11speak of many from the northern tribes of Simon, Ephram, Manasseh, Dan, Zebulun, and Asher returning to worship in Jerusalem and back to the original temple worship prior to the exile. After the Babylonian exile many tribes returned, not just Judah.
It was because the majority were from the tribe of Judah, they were called Jews, but not that ALL of them were from the tribe of Judah.
The LORD always has a remnant and will bring most of the 12 tribes back, but the tribes guilty of apostasy will not be included in the 144K.

I believe that the 144,00 are literal individuals. The Bibles says that they will be kings and priests serving directly under Christ. They will serve as judges, with their authority having been delegated to them by Christ, the Chief Priest & Judge.
They will sit on thrones and judge the great crowd of people living on the New Earth during the 1000 years. The great crowd of people will include individuals who've come directly out of the great tribulation, as well as everyone being resurrected to the New Earth during the 1000 years.
The apostles were among the firstfruits of the 144,000, and the number has been filling up since their anointing during Jesus' time.
The 144,000 aren't literal Jews, but those who've been grafted in.
I can name a few. David said he would sing a new song and Ezekiel was sealed in his forehead so I personally think it’s prophets, righteous kings and notable people that belonged to God raised up from the dead or born in the last days I’m not sure, to teach us and witness christ.
I have the answer. I have opened the little scroll. You are doing well in bringing light into the darkness. Test me that I might know that I have faithfully tested the truth and it has set me free. I am compelled to answer the call. I know the breath of life. I also know that for a short time longer, the trumpet is silent for it must not be blown until those who are sealed have received the sacred mystery of "the name". Those who seek "followers" now are not walking toward light. The light is bright. It is shining for those who can see. It is time. Those who follow in the steps of Yeshua, in the "way" of the Essenes will find it.
Seek and you will find.
So Peter seeing him *said to Jesus, “Lord, and what about this man?” Jesus *said to him, “If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow Me!” Therefore this saying went out among the brethren that that disciple would not die; YET JESUS DID NOT SAY TO HIM THAT HE WOULD NOT DIE, BUT ONLY, “If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?”
John 21:21-23 NASB1995
I stand with a literal interpretation of the Bible, i believe anyone who truly reveres God would.
Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and heed the things which are written in it; for the time is near.
Revelation 1:3 NASB1995
The Book of Revelation was intended to be easily understood.
I have been watching your videos for the last couple of nights,.. And thus far, I am very impressed by the depths of your study and knowledge of the word!! God Bless!!
Thank you so much!!
In the spirit of testing everything, unlike what you have stated, Levi is in fact one of the original 12 Tribes mentioned in the TaNaK, so it is NOT ADDED in the Revelation numbering. Similarly, EPHRAIM was NOT one of the original 12 Tribes, but like Mennaseh, is a half tribe descending from Joseph. So more accurately, we have Dan (meaning JUDGEMENT) removed, and we have Manasseh (meaning FORGOTTEN) taking Dan (JUDGEMENT's) place. So the more correct interpretation here, is that those who are sealed in Messiah, their JUDGMENT has been FORGOTTEN.
Continue to test everything!
Shalom and Blessings in the Wonderfully Beautiful and All-Powerful name of Yeshua!!!
The 144,000 are the Firstfruits. Revealed by
The Differences Between the Old Covenant and the New Covenant.
🌋The old covenant was given to the national Israelites at Mountain Sinai when they exclaimed "All Yehovah hath spoken, we will do!"
Exodus 19: 8.
The old covenant promised prosperity and protection from enemies for obedience.
The Torah of it was written on stone,
Exodus 31: 18.
Those of the old covenant did/do not have their eternal lives being judged, but their physical lives during this age,
Hebrews 2: 2,
Deuteronomy 11: 22, 23.
The vast majority of people have lived and died knowing nothing of their Creator, and only the devil would then judge their eternal status.
Mosheh was the mediator of the old covenant.
One need be born as a national Israelite, or become a citizen of national Israel, and obey the Torah to receive those benefits,
Exodus 15: 26.
💫 Hebrews 8: 13,
In that He sayeth "A New Covenant", He hath made the first old; now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
The New Covenant has Yeshua as mediator of a Covenant with better promises,
Hebrews 8: 6.
It contains the same Torah, written in the taught-one's hearts,
Romans 2: 15.
Between the two, Yehovah confirms His principal of 'first the physical, then the Spiritual',
I Corinthians 15: 46.
Yeshua said He will build His Assembly and the (Gates?) if the grave shall not prevail against it,
Matthew 16: 18;
not on Kepha/Peter, a small stone, but on Himself,
The Rock.
The New Covenant is given to a Spiritual entity, and provides a Spiritual understanding of the Torah,
Matthew 5: 28.
The New Covenant Assembly is a small flock,
Luke 12: 32.
One must receive a calling to come out of the world to become a member of the New Covenant, and brethren are called while citizens of countries all around the earth,
I Corinthians 1: 26,
I Peter 4: 17,
Acts 10: 15, 28, 41, 44, 45.
The New Covenant is the only Covenant promising Eternal Life for obedience,
Revelation 2: 17,
Revelation 3: 5.
Those of the New Covenant will be raised as Spirit persons in the First Resurrection, at the return of Yeshua.
There is no renewed covenant.
To claim such is to deny the atoning suffering, death, burial and resurrection of Savior Yeshua.
Those who died/die in the old covenant will be raised to physical life again in the Second Resurrection,
Ezekiel 37: 1 - ,
Revelation 20: 5A, a parenthetical statement: (And the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished). During the first thousand years of Yeshua's eternal reign on earth, He will begin offering the New Covenant to the House of Israel and to the House of Judah, and to the gentiles of that time, they being grafted in because of it.
But the calling will be to many more: All in the Second Resurrection!
Jeremiah 31: 31.
Verified by their living before the White Throne of Yehovah, as it will be their turn to be called to His Beautiful Truth,
Revelation 20: 11 and 12.
Some few are the firstfruits, and so all the world's people (except the beast and the false prophet) who ever lived, not called to the First Resurrection, are the second fruits! HalleluYah!
Yeshua will restore all (good) things,
Acts 3: 21.
So it is sure He is going to resurrect all who were miscarried and aborted, their families raising them in the utopian age of the 8th thousand-year day.
The Second Resurrection is going to be the Biggest and Happiest Family Reunion Ever!, Praise to Yehovah!
All possible because of the Differences between the old and the New Covenants.
i've heard it said that the final war, mentioned in Ezekiel, before the children of Israel entered the land was comprised of 12,000 ~ 1,000 from each tribe, and that the 144,000 is 12 times greater in which they are to fight the final war before the Lord returns to rule and reign, they having gathered the remnant from around the entire world, so i'm guessing that this may indeed point to a literal meaning and concerning the virgins - it's also mentioned in the book of Revelation that there is a "Harlot" church and her daughters, which would also point to the term virgin not being a literal reference
Thankyou so much, I realy felt I understand a bit better now. And appreciate what you showed me. Loved the way you presented everything ❤️

Yahusha was fulfilling ALL the *fore shadowed* requirements of the works of the Levitical feasts and the waving of the Sheaf of first fruits was a part of that, so could be the 144,000 in Rev 14 are this sheaf of first fruits. Matt 25 gives us a key to this when the graves were opened after his resurrection.
Matt 27:51-53 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent and *the graves were opened* ; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose and *came out of the graves AFTER his resurrection* , and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
Understanding any of this *IS NOT* a salvational issue and is speculative.
To me, that's a very specific number for it to be symbolic. Why not 145,000 or 150,000?
We are in end times and in February I heard a male voice in my right ear say “He clothes you”, then I was told to lay still as I was being anointed. Euphrates has dried up, deserts have been filled with water, there is a false messiah in Jerusalem, people have heard sky trumpets globally and rapture dreams are in the thousands by people globally
Hmmm... this all seems to be a lot of assumptions... a lot of juggling to support the symbolic assumption... why not take the Word at it's face value... what it actually says? We will certainly know soon enough.
How do we know which tribe we belong to?
Please let me know

I just happen to start this video at 1:44 am. Yah is so good to me.
So. Jesus IS King. But I swear all this stuff lines up with music theory. Why 12? 12 comes from the 12 semi tones of the Chromatic scale. 7 modes and then 7 notes in each mode. 8 to make it infinite because technically theres infinite octaves that can exist even outside of human hearing of the same key. The circle of 5ths. But the number 12 then must apply to other various systems. Rulers. clocks, calendars.
Yah is so good!

Genesis 17:1-14 NLT
- When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, “I am El-Shaddai-‘God Almighty.’ Serve me faithfully and live a blameless life. I will make a covenant with you, by which I will GUARANTEE to give you countless descendants.”
At this, Abram fell face down on the ground. Then God said to him, “This is my covenant with you: I will make you the father of a multitude of nations! What’s more, I am changing your name. It will no longer be Abram. Instead, you will be called Abraham, for you will be the father of many nations. I will make you extremely fruitful. Your descendants will become many nations, and kings will be among them!
“I will confirm my covenant with you and your descendants after you, from generation to generation. This is the everlasting covenant: I will always be your God and the God of your descendants after you. And I will give the entire land of Canaan, where you now live as a foreigner, to you and your descendants. It will be their possession forever, and I will be their God.”
Then God said to Abraham, “Your responsibility is to obey the terms of the covenant. You and all your descendants have this continual responsibility. This is the covenant that you and your descendants must keep: Each male among you must be circumcised. You must cut off the flesh of your foreskin as a sign of the covenant between me and you. From generation to generation, every male child must be circumcised on the eighth day after his birth. This applies not only to members of your family but also to the servants born in your household and the foreign-born servants whom you have purchased. All must be circumcised. Your bodies will bear the mark of my everlasting covenant. Any male who fails to be circumcised will be cut off from the covenant family for breaking the covenant.”
2 Corinthians 5:1-5 NLT
- For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down (that is, when we die and leave this earthly body), we will have a house in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God himself and not by human hands. We grow weary in our present bodies, and we long to put on our heavenly bodies like new clothing. For we will put on heavenly bodies; we will not be spirits without bodies. While we live in these earthly bodies, we groan and sigh, but it’s not that we want to die and get rid of these bodies that clothe us.
Rather, we want to put on our new bodies so that these dying bodies will be swallowed up by life. God himself has prepared us for this, and as a GUARANTEE he has given us his Holy Spirit.
Romans 11:25-36 NLT
- I want you to understand this mystery, dear brothers and sisters, so that you will not feel proud about yourselves. Some of the people of Israel have hard hearts, but this will last only until the full number of Gentiles comes to Christ. And so all Israel will be saved.
As the Scriptures say, “The one who rescues will come from Jerusalem, and he will turn Israel away from ungodliness. And this is my covenant with them, that I will take away their sins.”
Many of the people of Israel are now enemies of the Good News, and this benefits you Gentiles. Yet they are still the people he loves because he chose their ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For God’s gifts and his call can never be withdrawn.
Once, you Gentiles were rebels against God, but when the people of Israel rebelled against him, God was merciful to you instead. Now they are the rebels, and God’s mercy has come to you so that they, too, will share in God’s mercy. For God has imprisoned everyone in disobedience so he could have mercy on everyone.
Oh, how great are God’s riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his ways!
For who can know the Lord's thoughts? Who knows enough to give him advice? And who has given him so much that he needs to pay it back? For everything comes from him and exists by his power and is intended for his glory. All glory to him forever! Amen.
Yet in Zechariah 9:13 the Lord says that Ephraim is the arrow in Judah's bow and the name Ephraim means double fruit. I think Ephraim is the 144,000 seen in Rev. 14, the Bride of Christ.
The 144000 are not defiled by women (churches). They are spiritual virgins and follow no false doctrines of the church. They will preach the everlasting gospel of the Kingdom. The Third Testament, book of true life as promised in Revelation 20:12. Blessings
Neither Ephraim nor Dan are included in the 144,000, but Joseph and Manasseh are. It's not about genealogy it's about character.
Also the 144,000 are not virgins, they are "undefiled by women" you are using mistranslations. They could be married and undefiled if they are following the laws in Leviticus 18.
The 144,000 is literal. They are Torah obedient believers in Yahshua who are specifically chosen to be "mega witnesses" during Tribulation. Then, along with other Torah obedient believers in Yahshua, after the Millennial Reign, will go into the Bridal Chamber called the New Jerusalem (Revelation 22:14). Just like the Garden - Adam & Eve cast out for disobedience. Only those of faith and OBEDIENCE will live with Him in the New Jerusalem and that's not everyone. All comes full circle back to the Garden!

Why Christians get together on a Sunday and not the Sabbath (Sat)? Cause after the resurrection Jesus and the disciples got together on the first day of the week.
(John 20:1-30) Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. 2 So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!”
3 So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb. 4 Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. 5 He bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there but did not go in. 6 Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, 7 as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus’ head. The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from the linen. 8 Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed. 9 (They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.) 10 Then the disciples went back to where they were staying.
Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene
11 Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb 12 and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot.
13 They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?”
“They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.” 14 At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus.
15 He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?”
Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.”
16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.”
She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means “Teacher”).
17 Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”
18 Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her.
Jesus Appears to His Disciples
19 On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” 20 After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.
21 Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” 22 And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”
Jesus Appears to Thomas
24 Now Thomas (also known as Didymus[a]), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”
But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”
26 A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” 27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”
28 Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”
29 Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
The Purpose of John’s Gospel
30 Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. 31 But these are written that you may believe[b] that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.
that's because they RESTED on the Sabbath.

They are not in the book of Revelation, they are just the meaning of the name's in the original language they came from.

Judah wasn’t the firstborn of Jacob. Rueben was.
Shalom Ronald,
Correct, Reuben was the firstborn. Here is an excerpt from the teaching:
"For example, when Leah gave birth to Judah she said “I will praise the Lord.”
When Reuben was born she said “He has looked upon my affliction”.
Normally the first born is listed first, but in the list of Revelation 7 Judah is listed first, not Reuben. "
We hope that helps to clarify this.
Blessings and Shalom
Reuben lost his birthright because he sinned with his father Jacob's concubine.
"prior to the resurrection"?
Didn't take long to "test" this awful teaching.
@ 20:50 there is some confusion Rachei is not the mother of Naphtali or Dan whose morher is Bilhah Rachel's handmaiden otherwise very good presentation.
William Thompson, hi! In the culture of the time, if a woman couldn't conceive, and gave her maid to her husband as a concubine, that counted as though she herself had given her husband a child. Therefore, Rachel would be regarded as the mother of Dan and Naphtali, even though biologically she wasn't. Remember, Sarah did the same by giving her maid Hagar to Abraham. Can't help feeling sorry for the maids!
I love how y'all figure this all out. You help make things clear for me. Bless you
So if the 144 000 is a symbolic number......using your words... why is the new Jerusalem taken as a literal size place also not a symbolic place. The rule should apply to both instances in Revelation..... then what is with the great multitude that is also mentioned. So there is a great multitude and also the 144000 that is a great multitude.......I am confused..... people make it literal when they want it and spiritual when they don't have a good enough explanation..... part of yhe explanation is spot on and part of it not.........
The 144,000 maybe has completed their testimony by September ? God showed me in February-March the 144,000 completed testimony was just around the corner from February so it could be September?
Judah also set up idols to worship, starting with Solomon and culminating with Manasseh who was responsible for Judah's eventual exile to Babylon.
Aftre Solomon was Rehoboam who was good for a fe years but then when he was strong "he did the evil" 2 Chronicles 12:14. His mother was an Ammonitess, and we may conclude that she was an idolatrous woman with great influence over her son.
Abijah was next and he seemed to be a good king, as was Asa after him, but in his last few years he did not seek Jehovah.
Jehoshaphat was next, and apart from from compromises because of his marriage alliance with the king of Israel's daughter, he was a very good king.
Ahaziah was next and "did evil in the eyes of Jehovah" walking in the counsel of the house of Ahab.
Joash was next in line and followed Jehovah all the days Jehoida was priest, and walked away for the counsel of God, and was rebuked by the prophets of God; he died with diseases in his feet.
Amaziah was after him and followed the Lord but later in his reign turned away from following Jehovah.
Uzziah was next for Judah and was for God but when he became strong he usurped the authority placed upon him and went into teh temple to offer sacrifices for which he was afflcied with leprosy and died a leper.
Ahaz his son reigned and worshipped idols, burnign his sons in the fire. He was humbled being distressed by invading armies but turned further away from the Lord.
Hezekiah appears to be the first real reformer for Judah from the days of Solomon and brought Judah and even some of Israel back to true worship of God.
After his death, Manasseh turned his fatehr's good work upside down and worked so much evil in the kingdom that God vowed he would exile Judah from which He would not alter His decision. Even so, being exiled Mandasseh repented and was brought back to Judah and got rid of idolatry and restored Judah somewhat to the position his father had taken.
Josiah was after Manasseh and was also a righteous reformer like Hezekiah.
Josiah's son Jehoahaz ruled fro 3 months and was exiled; his brother was made king by Egypt's order, but Nebuchadnezer took him to Babylon and made his brother king who was also taken to Babylon, but made his kinsman Zedekiah king. These last four kings were all evil.
God calls Judah more treacherous than Israel (Jeremiah 3:7-11; Hosea 5:5; Jeremiah 25:3-7)
Every tribe in Israel - the northern kingdom were guilty of Idolatry. Judah also became guilty and more so.
All this is to show that the argument that idolatry is a disqualifier to beig numbered in the 144,000 is not sound.
However, I will add, that when God repeats something very specific numerous times it is to make a very clear point and which does not need clarification or interpretation.
Whenever the names of the tribes or Israel are mentioned repeatedly it is a statement that needs to be taken literally. The generic word 'israel' in certain situations might be interpreted to mean the church of Jesus Christ composed of Jew and gentile believers.
But the specific phrases contained in Revelation :4-8 are so precise they need no interpretation, just as the specifc references of the tribes of Israel embedded in the gates of the Heavenl;y city are also literal, as also the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb embedded in the foundations of the city.
When things are very clearly anounced they need no interpretation.
Unfortunately, by your doctrine, you would then have to explain the distinction between Jesus' words when He said "I will build my Church upon this rock and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it" and what it means in Revelation 13 when it says the beast will make war with the saints and overcome them (Rev 13:7).
You probably already have an explanation, would love to see it.
A literal interpretation of the Bible explains it itself, but what's your take?
I heard the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, as he raised his right hand and his left toward heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever that it would be for a time, times, and half a time; and as soon as they finish shattering the power of the holy people, all these events will be completed.
Daniel 12:7 NASB1995
A good question is why are the 144 000 here now? We live in a very critical time in history! So one thing 144 000 are going to do,is to help the humanity! In many different ways!
Yes I believe this is the truth.
The 144k are not end time humans, Jews or Christians. They are the Church, the bride in heaven, not on earth. They came out of the tribulation at His first coming. Read Jeremiah 31:15-17. Then Matthew 2:16-18 to see how verse 15 was fulfilled. Then read Luke 2:34 and see that there was to be a great resurrection of "many" in Israel. Then read verse 16 of Jer 31. This resurrection in Luke 2:34 and the prophecy in verse 16 Jer (coming from the land of the enemy) are the same resurrection and we see it fulfilled in Matthew 27:52 when the "many" saints that slept came out of their graves after Jesus. Verse 17 of Jeremiah is the Blessed Hope of Israel for our time. They are coming again to their own coasts. They are 144,000 / 12k per tribe - Rachel's Children slaughtered by Herod. This Prophetic miracle has been "spoken against" for 2000 years as Simeon prophesied by false teachers whom Peter, Paul and Jude warned about with tears. These teachers do not understand, and they have no clue about the resurrection of the many. When God raised Jesus (out of them) from the Dead Saints that Slept He raised THEM and REDEEMED THEM / RANSOMED / BOUGHT THEM BACK. Romans 10:9 says we are to confess this truth with our mouth believing in our hearts that God raised Jesus out of the Dead. Jesus is the Head over His Body. When God raised Jesus He raised BOTH HEAD AND BODY. They are the church (Heb 12:23) Those of us who act according to Romans 10:9 are grafted into the Body in Spirit. We are sealed with the Holy Spirit of Promise. They are the firstfruits. Read Rev chapters 7 and 14 for the Revelation of who and how MANY slept!
He is not correct. The 144,000 are from the 12 tribes of Israel God knows who they are. Three things are special about them.
One they have the sign of the Father and Lamb written on their for heads. Two they learn a new song no one else can learn. Three they
will come down to the earth with Christ and stand on mount Zion and reign with Christ the King for 1,000 years. The rest of the saved the great multitude are mentioned in Rev 7:9-17 They have eternal life too but they cannot learn the special song. The new Jerusalem comes after the 1.000 years and the last great day. Lev 23 is over..
You are correct Rosalie. Jews are Jews. Even though every single Cult has claimed to be the 144,000. We the Church are gathered with the martyrs from all nations gathered together as the"Great Multitude" which NO MAN COULD NUMBER. 144,000 is a literal number and they are 12,000 from each tribe of Israel. NO MAN COULD NUMBER is a huge number which would not fit in Israel we stay in heaven with God. The 144,000 will reign with Jesus Christ for 1,000 years. Unlike men God can have his angels bring us at the same time he seals the 144,000.

No whole bible
The 144,000 are also the ManChild in Revelation 12 born of Yashar'el. Whom Satan tries to devour and corrupt with his power of lies and deception, just like he did with 1/3 of the host of heaven!
I get so tired of how the dispensationalists continually interpret the allegorical picture language of the Apocalypse in a literal way. ✔️
What a beautiful teaching, thank you!!
If anyone is interested in making an informed decision, i would highly recommend Dr. Andy Woods CZcams channel for a teaching on the literal interpretation of the Bible and what it means for the end times we're in.
What you choose to follow is between you and God, but be informed and MAY THE SPIRIT OF GOD LEAD YOU TO WHAT IS FAITHFUL AND TRUE.
The time is short, seek the blessed hope in Christ.
Amen.

The 144,000 are from the 12 tribes of Isreal. King Herald put out a decreed to kill the first born from the tribes of Israel. Jesus was one of them. All of the children or first born were living during the time Jesus was born. Out of the 12 tribes were number killed 144,000 but Jesus was not killed. That's how they are 1) virgins , 2) blameless.
why not 143,996 or 145,210 ? its symbolic. most all of revelation is symbolic. so no virgin women just 144000 virgin men ?
Their all young Virgin Men for Jesus 😇🎉🥁
here i would respectfully disagree. presenting as a virgin and being virgin are two different concepts and it would not be remarkable that there are virgins if the Lord were to call ones to be so. Is anything to hard for God? God is intereested in the whole being otherwise there would be plenty more than 144. 000 from the listed. additionally God knows who is who and while History may have lost the tribes rest assured Ha Shem has not. the spoken of 144000 can and should be understood to have more than one representation. just as the Appointed times have much deeper meanings than just a surface understanding so also can and is likely the 144,000 also have more than one representation in the literal tribes and with the temple.
If it weren't for all the church confusion, in this Last & Wickedest Generation it would be fairly easy for a Bible Studier to understand precisely who the 144,000 "WERE".
*Revelation 7:4 says, "And I heard the number of them which WERE sealed: and there WERE sealed a hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel."
The word: "WERE" is key here. John the Revelator is clearly looking back on the Number of First Fruits that Christ resurrected at His First Coming.
*Matthew 27:52-53, "And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared
unto many".
The 144,000 consisted of Tribal Israelites. And since Tribal Israel no longer exists then no one should even be looking for an End Time 144,000 anyway. Further, Revelation 7:9-16 speaks of the next resurrection to take place, later on, "AFTER" (vs 9) the Resurrection of the 144,000. It is the End Time Harvest of the Great Multitude that will be resurrected at the Time of Christ's Second Coming. No were, in these verses (9-16), does John the Revelator use the word: "WERE" ...as he did when speaking about the 144,000. But, unlike the 144,000, John could not document the number/count of the Great Multitude because they consist of a resurrection that had not taken place yet. Thus, no man could number/count them, yet, as they could the 144,000 ...whom "WERE" already sealed & resurrected before John's Patmos Experience (around A.D.90).
Are you saying that only 144,000 people will be saved? Will enter heaven and the new Jerusalem?
No... did you even watch the video?
@@bustybonnie6700 Yes, FAT BONNIE. I DID!
In Revelation 20: 5 it says the rest of the dead did not come back to life until after 1,000 years were ended. They weren't resurrected into judgment, but into life.
Revelation 20: 4-5 (BSB)
4 Then I saw the thrones, and those seated on them had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image, and had not received its mark on their foreheads or hands. And they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
5 The rest of the dead did not come back to life until the thousand years were complete. This is the first resurrection.
The answer to your question Corona is No. The 144000 sealed Jews will be the only ones that will have eternal security The rest of the saints will not have eternal security because of the mark of the beast Rev chapter 7 will be the greatest revival in the history of all mankind That will not happen now The COVID 19 virus will not ignite.a rev ch 7 revival The first resurrection that Harvey mentioned is only one third complete What do I mean Old Testament saints that ascended to Heaven with Jesus after Jesus died on the cross Matthew 27 v 52 and 53 Paul gives a perfect order and description of the first resurrection in 1 cor chapter 15 Chow
The 144,000 will be the witnesses the forerunners to lead and prepare the way of the coming of the Lord
Rev 7:1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
Rev 7:2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
Rev 7:3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
Rev 7:4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
Rev 7:5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.
Rev 7:6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.
Rev 7:7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.
Rev 7:8 Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
Rev 14:1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
Rev 14:2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
Rev 14:3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
Rev 14:4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
Rev 14:5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
They are literally 144,000 Jews, 12,000 from each listed tribe, reading the two texts above settles who they are and their reward to follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth.
There is nothing to doubt, nothing to speculate, the texts plainly speak of 144,000 as individual Jews whose reward is to follow the Lamb wherever He goes.
Correct, the 144k are literal. But The tribes are spread across the world according to James 1:1. Also they are multiracial, We as True Believers are the Spiritual Jews.
Romans 2:28-29
28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
Where does it say or indicate that the 144000 are Jews?
Dennis, the only 3 tribes God called Jews are ( Judah, Benjamin and Levi) rest have never been Jews but Israelites. And also 2 particular tribes inherited the name Israel the sons of Joseph ( Manasseh and Ephraim)Genesis 48/49)
Timothy Stoneham a lot of preachers seem to miss the scripture where God divided Israel into 2 nations. 10 tribes headed by Ephraim are called the kingdom of Israel and 3 tribes the kingdom of Judah (Jews). The Jews are scattered all over the world while Israelites are established nations in the midst of the world. And actually Manasseh and Ephraim the sons of Joseph inherited the official name Israel Genesis 48/49
7 years period of tribulations.
- first 42 months is during 7 seals broken.
- next 42 months during 7 trumpet sound. At last trumpet 7 yeas tribulations ends. All righteous both dead and living will taken up.
During 6th seal a question being asked "who is able to stand". The answer the 144k and their followers.
In Num 31:5 Yahuah asked Moses to get 1k war men from each tribe, 12k total warriors to go and fight against 5 Midianites kings. This is the final battle before enter Canaan Land.
This prophecy will be fulfilled in greater scale in near future during second exodus. Not one thousand but 12times thousand will be sealed. And those who fought midianite king, none of them died. All were preserved.
Church have to go through Great tribulation of Antichrist. But the church have to flee to mountain during these tribulations.
But they need leaders to lead them out from world to get to promise land just as Moses led Israelite our from Egypt and lead till promised land.
I believe these numbers are literal leaders who will lead saints out of world during tribulations. That's why we can see multitudes of people from all tribes and languages after them in chapter 7 who came out of Great tribulation.
The remnant of Israel shall do no unrighteousness And speak no lies, Nor shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth; For they shall feed their flocks and lie down, And no one shall make them afraid.”
Zephaniah 3:13
All these chapters telling us, there is highway in wilderness, mountain for our journey. Isa 32:15-20; 35; 40; 49; 60.
Dan is NOT a witness. Dan is a Judge.
One problem with this video, which is a rare find for your teachings, is that Ephraim was not one of the original 12 tribes. Both Ephraim and Manasseh were sons of Joseph...so in Revelation, Dan, meaning Judgement, has been removed, and Manasseh, meaning forgotten, has been added. So the secret of the sealing I'd that our judgment has been forgotten! This is what has happened having Father and Yeshua written on our foreheads...our judgment has been forgotten!!!
Amen, great points. Voddie Bauchum nails this beautifully.
@3:45 ..he meant “Dan is omitted..” Ephriam shouldn’t have even been mention because he’s not Jacob’s son but grandson
Shalom Doron, Ephraim and Manasseh were adopted by Jacob and became his sons.
119Ministries Book Chapter and Verse please.
@@DoronBond Genesis 48:5 And now your two sons, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you in Egypt, are mine; Ephraim and Manasseh shall be mine, as Reuben and Simeon are.
119Ministries Thanks but technically Jacob Israel only had the 13 sons and Dan’s exclusion was apparent
Dan will judge Jacob.
Dan is sealed
Kindly explain again why the 144000 is not necessarily the Israelites but also represents the other nations, please
Shalom!

I have heard another version - all are Jewish males.
That's the correct one. This one is wrong.
What a beautiful teaching, thank so much
I am not from any of those tribes. I am not even from a tribe.
I think if you're planning to cram 3,000,000,000+ people into New Jerusalem, you're crazy. I hope that's not what you're implying by saying the 144,000 are symbolic. I believe the number is literal.
Matthew 19: 11-12 says they do this for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven. Eunuchs that might be because they remained "Virgins".
Exodus 13: 1-16 says there are some offspring of humans that belong to God and are "Redeemed" from birth.
Deuteronomy 18: 9-14 describes what must not be done to be considered "Blameless".
I like your videos, but I don't agree with everything you say, it's likely because Paul's encounter with Christ in the Wilderness (Acts 9: 3-5) and Inner Rooms (Acts 23: 10-11) that you guys must have overlooked like all of Christianity. Do you also believe one man can be a first, second, and third witness, as Paul does, in 2 Corinthians 13: 1-3, and love how he's not sparing anyone in his threats of violence towards fellow believers in verse 2 there? How about Romans 7, and his "Whitewashing" of sins, does that teaching apply to every christian, we don't even need to try to be good anymore?
I believe Paul is God's test to us in Deuteronomy 13: 1-5 and Jesus's warning for us in Matthew 24: 4-5, 23-27. And the only ones in Bible times who caught onto what Paul was really doing were the Ephesians in the church of Ephesus in Revelation 2: 2.
The Bible is massive, I can't memorize any of it. You guys know lots of scriptures which is great. I just don't like to be lied to or misled by anyone such as Saul / Paul. I don't blame you for not seeing it, billions of people don't. One man said these false Christs are not gonna be crude deceptions. I think it's best to avoid Paul completely, but if you've already read all his work, maybe re-examine him? I don't think it's wise to rely solely on Paul to translate the book of Revelation as many of his teachings only come from him with no other source in the Bible, likely he's picking it up from his encounters with that Jesus he met or sources outside the Bible, like Greek prophets (Titus 1: 12).
Paul was a Pharisee of Pharisees (Acts 23: 6) after his conversion, he didn't leave that behind like he said (Philippians 3: 4-9). Why? Because he's a liar. Pharisees were called Liars, Hypocrites, and Offspring of Satan (or Vipers) by our Messiah. (Luke 12: 1; John 8: 13-45)
Lastly, the words of Jesus in Matthew 7: 13-14 (BSB)
13 Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it.
So I have a lot of trouble believing 3,000,000,000+ people are the 144,000 all being smashed to fit inside the 24 miles or whatever radius of the city New Jerusalem. Also they are Kings, who are they ruling over and judging if everyone else is dead?
I believe the literal number of 144,000 Kings and Priests will lead the rest of the world into serving God correctly with Jesus for 1,000 years, and after the 1,000 years has ended, Satan will mislead the nations of Gog and Magog to war with the saints. Could Satan do that if everyone is under New Covenant already all being the 144,000?
I was wrong about the size, New Jerusalem is supposed to be nearly 1,400 square miles. But still, that comes down after the 1,000 year rule by Christ and the 144,000. So it still bothers me that the 3 billion Christians on earth are all gonna be ruling from the Israel we have right now.
@@garyharvey1195 The 144,000 are the remnant children of Israel - they are the remainder of the Hebrew Israelites who are living today.
@@pamelacampos7629 I agree, I don't think someone could rule as king if they don't even obey the law themselves, can't teach others to obey the law either.
I agree with you... I read the bible, though I also do not have that much knowledge about it, for me discernment has made it sure that... that the bible is like a leavened bread. The "leavening agents" are the words of the fake apostle Paul/Saul, mistranslations & omitted words, inserted words that were not in the original manuscript, etc... And that no bible translation today is true... No religion is correct... because religion is just a business for the founders...
Also, it is a red flag when a preacher defends a teaching from Paul/Saul. Or uses his words as the foundation of a group/ministry/assembly/religion.
We are the "Great Multitude" from all nations that "NO MAN COULD NUMBER." I can count to 144,000.
