Special Studies - Revelation Chapter 14
Dear FATHER, Please Bless our Study of THY WORD! In JESUS' NAME, Amen!
The Song Of The 144,000
The Harvest Of The Earth
This chapter is a warning regarding GOD’S WRATH.
In this chapter we will learn about The Lamb and the 144,000, and The Messages of the Six Angels, as well as The Harvest of the Earth. Chapter fourteen is written concerning earth. Chapter fifteen is written concerning Heaven. This allows for the reader to understand what is happening in both places (earth and Heaven) at the end. As we start this chapter, the reign of antichrist has completed.
Revelation 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.
[
Note
The Manuscripts say “The Lamb”, which is JESUS. This is after HIS return. Mount Sion is Greek for mount Zion in Hebrew and is a hill in Jerusalem on which the Temple was built (used to symbolize the city itself).
These 144,000 are those that had The Seal Of GOD placed in their foreheads in Revelation chapter seven.
That means they know THE TRUTH. As it is written in the forty fourth chapter of Ezekiel concerning the Millennium, there are two types of priests. There are Levitical priests, which are priests of the law, and there are the priests of the Zadoc, which are GOD’S seven thousand, the election.
The Levitical priests went astray when Israel went astray, meaning they were deceived. When the priests of the Zadoc, which are GOD’S seven thousand, the election began to testify, then the 144,000, which are the Levitical priests were Sealed and came out of deception.
They were sealed with The Seal Of GOD and they knew what was going to happen. When it did happen, they realized it was TRUTH and came out of deception. When a person repents while they are still in a flesh body, their sin is washed clean and they become Spiritual virgins. So even though the 144,000 Levitical priests were deceived, they came out of confusion and were Spiritual virgins again.
When JESUS washes away our sin, it is completely washed away. Some of the people that you witness to, as to what is going to happen, may not see this TRUTH right now, but may realize this TRUTH when it comes about, when they hear the testimony of the seven thousand as THE HOLY SPIRIT Speaks through the seven thousand when the delivering up comes about.
Hebrews 12:22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
These angels are the army of JESUS, and you, or your relatives may be one of them.
Hebrews 12:23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
Those written in Heaven are those who overcame satan. These spirits of just men made mature are the justified ones (GOD’S seven thousand, the election which were justified before the foundation of the world).
Hebrews 12:24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
Abel’s blood cried out from the earth for vengeance. CHRIST’S Blood cries out with Salvation for whomsoever will accept HIM.
Hebrews 12:25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:
Moses spake on earth and they refused him. They began to worship idols while Moses was yet upon the Mount receiving The Ten Commandments. HE that Speaks from Heaven is THE HOLY SPIRIT, and if the justified ones (GOD’S seven thousand, the election) refuse THE HOLY SPIRIT to Speak through them when they are delivered up during the hour of temptation, it is unforgivable. That would mean they betray GOD and accept satan’s temptations. That would mean they are changing sides.
Hebrews 12:26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
This will be the end of the flesh age.
Hebrews 12:27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
”And this word,” = GOD’S WORD. The evil things that are made are shaken or removed. Those things on The ROCK (IN CHRIST) cannot be shaken, and remain.
Hebrews 12:28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
”Reverence and godly fear”: respect and love.
Hebrews 12:29 For our God is a consuming fire.
THIS FIRE Burns up that which is evil, but warms with love that which is IN CHRIST.
These 144,000 will know the TRUTH when they hear GOD’S seven thousand, the election give their testimonies. They will be sealed with The Seal Of GOD at that time. GOD'S 7000 is the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel (the 144,000).

Revelation 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:
[
Note:
Symbolic of the Voice of GOD. But what comes to mind when I read this verse, is that when we are delivered up, THE HOLY SPIRIT Speaks through us. Whoever hears our testimony against satan at that time will hear it in their own language as written in Acts chapter two and the book of Joel. We know that the waters are people as written in Revelation chapter seventeen. So many waters means many languages. It’s how the Gospel gets published among all nations.
Great thunder means great power as GOD’S Voice shakes Heaven and earth. And just as Paul writes in 1st Corinthians chapter fourteen on speaking in tongues, an instrument that doesn’t play with a logical tune is as babble (which is what end time Bablyon means; “babble”). There is intelligence in melody, so the harpers harping with their harps may mean the message given (disclosure). It’s just my thoughts on it, but that is what I think it means. In any case, it’s still the Voice of GOD. For GOD’S SPIRIT is THE HOLY SPIRIT. And it is a joyous time, for we have the victory.

Revelation 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.
[
Note:
Keep in mind that the discussion on what this song may be is speculation. It's for discussion only. The reader is advised to make up his or her own mind. After all, it's a new song that no one but the 144,000 could learn. I tend to think that it may have to do with the white stone with the new name that no one knows except he that receives it. The seven thousand already have that stone, but the 144,000 receive that stone during the hour of temptation. It's TRUTH, election. It has to do with Revelation 2:17.
Revelation 2:17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
The 144,000 are Sealed with The Seal Of GOD (TRUTH) during the hour of temptation. This may mean that they are singing the TRUTH. As they sing this TRUTH, they finish building The End Time Temple Of The LORD.
The end time Temple is made of people. So, their song causes many to wash their own robes in The Blood Of The LAMB, and this results in the uncountable number of people listed at the end of Revelation chapter seven that stand before GOD’S THRONE. JESUS has already returned when they sing this song. And the 144,000 teach in the Millennium. And key to the thought is that all these people wash their own robes in the Blood of the LAMB. That would likely mean by works (wash their own robes). The Millennium is all works, no Grace, but always remember that anyone who Truly comes to JESUS while they are still in flesh, is forgiven upon repentance.
Revelation 7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
Revelation 7:10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
Revelation 7:11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
Revelation 7:12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
Revelation 7:13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
Revelation 7:14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
Revelation 7:15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
Revelation 7:16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
Revelation 7:17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
So, this might be going on through the Millennium. And what John is seeing in Revelation 7:14 might be at the end of the Millennium. The point in time when GOD wipes away all tears from our eyes is the Eternity. The Eternity begins after the Millennium (Revelation 7:17).
When GOD’S seven thousand, the election which were Sealed with the Seal of GOD before the foundation of the world are delivered up for a testimony against satan, the 144,000 hear the testimony of the election. The 144,000 come out of confusion and repent. They are Spiritual virgins again.
They are known as Zerubbabel (born in confusion, which means Babylon), but it is end time Babylon. When they come out of confusion, they finish The End Time Temple Of The LORD. The end time Temple is made of people. It is not a physical building. This is how the one world system beast crumbles to the ground. But this teaching (building of the end time Temple) continues into the Millennium.
The layout of the Millennium is that JESUS is in the Temple, and HIS seven thousand interface with HIM. No one can come near JESUS at that time except HIS seven thousand (“Depart from ME, I never knew you.”).
The seven thousand then interface with the 144,000, and the 144,000 maintain the Temple and teach the people (Iron Rod Discipline).
If the seven thousand have family members that do not make the first resurrection, they can bypass the 144,000 and go out to their family members and teach them. But there is a price to pay for that benefit. Once they go out to teach their family members, which are Spiritually dead, they cannot come near JESUS again until they go through a seven day cleansing process. They cannot touch any dead thing, and must be cleansed if they do. Study the information regarding Levite priests.
If you have ever had GOD in your body, you will know why this is a serious price to pay. Even if you do not know now, you will by then because when we are delivered up for our testimony against satan, we will have GOD in our body. And we will be near JESUS in the Millennium. All of this can be learned by studying the Millennial chapters of the book of Ezekiel. It’s chapter forty to the end of the book of Ezekiel. This information is in Ezekiel, Chapter Forty-four.
Revelation 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 G3129 that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
G3129
μανθάνω
manthanō
man-than'-o
Prolonged from a primary verb, another form of which, μαθέω matheō, is used as an alternate in certain tenses; to learn (in any way): - learn, understand.
This sealing is to put the TRUTH of GOD’S WORD into their foreheads so that they can teach. Dan and Ephraim are not listed because of idolatry. Levi and Joseph were put in their place. But in the Millennium chapters of Ezekiel (chapter 48 in particular), Dan and Ephraim are reinstated.
]
Revelation 14:4 These are they which were not defiled with G3326 women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits G536 unto God and to the Lamb.
[
Note:
This is Spiritual, not physical. The women they were not defiled along side of is GOD’S children, the great white whore that worships satan. The 144,000 came to the TRUTH (Sealed) and repented of worshiping satan. At that point, they were virgins again because they repented while still in the flesh. These are the first Jewish fruits, or firstfruits of Israel. They are twelve thousand from each of the listed tribes of Israel as listed in Revelation chapter seven. These are they who Zerubbabel was a type of in the books of Haggai and Zechariah, and who the Levitical priests are a type of in the millennial chapters of Ezekiel (chapters forty to the end of Ezekiel).
These are not GOD’S seven thousand, the election that were predestined before the foundation of the world. The Zadoc (the justified ones), which are the priests of Zadoc, which did not go astray in the Millennial chapters of Ezekiel are types of the election, the seven thousand.
JESUS is The KING PRIEST (MELCHIZEDEK), which means KING OF THE JUST; KING of the election.
When were we justified? Before the foundation of the world (before Genesis). When the priests of the Zadoc testified to the Levitical priests, the Levitical priests came out of confusion (deception). See Ezekiel, chapter forty to the end of Ezekiel. JESUS is of the lineage of Judah and the tribe of Aaron and is MELCHIZEDEK, THE KING PRIEST.
G3326
μετά
meta
met-ah'
A primary preposition (often used adverbially); properly denoting accompaniment; “amid” (local or causal); modified variously according to the case (genitive case association, or accusative case succession) with which it is joined; occupying an intermediate position between G575 or G1537 and G1519 or G4314; less intimate than G1722, and less close than G4862): - after (-ward),X that he again, against, among, X and, + follow, hence, hereafter, in, of, (up-) on, + our, X and setting, since, (un-) to, + together, when, with (+ -out). Often used in composition, in substantially the same relations of participation or proximity, and transfer or sequence.
G536
ἀπαρχή
aparchē
ap-ar-khay'
From a compound of G575 and G756; a beginning of sacrifice, that is, the (Jewish) first fruit (figuratively): - first-fruits.
]
Revelation 14:5 And in their mouth was found no guile: G1388 for they are without fault before the throne of God.
[
Note:
G1388
δόλος
dolos
dol'-os
From δέλλω dellō (an obsolete primary probably meaning to decoy; compare G1185); a trick (bait), that is, (figuratively) wile: - craft, deceit, guile, subtilty.
In their mouth was found no lie, meaning they know the TRUTH. They know who the fake CHRIST is and they know WHO the TRUE CHRIST is. Instead of blowing fire, smoke, and brimstone (lies) out of their mouths like the evil ones, they spoke TRUTH.

Revelation 14:6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
Revelation 14:7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
[
Note:
The everlasting Gospel is GOD’S WORD. GOD’S WORD never changes. It’s the same today, yesterday, and for all time. Revere GOD and love HIM for the hour of HIS judgment is come. Verse seven shows the timeframe of what is happening. GOD’S WORD will be preached throughout the Millennium and then the judgment will come. This is the Great White THRONE Judgment of ALMIGHTY GOD.
]
Revelation 14:8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
[
Note:
Babylon is the end time one world system beast of Revelation thirteen. It’s the baal system of satan. The devil wants the people to worship many gods that all point back to him. Their fornication is idolatry, which is the spiritual equivalent of adultery. They worship the devil instead of ALMIGHTY GOD. Mark this point in time: Babylon is fallen; the hour of temptation is over.
The Marriage Supper of the LAMB has not happened yet. It will be spoken of in chapter nineteen of this great book. Many rapture believers will try to deceive you into believing they are raptured away for The Marriage Supper Of The LAMB before the great tribulation occurs, and use the verses in chapter nineteen out of context for their deceptive purpose. The Marriage Supper Of The LAMB does not happen until after the great tribulation, until AFTER Babylon the great has fallen.
]
Revelation 14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
Revelation 14:10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
Revelation 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: G1519 G165 G165 and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
[
Note:
This is a serious warning to those that worship satan and his one world system. The mark of the beast in their forehead means they fall away from the TRUE CHRIST, and are deceived by satan and believe that satan is JESUS, THE TRUE CHRIST.
It’s the opposite of The Seal Of GOD, which is to know The TRUTH. The mark in their hand is in their right hand. Your right hand is symbolic of your work.
It means that they participate in, and work to build satan’s one world system. We have studied in other books that those who worship the devil will be cast into outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. This is that torment, the thirst that the rich man wanted Lazarus to bring for him the drop for his dry tongue.
Many will make it through the Millennium and participate in the second resurrection, many will not make it. Those who do not overcome satan at the end of the Millennium receive the second death, which is the death of the soul.
They will be cast into the lake of Fire along with the devil. GOD is a consuming FIRE. GOD can and does get very angry, but our GOD is not cruel. Where it states that their smoke ascendeth up for ever and ever means until the end of the age (which is at the end of the Millennium after The Great White THRONE Judgment).
G1519
εἰς
eis
ice
A primary preposition; to or into (indicating the point reached or entered), of place, time, or (figuratively) purpose (result, etc.); also in adverbial phrases.: - [abundant-] ly, against, among, as, at, [back-] ward, before, by, concerning, + continual, + far more exceeding, for [intent, purpose], fore, + forth, in (among, at unto, -so much that, -to), to the intent that, + of one mind, + never, of, (up-) on, + perish, + set at one again, (so) that, therefore (-unto), throughout, till, to (be, the end, -ward), (here-) until (-to), . . . ward, [where-] fore, with. Often used in composition with the same general import, but only with verbs (etc.) expressing motion (literallyor figuratively.
G165
αἰών
aiōn
ahee-ohn'
From the same as G104; properly an age; by extension perpetuity (also past); by implication the world; specifically (Jewish) a Messianic period (present or future): - age, course, eternal, (for) ever (-more), [n-]ever, (beginning of the, while the) world (began, without end). Compare G5550.
]
Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
[
Note:
The saints are the set aside ones. It’s GOD’S election. The patience of the saints is that they do not follow satan’s one world system or join his church.
They don’t fall into temptation and are patient to wait for THE TRUE CHRIST to return.

Revelation Chapter Fourteen - Part 2
Tuesday, October 18, 2022
Revelation 14:13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
[
Note:
When a person is saved under the Blood of CHRIST, they make the first resurrection. But their reward is based on their Works. The only thing that a person can take from this flesh life when they leave, is their Works.
Works can be something as simple as smiling at a depressed person to help bring them out of their sadness.
It can be spreading GOD’S TRUTH.
The fine linen that makes up our robes in Heaven are made of the righteousness of saints, which means our righteous acts; our Works.
If a person has no Works, they will be naked in Heaven.
Revelation 19:6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
Revelation 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
Revelation 19:8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
Revelation 19:9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
Revelation 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
If a person falls away to satan and comes out of doing so while they are still in flesh, and they repent and ask forgiveness in JESUS Name, GOD is faithful to forgive.
They are then Spiritual virgins. It is as though they had not sinned in the first place. They make the first resurrection. But do not believe that old fable of “once saved, always saved”; for if a person falls away to satan, they are rejecting the TRUE CHRIST.
If they do not repent while they are still in flesh, they will receive the full Iron Rod discipline of the Millennium and will have to overcome satan at the end in order to make the second resurrection.
If they don’t make the second resurrection, they receive the second death (the lake of FIRE).
In the following verses, JESUS says that no man can pluck those that are HIS out of FATHER’S Hand. This is TRUTH. But HE is speaking of those that hear (ears to hear) HIS voice. This applies to GOD’S election. GOD’S election have eyes to see and ears to hear, and know TRUTH. It is not the same as those who have free will. If one of GOD’S election were to fall away to satan and worship him, that is the unforgivable sin. Once that sin is committed, it’s too late. There is no forgiveness. I do not believe that any of GOD’S election would commit the unforgivable sin. We already chose WHO we love before the foundation of the world when we First trusted in CHRIST.
John 10:22 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.
John 10:23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.
John 10:24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
John 10:25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.
John 10:26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
John 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
John 10:29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
John 10:30 I and my Father are one.
JESUS, Speaking to HIS election, said:
Luke 8:10 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.
]
Revelation 14:14 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
Revelation 14:15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
Revelation 14:16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.
Revelation 14:17 And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
Revelation 14:18 And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
Revelation 14:19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
[
Note:
This is the harvest. The tares and those that follow the tares receive justice. This is part of the WRATH Of GOD. It’s The Cup of WRATH that JESUS asked FATHER if it were possible to pass when HE was praying in the Garden of Gethsemane. That Cup could not be passed, it will be poured out.
These angels will harvest the grapes (GOD'S children) with a sickle. A sickle is used to harvest wheat and barley and grains. A sickle is not used to harvest grapes. It would splatter the grapes. This happens at Armageddon, the gathering place of the crowd. And what is the result of harvesting grapes with a sickle? The answer is in verse twenty, below.
]
Revelation 14:20 And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.
[
Note:
A thousand and six hundred furlongs is approximately one hundred and eighty miles.
]
This concludes chapter fourteen of the book of Revelation. All Glory goes to our FATHER; for HIS WORD is a mighty Work.
This chapter speaks of the things that will happen on the earth at the end time. Chapter fifteen will cover those things that will happen in Heaven at the same time.
Dear FATHER, Thank THEE for Blessing our Study of THY WORD! In JESUS' NAME, Amen!
