1 And after this I saw four Angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, the sea or any tree. 2 And I saw another Angel coming up from the east, holding the seal of the living Alahim YAHUSHA. And He spoke with a loud voice to the four Angels (who were to harm the earth and the sea) 3 saying, “Don't harm the earth or the sea or the trees yet, until we have sealed the servants of YAHUSHA on their foreheads.”
4-8 And I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 sealed out of all the Tribes of Israel (A SHADOW OF YAHUSHA'S NEW COVENANT BRIDAL FELLOWSHIP TODAY) :
12,000 were sealed from Judah,
12,000 were sealed from Reuben,
12,000 were sealed from Gad,
12,000 were sealed from Asher,
12,000 were sealed from Naphtali,
12,000 were sealed from Menasseh,
12,000 were sealed from Simeon,
12,000 were sealed from Levi,
12,000 were sealed from Issachar,
12,000 were sealed from Zebulun,
12,000 were sealed from Joseph, and
12,000 were sealed from Benyamin.
MOST READ THIS AND THINK THAT THESE SEALED ONES WILL BE "JEWISH" (BECAUSE OF THE TRIBAL NAMES LISTED). BUT WHO ARE THESE 144,000? IS IT NATURAL/NATIONAL ISRAEL TODAY AFTER THE FLESH (MERELY DESCENDANTS OF ABRAHAM, DISOBEDIENT AND DIVORCED)? OR IS IT SPEAKING ABOUT ALL THAT YISHARAL SHADOWED (AFTER THE SPIRIT), FINDING SOME REVELATION AND FULFILMENT IN THE NEW BLOOD-COVENANT BRIDAL FELLOWSHIP? YAHUSHA INDEED LOVED HIS 12 TRIBES AND THE 144,000 REPRESENTS ALL THE MULTIPLES OF 12, JUST LIKE THE STONES ON THE HIGH PRIESTS BREASTPLATE.
BUT YAHUSHA TAUGHT THAT BOTH JEW AND GENTILE MUST BE BORN ANEW FROM A DIVINE SEED. SO TO EXALT THE JEW ABOVE YAHUSHA’S NEW BLOOD-COVENANT FELLOWSHIP IS TO EXALT THE NATURAL AND NATIONAL BIRTH ABOVE THE TRUE, HEAVENLY AND SPIRITUAL BIRTH, WHICH IS STUPID SINCE WE KNOW THAT ONLY THE NEW CREATION IS ACCEPTED BY YAHUSHA. OUT OF EVERY KINDRED, TONGUE, TRIBE AND NATION, ONLY THOSE BORN ANEW (THROUGH DIVINE OPERATION, REMOVAL OF OLD HEART AND SPIRIT AND GIVEN NEW HEART AND SPIRIT WITH DIVINE SEED IMPLANTED) WILL BE ACCEPTED ... IF THEY OVERCOME !!
9 After this I looked and saw a great crowd which no one was able to count, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the Throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes, and palm branches in their hands, 10 crying out with a loud voice, saying,
“DELIVERANCE BELONGS TO YAHUSHA, THE LAMB ON THE THRONE !”
11 And all the Angels stood around the Throne and the Elders and the four Living Creatures, and fell on their faces before the Throne and worshipped YAHUSHA, 12 saying, “AMEIN! ALL BLESSING, MIGHT, WISDOM, THANKSGIVING, AND ALL ESTEEM AND POWER TO OUR ALAHIM YAHUSHA FOREVER AND EVER, AMEIN.” 13 And one of the Elders responded, saying to me, “Who are these people dressed in white robes, and where did they come from?” 14 And I said to him, “I have no idea bro .... but you do!”
And he said to me, “These are the people coming out of the great distress and pressure, having washed their robes, making them white in the Blood of the Lamb FORGIVEN & DELIVERED THROUGH YAHUSHA'S BLOOD. 15 And because of this they are before His Throne, and serve Him day and night in His Temple. And from the Throne He will spread His Tent over them DWELL INTIMATELY WITH THEM. 16 And they won't hunger or thirst anymore, and the sun won't strike them with heat anymore, THINGS OF THE FLESH WILL NO LONGER HINDER THEM! 17 because the Lamb Who's in the midst of the Throne will shepherd them and lead them to fountains of life-giving water LIVING WATERS OF ETERNAL LIFE. And YAHUSHA will wipe away every tear from their eyes.” THERE WILL BE NO MEMORY OR PAIN OF ANYTHING PAST.
