Category: COMING EVENTS

Around New Years day, all the media will be reviewing the past year. WHAT WAS THE TOP TEN STORIES last year? NATIONALLY? LOCALLY?

What were the top ten stories in your life? A new Car? Home? Boat, Motorcycle? Ski Doo? A new Job? A new Baby? A Big Vacation? A close call with death? A major operation? An Accident? Death of a Loved one? A falling out with family? Friend?

Think about it for a minute. Then list the top ten events in your life. Now ask yourself three questions.

⬤ Was God involved in these event?
⬤ Was God honored in these events?
⬤ Was God glorified in these event?

God involved?
Romans 14:8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s.
2 Corinthians 5:15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.

God Honored?
Romans 6:12-13 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
Romans 12:1-2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

God Glorified?
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.

Yes, the Lord God, Christ Jesus, died for your sins and offered salvation to all who will accept it. (Romans 10:9-13). And then He wants to be involved in your life, Honored by your life, Glorified by your life. Will/Do you let Him?
PAST………PRESENT……….FUTURE…….. represents our life

PAST…. Is History, can’t be changed, only put under the blood and forgiven!

PRESENT….NOW! Today, the time to Involve God in your life. Honor God in your activities. Glorify God in all that you do.

FUTURE….The hope of things to come. When it becomes Past, how will the top ten events in your life be represented?

At the end of this year, What will be the top ten stories in your life?

Just who are they? Many groups have claimed that THEY are part of the 144,000. But what saith the Scripture? The only place that they are mentioned is in the book of REVELATION. So, starting with 1st mention of the 144,000 in Revelation 7:4. Let’s see who are described: (fourteen facts)
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.
1st it states they are from the tribes of Israel. That makes them Jews.
2nd each of the 12 tribes are listed (7:5-8) and it states 12,000 from each tribe. Ergo 12,000 x 12 = 144,000 All Jews!
3rd it states (7:3) that they are sealed (by God) in their foreheads.
Does this mean others can see the seal?
The next mention of the 144,00 is in Revelation 14:1. Is there more information about them?
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.
4th they are on Mount Sion with the LAMB. (That’s on earth in Israel.)
5th the seal is defined as HIS FATHER’S NAME in their forehead. (NOTE a study of Lamb reveals he is the Lord Jesus Christ)
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.
6th they sing a new song.
7th only they could sing the new song.
8th they were redeemed from the earth. (taken to heaven)
Revelation 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.
9th they are men (not defiled with women).
10th they unmarried (virgins).
11th they follow the Lamb (believe him to be messiah).
12th they are the firstfruits (that’s a whole study).

Revelation 14:5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
13th no guile (sly or cunning) in their mouth.
14th they are without fault (no sin).

Based on the fourteen facts listed above, taken from the book of Revelation, it appears the 144,000 are virgin Jewish men, protected by God, chosen at the beginning of the Tribulation period, who will take the gospel of the kingdom (Jesus is the Messiah and will rule as King) to the world during the Tribulation. Then they will be the FIRSTFRUITS (of Jews) taken to heaven (Bodily).

Who today can claim to be one of the 144,000?

Matthew 16:9 Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

The Lord Jesus came to earth to present the Kingdom of Heaven to the Jews (as promised throughout the Old Testament). And His followers were expecting Him to over throw the Romans and set up this kingdom. But He had to keep warning them NOT YET, there were things that had to be fulfilled first:

Matthew 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
Mark 8:17 And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?
Mark 11:13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.
John 2:4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
John 7:6 Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.
John 7:8 Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast: for my time is not yet full come.
John 7:30 Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
John 7:39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
John 8:20 These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.
John 20:17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
1 John 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

The Apostle Paul writing to the Jewish believers continued to tell them NOT YET:

Hebrews 2:8 Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.
Hebrews 9:8 The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:
Hebrews 12:4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
And even today as we are  “Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; (Titus 2:13)”  We need to remember, though everything has been fulfilled, it’s NOT YET, but Soon!
