Concerning The 144,000.... My Thoughts on Them.

This just came to me today as I was reading the below scripture and putting it with all of the studies that Steven & I have been covering on RaptureBibleProphecy web-page & Face-Book. It seems there is so much being revealed now that is much different than we had been led to believe because of the omission of those Books of the Apocrypha that now, upon reading, has given so much insight.

Revelation 14:4-5

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.

5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.

Notice that these that follow the Lamb wherever He goes didn't defile themselves with "women"? We've come to believe that these are Spiritual Virgins but when it speaks about spiritual defilement, it uses the term "Harlot" for the woman.

A woman that is given to be a help-mate to a man is not considered a "Harlot" unless, she is like the wife of Hosea, whom by the way was commanded to take a prostitute as a wife. Hosea 1:2. There was a prophetic story in that account that pertained to Israel who had become a Harlot to her Husband, Yahuah God.

No longer do I consider this term "Woman" as I formerly did. It appears that it is speaking of 144,000 men who never had known a woman intimately.

What was the big sin that the Fallen Angels committed once God gave them permission to come down to earth to observe? They soon made a contract among each other to defile themselves with "Women". The basic foundation of that term deals with the mating with actual earthly women.

These 144,000 of the 12 tribes of Israel did not do this.

The next point made is, that these were redeemed from among men, being the first-fruits unto God and to the Lamb.

Who is it that was The First Fruit? It was Yeshua the Christ Himself and who are those that were raised from the dead along with Him?

Those would be those captive on the Abraham Bosom side that were among the First Fruit of men. They were seen by family members at the time that Yeshua arose from the Dead. These are the Captive that He led free.

Do you see, what I am implying here? By time, this First Fruit Resurrection took place, many thousands of years and generation of followers of the Great I Am, had left this life, in which they had gone to their grave waiting to be among the First Fruit of the Tribes of Israel.

The next thing about these men raised as First Fruit along with the Lord Yeshua, there was found no guil within them.

They were dedicated followers of the Great I Am, whom we know is The Christ because Yeshua said, "Before Abraham, I Am". John 8:58. So, from the very beginning until they finished their course until they themselves went to Abraham's Bosom, they awaited for the The Promised Redeemer, the First to arise from the grave. How awesome is that?

These must be the First-Fruit of the Resurrection. Why is it that the End Day ecclesia thinks this applies only to their generation? How about the many, many faithful followers of The Great I Am? Why do we discount them?

The New Testament writers, (since the time of the Apostles) may have erroneously applied these 144,000 as coming out of the End of the Church Age, which does not fit with the timing of the First Fruit resurrected ones that came out of the grave at the time when Jesus was Resurrected.

I hope that this may be considered worthwhile to ponder because there have been generations of those of the Tribe of Israel that could hardly be considered "First-Fruit'. I contend that they may well be The very first fruit that followed Yeshua out of captivity and continue to follow Him wherever He goes.

Revelation 14

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.
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:
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.
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.
5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
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,
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.
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.
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,
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:
11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
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.
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.
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.
16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.
17 And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
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.
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.
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.KJV

Something to ponder

With the help of the Books of the Apocrypha that the Vatican tied to keep hidden from the Believers, we now have the details of the past history of Earth and it's inhabitants. These inhabitants included the Seed of the Serpent and they included those Righteous Ones in whom was found no guile. They follow the Lamb wherever He goes.

Are these men on earth or are they angels in heaven.

The Books hidden from us tell us that they are angels who Yahuah allowed to become earthly men. They took on the skin of humanity.

They followed the Righteous Path and they were the first to be Redeemed as The First Fruit when Yahusha Himself led these captive free on Resurrection Day.
