All Things Spiritual-Revelation 14

In Revelation 14, a Lamb stands on Mount Sion with a hundred and forty-four thousand followers, who are redeemed from the earth. These followers are not defiled with women, but are virgins who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They are the first fruits of God and the Lamb, and their worship is characterized by powerful, melodious songs of praise. These followers are characterized by purity, loyalty, predestination, and integrity. They are chosen from among humanity as first-fruits, representing excellence in grace and serving as an example for others to emulate. Their hearts are true to God, and their imperfections are forgiven through Christ. This passage celebrates the blessed connection between Jesus and his followers, glorifying him through them and finding their glory in him. Another angel flies in the midst of heaven, preaching the everlasting gospel to all nations and people.
