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.
This should read ‘having His name and His Father’s name written in their foreheads’ (as you can see pointed out in the Companion Bible) meaning the name of God the Father as well as the name of God the Son.
And as you can see in the final chapter of this book of Revelation in verses 3 and 4:
‘And there shall be no more curse: (in the Eternity after the thousand years are finished) but the throne of God and of the Lamb (God the Father and God the Son) shall be in it; and His servants shall serve Him:
And they shall see His face; and His name shall be in their foreheads.’
So the time frame of the vision of the 144,000 John saw in Revelation chapter 14 is a vision of the Eternity after the thousand years are finished because (as we know from Ezekiel chapter 44) only the seven thousand Zadok are allowed to approach Christ during the thousand year long day of the Lord that begins at the seventh trumpet.
As speculation: the reason the 144,000 are predestined to go into the Eternity but have to first be deceived at 666 and then wait until the thousand years are finished to approach Christ might be because the 144,000 hesitated before standing against Satan in the first world age as opposed to immediately springing into action.
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.
The 144,000 are the church in Smyrna we read of back in chapter 2 who are predestined to receive the seed of the seal of God in their foreheads during the grace period of the fifth trumpet and to then during the sixth trumpet be brought out of the confusion (which is what ‘Babylon’ means) when the Holy Spirit speaks through those of the church in Philadelphia during the latter half of the five month long hour of temptation.
It will be at that time that the seed of the seal of God will come to fruition and spring forth within their foreheads causing them to repent along with many who will of their own free will come out of the confusion also at that time being then able to take part in the first resurrection at harvest time which is when the TRUE Christ returns at the seventh trumpet to gather the millennial priesthood who are the good figs written of in Jeremiah chapter 24 to Jerusalem.
4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins.
Because they will have had their spiritual virginity restored when they repented for taking part in the Great Apostasy at 666 and will be part of God’s family tree when the TRUE Husband returns as opposed as to being found with child and giving suck which means impregnated in their forehead with Satan’s deception and spreading it one to another.
Those who fail to repent before the seventh angel sounds will be counted as evil figs and cast into the outer darkness along with the Kenites who are the natural branches of Satan’s family tree and the stones worn smooth that come from the false rock who is the false christ.
But always remember: even a Kenite can be grafted into God’s family tree upon believing in their heart God the Father raised the Lord Jesus Christ from the dead as we know from the 9th verse of Romans chapter 10.
These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever He goeth.
But (again) only after the thousand years are finished because until then only the seven thousand Zadok can approach Christ as you can see in Ezekiel chapter 44.
These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
The 144,000 are the firstfruits of this world age and the seven thousand Zadok are the firstfruits of the first world age, having (without hesitation) stood against Satan when he rebelled which is why their names were written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world which means from the destruction of the first world age as you can see in Appendix 146 of the Companion Bible.
5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
Having already taken part in the first resurrection and gone through the thousand years bearing their iniquity for going astray at 666 (as you can see written of in Ezekiel 44:10) the 144,000 will be without fault at the Great White Throne Judgment being then able to go into the Eternity which is the third world age along with many who will stand against Satan after the thousand years are finished and take part in the second resurrection because of the discipline Christ will teach through the millennial priesthood which will be made up of the Zadok, the 144,000 and whosoever will repent during the final two and a half months of the hour of temptation.
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.
The sixth seal, the sixth trumpet and the sixth vial being when the Babylon of the end times comes into being which is when most Christians will cease to be citizens of the heavenly Jerusalem and become citizens of the Babylon of the end times.
At that time they will lose their virginity (spiritually speaking) when they go from being the virgin bride of the TRUE Christ to the whore of Babylon when they worship Satan instead of Christ.
Satan is the son of perdition (which means he is sentenced to perish in the lake of fire because of his rebellion in the first world age) and the blood of a dead man that we will read of in the 3rd verse of Revelation chapter 16 is the blood of the son of perdition (spiritually speaking) as opposed to the blood of the Son of God.
The blood of the son of perdition is the same thing as the wine of the fornication of the whore of Babylon which is symbolic of most Christians after having been deceived into worshipping Satan when he appears in Jerusalem as the false christ.
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image,
Satan in his role of antichrist (called also the false prophet) is the second beast we read of back in Revelation 13 and his image will be transmitted throughout the globe onto the screens of all the smartphones, computers and televisions beginning at the woe of the sixth trumpet.
and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
Meaning the mark of the beast which is the deception that Satan is Jesus returned that most Christians will receive in their foreheads (where the mind is) or in their right hand which is a figure of speech meaning the work they will do for Satan at that time including spreading his deception one to another.
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; unless they repent before the TRUE Christ returns at the seventh trumpet 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: because they will be blotted out of existence in the lake of fire which means never shall they be any more unless they either repent before the seventh angel sounds or absorb the discipline Christ will teach through the millennial priesthood and stand against Satan (who is the son of perdition) when he gets released from the bottomless pit and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
Meaning those who will be found with child and giving suck (so to speak) when the TRUE Christ returns will go into the millennium not knowing whether they will be blotted out in the lake of fire or if they will go into the Eternity after the thousand years are finished.
Their lives (i.e. their souls) shall hang in doubt before them as you can see in Deuteronomy 28:66 which is part of the curse placed upon those who refuse to diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord our God.
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.
Meaning those who are Christian that die in the flesh before Satan appears as the antichrist because they will not lose credit for their righteous acts in the Great Apostasy.
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.
The harvest is the end of the world (as we know from Matthew 13:39) when the TRUE Christ returns at the seventh trumpet which is when the tares which are symbolic of the Kenites as well as those grafted into Satan’s family tree will be separated from the wheat which are symbolic of those who will be part of God’s family tree at that time.
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.
And (as you can see in Revelation 19:15) this is the same winepress that will be trodden by the Lord Jesus Christ Himself upon His return as King of kings and Lord of lords immediately after the five month long hour of temptation.
20 And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, the wine of the fornication of the whore of Babylon which (again) is the blood of a dead man we will read of in verse 3 of Revelation 16 which is symbolic (spiritually speaking) of the blood of the son of perdition who is that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan who most Christians will be deceived into worshipping instead of Christ at 666 even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.
The discipline Christ will teach through the millennial priesthood (which will consist of the seven thousand Zadok, the 144,000 and whosoever will) is what will purge the wine of the fornication of the whore of Babylon out of those who will fail to take part in the first resurrection at the seventh trumpet.
If having absorbed Christ’s teachings of discipline throughout the thousand years they stand against Satan when he gets released from the bottomless pit they’ll take part in the second resurrection and go into the eternity as citizens of the new which means the eternal Jerusalem in the third world age.
