AMPLIFIED 2015 | Revelation 7:4 ¶ And I heard how many were sealed, a hundred and forty-four thousand; [twelve thousand] sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel: |
Subject: Literally 12,000 from each tribe? |
Bible Note: Greetings TR144! It is obviously true that 'Israel' can refer to more than just the nation of Israel. However, in no other instance where this is the case, does it break the total number down into a certain number from each tribe. Therefore, what is there in this passage which would lead one to conclude that itis in fact not talking about 144,000 Jews - 12,000 from each tribe? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
