Bible Question:
Emmaus, Regarding Rev 7, Thankyou for your detailed answer about the 144,000. Jews, but I didn't understand your answer about who the MULTITUDE in the same chapter represents and how or if they're a different group from the the 144,000 Jews. I also didn't know what you meant by saying the multitude are the elect. Can you or some one else explain? Chusarcik |
Bible Answer: Chusarcik, Take a look at these other references to see if it helps any. Rev. 22:14 "Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and that they may enter the city by the gates. 15: Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and fornicators and murderers and idolaters, and every one who loves and practices falsehood." Dan. 12:1 "At that time shall arise Michael, the great prince who has charge of your people. And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never has been since there was a nation till that time; but at that time your people shall be delivered, every one whose name shall be found written in the book." Matt. 24:21 "For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be." Gen. 49:10-11 "The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, until he comes to whom it belongs; and to him shall be the obedience of the peoples. Binding his foal to the vine and his ass's colt to the choice vine, he washes his garments in wine and his vesture in the blood of grapes;" The multutude is all the faithful (the elect), not just the martyrs, because the scripture says they have washed their robes , not in their own blood, but in the blood of the Lamb.
