AMPLIFIED 2015 | Revelation 7:9 ¶ After these things I looked, and this is what I saw: a vast multitude which no one could count, [gathered] from every nation and from all the tribes and peoples and languages [of the earth], standing before the throne and before the Lamb (Christ), dressed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands; |
Bible Question:
In Revelation 7 Ver 3 and 4 - 3 Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God. 4Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel. Does this mean that only 144,000 people will asend to heaven no matter how loyal they are to following gods word? |
Bible Answer: Last in I looked God throne was still in heaven. It sounds to me you have been speaking to a certain religious group, who I will not mention. However I will say this teaching is back wards the multitude is in heaven and the 144,000 as you can see is on the earth. This passage is highly figurative and highly figurative passages should be left as figurative and not literal! |
