The Lamb and the 144,000
1 Then I looked, and behold, on Ps. 2:6;Heb. 12:22Mount Zion See ch. 5:6stood the Lamb, and with him ch. 7:4144,000 who ch. 3:12had his name and his Father’s name written ch. 7:3on their foreheads. 2 And I heard a voice from heaven See ch. 1:15like the roar of many waters and ch. 6:1;19:6like the sound of loud thunder. The voice I heard was like the sound of ch. 5:8;15:2harpists playing on their harps, 3 and they were singing ch. 5:9a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and before the elders. [ch. 2:17;19:12]No one could learn that song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth. 4 It is these who have not defiled themselves with women, for 2 Cor. 11:2they are virgins. It is these [ch. 3:4;17:14] who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These have been redeemed from mankind as James 1:18firstfruits for God and the Lamb, 5 and Zeph. 3:13;[Ps. 32:2;Isa. 63:8;John 1:47] in their mouth no lie was found, for they are See Jude 24blameless.
