"The Secret of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revelation of Christ, chapter 7:4, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.

We are still in the grips of a pause before the opening of the seventh seal on the small scroll which has writings on both sides of it. For those who remain as it were in darkness of unbelief and denial these things remain but a mystery only speculated about, so our look at and hearing will undoubtedly be revelation, listen with care. So let us drop in to see and hear what is taking place in this pause.


Revelation 7:4, 5-8 "And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand." (KJV)

Revelation 7:4-8 "And I heard the number of the sealed, 144,000, sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel: 12,000 from the tribe of Judah were sealed, 12,000 from the tribe of Reuben, 12,000 from the tribe of Gad, 12,000 from the tribe of Asher, 12,000 from the tribe of Naphtali, 12,000 from the tribe of Manasseh, 12,000 from the tribe of Simeon, 12,000 from the tribe of Levi, 12,000 from the tribe of Issachar, 12,000 from the tribe of Zebulun, 12,000 from the tribe of Joseph, 12,000 from the tribe of Benjamin were sealed." (ESV)

Revelation 7:4, 5-8 "And I heard the number of those embossed with the impression of GOD'S signet ring; one hundred and forty four thousand - representing the entire tribal system of Israel; they were all sealed with GOD'S signet ring between their eyes! ( This sealing is an act of GOD'S mercy in signifying salvation for all of Israel to see and understand what happened in the death, descent into the underworld and the subsequent resurrection of Jesus the Christ, the enthroned Lamb of GOD. This number 144,000 is a positive integer - Latin, integer, literally, "untouched," whole, entire, i.e. a whole number. As a reminder to his Jewish audience of the prophetic significance of their escape from slavery and how they were protected from the plagues while in Egypt - so now they are protected, yet again.)
Of the tribe of Judah twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand were sealed and of the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand were sealed."

With our next visitation we shall continue on the LORD willing. Until then may our LORD increase through us His numbers of receptive sons and daughters the world over, is my wish.
