Revelation 7:1-8 "Interlude: The 144,000"
Pastor: Brian Henson Series: Revelation Topic: Eschatology Scripture: Revelation 7:1–8
Introduction – Chapter 6 left us on a cliffhanger with a question: “The great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?” That’s the question at the end of chapter 6 -- the opening of the 6th seal, and before we get to the 7th seal, that question “who can stand” will be answered – those who will can stand the wrath of the Lamb are the 144,000 in chapter 7.
Challenging questions this passage presents:
- What is different about the listing of the 12 tribes? (Relevant passages: Genesis 49 & Numbers 34)
- Where are the tribes of Dan and Ephraim?
- Why are Levi and Joseph included?
- Is the 144,000 a literal number or is it symbolic for something else?
- Who are the 144,000?
