Ep 511 – Revelation 14:1-16
from Devotionary Hosted by Ken Miller
With the opening lines of Revelation 14:1-6, a new vision is revealed to John that is far more bright and cheerful than most he has received thus far. This time, he gets a good dose of good news. He is given the privilege of hearing a new song, a song of deliverance, joy, and celebration regarding the mighty work that Jesus Christ is going to do on behalf of the people of God who are alive on the earth during the closing days of the tribulation. John will once again see the 144,000 Jews who have been called by God, but this time they will be standing side-by-side with Jesus. They will bear the seal on their foreheads, marking them as belonging to Him. And these 144,000 will be the only ones who are able to understand the words of the song being sung from heaven. It will be for their benefit, but ultimately to the glory of God. In this passage, we are given a wonderful reminder that God's plan for His people is unwavering and unstoppable. He will do what He has promised to do. He is going to send His Son. He is going to bring an end to Satan and his forces. He will judge all rebellious mankind. And best of all, He will keep every promise He has made to the people of Israel and restore His creation to its former glory.
