Sermon:
"Interpreting the 144000 Prophecy"
There have been numerous ideas of the 144000.
God had reasons to put it in His Word.
One reason might be to see what we will do.
It is important to start with a solid foundation to interpret prophecy.
2 Peter 1:19-21
God is not likely to show a single individual person the interpretation of prophecy.
Deuteronomy 13
God gave a warning not to pay attention to those things.
On the Internet, there is confusion.
2 Timothy 2:3
2 Peter 3:7
God is not the Author of Confusion.
God wants peace.
God uses a structure He set for the Church.
2 Peter 2:1
There will be destructive opinions and viewpoints.
They are destructive because they cause division.
The primary method for interpretation of prophecy is through God's true servants.
1 Timothy 3
God's Church is the pillar of God's Truth.
Jesus Christ Himself placed people.
He set the structure.
Ephesians 4:11-14
Jesus Christ gave us the structure so we can grow.
It is to settle us and give us structure to God's Church and God's People.
Ephesians 2:19-22
At some point we all will need to be able to teach these things.
Likely in the millennium.
God has a bigger plan for us.
A significant part of the Bible is prophetic.
The first principle to interpret prophecy is pray for Godly understanding, perspective, a right heart, and humility.
Prepare yourself to be ready.
Ask God for guidance.
Check what the Church says about the prophecy.
Do not start your search on Google or YouTube.
If you do that first you are opening yourself up to all kinds of ideas and confusion.
Pray for a right heart.
2 Timothy 4:3-4
Such a search can lead a person to be double minded and unsettled.
James 1:8
Start with the Church to interpret prophecy.
Look to the ministry.
Accept the fact that many prophecies will not be fully understood until they are fulfilled.
Speculation can be wrong and lead people astray.
2 Timothy 2:15
Understand God has revealed all we need to know about prophecy right now but no more.
He hasn't revealed everything and that's okay.
Exodus 3:12
God doesn't reveal all the details.
God gave Moses all He needed to know at the time.
It is the same with us.
Insecurities can lead us to try to fill in the details.
Our trust is in God.
It is in God's Design that we don't know everything.
It keeps us dependant on Him.
It keeps us looking to Him.
Hebrews 11:6
God requires us to continue to have faith in Him.
God requires faith in Him.
That is a good enough reason for God to not reveal everything to us.
It also helps us not be too self sufficient.
Strive to look past the prophetic details.
Take note of spiritual points in the prophecies.
There is something personal we can learn from the prophecy.
God's Love is shown through prophecy.
Keep our eyes on Him.
Revelation 7:1-4
The timeframe is a break before the seventh seal being opened.
Ezekiel 9:1-6
Revelation 7
Revelation 13
Revelation 14
The forehead pictures our choice of obedience to God or to Satan.
If we get all into details of the prophecy we can miss the meaning for us.
They are revealed as servants of our God.
They are sealed when they are on the Earth.
Don't add things to what the prophecy says.
The 144000 are servants of our God.
They will be the first fruits.
Judges 18
The tribe of Dan and all tribes will eventually be saved.
Romans 11:26
All Israel will be saved.
Ezekiel 48:1
Genesis 48
Revelation 7 reveals two different groups.
The 144000 is before an innumberal amount people from every nation.
Revelation 8:1
Revelation 14:1-
Notice the scene changes.
We'll leave God with the details .
What we don't know we'll leave with God.
The 144000 is not a salvation issue.
