The Book of Revelation: Chapter 14
CHAPTERS 14-15 PRONOUNCEMENTS & PREPARATIONS FOR FINAL JUDGMENT
These chapters reveal the preparations for the final judgments and the kingdom. The first part of this vision concerns the 144,000. Their final victory is seen. They will survive the Tribulation period intact and will be present at the return of Christ. This is in contrast to the millions that will be martyred, but many will survive until the end of the Tribulation. The 144,000 are literally standing on Mount Zion in Jerusalem with Christ at His return. They have remained pure throughout the time, following the Lamb without fail. They were the "firstfruits,” i.e. the first taken as God's servants during the Tribulation period.
The Truth Shall Set You Free
Today’s Sermon
Resolved: Contentment in the New Year
Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. Proverbs 27:1
Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. Heb. 13:5-6
Three hand-wringing worries that will ruin the New Year:
- Weakness – “What can I do about it? I’m not in control”
- Fear of the unknown – “what if…what if….what if….”
- Direction – “I don’t know what to do”

Scripture Reading
Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall He not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, what shall we eat? or, what shall we drink? or, with what shall we be clothed? For your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matt. 6:30-33
