What does Revelations 14 convey to us?

Rev 14:1-20
1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.

What is this "Father's name written in their foreheads"?
This is specifically the 'sealing' of the 144,000.

How could the 144,000 be standing with YAHSHUA, The Lamb?
YAHSHUA is not physically with them, but HE is The COMFORTER, therefore YAHSHUA'S HOLY SPIRIT is with them.
And, the place where HE (HIS HOLY SPIRIT) takes HIS stand is on the highest 'ground', the "mount" (government) of "Sion".
You may want to look upon "Sion" as meaning 'The Church of Triumphant'.

Mount Sion (Zion) physically is the highest hill of Jerusalem.
Spiritually, it is higher in status to anything that is of the earth, including and especially higher than Satan's government.

We can see those of the 144,000 election of Grace, who are sealed, in Revelations 7.

Rev 7:1-8
1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
4 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.
5 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.
6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nephthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.
7 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.
8 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)


Rev 14:
2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.

"and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth."
Nothing and no one could learn this song except "the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth."

Please note that this says, "learn that song".
There were many in Heaven who already knew this song (the message that was conveyed in the words of this song). And, YHVH'S 7,000 shall already have understood the Truth that the song conveys.

In other words, until the point in which YAHSHUA'S 144,000 are 'sealed', they are still learning.
And, they did "learn" and understand, therefore, they were found worthy to be "sealed".

But, most of the world will not have 'eyes to see', therefore, they can not read, with
understanding, the words to this song.
And, most of the world will not yet have 'ears to hear', so they will not be able to hear that which is conveyed in this song.


Rev 14:
4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.

"These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins"
This speaks of spiritual matters, and has nothing to do with earthly genders.
"defiled with women" speaks of idolatry.
"for they are virgins" refers to not having been spiritually seduced nor spiritually impregnated with Satan's evil seeds of deception...for these are spiritually virginal.

As we can see, the 144,000 do not bow to Satan's idolatrous image. They have not been seduced by the deception, for their spirits have remained untouched by Satan's spirit or image.
These have awaited this time of The LAMB through HIS HOLY SPIRIT. And, their spirits shall be wed/joined to HIS HOLY SPIRIT. They are first sealed with YHVH'S/YAHSHUA'S Truth, then as HIS HOLY SPIRIT covers their spirits completely, they are joined within HIS HOLY SPIRIT in the manner and according to the analogy of a man taking his bride, and their becoming one flesh.

"These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb."
In the same manner that they had been called out and redeemed in the 1st Heaven age, they are again the "firstfruits" of this earth age and final generation of the flesh.

What are "firstfruits".
536 aparche-
1) to offer firstlings or firstfruits
2) to take away the firstfruits of the productions of the earth which was offered to God. The first portion of the dough, from which sacred loaves were to be prepared. Hence, a term used of persons consecrated to God for all time.
3) persons superior in excellence to others of the same class
[Thayer's]

YHVH'S/YAHSHUA'S Harvest begins before the 7th Trump. The 7th Trump brings about the very last of the Harvest. All during the growing season, various fruits, maturing at different rates, are ready to be harvested.
And, FATHER'S HOLY SPIRIT does harvest these early fruits, lest they fall to the ground, are spoiled and rot or are trampled on by the beast of the earth.


Rev 14:
6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

After the 'sealing' of the 144,000 election of grace (firstfruits), then the gospel must be
published to all peoples of the world.


Mark 13:9-10
9 But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.
10 And the gospel must first be published among all nations. (KJV)

Acts 2:1-47
1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?
8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?
9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,
10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,
11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.
12 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?
13 Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.
14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:
15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.
16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:
21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:
23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
25 For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:
26 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.
29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.
30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;
31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.
34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
35 Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.
44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.
46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved. (KJV)


Remember, that when YAHSHUA'S disciples/apostles had come into the house, others were already sealed within.

Acts 1:13-14
13 And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.
14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren. (KJV)


Please be mindful that it shall be YHVH'S Voice, HIS HOLY SPIRIT, who shall speak on this 50th/51st day through the mouths of HIS sealed servants.

Ok, we looked at the sealing of the 144,000.

Rev 14:
1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.

FATHER has HIS angels in Heaven to do specific tasks.

As we shall see in the following verses, they consistently refer to "another angel" including the first reference in Revelations 14:6 to an "angel" written as..."another angel".
Appendix 124.1 tells us about the use of the word "another".
Therefore, these verses are a continuation of events (from some previous point in these texts) which are occurring in Heaven, and that is prophesied to occur upon the earth.
So, let us discern from what point in Revelations these events continue.

Rev 11:1-19
1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles:
and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
11 And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
14 The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail. (KJV)

FATHER gave us an overall view of the events of the end days (5 months) in Revelations 11.
There was an "angel", in Heaven, who had the "reed like unto a rod". And, the "angel" gave John this measuring devise so that he could ascertain that which must occur.

Please note that that in Revelations 11:15, that the trump is sounded in Heaven, and their was "great voices" "in heaven"...not yet heard in the earth.
A "trump" is always a forewarning of that which is approaching or about to happen, and not that which is happening at that moment.


Then, in Revelations 14, these other angels (another angel) had tasks to perform both in and from Heaven, and unto Heaven. These verses in Revelations 14 will give further information of that which was forewarned in Revelations 11.

Rev 14:
6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

What did this "another angel" 'flying in the midst of Heaven' (not earth) have in his possession?
"the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people".

Now, remember, the measuring of time in the dimension of Heaven is different than the measuring of time in the earth.

But, those sealed and baptized of YHVH'S HOLY SPIRIT, while their flesh is still of this earth age, their spirits are joined to The HOLY SPIRIT of YAHSHUA who resides in the Heavenly dimension.
So, these goodly servants have Heaven over their heads.

What is the message that shall be given unto those in Heaven and those flesh men who are sealed?
"Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters."

Will these words then be brought forth to the peoples of the earth?

Rev 14:
8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

Then, we are told of "another angel", who is also in Heaven (as we shall understand from the "third angel"), and he is saying, "Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication."

What does this mean? "Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication."

Great tyranny and confusion has come upon the earth. (Those in Heaven and those flesh men sealed are being told of this by this angel.)
(The word "city" is not in the Greek manuscripts.)
How did this occur?
Because all nations (all peoples, all races) shall have their minds/spirits saturated with Satan's blood or polluted wine. And, this is a part of YHVH'S Wrath against those who have done evilly.

Who besides those in Heaven can hear this that this angel said?
Those who have YHVH'S / YAHSHUA'S HOLY SPIRIT upon them at that time shall hear it.

Rev 14:
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

The "third angel followed them"...the first "another angel" was flying "in the midst of heaven" and since the third is following these first two, then the 2nd angel of Revelations 14 must also be in Heaven.

The third angel follows suit, and says with a loud voice, "If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name."

Those in Heaven and YHVH'S/YAHSHUA'S sealed flesh servants shall understand that which FATHER has this angel say.

Rev 14:
12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.

All that these angels had said was given for the benefit of those "saints" which are
YHVH'S/YAHSHUA'S sealed servants.

Then, FATHER'S Word speaks of the "patience of the saints": "here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus."
YHVH has proclaimed who these saints are who are in the earth.
But, who shall hear this proclamation?

Many shall see the proof of this which was written. Only some will see, understand, recognize it just a tad late.

Who can understand that which these angels have given?
Those in Heaven and those who have Heaven over their heads.


Rev 14:
14 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.

Now, we are being told of the harvest.
The "firstfruits" were already harvested...they were the 144,000.

Note, that YAHSHUA is not yet returned in the sight of all men.
Remember how YHVH was in a cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night with the children coming out of the bondage of Egypt? [Exodus 13:22; Deuteronomy 1:33]


Rev 14:
15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.

At this point, another group of people are ready to be harvested, and brought into
YHVH'S/YAHSHUA'S Assembly.
These were reaped by YAHSHUA, HIMSELF.
These are reaped sometime after the 144,000 had been reaped.
Being harvested by YAHSHUA, HIMSELF, rather than by an angel, is significant.

Rev 14:
17 And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.

Then, "another angel" who came out of the "temple which is in heaven" was ready to reap, also.
But, this angel had to wait until he is instructed to begin harvesting/reaping.
This is some time after YAHSHUA began harvesting.

Rev 14:
18 And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.

Then, "another angel" who came out from "the altar, which had power over fire" and shouted to the "angel" of verse 17, and directed him to "Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe."

Now, please note that this speaks only of "clusters of the vine" / "grapes".
And, especially note that these are not harvested by YAHSHUA, but by an angel.
And, what happens to these last "clusters of the vine" / "grapes"?

Rev 14:
19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
20 And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs. (KJV)

These must first be put through the "winepress of the wrath of God".
Why?
To remove the dregs.
How many will survive the great pressure of HIS "winepress"...YHVH'S "wrath"?

Is that it?
Is it over?

No, not yet.
