Song # 1666.1 from Our Gospel In Song Collection by Col Johnston. In the Book of Revelation, John tells us that the Lord redeemed 144,000 people from all the tribes of Israel, and a seal was put on their foreheads as servants of God.
John saw four Angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree (Revelation 7:1). Then John saw another Angel coming up from the east, having the seal of the living God. He called out in a loud voice to the four Angels who had been given the power to harm the land and sea (Revelation 7:2). “Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of God” (Revelation 7:3). Then John saw the Lamb before him, standing on Mount Zion, and with Him the 144,000 who had His name and His Father’s name written on their foreheads (Revelation 14:1). John heard a sound from heaven like that of harpists playing their harps (Revelation 14:2). And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No-one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth (Revelation 14:3). These are those who did not defile themselves and kept themselves pure, and they follow the Lamb wherever He goes (Revelation 14:4).
Thought for today: Jesus knows the way to heaven, so follow Him for eternity.
Thought for the future: when Jesus returns, it will be heaven for those who trust and follow Him. Where will you spend your eternity?
