Revelation 14 part 1 – The regal lamb and his sealed servants
Please visit our website:

2. Chapter 14 as an overview The pattern The Lamb takes his stand
His servants sealed
Before His throne
On Mount Zion
3 Proclamations of 3 angels
The gospel
The destruction of Christ-less religion
The judgement on those who worship the beast
The reaping of the harvest of the earth
Good harvest
Bad harvest

3. The scene 144000 Standing with The Lamb Protection in verse 1
Revelation 7
Sealed Jews with evangelistic ministry to all nations
Standing with The Lamb
Protection in verse 1
Praise verses 2 & 3
Purpose verse 4
Protection involves:
The presence of The Lamb
Romans 8 v 38 – nothing shall separate us
Hebrews 13 v 5 & 6 – never leave us or forsake us
Psalm 23 – shall not want

4. The scene Protection also depends on the place
Mount Zion
The lamb standing there
Rev 5 verse 6 – the lamb standing
Ephesians 1 verse 20 – seated at the right hand of God
Many believe the standing posture in Revelation equates to Him taking His Kingly authority
It is dramatic, regal and active
And He is standing on Mount Zion
Hebrew 12 verses 18 – 25 – are come to Mount Zion
Mount Zion is where David’s tomb is
It’s not all that impressive and is lower than other mounts around it

5. The scene Yet Psalm 2 v 6 – set my King on my Holy Mountain
Psalm 48 speaks of Mount Zion as the place of God’s praise
The name means fortified
David built a citadel there
The temple was build close to this spot and the term Zion was extended to include this
It is used to describe the people of God – Isaiah 60 v 14
Jesus is described as ‘The cornerstone of Zion’ - Isaiah 28 v 16
Quoted in 1 Peter 2 v 6
It is also described as a place people will ‘go up’ to – Isaiah 40 v 9

6. The scene
Zion is in prophecy as a place that will prosper and where the righteous will dwell – Isaiah 52 v 1
Psalm key verse 13 – The Lord has chosen Zion
Isaiah 2 verses 1 – 5 – Zion elevated
Topographical changes needed
What about the seals
Revelation 3 verse 12 – sealed and named
The writing of the Father’s name = ownership
2 Corinthians 1 v 22 – sealed and anointed (earnest and pledge)

7. The scene Ephesians 1 v 13 & 14 – sealed, earnest and pledge
What is the purchased possession?
Rom 8 v 23 and following – our body
Phil 3 v 21 – fashioned like His glorious body
He has redeemed us physically and spiritually
Revelation 21 v 4 – no more pain or death
Pledge or earnest often said to mean ‘down-payment’
This is too restricted
Its real significance is ‘the engagement ring’
How apt that there would be a link to marriage
Hosea 2 v 19 and following – God will betroth Israel to Himself

8. The scene Praise Purpose – rev 14 v 4 & 5
Harpers and voices – could be the church in heaven
Rev 5 v 8
New song – fresh rather than new – new in quality – new standard
Already in the Old Testament, but fresh and with new meaning now
Psalm 33 v 3 – 5 – new song
Psalm 96 – new song
Psalm 98 – new song
Psalm 144 – v 9 & 10 – new song
Purpose – rev 14 v 4 & 5
They had moral purity
Possibly never married (celibate), possibly simply morally pure

9. The scene Purpose (cont’d) Again the link with marriage
Matt 24 v 21 and following – they were elect
Matt – they were ready for the marriage
Again the link with marriage
For the engagement the groom comes to the bride’s house
For the marriage the bride comes to the groom’s house
Virgins were always attendants at the wedding
Israel is the virgin
2 Kings 19 v 21
Isaiah 37 v 22
Jeremiah 18 v 13 and 31 v 4 and v 21
They follow the lamb wherever He goes – the lamb is the shepherd
Luke 9 v 23
Romans 11 v 25 & 26 – temporary blindness to allow the Gentiles in, but Israel will be saved.
Jude 24
