REVELATION
«Chapter 7»

After this I 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.

Then I 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 power to harm the land and the sea: “Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.” Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel.

After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. And they cried out in a loud voice:
  “Salvation belongs to our God,
  who sits on the throne,
  and to the Lamb.”

All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying:
  “Amen!
  Praise and glory
  and wisdom and thanks and honor
  and power and strength
  be to our God for ever and ever.
  Amen!”

Then one of the elders asked me, “These in white robes—who are they, and where did they come from?”

I answered, “Sir, you know.”

And he said, “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore,
“they are before the throne of God
and serve him day and night in his temple;
and he who sits on the throne
will spread his tent
over them. Never again will they hunger;
never again will they thirst.
The sun will not beat upon them,
nor any scorching heat.
FOR THE LAMB AT THE CENTER OF
THE THRONE WILL BE THEIR SHEPHERD;
HE WILL LEAD THEM TO SPRINGS
OF LIVING WATER.
AND GOD WILL WIPE AWAY
EVERY TEAR FROM THEIR EYES.”

“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.”

We artists do try hard, but can’t even come close. :-)

True. The Spirit greatly blesses those who make a wholehearted effort.

144,000 sealed. How are the rest being misled. Clearly the rules are laid out in the Torah, Prophets and in the Renewed Covenant. Clearly Hasatan is a manipulator and a liar. Those that truly seek Hashem and his truth should not be so easily misled.
