David’s Son and David’s Lord, the Lamb slain and therefore the Lion of Judah: about to reign over Israel, and thence over the
166
whole earth.

The God of Judah is the same God for all the tribes of Israel. Venus' glyph is the symbol of a woman. Israel is
referred to in scripture as the woman in Revelation 12:1-2. Therefore, we can interpret this sign in the heaven as
protection over 144,000 by God. God provides a seal in their foreheads for both a mark of ownership as well as
for protection from God’s Wrath as well as protection from Satan himself. R. Jamieson’s Commentary refers to
the Root of David as the “Lamb slain and therefore, the Lion of Judah.” The Lamb, Christ is seen on Mount Zion
with the 144,000, who are said to be found blameless. Therefore, they are saved believers.

The Lamb and the 144,000 on Mount Zion

Revelation 14:1-5 “Then I looked, and behold, the Lamb was standing on Mount Zion, and with
Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His name and the name of His Father written
on their foreheads.

2 And I heard a voice from heaven, like the sound of many waters and like the sound of loud
thunder, and the voice which I heard was like the sound of harpists playing on their harps.
3 And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders;
and no one could learn the song except the one hundred and forty-four thousand who had been
purchased from the earth.
4 These are the ones who have not been defiled with women, for they have kept themselves chaste.
These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These have been purchased from
among men as first fruits to God and to the Lamb.

167
5 And no lie was found in their mouth; they are blameless.”
September 2393: we have arrived to the timeframe of the sealing of the 144,000 from the Wrath of God.

Most Bible scholars assume that the 144,000 are sealed prior to Judgment Day. We have shown this is Biblically
correct, since this occurs prior to the First Trumpet Judgment. Many have speculated that the 144,000 where
saved because of seeing the Rapture. Is there Biblical evidence to support this statement? They were blameless
and bond-servants of God, which says they were saved. We don’t know if it was because of seeing the Rapture
event or not. The sealing of the 144,000 occurs after the Day of the Lord, but prior to the Day of Judgment. The
correct representation on the timeline chart is shown here. The sealing 144,000 occurs prior to Satan being cast
down on the earth that we will see in the next chapter. This is for protection against Satan as well. Let us take a
look at what J.F. Walvoord has to say about the 12 tribes of Israel.
