REVELATION (PART 17) — THE PLENTIFUL HARVEST OF GOD'S PEOPLE

In Revelation 14 we meet the 144,000 again. The people of God who were "sealed" by the Holy Spirit and who "follow the Lamb wherever He goes." These saints are victorious in an ironic way. They are victorious through martyrdom. Just like Jesus! Their martyrdom makes them the "firstfruits" harvest of the apostolic generation. Jesus comes with a "sickle" in hand and reaps this harvest to heaven. Their blood that is poured out will serve as the portion of blood that Babylon will drink in judgment at the end of the age. Their blood will be a seed that will set the tone for a massive growth of the church!
