My Sheep Hear My Voice- Rev. 14:3

My Sheep Hear My Voice- Rev. 14:3

Before Jesus was crucified He told the disciples to watch and pray, something so simple, but they let their physical bodies take over and they fell back asleep. In these last hours of time you need to hear His voice. When He tells you something, it is very important, but most ignore my voice or just discuss it and go on with what they were doing. You will see many things start to happen shortly and if you do not hear and obey His voice,... it will mean death for some of you....Jesus has only your best interest in mind. Christ knows you heart, and if you are truly His you will hear His voice. He awakes many of you at 3am on the dot, but most will roll over and go back to sleep. There are a few who will get up and pray. Your day is filled with so many things and Jesus is the last thing many of you give your time to. But Christ needs to talk to you,... to fellowship with you and only when you are still and quite (3am) can you hear Him,... the rest of your day is so busy you do not have time for Him,... but you need to make time, for time is short and the Lord has instructions for you.

Revelation 14

The Last Division of the Tribulation Week

Rev. 14:1-19:21

The Seven Parenthetical statements

Rev. 14:1-20

This sixth parenthetical passage contains seven statements which come between the seventh trumpet and the first vial as to reception, but not necessarily in fulfillment. The first five statements are necessary to explain certain things which are to transpire between the seventh trumpet and the end of the Week.

The Lamb on Mount Zion with the 144,000 Jews

And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. Rev. 14:3

a new song... The 144,000 and Their New Song

Greek: kainos, renewed; fresh; newly introduced. The song will be new to them (cp. Rev. 5:9; 15:3). It is one no man can learn but the 144,000, implying they have an experience that no other man of any other company has ever had. Songs in Scripture pertain to some special experience. This is true of these in Rev. 5:9; 15:2-4. This was true of the singing of Moses, Miriam, and Israel (Exo. 15:1, 15:20-21); Deborah and Barak (Jdg. 5:1-31); and of many who composed the Psalms of Israel (see titles of the Psalms). This will be true of the songs of Israel in the future tribulation (Isa. 14:4-17); of the tribulation saints (Rev. 15:2-4); and of the saints in Rev. 5:8-10. All will be songs of deliverance. The reason Israel hung their harps upon the willow trees was that they had no deliverance (Psm. 137:1-9; cp. Rev. 18:22).

Ten Distinctions of the 144,000:

1. Their number is unique (Rev. 7:4; 14:1).

2. The only company of people protected from martyrdom by the great whore in the first 3 1/2 years of Daniel’s 70th week (Rev. 6:9-11; 17:6)

3. First Jews saved after the rapture of the church in Rev. 4:1 (Rev. 7:3; 14:3-4)

4. The only company sealed by an angel (Rev. 7:1-8)

5. The only company having the Father’s name written visibly on their foreheads while on earth (Rev. 7:1-3; 14:1)

6. The only company protected from the trumpet judgments (Rev. 7:1-3; 9:4; 12:5)

7. The only company composed entirely of living believers who are saved and translated in one generation (Rev. 7:1-8; 12:5; 14:1-5)

8. The only company of redeemed composed entirely of Israelites (Rev. 7:1-8; 14:1-5)

9. The only company that will experience seeing the terrible judgments of the trumpets upon others and they themselves be protected (Rev. 7:1-3; 9:4; 12:5; 14:1-5)

10. The only company of redeemed Jews that will be suddenly delivered by translation from the great tribulation which will come upon Israel in the last 3 1/2 years of this age (Rev. 7:1-3; 12:5; 14:1-5)

learn that song... The only song where the words or the theme is not given. A new song by a new people of a new theme.

were redeemed from... By this time they were redeemed from the earth, being no longer on earth.

The song of redemption, which is being sung by all these redeemed saints in one gigantic choir. They are rejoicing over the accomplishment of God’s entire redemptive work before Christ’s return (compare Psalms 33:1-3; 40:3; 96:1; 144:9-10; 149; Luke 15:10; see 5:9).

They will sing a new song which no one can learn save the 144,000. These two rewards suggest that they will enjoy a special relationship with God the Son and God the Father from the time of their rapture after a life of faithful, holy service until they come with Christ to the earth. The 144,000 will learn this song and join in thanks for their redemption from the earth through rapture. The earthly, who have rejected the Lord, will not be able to sing this song. It is a song of the redeemed.
Let's begin by looking at the qualifications of this elite group.

They are redeemed from the earth by faith in Christ, "who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads" (14:14b). "They had been redeemed from the earth" (14:3b). And "were purchased from among men" (14:4c). Obviously, these men were first born again by receiving Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord.

John wrote, And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. These singers were apparently a group in heaven. They could be the multitude in white robes mentioned in Rev. 7:9-17. It is better to take the chorus as the 144,000 (cf. Rev. 14:1) who had not yet died and will be in heaven at the heavenly Mount Zion.
