Revelation 14
|
|
| 14:1
And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an
hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their
foreheads. |
 (14:1-4)
"The hundred and forty and four thousand ... which were not defiled with women; for they are
virgins."
Only 144,000 celibate men will be saved. (Those who were not "defiled with women.")
Or are the 144,000 men that are "not defiled by women" homosexuals? Are only gay men to be saved?
What must you do to be saved?
(14:4) "The first fruits unto God"
BOM: 2 Nephi 2:9
|
| 14:2
And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the
voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with
their harps:
|
| 14:3
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.
|
| 14:4
These are they which
were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they
which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among
men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
|
| 14:5
And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before
the throne of God. |
|
| 14:6
And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting
gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and
kindred, and tongue, and people, |
BOM: 1 Nephi 5:18, 11:36,
14:11, 19:17,
22:28;
2 Nephi 26:13, 30:8;
Mosiah 3:13, 3:20
15:28, 16:1,
27:25;
Alma 9:20, 37:4,
45:16;
3 Nephi 28:29
|
| 14:7
Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment
is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the
fountains of waters. |
(14:7) "Fear God."
Should we fear God?
|
| 14:8
And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen,
that great city, because she
made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. |
 (14:8)
"She made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication."
|
| 14:9
And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man
worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in
his hand, |
|
| 14:10
The same shall drink
of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture
into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in
the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: |
 (14:10-11)
"The smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever."
Does Hell exist?
What the Bible says about burning people to death and
torture
(14:11) "ascendeth up for ever and ever:"
BOM: 1 Nephi 15:30, Jacob 6:10,
Mosiah 3:27, Alma 12:17
|
| 14:11
And the smoke of
their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest
day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth
the mark of his name.
|
| 14:12
Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the
commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. |
(14:12)
"Keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus."
What must you do to be saved?
|
| 14:13
And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the
dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they
may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
|
| 14:14
And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like
unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a
sharp sickle. |
(14:14-18) "Thrust in thy sickle, and reap."
Jesus sits on a white cloud with a sharp sickle in his hand. When the angel tells him to reap, he kills all the people with his sickle.
BOM: Alma 26:5
 The Son of Man's Bloody Gorefest
|
| 14:15
And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him
that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come
for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
|
| 14:16
And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the
earth was reaped.
|
| 14:17
And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also
having a sharp sickle.
|
| 14:18
And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and
cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in
thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her
grapes are fully ripe. |
|
| 14:19
And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine
of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
|
(14:19-20)
"Blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles by the space of a thousand six hundred
furlongs."
|
| 14:20
And the winepress was
trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto
the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred
furlongs.
