(Lesson 644)(05-23-13) Revelation 14:1-5, "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. 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: 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 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. And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
This lesson appears to represent the return of Jesus to join with the twelve of each of the twelve tribes of Israel who are redeemed during the tribulation period.
An interesting note within this text is the reference to a "new song" that only the one hundred and forty four thousand could understand. ~
