Season 2 Episode 12

1) The Lamb (Jesus) and the 144,000 (12,000 men from each tribe of Israel) standing on Mount Zion (God’s Holy City).
     a) They have the name of Jesus and His Father on their foreheads.  It is a mark of consecration and ownership.
     b) They are virgins.
     c) They are morally blameless.
     d) They are offered to God and the Lamb as first fruits.
     e) They sing a new song before the throne, the four living creatures and the elders that no one knows but them.
     f) They are redeemed from the earth.
     g) They follow the Lamb wherever He goes.

2) The Church, the Body of Christ, the Bride of Christ is not mentioned in Revelation Chapters 4-18.  If the church is raptured before the tribulation period (7 years) who will preach the gospel during the tribulation period?
     a) The spreading of the Gospel is performed by 144,000 spirit filled Jewish witnesses (Revelation 7: 4-10 & Revelation 14: 1-5).
     b) The Gospel is preached by the two witnesses (most likely: Moses and Elijah) for 1,260 days (42 months or 3 1/2 years) (Revelation 11: 1-12).
     c) After the 144,000 have been redeemed (possibly martyred by the Anti-Christ) and the two witnesses are raptured into heaven, God will send 3 Angels to proclaim the Gospel message (Revelation 14: 6-13).

3) Harvesting the earth and trampling the winepress.
     a) It appears from this passage, that Jesus himself will initiate the harvest (Revelation 14:14).
     b) The treading of grapes in the Old Testament was symbolism for the wrath of God against the ungodly.
     c) At the end of the tribulation period we will see unbelievers judged in the valley of Jehoshaphat prophesied by the prophet Joel.  Joel 3: 1-16 mentions the grapes, winepress, sickle and harvest (Mathew 13: 36-43, Daniel 12: 5-13, Matthew 25: 31-33).
