The 144,000

& The Bride of Christ

By Michelle Dulin

March 1, 2005

All of Gods People are Sealed

Ezekiel 9:

4 And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city,

through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the

foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the

abominations that be done in the midst thereof.

5 And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him

through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have

ye pity:

6 Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and

women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and

begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which

were before the house.

7 And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with

the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city.

8 And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was

left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt

thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury

upon Jerusalem?

9 Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and

Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city

full of perverseness: for they say, The LORD hath forsaken the

earth, and the LORD seeth not.

10 And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have

pity, but I will recompense their way upon their head.

11 And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which had the inkhorn

by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast

commanded me.

Ecclesiastes 1:9

The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which

is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing

under the sun.

Revelation 7:

2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the

seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four

angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,

3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we

have sealed (sphragizo) the servants of our God in their foreheads.

4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there

were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the

tribes of the children of Israel.

5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of

Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were

sealed twelve thousand.

6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of

Nephthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of

Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.

7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe

of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar

were sealed twelve thousand.

8 Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the

tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of

Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.

144,000 of the Tribe of Israel is sealed by God during the Great

Tribulation in fulfillment of His promise:

Romans 9:

27 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the

children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be

saved:

28 For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness:

because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.

Israel will come in when the time of the Gentiles is fulfilled:

Romans 11:

25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this

mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that

blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the

Gentiles be come in.

Luke 21:

22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are

written may be fulfilled.

23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give

suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land,

and wrath upon this people.

24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led

away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden

down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

Joel 2:

30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood,

and fire, and pillars of smoke.

31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into

blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD come.

32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the

name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in

Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the

remnant whom the LORD shall call.

The Gentiles are also sealed:

II Corinthians 1:

21 Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath

anointed us, is God;

22 Who hath also sealed (sphragizo) us, and given the earnest of

the Spirit in our hearts.

Ephesians 1:

13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth,

the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed,

ye were sealed (sphragizo) with that holy Spirit of promise,

Ephesians 4:

30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed

(sphragizo) unto the day of redemption.

The Seal of God is to differentiate between the redeemed and the

unredeemed on the earth.

This is a vision of all God's people Jew & Gentile after they have

been redeemed and come out of the Great Tribulation:

Revelation 7:

9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man

could number, of all nations (Jew & Gentile Collectively), and

kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and

before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their

hands;

10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which

sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the

elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their

faces, and worshipped God,

12 Saying, Amen: Blessing (1), and glory (2), and wisdom (3), and

thanksgiving (4), and honour (5), and power (6), and might (7), be

unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.

13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are

these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?

14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me,

These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have

washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the

Lamb.

15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him

day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall

dwell among them. 16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst

any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.

17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed

them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and

God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

Same Vision of the Final End:

Revelation 21:

3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the

tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and

they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and

be their God. 4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes;

and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying,

neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are

passed away.

The Ultimate Climax is The Bride of Christ, God's Holy Temple,

True Israel, the Body of Jesus built on the foundation of the 12

tribes (Revelation 21:12-14), twelve apostles (Matthew 10:2) &

Jesus being the Chief Cornerstone.

Ephesians 2:

19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but

fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets,

Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;

21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an

holy temple in the Lord:

22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God

through the Spirit.

A city is built together of many centralized habitations.

Jesus is the bridgegroom Luke 5:35

Luke 3:

29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom:

Isaiah 54:

5 For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name;

and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole

earth shall he be called.

Greetings Mdulin,

Just a few things I disagree with your analysis. It would appear that you have not given due consideration to the destruction of the Temple and Jerusalem in 70 A.D. As you have referred to Eccl 1:9, indeed history does repeat itself and Israel is the example to which the church must look as the archtype, but details vary and only by finely dividing the Word of Truth, are we able to discern the differences.

Secondly, in Rev 7, I believe it is fair to consider that all the gentiles are also sealed upon their foreheads at the same time as the 144,000.

By the way, you might want to look into the Greek meaning for the word "all", as in all Israel. The word is "pas", and does not mean "every single one", but a certain amount of each of several groups. Such as when in Romans when it says All Israel, the picture you see is the 12,000 from each of the Tribes of Israel, even as shown in Revelation.

Thirdly, "there is neither Greek nor Jew in the Kingdom of God." The Olive Tree shown in Romans 11 is the "Kingdom of God", which was taken from the Jews and given to a "people group", KJV - nation, that would produce fruit. We see that Jesus ministry was "to the lost sheep of Israel", BUT, upon His death and resurrection, the disciples were told to go into ALL THE WORLD. IOW, to the gentile nations. Thus was Israel "broken off", and the gentiles which are a "wild olive tree" which produced no fruit, would have its branches grafted into the tended Olive Tree, and would produce fruit.

There are absolutely no scripture in the OT or the NT, specifically, that says that gentiles will become Jewish or be grafted into the Jews, or replace the Jews, but in fact, we "draw nigh to those True Jews" as brothers and sisters in Christ IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

Now dig around the scriptures and come up with a definition of "the Kingdom of God". In places, it is sometimes also referred to as the Kingdom of Heaven, or the Lord's Kingdom. Remember Jesus Words: "Since He was there performing miracles, then the Kingdom of God, had come unto them." Elsewhere He tells us that the Kingdom of God is AMONG us, or IN us.

Since the Kingdom of God was taken from Israel, it meant that BEFORE it was under their "guardianship", IOW, of all the nations of the earth, THEY were chosen to be the "nation" wherein God would reveal Himself - in times past.

So, I'll let you given those things some consideration for now.

Blessings,

Dad Ernie

God has been speaking to me much lately concerning the events that are about to unfold. He has assured me that we are in the last days, that his coming is near, that he is bringing down his judgments on the earth, that a major or several major catastrophes will take place that will usher in the time of tribulation, that there will be survivors and those survivors will be exiles and he is preparing cities of refuge (not for criminals) for those exiles and that they will form Christian communities not unlike how the church is described in Acts 2 and they will be his messengers and witnesses during the tribulation. The past couple of days he has been speaking to me through passages in I Kings and Exodus, in comparing those events with what is about to happen now in this time in history.

This past Sunday I read I Kings 6:37-38: "The foundation of the temple of the LORD was laid in the fourth year, in the month of Ziv. In the eleventh year in the month of Bul, the eighth month, the temple was finished in all its details according to its specifications. He had spent seven years building it." Now, I know this is obscure, but let me share with you how God relayed this to me. The Lord put me in a strong leadership role in our ministry (along with my husband) in February of 2002. This would be my fourth year of leadership. The month of Ziv is the second month in Hebrew, which I took to mean February, so I fully expected God was going to lay the foundation for his temple/church in some fashion that day or the next. Please stay with me here. Then, I got on this website and found an article about the Sanhedrin being reformed and their plans for rebuilding the temple. There was discussion of the "foundation" for the temple.

The article mentioned two dates: One was Jan 20 and the other was Feb 9th, I believe. I remembered having a dream on Jan 20 about two groups of foreign people as though they were in bunk beds, one on top of the other, and then they were separated and placed side by side, instead. I wondered if this could perhaps have something to do with the Sanhedrin or the rebuilding of the temple. There was more to the dream. There was a feeling of war between these two groups of people and a sense that they had to be kept separate. There were also two documents in the dream, one that was plain and easily understood and another that was covered somehow so that it was not understood. Then, I checked my journal for my QT on the 9th of Feb and discovered a scripture verse: Exodus 26:30 "Set up the tabernacle according to the plan shown you on the mountain." Now, God had been giving me promises about building his church here during the time of tribulation and that he was going to use these Christian exiles to be an army for the Lord in reaching people for Jesus. So, I assumed this is what he was talking about. But, I also think it applies to the rebuilding of the Jewish temple.

The Lord has been giving me a strong sense that all of this is going to happen very soon. Then, last night my husband was reading a passage to me out of Exodus 13: "Today, in the month of Abib, you are leaving. When the LORD brings you into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Hivites and Jebusites
