Daniel 11:33-35 KJVS
And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. [34] Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries. [35] And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.
This study focuses on the 144,000 being awaken when the seeds of the seal of God come to fruition in their minds during the Woe of the Sixth Trumpet, to do the Lord’s work.
Let’s go to John Chapter 11.
John 11:1-4 KJVS
“Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. [2] (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.) [3] Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. [4] When Jesus heard that , he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.”
I believe Lazurus represents the resurrected priesthood after the order of Melchisedek (Hebrews chapter 7) which our Heavenly Father through His only begotten Son’s death and resurrection sent forth. This sickness wasn’t unto death because it was through Jesus Christ’s resurrection that the kingdom of God was taken from the defiled priesthood of Pharisees and given to a nation (Christianity) that would go forth bringing forth the fruits thereof, and within that nation are those who have and will receive the first fruits of the Spirit, they are His chosen, His Elect. Those who are also chosen and are part of the priesthood after Christ’s order are the 144,000 that will stumble and fall into Babylon which is satan’s confusion at the sixth trumpet. They are also known as the Levites (Eziekiel chapter 44 verses 10 through 14) which will come out of that confusion and will join the rest of God’s priesthood who are the Zadok in taking part in the first resurrection upon our true Lord’s return at the Seventh Trumpet. I believe that this story of Lazurus is in part, about those 144,000 Levites that will awaken.
Lazarus name means Eleazar which means God helpeth, and we can see in Exodus Chapter 28, Eleazar who was one of the sons of Arron was consecrated into the priesthood. Later in Numbers Chapter 19, Eleazar was made charge of the sacrifices of the children of Israel.
At this time, even since the grace period of sealing began at the sounding of the Fifth Trumpet in 1969 (which the Woe of this Fifth Trumpet is still being held back) the seeds of the seal of God are being planted in the 144,000, who are predestined to regain spiritual life during the woe of the Sixth Trumpet.
Revelation 7:1-4 KJVS
And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. [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 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.
Continuing with John Chapter 11
John 11:5-10 KJVS
[5] “Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. [6] When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was. [7] Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again. [8] His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again? [9] Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. [10] But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.”
The work that Christ has to do is very important, especially during that time when He walked among many in the flesh, no matter what the danger was. Christ’s time of death was already appointed, so through His resurrection we may also ultimately resurrect and be with Him and have eternal life.
“If any man walk in the day, he stumbelth not, because he seeth the light of this world, but if a man walk in the night, he stumbelth, because there is no light in him.”
We see in Daniel Chapter 11 verses 33 through 35 (the opening scripture of this study) that the 144,000 who are some that understand among the many will fall, that is to say stumble when Satan’s darkness encompasses the earth at the sixth trumpet which will take place in the middle of Daniels Seventieth Week that has been shortened to a five-month period.
And it is very important for Christ to return to them through the Holy Spirit during that time of darkness to revive them.
John 11:11 KJVS
These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
Waken out of a sleep.
John 11:12-14 KJVS
Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well. [13]Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep. [14] Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
The 144,000 who are the church of Smyrna will die spiritually at the sixth trumpet and will come back to life spiritually before the seventh angel sounds.
Revelation 2:8 KJVS
And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;
They will come alive (spiritually) after their fellow servants who are the church of Philadelphia (232 final remnant from the 7000 Zadok), are delivered so the Holy Spirit can speak through them to awaken the 144,000, also many others with free will out of their sleep.
The 144,000 and many who were not predestined but will hearken to what the Holy Spirit will say through the church of Philadelphia will come alive (spiritually) during the woe of the sixth trumpet which is the latter half of the five-month long hour of temptation.
We see the church of Smyrna (144,000) and others that have free will, coming back to life from their spiritual death in Eziekiel chapter 37.
Ezekiel 37:9-10 KJVS
Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord God ; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. [10] So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
Again, when the Holy Spirit speaks through the church of Philadelphia (232 final remnant) during their delivering up, the Latter Rain of Truth will fall upon the seeds of the seal of God that were planted in the 144,000 foreheads before the hour of temptation. It will be at that time those seeds of truth will spring forth. They along with many with free will out of most if not all of the remaining churches spoken about in Revelation chapter 2 and 3, who will hearken to what the Holy Spirit will say through the delivering up of the church of Philadelphia, will come out of Satan’s Babylon, and become this exceeding great army that we see in Eziekiel Chapter 37.
Waken out of a sleep to serve with church of Philadelphia, they and others will also go forth to do good works for our Lord.
Speaking of waking out of a sleep let’s look at Zechariah chapter 4, which speaks of the ones who will be sown in Babylon, which is Satan’s confusion, but will come out of it.
This is Zerubbabel (Ezra Chapter 2 verses 1-2).
Zechariah 4:1-2 KJVS
And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep, [2] And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof:
This candlestick of gold represents the many membered body of Christ before the latter half of the five-month long hour of temptation which is the time span of the sixth trumpet.
Zechariah 4:3-5 KJVS
And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof. [4] So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord? [5] Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
Zechariah 4:6-7 KJVS
[6] Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts. [7] Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying , Grace, grace unto it.
It will not be by their might or their power, but only by the power of the Holy Spirit, that the 144,000 and many who have freewill out of most if not all of the remaining five churches spoken about in Revelation Chapter 2 and 3, will come out of Satan’s Babylon before the true Rock (Daniel Chapter 2 verses 32 through 35) who is Jesus Christ returns at the Seventh Trumpet.
Before Zerubbabel, who those of Gods awakened priest are symbolic of, Satan’s kingdom which will be his mountain that will fill the whole earth with a defiled promise of life, will become a plain upon the true Christ return. They will then go forth together and join the 7,000 Zadok as one candlestick in the millennium, which is the Lords Day, and will have their part with the 7,000 Zadok in the millennial priesthood to shine the Lord’s light into outer darkness. Shining that Light for those who were found still in Satan’s kingdom when the true Christ return.
Zechariah 4:8-10 KJVS
[8] Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, [9] The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto you. [10] For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the Lord , which run to and fro through the whole earth.
With those seven which are the 7,000 Zadok (that will include the 232 final remnant of that 7000) that are the eyes of the Lord, they who are the 144,000 and many others who will also take part in the first resurrection, will hold the plummet of truth which is Christ millennial teachings of discipline throughout the 1,000 years. It will be through Christ’s teachings through His millennial priesthood that will bring many (if they choose) out of outer darkness and into Gods true Light who is Jesus Christ to go into Eternity which is the third world age to come.
This is Lazarus who is symbolic of a priesthood, and also those who will awaken and return to that priesthood, whom Jesus loves.
To be continued.
