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 Lords 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 Lazarus represents that priesthood that will come out of Babylon during the Sixth Trumpet. 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 destined to resurrect (spiritually) 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 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 resurrect 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 and will come back to life (spiritually).
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 after their fellow servants who are the church of Philadelphia which are 232 very elect (the final remnant from the 7000 elect), 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 destined but will hearken to what the Holy Spirit will say through the church of Philadelphia will come alive 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 very elect) 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, that will hearken to what the Holy Spirit will say through that 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 the elect, and elected together with them to go forth to do good works for our Lord (1st Peter Chapter 5 verse 13).
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 Holy Spirit, 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) which is Jesus Christ returns at the Seventh Trumpet.
Before Zerubbabel, which this resurrected priesthood is 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, shining 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 elect (that will include the 232 very elect,) that are the eyes of the Lord, they will hold the plummet of Truth which is Christ millennial teachings of discipline throughout the 1,000 years, thus bringing as many out of outer darkness which you can say their cave, into Gods true Light who is Jesus Christ to go into Eternity which is the third world age to come.
To go along with this study, you may want to look at the One Candlestick Study which is a two-part study that I will post here. Part One and Part Two.
This study focuses on the resurrected priesthood, which I believe Lazarus whom Jesus loved was symbolic of.
To be continued.
