  7. Revelation 7 “Who shall be able to stand?” • Sealed Servants (protected)7:1-8 • 144,000 from 12 Tribes • Saved Servants (martyred)7:9-17 • From out of the Tribulation • Survivors during Great Tribulation • Not mentioned in this chapterMatthew 25:31-40

  8. Revelation 7:1,2 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. 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,

  9. Revelation 7:3,4 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. Ezekiel 9:5-6 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: 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.

  12. Master Imitator • Satan will imitate this marking in the forehead with his servants (Rev 13:16) who are thereafter unredeemable (Rev 14:9-10) • This gives us three categories of people in the Great Tribulation: • Those who are sealed and protected (7:4-8; 14:1) • Those who accept mark of the beast (13:16-18) and are doomed (14:9-10) • Those who refuse mark of the beast, many of whom are martyred (20:4)

  13. Revelation 7:3,4 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. 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.

  14. Revelation 7:5-8 Of the tribe of Judah were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasseh were sealed twelve thousand. 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. 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.

  15. Nineteen Different Ways…

  16. Esau Jacob The 12 Tribes The Twelve Tribes Abraham (Hagar) (Sarah) Ishmael Isaac (Rebecca) (Zilpah) (Leah) (Rachel) (Bilhah) Gad Asher Reuben Simeon Levi Judah Joseph Dan Naphtali Manasseh Ephraim Benjamin Issachar Zebulun

  17. The Myth of “Ten Lost Tribes” • No real Biblical basis • Epistles of James, 1 Peter: “to 12 tribes” • Prophecies of 12Tribes: • Jacob: Gen 49 • Moses: Deut 33 • The myth is based on a misconception derived from the misreading of passages as 2 Kgs 17:7-23, 2 Chr 6:6-11

  18. Dan Golan Bezer Hebron Ramoth Gilead Kedesh Shechem Asher Naphtali Division of the Land Zebulon Manasseh Issachar The Tribes were allocated their portions by casting lots Manasseh Gad Ephraim Unable to subdue the Philistines,Dan takes over Laish in the north Dan Benjamin Reuben Judah Levites were assigned to 48 cities; Six of which were designated “Cities of Refuge” Dead Sea Simeon

  19. The Kingdom Divided • 930 BC: Jeroboam ruled the Northern Kingdom from his capital in Samaria 1 Kgs 11:43-12:33 • When Jeroboam turned the Northern Kingdom to idolatry, the Levites (and others who desired to remain faithful) migrated south to Rehoboam 2 Chr 11:14-17

  20. The Kingdom Divided • Even before the Assyrian captivity, substantial numbers from the northern tribes had identified themselves with the house of David 1 Kgs 12:16-20; 2 Chr 11:16-17 • Many to repudiated the Northern Kingdom and united with the southern kingdom in a common alliance to the house of David and to worship the Lord 2 Chr 19:4; 30:1,10,11,25,26; 34:5-7,22; 35:17,18

  21. The Kingdom Divided • Horrified that Jeroboam set up a rival religion with golden calf worship at Bethel and Dan, many Northerners moved south, knowing that the only place acceptable to God was the Temple on Mt. Moriah Deut 12:5-7; 16:2-6; Isa 18:7 • Those who favored idolatry migrated north to Jeroboam

  22. The Kingdom Divided • Later, when Asa reigned as king in the south, another great company came from the north 2 Chr 15:9 • Years after the deportation by Assyria, King Hezekiah of Judah issued a call to all Israel to come and worship in Jerusalem and celebrate Passover 2 Chr 30:5-21 • 80 years later, King Josiah of Judah also issued a call, and an offering for the temple was received from “Manasseh and Ephraim and all the remnant of Israel...” 2 Chr 34:9

  23. The Kingdom Divided • Eventually, all 12 tribes were represented in the south: • God addresses the 12 tribes in the south: “Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin...” 2 Chr 11:3 • The “Tribe of Judah” is sometimes used idiomatically for the Southern Kingdom 2 Kgs 17:18, et al.Cf. 1 Kgs 11:13,32, etc. • When encountering tribal designations, it is important to distinguish between • the territoriesallocated to the tribes and • the peoplethemselves

  24. For Next Session • Read Revelation 8 • Read Joshua 5:13 – 6:27

  25. Joshua vs. Revelation • (Yehoshua is a variant of Yeshua) • A military commander dispossessing the usurpers • 7 year campaign • Against 7 (of an original 10) nations • Torah ignored at Jericho: (Sabbath ignored; Levites involved) • First sent in “Two Witnesses” • Seven Trumpet Events • (preceded by “Silence in heaven for ½ hour”) • Enemies confederated under a leader in Jerusalem • Adoni-Zedek, “Lord of Righteousness” • Ultimately defeated with • Hailstones and fire from heaven • Signs in the Sun, Moon, etc. • Kings hide in caves; (“Rocks fall on us…”)
