Question: WHO Are the 144,000 Mentioned in Revelation 7? Answer: This is one of our most commonly asked questions. Open your Bible to Revelation 7:2-7. Here you will find the answer. You have probably heard many interpretations, but they are usually in error. MEN are unable to interpret this prophecy. Only Jesus Christ is able to reveal the answer! The first point to notice is the TIME of the "sealing." Beginning with the seventh chapter of Revelation we find that the Day of the Lord - the time of the terrible plagues that God shall send - is to be held up temporarily, until a certain other event takes place. The apostle John saw, in vision, the plagues restrained until when? - "until we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads." - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
