GOD’S PUREST PEOPLE WILL LIVE THROUGH EARTH’S DARKEST HOUR - BIBLE PROPHECY DESCRIBES THEM AS THE 144,000.

The redeemed who are taken with Christ at His Second Coming are a company which no man can number. But among that multitude is one separate company who are numbered and are designated by their number - the 144,000.

This company has special qualities. Like those who are resurrected at His coming, they are faultless before God, and in their mouths is no guile. Revelation 14:1-5 gives us some additional qualities of these living saints. They stand upon Mount Zion with Christ, and “follow the Lamb whithersoever He goeth.” They have the exalted privilege of serving Christ in the heavenly temple, and are redeemed from the Earth - from among men. In other words, they are the ones alive upon the Earth when the Saviour returns. They will be translated (taken to heaven without seeing death) and, together with the innumerable host who will come from their dusty beds, clad in glorious immortality when Christ comes in the clouds of heaven (See 1 Thessalonians 4:16,17).

The 144,000 are distinguished from all others alive on the Earth before the Second Coming of Christ by the seal of the living God in their foreheads. This distinguishing mark is called the “Father’s name.” (See Revelation 14:1) Ezekiel was evidently shown the same seal and speaks of it as a “mark” upon the forehead. (See Ezekiel 9:4)

THE SEAL OF GOD
A seal contains the name of the person issuing the document, his office or authority and the extent of his jurisdiction. Seals are attached to laws and legal documents; therefore, we should look for God’s seal to be attached to His law. The prophet Isaiah, looking down through the ages, saw a people who were expecting Christ to come from heavenly sanctuary to the Earth, and the message of God to them was, “Seal the law among My disciples.”

144,000 RECEIVE A SYMBOLIC SEAL FROM GOD BECAUSE THEY HONOR HIS LAW.
The law of God - the Ten Commandments - was proclaimed by God Himself on Mount Sinai to the vast multitude of Israel - over a million people. (See Deuteronomy 4:10, 13, 32, 33). Then, lest there might be some mistake in writing out the law, God called Moses up into the mountain and gave him two tables of stone, upon which He had engraved with His own finger the same Ten Commandments that He had spoken in the hearing of the multitude. (See Deuteronomy 10:1-5). This law will be the standard by which every son and daughter of Adam will be judged. (See James 2: 10-12).

Has God attached His seal to this law, whereby all may know its binding claims? Remember, a seal must contain the name, the office or authority invested in the law giver and the territory over which he rules. Let us look for this seal in the law of God.

The fourth commandment contains, first, the name “the Lord thy God;” second, His authority - the Creator of all things - and therefore the power to issue this law - third, His territory; which consists of “heaven and Earth,” which He created.

The fourth commandment requires all who dwell in the territory of the Lord God, the Creator, to keep the seventh day of the week holy as a memorial of His creative work. (See Genesis 2:2, 3). The Sabbath commandment, then, contains the seal of the law.

The word sign is sometimes used as a synonym for “seal.” Of the Sabbath God says, “It is a sign between Me and the children of Israel forever.” (See Exodus 31: 13, 16, 17). “Moreover also I gave them my Sabbath, to be a sign between Me and Them, that they might know that I am the Lord that sanctify them.” (See Ezekiel 20:12).

God blessed and sanctified the Sabbath; and to the one who will keep it holy, it is a sign, or seal, of God’s power to sanctify him. (See Isaiah 58:13, 4). There is an important acknowledgment of God’s authority in our lives in the proper observance of the Sabbath. “Hallow My Sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between Me and you, that ye may know that I am the Lord your God.” Ezekiel 20:20.

WRITTEN IN OUR HEARTS & MINDS
Why is the seal of God described as being put in the foreheads of His people? The forehead is the seat of the intellect; and when the honest in heart see and acknowledge the binding claims of God’s law, they will keep the seventh day holy. The seal placed in the forehead by the angel cannot be read by man, for God alone can read the heart. Simple resting upon the seventh day from all physical work will not place the seal upon the forehead of any one. The resting is necessary, but with the rest must be also the holy and sanctified life that is in harmony with the holy and sanctified day.

The Sabbath reform, the sealing work of Revelation 7:1-4, takes place like the sunrise. Slowly, as individuals here and there, in all parts of the world, found that the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation teaches that the seventh day is the Sabbath, and that Christ and the apostles kept it, they accepted it (See Romans 3:19). Today, in every division of the world there are those who honor God as the Creator, by keeping holy the day which He sanctified and blessed as a memorial of His creative work.

On Earth the distinguishing mark of the 144,000 is the seal of God in their foreheads - Sabbath-keeping. In heaven it will be the wonderful song which they will sing: “They sung as it were a new song before the throne… and no man could learn that song but the one hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the Earth.” Revelation 14:3.

“They sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb.” Revelation 15:3. It is a song of experience - wonderful melody! Not even the angel choir can join in those marvellous strains as they echo through the arches of heaven.

The twelve tribes, after crossing the Red Sea, all united in the song of triumph; so the spiritual representatives of the twelve tribes of Israel stand as a mighty phalanx before God’s throne on the sea of glass to sing the song of Moses and the Lamb.

CAN WE TRUST BIBLE PROPHECY?

SO FAR, BIBLE PROPHECY HAS ACCURATELY PREDICTED WORLD HISTORY - WHAT DOES IT SAY ABOUT THE FUTURE?
Can we trust Bible prophecy? The Bible itself requires that if a prophet claims divine inspiration, all his or her predictions must come true in every detail, unless they are conditional prophecies like Jonah's. If an unconditional prophecies fails, the prophet is discredited.

Jesus reinforced this principle when He told His disciples, "Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he" (John 13:19). Throughout history, Bible prophets have passed this test.

The Apostle Peter assures us that through prophecy we may have a stronger foundation for our faith than even the disciples own experience with Jesus. Through the "more sure word of prophecy" (2 Peter 1:16-21), prophets speak as moved by God through the Holy Spirit and are in harmony with all other aspects of His Word, including His law. (See Isaiah 8:20.)

Not all Bible prophecies, however, have yet been fulfilled. As we study the end-time prophecies of Daniel and John, we must honestly ask, Have their previous prophecies come true in every detail? If so, we would be wise to seriously study their future prophecies.

Let us begin our study of prophecy with the book of Daniel. We will confine our study to two chapters: Nebuchadnezzar's dream of Daniel 2 and the enlargement of that dream given to Daniel in chapter 7. These chapters give a brief overview of world history from the past reign of Babylon to the future everlasting reign of Christ's kingdom.

NEBUCHADNEZZAR'S DREAM
First, God gave Nebuchadnezzar a dream of a great image with a head of gold, a chest and arms of silver, a belly and thighs of brass, and legs of iron with feet partly of iron and partly of clay. Then a stone cut out without human hands came down from heaven and destroyed the whole image. (See Daniel 2:31-35.)

Next, God removed the dream from Nebuchadnezzar so that his wise men could not give it a false interpretation. Then God gave the same dream along with its interpretation to Daniel, a Hebrew captive who, while serving the king as a wise man, honored Jehovah. The dream was an outline of world empires from Babylon to Christ's second coming.

Babylon: The head of gold represented the king or kingdom of Babylon. (See Daniel 2:36-38.)

MEDO-PERSIA: The Babylonians were defeated in 539 B.C. by Cyrus, the Medo-Persian general. Daniel 5:22-31 tells the story of Babylon's capture. The Medo-Persians were symbolized by the silver breast and arms.

Greece: Twice in the book of Daniel we are told that the Medes and Perians would be defeated by the Greeks. (See Daniel 8:4-7, 20-21; 11:1-3.) The Greeks defeated the Medes and Persians in 331 B.C., and are represented by the belly and thighs of brass.

ROME: The iron legs represent the fourth world empire. (See Daniel 2:40.) History records that the Greeks were defeated in 168 B.C. by the Romans. Rome is well described here as an empire that crushes like iron.

No new earthly superpower emerged to defeat and conquer Rome. Instead, around A.D. 476, Rome was overrun by ten barbaric tribes which eventually became the nations of Western Europe. These ten tribes are aptly depicted by toes of iron and clay. (See Daniel 2:41-43.) There have been many attempts to bring these tribes into a singular empire, but the prophecy was, "they shall not cleave one to another" (Daniel 2:43). Napolean, Hi**er, and others sought to unite Europe through force. Others have tried through political alliances and royal intermarriage - the mingling of the "seed of men." Unity of sorts may have existed for a few brief years, yet no lasting unity has ever been achieved.

CHRIST'S KINGDOM: In the end, the stone cut without hands, representing Christ's kingdoms. (See Daniel 2:34-35, 44-45.) Daniel chapter 2 teaches us that man will never build an everlasting empire. Only God's kingdom will reign forever and ever.

DANIEL'S SECOND DREAM
Many years later, Daniel was given additional information about these four kingdoms, especially details leading to Earth's closing events. Daniel sees "four great beast" or "kings" with kingdoms come "up from the sea, diverse one from another" (Daniel 7:3, 17).

BABYLON: The first beast resembled a lion with the wings of an eagle. (See Daniel 7:4). The lion with eagle's wings was a common symbol used by ancient Babylon. The Bible elsewhere describes Babylon as a lion. (See Jeremiah 50:17.)

MEDO-PERSIA: The second beast resembled a bear raised up on one side with three ribs between his teeth. (See Daniel 7:5.) The Medes and the Persians defeated the Babylonians in 539 B.C. The bear was raised on one side because the Persians were dominant. Between the years of 547 - 545 B.C., Egypt, Lydia, and Babylon were conquered, symbolized by the three ribs betwee the bear's teeth.

GREECE: The third beast resembled a leopard with four wings and four heads. In 331 B.C. the 31-year-old Alexander the Great conquered the world with amazing speed. When he died suddenly, the empire was divided among his four generals: Egypt to Ptolemy; Syria to Seleucus; Asia Minor to Cassander; and Macedonia to Lysimachus.

ROME: The ferocious beast with ten horns represents the fourth kingdoms to rule the world. (see Daniel 7:23-25.) Rome defeated the Greeks in 168 B.C., becoming the fourth world empire. Ten kingdoms or tribes overran the Western Roman Empire contributing to its collapse in A.D. 476: Anglo-Saxons (English), Alemanni (German), Franks (French), Burgundians (Swiss), Suevi (Portuguese), Visigoths (Spanish), Vandals (North Africans), Lombardi, Ostrogoths, and the Heruli (each from a different part of Italy).

THE LITTLE HORN POWER: Another king emerges from among the first ten kings. (See Daniel 7:8, 20-26.) In its rise it plucks up - or destroys - three of the first ten kingdoms. (See Daniel 7:8, 23.) Who is this king with a "look more stout than his fellows?"

THE LITTLE HORN POWER
The following ten identifying marks of the little horn power accurately describe it as the next extension of the Roman Empire - Papal Rome:
1. It was a kingdom as the other horns are kingdoms. "And another [horn] shall arise..." (Daniel 7:24). The Papacy was both a religious and political power.
"Lomg ages ago, when Rome through the neglect of the Western emperors was left to the mercy of the barbarous hordes, the Romans turned to one figure for aid and protection, and asked him to rule them; and thus,...command the temporal sovereignty of the popes. And meekly stepping to the throne of caesar, the vicar of Christ took up the scepter to which the emperors and kings of Europe were to bow in reverence through so many ages." (Catholic Quarterly Review, April 1911.)

2. It would emerge from the Roman Empire with the other ten kingdoms: "there came up among them another little horn" (Daniel 7:8). "Out of the ruins of political Rome, arose the great moral empire in the 'giant form' of the Roman Church." (The Rise of the Medieval Church, 1909, p. 150.)

3. It would arise after the ten kings had risen to power. "And another shall rise after them" (Dainel 7:24). The ten divisions of Rome were completed in A.D. 476. Yet the papacy did not emerge with power in the Western Roman Empire until Emperor Justinian, isolated in the East in Constantinople, needed the pope's influence and support in the West. The year was 538 and the pope was Vigilius. "From this time on the popes, more and more involved in worldly affairs, no longer belong solely to the Church; They are men of the state, and then rulers of the state." (Medieval Europe from 395 to 1270, pp. 120-121.)

4. It uprooted three of the ten tribes in its pursuit of power. (See Daniel 7:8, 24.) "I might cite three [tribes] that were eradicated from before the pope out of the list first given, viz., the Heruli under Odoacer, the Vandals, and the Ostrogoths". (Apocalyptica, Volumes III, 139)

5. It was a radically different kingdom from the first ten kingdoms. (See Daniel 7:8.) The Papacy was an ecclesiastical and political kingdom, while the first ten were merely political or civil kingdoms.

6. It would have a singular male leader at its head, for it has the eyes and mouth of a man. (See Daniel 7:8.)
"The pope is the absolute monarch of this whole structure. Elected for life by a committee of princes, the cardinals, he has exclusive power to appoint new princes as vancancies occur, and the princes have no power to discipline him or to remove him after they have once elected him." (Communism, Democracy, and Catholic Power, p. 51)

7. It would speak great words or blasphemy against God. (See Daniel 7:25.) Jesus was falsely accused of blasphemy because He claimed divinity and the ability to forgive sins. (See John 10:33; Luke 5:20-21.) But when a mere mortal claims divinity or the ability to forgive sins, he is blaspheming. (see Daniel 7:21, 25.)

The Papacy has made such blasphemous claims - By dismissing the idea that one can obtain forgiveness directly from God, and exhorted Catholics to confess more often to their priests. The popes claims to be God on earth. Pope Leo XIII said, "We hold upon the earth the place of God Almighty." (Pope Leo XIII, Encyclical Letter of June 20, 1894.

8. It would change "times and laws." (See Daniel 7:25.) The following is from a Catholic cathechism:
"Question: Have you any other way of proving that the Church has power to institute festivals of precept? "Answer: Had she not such power,...she could not have substituted the observance of Sunday the first day of the week, for the observance of Saturday the seventh day -a change for which there is not Scriptural authority." (A Doctrinal Catechism 3rd Edition p. 174.)

The Vatican admits that changing the Sabbath from the seventh to the first day of the week is not biblical. In fact, she recognizes her Sunday Sabbath as the mark of her authrority over Scripture! "Sunday is our mark of authority... The church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is proof of that fact." (The Catholic Record, London, Ontario September 1, 1923)

9. It would persecute God's faithful people. Did the Papacy "wear out the saints of God"? (See Daniel 7:25) and Revelation 12.) "That the Church of Rome has shed more innocent blood than any other institution that has ever existed among mankind, will be questioned by no Protestant who has a complete knowledge of history." (History of the Rise and influence of the Spirit of Rationalism in Europe, Volume II, p. 32)

There are many wonderful Christians in the Catholic communion. They cannot be held accountable for the political intrigues and unchristlike practices for which the Papacy, down through the ages, is responsible.

10. It would have supremacy over the nations" ... until a time and times and the dividing of time" (Daniel 7:25). How long is a "time, times, and the dividing of time"? We find the answer in Scripture.

According to Revelation 12:6, 14, "a time, and times, and half a time" equals "a thousand two hundred and threescore days." In other words, "a time" equals one year, "times" equals two years, and "half a time" equals 6 months. Three years and six months is the same as 42 months or 1260 days. A biblical calender year is 360 days. Therefore, 360 360 360 180 = 1260 days
But wait! How could any entity accomplish all these in only 1260 literal days? In Bible prophecy, a "day" represents a "year." (See Numbers 14:33-34; Ezekiel 4:5-6.)

Did the Papacy rule for exactly 1,260 years? If the Papacy began its temporal rule in A.D. 538 under Emperor Justinian, 1260 years would bring it exactly to the year 1798.
Napoleon's general Berthier entered Rome on the tenth of February, 1798, captured and exiled the pope and proclaimed Rome to be a republic. (The Modern Papacy, p.1)

THE REST OF THE STORY
Did the power of the Papacy end here? No! Prophecies predict the reemergence of the Papacy as a political and religious superpower in the end-times. The Bible reveals that the Papacy will regain her lost power, will once again persecute dissenters, and will become the head of a global political order.

But if prophecy is all doom and gloom, it fails in its purpose to :shine as a light in a dark place" (2 Peter 1:19). Nebuchadnezzar's dream ended with the coming of Christ and the destruction of all earthly oppressors and despots. Daniel's vision ended with the judgment, when evil and its perpetrators are destroyed and God's people are given possession of the earth (Daniel 7:26, 27). These "saints of the most high" include those from every nation, kindred, tongue and people who love God and others more than themselves. (See Revelation 7:9; Matthew 25:31-36.)

Daniel chapters two and seven give us confidence that good will triumph over evil. Because every other detail of the prophecy has been fulfilled, we may trust that Christ's coming kingdom is just as sure.

THE WORLD'S FIRST BILLIONAIRE

John D. Rockfeller (July 8, 1839–May 23, 1937), the founder of Standard Oil, was once the richest man in the world. He was the world’s first billionaire.

"He amassed a net worth of at least $1 billion in 1916. When Rockefeller died in 1937, his net worth was estimated to be approximately $340 billion in today's dollars."

By the age of 25, he had one of the largest oil refineries in the United States. He was 31 when he became the world's largest oil refiner. At 38, he controlled 90% of the oil refined in the United States. At fifty, John was America's richest man. As a young man, every action, attitude, and connection was crafted to establish his wealth.

But at the age of 53, he fell unwell. His entire body became wracked with pain, and he lost all his hair. In total anguish, the world's lone millionaire could buy anything he wanted but could only eat soup and crackers.

According to an associate, "He couldn't sleep, wouldn't smile, and nothing in life meant anything to him". His personal, highly trained physicians indicated that he would die within the year. That year passed painfully slowly. As he approached death, he awoke one morning with the faint understanding that he would not be able to bring any of his fortune with him to the next world.

The man who could dominate the commercial world suddenly realised he had no control over his personal life. He informed his solicitors, accountants, and management that he intended to devote his assets to hospitals, research, and charity work. John D. Rockefeller started his foundation.

The Rockefeller Foundation financed Howard Florey and his colleague Norman Heatley's penicillin research in 1941. But arguably the most astounding aspect of Rockefeller's narrative is that when he began to give back a fraction of all he had gained, his body's chemistry changed dramatically, and he recovered.

He was expected to die at the age of 53, but he survived to reach 98 years old. Rockefeller learnt gratitude and returned the great bulk of his money. This made him whole. It's one thing to be healed. It is another to become fit. He was a devout Baptist who attended the Euclid Avenue Baptist Church in Cleveland, Ohio.

Before he died, he wrote in his diary: "God taught me that everything belongs to Him, and I am merely a conduit to carry out His will. My life has been one long, happy holiday since then; full of work and play, I let go of my worries along the road, and God was wonderful to me every day.

Appreciate the post written by Alinur Mohamed.

I understand alot of us don't like to talk about death.

However, we will all die one day. And everyday brings us closer to our respective coffins.

Today we are here. Tomorrow we are gone.

Live your life to the fullest. Enjoy every moment of your life. Never let anyone steal your happines away from you.

Sometimes, we spend too much time worrying about things we cannot change. Be grateful you are here. You are alive. And you are blessed by the Almighty with another day to live.

And yes, reading the post by Alinur, make me realize that this is life.

1. Don't buy an expensive phone. A new version will come out even before you've finished paying for it.

2. Don't buy an expensive bag. Replicas are scattered everywhere. Only a trained eye will see that it's genuine.

3. Don't buy expensive shoes. You can't walk like a duck trying to keep it from deforming with every use.

4. Don't buy expensive clothing. You can't walk around showing the small tag behind your nape.

5. Don't buy an expensive watch. A 100-peso vintage watch online looks good too, and all kinds will tell the same time.

6. Don't buy expensive undergarments. It's not allowed to walk in public wearing only a Victoria's Secret bra and panties.

7. Don't buy expensive cars. It depreciates with every kilometer it runs. Your 1.2 Million-Peso SUV will sell for only 500K.

8. Don't buy a huge house. Too much space creates distance between family members. They'll grow old and leave anyway.

9. Always settle for the justified price. You can do more with two for the price of one.

10. Remember that it's not the brand that carries you. It's how you carry the brand.

Grow old wise. Grow old happy.

Stay blessed 💕

WISDOM FROM RICH DAD.

From the book Rich DAD Poor DAD,
by Robert Kiyosaki

1. Don’t work for money:

Rich don’t work for money. If you work for money, your mind will start thinking like an employee. If you start thinking differently like a rich man, you will see things differently. Rich works on their asset column, every dollar in their asset column is their hard-working employee.

2. Don’t be controlled by emotions:

Some people’s lives are always controlled by the two emotions of fear and greed. Fear keeps people in this trap of working hard, earning money, working hard, earning money, and hoping that it will reduce their fear. Secondly, most of us have the greed to get rich quickly. Yes, many people become rich overnight, but they have no financial education. So educate yourself and don’t be greedy or fearful.

3. Acquire assets:

Don’t buy liabilities on your way to financial freedom. People buy liabilities and think these are assets, but they are not. Many people buy luxuries first, like big cars, heavy bikes, or big houses to live in. But the rich buy assets and their assets buy luxuries. The rich buy houses and rent them, and they pay them for their Lamborghinis. The poor or middle class buy luxuries first, and the rich buy luxuries last.

4. Remember the KISS principle:

KISS stands for keeping it simple, and stupid. Don’t be too overloaded your mind when you are going to start your way to financial freedom. Things are simple and keep them simple. The simple thing to remember is assets put money in pocket and liabilities take money out of pocket. Always buy assets so they put money into your pocket.

5. Know the difference between assets and liabilities:

Assets are anything that puts money in your pocket, like stocks, bonds, real estate, mutual funds, rental properties, etc. Liabilities are anything that pulls money out of your pocket, like your house, your car, debt, etc. People think their home is their biggest asset, but it is not. A house is an asset when it generates money like when you rent a house, it generates money, and when your life in that house becomes a liability.

6. Don’t be a financial illiterate:

A person can be highly educated and become successful in their profession, but financially illiterate. Financial education is very important for any individual. Our schools and colleges did not teach us financial education. Many financial problems arise as a result of a lack of financial education. Start learning financial education and I suggest you read the book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad".

7. Increase your Wealth:

Wealth is defined as a person's ability to survive for a certain number of days in the future, or how long they could survive if they stopped working today. Consider your wealth and whether you would survive if you stopped working today for a year.

8. Mind your own business:

If you have a job, keep your job and start a part-time business and work it. Use the time that you spend on your iPhone, parties, or any other activity, to build your business. Never leave your job until you build your own business. Don’t struggle all of your life for someone else. Start your own business and grow your business.

9. Train your mind:

Your biggest asset is your mind. Many individuals watch opportunities with their eyes, but if you train your mind, you can see opportunities with your mind. If you train your mind well, it can create enormous wealth.

10. Learn technical skills:

Your financial IQ will be raised by learning these four technical skills:

Accounting is defined as the ability to read numbers. If you want to build an empire, then this is an essential skill. By learning this skill, you will be able to understand the strength and weaknesses of a business.

Investing: It is the science of making money.
Understanding markets: It is the science of supply and demand.

The Law: A person who has knowledge of the law of tax advantages and corporations can get rich faster than others.

11. Find opportunities that everyone else missed:

"Great opportunities are not seen with your eyes. They are seen with your mind. "

You can see many more opportunities with your mind than many people miss with their eyes. It is not rocket science, you just need to train your mind.

12. Learn to manage risk:

Investment is not risky, not knowing the investment is risky. If you want to reduce the risk, then increase your knowledge. This knowledge will not come by going to college, it will come by reading books or sitting with people who know the investment.

13. Learn management:

The main management skills are:

Management of cash flow
Management of system
Management of people
Sales and marketing are the most essential skills. The ability to sell and the ability to communicate with another human being, be it a customer, employee, fiancé, friend, or child, is a basic skill of personal success.
