Revelation 14:1-4

The Lamb on mount Zion Revelation 14:1-5: The Lamb is the Christ of God. It is through Him that salvation is possible. “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” (John 1:29) Our robes are made white in the blood of the Lamb. "These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb." (Revelation 7:14)

Mount Zion is symbolic for Jerusalem. "Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness. Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King." (Psalms 48:1-2) Later this same expression was used to picture the church. "But ye are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect." (Hebrews 12:22-23) God is still with His church in Zion; therefore the faithful have nothing to fear.

The 144,000 represent all the saved. (Revelation 7:1-8) These have left the earthly life and are with God in Heaven. Satan had put a mark on the forehead of those that belonged to him. The 144,000 have the "Father's name written in their foreheads." John hears a voice from heaven with the rhythm of many waters, the volume of great thunders and the melody of harpers harping with their harps. The redeemed also sung a new song. (Revelation 5:9-10)

These people are spiritually pure and faithful to God. (Revelation 14:4-5) They lovingly follow the Lamb in complete obedience. "These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb." The first fruits belong to God! The first fruits and the 144,000 are the same people. These are the ones separated to God for His service. All others will be separated for judgment and wrath. "In their mouth was found no guile." They are not guilty of teaching untruths.
