144 000

Psalm 56, 57, 58
Revelation 14:1-13
Luke 12:49-59

Revelation 14:1-13

Perhaps this appeals to me because I am a numbers person. The irony or Godinstance is that I was talking to another member of our Sunday School class yesterday and he mentioned this passage, the numbers in particular. Our conclusion was that we cannot get our brains around the number, how that many people will be chosen to live on earth, or a special place in heaven, or indeed comprehend what is going to happen to us on that day that Jesus returns to earth or we day- whichever comes first. Our conclusion was that all we can do is live our life guided by God, sharing his love to all whom we meet.
