MOUNT ZION – WITH HIM 144,000 / REVELATION 14:1

(KJV) Revelation 14:1

And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads.

Throughout the Bible, Zion is typically another way of describing Jerusalem by the name of an ancient Jebusite mountain fortress, part of King David’s original conquest of the city (2 Samuel 5:6-7). “Zion” then became applied to the section of the city where the fortress stood. This is likely where the ark of the covenant (representing God’s presence among the people) was housed for a time in a special tent-shrine. After Solomon’s Temple was built, Zion came to refer to the temple grounds. Throughout Israel’s history, “Zion” became a general reference to God’s “dwelling place,” or central place of worship on earth (Psalms 9:1; Psalms 74:2; Joel 3:21). But here in Revelation, Zion refers to the renewed and restored Jerusalem in which Christ will reign on earth at the end of history (Psalms 2:6; Isaiah 52:8; 62:1-12). Some also see this as descriptive of the heavenly Jerusalem – God’s eternal heavenly city (Hebrews 12:22-24) – which will come down to the new earth at the end of time and be the eternal dwelling place of God and His people (Revelation 21:2-3).

Revelation 14 and Revelation 15 introduce the judgments of Revelation 16-18, showing the reward awaiting those who remain faithful to Jesus Christ (Revelation 14:12; Revelation 15:2-4) Revelation 14 begins by describing the scene of 144,000 intensely devoted disciples of Christ who “follow the Lamb wherever He goes” (Revelation 14:4). This is not the same 144,000 of the tribes of Israel from Revelation 7. Rather, this is a number of fullness, symbolically representing the most devoted and faithful of God’s people of all times and places, who enjoy a special position and favor in heaven (Revelation 14:4). In this sense, the number 144,000 does not mean they are limited to that number. Any follower of Christ may be among this group by demonstrating passionate devotion to Him in faith, love and service.
