Day 362: Heaven's Math

Today's Reading: Revelation 6-11

144,000
The number in heaven saved
12 x 12
10 x 10 x 10

2(12) x 3(10)

2 = faithful witnesses
12 = the people of God
3 = the trinity
10 = the perfect law

144,000
Those people of God
who heard and became
faithful witnesses
to the perfect law
of our God.

  1. 1000 means and can be translated in Hebrew Families - so the 144,000 is actually:

    12x12 - ie jews and Gentiles multiplied - all together - unlimited x by 1000 - all families of the earth

    The Hope is open to all that all, who choose to follow my be included - it is not a literal number cp Rev 7:5-8 - the tribes of israel - However 2 tribes are missing, Dan = Judgement - the judgement is passed at this point, and Ephraim = a double portion, as this has already been rewarded by including both Jews and gentiles
