THE TRUTH ABOUT THE 144,000. WHO ARE THEY? ——————————————————————–
DURING THE DAY OF PENTECOST (Acts Ch.2), There were devout Jewish believers, members of the Church gathered in one place in Jerusalem. In Acts 5:42 the Bible says the believers did not stop teaching and preaching the gospel "DAILY" in the temple and in every house. According to the Bible in Acts Chapter 8, there was a great persecution led by Saul (Apostle Paul) against the church. Saul made a great havoc of the Church. The believers were all SCATTERED throughout Judea and Samaria.(Acts 8:1).
WHO WERE THOSE THAT WERE SCATTERED?
There was no Gentile believers yet during that time because Apostle Paul was not yet called to preach the gospel. In Acts 26:13-18, Apostle Paul narrated how he was called by Jesus and sent to open the eyes of the Gentiles. Apostle is prophesied in Isaiah 42:6 and Isaiah 49:6 as a "LIGHT TO THE GENTILES". He confirmed in Acts 13:47 that he was set as a "LIGHT TO THE GENTILES". Apostle Paul is also the 1st Angel mentioned in Rev. 14:6-7, the proof is written in Acts 14:15.
THE VERSES BELOW SHOWS THOSE THAT WERE ALREADY SEALED AND SCATTERED IN THE FIRST CENTURY.
James 1:1, 18 1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. 18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
THE FIRSFRUITS OR FIRST CONVERTS TO THE CHURCH THE 144,000 (The women being mentioned in verse 4 is Babylon the apostate church and her daughters or all the false churches)
Revelation 14:1, 4 1And 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. 4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
Revelation 7:4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel
HOW IS THE SEALING DONE?
Ephesians 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, —————————— ——————–
CHRIST DID NOT COME TO DESTROY THE LAW BUT TO FULFILL AS WRITTEN IN MATT. 5:17, BUT WHICH LAW?… IT IS THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH.
WE CAN CLEARLY SEE THE ANSWER BY COMPARING SPIRITUAL THINGS WITH SPIRITUAL AS WRITTEN IN 1 COR. 2:13 (NOT BY PERSONAL OPINION).
(1Cor.2:13)Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual with spiritual.
******************************************
THE LAW OF GOD CONCERNING SINNERS: (Deut.24:16)-The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers; every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
ALL HAVE SINNED. (Rom.3:23)- For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH: (Rom. 6:23)-For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
THE FIRST DEATH IS THE PARTIAL PAYMENT FOR SIN: (Rom. 5:12)- “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.”
THE SECOND DEATH IS THE FULL PAYMENT FOR SIN: (Rev. 21:8)- But the fearful, the unbelieving, and the abominable, and the murderes, and the whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death,
MAN WAS SEPARATED FROM GOD BECAUSE OF SIN. GOD WILL NOT LISTEN TO THE PRAYERS OF SINNERS: (Isaiah 59:2)-But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.
CHRIST DID NOT COME TO DESTROY THE LAW OF GOD CONCERNING SINNERS: (Matt. 5:17)- Think not that I come to destroy the law, or the prophets; I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
CHRIST MADE ONE NEW MAN TO FULFILL THE LAW AND TO MAKE PEACE AND RECONCILIATION WITH GOD: (IN THE SIGHT OF GOD, CHRIST BEING THE HEAD AND THE CHURCH AS HIS BODY IS ONLY ONE MAN)
(Eph.. 1:15) Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace.
CHRIST MADE HIMSELF THE HEAD OF THE ONE NEW MAN AND THE CHURCH HIS BODY TO BE ABLE TO SAVE IT WITHOUT VIOLATING THE LAW OF GOD: (Eph. 5:23) For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
GOD MADE CHRIST A SIN FOR THE CHURCH SO THAT IT IS THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD FOR SALVATION: (2 Cor. 5:21)-For he hath made him to be a sin for us, who knew no sin, that we might be the righteousness of God through him,
ALL MEN WILL PAY AND DIE FOR THEIR OWN SIN IF THEY ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE ONE NEW MAN OR IN THE BODY OF CHRIST THE CHURCH. (John 8:24) I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
GOD WILL JUDGE THOSE OUTSIDE THE CHURCH: (1 Cor. 5) NIV 12 What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? 13 God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked person from among you.”[a]
THOSE WHO ARE IN CHRIST JESUS ARE FREE FROM THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH: (Romans 8:1-3) NIV 1Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you[a] free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh,[b] God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering.[c] And so he condemned sin in the flesh,
Hope Sabbath School is such a blessing and a joy. I have learnt so much and improved in my relationship with Christ. I have been interacting for more than 10 years. Originally from Jamaica, now living in Florida. Blessings to you all.
Amen. Praise the Lord for the beautiful lesson God’s character is revealed in His law, and when we keep and obey the law, we will live to be like Jesus.

I am from Karachi Pakistan and I watch hope Sabbath school and love the discussion on the lesson. You all are a blessing to many people in the world. Keep up the good work God bless you all.
The FIRST COVENANT is already OBSOLETE. We now have a new covenant in the Christian era, which is the law of Christ where Sabbath is not included.
Galatians 6:2 (NIV) Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
Hebrews 8: 10, 13 (NIV) 10 This is the covenant I will establish with the people of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. 13 By calling this covenant "new" he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear —————————————————-
Isaiah 66 23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the Lord.
ONE NEW MOON TO ANOTHER = 29.5 DAYS OR DAILY ONE SABBATH TO ANOTHER = 7 DAYS OR DAILY
THE EARLY CHRISTIANS GATHERED AND WORSHIPED DAILY Acts 5 42 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.
Hello hope channel, just to say thank you for delivering the Sabbath school lesson each week, I thoroughly love the way you all deliver the powerful message of God in the Scriptures. Wishing you all the very best to serve the Lord until Jesus comes again. AMEN. Just a small request, would be great, if the Scriptures reading is assigned evenly to the reader, instead of two or three people reading all the time, others need to be heard too. Jesus treat everyone the same, no matter what who we are? In Jesus Christ eyes we are all special, and this is good news for all of us, Amen. Have a blessed Sabbath Day Everyone take everyone! In The Heart of Jesus There Is Love For You. Amen
ABOUT SABBATH OBSERVANCE. The covenant was not made with the fathers or patriarchs (verse 3) but only with those who were taken out of Egypt who were alive those days. They were commanded to observe sabbath to remember that they were taken out of bondage from the land of Egypt by the mighty hand of God. The Law and the Prophets were until John (Luke 16:16). Jesus broke the Sabbath because it does not apply to the Christians anymore (John 5:18). Apostle Paul in his letter to the Colossians said that no man can judge anyone with respect to meat, drink, holidays, new moon or SABBATH (Colossians 2:16). ———————————
Deuteronomy 5: 2 The Lord our God made a covenant with us in Horeb. 3 The Lord made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day. 6 I am the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. 15 And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the Lord thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.

15 And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the Lord thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.
