The Servant Of The Lord - Part 5

This series has established that Jehovah God called Israel and Jesus Christ to be a blessing and to bring salvation to the world. Certainly, Jesus through His death and resurrection fulfilled His calling from God. However, Israel has had difficulty completing their mission raising the question of will they ever complete it? The answer is a RESOUNDING YES!

Revelation 7:2-4 says, "Then I saw another angel coming up from the East, having the seal of the living God. He called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea: 'Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.' Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel."

These verses describe 144,000 Jewish men who are sealed by Jehovah God during the seven year Tribulation Period. What does it mean to be "Sealed By God?" The meaning is to have God's name written on their foreheads. {Revelation 14:1} This seal will serve as a shield of protection meaning Jehovah God will protect those whom He gives special assignments during the Tribulation Period.

What is the special assignment God gives to the 144,000 Jewish men? Notice Revelation 7:3 describes them as "Servants Of Our God." They will be His witnesses bringing God's blessings and the salvation message to people all over the world. Even during the darkest times of the Tribulation Period, a great Spiritual Awakening will occur. Is Anything Too Difficult For Our God? NO!

Revelation 11:3 says, "And I will give power to My two witnesses and they will prophesy for 1,260 days clothed in sackcloth." The Word Of God does not identify these two witnesses. However,  they will prophesy and perform miracles while being protected by God from numerous physical attacks. They will also shine the light and love of God during the Tribulation Period.

Yes, Israel fulfills their corporate Servant Of The Lord calling during the Tribulation Period! What does the future hold for Israel and the Jewish people? Will they ever recognize their Messiah? Stay Tuned!

May The Lord Bless You And Keep You This Day And Every Day,
