STUDY SHEETS for FFC for Sunday – April 23, 2017

The Eternal Gospel Task Force of God Almighty!

  • 144,000 men who are sealed as servants of the living God.
  • They have the mark of God on their foreheads.
  • They sing of endurance and victory.
  • They have been purchased by the Lamb.
  • They maintain absolute loyalty to the Lamb.
  • They never lie.
  • They are unblameable.

The 144,000 “Unblameable” Witnesses of the Eternal Gospel!

  • The godly, faultless, irreproachable army of God who will spread his eternal gospel across the globe in the last days.
  • God’s “ground troops” in the battle against the darkness.
  • Then I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, with the seal of the living God, and he called with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm earth and sea, saying, “Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.” And I heard the number of the sealed, 144,000, sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel (Revelation 7:2–4 ESV).

  • The triumphant 144,000 will be completely loyal to the Lamb, no matter what the cost. In the words of John Phillips … They allow no rivals, no refusals, and no restraint to mar their dedication to Him. Does He need someone to stand upon the steps of the Vatican and cry out against the marriage of Christendom to the Beast? There are 144,000 ready to go! Does the Lord need someone to beard the Beast at some high function of state and roundly denounce him, his policy, his statecraft, his religion, his economic boycott, his mark, his ministers, his alliance with Satan? There are 144,000 eager to go! Does the Lamb need evangelists to proclaim to the untold millions the gospel of the coming kingdom of God? to climb the highest Himalayas, to cross the desert sands, to blaze evangelistic trails through steaming jungles, or to mush huskies across wide arctic wastes? There are 144,000 ready to go! And though the Beast’s Gestapo dog their footsteps and wreak upon their converts his direst vengeance, yet on they go undaunted and undeterred. That was the very spirit of their consecration as they followed the Lamb whithersoever He led them on earth, and their reward is in kind. [(Exploring Revelation, 180–81) MacArthur, J. F., Jr. (2000). Revelation 12–22 (p. 78). Chicago: Moody Press.]
