Ansonet,

In my Bible, which is the KJV, Revelation 14:1 reads this way:   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.  That sounds like one seal to me.  It does not say His name and His Father’s name.  I would really like to know what Bible you were getting the verse out of.  Sad to say, this is what happens when Bibles are translated, then translated, then translated again.  Words get left out, words get added, and that is certainly not a good thing.

 

On another note, a Dove wrote in the other day and I don’t think he/she was answered.  The question went something like this.  “If 144,000 makes up the Bride, what about all the babies?”  I haven’t done the math, but it would seem like there are way more than 144,000 out there.

 

 1Thessalonians 4:16-17.  For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.  Question for you:  “Babies that have died……are they in Christ?”  Babies that lived for a minute, an hour, a day, a week…..what happens to them?  If they are not in Christ when they are babies, what happens to their bodies?  Certainly they don’t end up like the “dead, not in Christ”.  I can’t even imagine that.  Let me know what you come up with.

 

Watching and Waiting,

Kelly
