Apocalypse Explained#428
428. Verse 4. And I heard the number of them that were sealed; a hundred and forty and four thousand, sealed out of every tribe [of the sons] of Israel. "And I heard the number of them that were sealed," signifies the quality of those who are in good separated from the evil; "a hundred and forty and four thousand, sealed out of every tribe [of the sons] of Israel," signifies all who are in truths from good, and therefore in the church of the Lord.
Revelation第20章:4
4
I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and such as didn't worship the beast nor his image, and didn't receive the mark on their forehead and on their hand. They lived, and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
