The 144,000 of almost 2,000 years ago

The 144,000 of almost 2,000 years ago (Rev. 7:4; 14:1,3)

Four questions we might ask:
 Who are the “one hundred and forty-four thousand”?
 When did they live (I’ve given you a hint in the title for today’s lesson!)?
 Why are they mentioned?
 How are they relevant to us today?

Getting our bearings in the book of Revelation

Zechariah chapter 14 is NOT a second coming of Christ chapter

An exposition of Zechariah 14

  • Zechariah 14 is almost universally used as a “second coming of Christ chapter” but it is a “destruction of Jerusalem (AD 70) and the nations” chapter instead.
  • In other words, rather than a “second coming of Christ chapter”, Zechariah 14 is a “first coming of Christ chapter”.  The context is decisive in proving this.
