The Numberless Multitude Revelation 7: 9-17

To see Revelation 7:9-17 without my comments click HERE.

The next event that John witnessed was a numberless multitude standing before the throne of God. John does not say exactly who these multitudes were, but we are given a hint. The two most common theories is that they are either the 144,000 of the tribes of Israel described in Revelation 7:4-8, and the other school of thought is that it represents the multitudes of people that will live on earth in Yahweh's Kingdom.


The meaning of the word “Israel” roughly translates to: “to rule under God's law.” If Israel is to rule, then who are they to rule over, just themselves? I don't think so. The Bible does not mention any other races of people other than Israel except for when the other races and peoples come into direct contact with Israel, it's then and only then when they are mentioned. It's my belief which is based upon speculation and conjecture that the multitude of verse 9 will be the peoples of the earth that are non-Israelties that Father Yahweh knows are suitable to live in his kingdom. If I am correct with who these people are then one clue of the distinguishing factors of who is worthy to be in his kingdom may be found in Genesis 12:3 when Yahweh states: “... I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.”
Anyone that is new to this blog should know that I believe that the majority of the actual Israelites of the Bible migrated to and through the Northern shores of the Mediterranean into Europe. In other words if you have ancestors from Europe then there is a good chance you are an Israelite!
If you really think about it, the blessings of non-Israelites, which are described by the Bible as having fair skin, begin in this world right here right now. Any people that have worked with organizations that contain large numbers of Israelites know that Israelites actually care about the other people of the world and will make personal sacrifices to bring them civilization and other blessings based upon the Ten Commandments. It really matters not if Israel actually know they are the Israelites of the Bible or not, they still care and blessings will come forth regardless. In other words, if other lands will bring Israelites into their land and bless them by treating them well, then they will receive blessings of civilization. Examples of the blessings of which I am talking could include learning how to dig wells, plant crops, and maintain their own lands. Israel is the only people that know how to feed both themselves and the rest of the planet at the same time; Genesis 3:23 There are people from other races in the world now that do know how to farm, but, history dictates that they did not learn this skill  and receive this blessing until they came in direct contact with Israel.


On the other hand, one way that non-Israelites could curse Israel, and at the same time curse themselves, is by doing stupid stuff like playing the knock out game.This will drive Israelites away from both them and others of their own race. The long term effect of cursing Israel is to drive any resemblance of civilization and civil order based upon Father Yahweh's law away from their families, communities, and lands.

Being one of the 144,000...
Everyone seems to want to be one of the 144,000, especially the Jehovah Witnesses. The question I have is what's wrong with being one of the 24 elders, or even being one of the numberless multitude? My own candid thought for myself is that if Yahweh wants me to be in the lowest position on the face of the planet when he restores his Kingdom, then let it be. I pray daily that his kingdom will come to earth, and I do believe in the events of Revelation 7:17 when we are told: “For the lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.”

One last detail I forgot to mention is that the numberless multitude are described as having white robes meaning they were purified by the blood of Yashua Messiah. Yashua of course means “Yah who saves.” The Bible mentions that these multitudes were on earth during the Great Tribulation. This in itself should be enough evidence to make a normal thinking person think that the "Rapture Theory doctrine", that was found by John Darby in 1830 is a false teaching.

All of Israelite should prepare to go through the Great Tribulation. If I am wrong, then you haven't lost anything. If I am right then you can thank me later in person after the Messiah restores his Kingdom!

Praise Yahweh!
