The Sealing of the 144,000
New Discovery Series by Elder John VanDenburgh
Welcome to another Bible Explorations, tape number
six, The Sealing of the 144,000. This is the one Ive
been so excited to get to — laying groundwork,
groundwork, groundwork and now here we are at
last. Of course it may be a little bit sharp for those
who havent seen the previous DVDs but for those of
you who have been studying, you are ready for this.
Were going to begin with one of heavens statutes
believe it or not, and why not? Were going to go
way back to Leviticus 23:21 and read a little bit
about Pentecost. I think youll find it fits right into
our lecture as we go.
The text reads:
And ye shall proclaim on the self-same day, that it may be an holy convocation
unto you...
Now, we all know what a holy convocation is now.
Ye shall do no servile work therein...
Pentecost is like a Sabbath. The next line says:
It shall be a statute forever in all your dwellings and throughout all your
generations.
Well, hundreds of years later, another Pentecost, on the day of this feast, the Spirit of
God fell on
a group of believers gathered in an upper room. Yes, weve traveled clear down to 50 days
this
side of the resurrection of Christ. And we come to Pentecost again. Acts 2:1-4.
And when the Day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord
in one place.
Thats important!
And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and
it filled all the house where they were sitting, And there appeared unto them

cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all
filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the spirit
gave them utterance.
So, they had the power, they had the strength, they had the knowledge, and they also had
the
tools. They could speak in all those other languages to spread all the word so quickly.
Now, the truth is, these obedient saints are the prototypes of the 144,000 who will also
receive
the fire from heaven. Arent you excited about that? Thats coming up pretty soon and I
want
you to be ready to receive it. And when this experience happens again it will absolutely
infuriate
the antichrist. Why? Because these sealed beautiful saints will not bow, bend, or abandon
their
faith. Neither will they walk away from the commandments or the statutes of the Lord.
You can get a little picture of it with me looking at Daniel chapter 11, verse 44 and 45,
so lets
read this:
But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him...
Theyre going to trouble the antichrist.
...therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away
many.
Oh, you talk about a time of tribulation, thisll be it.
And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious
holy mountain...
Now, Daniel 9:16 tells us the glorious holy mountain is Jerusalem. Some think it
represents the
church but I would hate to see the antichrist sitting in the middle of the church but, you
know,
Im not worried about that interpretation right now. Lets move on with the text:
...he shall come to his end and none shall help him.
All right, the sealing angel comes from the east bringing the latter rain, but the temple,
where his
message originated, was in the sanctuary that lies in the north. Isaiah 14:13-15 tells us
that the
sanctuary in heaven, the throne, is in the sides of the north. So, the sealing angel gets
his
message from the north and approaches planet earth from the east.
Well, lets look at it. Revelation 7, verse 2 through 4:
And I saw another angel sending from the east, having the seal of the living
God...

Oh, this is getting exciting. Friend, this is what you want. This is what youve been
waiting for:
...and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt
the earth and the sea, Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till
we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. And I heard the
number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty
and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
Friends, here is described the final
