How firm a foundation,

Ye saints of the Lord is laid for your faith in his excellent word.

God is faithful.

Do you need to be reminded of that?

Well, if so, stay with us for Dr. J. Vernon McGee's heartfelt study in Revelation 14, verses 1 to 4.

Welcome to Through the Bible.

I'm Steve Schwartz, your host, and I'm glad that you're aboard the Bible bus with us.

Before we get started, though, we've got a brief introduction.

Here's Dr. McGee.

We have come through chapters 12 and 13, which without any shadow of a doubt,

bring the world to the darkest period in its history.

And actually, the world goes through that period that the Lord Jesus labeled the Great

Tribulation period.

Well, at the beginning of the period, the Lord Jesus sealed 144,000.

And the question is going to arise arise how many of them made it through the

great tribulation period and that of course is something that would engage the attention of

all of us could they make it through well we're going to see the lamb on mountain sign,

and you know how many has with him? 144,000. Not 143,999,99. Not one of those little sheep got lost.

He came through with all of them. And if they all made it through

that number, I want to say that I come back to his parable that the Lord Jesus gave the shepherd that

had a hundred sheep, and one little sheep got, you know, off lost, and he went after it because when this shepherd

starts out with 100 sheep or 144,000 sheep, he always comes through with 100 sheep and 144,000 sheep.
