Going through the thread put up on the religion board concerning a woman (Linda) who brought a warning message to the world (Nigerians), while reading people's comments and also confirming the various bible passages some of them quoted to support their views, a particular quotation got my attention specially:


Revelation 14 vs 1-6 says (for the 'christians' in the majority who do not even own a bible, read their bible nor know where revelation is)
1: And i looked, and lo,a lamb stood on the mount zion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousands, having his father's name written in their foreheads.
2: And i heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and i heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
3: And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
4: These are they which were not DEFILED with women, for they are VIRGINS. These are they which follow the lamb whithersoever he goeth. These are redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the lamb.
5: And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without FAULT before the throne of God.

Looking at verse 4, what do you think it was addressing?

The 144,000, Two Harvests.

That chapter also spoke about 2 harvests, the 144k are the ones going to the new heaven being the 1st to be caught up in heaven while the second harvest is for those who are to inherit the new earth.

Can some bible scholars shed more light on this? There are other bible references to buttress my view.

Chai, since this thread was created, no single comment on it, does it mean majority of Christians don't read their bible on their own or don't understand what they read unless a "pastor" explain to them?

Bible is not that scarce na, how come no one is for, against or neutral on the meaning of the verses that i quoted?

Terrible!
