Revelation Lesson # 087 THE MOUNT SION: This does not refer to Mount Sion upon the earth (Hebrews 12:18-19)—but to the heavenly Mount Sion (Hebrews 12:22-24)! Psalm 48 speaks specifically of the heavenly Mount Zion, the city of the great King. Psalm 48:1-2 Later in the chapter (verse 5), the 144,000 are said to be "before the throne of God." Thus, this entire group has been transported to Heaven before God's throne. They lived out the promise given in Psalm 91. Psalm 91:5-8 AN HUNDRED AND FORTY AND FOUR THOUSAND: The exact number of those who were promised preservation show up in Heaven preserved as promised in Revelation chapter 7. That chapter views them as they are about to enter their labors, and this chapter shows them after completing their labors. Chapter 7 says they are sealed (a fact); Chapter 14 details the sealing (written). HIS FATHER'S NAME: The word "Father" is found five times in Revelation and is always associated with the relationship with the Father's relationship with the Son, not His relationship with believers. His Father (Revelation 1:5-6, 14:1) My Father (Revelation 2:27, 3:5, 3:21) refers to promises made to the overcomers. Revelation chapter 7 says that these men received a mark. The mark is identified here with the "Father's name written in their foreheads." That name could be Jehovah, Adoni, Elohim, or any title used to describe or refer to God. (The Jehovah's Witnesses, who claim to be one of the 144,000, should be able to show the Father's name written on their foreheads, but of course, it does not exist because they are a cult usurping the designation.) The Antichrist will also place a mark in and upon his followers' right hand or forehead
