1 SABBATH SCHOOL LESSON. FOR SEPTEMBER 28TH, 2019. SAVED TO SERVE LESSON # 37. THE REVELATION OF JESUS OF CHRIST. BASED ON REVELATION 14:1-5. MEMORY TEXT: REVELATION 14:5. 1. The 144,000 have the name of the Father which signifies His glory or His Character according to Exodus 33:18, 19; Exodus 34:5-8. Where else does God refer to His Character? Exodus 20:5,6. Ans:_____. The law of God in the sanctuary in heaven is the great original, of which the precepts inscribed upon the tables of stone and recorded by Moses in the Pentateuch were an unerring transcript. Those who arrived at an understanding of this important point were thus led to see the sacred, unchanging character of the divine law. They saw, as never before, the force of the Saviour's words: Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law. Matthew 5:18. The law of God, being a revelation of His will, a transcript of His character, must forever endure, as a faithful witness in heaven.

2 Not one command has been annulled; not a jot or tittle has been changed. Says the psalmist: Forever, O Lord, Thy word is settled in heaven. All His commandments are sure. They stand fast for ever and ever. Psalm 119:89; 111:7, 8. {GC }. 2. Based on the previous question what else can we conclude that is found on the forehead of the 144,000? Deuteronomy 6:1,8. Ans: _____. 3. What is the experience needed to receive the law in the mind? Hebrews 10:16,17. Ans: _____. Note: The Lord wants to write the law in the heart and the mind. If our decisions are made in the mind what does God mean by this? Consider the following quotation. 4. Based on the quotation what makes up the moral character. Ans: _____. You should keep off from Satan's enchanted ground and not allow your minds to be swayed from allegiance to God. Through Christ you may and should be happy and should acquire habits of self-control.

3 Even your thoughts must be brought into subjection to the will of God and your feelings under the control of reason and religion. Your imagination was not given you to be allowed to run riot and have its own way without any effort at restraint or discipline. If the thoughts are wrong the feelings will be wrong, and the thoughts and feelings combined make up the moral character. When you decide that as Christians you are not required to restrain your thoughts and feelings you are brought under the influence of evil angels and invite their presence and their control. If you yield to your impressions and allow your thoughts to run in a channel of suspicion, doubt, and repining you will be among the most unhappy of mortals, and your lives will prove a failure. {5T }. 5. The 144,000 are redeemed from the earth, what does it mean to be redeemed and from what are they redeemed?

4 Leviticus 25:25-27; 1 Peter 1:18,19. Ans: _____. The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine. But the transgressor of God's holy law could be redeemed only by the precious blood of the Son of God. Those who, failing to appreciate the wonderful sacrifice made for them, withhold their means and their physical, mental, and moral powers from the service of Christ, will perish in their selfishness. { 4T }. 6. The 144,000 are not defiled with woman, Revelation 14:4. What does a woman represent Biblically? Ephesians 5:25; Jeremiah 6:2; Isaiah 51:16;. Ans: _____. 7. How is a woman defiled literally?

What is that wine that Babylon uses to make the churches drunk? Isaiah 28:7.

5 Ans: _____. It is our individual duty to walk humbly with God. We are not to seek any strange, new message. We are not to think that the chosen ones of God who are trying to walk in the light compose Babylon. The fallen denominational churches are Babylon. Babylon has been fostering poisonous doctrines, the wine of error. This wine of error is made up of false doctrines, such as the natural immortality of the soul, the eternal torment of the wicked, the denial of the pre-existence of Christ prior to His birth in Bethlehem, and advocating and exalting the first day of the week above God's holy and sanctified day. These and kindred errors are presented to the world by the various churches, and thus the Scriptures are fulfilled that say, For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.' It is a wrath which is created by false doctrines, and when kings and presidents drink this wine of the wrath of her fornication, they are stirred with anger against those who will not come into harmony with the false and satanic heresies which exalt the false sabbath, and lead men to trample underfoot God's memorial.

Graves are opened, and 'many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth .. awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.' All who have died in the faith of the third angel's message come forth from the tomb glorified, to hear God's covenant of peace with those who have kept His law.

7 'They also which pierced Him,' those that mocked and derided Christ's dying agonies, and the most violent opposers of His truth and His people, are raised to behold Him in His glory, and to see the honor placed upon the loyal and obedient.". 14. When does the special resurrection take place? Revelation 16:17. Ans: _____. 15. Do those who go through the special resurrection go through the time of tribulation? Revelation 7:14,15.

Upon the crystal sea before the throne, that sea of glass as it were mingled with fire, so resplendent is it with the glory of God, are gathered the company that have gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name.

8 With the Lamb upon Mount Zion, having the harps of God, they stand, the hundred and forty and four thousand that were redeemed from among men . These are they which came out of great tribulation; they have passed through the time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation; they have endured the anguish of the time of Jacob's trouble; they have stood without an intercessor through the final outpouring of God's judgments. But they have been delivered, for they have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. {GC }. 18. Where did Satan desire to be found? Isaiah 14:13. Ans: _____. 19.
