Who Are the 144,000? | Revelation 7

Revelation 7 asks the question Revelation 6 left hanging: who is able to stand on the day of judgment? The answer is no one — and yet John sees an innumerable multitude from every nation standing before the throne. In this message from Revelation 7:1-17, Pastor Jake walks through three of the most debated questions in the book: Who are the 144,000? Who is the vast multitude in white robes? And what is the great tribulation? We look at why the tribal list in verses 4-8 doesn't match any list in the Old Testament, why that matters, and why the historic church understood the great tribulation very differently than most of us were taught. But the heart of this passage isn't the debate. It's that no one stands in their own power. Every person in that crowd is there because a good shepherd went looking for them and carried them home. "Our robes are white because His were red." — Charles Spurgeon SCRIPTURE IN THIS MESSAGE Revelation 6:16-17 | Revelation 7:1-17 | Revelation 5:5-6 | Romans 8:38-39 Genesis 22:17-18 | Luke 15:4-7 | Jude 24-25 CHAPTERS 00:00 - [add timings] Subscribe for weekly expository preaching through Scripture. #Revelation7 #144000 #GreatTribulation #BibleStudy #Sermon DATE: September 20, 2026 SPEAKER: Pastor Jake Gard Website → http://www.pinecrestonline.org Facebook →   / pinecrestonline   Instagram → @pinecrestcommunitychurch
