7. THE HOLY CITY, THE NEW JERUSALEM
All together, through Old and New Testament periods, the definite numbers to be sealed are 144,000. Name of God will be written on the foreheads of those for the Old Testament era, and the name of the Lamb for the New Testament era, and they are staying under the altar with those who are dressed in fine linen until they could avenge their enemies(Rev 6:9-11).?
Rev 14:1 Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion, and with him １４万４千人 who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads.
Rev 6:9-11 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. They called out in a loud voice, "How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?" Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and brothers who were to be killed as they had been was completed.
They are the ones whose names are written on Lamb's book of life(Rev 21:27), and those are the called, chosen and faithful followers(Rev 17:14), and their fine linen stands for the righteous acts(Rev 19:8). Also, they are called Lamb's wife or the city of new Jerusalem(Rev 21:2), and they become the protector of the temple which symbolizes God and Jesus.
Rev 21:2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.
Rev 21:27 Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life.
Other than these sealed people cannot be fought against the Satan because others will worship the beast(Rev 13:8). These armies of heaven will fight, win from the battle with Satan, will have the powers to judge, become priest, and king. Further, they are classified in three groups. These groups include those who had been beheaded because of teaching God's words in the Old Testament period, those who beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and those who are produced in the era of the Winner in the New Testament period(Rev 20:4-6).
Rev 13:8 All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast--all whose names have not been written in the book of life belonging to the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world.
Rev 20:4-6 I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy are those who have part in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years.
