    Rev.14.3 "As it were"

    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"

    In Rev.5 we have the new song sung as a direct response to the Lamb prevailing upon to open the book. "And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof:" They sung, the Spirit wants you to remember that.

    The 144,000 which were redeemed from the earth, the Spirit is particular to state,'sung as it were a new song before the throne" The difference is that these following wherever the Lamb goes are set apart before the worlds began so 144 is as significant as they are virgins'. The Spirit adds, "and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth...These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb." From among men they were redeemed and it is the Will of the Father. So the 144 is a compound number as we have the throne of God and of the Lamb which squarely set as the feature the Gospel. God set the life of man as 120 years (Gen.6.3) As with Noah so with all saints redeemed from among men.(12x10) is a command number as 12x12 where both Gather and the Son are in agreement. They are without fault, "And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God." In the divine Will 'These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth.'(v.4) As a token this bond forged by the gospel they bear the name,' having his Father's name written in their foreheads.'. Thus they are first fruits."The earth is ripe' and we have the harvest

    14.15-19 " And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God." In v.20 The Word is God and his wrath is expressed in terms of 4x4x1000 furlongs.
