 Chapter
14: The Lamb stands on Mount Zion:
In Chapter 13, we saw Satan (who had
been cast down from heaven) going after the
followers of Jesus. A beast arises from the
sea...and another beast arises from the earth to
deceive (with miracles and special powers) and speak
false things to those that are on earth. These
beasts try to overcome those who
follow Jesus. All who worship the beast,
having turned away from God, are to receive the mark
of the beast. No one can buy or sell anything
without the mark of the beast.
Chapter 14 begins with the Lamb
standing on Mt. Zion:
 And
I looked, and behold, the Lamb was standing on Mount
Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four
thousand, having His name and the name of His Father
written on their foreheads. Revelation 14:1 (NAS)
This appears to be the same
description of the group in Revelation 7:3-4.
As we saw earlier in the lesson, the significance of
the seal of God on their foreheads is to protect
them from harm:
"...Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, until
we have sealed the bond-servants of our God on their foreheads." And I
heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred and forty-four
thousand sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel..." (NAS)
Question:
According to Revelation 14:1, what did this seal on their
foreheads contain?
