Why wait for 144,000? Revelation 7:1–17 KJV During the darkest period this world will ever experience, God will demonstrate that neither the Antichrist, persecution, judgment, nor death can stop the Gospel of Jesus Christ.Revelation 7 takes us into one of the darkest periods of human history, yet it reveals an extraordinary display of God's mercy. Before further judgment falls, God seals 144,000 servants from the tribes of Israel. Then John sees a great multitude that no man can number, from every nation, kindred, people, and tongue, standing before the throne and praising the Lamb.This message examines God's sealed servants, the tremendous harvest of souls associated with the Great Tribulation, and the eternal victory awaiting those whose robes are made white in the blood of the Lamb.Revelation 7 also confronts the Church with an urgent question:If God will have witnesses during the Tribulation, what are we doing with our opportunity to witness today?The time to preach Christ is now.The time to reach our families is now.The time to win the lost is now.Until the trumpet sounds, the Church must faithfully proclaim that Jesus Christ still saves.The Church will be gone—but God will not be silent.

The church of Sardis had lost the power of the Holy Spirit. What is the remedy for a church that is dying and on life support? It is only through the power of the Spirit of the Lord Jesus who speaks the word and that brings individuals back to life.

The sermon uses the story of the impotent man at the Pool of Bethesda to illustrate the spiritual condition of sinners who are unable to save themselves. It contrasts the religious sinner, the heathen sinner, and the hopeless sinner to emphasize that only Jesus can provide true hope and healing. The preacher argues that salvation is an instantaneous work of God that requires a personal desire for help rather than reliance on human effort or religious rituals. By asking 'Wilt thou be made whole?', Jesus invites individuals to acknowledge their need and accept immediate spiritual restoration. The message concludes with an urgent invitation for lost sinners to surrender to Christ and receive salvation from the penalty of sin.
