Revelation 14:1. And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, Jesus is not dead, he still lives. He is not defeated: "a Lamb stood on the mount Sion." He is not disturbed or troubled, but he stands in the posture of quiet confidence. "A Lamb stood on the mount Sion;" Jesus is not driven out of his Church, but he is still dwelling in the midst of his people.
That is something, yet unbelief says, "Well, I can understand that John saw the Lord there, but had he any people with him? Had he any Church? Listen: "I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion," -
Revelation 14:1. And with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads.
They are all there, a vast number, a complete number, the exact number which in the seventh chapter of this Book had been described as sealed. They are all there without exception; not one of them is lost, but they all stand fast as a great army surrounding their glorious Leader. Yes, my brethren, in the darkest times, Christ has his Church still around him; it is with him as it was when the Lord said to Elijah, "Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him." Be of good courage; if your eyes are but anointed with the heavenly eye-salve, you may see, as John saw, the Lamb on mount Sion, surrounded by multitudes of faithful followers.
