The Lamb and the 144,000

14 Then I looked, and lo, on Mount Zion stood the Lamb, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads.

⁶ And these words which I command you this day shall be upon your heart; ⁷ and you shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. ⁸ And you shall bind them as a sign upon your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. ⁹ And you shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

³⁸ Rise and stand, and see at the feast of the Lord the number of those who have been sealed. ³⁹ Those who have departed from the shadow of this age have received glorious garments from the Lord. ⁴⁰ Take again your full number, O Zion, and conclude the list of your people who are clothed in white, who have fulfilled the law of the Lord. ⁴¹ The number of your children, whom you desired, is full; beseech the Lord’s power that your people, who have been called from the beginning, may be made holy.”

Ezra Sees the Son of God

⁴² I, Ezra, saw on Mount Zion a great multitude, which I could not number, and they all were praising the Lord with songs. ⁴³ In their midst was a young man of great stature, taller than any of the others, and on the head of each of them he placed a crown, but he was more exalted than they. And I was held spellbound. ⁴⁴ Then I asked an angel, “Who are these, my lord?” ⁴⁵ He answered and said to me, “These are they who have put off mortal clothing and have put on the immortal, and they have confessed the name of God; now they are being crowned, and receive palms.” ⁴⁶ Then I said to the angel, “Who is that young man who places crowns on them and puts palms in their hands?” ⁴⁷ He answered and said to me, “He is the Son of God, whom they confessed in the world.” So I began to praise those who had stood valiantly for the name of the Lord.
