Revelation 14:1-10

Revelation 14:1 - And as I looked I saw a lamb standing on mount Sion with One Hundred and Forty Four Thousand more, each with his Father’s name written on their foreheads. [Turker's Comment: I believe it means that 144000 lambs who wore God's name without reserve will stand on mount Sion.]

Revelation 14:2 - Then I heard from the sky a voice which sounded like great water moving or maybe thunder and i heard the music of harps being played. [Turker's Comment: The person heard a grand voice equal to many waters, thunder, and harps from heaven.]

Revelation 14:9 - Then the third angel came, and announced very loudly, that anyone who received the symbol on his hand or his face would be worshiping the beast and accepting the mark of the beast. [Turker's Comment: I think this is from the book of Revelations, but the mark of the beast could be anything, from a computer chip, to a number, or anything yet to be invented. I have heard that the mark of the beast is 666 and I have also heard many years ago that all com;]

Revelation 14:10 - This type of person will be punished by God. God’s judgement is not diluted and he will judge harshly in the presence of those who are worthy to witness it.

Revelation 14:13 - I command you to Write, Blessed are the dead that perish in the presence of the Lord from henceforth. This is what a voice from heaven said to be. I understand, said the Spirit, let them rest for the are tired from their work.
