THE LAMB AND HIS PEOPLE..

After the Human Disobedience, God said, "Now 'these human beings' have become like one of us ...' ". (Genesis 3:22)
God refers to a part of the human creation that disobeyed His Laws and elevated themselves in their minds to become like Him and have knowledge of what is good and what is bad, in their own terms.
God's plans to save His people started before the World was created. He gave to everyone the chance to prove themselves how loyal they were to Him and at the same time He used the World as a battle-ground between good and evil.
Since all human beings belonged to a specific way of living, just one wrong action jeopardized all of them. Then God banished all from the Garden of Eden to cultivate the soil (flesh and mind) from which they had been formed.
Then at the EAST side of the Garden of Eden God put Living Creatures (angels of the highest rank), and a Flaming Sword (His Word) and said, "They must not be allowed to take fruit from the 'Tree of Life', eat it, and live forever."
Then Cain, the first murderer, came to the World through Eve and became a farmer. After him came Abel who became a shepherd. Notice how specific the Scripture is in mentioning the craft in which both were involved; both had to deal with the flesh. Cain, as a farmer, chose to plant in his mind everything that pleased him without refrain. Abel, as a shepherd, instead chose to control the animal way in his self and offered the best of him to serve God.
The Scripture says, "After some time Cain brought some of his harvest and gave it as an offering to the Lord. Then Abel brought the First Lamb born to one of his sheep, killed it, and gave the best parts of it as an offering." (Genesis 4: 3-4). Symbolically it represent two groups of human beings. One group lacking Respect, Honor and Loyalty to God and the other group showing an immense amount of Faith towards God, and the sincere desire of pleasing Him.
In Exodus 19, the Scripture says, "The People of Israel left Rephidim, and on the 1st Day of the 3rd Month after they had left Egypt (World) they came to the desert of Sinai. There they set up camp at the foot of Mount Sinai and Moses went up the Mountain to meet with God. ... He told Moses to say to the Israelites, Jacob's descendants: 'You saw what I, the Lord, did to the Egyptians (the World) and how I carried you as an eagle carries her young on her wings, and brought you here to Me. Now, if you will obey Me and keep My Covenant, you will be My chosen people; a people dedicated to Me alone, and you will serve Me as priests." (Exodus 19: 1-6)
God planned everything in advance and made the rules in which free choice played a big role.
The Exodus 19:8 says, "Then all the people answered together, "We will do everything that the Lord has said," and Moses reported this to the Lord. And the Lord said to him, "Go to the people and tell them to spend 'today and tomorrow' purifying themselves for worship. (Even the priests who come near Me must purify themselves, or I will punish them.) They 'must wash their clothes and be ready' the Day after Tomorrow. On that Day I will come down on Mount Sinai, where all the people can see Me. Mark a boundary around the Mountain that the people must not cross and tell them not to go up the mountain or even go near it. If any of you set foot on it, you are to be put to death; you must either be stoned or shot with arrows, without anyone touching you. This applies to both people and animals; they must be put to death. But when the trumpet is blown, then the people are to go up to the Mountain. (Exodus 19: 9-13)
In the Book of Revelation, Chapter 14, the writer says,"... there was the Lamb standing on Mount Zion; with Him were 144,000 People who have His Name and His Father's Name written on their foreheads. Then I heard a 'voice from heaven' that sounded like a 'roaring waterfall', like a 'loud peal of thunder'. The voice sounded like the 'music made by musicians playing their harps'. (Revelation 14: 1-2)
The 144,000 People stood before the Throne, the 4 Living Creatures, and the Elders. They were singing 'a new song', which 'only they could learn'. (Revelation 14: 3)
Then the writer explains the nature of these People by saying, "Of the whole Human Race the 144,000 are the only ones who have been redeemed. They are the 'men who have kept themselves pure' by not having sexual relations with women (representing the world); they are virgins. They follow the Lamb wherever He goes. They have been redeemed from the rest of the Human Race and are the First Ones to be offered to God and to the Lamb. They have never been known to tell lies; they are faultless. (4-5)
In the Book of Revelation, Chapter 22, Jesus says, "Listen! I am coming soon! I will bring my rewards with Me, to give to each one according to what he has done. I Am the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End." (Revelation 22: 12-13)
"Happy are those who wash their robes clean and so have 'the right to eat' the Fruit from the Tree of Life and to go through the Gates into the city. But outside the city are the perverts and those who practice magic, the immoral and the murderers, those who worship idols and those who are liars both in words and deeds." (Revelation 22: 14-15)
