There's alot about the Levites that has been taken out and obscured by the bible writers and preachers that must be revealed to truly understand the scriptures. One of these truths is that the Levites were not numbered with Israel. This truth proves Revelation's account of the 144,000 sealed as the 12 tribes of Israel to be false, and that the 144,000 saints were indeed the Levites.
Rev 7:2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
Rev 7:3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
Rev 7:4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: [and there were] sealed an hundred [and] forty [and] four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
---------
------------
Rev 7:7 Of the tribe of Simeon [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar [were] sealed twelve thousand.



The tribe of Levi was never numbered with Israel because Christ was their inheritance the reason for the half tribes of Manassah and Ephraim:
Num 1:47 But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not numbered among them.
Num 1:48 For the LORD had spoken unto Moses, saying,
Num 1:49 Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum of them among the children of Israel:
Num 1:50 But thou shalt appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of testimony, and over all the vessels thereof, and over all things that [belong] to it: they shall bear the tabernacle, and all the vessels thereof; and they shall minister unto it, and shall encamp round about the tabernacle.
Num 26:62 And those that were numbered of them were twenty and three thousand, all males from a month old and upward: for they were not numbered among the children of Israel, because there was no inheritance given them among the children of Israel.
Num 26:63 These [are] they that were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who numbered the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan [near] Jericho.
Num 26:64 But among these there was not a man of them whom Moses and Aaron the priest numbered, when they numbered the children of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai.
Num 26:65 For the LORD had said of them, They shall surely die in the wilderness. And there was not left a man of them, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
Twenty three thousand Levites, Caleb the son of Jephunneh, Joshua the son of Nun, and Moses were the only surviving seed of Abraham that came out of Egypt and remained at this point in the Exodus! The Levites were not numbered with the Israelites, they did not die out during the 42 yrs in the wilderness! Twenty three thousand Levites, including Moses', and Aaron's sons survive the wilderness!


Num 18:20 And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I [am] thy part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel.
Num 18:21 And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, [even] the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Num 18:22 Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die.
Num 18:23 But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: [it shall be] a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they have no inheritance.
Num 18:24 But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer [as] an heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance



Based on 1 Chr 25:1, David in his 70th and last year numbers the Levites just before Solomon builds the temple. This was the Levites transition from the the tabernacle to the temple"
1Ch 25:1 Moreover David and the captains of the host separated to the service of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals: and the number of the workmen according to their service was:
---------
---------
1Ch 25:7 So the number of them, with their brethren that were instructed in the songs of the LORD, [even] all that were cunning, was two hundred fourscore and eight.
These Levites were separated in courses. These are the singers and playeres of instuments in Revelation, the 144,000 virgins, clothed in white linen that follows the Lamb where ever he goes.

According to 1 Chr 24-28, the sons of Levi were divided into 5 offices of 24 divisions each. The divisions where the sons of Aaron, the heads of the Levites, the singers, the porters, and the officers and Judges.

The figures and scripture proves that the grandsons of Aaron were sealed, and would have to had been sealed during the forming of the tabernacle in the wilderness. If the grandsons of Aaron were sealed in their offices during the Exodus, then the other offices had to of been sealed also, including Moses' grandsons.

The divisions David sealed were the 12 sons of each of these 24 divisions of 5, whom each had 4 sons. This was the order and customs of the Levites during the history of the temple, including the rekindling, and the rebuilding of the 2nd temple, post Babylon.

The crowning of Joshua the son of Josedech the high priest is another story, but the rebuilding coincided with the 500th yr of temple service. A 25 generation span, that if you do the math, numbers 144,000 singers and players of instruments, sealed during that period of time.

Twenty four divisions of 5 departments equals 120 offices, times 12 sons each, equals 1440, times the 4 grandsons each of these 1440 offices, equals 5,760 offices, over a span of 25 generations serving from the age of 30 to 50, equals 144,000. Five thousand seven hundred and sixty offices times 25, equals 144,000!

The 5 offices, of the 24 divisions of the Levites, had to of been sealed at the raising of the tabernacle, 2 yrs after leaving Egypt, when the tabernacle was raised in the wilderness!

All this has been hidden to hide the truth about the 144,000 singers and players of instruments in Revelation, and the signifance of Joshua being crowned King and High Priest in Israel post Babylon!

1Ch 9:33 And these [are] the singers, chief of the fathers of the Levites, [who remaining] in the chambers [were] free: for they were employed in [that] work day and night.
1Ch 15:16 And David spake to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren [to be] the singers with instruments of musick, psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up the voice with joy.
1Ch 15:27 And David [was] clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites that bare the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the master of the song with the singers: David also [had] upon him an ephod of linen.
2Ch 5:12 Also the Levites [which were] the singers, all of them of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, [being] arrayed in white linen, having cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them an hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets:)
2Ch 5:13 It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers [were] as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up [their] voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the LORD, [saying], For [he is] good; for his mercy [endureth] for ever: that [then] the house was filled with a cloud, [even] the house of the LORD;
2Ch 20:21 And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy [endureth] for ever
Ezr 7:7 And there went up [some] of the children of Israel, and of the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nethinims, unto Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.


These are the 144,000 sealed in Revelatin:
Rev 14:1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty [and] four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
Rev 14:2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
Rev 14:3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred [and] forty [and] four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
Rev 14:4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, [being] the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
Rev 15:2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, [and] over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
Rev 15:3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous [are] thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true [are] thy ways, thou King of saints.
The stone the builders refused!
 
Ezekiel 44:15 NKJV
“But the priests, the Levites, the sons of Zadok, who kept charge of My sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from Me, they shall come near Me to minister to Me; and they shall stand before Me to offer to Me the fat and the blood,” says the Lord GOD.


Only the sons of Zadok remained faithful to God so I disagree with your theory. :)

The 144,000 is a symbolic number which depicts God's elect.

That did go thru my mind, but the evidence for Christ being the Levite's inheritance, their surviving the wilderness, David's sealing them in their courses, and the crowning of Joshua, far out weights that point.

As for only the sons of Zadok remaining faithful, that's a lie. When Israel went astray, Jeroboam made the lowest of the people priests.


2Ch 11:13 And the priests and the Levites that [were] in all Israel resorted to him out of all their coasts.
2Ch 11:14 For the Levites left their suburbs and their possession, and came to Judah and Jerusalem: for Jeroboam and his sons had cast them off from executing the priest's office unto the LORD:

Zadok's sons were the only faithful Levites during that time period.

1 Kings 13:33 NKJV
After this event Jeroboam did not turn from his evil way, but again he made priests from every class of people for the high places; whoever wished, he consecrated him, and he became one of the priests of the high places.

1 Kings 14:10
therefore behold! I will bring disaster on the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam every male in Israel, bond and free; I will take away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as one takes away refuse until it is all gone.


The house of Jeroboam did not survive due to Jeroboam's sins.

There were no kings in power from the line of David when Jesus was born yet Jesus is now the last and the everlasting king in the line of Davidic kings and Jesus is now and forevermore high priest in the order of Melchizedek. He is not the high priest in the Levitic order of priests.

The Levites were priests in the Old Covenant and that Covenant is no longer in force.

The 144,000 is a symbolic number and it depicts God's elect.

You're a blasphemer!

You're purposely blaspheming the facts!
 
This truth proves Revelation's account of the 144,000 sealed as the 12 tribes of Israel to be false, and that the 144,000 saints were indeed the Levites.

It's always dangerous to try and prove the Bible wrong.

Eze 48:11 - [It shall be] for the priests that are sanctified of the sons of Zadok; which have kept my charge, which went not astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray.

The Levites, as organized by David, had rejected their promised inheritance by the time of the Babylonian exile. The sons of Zadok (a subset of Levites) maintained their faith and were thus to be rewarded with the preeminent position among the Levitical priesthood in the rebuilt Jewish Temple.

Of course this thread does prove that there is more than one way to arrive at 144K.

The Levites could never reject their inheritance if they were sealed, especially since they have been written out of scripture. That' s just another deception by the enemy as is Revelation's account of the Levites being numbered with Israel!
 
You're a blasphemer!

You're purposely blaspheming the facts!

Name-calling is an example of un-Christian behavior. :nono2

Who were the decision-makers who were instrumental in condemning Jesus Christ to crucifixion? The chief priests and scribes and Pharisees and Herodians.

Mark 14:1 NKJV
14 After two days it was the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take Him by trickery and put Him to death.

Mark 3:6 NKJV
Then the Pharisees went out and immediately plotted with the Herodians against Him, how they might destroy Him.


Why was Jerusalem destroyed and also its temple?

Matthew 23:37
“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!

Luke 19:43-45 NKJV
43 For days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment around you, surround you and close you in on every side, 44 and level you, and your children within you, to the ground; and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not know the time of your visitation.â€
45 Then He went into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in it,


Jerusalem and its temple were both destroyed because of the Jewish leader's unfaithfulness to God and their rejection and murder of His prophets and His Son Jesus Christ.

Oops! I should have said that the 144,000 is a symbolic number and it depicts the large number of virgin men who are members of the elect.

Revelation 14:1-5 NKJV
Then I looked, and behold, a Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His Father’s name written on their foreheads. 2 And I heard a voice from heaven, like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of loud thunder. And I heard the sound of harpists playing their harps. 3 They sang as it were a new song before the throne, before the four living creatures, and the elders; and no one could learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who were redeemed from the earth. 4 These are the ones who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These were redeemed from among men, being firstfruits to God and to the Lamb. 5 And in their mouth was found no deceit, for they are without fault before the throne of God.


The many, many Levites who married and had children are definitely not virgins and so they are not numbered among the 144,000 mentioned in Revelation 14 so your theory is incorrect.
 
Name-calling is an example of un-Christian behavior. :nono2
So is a false balance and unjust weights!

Shows how much you know, they weren't the chief fathers of the Levites! The greek lil horn ended the Zadok/Aaron priestly line of succession when the Jews became Hellenized after the prophets ceased!

Mark 14:1 NKJV
14 After two days it was the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take Him by trickery and put Him to death.
You need to research the history of the Pharisees, Sadducees, and the Maccabes.

Why was Jerusalem destroyed and also its temple?

Matthew 23:37
“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!

45 Then He went into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in it,
Sounds like the same reason Nebuchadnezzar destroyed it in the 1st place.

Jerusalem and its temple were both destroyed because of the Jewish leader's unfaithfulness to God and their rejection and murder of His prophets and His Son Jesus Christ.
Yeah, but what you don't know is that God blamed the leaders who were , idolators, the worshippers of Baal !


Oops! I should have said that the 144,000 is a symbolic number and it depicts the large number of virgin men who are members of the elect.
JMJ 23:13


Revelation 14:1-5 NKJV
Then I looked, and behold, a Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His Father’s name written on their foreheads.
You just said they were symbolic.


2 And I heard a voice from heaven, like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of loud thunder. And I heard the sound of harpists playing their harps. 3 They sang as it were a new song before the throne, before the four living creatures, and the elders; and no one could learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who were redeemed from the earth. 4 These are the ones who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These were redeemed from among men, being firstfruits to God and to the Lamb. 5 And in their mouth was found no deceit, for they are without fault before the throne of God.
You mean to tell me there was another group of Jews that played the harps? Blasphemy!

The many, many Levites who married and had children are definitely not virgins and so they are not numbered among the 144,000 mentioned in Revelation 14 so your theory is incorrect.
Wow! 144,000 Jewishmen that never married? Once again someone is deliberately ignore the facts. Why?

Where is your proof that these particular leaders/chief leaders were literal worshipers of Baal? Scripture employs many metaphors to explain Israel's and/or Judah's unfaithfulness to God.

1 Kings 19:10 (NKJV)
10 So he said, “I have been very zealous for the Lord God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I alone am left; and they seek to take my life.”

1 Kings 19:18 (NKJV)
18 Yet I have reserved seven thousand in Israel, all whose knees have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that has not kissed him.”


The two previous Scripture verses are combined and quoted again in the NT:

Romans 11:3-5 (NKJV)
3 “Lord, they have killed Your prophets and torn down Your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life”? 4 But what does the divine response say to him? “I have reserved for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” 5 Even so then, at this present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace.


The Remnant of Israel includes more than the virgin Levite priests.

JMJ 23:13
:D

You just said they were symbolic.

You misunderstood what I wrote. The number 144,000 is a symbolic number and is not meant to be taken literally. The number 7000 is also a symbolic number and is not meant to be taken literally.


You mean to tell me there was another group of Jews that played the harps? Blasphemy!

Genesis 4:21 NKJV
His brother’s name was Jubal. He was the father of all those who play the harp and flute.

2 Samuel 6:5
Then David and all the house of Israel played music before the LORD on all kinds of instruments of fir wood, on harps, on stringed instruments, on tambourines, on sistrums, and on cymbals.


Please read the passage in Revelation again:

2 And I heard a voice from heaven, like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of loud thunder. And I heard the sound of harpists playing their harps. 3 They sang as it were a new song before the throne, before the four living creatures, and the elders; and no one could learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who were redeemed from the earth. 4 These are the ones who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These were redeemed from among men, being firstfruits to God and to the Lamb. 5 And in their mouth was found no deceit, for they are without fault before the throne of God.

It was a particular song that only the 144,000 virgin men could learn, play, and sing. Other people played the harps and sang songs, but none except the 144,000 virgin men could sing and play that particular love song to the Lamb. These men were eunuchs for the kingdom of God. Some of these men were celibate and some were literal eunuchs, but all these men were virgins.

1 Chronicles 15:16
Then David spoke to the leaders of the Levites to appoint their brethren to be the singers accompanied by instruments of music, stringed instruments, harps, and cymbals, by raising the voice with resounding joy.


David did command the leaders of the Levites to appoint their brethren to be the singers. Was David a Levite harpest?

1 Samuel 16:23 NKJV
And so it was, whenever the spirit from God was upon Saul, that David would take a harp and play it with his hand. Then Saul would become refreshed and well, and the distressing spirit would depart from him.


Wow! 144,000 Jewishmen that never married? Once again someone is deliberately ignore the facts. Why?

I don't believe that all the 144,000 virgins are necessarily Levite men nor do I believe that they are all necessarily Jewish men. I do believe that they were all celibate their entire lives. It is possible, perhaps probable, that some of the 144,000 were Levites, but I do not believe that all of the 144,000 were necessarily Levites.

Like I said before, the Levites have been purposely written out of scriptures, that I have proven with infallible proofs The fact that the whole of christianity has failed to mention the Levites surviving the wilderness, the 120 offices of the Levites, and the "bible" authors' attempts to hide these facts is very suspicious. I don't have to play this game with you, and the moderators, of blasphemy!

Your 144,000 theory is merely your opinion. It is fine to have an opinion about things; it is not fine to condemn all persons who disagree with your theories/opinions. Because of your lack of love for others, evidenced by your name-calling, I do not choose to continue this conversation.

Adieu.

As is the 23,000 Levites that survive the wilderness, and the record of David's sealing of the 5 divisions of singers, porters, judges, elders, and the sons of Aaron.

Deduction is the keyword!

We are not all innocent, if we were, then all would be saved!! [Am I not to use my judgement to discern the good fruit from bad friut?]
