So what is this 144,000? Who are they? I don’t actually think there’s a single answer to this but I do believe I’ve found one of them. Since the Bible, and the book of the Unveiling especially, speaks in symbol and allegory it’s only fair to say there are many possibilities to it’s real meaning. I’d say that the orthodox “understanding” of the book is the one that’s most incorrect. We’ll get into more of that later.

So let’s get to it. Most folks have heard of Chakras. If you haven’t, I strongly encourage you to do some homework. They’re basically where the universal life force energy plugs into your body. Whirling vortices of energy at specific vibrations are channeled into your vital systems via these nerve centers. When there’s a blockage, disease manifests. It’s really fascinating stuff. Anyway, these energy centers are represented by different stages of the lotus flower, which is itself a symbol of purity of the body. Here are the chakras and their corresponding lotus blossoms:

Making reference to the 144000 sealed men whose speaks in the Revelation (Apocalypse), this number is that of the election, 12, carried to its paroxysm: 12 x 12 x 1000, where 1000 is a coefficient of the immensity. In others words, this number indicates that all the elects, without exception, are kept under the protection of God.

Bible

Number of sealed or elected of all the tribes of Israel, marked of the seal of God. (Rv 7,1)

General

The 144000 petals of the main chakra or coronal (located to the summit of the cranium) represent the 144000 rays of light originated from all the seven chakras, or centers of energy of the body, deployed and balanced, or again the 144000 vibrations of the divine Creation which travel in the cosmos and that are source of life.

In the Gospel of Barnabe, chapter 17, it is written: "144000 prophets that God sent to the world, have spoken obscurely; but after me will come the splendor of all prophets and saint; he will illuminate the darkness of whole what have told the prophets, because it is the messenger of God". Some have seen in this passage an allusion to Muhammad, "The Seal of prophets" (Koran XXX, 40).

When we add the number of petals of the five inferior psychic centers, we obtain a total of 48 petals. By adding 96 petals of the frontal center (the place of the third eye where the small number must receive its divine mark), we obtain the number 144, symbol of the perfect and expressed spiritual work, that is to say of the marriage between the soul and the personality. If now we multiply 144 by the thousand petals of the coronal center, we obtain 144000, the number of the elects, who will be all these that will have waked up in them the seven stars or spiritual and psychic centers.

John Phaure advances two mathematics divisions which, according to him, are very revealing. As numbers he uses the 144000 servants of God "marked to the front", the number of the Beast, 666 and 216, a fundamental cyclic and cabalistic number (tenth of the one Era: 2160 / 10) that he interprets as one of figures of the Christ:

144 000 / 216 = 666 with a rest of 144

144 000 / 666 = 216 with a rest of 144

These results express according to him that the 144000 "marked" as servants of God before the advent the Antichrist are here the object of the eschatologic combat between the Christ and his Adversary. From this combat leaves "the rest": 144, those who will be the Elects of the celestial Jerusalem". He points out moreover than 666 + 144 = 810, numerical value of the Greek word Parakletos, the Paraclete. Thus the Holy Spirit espressed at the end of time "will be the 'glorificater' of the Creation".

By using the pyramidal inch, the external volume of the tomb of the Room of the King in the Great Pyramid gives 144000 cubic inches. The pyramidal inch measures 25.303 mm. By using this unit of measure, the pyramid would have a height of 5800 inches and a volume of 160 billion cubic inches, giving all numbers without decimal.

The external recovery of the Great Pyramid would be made of 144000 stones.

Occurrence

The number 144000 is used 3 times in the Bible.

"Because the Holy Spirit lives inside us, we are never truly alone."

RELATED SCRIPTURE

John 14:16-18

Hebrews 13:5

Acts 21-22

John 14:16-18

"Loneliness will creep into most lives at some point. However, as believers, we are never truly alone because God has given us an unfailing companion—the Holy Spirit.

None of us can truthfully promise always to be available; the realities of time, distance, and even death can separate people. Thankfully, by sending the Holy Spirit to live inside of us, Jesus keeps His promise to never leave or forsake us (Hebrews 13:5).

Human beings were never meant to live alone. God designed us to be complete only when we are indwelt by His Spirit, which occurs upon our salvation. We can, however, choose to ignore the Holy Spirit. For example, some people stubbornly attempt to live the Christian life in their own strength or skip Bible reading when they find meditating on the Word inconvenient. That kind of life is marked by discontent: Peace will be fleeting, and loneliness will feel like the heart’s permanent resident.

The Holy Spirit is our parakletos, or companion who “walks beside.” If we hold Him at arm’s length, we distance ourselves from the Father as well. But if we ask the Spirit to guide our steps and open our mind to God’s plans, He will support and encourage us in ways we never imagined."

Nuestro compañero incomparable...

Gracias a que el Espíritu Santo vive en nosotros, nunca estamos solos.

Juan 14.16-18

La soledad se infiltrará en nuestra vida en algún momento. Sin embargo, como creyentes, nunca estamos solos porque Dios nos ha dado un compañero sin igual: el Espíritu Santo.

Ninguno de nosotros puede prometer, sin reservas, estar siempre disponible; las realidades del tiempo, la distancia e incluso la muerte pueden separar a las personas. No obstante, al enviar al Espíritu Santo a vivir en nosotros, Cristo cumple su promesa de nunca desampararnos ni dejarnos (He 13.5).

Los seres humanos no fuimos creados para vivir solos. Dios nos diseñó para ser completos solo cuando el Espíritu Santo viene a morar en nosotros, en el momento de nuestra salvación. Sin embargo, hay quienes eligen ignorar al Espíritu Santo sin darse cuenta. Por ejemplo, cuando tratan de perseverar en la fe con sus propias fuerzas o dejan de leer la Palabra de Dios. Esa clase de persona se caracteriza por estar descontenta: su paz es efímera, y su soledad se sentirá como un residente permanente de su corazón.

El Espíritu Santo es nuestro parakletos, o compañero que “camina a nuestro lado”. Si lo mantenemos lejos, también nos alejamos del Padre. Pero si le pedimos al Espíritu que guíe nuestros pasos y abra nuestra mente a los planes de Dios, ��l nos apoyará y alentará de maneras que ni imaginamos.

(Ps. Charles Stanley).

parakletos “παράκλητος” , mу art, 297×420 , pencil drawing, 2024

In the ancient Greek translation of the Bible, the word “παράκλητος” (parakletos) is used instead of “comforter.” However, it carries a deeper meaning than just “comforter.” Primarily, it refers to someone who can come to aid, and the reasons for their assistance play a significant role. The ancient Greeks used this term to describe an advocate in complex legal matters, a defense witness, an expert providing advice in difficult situations, or someone who encourages and supports disheartened soldiers in the army. Another meaning of this word, which conveys the essence of consolation, is someone who walks alongside

[story-of-christ]

John 14:16-17 “he shall give you another [allos] COMFORTER [parakletos], that he may abide with you forever; 17 Even the SPIRIT OF TRUTH;”

John 14:26 “But the COMFORTER [parakletos], which is the Holy Ghost,”

John 15:26 “when the COMFORTER [parakletos] is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the SPIRIT OF TRUTH,”

John 16:7 “if I go not away, the COMFORTER [parakletos] will not come unto you;”

John 16:13 “when he, the SPIRIT OF TRUTH, is come, he will guide you into all truth:”

Note that EVERY verse is referring to the COMFORTER [Greek = parakletos] and SPIRIT OF TRUTH.

So who is the COMFORTER and SPIRIT OF TRUTH?

In John 14:6 Jesus says, “I am the truth” and by His Spirit He is the “Spirit of truth.” (John 14:17)

And in John 14:18 Jesus said, “I will not leave you

comfortless: I will come to you.”

It is Christ by “HIS” Spirit!

Many get confused because Jesus said he will send “another” Comforter not realizing that the “another” is HIS SPIRIT. The Greek word “allos” for “another” in John 14:16 means another of the exact same kind. Jesus was present with His disciples in physical form, but after His ascension He comes back in another form, that is, by His Spirit. Hence the “another” is His Spirit.

Because Christ's Spirit can function independently of Himself, it is like His Spirit is “another.” And because it is His Spirit, it is “another” of the same kind. If it was someone different, John would have used the Greek word “heteros” which means another of a different kind.

1 John 2:1 also reveals that Jesus is our “parakletos” (Comforter).

John 14:16, 26; 15:26; 16:7 above and 1 John 2:1 below are the only verses that use this Greek word which means “ADVOCATE and COMFORTER.” So the Greek text also reveals that our COMFORTER and Advocate is JESUS CHRIST the righteous!

“If any man sin, we have an advocate [parakletos] (Comforter) with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:” 1 John 2:1

And here is further proof from Ellen White who of course confirms that the COMFORTER and SPIRIT OF TRUTH is the HOLY SPIRIT OF CHRIST.

“This refers to the omnipresence of the SPIRIT of CHRIST, called the COMFORTER.” — (Ellen White, 14MR 179.2)

“Let them study the seventeenth of John, and learn how to pray and how to live the prayer of CHRIST. HE is THE COMFORTER. He will abide in their hearts, making their joy full.” — (E. G. White, Review and Herald, January 27, 1903)

“JESUS comes to you as the SPIRIT of TRUTH; study the mind of the Spirit, consult your Lord, follow His way.” — (Ellen White, 2MR 337.1)

“We cannot be with Christ in person, as were His first disciples, but HE has sent HIS Holy Spirit to guide us into all truth, and through this power we too can bear witness for this Saviour. (John 16:13 quoted)” - (Ellen White, Ms30, June 18, 1900)

Only God can provide total security Part 4B

Eternal security and the Trinity

Two Views of Salvation

Some people would say that man’s work can help him earn salvation, whereas others say salvation is entirely God’s work.

If salvation can be earned or deserved in any way, based on our actions, then there is a possibility that we might stumble and lose it again. This is in effect a ‘social gospel’ a gospel based on good works. This would mean that salvation was gained by doing good works and implies a necessary standard of conduct.

If, like most Christians we believe that salvation is entirely the work of God, then we could only lose it through some failure on God’s part. This is of course impossible.

The Bible is clear on this point that salvation is a gift of God.

Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

Four Foundational Principles for the Eternal Security of a believer

1. God’s omniscience; he knows everything, past, present, and future. He knows each one of us at our worst (faults and failings) and at our best. He knew what he was doing when he saved each one of us. He was big enough to complete the task of preparing us for eternity.

Romans 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

See also 2 Timothy 2:13, Isaiah 46:9-10.

2. The nature of a gift from God; Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

A wage is earned, but a gift is given, the Greek word for gift charisma means a gift. Eternal life is a gift, and the Scripture says in Romans 11 :29 the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.

If we could lose our salvation, then surely God’s omniscience and grace would be in doubt!

3. The work of the Trinity in our salvation

All three personalities of the triune Godhead co-operated in our salvation. The idea that any or all of them failed is absurd.

a) The work of the Father.

Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

Father God planned our salvation and has adopted us into his family.

Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

It was the Father who began the good work in us, and He will faithfully complete it.

b) The work of the Son

Jesus died for every sin; past, present, and future. If even one sin was not covered by his blood, then we would be in grave danger. But thank God that no sin can now affect God’s plan, because they have all been considered since Jesus died for the sins of the whole world.

Jesus is our advocate (1 John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:). The parakletos (advocate) means one called alongside to help. Jesus does not turn his back on us when we sin but rather, he rushes to the Father saying, ‘Yes, I know he is guilty, but I paid for that sin on the cross’.

When we get to heaven there will be great rejoicing ‘He (Jesus) shall see the travail of his soul and be satisfied (Isaiah 53:11).

Jesus is both judge and advocate (John 5:22,27). The court is biased in our favour!

c) The work of the Father and Son Together.

John 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing but should raise it up again at the last day.40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that everyone which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

The Father gives men to the Son and He will lose none of them!

John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never [2] perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man can pluck them out of my Father's hand. 30 I and my Father are one.

d) The work of the Holy Spirit.

We are sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise Ephesians 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 14 Which is the earnest [3] of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

We are sealed now at the point of salvation. This implies a ‘done deal’. God owns us from that moment forever. The King of King’s seal cannot be reversed.

4. The family or kindred relationship.

We are born-again into God’s family; Galatians 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

Even if we deny Our Father, He remains faithful to us.

Amen

El Espíritu Santo y el Liderazgo Cristiano

La obra del Espíritu Santo es central en la teología cristiana, abarcando desde la creación hasta el apocalipsis, y su estudio se denomina "pneumatología". En el Antiguo Testamento (AT), el Espíritu Santo se introduce como una fuerza divina que impone orden y capacita a individuos para tareas específicas, aunque su presencia no es constante. Los profetas anticipan una era en que el Espíritu estará presente de manera permanente en los creyentes, anunciando un derramamiento universal del Espíritu que habilitará a la gente para vivir en santidad, amor y justicia.

El Nuevo Testamento (NT) cumple esta profecía a través de Jesucristo, quien ministra en el poder del Espíritu Santo, prometiendo a su vez enviar el Espíritu a la comunidad cristiana. El Espíritu es descrito como "parakletos", es decir, un ayudante o abogado que guiará a los creyentes hacia la verdad, recordará las enseñanzas de Cristo, capacitará a la comunidad para hacer actos extraordinarios, dará testimonio de Cristo y convencerá al mundo de pecado, justicia y juicio.

El bautismo en el Espíritu Santo, que significa ser sumergido en el poder divino, inicia una nueva fase en la vida de fe, marcada por la presencia de Dios y el perdón de pecados. El libro de Hechos relata cómo el Espíritu Santo se derrama sobre los creyentes durante Pentecostés, dotándolos para predicar en múltiples idiomas y estableciendo una iglesia multicultural y multilingüe. Las epístolas reconocen al Espíritu Santo como el Espíritu de Dios y de Cristo, y diferencian el poder del Espíritu en "dynamis" (poder explosivo) y "exousía" (autoridad delegada).

El NT también detalla listas de dones espirituales otorgados para el liderazgo y la edificación de la iglesia, destacando roles como apostolado, profecía y enseñanza, así como dones de sabiduría, ministerio y poder. Estos dones unen a la Iglesia y la edifican como un cuerpo compuesto por miembros diversos, todos importantes para el funcionamiento del todo.

En resumen, el Espíritu Santo es esencial para el liderazgo cristiano efectivo, equipando a los creyentes con dones espirituales para el servicio y la edificación de la iglesia, y promoviendo la unidad en la diversidad dentro del cuerpo de Cristo.

The Logos and the Paraclete AI

Want to see what happens when I chat with ASK AI? Check this out! In Christian theology, the term “paraclete” refers to the Holy Spirit, who is seen as a helper, comforter, and advocate for believers. The term is derived from the Greek word “parakletos,” which means “one who is called alongside.”On the other hand, the term “Logos” is often used in reference to Jesus Christ, and refers to the…

[Little Devocional - #161] “Paraklētos”

“E eu rogarei ao Pai, e ele vos dará outro Consolador, para que fique convosco para sempre” (João 14:16)

No sermão da despedida o Senhor Jesus declara aos Seus discípulos que Ele estava voltando para o Pai, mas ao contrário do que eles poderiam imaginar, não estariam sozinhos, pois o próprio Mestre rogaria para que o Pai lhes enviasse outro Consolador.

O termo utilizado pelo Apóstolo João, do grego paraklētos, é repleto de significado, embora algumas traduções utilizem o termo Consolador para paracletos, não significa apenas isso. Podemos utilizá-la para transmitir a ideia de uma pessoa chamada para prestar auxílio, um intercessor, defensor ou testemunha de caráter.

Perceba que o Mestre utiliza o termo “outro Consolador” indicando para os discípulos que seria Alguém tão pessoal como Ele, o primeiro Consolador. De fato, o Espírito Santo, a terceira Pessoa da Trindade, é um Ser pessoal e não apenas uma força ou algum tipo de energia.

Jesus nos promete que o Pai enviaria Alguém que nos auxiliaria em nossa caminhada, que estaria ao nosso lado pronto para nos orientar, para interceder e nos levantar quando cairmos.

Não estamos sozinhos em nossa caminhada, pois Jesus prometeu que o Espírito Santo estaria conosco para sempre, até o fim e, desta maneira, podemos confiar nEle nos momentos mais difíceis de nossa vida.

Hey, confie na promessa de Jesus, confie no poder auxiliador do Espírito Santo. Somo falhos e fracos, mas Ele está ao nosso lado para nos auxiliar a vencer o pecado, a abandonar as antigas práticas e para nos purificar e nos preparar para Deus.

Que Deus lhe abençoe e até amanhã em mais um #LittleDevocional.

Peace That Conquers

Today's inspiration comes from:

Trusting God with Today

by Charles F. Stanley

Editor’s note: Dr. Charles Stanley, beloved pastor and preacher who passed away in April of 2023, spent his lifetime exhorting others to trust in God… a challenge for all of us especially in difficult times. Trusting Him instead of our own thinking is the way to peace. Enjoy this excerpt of Trusting God with Today.

"These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace."— John 16:33

"'Europe trembled as Hitler’s menacing armies annexed Austria and set their sights on Czechoslovakia. Attempting to appease the dreaded dictator, England’s prime minister Neville Chamberlain traveled to Germany and, on September 29, 1938, signed the infamous Munich Agreement. Upon his return, Chamberlain triumphantly announced, “I believe it is peace for our time.” Less than a year later, Germany had conquered Czechoslovakia and invaded Poland, and World War II had begun.

Was Jesus’ talk of peace like Chamberlain’s optimistic boast? After all, war, violence, hatred, and persecution still exist.

Yet when Jesus promised that He would leave us His peace, He did not ignore the reality of conflict in our lives. That’s why He immediately followed by explaining,

In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world. — John 16:33

You will face adversity — indeed, you may be enduring some today. But when overwhelming circumstances arise that threaten to shake your tranquility, Christ promises that He will be your wise and victorious defender. He is more than able to triumph over whatever you could possibly face.

Jesus, thank You for being my defender and my peace in every situation. Amen.

When Jesus promised that He would leave us His peace, He did not ignore the reality of conflict in our lives.

His Personal Spirit

He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever. — John 14:16

Mystery often surrounds the person of the Holy Spirit — our understanding is often muddled about who He is and what He does. However, it is not possible to make progress in the Christian life apart from His presence. This is because the Holy Spirit is God’s personal representative here on earth, and His role is to be our Helper and Comforter. In Greek, this word is parakletos, and it suggests that He gives us aid much like a legal counselor or advocate would. He comes alongside us, giving us strength and encouraging support. However, if we do not recognize His presence, authority, and power, we can mistakenly believe and act like we are in this life alone.

Jesus knows how important His presence is with us. Therefore, the Lord in His great compassion and wisdom sent His Holy Spirit to teach, guide, and help us.

He instructs us in the truth and is our personal advocate before the throne of God. This is our peace and strength regardless of the circumstances — whatever we face, Christ faces it with us personally through the indwelling presence of His Holy Spirit.

Jesus, thank You for the enduring presence, wisdom, comfort, and power of Your indwelling Holy Spirit with me. Amen."'

First Principles Part Six: The Holy Spirit

WE INDEED HAVE VICTORY through the blood of Christ. First, we surrender our will and our life to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
