Dr. Davis I learned this from Dr. David Jeremiah years ago statement and it has stuck with me from time when you are God's person doing God's will. You are immortal until God is finished with the this means that you are under God's protection and his control until your job is finished, so I want to say to those of you out there even listening to this radio program and understanding what goes on in the tribulation to know that God often works in remnants and he has preserved a remnant of the hundred 44,000 through the tribulation to accomplish his will and to evangelize the nations. He still operates like that today when we are ordained by God to do a certain purpose, and the Bible says God before us, who can be against us.

So whatever comes your way. If you're in the will of God. You are immortal until God is finished.

And until that purpose is accomplished and my friend Keith preached before that God is the author of the narrative.

He writes the story. He also controls the timetable that we are if we are in him where he is and our destiny is determined in him, not in our own efforts. All we have to do is have faith and belief and be faithful God will take care of us. Much like he preserved the hundred 44,000 said they are preserved in their ministry was the first characteristic about of them also. They are peerless in their ministry. What I mean by peerless they are alone.

There is no one else that is redeemed, except them. The song which the hundred 44,000 saying was not known by anyone else in heaven, not the four living creatures or the 24 elders. They have their own special anointing. They have their own special purpose. No one can sing to the Lord what they can because no one has been sealed and preserved by God as they have been. This is another evidence of their uniqueness. All of us are unique in our calling to God.

But collectively the hundred 44,000 have a specific purpose or certain time, but in this day and time at the church is more competition with each other rather than synergistic partnerships. I think there is enough work to go around where all of us have a specific purpose in God and it is unique. According to our gifting's on which we should not be used for competition rather than we should be in partnerships next characteristic of the hundred 44,000 as they were pure in their ministry. So I just want to read verse four again to reemphasize their pureness.

They are the ones who were not defiled with women for they are versions. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever he goes.

These were redeemed from among man being firstfruits to God and to the Lamb.

The text says that they had not defiled themselves with women, and makes it sound like they are men but then it says they are virgins which it makes it sound like they are women on this statement. Some believe it is about sexual purity, when really is about spiritual purity.

The verse has the same meaning as a second Corinthians 11 chapter 11 verse two. I'm going to turn there to read chapter 11 verse two.
