“Then I looked, and behold, on Mount Zion stood the Lamb, and with Him 144,000 who had His name and His Father’s name written on their foreheads. And I heard a voice from heaven like the roar of many waters and like the sound of loud thunder. The voice I heard was like the sound of harpists playing on their harps, and THEY WERE SINGING A NEW SONG before the throne and before the four living creatures and before the elders. No one could learn that song except THE 144,000 (12,000 from each of the 12 tribes of Israel) WHO HAD BEEN REDEEMED FROM THE EARTH. It is these who have NOT DEFILED THEMSELVES WITH WOMEN, FOR THEY ARE VIRGINS. It is these who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These have BEEN REDEEMED FROM MANKIND AS FIRSTFRUITS FOR GOD AND THE LAMB, and in their mouth no lie was found, for they are blameless.” (Revelation 14:1-5)
These verses further describe the 144,000 as totally honest and blameless. They stood resolutely against the deception of the age that reached its peak in the words and actions of the false prophet. Whereas the false prophet deceived the masses by his wonders, the 144,000 faithfully represented Jesus, who is the truth (John 14:6). These faithful followers of the Lamb are also depicted as “blameless.” The word translated “blameless“ is the Greek amōmoi, which describes an animal that has passed inspection and is qualified to be a sacrifice because it has no defect. The apostle Peter described Jesus as having redeemed us with his blood, “like that of a lamb without blemish or spot” (1 Peter 1:19). Although the 144,000 are not sinless, they cannot be rightfully accused of any lies or wrongdoing. We, too, ought to live in such a way that no one will be able to accuse us of bad speech or evil deeds.
