Revelation 14:1-5

In Revelation 14:1-5 we see the opposite of the mark of the beast. Whereas many will receive the mark of the beast in order to receive advantages in this life, those who receive the seal of God, with God’s name written on their foreheads, will receive advantages in the life to come. This is what happens to the 144,000, a figure for all the elect. They are blessed in the presence of God singing praises to the lamb who is enthroned on Zion.
