Who Are The Saved?

(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.

Are they the only ones saved? Not so…

Rev 7:9-10  After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;  (10)  And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

And yet there’s still more…

Rev 7:13-15  And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?  (14)  And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.  (15)  Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.

And so it is up to you to which category you would like to fall. But then the first category is closed. It sealed and so no one can add to it and no one can take away from it. Therefore choose between the second and the third. Apparently this generation belongs to the second.

The Calvinists will have to reckon with the third because verse 14 says, it is not God who washes them but they themselves, by their choice have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
