As we go through revelation we tend to draw little denominational lines about how we view things, how we interpret things etc. the first 5 verses of Revelation chapter 14 are very intimate. It doesn’t matter who we think these saints are who are gathered on Mount Zion with the lamb. What matters is that we long to have the disposition thy had while they were on earth. Verse 4-5 tells us that they were purchased from the earth as firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. What does that mean? First fruits are the early ripened fruit that had to be picked before the harvest. The farmer and his workers would take these first fruits in their own home and enjoy them while they waited for the Big harvest. This was an early enjoyment. How did the Saints get there on Mount Zion or how did they become first fruits? They were virgins unto the Lamb. They weren’t perfect but at some point in time on earth they decided they were all in for the Lamb. They didn’t want anything else but Jesus. Where are saints like this on the earth today? Where are believers who want nothing, nothing of this world to fill in their spare time.? That just want to spend time with Jesus? They don’t even care about the rapture so much. They’re spending time seeing Jesus every day! They’re not debating views or varied interpretations. They’re enjoying the Lamb constantly. Where are these saints? They are out there. The Lord of the harvest see them. I am so convicted after looking at these five verses I don’t want anything of the world. I don’t know how I can stop it from coming in my life but I just say “Lord today make me willing to be such a virgin for you. I don’t care so much about when the rapture occurs. I just want to see you today. “Amen
