------- "Saints" ("144000")

"And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of
the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to
whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, 3: Saying, Hurt not
the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the
servants of our God in their foreheads. 4: And I heard the number of
them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and
four thousand ... " (Rev. 7:2-4)

"And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an
hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in
their foreheads. ... 3: And they sung as it were a new song before the
throne, ... : and no man could learn that song but the hundred and
forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. 4: These
are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These
are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were
redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the
Lamb. 5: And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without
fault before the throne of God." (Revelation 14:1-5)

* Mount Zion in "New Jerusalem"
There is (will be) not presence of God in earthly Jerusalem anymore.
(People will meet the Lord in the air, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17)

"And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept
arose, 53: And came out of the graves after his (Jesus) resurrection,
and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many." (Matthew
27:52-53)

"And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer;
and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with
the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the
throne. 4: And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of
the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.

5: And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar,
and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and
lightnings, and an earthquake." (Rev. 8:3-5)

*** Disasters of Great Tribulation will start after "all saints"
redeemed from earth and go to heaven (holy city). (Saints are in heaven
when God command to start the judgment, "censer filled with fire and
cast into the earth")

"And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the
dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward
unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear
thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the
earth.
19: And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in
his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and
voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail." (Rev.
11:18-19)

"And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from
his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven
plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled." (Rev. 15:8)

---------------- Second Coming with all Saints (Start of 1000 years)

God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all
his saints." (1 Thessalonians 3:13)

"And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying,
Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, 15: To
execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among
them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and
of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against
him." (Jude 1:14-15)

"And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of
the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye
fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah:
and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee. "
(Zechariah 14:5)

"The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a
witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory
that shall be revealed:" (1 Peter 5:1)

"And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat
upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth
judge and make war. 12: His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his
head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but
he himself. 13: And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and
his name is called The Word of God.

14: And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses,
clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

15: And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should
smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he
treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God."
(Rev. 19:11-15)

"But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess
the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever." (Daniel 7:18)

"I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed
against them; 22: Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was
given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints
possessed the kingdom." (Daniel 7:21-22)

"And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under
the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the
most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions
shall serve and obey him." (Daniel 7:27)

"And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto
them: ... " (Revelation 20:4)

* "them" = "saints" (see Daniel 7:22)

"A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand
thousands ministered unto him, ... " (Daniel 7:10)

=======================

" ... and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of
Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast,
neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads,
or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand
years. 5: But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand
years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6: Blessed and
holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second
death hath no power, ... " (Revelation 20:4-6)

"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."
(Rev. 7:9-10)

"... and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment
was set, and the books were opened. " (Daniel 7:10)

"And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then
shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of
man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31: And
he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they
shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of
heaven to the other. (Matthew 24:30-31)

"And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that
had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his
mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass,
having the harps of God. 3: And they sing the song of Moses the servant
of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy
works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of
saints. 4: Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for
thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee;
for thy judgments are made manifest." (Rev. 15:2-4)
