4.3.2.20 - #20 - Saints
At the time of the end, the saints consist of Jewish believers who are hidden in the wilderness (see commentary on Revelation 12:6), the 144,000 sealed from the Jewish tribes (see commentary on Revelation 7:4 and Revelation 12:17), and other Jews and Gentiles who come to faith after the rapture of the church. These saints will live in the midst of a time of intense persecution. Many will be martyred (Rev. [[6:9-10|bible.87.6.9-87.6.10]]+; [[7:14|bible.87.7.14]]+; [[12:11|bible.87.12.11]]+; [[13:7|bible.87.13.7]]+; [[20:4|bible.87.20.4]]+). They will be persecuted by the little horn [#25-#20] (Dan. [[7:21|bible.27.7.21]], [[25|bible.27.7.25]]), the Harlot [#21-#20] (Rev. [[17:6|bible.87.17.6]]+; [[19:2|bible.87.19.2]]+), the Beast [#16-#20] (Rev. [[13:7|bible.87.13.7]]+), and the image of the Beast [#19-#20] (Rev. [[13:15|bible.87.13.15]]+). The church will not be among these saints. See commentary on Revelation 3:10. See Rapture. See Symbols of Kingdoms.
