THE STORY OF THE SEER OF PATMOS

                                             Stephen N. Haskell


                 “Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at
                                              hand” Revelation 22:10.



               they?” He answers his own question, saying,


               “These  are  they  which  came  out  of  great



               tribulation, and have washed their robes and


               made them white in the blood of the Lamb.”


               The  Saviour  Himself  was  made  perfect


               through suffering, and, as a man, gained the


               place on the throne beside the Father; because


               He overcame. The life of the one hundred and


               forty-four  thousand  is  pictured  in  the


               experiences of the apostles who lived nearest


               to  the  Saviour  when  He  was  upon  earth.


               Because  they  have  lived  as  He  lived,  and


               passed through the trials which He endured,


               and  Satan  has  been  forced  to  acknowledge


               that he found none of his own nature in them,


               “therefore are they before the throne of God,


               and serve Him day and  night in His temple:
