Q:St John quotes in Ch.9 another number which he heard and what does 200 thousand thousand signify?
A:The seven seals that the Lamb broke sequentially in Ch.6 spoken the wrath of the Lamb revealed from heaven, " against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness."(Ro.1:18) The fourth horsemen was invested with power,"And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth."(6:8) The command number Four signified Christ the word become flesh. He is the Son who in trinity serves as the soul. In trespass against his soul, "and he shall recompense his trespass with the principal thereof, and add unto it the fifth part thereof, and give it unto him against whom he hath trespassed."(Nu.5:7). It is in the sense the prodigal son confessed his sin." Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,"( Luke 15:18) 20x10x1000x1000.
The breaking open seven seals is condemnation meted out to the disbelieving. Death into the world because of sin and Hell followed. This is what the fifth angel sounds. (9:1). Locust let loose are intended to torment those who do not have 'the seal of God in their foreheads.' These locusts are given "power, as the scorpions of the earth have power." Similarly when the sixth angel sounds " and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,"(Re.9:13) 144,000 belonged to the group redeemed from the furnace,"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."(Re.15:2)
