In Part Fourteen, we took a brief look at the 144,000 evangelists in Revelation chapter 7 who had a special seal placed on them by God.

Chronology of the Seals, Part Fourteen, Revelation 7
At the conclusion of the 13th installment of this series, we ended by saying that Jesus warned the disciples, and by extension all of us, that the end of the age would come with a sudden, unexpected, cataclysmic destruction.
