No, the 144,000 will not limit their ministry to Israel; they will minister to the whole world.
Les Feldick teaches that although these 144,000 are sealed from the tribes of Israel, they will be commissioned to encircle the globe with the gospel of the kingdom. Scripture records a great multitude from every nation, kindred, people, and tongue standing before the throne after they are sealed. Their message that the King is coming goes out to the whole world, not just Israel.
Revelation 7:9 — Shows the worldwide multitude from all nations that appears after the 144,000 are sealed, demonstrating their ministry reaches beyond Israel.
Revelation 7:4 — Identifies the 144,000 as sealed from all the tribes of Israel, confirming their Jewish origin while not limiting their mission.
Revelation 7:4 says, 'And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.' So the sealed ones come from the tribes of Israel. Immediately after this, Revelation 7:9 says, '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;' The elder then says in Revelation 7:13-14, 'These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.' Thus the biblical record places a countless multitude from every nation right after the sealing of the 144,000.
Les Feldick teaches that the 144,000 are young Jewish men sealed at the start of the tribulation after the ministry of the two witnesses in Jerusalem (Clips 3, 4). They will not remain in Israel — they will 'encircle the globe' and 'circumvent the globe' during the seven years (Clips 0, 1, 7). Their message will be the gospel of the kingdom, the announcement that the King is coming and the kingdom is at hand, not the gospel of grace (Clips 2, 4, 6, 7). Les sees the great multitude of Revelation 7:9 as the result of their worldwide ministry (Clips 1, 5). They will minister to Gentile nations (Clip 2), and they will do so miraculously, being Spirit-sent and speaking every language without study (Clips 1, 5).
Les Feldick teaches that the 144,000 will not preach the gospel of grace as we know it today. Instead, they will revert to the gospel of the kingdom, the same message proclaimed by Christ and the Twelve: 'the kingdom of heaven is at hand.' Their basic message will be that the King is coming and the kingdom is at hand (Clips 0, 2, 4, 6, 7). With the age of grace ended and the church gone, there will no longer be an invitation to join a local congregation (Clip 0).
Scripture records that after the 144,000 are sealed, John sees a great multitude which no man could number, from all nations, kindreds, people, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb (Revelation 7:9). The elder identifies them as those who came out of the great tribulation and washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb (Revelation 7:13-14). Les Feldick teaches that this worldwide multitude is the result of the 144,000 Jewish men encircling the globe (Clips 1, 5).
Les Feldick teaches that the 144,000 are young Jewish men, sealed from all the tribes of the children of Israel, as described in Revelation 7:4. He clarifies that these are not a cult's claim to the number; they are Jews. He also distinguishes them from a remnant group, saying, 'They're not this remnant. This is a totally different group' (Clip 4). Their sealing takes place shortly after the tribulation begins, following the ministry of God's two witnesses in Jerusalem (Clip 3).
Global Commission of the 144,000
Les teaches that God seals and commissions 144,000 young Jewish men to circumvent the globe with the gospel of the kingdom, not the gospel of grace.
Miraculous Language Ability and the Great Multitude
Les says the 144,000 will speak every language without study and encircle the globe; he shows the great multitude of Revelation 7 is the result of their ministry.
Ministry to the Gentile Nations
Les explicitly says the 144,000 will carry the message of the coming King to the whole world, every tribe and tongue and nation, ministering to the Gentiles.
The Sealed Jewish Identity
Les identifies the 144,000 as Jews sealed from all the tribes of Israel, rejecting cult claims about who they are.
The Gospel of the Kingdom Defined
Les says the 144,000 take the gospel of the kingdom, the same message Jesus preached: the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
The Worldwide Result of Their Sealing
Les connects the sealing of the 144,000 to the countless multitude from all nations in Revelation 7:9 and describes them as Spirit-sent around the globe.
Proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom
Les explains the 144,000 preach the gospel of the kingdom because the King is coming in less than seven years, not the gospel of grace.
Returning to the Kingdom Message
Les notes the 144,000 will again proclaim the message John the Baptist, Christ, and the Twelve preached: the gospel of the kingdom, meaning the King is coming.
Revelation 7:4: And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
Shows the 144,000 are sealed from the tribes of Israel.
Revelation 7:9: 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;
Shows the worldwide multitude that results after the sealing of the 144,000.
Revelation 7:13-14: And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
Identifies the worldwide multitude as those who came out of the great tribulation.
Matthew 4:17: From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Summarizes the gospel of the kingdom message that Les says the 144,000 will preach.
No. Les Feldick teaches that the 144,000 will not proclaim the gospel of grace as we know it. Instead, they will preach the gospel of the kingdom, the message that the King is coming and the kingdom of heaven is at hand (Clips 0, 6, 7).
Les Feldick says they will be Spirit-sent rather than buying airline tickets. He also teaches they will miraculously know the language of every tribe and dialect, so they will not need six months of language study (Clips 1, 5).
Yes. Les Feldick says they are young Jewish men sealed from all the tribes of the children of Israel, as stated in Revelation 7:4. He also rejects cult claims that these are not Jews (Clip 3).
