[§88] The 144,000 Prepare to Rule as Kings and Priests

This podcast explains in detail the identity and meaning (both symbolic and actual) of the 144,000 Servants identified in John's vision in Revelation 7:4-8. Much of this podcast explains Joseph Smith's inspired explanation of them found in Doctrine & Covenants 77:11, as high priests in the patriarchal order of the priesthood, who are ordained or authorized to bring as many people as will come to the status of exaltation in the Church of the Firstborn. They are kings and priests together with their wives as queens and priestesses who will stand with Christ on mount Zion at the time of the Second Coming and then rule and reign with him over the political and ecclesiastical kingdoms of the house of Israel during the millennium and beyond.
