Armageddon... a Lamb stood on it and with him 144,000! (Rev. 14:1)

Text: none Quote: [...] But the authority of the Arabian Shaikh for styling them, as in the anecdote before us, "the armies of the Lord," seems to be the following tradition, handed down by Mahometan authors. Their prophet, say they, forbade that locusts should be killed; for one of them falling on a certain time into his hands, he found written on the creature's wings, " Nehen jenud allah al' akber , &c." "We are the army of the mighty God; we have each ninety and nine eggs, and had we but the hundredth we would consume the world, and all that it contains."

Key Text: And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
