The Remnant Of Her Seed

“Many will be purified and made white and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.” (Daniel 12:10)

This prime group of witness for Christ their Messiah will be performing their service to the Lord in the toughest and most crucial environment ever when Satan and his angels will be cast into the earth as he will be inflicting his “great wrath” (Revelation 12:12) upon the people of God.

This will be the most intense persecution upon the faithful ever:

“For then shall be great tribulation such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no nor ever shall be.” (Matthew 24:21)

Martyrdom as described in the Daniel 11 passage above will be the norm rather than the exception as they “will love not their lives unto the death” (Revelation 12:11) demonstrating their willing self-sacrifice for the cause of the Lord Jesus Christ.

These words are spoken to the martyrs of that day after they asked “how long” inquiring of when God’s judgment would come:

“And it was said unto them that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.” (Revelation 6:11)

As in all things concerning His children, God is in complete control. He has predetermined the exact number of martyrs during the Great Tribulation until the fulfillment of that segment of His plan is accomplished and the exact amount of His people remain to carry on His testimony during the Day of the Lord.

It is from this very group of faithful Jews, “which keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ” that those “servants of our God” in Revelation 7:3-8, the 144 Thousand sons of Israel, will finally come forth to serve the Lord.

Sixteen descriptive characteristics of “the remnant of her seed” are indicated in Daniel 11, 12 and Revelation 12:

1. They shall know their God (Daniel 11:32).

2. They shall be strong (Daniel 11:32).

3. They shall do exploits (Daniel 11:32).

4. They shall understand (Daniel 11:33).

5. They shall instruct many (Daniel 11:33).

6. They shall fall by the sword, and by flame, and by captivity, and by spoil many days (Daniel 11:33).

7. They shall be tried (Daniel 11:35).

8. They shall be purified through trials and made pure/white (Daniel 11:35, 12:10).

9. They shall be wise (Daniel 12:3).

10. They shall shine as the brightness of the firmament (Daniel 12:3)

11. They shall turn many to righteousness (Daniel 12:3).

12. They shall shine as the stars forever and ever (Daniel 12:3).

13. They shall overcome the Devil by the Blood of the Lamb and word of their testimony (Revelation 12:11)

14. They shall love not their lives unto the death (Revelation 12:11)

15. They shall keep the commandments of God (Revelation 12:17b)

16. They shall have the testimony of Jesus Christ (Revelation 12:17b)

This group called “the remnant of her seed” will continue their Redemption Ministry as priests unto God unto those who will be redeemed in the last half the 70th Week (Matthew 24:15-28) and the Day of the Lord’s seven trumpet judgments (Revelation 8-11).
