Revelation 7:3-4, 9-10, 13-17
3 Do not hurt the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God upon their brows.
4 And I heard the number of those who were sealed: and it was a hundred and forty and four thousand, of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
9 After these things, I beheld, and lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of every nation and people, and kindred and tongue, stood before the throne, and in the presence of the Lamb, clothed with white robes and with palms in their hands;
10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God, who sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb
13 And one of the elders answered and said to me, Who are these who are arrayed in white robes? And from whence did they come?
14 And I said to him, My LORD, you know. And he said to me, These are those who came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple; and he who sits on the throne shall shelter them.
16 They shall hunger no more; neither thirst anymore; neither shall they be stricken by the sun, nor by the heat.
17 For the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne shall shepherd them, and shall lead them to fountains of living water. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes

3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

Revelation 14
1 And I looked, and, lo, the Lamb stood on mount Sion, and with him a hundred forty and four thousand in number, having the name of his Father written on their brows. Rev 14:1 ___
2 Then I heard a voice from heaven, as the sound of many waters, and as the sound of a great thunder: and the voice I heard was as the music of many harpists playing on their harps:
3 And they sang a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts and the elders: and no man was able to learn that song, except the hundred forty and four thousand who were redeemed from the earth.
4 These are those who were not defiled with women for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wheresoever he goes. These were redeemed by Jesus, from among men, to be the first fruits to God and to the Lamb.
5 And in their mouth was found no deceit: for they are without fault.
6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel, to preach to those who dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
7 Saying, with a loud voice, Serve God and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment has come: and worship him who made heaven and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
8 And another angel, a second followed him, saying, Babylon has fallen, that great city, which made all nations drink of the wine of the passion of her whoredom.
9 Then another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark on his brow, or on his hand,
10 He also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mixed with bitterness in the cup of his anger; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and before the throne:
11 And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever: and those who worship the beast and his image will have no rest day or night.
12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying, Write, Blessed are the dead who die in the LORD from henceforth: Yes, says the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours, for their works will follow them.
14 And I looked, and lo, I saw a white cloud, and upon the cloud sat one resembling the Son of man, having on his head a crown of gold, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
15 And another angel came out of the temple, and after he cried with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud,
16 He thrust his sickle upon the earth; and the earth was harvested.
17 And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven; and he also had a sharp sickle.
18 Then out from the altar came another angel, who had power over fire; and cried with a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vineyards of the earth, for her grapes are fully ripe.
19 And the angel thrust his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vineyards of the earth, and cast the grapes into the winepress of the wrath of the great God.
20 And the winepress was trodden until the juice which came out reached even to the horse bridles, and the circumference of the winepress was a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

Revelation 14:1
1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads.

Matthew 25 – Parable of ten virgins
1 Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went out to greet the bridegroom and the bride.
2 Five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
3 And the foolish ones took their lamps, but took no oil with them.
4 But the wise ones took oil in the vessels with their lamps.
5 As the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept.
6 And at midnight there was a cry, Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to greet him.
7 Then all the virgins got up and fixed their lamps.
8 And the foolish ones said to the wise ones, Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.
9 Then the wise ones answered and said, Why, there would not be enough for us and for you; go to those who sell and buy for yourselves.
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and those who were ready entered with him into the wedding house, and the door was locked.
11 Afterward the other virgins also came and said, Our lord, our lord, open to us.
12 But he answered and said to them, Truly I say to you, I do not know you.
13 Be alert, therefore, for you do not know, that day nor the hour.
14 It is just like a man who went on a journey, who called his servants and put his wealth in their charge.

11 Hereafter I am not in the world, but these are in the world; and I am coming to you. O holy Father, protect them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are.

14 And he took the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and struck the waters and said, O LORD, the God of my lord Elijah! And when he also had struck the waters of the Jordan, they parted half hither and half thither; and Elisha went over.

Tithes and offering (to add more details)

Location – Treasury place

A lot of churches emphasize the importance of tithing and so aggressive in collecting their attendees or members tithes and offering. But in the bible we can see that there are several occasions where Christ sat near the treasury place while staying in the temple or teaching at the temple. From the verses in the bible we can see that the treasury has a designated place, and bags or baskets are not ushered to collect money, tithes or offering from the temple-goers which is the common practice in many churches nowadays.

John 8:1-20 | George Lamsa Translation
2 And in the morning he came again to the temple, and all the people were coming to him; and he sat down and taught them.
3 Then the scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who was caught in adultery; and they made her to stand in the midst.
4 They said to him, Teacher, this woman was caught openly in the act of adultery.
5 Now in the law of Moses it is commanded that women such as these should be stoned; but what do you say?
6 They said this to tempt him, that they might have a cause to accuse him. While Jesus was bent down, he was writing on the ground.
7 When they were through questioning him, he straightened himself up and said to them, He who is among you without sin, let him first throw a stone at her.
8 And again as he bent down, he wrote on the ground.
9 And when they heard it, they left one by one, beginning with the elders; and the man woman was left alone in the midst.
10 When Jesus straightened himself up, he said to the woman, Where are they?
11 did no henceforth, do not sin again.
12 Again Jesus spoke to them and said, I am the light of the world; he who follows me shall not walk in darkness, but he shall find for himself the light of life.
13 The Pharisees said to him, You testify concerning yourself; your testimony is not true.
14 Jesus answered and said to them, Even though I testify concerning myself, my testimony is true, because I know whence I came and whither I go; but you do not know whence I came, or whither I go.
15 You judge according to the flesh; but I judge no man.
16 And if I should judge, my judgment is true; because I am not doing it alone, but I and my Father who sent me.
17 And it is written in your own law, that the testimony of two men is true.
18 I testify concerning myself, and my Father who sent me testifies concerning me.
19 They said to him, Where is your Father? Jesus answered and said to them, You know neither me, nor my Father; if you knew me, you would know my Father also.
20These words he spoke in the treasury, while he taught in the temple; and no man arrested him, for his time had not yet come.

Mark 12:41 | George Lamsa Translation
41 And when Jesus sat towards the treasury, he watched how the people cast their alms into the treasury; and many rich men were casting in a great deal.

43 And Jesus called his disciples, and said to them, Truly I say to you, that this poor widow has cast in the treasury more than all the men who are casting;
44 For all of them cast of their abundance; but she of her poverty cast everything she had, even all of her possessions

Luke 21:1-4 | George Lamsa Translation

4 For all these cast into the house of the offerings of God of their abundance; but she of her poverty cast in everything she had earned.

Mark 5:25-34 | George Lamsa Translation
25 And there was a woman who had had the hemorrhage for twelve years,
26 Who had suffered much at the hands of many doctors, and had spent everything she had, and was not helped at all, but rather became worse.

28 For she said, If I can only touch his cloak, I will live.

47 When the woman saw that she could not deceive him, she came trembling, and fell down and worshipped him; and she said in the presence of all the people for what purpose she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
48 Jesus said to her, Have courage, my daughter; your faith has healed you; go in peace.

2. Paul’s garment

Acts 19:11-20 | George Lamsa Translation
11 And God wrought great miracles by the hands of Paul:
12 So that even when, of the clothes on his body, pieces of garments were brought and laid upon the sick, diseases were cured, and even the insane were restored.
13 Now certain Jews, who went about exorcising evil spirits, invoked the name of our LORD Jesus over those who were possessed, saying, We adjure you in the name of Jesus whom Paul preaches.
14 And there were seven sons of one Sce’va, a Jew, and chief of the priests, who did this.
15 And the insane man answered and said to them, Jesus I recognize and Paul I know; but who are you?
16 Then the insane man leaped on them, and overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
17 And this became known to all the Jews and Arameans (Syrians) who dwelt at Eph’esus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of our LORD Jesus Christ was magnified.
18 And many of them that believed came, and told their faults, and confessed what they had done.
19 Many magicians also gathered together their books and brought them and burned them before the presence of the people; and they counted the price of them, and it amounted to fifty thousand pieces of silver.
20 So mightily grew the faith of God and greatly increased in numbers.

2 Kings 2:8-15 | George Lamsa Translation
8 Then Elijah took his mantle and wrapped it together and struck the waters of the Jordan, and they were divided half hither and half thither, so that they two crossed on dry ground.
9 And when they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, Ask what I shall do for you before I am taken away from you. And Elisha said, Let a double portion of your spirit be upon me.
10 And he said, You have asked too much; nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so to you; but if not, it shall not be so.
11 And it came to pass, as they still went on and talked, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire and horses of fire, and separated the two; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
12 And Elisha saw it and he cried, saying, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more; and he took hold of his own clothes and tore them in two pieces.
13 Then he took up the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and went back and stood by the bank of the Jordan;
14 And he took the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and struck the waters and said, O LORD, the God of my lord Elijah! And when he also had struck the waters of the Jordan, they parted half hither and half thither; and Elisha went over.
15 And when the sons of the prophets who came to watch at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.
