The document discusses two groups of God's people that are mentioned in Revelation: 1) The 144,000 who meet Christ alive on Mount Zion and are sealed to be protected from tribulations. 2) The great multitude that comes out of great tribulation, who are resurrected to stand before the throne of God. Both groups ultimately meet together with Christ, with the resurrected rising first followed by those alive being caught up. The story of Daniel and his friends is presented as a foreshadowing of these two groups, with Daniel representing the 144,000 who remain faithful until the end, and his friends representing the great multitude who face tribulation but are saved.

And the king spoke to Ashpenaz the master of his
eunuchs, that he should bring [certain] of the children of
Israel, and of the king's seed, and of the princes;

Children in whom [was] no blemish, but of good
appearance, and skillful in all wisdom, and intelligent in
knowledge, and understanding science, and such as [had]
ability in them to stand in the king's palace, and whom they
might teach the learning and the language of the

10. 8
But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile
himself with the portion of the king's food, nor with the wine
which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the
eunuchs that he might not defile himself. 9
Now God had
brought Daniel into favour and compassion with the prince
of the eunuchs. 10
And the prince of the eunuchs said to
Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed your
food and your drink: for why should he see your faces
worse looking than the children who are of your age? then
shall ye make me endanger my head to the king. 11
Then
said Daniel to Melzar, whom the prince of the eunuchs had
set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, 12
Test thy
servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us
vegetables to eat, and water to drink.

11. 13
Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee,
and the countenance of the children that eat of the portion
of the king's food: and as thou seest, deal with thy servants.
14
So he consented to them in this matter, and tried them
ten days. 15
And at the end of ten days their countenances
appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children who
ate the portion of the king's food. 16
Thus Melzar took away
the portion of their food, and the wine that they should
drink; and gave them vegetables.
17
As for these four children, God gave them knowledge
and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had
understanding in all visions and dreams.

talked with them; and among them all was found none like
Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore they
stood before the king. 20
And in all matters of wisdom and
understanding, that the king enquired of them, he found
them ten times better than all the magicians and
astrologers that were in all his realm. {wisdom...: Heb.

But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren,
concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even
as others which have no hope. 14
For if we believe that
Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep
in Jesus will God bring with him. 15
For this we say unto
you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and
remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them
which are asleep. 16
For the Lord himself shall descend
from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel,
and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise
first: 17
Then we which are alive and remain shall be
caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the
Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
