‏ Revelation of John 14:4

Verse 4. These are they which were not defiled with women] They are pure from idolatry, and are presented as unspotted virgins to their Lord and Saviour Christ. See 2Co 11:2. There may be an allusion here to the Israelites committing idolatry, through the means of their criminal connection with the Midianitish women. See Nu 25:1-4; 31:16.

Follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth] They go through good and through evil report, bear his reproach, and love not their lives even to the death.

The first fruits unto God] The reference appears to be to those Jews who were the first converts to Christianity.
