How are the learners of this song described?

Revelation 14:4 (ESV)

4 It is these who have not defiled themselves with women, for they are virgins. It is these who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These have been redeemed from mankind as firstfruits for God and the Lamb,

John gives us four descriptive phrases that show us characteristics of these learners. They

  1. have not defiled themselves with women

  2. follow the Lamb

  3. were redeemed from mankind

  4. are free of lies.


Each descriptor has an additional phrase to clarify: regarding 1., they are virgins; 2., where he goes; 3., firstfruits; 4., they are blameless.
