I have read and heard of the 144,000 News so often. As a Minister, to me the misunderstanding is beyond me. The Bible says in Revelations chap.7 Out of each Tribe of Israel 12,000. The Jews today for the most part having been scattered to the 4 corners of the Earth as prophesied. They have no idea what Tribe of origin they are ,, but God knows. In Rev. 14,,, a sudden shift takes place, as they are seen with The Lamb, Christ. This is not symbolic, but literal. The Book of Revelations is a Book of Symbo!s and Prophesies. But the Best and Simplest way to understand it, is to take it as literal as possible.
Example: Revelations chap.9 Bottomless Pit is opened, 200 million locusts come out of the smoke of Hell. Torment of a scorpion, sting in their tail. Faces like Men,teeth like lions,winged creatures, etc,, And they had power to hurt Men for 5 months, and Men will go crazy and try to commit suicide, but God will not a!low it. I've heard Ministers say the sting represents a bomber plane and their faces mean Men will look and see theirself. Look,, let's get real if you open up Hell, whatever comes out of it is going to be terrifying. This is a literal description in chap.9 of what will be released.
So when we see the 144,000 with Christ suddenly. It represents a snatching, taking away, A Rapture. How else did they suddenly appear in Heaven. This is just one of 7 Raptures. Now,,, how many times have you heard a Preacher say ,only this small number made it out of all The Jews. But look at chap.14 v 4 It says, what,,? These are The Firstfruits, the beginning of a Season of Harvest. What do you often get with Firstfruits,, Here the Bible says the Best of the Best.
Now look at Hebrew chap.11 Paul, said of Israel you hardened your Hearts, conceited and full of Ego, Blind. Hmmmm,,, that doesn't sound like our Modern Church at all. Then Paul said but God will take away your sins, And All Of Israel Shall Be Saved. Part
1) The nos. 12X12000=144000 must be symbolic, it is obvious that they can't be literal.This sort of accuracy can't be real, I guess.
2) In Revelation 14 writes The Lamp stood on mount Zion with the 144000 with Him. Iin verse 2 writes that John heard a voice from heaven. So these 144000 with the Lamp are on earth, not in heaven.
3) Finally my humble opinion....Revelation is written in such a way so that people who are going to live in those days will correlate the things they live with was is written and so they would know exactly what happens. One can not know or find out beforehand what is going to happen. Maybe a few things that can be clear today but still we can't imagine future facts. Example given. If the mark 666 is the Bar Code, as many claim, then who could have guessed that 40-50 years ago since it hadn't been invented yet? Second example. It writes that people who don't get the mark will not be able to sell and buy. We know now with todays technology widely used in mobiles and PCs this is possible, since cash tends to disappear and all payments are done by cards or through the internet. Could you know that 10-15 years ago? I don't think you couldn't. So it is in vane to try and guess tomorrow's events. Guesses are guesses and most often go wrong. The Revelation is written mainly for those who be left behind after rupture (my opinion) so that they know what is going to happen to them and how they can (or cannot) handle things In my opinion instead of doing that we must try to be ready to depart like the five wise virgins before all these start to happen. For those that will stay behind (I hope I will not be included) , well they will know but .. wish them good luck.
