The number 144,000 is 12 x 12 x 1,000, symbolizing completeness - all God's followers will be brought safely to him, not one will be overlooked or forgotten. God seals these believers either by withdrawing them from the earth (this is called the Rapture) or by giving them special strength and courage to make it through this time of great persecution. If they were to endure persecution, the seal would not necessarily guarantee protection from physical harm - many will die (see Rev 6:11) - but God will protect them from spiritual harm. No matter what happens, they will be brought to their reward of eternal life. Their destiny is secure. These beleivers will not fall away from God even in intense persecution. | ||||||

Thank you for getting back to me. I'm still not sure what you have answered. You say "all" God's followers, but what is special about the 144,000? | ||||||

The 144,000 Jews / Israelites who are sealed in Revelation 7:4-8 are sealed for the specific purpose of being “evangelists” during the Tribulation period. The 144,000 is not a limit to how many people will be saved, but rather is just a select group of Jewish believers called to proclaim God’s message during the end times. There will be perhaps millions of other converts during the Tribulation, most of them a result of the 144,000’s ministry. |

Where in the book of Revelation does it say anything about the 144,00 being 'sealed for the specific purpose of being “evangelists” during the Tribulation period'? It says no such thing. In the King James Version of the Bible not once is there any mention of the word evangelist(s) in the book of Revelation. | ||||||

Where in Revelation 7, Revelation 14, or anywhere else in the Bible does it SAY the 144,000 are "preachers of the Christian gospel"? Please give us the book, chapter and verse where it SAYS this in the Bible. 'A common assumption of pretribulationists is that there will be 144,000 Jewish evangelists traversing the world in the 70th Week of Daniel. In the New Testament, there are only two places where this group is mentioned: Revelation 7 and 14. ...If we adhere to the principles of hermeneutics where we should take Scripture at face-value and in context, there is no indication that there is a revival during the 70th Week of Daniel nor are the144,000 bringing thousands to Christ during the 70th Week of Daniel.' ____________________ www.solagroup.org/articles/ endtimes/et_0007.html |
