Bible Question: who is the 144,000 and what will they do? |
Bible Answer: Greetings angelabee! The 144,000 that are spoken of in Revelation 14:1 are evidently the same group that is spoken of in Revelation 7:4, who are from the 12 tribes of Israel (12,000 each) who were protected (Rev. 14:4) in order to perform a service for God (possibly evangelism [Rev. 7:9-17]) during the last days. It is interesting to note that the tribe of Dan is not included. The 144,000 will be resurrected first (Rev. 7:4; Zech. 12:10). Blessings to you, Makarios |
