AMPLIFIED 2015 | Revelation 14:4 These are the ones who have not been defiled [by relations] with women, for they are celibate. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes.

Bible Question: I read Rev14:1-5 talking about 144,000 and Rev7:9 talking about the great multitude from defferend tribes and nations,and my question is, are they all going to heaven? or 144,000 are going to some special place in heaven where the multitude in Rev 7:9, can not go there? I need more opinion specialy from jesusman, and anyone who can help me. |
Bible Answer: Greetings Frank Asante! Here's some good quotes that may help to answer your questions a little bit better.. "14:4 ... first fruits. The salvation of the 144,000 will precede the salvation of a larger group of Israelites, who will turn to the Lord at the end of the Tribulation (cf. Isaiah 2:3; Romans 11:15)." (1) Yes, I believe that they will all (both the 144,000 and the great multitude in Rev. 7:9) go to heaven. "... First fruits, Ex. 23:19, James 1:18" (2) "... first fruits. See Lev. 23:9-14. The word is used figuratively in the NT for the first coverts in an area (Rom. 16:5) and the first to rise from the dead (1 Cor. 15:20). In Revelation believers are considered as a choice offering to God and the Lamb."
