144 Thousand Bible. 1832021 Nothing in the passage leads to interpreting the 144000 as anything but a literal number of Jews12000 taken from every tribe of the children of Israel according to verses 58. Revelation 73 The 144000 will be the first to receive the seal of God. We are not talking about absolute perfection because only God has that. These courageous believers who by the witnesses of the 144 thousand and the two prophets give their lives to Jesus will risk everything to lead others to Christ.
Indeed the 144000 is the limitless great multitude of all whose names are written in the Book of Life and who will inhabit the courts of God for all eternity. John calls the 144000 servants servants the prophets and servants of God in the book of Revelation. Many churches seem to be confused by the 144000 in Revelation. But BOTHof these views are wrong. We are not talking about absolute perfection because only God has that. Because whether there are 144 thousand or 144 million the qualifications to be part of that number remains the same.
John states And I looked and I beheld the Lamb standing on Mount Sion and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand having His Fathers name written on their foreheads they obey him and have His spirit in them.
Then I looked and behold on Mount Zion stood the Lamb and with him 144000 who had his name and his Fathers name written on their foreheads. 1832021 Nothing in the passage leads to interpreting the 144000 as anything but a literal number of Jews12000 taken from every tribe of the children of Israel according to verses 58. The Lamb and the 144000. We are not talking about absolute perfection because only God has that. One belief is that the 144000 are literal Jews. Many will be martyred for their faith Revelation 69-11 Revelation 1310 but their very willingness.
