Who are the 144,000?
The 144,000--what a mysterious, unique group of people they are! For centuries, people in and out of God's church have wondered and argued about who they are. However, when we
look at what the Bible says about them, their identity becomes clear. The Bible explains itself!
The 144,000 have very special qualities; Revelation 7 and 14 mention them as highly favored of God. They:
- Are sealed by an angel of God
- Are specially selected from the tribes of Israel
- Stand on Mount Zion with "a Lamb"
- Have the Father's name written on their foreheads
- Sing a new song no one else can sing
- Are redeemed from the earth
- Are called "virgins"
- Are not defiled with women (false churches)
- Are considered the firstfruits of God's harvest
- Are guileless and without fault
What a select group of people! Who are they? Is it possible you could be one of them? Are they all that will be saved or are there others? Will they be in the first resurrection? If so, will there be any others?
