The 144,000

The 144,000 are the Elect.  They are the prophets, and martyrs, and saints.  They are the bride of the Bridegroom and the daughter of Zion.   They are the twelve tribes by 12,000 and the tribe of Judah.   They are the creature with four heads.  They are foundation of the Temple and they are blameless.

On that day, the Son of Man shall rise in the clouds, the heavenly hosts shall give praises of thanksgiving, and the Elect of mankind shall be raised. For the archangels shall travel from the east to the west, from the north to the south, to the corners of the earth, and on chariots raise His Elect to the heavens. For the heavenly host “waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God.” (Romans 8:19) For His Elect are one hundred and forty-four thousand, His holy ones slain for the kingdom of God. And those that are sealed are one hundred and forty-four thousand, for these are the twelve tribes by twelve thousand. (Revelation 7:4-8) And these are the bride of the Bridegroom, and these are the daughters of Zion. And “these have been purchased from among men as first fruits to God and to the Lamb. And no lie was found in their mouth; they are blameless.”(Revelation 14:1-5) And behold the Lord comes with the 144 thousand. For “the first will be last and the last will be first”, for the Lord comes with many thousands of His holy ones (hh1). “It was also about these men that Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, ‘Behold, the Lord came with many thousands of His holy ones, to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their ungodly deeds which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.” (Jude 1:14-15)
