Although the "pastors" have corrupted the thinking of many with false teachings, I must write to you concerning the 144,000 chosen ones of apocalypse. For those who have not yet understood that the time of Israel (the last week fixed on Israel) will only resume when the time of the Church is fulfilled, I invite you to read the other teachings concerning Bible prophecy.
I am going to be direct with you by saying that the 144,000 are about the Church that will be raptured, and I will try to explain it:
Revelation 14:1 Then I looked, and behold, the Lamb stood on Mount Zion, and with him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having his Father`s name written on their foreheads. 2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and the voice of a great thunder, and I heard a voice of harpers touching with their harps 3 They sang as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four animals, and before the elders; and no one could learn the song but the one hundred forty-four thousand, who were bought out of the earth. 4 These are they who have not defiled themselves with women; for they are virgins. These are they who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These are the ones who were bought from among men, as firstfruits for God and for the Lamb. 5 There was no deceit found in their mouths, for they are without blemish before the throne of God.
In this passage we understand that the 144,000 are those who will meet with the Lord on Mount Zion and sing a new song that no one else will know. If we look at the scriptures, we can see that they will be with the Lord, on Mount Zion (at the top), before the Lord returns to the earth to deliver the people of Israel, judge the nations, and reign for 1000 years. It is from this very place (Zion) that the Lord will return to the earth accompanied by many thousands of his saints:
Romans 11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved, as it is written: The Deliverer shall come out of Zion, and shall put away all unrighteousness from Jacob; 27 And this shall be my covenant with them, when I shall blot out their sins.
Obadiah 1:21 Deliverers shall come up to mount Zion, to judge the mountain of Esau: and the kingdom shall be the Lord's.
Jude 1:14 And Enoch, the seventh man from Adam, prophesied of them, saying, 15 Behold, the Lord cometh with thousands of his saints to execute judgment on all, and to convince all that are ungodly of all their ungodly deeds which they have done, and of all their ungodly things which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
We also see that the 144,000 will have the Father's name written on their foreheads. This is the promise Jesus made to the church in Philadelphia, which represents the perfect church, the one that will be raptured:
Revelation 3:12 He that overcometh, him will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, even the new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven, from my God, and my new name.
Then we see that these are those who have not defiled themselves with women, but are virgins, which represents not worshipping other gods, not committing adultery against the Lord; Now we know that according to the scriptures, the people of Israel according to the flesh is the first wife of Yahweh, who was put away because she committed adultery with other gods (idols); this marks the difference between the 144,000 who are spiritual Jews (grafted in to the people of Israel) and the Jews according to the flesh who will be saved during the Great Tribulation.
The 144,000 are therefore virgins, just like a Bride who goes to meet her Bridegroom at the wedding. We are told that they are WITHOUT SPOT, and we know that the Lord will come for a Bride (Church) without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but holy and blameless.
We also notice that the 144,000 were BUYED from the earth, or bought from among men (nations); whereas those in the great tribulation who represent the people of Israel according to the flesh, will WASH THEIR ROBES, which represents a defiled people, a bride who had become defiled. The 144,000 were bought to be THE FIRST FRUIT OF THE EARTH (the firstfruits/first harvest), which confirms that they will be saved before the others, and are therefore the Church. It is also written that they follow the Lamb wherever he goes (the born of God who will be like the wind).
Let us not be surprised that the 144,000 are 12,000 from each tribe of Israel, for as we know the Church is made up of Gentiles who have been grafted into the people of Israel (the Frankish olive tree) and are now (spiritually) part of Israel. And do not be surprised that those in the great tribulation are from all peoples, tribes, tongues and nations; for the people of Israel according to the flesh having been scattered, there are Jews from all nations, throughout the world, as this passage tells us:
Acts 2:5 Now there were Jews sojourning in Jerusalem, devout men from every nation under heaven.
So we understand that there are indeed Jews from every nation under heaven, and we know that everything has been written so that no one can understand the scriptures without the Holy Spirit, so that only those who seek with all their heart will find.
We understand that far fewer people will be saved during the rapture of the Church than will be saved during the great tribulation, and I share this with you so that you will realize that the times are serious and that there are truly few chosen.
I add that: we know that the 144,000 are not destined for the wrath that will come upon the inhabitants of the earth, while the people of Israel according to the flesh will be purified (tested) by it in order to be saved.
And also that it is impossible for the 144,000 to be on earth at the same time as the two prophets who will be ministering during the first half of the 70th week of the year appointed over Israel (the first half of the 7-year reign of the antichrist); for as we know, during this period there will only be 2 prophets who will be with Jesus Christ, and who will prevent humans from fully experiencing this time of false peace that will take place before the great tribulation, and for this they will be put to death and all the inhabitants of the earth will rejoice...
We also know that the people of Israel will turn to Christ as a result of two great events: one being the resurrection and rapture of the two prophets before the people of Jerusalem, accompanied by a great earthquake that will kill 7,000 people; the other being the revelation of the true face of the antichrist, when he will proclaim himself God and order that he be worshipped as such. The 144,000 therefore have no connection with the conversion of Israel, for they will already be with Christ at that time.
