There are two groups of 144,000 mentioned in the bible. The group in Rev. 7 are jews and are on earth. The second group in Rev.14 are Christians since they have "his name (the Lamb) and his Father's name written on their foreheads". Although this is a a scene in heaven, they too will be here on earth when Jesus returns since they "follow the Lamb wherever he goes". NOWHERE in the bible does it say that these are the only ones to go to heaven, in fact, John is in heaven when he records this.

The 144,000 are the only ones called out as being reedemed from the earth. This is why it is correct to teach they are the only ones going to heaven. I challenge anyone visiting this site to prove with the Bible that there are more than 144,000 going to heaven.

Revelation 14:1-4 says the 144,000 saints go to heaven because they are redeemed from the earth. They are Christians in vs. 4.

From your blog below you have stated that the twelve tribes of Israel are 144,000 chosen from literal Jews which I take as blood-line Jews.

Here is a short explanation of why we are saying that the 144,000 are chosen from mankind (men and women) after Christ's death and are chosen from ALL nations, not just the Jews from Israel.

1st point: Who is Israel?
A Jew was recognized by one who followed the Mosaic Law and was circumcised by the covenants given to Abraham and Moses. Since the death and resurrection of God's Son, God's people are called from all nations. Today, God's people are recognized as Christians, followers of God's Son, Jesus the Christ.

See Galatians 3:14, Romans 2:11, 28-29, Romans 9:23-25

2nd point: who are the 144,000?
Through a series of scriptures we can conclude that the 144,000 are chosen from men and women of all nations.

The 144,000 were redeemed from the earth, meaning they were resurrected through the blood of Christ. The 144,000 follow the Lamb and the Lamb is Christ (John 1:36). Those who follow the Christ are Christians. Virgins are those not defiled with false religion. This does not mean literal virgins or else the Apostle Peter could not qualify as he had a wife (Matthew 8:14).

See Revelation 14:3-4

The 144,000 are called Saints and they are redeemed by Christ's blood. They also come from all nations and are made kings and priests to Christ.

See Revelation 8:8-10

From Revelation 8 the Saints are made kings and priests to Christ. Here they are of the seven churches, again pointing out they are Christians from all nations.

See Revelation 1:4-6.

For even more explanation and scriptures about the 144,000 please visit our recently published article 144,000 Christian Saints.

show me in thr bible were it tells you that only 144000 go to heven

During Jesus' time the twelve tribes did exist and still to this day.Why even mention each tribe by name in revelations if they are spiritual jews. The gentiles have always been refered to as gentiles when mentioned, even being adopted into Gods' family. The 144,000 are jews for a special purpose that was designed from creation for this day. Try actually reading the whole bible and try other versions as well to get a good research look.

Listen I think you need to go back and read about the 144,000 it clearly states they are choosen from the 12 tribes of Isreal. You have your information wrong and it does sound like Jehovah's Witness mess. they will not be the only ones going to heaven!

[quote=Guest User]how is one a saint if all were born sinners?
All mankind has sinned. Only Jesus the Christ is without sin. Read (1John 1:7-9) If one desires to become a saint he must acknowledge & forsake his sins, then they are forgiven him through the blood of Christ. If they are forgiven then the sin no longer exists and one has a chance to become a saint. Paul called himself a chief sinner for pursecuting Christians. (1 Timothy 1:15-16) And Paul will be one of the saints.

how is one a saint if all were born sinners?

Revelation 6:9-11
And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:

And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

I believe the above quotation will help answer your question regarding what a saint does while he is waiting for his brethren to be resurrected. Are not all saints sealed at the same time? I am confused by the last sentence of this comment. Could you please support your statement with a scripture? (I am familiar with Revelation 7:1-8) Thank You.
