Daniel 2:44 Speaks of God's Kingdom. Matthew 24:14 Says: The Good News of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth as a witness and then the end will come. In the first century part of the kingdom was chosen and now in our time the remaining 144,000 are being bought from the earth. Yahweh-Gods name in Hebrew or Jehovah is God's name. Jesus aka Yehoshua bought back what Adam lost as our original father. Ask for a free bible study from Jehovah's Witnesses if you're truly interested in learning The Truth.

— jeanAll of the 144,000 are chosen and sealed during the time of the 6th seal which is the second coming of Christ and has yet to happen. When Jesus Christ comes he brings his reward with him (Revelation 22:12), the 7th seal is pulled and then the 7 trumpets begin to sound. The trumpets do not sound until after Christ’s second coming. This is the order of when things happen (see scriptures below).
Is it true that the Witnesses have elders and leaders of the Watchtower organization already selected as Saints? If so this seems presumptuous and maybe even arrogant, considering John’s prophetic explanation of when the Saints are chosen. Are we not to judge before the time whether it be life eternal, immortality, and even condemnation?
The truth is in the Bible.

And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
Revelation 6:16
And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
Revelation 7:1
And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
Revelation 7:3-4
Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
Revelation 8:1-2
And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
