We are so blessed to live in a time where we have 24/7 access to teachers who have dedicated their entire lives to the study of God’s word. All from a device that fits in my pocket. The internet can lead you to destruction or it can bring you closer to God.

I appreciate how Jesus is ALWAYS there for us. Always there to advocate for us, to step in for us, and to remind us when we forget. Thanks Jesus!

[gwentomlinson]

I can’t wait to see God proving to the world that He says what He means and means what He says….every single time

They know who they are, God's spirit tells them.

He does not know who the 144, 000 are, only God knows. But everyone of the 144, 000 will know they have been chosen, the prelude to the song of angels will always play in their heads, they have seen the beast, fought all temptations, attacks and won, they are the true, faithful and steadfast believers, spiritual gifts come to them, and they will have the voice of Jesus Christ giving them advise.

Jesus is Lord, He loves you, Jesus died for you and He rose again three days later! Repent and put your faith in Him alone!

[omen]

I'm so sick of sining but I really struggle after a few weeks of trying my best. I'm completely fed up with falling and at same time being completely alone doesn't make any easier

I really don’t like it when men say “What God means is....”
REALLY???
God says what He means and
Means what He says. His word was written so a man, any man, could understand it. It is simple as God meant it to be. Man tries to over-complicate His word.

[ejchakaodza]

We do not worry about who they are. The Most High knows his people. We work our salvation with fear and trembling.

Everyone's view on this is going to depend on their eschatological position. Ultimately, it is not necessary for us all to understand these things and agree.

[jenanielson]

If you read the 144, 000 are also to be kings with Jesus.
They are anointed..people like the apostles..and first century christians..they are also called the little flock..compared to the great crowd..in Rev 14..they are a special chosen select to be co_ rulets..
They are not to multitude..and it is not symbolic..the great crowd is unnumbered..but 144, 000 is numbered.

Thank You so much. AAron said it early on, " How can the judge of all the world not do right?" How can we doubt when its said so well in John 3:16? Revelations is scary, but when understood, Is reaffirming of Jesus Promise. A number is not the determining factor, your commitment to Jesus is. He said " I am the way."

Professor Robert L. Thomas wrote regarding the figure 144, 000 mentioned at Revelation 7:4: “It is a definite number in contrast with the indefinite number of 7:9. If it is taken symbolically, no number in the book can be taken literally.”​—Revelation 1-7: An Exegetical Commentary,  page 474.
