The 144,000 are a group of male believers selected by God to preach the gospel during the wrath of God now
This selection is possibly due to their impeccable character and even their willingness to forgo certain privileges of this earth
The Bible tells us that these are they which are not defiled with women for they are virgins and in their mouth is found
No guile for they are without fault before the throne of God now contrary to popular belief
They are not composed of primarily Jews, but of the tribes of the children of Israel namely 12,000 of each tribe
Excluding the tribe of Dan being replaced by the half tribe of Manasseh
Another common misconception is that they get saved during the tribulation whereas the Bible actually first records them being in heaven in the presence of the lamb
Subsequently being sent to this earth to preach the gospel to the remaining survivors of God's wrath
The Bible also says that these are they which are redeemed from among men being the first fruits unto God unto the lamb
Insinuating that these are possibly some of the first Israelites to be saved when the tribe still existed and lastly they're sealed in their forehead
with their father's name to supernaturally protect them from God's wrath more in the
