The 144,000 sealed mentioned in the book of Revelation are the number of literal people chosen who will inherit the kingdom of God, and are numbered only among the 12 tribes of Israel because only the sons of Israel will inherit the kingdom of God,
And I heard the number of the sealed, 144,000, sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel: 12,000 from the tribe of Judah were sealed, 12,000 from the tribe of Reuben, 12,000 from the tribe of Gad, 12,000 from the tribe of Asher, 12,000 from the tribe of Naphtali, 12,000 from the tribe of Manasseh, 12,000 from the tribe of Simeon, 12,000 from the tribe of Levi, 12,000 from the tribe of Issachar, 12,000 from the tribe of Zebulun, 12,000 from the tribe of Joseph, 12,000 from the tribe of Benjamin were sealed.
Revelation 7:4-8
For even though the Gentiles have also become heirs of the kingdom of God, the Gentiles that will end up inheriting the kingdom of God will all also descend from Abraham, whether knowingly or unknowingly, because through the exiles of the sons of Israel leading up to the destruction of Jerusalem after the Messiah all the tribes of Israel have now been dispersed among the nations, yet the dispersion first began with the house of Israel that was exiled to Assyria, for the kingdom of Israel previously became divided into the house of Israel and the house of Judah, and then the house of Judah was later exiled to Babylon, yet unlike the house of Israel the house of Judah returned to Israel, which became the “Jews” in Jerusalem at the time of the Messiah, yet the house of Israel remained dispersed among the nations, and that is why the Messiah came not only for the sheep of the house of Judah that was present in Israel during his time on the earth, which relates with “for deliverance is of the Jews”, but also for the lost sheep of the house of Israel that was dispersed among the nations, to finally make them into one fold at his second coming, the 144,000 sealed and chosen from among the sons of Israel, and that is why the Gentiles who believe in Yeshuah are grafted into Israel, which is the cultivated olive tree, because even though the Gentiles were previously foreigners of the promises given to Abraham because the dispersion had not happened yet, through the dispersion the set-apart seed of Abraham was dispersed throughout the nations, which therefore brought the inclusion of the Gentiles as “offspring” of Abraham also, which is the “grafting in” of the Gentiles that believe in Yeshuah into Israel, the “lost sheep of the house of Israel” and the “exiles of Israel” and even also the “scattered of Judah” since all tribes of Israel have now been dispersed, which is the reason why God told Abraham, “for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations”, and why the Gentiles were also compared by Paul to Isaac, who represents those born under the new covenant, versus Ishmael, who represents those born under the old covenant, yet both sons were still descendants of Abraham from his flesh, and thus, at the second coming of the Messiah the newly glorified Israel will be 144,000 chosen from among the offspring of Abraham after Jacob, which will be a mixture of Jews then Gentiles that descend from Abraham under the old covenant of Moses, whose sign was resting on the Shabbath, and under the new covenant of the Messiah, whose sign is the circumcision of the heart, which were two covenants that both came from one covenant, the covenant that God established with Abraham, whose sign was the circumcision of the flesh, which is why being a descendant of Abraham is required to “inherit the kingdom of God”, for it is written, “but one who will come forth from your own body, he shall be your heir”,
No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham, for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations
Genesis 17:5
Whereas you were as numerous as the stars of heaven, you shall be left few in number, because you did not obey the voice of the Master your God. And as the Master took delight in doing you good and multiplying you, so the Master will take delight in bringing ruin upon you and destroying you. And you shall be plucked off the land that you are entering to take possession of it. And the Master will scatter you among all peoples, from one end of the earth to the other, and there you shall serve other gods of wood and stone, which neither you nor your fathers have known.
Deuteronomy 28:62-64
And the Master was angry with Solomon, because his heart had turned away from the Master, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods. But he did not keep what the Master commanded. Therefore the Master said to Solomon, “Since this has been your practice and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes that I have commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom from you and will give it to your servant. Yet for the sake of David your father I will not do it in your days, but I will tear it out of the hand of your son. However, I will not tear away all the kingdom, but I will give one tribe to your son, for the sake of David my servant and for the sake of Jerusalem that I have chosen.”
1 Kings 11:9-13
Then Ahijah laid hold of the new garment that was on him, and tore it into twelve pieces. And he said to Jeroboam, “Take for yourself ten pieces, for thus says the Master, the God of Israel, ‘Behold, I am about to tear the kingdom from the hand of Solomon and will give you ten tribes, but he shall have one tribe, for the sake of my servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city that I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel
1 Kings 11:30-32
I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed throughout the earth. In accordance with their ways and their deeds I judged them.
Ezekiel 36:19
I will scatter you among the nations and disperse you throughout the earth, and I will remove your uncleanness out of you.
Ezekiel 22:15
In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria captured Samaria, and he carried away Israel to Assyria and placed them in Halah, and on the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes. And this occurred because the sons of Israel had sinned against the Master their God, who had brought them up out of the land of Egypt from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods and walked in the customs of the nations whom the Master drove out before the sons of Israel, and in the customs that the kings of Israel had practiced.
2 Kings 17:6-8
In the fifty-second year of Azariah king of Judah, Pekah the son of Remaliah began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and he reigned twenty years. And he did what was evil in the sight of the Master. He did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which he made Israel to sin. In the days of Pekah king of Israel, Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria came and captured Ijon, Abel-beth-maacah, Janoah, Kedesh, Hazor, Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali, and he carried the people captive to Assyria.
2 Kings 15:27-29
The king of Assyria carried the Israelites away to Assyria and put them in Halah, and on the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes, because they did not obey the voice of the Master their God but transgressed his covenant, even all that Moses the servant of the Master commanded. They neither listened nor obeyed.
2 Kings 18:11-12
So the God of Israel stirred up the breath of Pul king of Assyria, the breath of Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, and he took them into exile, namely, the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, and brought them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and the river Gozan, to this day.
1 Chronicles 5:26
So all Israel was recorded in genealogies, and these are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel. And Judah was taken into exile in Babylon because of their treachery. Now the first to dwell in their possessions in the cities of Israel were the priests, the Levites, and the temple servants. And some of the people of Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh lived in Jerusalem: Uthai the son of Ammihud, son of Omri, son of Imri, son of Bani, from the sons of Perez the son of Judah. And of the Shilonites: Asaiah the firstborn, and his sons. Of the sons of Zerah: Jeuel and their kinsmen, 690. Of the Benjaminites: Sallu the son of Meshullam, son of Hodaviah, son of Hassenuah, Ibneiah the son of Jeroham, Elah the son of Uzzi, son of Michri, and Meshullam the son of Shephatiah, son of Reuel, son of Ibnijah; and their kinsmen according to their generations, 956. All these were heads of fathers’ houses according to their fathers’ houses. Of the priests: Jedaiah, Jehoiarib, Jachin, and Azariah the son of Hilkiah, son of Meshullam, son of Zadok, son of Meraioth, son of Ahitub, the chief officer of the house of God; and Adaiah the son of Jeroham, son of Pashhur, son of Malchijah, and Maasai the son of Adiel, son of Jahzerah, son of Meshullam, son of Meshillemith, son of Immer; besides their kinsmen, heads of their fathers’ houses, 1,760, mighty men for the work of the service of the house of God. Of the Levites: Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, son of Azrikam, son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari; and Bakbakkar, Heresh, Galal and Mattaniah the son of Mica, son of Zichri, son of Asaph; and Obadiah the son of Shemaiah, son of Galal, son of Jeduthun, and Berechiah the son of Asa, son of Elkanah, who lived in the villages of the Netophathites.

Be it done for you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed instantly.
Matthew 15:22-28
You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for deliverance is of the Jews.
John 4:22
Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry in order somehow to make my fellow Jews jealous, and thus save some of them. For if their rejection means the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead? If the dough offered as firstfruits is set-apart, so is the whole lump, and if the root is set-apart, so are the branches. But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root of the olive tree, do not boast over those branches. If you do, remember this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you. Then you will say, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.” That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand fast through belief. So do not become proud, but fear. For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you. Note then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God’s kindness to you, provided you continue in his kindness. Otherwise you too will be cut off. And even they, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God has the power to graft them in again.
Romans 11:13-23
After all, if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree! I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in, and in this way all Israel will be saved. As it is written: “The deliverer will come from Zion; he will turn impiety away from Jacob.
Romans 11:24-26
Therefore remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh, called “the uncircumcision” by what is called the circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands, remember that you were at that time separated from the Messiah, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in the Messiah Yeshuah you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of the Messiah… So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the set-apart ones and members of the household of God
Ephesians 2:11-19
The Jews said to one another, “Where does this man intend to go that we will not find him? Does he intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?
John 7:35
Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Master, together with his entire household. And many of the Corinthians hearing Paul believed and were baptized. And the Master said to Paul one night in a vision, “Do not be afraid, but go on speaking and do not be silent, for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many in this city who are my people.” And he stayed a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

Know then that it is those of the belief who are the sons of Abraham.
Galatians 3:7
Then you shall say to Pharaoh, ‘Thus says the Master, Israel is my firstborn son, and I say to you, “Let my son go that he may serve me.” If you refuse to let him go, behold, I will kill your firstborn son.’”
Exodus 4:22-23
Then behold, the word of the Master came to him, saying, “This man will not be your heir; but one who will come forth from your own body, he shall be your heir.”
Genesis 15:4
Tell me, you who desire to be under the Torah, do you not listen to the Torah? For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by a slave woman and one by a free woman. But the son of the slave was born according to the flesh, while the son of the free woman was born through promise. Now this may be interpreted allegorically: these women are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children for slavery; she is Hagar. Now Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia; she corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children. But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother. For it is written, “Rejoice, O barren one who does not bear; break forth and cry aloud, you who are not in labor! For the children of the desolate one will be more than those of the one who has a husband.” Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise. But just as at that time he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the airflow, so also it is now. But what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the slave woman and her son, for the son of the slave woman shall not inherit with the son of the free woman.” So, brothers, we are not children of the slave but of the free woman.
Galatians 4:21-31
It is not as though the word of God had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel. Nor because they are his descendants are they all children of Abraham. On the contrary, “It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.” In other words, it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as the offspring of Abraham.
Romans 9:6-8
Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness and who seek the Master: Look to the rock from which you were cut and to the quarry from which you were hewn; look to Abraham, your father, and to Sarah, who gave you birth. When I called him he was only one man, and I blessed him and made him many.
Isaiah 51:1-2
On the contrary, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is of the heart, by the airflow, not the letter…
Romans 2:29
For the “inheritance” of the kingdom of God is land on this earth, not “going to heaven” as many falsely teach, which was given only to Abraham and his offspring, hence “this land I will give to you and your offspring”, yet this “inheritance” of land is given to the offspring of Abraham under the two covenants that came through the one covenant of the patriarch Abraham, where the first and old covenant of Moses gave the sons of Israel the land of Canaan as an inheritance, yet the second and new covenant of the Messiah gives the sons of Israel not only the land of Canaan that was promised in the first and old covenant, but the entire earth as an inheritance, which is why Abraham is called “heir of the world”, for the lesser land given under the first and old covenant of Moses was only a foreshadow of the greater land that will be given under the new covenant of the Messiah, which is the entire earth, which is why it is also written, “the meek shall inherit the earth”, which is one reason why the new covenant was established on better promises than the old covenant, and this greater “inheritance” of the entire earth will be given to Abraham and his offspring at the second coming of the Messiah, and these will dwell in the land of Canaan on a mountain that will form at the second coming of the Messiah that will be called “Mount Zion”, which is why the 144,000 are standing with the lamb on Mount Zion, and the land of Canaan will also be distributed among the twelve tribes of Israel then, while also giving the sons of Israel authority to rule over nations all around the earth, and this is why there is a resurrection of the dead at the second coming of the Messiah, to resurrect Abraham and his offspring from among the dead to receive this great inheritance at his second coming, which also includes Isaac and Jacob, who are also patriarchs of the promises and descendants of Abraham, and the 144,000 sealed among the sons of Jacob, who are also called the “sons of Israel” because Jacob was renamed to “Israel”, which means “he will rule as God”, which is why the prophet Daniel, who will be among the 144,000, will also “wake up to receive his inheritance in the end of days”, and all these will rule the earth along with the Messiah for 1,000 years, which is what “inheriting the kingdom of God” means, to become a co-ruler in the kingdom of the Messiah at his second coming, whose rulership will extend over the entire earth, in the final aeon of this earth, which is when the nations will finally come to God, hence what Gold told Abraham, “and through your offspring shall all the nations of the earth be blessed”, which is why it is also written regarding that time, “blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands”, which is the “great multitude” in the book of Revelation that lives under the rulership of the Messiah, after the nations are shattered and reduced to few at his second coming, which is the “great tribulation”, yet because Israel is the firstborn nation of God is why it is given authority to rule first before all other nations, over this earth, before all other peoples are also given authority to also rule, but over the next earth, yet not as divided nations as it is on this earth, but all as one nation, the “kingdom of God”, which will be the only nation that will continue to exist into the next earth, for all other nations will eventually end when the old earth passes away, and through the kingdom of God on the old earth all peoples written in the book of life will eventually become one people in the heavenly Jerusalem, which will descend unto the new earth, and not only will all peoples from the old earth become one people, but angels and man that were not destroyed in the lake of fire will also eventually become one people in the New Jerusalem, all as the bride of God, and will all rule on the new earth into the aeons of the aeons, for that is what God made the heavenly man and the earthly man to be, his own “representation” in creation to rule just as God rules over creation, yet even in those aeons the firstborn nation of God from the old earth will continue to be set apart and honored above all other nations from the old earth, which is why the New Jerusalem in the new earth will have twelve gates in remembrance of the twelve tribes of Israel,
When Abram was ninety-nine years old the Master appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am God Almighty; walk before me, and be perfect, that I may make my covenant between me and you, and may multiply you greatly.” Then Abram fell on his face. And God said to him, “Behold, my covenant is with you, and you shall be the father of a multitude of nations. No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham, for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations. I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make you into nations, and kings shall come from you. And I will establish my covenant between me and you and your offspring after you throughout their generations for an aeonial covenant, to be God to you and to your offspring after you. And I will give to you and to your offspring after you the land of your sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an aeonial possession, and I will be their God.” And God said to Abraham, “As for you, you shall keep my covenant, you and your offspring after you throughout their generations. This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your offspring after you: Every male among you shall be circumcised. You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and you. He who is eight days old among you shall be circumcised. Every male throughout your generations, whether born in your house or bought with your money from any foreigner who is not of your offspring, both he who is born in your house and he who is bought with your money, shall surely be circumcised. So shall my covenant be in your flesh an aeonial covenant. Any uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin shall be cut off from his people; he has broken my covenant.”
Genesis 17:1-14
You shall keep the Shabbath, because it is set-apart for you. Everyone who profanes it shall be put to death. Whoever does any work on it, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day is a Shabbath of solemn rest, set-apart to the Master. Whoever does any work on the Shabbath day shall be put to death. Therefore the people of Israel shall keep the Shabbath, fulfilling the Shabbath throughout their generations, as an aeonial covenant. It is an aeonial sign between me and the people of Israel that in six days the Master made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.
Exodus 31:14-17
Behold, the days are coming, declares the Master, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the Master. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Master: I will put my Torah within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Jeremiah 31:31-33
for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
Matthew 26:28
In speaking of a new covenant, he has made the first one old; and what is old and aging is near vanishing.
Hebrews 8:13
But a Jew is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the airflow, not by the letter. His praise is not from man but from God.
Romans 2:29
In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of the Messiah
Colossians 2:11
After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, “Deliverance belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God to the aeons of the aeons! Amen.” Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, “Who are these, clothed in white robes, and from where have they come?” I said to him, “My master, you know.” And he said to me, “These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation. They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Micah 4:6-7
On this mountain the Master Almighty will prepare a feast of rich food for all peoples, a banquet of aged wine– the best of meats and the finest of wines. On this mountain he will destroy the shroud that enfolds all peoples, the sheet that covers all nations; he will swallow up death… The Master the Master will wipe away the tears from all faces; he will remove his people’s disgrace from all the earth. the Master has spoken. In that day they will say, “Surely this is our God; we trusted in him, and he saved us. This is the Master, we trusted in him; let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation.” The hand of the Master will rest on this mountain; but Moab will be trampled in their land as straw is trampled down in the manure.
Isaiah 25:6-10
I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 8:11
the Master swore an oath to David, a sure oath he will not revoke: One of your own descendants I will place on your throne. If your sons keep my covenant and the statutes I teach them always, then their sons will sit on your throne always. For the Master has chosen Zion, he has desired it for his dwelling, saying, “This is my resting place always; here I will always sit enthroned, for I have desired it. I will bless her with abundant provisions; her poor I will satisfy with food. I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her faithful people will ever sing for joy. “Here I will make a horn grow for David and set up a lamp for my anointed one. I will clothe his enemies with shame, but his head will be adorned with a radiant crown.”
Psalm 132:11-18
A song of ascents. Of David. How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity! It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron’s beard, down on the collar of his robe. It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the Master bestows his blessing, even aeonial life.
Psalm 133:1-3

In visions of God he took me to the land of Israel and set me on a very high mountain, on whose south side were some buildings that looked like a city. So he took me there, and I saw a man whose appearance was like bronze; he was standing in the gateway with a linen cord and a measuring rod in his hand. The man said to me, “Son of man, look carefully and listen closely and pay attention to everything I am going to show you, for that is why you have been brought here. Tell the people of Israel everything you see.” I saw a wall completely surrounding the temple area. The length of the measuring rod in the man’s hand was six long cubits, each of which was a cubit and a hand breadth. He measured the wall; it was one measuring rod thick and one rod high.

He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths.” The Torah will go out from Zion, the word of the Master from Jerusalem.

Zechariah 6:13
A song. A psalm of the Sons of Korah. Great is the Master, and most worthy of praise, in the city of our God, his set-apart mountain. Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, like the remote parts of the north is Mount Zion, the city of the Great King. God is in her citadels; he has shown himself to be her fortress…. Mount Zion rejoices, the villages of Judah are glad because of your judgments. Walk about Zion, go around her, count her towers, consider well her ramparts, view her citadels, that you may tell of them to the next generation.
Psalm 48:1-13
And I will shake all nations, so that the treasures of all nations shall come in, and I will fill this house with glory, says the Master of armies. The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, declares the Master of armies. The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former, says the Master of armies. And in this place I will give peace, declares the Master of armies.
Haggai 2:7-9
You will arise and have pity on Zion; it is the time to favor her; the appointed time has come. For your servants hold her stones dear and have pity on her dust. Nations will fear the name of the Master, and all the kings of the earth will fear your glory. For the Master builds up Zion; he appears in his glory;
Psalm 102:13-16
But the Master reigns aeonially. He has prepared his throne for judgment. He will judge the world in righteousness. He will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness. the Master will also be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. Those who know your name will put their trust in you, for you, the Master, have not forsaken those who seek you. Sing praises to the Master, who dwells in Zion, and declare among the people what he has done.

And nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising… Foreigners shall build up your walls, and their kings shall minister to you; for in my wrath I struck you, but in my favor I have had mercy on you. Your gates shall be open continually; day and night they shall not be shut, that people may bring to you the wealth of the nations, with their kings led in procession. For the nation and kingdom that will not serve you shall perish; those nations shall be utterly laid waste. The glory of Lebanon shall come to you, the cypress, the plane, and the pine, to beautify the place of my set-apart place, and I will make the place of my feet glorious. The sons of those who afflicted you shall come bending low to you, and all who despised you shall bow down at your feet; they shall call you the City of the Master the Zion of the Set-Apart One of Israel.
Isaiah 60:1-14
For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not be quiet, until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her salvation as a burning torch. The nations shall see your righteousness, and all the kings your glory, and you shall be called by a new name that the mouth of the Master will give… Behold, the Master has proclaimed to the end of the earth: Say to the daughter of Zion, “Behold, your salvation comes; behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.” And they shall be called The Set-Apart People, The Purchased of the Master; and you shall be called Sought Out, A City Not Forsaken.

Thus says the Master God: “This is the boundary by which you shall divide the land for inheritance among the twelve tribes of Israel. Joseph shall have two portions. And you shall divide equally what I swore to give to your fathers. This land shall fall to you as your inheritance. “This shall be the boundary of the land: On the north side, from the Great Sea by way of Hethlon to Lebo-hamath, and on to Zedad, Berothah, Sibraim, which lies on the border between Damascus and Hamath, as far as Hazer-hatticon, which is on the border of Hauran. So the boundary shall run from the sea to Hazar-enan, which is on the northern border of Damascus, with the border of Hamath to the north. This shall be the north side. “On the east side, the boundary shall run between Hauran and Damascus; along the Jordan between Gilead and the land of Israel; to the eastern sea and as far as Tamar. This shall be the east side. “On the south side, it shall run from Tamar as far as the waters of Meribah-kadesh, from there along the Brook of Egypt to the Great Sea. This shall be the south side. “On the west side, the Great Sea shall be the boundary to a point opposite Lebo-hamath. This shall be the west side. “So you shall divide this land among you according to the tribes of Israel. You shall allot it as an inheritance for yourselves and for the foreigners who reside among you and have had children among you. They shall be to you as native-born children of Israel. With you they shall be allotted an inheritance among the tribes of Israel. In whatever tribe the sojourner resides, there you shall assign him his inheritance, declares the Master God.
Ezekiel 47:13-23
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the set-apart city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the tent of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”

Daniel 7:27
The airflow of the Master the Master is upon me, for the Master has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted and to proclaim that captives will be released and prisoners will be freed. He has sent me to tell those who mourn that the time of the the Master’s favor has come, and with it, the day of God’s anger against their enemies. To all who mourn in Israel, he will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair. In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks that the Master has planted for his own glory. They will rebuild the ancient ruins, repairing cities destroyed long ago. They will revive them, though they have been deserted for many generations. Foreigners will be your servants. They will feed your flocks and plow your fields and tend your vineyards. You will be called priests of the Master, ministers of our God. You will feed on the treasures of the nations and boast in their riches. Instead of shame and dishonor, you will enjoy a double share of honor. You will possess a double portion of prosperity in your land, and aeonial joy will be yours.

May all kings bow down to him and all nations serve him.

1 Corinthians 15:51-53
Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear.
Matthew 13:43
And thus, because the 144,000 sealed in the book of Revelation will be Jews then Gentiles from under two covenants is why they are purchased from the earth, because the 144,000 sealed are purchased from among the Jews then Gentiles among the nations to become one nation of 144,000 chosen at the second coming of the Messiah, and will suddenly appear at the second coming of the Messiah because the 144,000 from among the dead will be resurrected into immortal bodies, and the 144,000 among the living will be transformed into immortal bodies, and will all be gathered and taken to where the Messiah will be at his coming, which will thus fulfill this prophecy, “shall the earth be in pangs in one day and birth a nation in one moment? Yet no sooner is Zion in pangs than she gives birth to her children”,
…the 144,000 who had been purchased from the earth.
Revelation 14:3
you were purchased at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies…
1 Corinthians 6:20
…the assembly of God, which he purchased with his own blood.

Which is also the reason they are called “first fruits” from among the nations, for the chosen Jews and Gentiles that believe will become the newly glorified Israel, 144,000 chosen from Israel, the firstborn nation of God that will become the first to receive immortal bodies and authority to rule,
…as firstfruits to God and the Lamb.
Revelation 14:4
…that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.
James 1:18
Which is also the reason they are called “virgins”, for the sons of the resurrection and those that will be transformed into new immortal bodies will not be married, and will become like angels of God, who are virgins,
These are those who did not defile themselves with women, for they remained virgins…
Revelation 14:4
At the resurrection people will not marry… they will be like the angels in heaven.
Matthew 22:30
And just as the believers will always be with the Messiah from his second coming and onwards is why it is also said regarding the 144,000 chosen, “they follow the lamb wherever he goes”,
…They follow the Lamb wherever he goes…
Revelation 14:4
For the Master himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in the Messiah will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Master in the air, and so we will always be with the Master.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
And because so few will inherit the kingdom of God, only 144,000 chosen and also Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob from everyone that has existed on the earth, is why it is said, “many are called, but few are chosen”,
For many are called, but few are chosen.
Matthew 22:14
So then also in the present time a remnant according to choice of favor takes place.
Romans 11:5
Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: “Though the number of the sons of Israel be like the sand by the sea, only the remnant will be delivered.
Romans 9:27
And finally, the “seal” itself symbolizes the airflow of God, which was given under the old covenant, and also under the new covenant, which is the guarantee of deliverance of having been chosen to become one of the 144,000 that will inherit the kingdom of God,
saying, “Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.”
Revelation 7:3
In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised set-apart airflow
Ephesians 1:13
And it is God who establishes us with you in the Messiah, and has anointed us, and who has also put his seal on us and given us his airflow in our hearts as a guarantee.
2 Corinthians 1:21-22
Dear Christian. If I understand well what you explain, the 144 000 sealed ones who will rule with Yeshua in 1000 years on earth will be in a sort the Ministers, Governor, Chiefs and Priest for Yeshua. They will reign with HIM over those who will be granted mercy to live during the Millenium. SO
QUESTION 1: What will be the end result of those Christians who are neither wicked nor sinners but have not worked enough to be chosen as rulers and who yet deserved eternel life ?
QUESTION 2: In your depiction of the 144 000 chosen ones, there is no mention anywhere about the children. Does it means that at the second coming of Yeshua there will not be any children among the elects ones both among the dead and among the alive when He will resurrect the saved ?
I asked these questions because as you have described the subject, it will not be easy for a common mortal human being to inherit the Kingdom of God even being a believer. Please more explanations.
Most humanity will be destroyed at the return of Yeshua. Even most christians will die. Anyone who has accepted fiat currency as money and has not renounced it will be destroyed. Only a very small remnant of humanity will be permitted to live onwards into the 1,000 year rulership of Yeshua. If an anointed person has children that do not have the anointing, the children will still be saved though for the sake of the anointed person, although these children will not be granted authority to rule, since that is only reserved for those that receive the anointing. This is why in the book of Acts it says, “believe on the Master Yeshua, and you will be saved, you and your household.” Salvation extends to everyone in the household. The household of Lot was saved for the sake of Lot. The household of Noah was saved for the sake of Noah. The sons of Israel departed Egypt with children and animals. And so in likewise manner it will happen at the return of Yeshua. It is even possible that our animals will be saved also. Yeshua will send his angels to gather the anointed ones from all over the world, and among those that will be gathered will be the households of the anointed ones, children and other members of the household and possibly also animals. All will be taken to Israel, and will be placed securely on Mount Zion, and will be spared from the 7 bowls of wrath that the entire rest of the world will be struck with. And so these all will be “saved”.
Hi Master Christian. You said: Only those whose names are written in the book of life will continue existing onto the new earth. And in the new heavens and new earth these will also be given authority to rule, just as those who were given authority to rule for 1,000 years on this earth. For all who enter into the new heavens and new earth will be given authority to rule. My question is: upon whom these becoming immortals remnants will rule? knowing that rulership is established only on a specific servants? On the angels during the eternity?
Hi Joseph. We do not know who we will rule over in the new heavens and new earth. The angels will not become servants in those times. The new heavens and new earth will be an entirely new creation, possibly with new life forms brought into existence in that time.
Hi master Christian ! The world population today is estimated to nearly 8 billions of human beings. We do not know exactly the number of the dead but we are certain that they are numerous than the livings on earth. All these people combined (livings and dead) are billions and the Bible says that out of them, only 144 000 people will be saved without counting the little remnants of the nations God will grant mercy to live as servants in the millenial reign of Yeshua Ha Mashiah. It means that the election for salvation will be very tight and searched and that not any believer can be electect. My question is: What are the PARTICULARITIES IN DEED AND FAITH of these 144 000 people ? Is it possible for some of the belivers who have not resisted to famine, thirsty and even the plagues associated to the second coming of Yeshua and who died because of these being resurrected after the millenial and granted eternal life ?
In the current time these 144,000 will have believed in Yeshua and obeyed the Torah of Moses. Which involves not possessing any fiat currency.
