The remaining ones on earth( few) will be taken, changed in the twinkling of an eye, during the tribulation. Many of them lived in Jesus' day or have already died.Do those 144,000 go to heaven because they find it or because God takes them there?
He does both. He leads us to embrace His Son as our Salvation. We then have legal Salvation. And because of this He will take us to Himself to give us new immortal bodies. Then we will inherit a new, purified earth.Does God take us to heaven, or does he lead us there? (In other words, do we have to find heaven for ourselves?)

I love you giving a scripture answer like this... the word "ask" is in gospels 47 times.. heck I have even prayed and ask Father to be in the book of life and not blotted out."Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened." Matthew 7:7-8
God promised to take them there changing them in the twinkling of an eye.( The ones living during the tribulation)Do the 144,000 you mentioned go to heaven because they find it or because God takes them there?
