What are you getting at?
I know who my redeemer is.
Our NEW Birth in CHRIST first takes Place in HEAVEN Above.

Our Mother is New Jerusalem = Our Mother determines our Heritage/Genealogy along with our FATHER = Holy Spirit

Galatians 4:26
These things serve as illustrations, for the women represent two covenants. One covenant is from Mount Sinai and bears children into slavery: This is Hagar. Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present-day Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children.
But the Jerusalem above is free, and She is our Mother.

Our Mother/Jerusalem consists of the Twelve Tribes of Israel who were Born not of the flesh/Jews
nor of the will of man/OT religion - but we have been Born from Above = by the Will of GOD thru the WORD

The WORD that became flesh is the Promised SEED = Romans 9:6-9


For they are not all Israel who are of Israel, 7nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, “In Isaac your seed shall be called.” 8That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted as the seed. 9For this is the word of promise: “At this time I will come and Sarah shall have a son.

The 144,000 is symbolic of the New Jerusalem = the Bride adorned for Her Husband/CHRIST

Sigh
You SKIPPED WHAT THEY ARE , WHO THEY ARE, AND PURPOSE.
Then you pushed forward a reckless attempt to protect your doctrine.

Why do you point to "origin of salvation" and skip EVERYTINHG the bible says about the 144,000??????
....including WHO THEY ARE, AND THEIR ROLE???????

YOU LITTERALLY made up that analogy of the church.

The 144k are firstfruit Jews harvested before main Jewish harvest of rev 14:14.

They could be preachers as you have asserted, but I don't see that.
You have to factor in the firstfruits dynamic.

There are 2 harvests.
Church
Jews.

Both harvested under the banner of the gospel of christ.

Jesus the firstfruits of tge Gentile church harvest.( grain harvest)

The 144,000 ETHNIC JEWS Are the firstfruits of the Jews harvest, then main harvest Jews( fruit harvest) illustrated in Hosea with Gomer. ,
....and romans 9-11.
Thanks for your comments. I was hoping my narrative might have addressed your comments - if I understand them correctly. The Jews were made desolate after they rejected and crucified their Messiah. God would, in essence, turn away from them for the "Time of the Gentiles." This has been a period of some 2000 years - and counting. But at the end of this period, God will reveal to His people (144,000 of them) that He was indeed the 'One they had pierced." This will be a corporate like Damascus experience not unlike Paul in the first century. This, of course will have tremendous effect on the entire world: the Jews will indeed return to their God and just like Paul, preach the Good News as he had done to the Gentile world in the first century. It will be a pure teaching and will make the world aware just how far the church has corrupted His Word and His testimony. The world will be amazed seeing the Jews preaching Jesus and this will bring hundreds of millions (hopefully) to Jesus before His return. But this will also be a nasty, horrible battle between their preaching of the pure / true Word of God and His testimony and those who have been in power for the past 1500 years or so.

But this is God's assignement for His people - not only to return to Him but to bring the world to the truth before judgement. This peiod will last exactly 3.5 years and will complete the 4th and final Great Jubilee period. And then the Messiah will return. This is their final mission or assignment. This will bring in the end times harvest. There is no Jew or Greek or Christian or Muslim or Buddhist - or the possibly 1000 other denominations and practices found throughout the world. The purpose of this preaching of the Good News to the world is to offer the final choice to each individual on the planet (not denomination or institution) to decide who they worship - the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and His Messiah, Jesus or .... anyone or anything other than Him. Again, this end time harvest is at an "individual" level. God is not interested in labels, denominations, churches, synagogues, institutions, etc. There is only one harvest at the individual level and each person must stand on their own choice. I hope this helps. Please let me know your thoughts and thanks.

EVERYTHING the Bible Says of the 144,000 are DIRECTLY from the NEW BIRTH of the SPIRIT

NEVER call JESUS and His words as "reckless abandon" = John 1:14

He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.
He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.
But as many as received Him, to them
He gave the right to become sons of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

It is about the redeemed of Israel, which the sons of God rejoice about. It is not all the "Elect". Just a fraction. It even "forgets" to say anything about the tribe of Dan.

NOPE

It is about the Redeemed from the earth = Jew & Gentile = One Temple = One New Man = One Nation

"And they are singing a new song, saying, "Worthy are You to take the scroll and to open its seals, because You were slain, and You purchased to God by Your blood, out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,"

"having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances,
so as to create
in Himself One New Man from the two = Jew & Gentile = thus making peace,"

[Rev 7:4-8 LSB] 4 And I heard the number of those having been sealed, 144,000 sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel: 5 from the tribe of Judah, 12,000 having been sealed, from the tribe of Reuben 12,000, from the tribe of Gad 12,000, 6 from the tribe of Asher 12,000, from the tribe of Naphtali 12,000, from the tribe of Manasseh 12,000, 7 from the tribe of Simeon 12,000, from the tribe of Levi 12,000, from the tribe of Issachar 12,000, 8 from the tribe of Zebulun 12,000, from the tribe of Joseph 12,000, from the tribe of Benjamin, 12,000 having been sealed.

I suppose you think this to be a different144K.

Revelation has much symbolism woven in = "Great Red Dragon" "Women with the Sun/Moon and Stars" etc etc

144,000 = Symbolic Number that represents the Body of CHRIST = and i KNOW why........

The 4 headed creature is symbolic of the 4 gospels, but the 4 is literal. You are just wrong, but the chapters are not close together, thus you have an excuse.

Romans 9- 11
The covenant Jew grafted back in.
The 144,000 are firstfruits.
Firstfruit Jews. 1) the first part of main harvest. 2) a Jewish only harvest. 3) the covenant people. Budists or any other people are not a part of the Jewish covenant people.

Read romans 9-11.

The harvest of rev14:14 is Jewish only.

The 7 yr trib is Jacob's trouble, specifically pointing to the Jewish covenant people.

The church is illustrated in Ruth.
The covenant Jews illustrated in Hosea.

Now that you brought it up and since I am attempting to complete a commentary on Revelation, I would like to learn why you believe the 4 cherubim on symbolic of the 4 gospels, This, for me, is not an easy interpretation. The 4 also seem to mirror the 4 sections / groups that surrond the Tabernacle in the wilderness. I am having problems identifying who they are. Are there not 4 cherubin surronding the throne of God but there are only 2 surronding the mercy seat on the Ark. Does the sanctuary mirror the throne room scene in Revelation?

Ok.
So you are unlearned of Daniel.
You want to be taught the prophecy.
Ok I can help.
Dan 9
27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.


Quote
"How can i discuss with wannabe teachers, you had your time and is out."

Plain childish and goofy.
Like I said, either debate or carry that juvenile mess somewhere else.
GIBBERISH!

To top it up, the maniifestation of the fleshly 'arrongance' and 'bully'!

'Time out'!

You started your day in SIN = Three Sins

a.) Slander and False accusation
b.) Adding to God's words
c.) Denying what God said
Who made you judge over the Lord's unworthy servant?

You who judge, do the very same things the ones you accuse of.

You do the very same thing, even the few of you alike, add to GOD's word and etc.

That's why the few of you are in our 'ignore' list, seems like we've nothing in common.

the dark evil of pre-trib = always separates the Jew from the Gentile in CHRIST

There is and always has been One Called Out Assembly = the Church
