Who are the 144,000?

The Bible book of revelation refers to a group known as the 144,000. These 144,000 creatures are also known as saints. These saints are men and women who lived a life on the earth and whom Almighty God and His Son, Jesus Christ, are choosing to form a government for the new kingdom. The same kingdom Jesus Christ preached about.

A special opportunity came when Jesus Christ, the Son of God was crucified. He fulfilled the law - an old agreement, or covenant which Moses taught. Instead, a new agreement has now been revealed to mankind through the preaching of Jesus Christ and His Apostles, it is now understood that some people will become a spirit creature, or saint. The saints will make up a special government to direct the new kingdom in perfect righteousness and judgment.

You may ask, "What is the purpose of God only allowing 144,000 people to heaven?" or, "Is not this unfair to all the people who lived before Jesus Christ? Only allowing those who lived after his death to be allowed into heaven?" You may also ask, "If only 144,000 people go to heaven, what will everybody else do?" For answers to these questions, and others, please contact us for additional Bible verses to help prove or disprove these ideas. We encourage discussion and look forward to hearing from you!
