How do we explain the sealing of 144,000 in Revelation?

Answered in 1 source

The 144,000 represents the complete church of God, sealed by Him for protection and salvation.

In Revelation, the figure of 144,000 is often interpreted as symbolizing the entire completed church of the Lord Jesus Christ rather than a literal count. This number is derived from 12 tribes of Israel multiplied, representing fullness and completeness. It signifies that God's people, chosen and sealed before the foundation of the world, are securely held by Him. The sealing of these individuals indicates God's sovereign purpose and plan for their protection in the face of divine judgment, exemplifying that those who are saved have been marked by God. It points to the understanding that salvation is a work of God alone, not influenced by human decision but firmly rooted in divine grace.
