How do we know the 144,000 in Revelation are God's elect?

Answered in 1 source

The 144,000 represent God's elect, showcasing that they are sealed and redeemed through Christ's sacrifice.

The identity of the 144,000 is understood through biblical typology and divine election. In Revelation 14, this number symbolizes God's chosen people rather than a literal count. The sermon notes that the 144,000 are a figure representing the totality of those chosen by God, aligning with biblical themes of election seen in passages like John 6:37, where Christ speaks of those drawn to Him by the Father. Additionally, references to the vastness of God's people in passages like Jeremiah 33:22 suggest that the number 144,000 is not a limitation but a typological expression of God's uncountable elect. This concept highlights God’s sovereignty in choosing His people before the foundation of the world, as stated in 2 Timothy 1:9.
