What does the Bible say about the 144,000 in Revelation?

Answered in 3 sources

The 144,000 in Revelation symbolizes the entirety of God's elect, representing the true Israel of God, redeemed through Christ's blood.

In Revelation 7, the 144,000 are described as those sealed by God from all the tribes of Israel. However, this number is symbolic, not literal, representing the complete people of God, both from the Old and New Testaments. Scripture interprets the true Israel as a spiritual nation, consisting of believers from all nations who trust in Christ's redemptive work. These are not merely a select few but signify the fullness of God's elect, robed in righteousness, affirming that their salvation is solely through Christ's sacrifice.
