What is the meaning of the 144,000 in Revelation?

Answered in 1 source

The 144,000 represents a symbolic number of God's elect, encompassing believers from all nations and tribes.

In Revelation 7, the 144,000 mentioned symbolizes the fullness of God's elect people, depicting a perfect and complete number rather than a literal count of individuals. This representation highlights that these individuals come from every nation and tribe, affirming that God's saving grace extends beyond ethnic boundaries. The passage demonstrates that all believers, whether Jew or Gentile, are included in God's plan for redemption, ultimately forming a great multitude that no one can number.
