Not true.


I have it on good authority* the actual number is 623,459 - mostly Canadians. Sorry eh.

You've never studied Revelation? Have you read it?

As you might imagine, there are any number of varying interpretations of the book. The first thing to remember when reading it is that it is about the REVELATION of JESUS CHRIST.

No. The idea that only 144,000 people will go to heaven is Jehovah's Witnesses nonsense. It's a false teaching. The following site will provide you with information on the 1444,000. It's good that you want to study Revelation.

But Rev does not list the actual 12 tribes or the National 12 tribes. Symbolic in Rev not literal at all.

The 144k do not go to “heaven”

They are of the tribes that rule the earth

“Heaven” is Gods throne =ruling

“Earth” is Gods footstool = those that are subjects in the “kingdom”

NOT INDIVIDUALS

Not a good idea. It will be more of a stumbling block than an aid to a knowledge of God.
