How is it possible that scripture can say the 144 000 people are the same as a great multitude of people that cannot be numbered? How can people who are not named and not numbered be the same as people who are specifically named and specifically numbered?
@princewhite405 This is apocalyptic imagery depicting the full compliment of God’s people So Christianity began as a small set of faithful Jews but expanded throughout the world, drawing in people from every tribe, tongue, and nation. This is how the first century church grew. Of course, more and more are being added to this day, and will continue on to the second appearance of Jesus to judge the living and the dead..
So we just take our own interpretation at this point? This follows the path of every replacement theology. God has always kept a remnant and echoes such throughout the Bible.
"Replacement theology" is a derogatory term for what has been a mainstream Christian belief from the jump: The Church is the new Israel. People who think God has two chosen people are missing what the New Testament makes abundantly clear. One flock, one shepherd. And, no, we don't take our own interpretation at this point: A proper interpretation of Holy Scriptures involves learning how they were understood by the church fathers rather than how they were understood by 19th century dispensationalists.

That is your interpretation not biblical

The Palestinians.
@BebeBonet Interesting take. What is the reasoning for that identification of the 144,000?
