What a limited perspective, for God...I mean, the infinite can only deal with 144,000. in his heaven, and a bit more on earth? there are 6,000,000,000 people on earth, and over 6,000,000,000 people born prior to today. Out of all those people, only 144,000 get into heaven?i think you are talking about those who will be going to heaven with Jesus , they will be resurrected with a spiritual body to live in heaven with Jesus , but as the bible teaches , those ones who will be resurreced will only be a little flock , infact there will only be 144,000 of them , that is why Jesus said they were a LITTLE FLOCK.
"Have no fear, little flock, because your Father has approved of giving you the kingdom."—LUKE 12:32.
But that does not mean that the rest of us of mankind ,will have no hope of everlasting life , because Jesus spoke of some OTHER SHEEP ,
"I have other sheep, which are not of this fold;those also I must bring, and they will listen to my voice, and they will become one flock, one shepherd."—JOHN 10:16.
both of these 2 sets of sheep are listening to Jesus voice , and they have the one shepherd .
and it is those other sheep that will have the chance and the hope to live in a PARADISE EARTH FOR EVER . matthew 5;5
psalm 37;.29.....psalm 37;11
here are some of those OTHER SHEEP spoken of in REVELATION 7;9-10 and it is a numberless GREAT CROWD .
and notice they are all waving their symbolic palm branches to welcome Jesus as a reigning king![]()
Think maybe, that might be one of the reasons people want nothing to do with that concept...too much competition for God's attention. Especially if such a God would think so little of the rest of his creation as to make them but dust.
The 144,000 sound like "perfect" specimens, sort of like eugenics on a Godly scale...the rest? Well, prototypes are just that...
