GOD Usually speak symbolically, so when He told Eliyah that he had 7000 that have not
Kissed Baal, nor worshipped Baal... That would not be literal 7, 000 Israelites
And the when he said that 7 women will hold the skirt of a man asking that they answer his name just to belong to a man as married, GOD Would not mean 7 literal women and a single man
Nor that of Zachariah 8: 23 ... Where only 10 men from the Nations will hold the skirt of a single Jewish man telling him that they will go with him to worship GOD with him.
Or the 24 Elders mentioned in revelation having Kingly crowns on their heads and sitting on throne ( Revelation )
Or the New Jerusalem, which is the city of GOD also called the Lamb's wife in revelation 21: 9--21 which will be coming out of heaven to our Earth having the names of the 12 tribes of Israel and the names of the 12 Apostles of YASHUA MESSIAH
So the 144,000 to me is a symbolic number, of certain ones among christians that GOD will select for certain roles along with THE MESSIAH
They along with the great crowd are sealed ones of GOD for
Revelation 9: 4 showed that
the kingly locust band under King Abaddon their leader were commanded not to torture anyone that has GODS Seal on his forehead
So if the Great crowd are not sealed , they too would be victims of their
torments... Which is unlikely or else these would not survive the Great Tribulation
Ezekiel 9: 4
So Revelation 7: 1--4,
sealing comprises both the Symbolic 144, 000 and the Great crowd. Whose sealing was not announced. But were seen immediately the great Tribulation wind of destruction was unleashed
Yes after the 144,000 are another unnumbered group of sealed ones of GOD
With salvation hope on YAHOWAH GOD THE FATHER and the Lamb YAHSHUA MESSIAH
Revelation 7: 9,--10
So
