“And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.”
And I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred forty-four thousand, sealed from every tribe of the people of Israel — the 144,000 (12,000 from each of twelve tribes, verse 5) represents the fullness of God's covenant people, Israel and church together, sealed for protection. The number (arithmos) is not approximate; divine mathematics conveys completeness and purposefulness.
