    144,000 is a symbolic number signifying the whole of Christianity.

    • Could be - the bible is full of symbolic numbers.

    • Was just for Israel, also spoke of multitudes of gentiles beyond number

    • Sorry, but I disagree. 144,000 is a specific number for a specific group of people.

    • How is 144,000 symbolic of all Christianity? Where are your scriptures to back this claim? Also, why are the "sons of Israel" (Rev. 7:4) specifically mentioned in contrast to "a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages..." (Rev. 7:9)if the 144,000 are indeed symbolic of all Christians? Seems redundant.
