Hello friends! If you've been keeping up with the posts, then you know that I have been studying the End Times Timeline. I came across the 144 thousand that's spoken about, and most people are confused about them so I wanted to bring some clarity to them. The 144 thousand are a subsection of believers that are especially empathetic, know of the goodness of God, and are chosen to stay during the tribulation and preach the gospel. They will be given a mark on their foreheads to signify who they are, and given supernatural royal power in order to crush their enemies. They will survive and make it all the way through the Tribulation. They will be raptured with the Church and they will be trained and given power during their training. Then after that, they will go back down to earth to fight and win souls for the Kingdom during the Tribulation. They will be the protectors of the souls that they help to save, and they will be the people who stand in between the living and the dead like Aaron was for the Israelites in Numbers. They won't be affected by the events in the Tribulation (for the most part because some stuff affects the sky) and God will protect them. They will also announce the Lord's arrival at the Second Coming and rule with Him for a thousand years. But AS YALL KNOW I'm not gone tell you nothing without a scripture so let's get into that.
☆They Will Have A Mark

They will be my powerful war-horses. From among them will come rulers, leaders, and commanders to govern my people. The people of Judah will be victorious like soldiers who trample their enemies in the mud of the streets. They will fight because the Lord is with them, and they will defeat even the enemy cavalry.

Then the dazzling light of the presence of the God of Israel rose up from the winged creatures where it had been, and moved to the entrance of the Temple. The Lord called to the man dressed in linen, “Go through the whole city of Jerusalem and put a mark on the forehead of everyone who is distressed and troubled because of all the disgusting things being done in the city.” And I heard God say to the other men, “Follow him through the city and kill. Spare no one; have mercy on no one. Kill the old men, young men, young women, mothers, and children. But don't touch anyone who has the mark on his forehead. Start here at my Temple.” So they began with the leaders who were standing there at the Temple.
