144,000 will be saved; question.

You recall what some say about the meanings of the "List of Ten Names" in the chronology spelled out in Genesis 5:3-32a, and how the name-meanings form a sentence (having to do with its pointing toward Christ/about Him)? Some suggest this is also the case with the List of the Tribes here in Rev7 involving "the 144,000" because they are listed here in an order found nowhere else in scripture (and they also say that the order here forms a sentence).

I'm not sure how factual each of these are, but it makes some sense to me! (especially because "names" really carried "meanings" back then)

Well, let's ponder the following verse, and then try to explain "how" THAT could even be the case:

"And these are the names of the twelve apostles: first Simon called Peter, and his brother Andrew; and James the son of Zebedee, and his brother John" Matthew 10:2
