144,000 is an ENCODED message saying ALL Israel who repent, just like "The Woman" in Rev. 12, God doesn't pluck out a certain number of people, God uses numbers to tell us specific things however. The 7 Spirits and 7 Eyes in Revelation simply means God sees all and God is omnipotent. We know 6 stands for man, 10 stands for completion, and 12 stands for fulness. We see how God uses these numbers throughout the bible, since the Hebrew language had only 4000 words and no vowels.
Thus the 10 Horns in Daniel 7 and the 10 toes simply means COMPLETE Europe at any given time, no matter how many nations there are/were, the 10 COULD NOT COME BACK TOGETHER, thus in Dan. 2:43 is says they shall try to mingle themselves with one another via the seed of men (Royal Marriage) but they shall not cleave to one another (Europe can not reform as an Empire), because they are like iron and clay. So, when they do give their power unto ONE MAN in the end times, they are still just many nations, this makes them weaker than having one central power, thus they chose to eventually give all of their power to this one man (which is why he is called the Little Horn).
In Rev. 2:10 the Church of Smyrna are told they will have tribulation for 10 days (complete Church Age). The Ten Commandments are a stand in for ALL God's laws. Any time God TIMES something by 10 or 7 He is adding an EMPHASIS on the Completion He is speaking about. Thus when God says he has saved himself 7000 people and He later says there will be 144,000 why do we not understand these are Prophetic utterances that are simply speaking about the COMPLETE number of Jews who repent? It can not be both 7000 and 144,000 but it can be the COMPLETE number thereof, as in 7 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 7000 and 12 (Fulness) x 12 x 10 (Completeness) x 10 x 10 x 10 = 144,000, so its funny to me people can't figure out these simple truths, God is using numbers not CHOOSING a certain number, just like there are not 10 Virgin Brides, the 10 stands for ALL Christendom, why is this so difficult?, because people thought one thing and were in error? I don't get it tbh, if God proves me wrong I don't think of it like that, I think of it as "Hey, God loves me enough He wants to REPROVE me, and TEACH me His truths, I love it, when see I am WRONG, I know I just learned a DEEP TRUTH !!
Now, turning to Zechariah 13:8-9 we do not get he actual number, we get this, 1/3 of the Jews will turn unto God and 2/3 will refuse to repent and will perish, then in the very next verse in Zech. 14:1 we see the DOTL arrives, and since we know Israel has like 10 million Jews living there now 1/3 of that is 3 million, and since there are 15 million Jews living worldwide and more may indeed return to Israel, and a 1/3 of 15 million is 5 million we can only say those who repent and then flee Judea will be between 3-5 million Jews, so I don't just make the numbers up brother.
By the way, the 10,000 x 10,000 in Rev. 9 doesn't mean 200 Million, and its not a Chinese Army either. Its ALL the COMPLETE Hosts of Heaven who brings forth plagues against all those who have taken the Mark of the Beast.
So why are these the First-fruits? Because they are the First-fruits of the Wheat which needs to be Crushed by a TRIBULUM (The Greek word used for a tool/machine which crushes Wheat is where we get the English word Tribulation from), Israel is that wheat. The Church is the Barley, and no Barley does not need to be crushed in order to be sifted, thus Barley never went through the TRIBULUM machine Whet did. Jesus to his Disciples the Jews were the Wheat. The Grape Harvest is demonstrated as God pressing (Judging) the wicked. The Jews celebrated three Harvests the Barley, Wheat and Grapes, God took those three harvests and showed the End Time Events to come, see THIS ARTICLE at Gone Fishing.
THREE MAIN HARVESTS OF SOULS.
https://gone-fishin.org/2012/03/20/three-main-harvests-of-souls/
Jews stay in a resting place until the very end, thus the 144,000 are the very first-fruits of the Wheat, Peter, Paul etc. other Messianic Jews ate a part of the Barley Harvest who did not need Crushing, the Article PROVES THIS. Thus the 144,000 (3-5 million Jews who repent and accept Jesus) will be the First-fruits of the Jews/Wheat. Each grain has a First-fruit, we re the First-fruits of the Barley, in the tribulation period, those Martyred Gentiles will not be a part of the First-fruits of the Barley/Gentile Church, thus in Rev. 12:17 they are called THE REMNANT [Church].
In Leviticus 23:1 the Israelite is instructed to ..."bring to the priest a sheaf of the first grain you harvest". This is barley because it is the first grain to mature.Apr 10, 2007
Read the above Article, Barley DOES NOT need to be crushed in order to be sifted brother. Jesus paints a masterpiece with these Three Harvests !! He gives us his MYSTERY Rapture in his parables/deep truths, we have to dig it out. I just so happen to have been called to do this, its what I do in life. I never stop until I get an answer From God.
No, it is clearly TWO DIFFERENT Harvests, Jesus from upon a cloud thrusts in his Sickle and Harvests his Church (Barley) which can be sifted without being crushed. The Angel comes and Harvests the Grapes in verse 17-20.
Revelation 14:17 And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. 18 And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe. 19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
So, these that are cast into the Wine-press of God's Wrath are the RIPE GRAPES.
In the Three Harvests God shows us the Barley "(Church) the Jews who repent (Wheat) AND the Wicked who refuse to Repent, thus the Harvest Chapter which covers he full 7 years s an apt description.

lets take a look:
rev 7
3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
4 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.
5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.
6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nephthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.
7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.
8 Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
Revelation 14
14 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
no need to say it is not literal number of people.
