Why is it tought that 144,000 of the tribes of Israel will witness on earth during the tribulation?

Good luck finding virgin males. There will be NO tribulation. Just live your life with hope and love.

Hopefully those Gods of hate, fear, and war will go away.

You have the wrong knowledge. The 144,000 is already in heaven that was saved from the 12 tribes of Israel under the old testament covenant. The great tribulation shall not take place until the 3ed of the 7 hidden seals is open by Jesus Christ.It shall be 144,000 virgin men that shall come forth,and not 12000.

First...there are 144,000 virgins not defiled by women. Rev.14:3-5 also read 2Corin 11:2 & Dan.12The virgins are symbolic of spiritual purity I would think their life were a witness to GOD. The witnesses (two) Rev.11:1-14 also Dan.8:10.

This doesn't really answer my question. Many churches teach that this group of 144,000 thousand will witness to the lost during the tribulation. My question regards where this teaching comes from biblically.

I do not believe that the reference to their all being virgins is a symbolic one. This is a literal choosing of 144,000 males who are without guile and are virgins scripture does not state that these individuals are adults or children. When we see them mentioned again they are in God's temple.

I can not find any other reference biblically regarding these people.

Revelation 7, you will notice there are 12 tribes listed, Ephraim and Manasseh are listed instead of Joesph, which leaves Dan out because they left their territory allotted to them in Joshua 19 and moved up North next to the pagans and were the first tribe to introduce idolatry to Israel. Rev 7:4 calls them the servants of God, they will be Jewish evangelists and then 7:9 tells of the great numbers of souls saved from their ministry.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
