Will only 144,000 people go to heaven?

They are the ones "bought from the earth" as Revelation 14:3 says. They would obviously be individuals that spent their life on earth in loyal service to God. As far as what they will do there, Revelation 20:6 says: “They will be priests of God and of the Christ, and will rule as kings with him for the thousand years.”

shepreach,

The explanation about the tribes differing lies in what we know from the scriptural accounts of each tribe. We know from Genesis 49: 3,4 that Reuben lost his right as firstborn by his misconduct.

Then Joseph (the firstborn son of Jacob through his second, but favorite, wife Rachel) gained the privileges of firstborn son, including the right to have two parts, or portions, in Israel, according to Genesis 48:21,22.

So in the Revelation list “Joseph” evidently stands for Ephraim. And Manasseh represents Joseph’s second portion in spiritual Israel.

Now, the tribe of Levi is listed; to make room for Levi without increasing the number of tribes, no tribe of Dan is included in Revelation 7:4-8, but apparently not because of any unsuitability on Dan’s part. The inclusion of Levi would also serve to show that there is no special priestly tribe in spiritual Israel, the entire spiritual nation being “a royal priesthood”, according to 1 Peter 2:9.

7th trump, Paul said something, Conrinthins

ah...here

1Co 15:52 - Show Context
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

Some people say, the Roman Trumpet, 3 sounds, completely ubiblical, Jesus comes back at 777, 7 vile, 7seal, 7 trump

Paul Says

2 Thessalonians 2:3-12

3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

6 And now ye know what withholdeth F5 that he might be revealed in his time.

7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Satan always plays Jesus, morning star, here...Jesus says

Mt 24:15 - Show Context
When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

Mr 13:14 - Show Context
But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:

Read Daniel, Jesus himself ended up visiting him, don't believe me, Come on, White hair, eyes of fire, cloak dipped in blood. Same description in Revelation, This is the King of King and Lord of Lords. If you ask me, I will post you lazy lazy, I would write a third lazy, but i'm lazy.

Yes, you are correct.

The 144,000 will be the servants of God giving the Last Warning message to the people of earth just before Jesus comes again.

They will carry the "Everlasting Gospel" of Revelation 14:6-12 during the 'Mark of the Beast' scenerio, (Verse 9-11).
