kross - I am not obi-wan, but ... I too would like to know who these 144,000 are, but whether physical or spiritual descendants of Abraham, *why* are the twelve tribes in Rev different from the original twelve tribes ? And does this help us determine if they are physical or spiritual descendants ... ? P.S. - How come every time I sign my name, it is replaced with a smiley face ... ? I think your name is code for "really strange face" I am a believer that the 144,000 are physical, members of the tribe of Israel who will be kept pure by GOD. I lean that way too, but not becuase I think the Church is already gone. Any thoughts on my question about the 12 tribes being different from the 12 sons of Abraham? ''
