(Eng) Let's imagine the 144,000 in the Book of Revelation through Eastern studies ๐
John opposes the deification of Domitian(A.D.81-96).
Domitian is the 11th emperor of Rome's third dynasty (B.C. 31-A.D. 329) and the mastermind behind the first persecution(A.D.64-97).
In A.D. 95, John is exiled to the island of Patmos in Greece.
Empowered by the Holy Spirit, he records the upcoming tribulation, the second coming of Christ, and the millennial kingdom.
The seven-year Great Tribulation is a symbol of controversy and debate.
Especially, the number 144,000 inserted between the sixth and seventh seals has various interpretations(Revelation7:1-8).
After the seventh trumpet, the 144,000 are mentioned again(Revelation14:1).
Who are the ones passing through the Great Tribulation?
There are various interpretations, divided into majority and minority views.
The majority view is based on the New Testament.
They claim that the chosen ones are Gentiles and Jews who will obtain righteousness anew.
The minority view is based on the Old Testament.
They interpret that the chosen ones are faithful Jews who will endure the tribulation.
They will be selected from the 12 tribes of Israel, with 12,000 from each tribe.
The tribe of Dan, the son of Jacob, is excluded due to idol worship, and the Manasseh tribe, one of Joseph's sons, is included.
Other interpretations based on specific doctrines also abound.
So, who are the 144,000?
I imagine the 144,000 through Eastern studies.
144,000 is the self-natured number in Eastern studies.
144 individuals with self-nature(6) reveal the foundation (6) in all directions (4) (6x4x6=144).
They are followed by 10 highly spiritual disciples (144x10=1,440).
Ten disciples each are appointed, resulting in a total of 14,400 (1,440 x 10).
Each of them also has 10 workers who have reached a significant spiritual level (14,400x10=144,000).
The three mouthsๅฃๅฃๅฃ represent the source of the body's vitality, the spirit, and the essence.
The rain้จ represents the bright ears of truth.
The 144,000 are people who have awakened to the true nature of morality.
They view the world through the mindset of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom.
The shining spirits of the 144,000 illuminate the world.

"A great sign was seen in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun(์ฐ๋ฆฌ์ ่ช็ตๅ), and the moon under her feet, and her head a crown of twelve stars. She was with child. She cried out in pain, laboring to give birth. Another sign was seen in heaven. Behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven crown(์๋ด๋์ฐ์ ๋ฑ ไธๅทณ•ไธ้ฝไน่ ไธ่พฐ•ํ๋ คํ ๋ฌผ์ง๋ฌธ๋ช ). His tail drew one third of the stars of the sky, and threw them to the earth. The dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she gave birth he might devour her child. She gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron(็ฅ็้ต•ๅฆๆๆฃ์ ๋ ๅญซๆ็ฉบ). Her child was caught up to God, and to his throne.
<Revelation 12:1-5>, NIV.
"One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, 'Come here, I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who sits on many waters, with whom the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality, and those who dwell in the earth were made drunken with the wine of her sexual immorality.' He carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-colored animal, full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns(์๋ด๋์ฐ์ ๋ฑ ไธๅทณ•ไธ้ฝไน่ ไธ่พฐ•ํ๋ คํ ๋ฌผ์ง๋ฌธ๋ช ). The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of a boinations and the impurities of the sexual immorality of the earth. And on her forehead aname was written, THE MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATOPNS OF THE EARTH(์ฐ๋ฆฌ์ ่ช็ตๅ•ๅงฆๆทซๅฅณ•ํผ๋์ ๋ฌผ์ง๋ฌธ๋ช )."
<Revelation 12:1-5>, NIV.
"Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watches, and keeps his garments(ๆฌๆง), lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon(ๆฌๆง↔egoism)."
