Hey Joe,

I would agree that the Saints refer to the 144,000, but the part where you say the 144K nowadays refers to a countless multitude, is a bit off the scriptural mark. The same Revelation 7 you refer to speaks of the sealing of the 144K in verses 1 - 8, then in verse 9 using the phrase "after this" or after the sealing of the 144K "I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count." This shows that the countless multitude are a distinct and separate group from the 144K. The countless multitude make up the meek that will inherit the earth. Revelation 14:3 states "No one could learn the song except the 144,000", and Revelation 5:9, 10 referring to the 144K when it says: " And they sang a new song" ends verse 10 stating that the role the 144K play in the heavens is to kingdom and to be priests reigning over the earth. Two distinct destinies but both enjoyable satisfying realms of salvation, for the smaller group reign with Christ in the heavens in the very presence of God, and for the countless multitude, endless life on a paradise earth, that was originally intended for our first parent Adam, where God promise such things as can be read about in Revelation 21:1-5, Psalms 37:29, and Psalms 145:16.
