144,000 left behind no one else? PLEASE CLARIFY!?
I am reading from a easy to read Bible and it says in revelations chapter 14 "Then I looked and there before me was the lamb, who was standing on Mount Zion there were 144,000 people with him.They all had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads and I heard a sound from heaven as loud as the crashing of floodwaters or claps of thunder. But it sounded like harpists laying their harps. The people sang a new song before the throne and before the four living beings and the elders.* The only ones who could learn the new song were the 144,000 who had been bought from the earth. No one else could learn it. These are the ones who did not do sinful things with women. They kept themselves pure. Now they will follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were bought from among the people of the earth as the first to be offered to God and the Lamb. They are not guilty of telling lies; they are without fault." Does this mean that among those left behind only the 144,000 could enter heaven? Also does the mark of the beast happen before or after the rapture? Could you also explain what the rapture is? Are we living in it? Because apparently the mark of the beast is already being distributed to animals.

Most experts agree that the rapture happens first; could take place any time, even right now.
With all the born again Christians gone from the earth, Satan will try to take over.
A leader who seems perfect will come on the scene (satan incarnate). He will have lots of good answers, things will seem better...Eventually all the yet unsaved people will believe he is God, he will declare himself God, he will sit on a throne and be worshipped as God...for 3 1/2 years. He require all to get a mark of some kind on their body. That, among other things, will cause people to realize he is satan/antiChrist and the image he forces them to worship is the beast.
The next 3 1/2 years will be the horrible tribulation, worse than anyone could possibly imagine. God will set aside 144,000 Jews, young men, still virgins (not Jehovah's Witnesses) who will believe in the Messiah and tell other jews about Him because up til now, jews believe Jesus was a good man but not the Messiah. Those 144,000 will be protected and not die in the trib.
At the end of the trib, Godless nations will all come against Israel to destroy it, but God Himself will stop them by killing them all (mostly Muslims, apparently).
The sky will open up and Jesus comes down with His angels and those who have been raptured. He sets up His kingdom on earth.

If you're reading the Living Bible, may I suggest graduating up to a New King James Version. It is very easy to read; Walmart has them.
Another way to learn more about all this is Christian TV: John Hagee, End Times, Last Days...PTL and Daystar. So much good info there..so much to learn. Isn't knowing Jesus wonderful!!???

You apparently are reading a Jehovah's Witness bible which is not what the Christian
bible says. That version was written by the JW's founder, who has fooled his
followers into believing that.
Go and read a Christian bible and you will see that the 144,000 were witnesses that
are to be sent to earth during the tribulation to preach the gospel to the Jews for 3 1/2
years. That is the original way it was written.

144000 are converted israelites,after antichrist is revealed to them after the rapture of the church, the rapture is rev chapter 4 verse 1, the word church is written 19 times from chapters 1 through 5,after that the 4 horsemen are the beginning of the 7 tribulation,the word church is no longer written all 7 years,because it is gone! the mark is already in operation or at least the system,I believe the final step will include a oath or signature of loyality to antichrist and a mark in mid way ,this will condemn the soul forever! the reason I say oath is because to force a mark on kids or unwilling would not be binding to God.(my thoughts)

Go to the King James Version and will tell you. The 144.000 are all Jews from the 12 tribes of Israel. All are young men and having not had sex with a woman. That is all the information given in the Bible. They are chosen by Jesus for a special task. What this task is we don't know. It could be a government post or a police matter of hunting those people that remain with the Mark of the Beast that are in hiding.
