Answer Details
According to the book of Revelation in the Bible, 144,000 Jews were sealed. In Revelation, chapter 7, John describes seeing "four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth," and another angel "ascending from the east" who is instructed to seal the servants of God on their foreheads. The seal is meant to protect them from harm during the end times. John goes on to describe the ones who were sealed as "144,000 from all the tribes of Israel." He lists the tribes by name and the number of individuals sealed from each tribe, with 12,000 being sealed from each tribe. The list of tribes and numbers is as follows: - Judah: 12,000 - Reuben: 12,000 - Gad: 12,000 - Asher: 12,000 - Naphtali: 12,000 - Manasseh: 12,000 - Simeon: 12,000 - Levi: 12,000 - Issachar: 12,000 - Zebulun: 12,000 - Joseph: 12,000 - Benjamin: 12,000 So in total, 144,000 individuals from the 12 tribes of Israel were sealed according to the book of Revelation.
