The 144000 is the translated ones, without tasting death,(Henockh/Elijah type). Who are they? The are the fist fruits for the Lamb, the spiritual Yisra-EL, that spreaded all aver the world.
Elijah was a type of the 144,000. We read in PK 227 that "Elijah was a type of the saints who will be living on the earth at the time of the second advent of Christ, and who will be 'changed, in a moment in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump' ( I Cor. 15:51, 52), without tasting of death. It was as a representative of those who shall be thus translated, that Elijah, near the close of Christ's earthly ministry, was permitted to stand with Moses by the side of the Saviour on the mount of transfiguration. . . And there also stood Elijah, representing those who at the close of earth's history will be changed from mortal to immortal, and be translated to heaven without seeing death." Concerning Moses we read: "Moses, representing those who will be raised from the dead at the time of the second advent. "- Ibid. Surely we cannot misunderstand these plain statements.
