The 144,000 and the Great Crowd: Characteristics

Introduction

In chapter 7 of the book of Revelation, we find the description of two groups of people. The first is identified as the 144,000, and the second is called the Great Crowd. This study does not aim to identify who these two groups are, but merely to present the characteristics of the 144,000 and the great crowd. May the reader and student of the Scriptures consider these characteristics in their studies on this subject, thus facilitating research and study of it.
