Summary/Abstract: The number 144.000 is one of the most mysterious numbers in the Bible that appears only in the book of Revelation. This research attempts through the exegetical analysis of two visions (Rev. 7:1-8 and Rev. 14:1-5) to identify the identity of that group of people. The thesis of this research is that the number 144.000 represents the people of God in the end time, and the scenes of these two visions present God’s people in two different circumstances or historic moments.
