144,000 from 12 tribes.
This 144,000 business ... is this the same reference that Jehovah's Witnesses believe in, or are they taking their source from a different myth?

is there any other book you can use to compare this answer? why is the bible the only book out there that has the story of our beginning and possible end has no other writings of that time been recorded? it is very strange to me why this is the only book that survived all these years no one challenges this book or is there others that we do not know about and if so why are they not available for us to read. no i do not know how many jews will go to heaven how does the bible know and by the way what other religions read the bible nbesides the christians really how many others compared to the world population

The bible doesn't say how many will go to heaven.....
FYI 144,000 = 12 x 12 x 1000
12 = 12 tribes of israel
12 = 12 churches of Christ (founded by the 12 apostles)
1000 = a number that means Many, Many, Many.
So do the math, so to speak.

Whose heaven? Christian or Jewish? I'm sure all of the Jews will go to their own heaven. A question like this and many of the answers are religiously chauvinist and Christian-biased. You are judging all based on yourself, not like God does which is on the individual.

According to the bible, everyone goes to the Heaven.
2Cr 5:8 We are confident, [I say], and willing rather to be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord.

as many as accepts that Jesus is Lord... God wants none to perish-- for all to enter in to the kingdom of heaven. The Jews are His chosen peoples.
They will enter into Heaven those who follow the Torah...

Going to be some real surprises thats for sure -
144,00 are from spiritual Israel and they are not all Jews and certainly not from the 12 tribes.

The last outpouring of saved Children of Israel is foretold at 144,000----12,000 each from the 12 Tribes of Israel. This will be in the last days during the Tribulation.

Romans 11;26, And so all Israel shall be saved, as it is written:
There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer, and shall turn away
ungodliness out of Jacob. Only the Lord knows how many Jews
receive salvation. But I'm thinking beaucoup beaucoup BEAUCOUP!!!!!
I Corinthians 13;8a, Love never fails!!!!!
GO ISRAEL!!! HALLELUJAH!!! JESUS IS LORD!!!!!
