There is a TV series called "The 4400". I've heard that the number "4400" comes from the bible. Anyone know where it is in the bible and what it refers to?

He talks about a Pre-tribulation Rapture and the Tribulation is that seven-year period of judgment on earth – Revelation chapters 6 to 18 – because we go up in chapter 4 and it only begins in chapter 6. We call it a pre-tribulation Rapture and the Rapture is I Thessalonians 4 verses 16 to 18, when the dead in Christ rise and the living go up with them to meet the Lord in the air and all in the twinkling of an eye, I Corinthians 15:52.
However, during the seven-year period of Tribulation, the greatest revival in history occurs as 144,000 evangelists swarm the world in Revelation 7 verses 4 to 8, and they are preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom – Matthew 24:14. The King is coming and a multitude like the sands of the sea, Revelation 7:9, is converted and verse 14 says, “They came out of the Great Tribulation and washed their robes, made them white in the blood of the Lamb." Because of it, death comes to those new converts during that seven-year period in Revelation 6:9, 13:50 and Revelation 20 verse 4. Now Christ comes back with His saints, Jude 14, and Daniel 12:2 - the Old Testament Jews are raised and at that point, all those who died during the Tribulation are also raised. I hope that answers your question.

We just studied this in church. It's in Revelations. During the Tribulation (period of time when God judges the earth after he comes back) He has chosen 4400 Jews as his chosen people to remain free from judgement. Don't know much more about it, I've never been good at taking notes, but you'll find it in the first couple of chapters in Revelations in the bible. Or to get a better answer, E-mail pastor Lance Cook at Calvary Chapel La Habra. He knows this stuff inside and out. And he'll give you a real answer from the bible.

144,000 is the term in the Bible and no one knows for sure who they are, although many speculate. The Bible doesn't specifically say who they are. The TV series is something different.

They are the remant out of Israel who are sealed during the great tribulation. But it's 144,000 not 4400.

There is mention of 144,000 in Revelation and they are faithful Jews from all 12 tribes.

Well, the only thing I can really think of is the 144,000 witnesses at the time of revelation.
