That's six thousand six hundred and seventy one million total world population (approx) and only one hundred and forty-four thousand are going to heaven The odds of getting into heaven are way against most of us from the start aren't they?
I think we'll have to take heaven by force - this should be easy as we'll way outnumber them.

For all of u who says that's not in the bible U R ALL WRONG! 144000 ppl will rule as kings along with Jesus in heaven, until he gives the throne back to his father. The other ppl will eventually get resurrected into a paradise earth.

DO YOUR RESEARCH! The book of Revelations in the bibles tells of this 144,000. Continue to read even the very next verse and you will have your answer. Revelations 7:5 tells of the 144,000 and breaks it down to the different tribes. But these are the tribes of Isreal. Christ initially came for the Isrealites, but he later extended salvation even to the Gentiles. This is why you and I are able to have salvation. Revelations 7"6 states (in the NIV version) " After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. Theywere wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands." A GREAT MULTITUDE THAT NO ONE COULD COUNT! That is how many people will make Heaven their home! The 144,000 are the ones that are sealed at the end during the tribulation period. Search the scriptures to find the truth about what the Bible teaches.

In Revelation 7:4-10, it shows there are two groups in heaven, one is the 144000 a special chosen group and another great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples and languages. There is not going to be only 144,000 people in heaven.

it is in the king james bible about the 144,000. read also about the ones that will live on the earth forever what Adam and Eve lost. we are not a cult. I am tired of people saying that we are a cult. a cult worships a man and lives in one state. we are in 235 lands and in our own homes and we are not brainwashed. see our website at www.watchtower.org

No ones restricting you from going to Heaven, and you cannot beat Heaven because it's physically impossible to be there. Its only possible when you die and your spirit goes up to join the Father.
There's no telling how many angels are up there anyways.

Hell is large, heaven is small and not intended for a huge population. "Threfore it is appointed unto most men to go to hell and there to suffer eternal torment; for Satan has prepared a place for them." You got a problem with that? By the way, if you don't believe in Jesus, Jesus is not amused.

Nowhere in the Bible does it say that only 144,000 are going to heaven. There is one refeance to that number in the Book of Revelations, and only the stupid Jehovah's Witness cult believe it means the number of those who will be in heaven.

Not to mention that that's just the current population. There have been plenty before us too.
