In the seventh chapter of Revelation 144,000 Jews of the twelve tribes of Israel are SEALED for protection. These are sanctified to God for preservation through the terrible persecution of Antichrist over ALL monotheisms.
Their turning to Jesus Christ is at the end of the tribulation. Through it they are still the saints by way of being set aside positionally.
This means that the 144,000 Firstfruits standing with the Lamb on the heavenly Mt. Zion in chapter 14 are not the same group as the 144,000 preserved Jews from the twelve tribes in chapter 7.
The principle of a limited REMNANT is the same.
The nature of the two groups is not.
Through the great tribulation the Christians and the Jews are especially targeted by Antichrist. These are those who keep the commandments of God and those who have the faith of Jesus.
See Revelation 14:12; 12:17;
Rev 14 has the perfect definition of the Saints in Christ. The Elect, the ones chosen to rule with Christ.
Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. (Revelation 14:12 KJV)
