Next. “The second variant, the second mention in Revelation. The first is
Revelation 7, the second is Revelation 14. So, Revelation 14:1–5 represents the
middle of the apocalyptic events. Point one: Here, the 144,000 are shown on Mount
Zion with the Lamb, and they are described as redeemed, pure, and following
Christ. This occurs after the description of the beast and his power (Revelation 13),
but before the final ‘harvest of the earth’ (Revelation 14:14–20) and before the
bowls of wrath (Revelation 15–16). Another point: Their position on Mount Zion
may be symbolic (a heavenly or spiritual scene) or indicate their participation in
events on earth during the apocalypse. They are already ‘redeemed from the earth,’
which may mean their spiritual salvation, but not necessarily physical departure
from the earth. Point three: After the mention of the 144,000, a ‘great multitude’
appears. In Revelation 7:9–17, immediately after the description of the 144,000,
it speaks of a multitude of people from all nations standing before the throne
of God in white robes. They are described as those who have ‘come out of the great
tribulation’ (Revelation 7:14), which indicates their salvation after passing
through the tribulations. Some theologians believe that the 144,000 are a specific
group within or preceding this multitude. However, the text does not clarify
their exact connection.”

Regarding the last third point offered by ChatGPT: it’s true, perhaps it’s
about the fact that I wrote the fourth volume about the underworld, was
in the underworld, then in the realm of the dead in the fifth volume,
then fought Mara, fought one beast, then another beast... and maybe this
number 144 is about the fact that — since it says they are redeemed after
the great tribulation, after the hardships — maybe, as I assumed in one
theoretical version, if I am going through all of this in miniature, then
it will later be reflected in the real socio-material world. Perhaps those
people who are “close” to God (to the system) have already cognized
all this, cleansed themselves, and it has all happened as if in theory, in
the world of spirits. And now it will be reflected materially and socially
upon the whole world. But it will no longer affect me, for example; it will
affect the entire world. First, it was in miniature with me and my books.
That could be one version. But the essence is that these are already cleansed
people who are in no danger and who, as I understand it, are under God.
