ok, some things to foster discussion:

7:2-4--And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

questions for discussion: the angels are about to hurt the sea and the earth, once they finish sealing the servants of God in their foreheads. What kind of cruelty is to be expected on the earth and sea? And why?

2. If there are only 144,000 jews going to heaven, then that means a lot of people are going to hell! Who will be the chosen few?

More info on the 144,000:
14:1-4--And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

So the men are not 'defiled with women'. No women among the 144,000?
