The 144K are God's Elect, sealed with His truth on their foreheads which is another way of saying, in their minds. This number is significant in that God prefers to do battle against big odds with a small army so that He gets all the glory. The 144K are from all 12 tribes which we know are spread out all over the world. Therefore, there will be a select group of Christians of Jewish decent from all over the world left after the slaughter of those Christians who were deceived by Antichrist. They will battle Satan and do great exploits.
I firmly believe the story of Gideon's army can give us some insight here. If we look back we see Gideon started out with 32,000 men but this number was reduced to just 300 men or roughly 0.94%.
There are approximately 15.3 million Jews in the world today with 85% in Israel and the USA alone. If you divide 144,000 by 15.3 million you get 0.94%. Pretty cool if you ask me.
The top 10 countries containing Jews account for 96.4% of the world's total.
