Absolutely. It is a spiritual revelation about spiritual relationship.
I Corinthinas 2:14 "But the natural (carnal, intellectual, philosophical, theological) man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness to him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned."
The Lord only reveals Himself to us by His Spirit in us.

Lol if you're married you're not a virgin man, that's all there is to it. The Bible means what it says, especially the book of Revelation when one considers that last chapter.
If you are not a virgin male then you're not one of 144,000, like sorry, it's just written that way, I didn't write it, but you can still be resurrected. I mean in another sense looking at what Paul says about sanctifying of the spouses and how women are saved in childbirth, that's a pretty nice reward if I may say so. You still get to be a valiant hero saving your pretty princess which is pretty epic, but let the male virgins get their reward too.

Yes in a manner of speaking, posthuman brought this goodly point up yesterday.
It is kinda interesting to think what tribe one might belong to. I suppose go by the personality traits, both the bad and good in the Bible, but I could be wrong about that too. Personally, I hope for Judah, Judah's personal story and the story of his offspring just really resonates with me, both the bad and good.

No, dearheart that's not what it says. Again, we can't fit God's eternal reality into worldly (temporal) terms. Don't lean on your own understanding. There is no flesh that can glory in God's sight, young brother. Remember? Whether married or unmarried, flesh is flesh. That's the dead man. Just because folks are virgins, doesn't make them not carnal. That's pure silliness.
We are crucified with Christ, all of us, virgin or not. It's no longer we ourselves who live, but Christ living in us. The only life that is real for us now is through the faith of the Son of God who loves us and died for us.
Jesus gets all the glory, we get Him. Our reward, our inheritance, our joy is Christ Himself. Every time we take our eyes off of Jesus Christ and look at oursleves for truth, we are blind.

You need to read the Bible some more instead of trying to wrest its meanings away. The Bible is very literal, you either believe what it says, or you don't.
Everyone will indeed be resurrected, and we are indeed God's inheritance, but it says straight up in Revelation 14:4 that 144,000 that they are virgins. Like do I have to really explain what a virgin is? I mean this almost silly. Do I have to explain what Paul says in total clarity in 1 Corinthians 7?
Like sorry lady, you're not oneo f the 144,000, you're not. You're not a virgin and you're not a man, you're not one of the 144,000, but you might be saved in child-bearing it is written in 1 Timothy 2.

I believe they are two different groups..
The 144,000 are innocents from the 12 tribes of Israel who where not in need of cleaning..
The great mulitiude which no man could number are from all the nations and are washed by the blood of the lamb.. Meaning they where not innocents but forgiven Christians..
Revelation 7: KJV
{9} After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; {10} And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. {11} And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, {12} Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen. {13} And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? {14} And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb."

Lol I like that turn of phrase! Anyways, again, you can still be saved, being a virgin or not doesn't nullify nor grant your ultimate salvation. The 144,000 are simply special, they get a special reward. It says point blank they are virgins. Be a lil logical here, you are worldly, the married are worldly, you got your reward all ready. A wife is a gift! Just the same that honor given to the 144,000 male virgins is a gift. There's different gifts!
