Apostle Peter exhorting his audience following after the outpouring of the Holy Spirit refers to the promise: " For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." (Acts.2 39) St Paul asks, "But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world." (Rom.10.18; Isa 55.11" St Paul heard it on his way to Damascus and we all heard according to earth time and places from one end of the globe to another. Is time and place of any consequence to God? No. The Spirit is giving us the truth from the POV of the Father and of the Son. None other than what Jesus declared."I am the truth. In the world of the Spirit it is thus we have 144,000 sanctified one and 144,000 martyrs who came, "and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb." These two groups in the blood of the Lamb are the elect. They were called and in his Son are the elect. So being first or the last does not mean a thing. These two groups are presented in v.2 . The Spirit moved upon the face of the waters. There is is another group over whom darkness reign still. (Gen.1.1-2)
The number 144,000 is a total count: the generation of Jesus Christ is the body which was being continuously fashioned. (Ps.139.15-16)On the second group where darkness hovers over, had their chance. They had no faith. "for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him./For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Jesus brought gospel of his Father made it his gospel by his death on the cross. By his resurrection God the Father established the gospel of Jesus Christ. As he was sent so sent he disciples. (Mt.28.18-20; Jn.20.21-22) The risen Christ anointing them has a different meaning than in the case of Adam.(Gen.2.7-8)
" For many are called, but few are chosen."
