I read what you post, but my view of Revelation is that it is a symbolic book. Too much of it isn't possible in the real world. Blood to the horses bridle for one. And remember, it was a dream that John had not much different from one I may have except someone doesn't take my dream literally and try to claim it is from God. The JW folks BELIEVE the 144,000 are from their system of belief. I had a rather interesting occurrence take place at a Kingdom hall that a friend had invited me to. They had a communion service. When the "bread" came to me I heard a voice inside my head say take it. So I did. But then after taking it I noticed no one else was which seemed strange to me. Then they passed a chalice full of wine or whatever it was, maybe grape juice. There were a few of these being passed around. Well just before it came my way I heard the voice again say drink of the cup. And I said to the voice, BUT NO ONE ELSE IS! The response floored me because it came at the same second I passed it on...YOU'RE NOT NO ONE ELSE. I shared the story with my friend. He in turn had an "elder" or whatever JW folks call their spiritual leaders come over and listen to my story. He then told me that the spirit would only lead someone who is of the 12 tribes to partake and since I wasn't a JW, I couldn't be one of those. ROTFLMBO! How about the reason I had the instructions given me was because I WAS one of the 144,000 and most likely from Judah.
Anyhow, that's a short story that is based on symbolism. I can't swallow Revelation as being literal. I just can't. For all intents we already have the "mark of the beast" that we have to use to buy sell and trade and they are trying to implement it so they have TOTAL control via digital bs "money" with a social credit score. https://www.courageouslion.us/p/greek-sss-english-666
Bro Revelation calls itself prophecy not a dream journal (Rev 1:3) God’s Spirit never contradicts His Word or flatters the flesh. The 144,000 aren’t a JW club and personal experiences have to pass 1 John 4:1-3 test. Be careful which voice you’re listening to, Babylon specializes in counterfeit communion.
I know, you have it figured out. I don’t. I’ve been working on it for as many years as I’ve been a believer. 53 to be exact. I still haven’t figured it out and I’ve read the bible through at least twice. I’ve got one so marked you can’t hardly read it anymore. So…if you think that the blood is going to be to the horses bridle, please explain to me how that is even anything but an allegory?
As for the mark? Well, this AI insanity may be where the SSS number is actually made into one you can’t breathe without it. What did a little ol’ lady say to me the other night…”When I look at you, I see a LION.” Yes, I’m filled with the Spirit of Yahshua and I am manifesting the LION through His presence.
And I just obtained a book that verifies my suspicion. Why Men Hate Going To Church. The TWO Jesuses. One is the gentle lamb and the other is the LION OF JUDAH. Interesting how my pen name was picked for me over 20 years ago that I use to this day. And my family crest? Naaaa…it’s all coincidence. (Top left on my home page)
I don’t have everything figured out as I study and learn every day, but one thing I’m sure of is that Revelation is a literal invasion from Heaven when the clock reaches the millennial age of 6,000. The "it’s just symbolic" argument benefits the Babylon machine greatly, as it sedates the Church and makes it less glorious and urgent.

If Satan can convince the Church that Revelation is a mere allegory then the Church disarms itself before the final war even starts.
