    They're not ALL Jews. The Jews are only of the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, & Levi.

    I more-than-adequately answered earlier. And the 4 'Gospels' in the KJV (NOT "KJB") are all different from each other. "Things that are different are not the same".

    You're unable to provide any SCRIPTURAL SUPPORT for your KJVO myth, so I consider it & any pro-KJVO junk you may post as chaff.

    Which of the following named tribes are not Jews?
    Rev 7:4 KJV - 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.
    Rev 7:5 KJV - Of the tribe of Juda [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad [were] sealed twelve thousand.
    Rev 7:6 KJV - Of the tribe of Aser [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthalim [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses [were] sealed twelve thousand.
    Rev 7:7 KJV - Of the tribe of Simeon [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar [were] sealed twelve thousand.
    Rev 7:8 KJV - Of the tribe of Zabulon [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin [were] sealed twelve thousand.

    Who are the 144,000?
    So the answer to the question “who are the 144,000?” will depend on which interpretive approach you take to the book of Revelation. With the exception of the futurist approach, all of the other approaches interpret the 144,000 symbolically, as representative of the church and the number 144,000 being symbolic of the totality—i.e., the complete number—of the church. Yet when taken at face value: “Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel” (Revelation 7:4), nothing in the passage leads to interpreting the 144,000 as anything but a literal number of Jews—12,000 taken from every tribe of the “sons of Israel.” The New Testament offers no clear cut text replacing Israel with the church.

    I find no support for your position, biblical or extra-biblical. Please provide supportive resources, biblical or otherwise, to validate your stated belief.
