This Israel of God, the elect, are the same 144000 in Revelation 7:4 and are all the church, of the wilderness and Pentecost. Composed of both ex Jews and ex gentiles. These are the first fruits of God, symbolized in Leviticus 23:17 by two loaves of bread, one for the root of the olive tree and one for the branches in Romas 11:7 Romans 11:16-17 This truly is a little flock. It is only the first of many to follow in the millennium and second resurrection. All of these groups are compared to three measures of meal by Jesus in Matthew 13:33 Many are called but few are chosen Revelation 14:3-4 Isaiah 65:17-26 Isaiah 65:9-15 John 10:16
