“Footnotes: virgins: metaphorically, because they never indulged in any idolatrous practices, which are considered in the Old Testament ot be adultery and fornication. Parallel passages indiate that they 144,000 whose foreheads are sealed represent all Christian people.”

Then are the “great multitude” not Christian also? The 144,000 group are said to sing a new song which no one else could sing and are called the “first fruits” of those ransomed by Christ’s sacrifice.
