I must respectfully disagree with you.

The 144,000 Israelites that are sealed in chapter 7 are 12,000 from each tribe of Israel. These will be protected during the tribulation times from the trumpet and bowl judgments. They will survive through this time of judgment here on the earth. It does not say that they are all male virgins, it just says 12,000 from each tribe. It is likely that they are men and women of Israel. They are seen on earth.

The 144,000 from chapter 14 are different. It plainly states the these 144,000 are chosen from among men (from every nation) and are male, and virgins. It says that they follow the Lamb (Jesus) wherever He goes, and that they sing a song that only they know. These are redeemed from among men as first fruits to God. They are seen in Heaven.

These two groups are clearly different.

The 12 tribes of Israel ceased to exist long ago. The bloodlines are all intermarried and some may have been eradicated completely.
