But aren’t those 144,000 evangelists preaching the word of God after the Rapture of the church?
These witnesses are testifying to the Coming King.They do this in concert with the Two Prophets who also appear.
The 144000 are proclaiming the soon arrival on Earth of the Messiah Whom Israel rejected. The 144000 will be ‘preaching’ the imminent arrival of the Kingdom because the King will be arriving in a precise amount of time calculable by the signing of the pact with the antichrist. There are also two witnesses and an Angel in this campaign of proclamation.
