The 144,000 are the jewish people left during the tribulation to minister to the people,and a time where Jews may recieve there Messiah,12 tribes of Israel with 12,000 = the 144,000, since they missed him the first time. This is to the best of my knowledge.
I don't believe in a secret rapture,if christians would notice the signs in the bible of the Lords return,
the Rapture, they would be looking for him.
No one knows the day or the hour,but is commanded of us to know even at the door. Most christians look at you funny when you bring up bible prophecy, and a lot of churches skip over ezekiel,daniel and revelation,because they say its too negative and they don't need to know. Remember,Mega inspirational churches today are all about the Love.
