Revelation asks the haunting question: who can stand when Jesus returns? As people from all walks of life flee in terror from the Lamb's wrath, God provides an answer through the sealing of His people. The 144,000 represents complete victory - God's ability to transform anyone regardless of their background or character flaws. The great multitude comes out of tribulation by washing their robes in the blood of the Lamb, which means surrendering daily to Christ and allowing Him to break the power of sin in their lives. Through constant communion with God and daily surrender, believers can be prepared to stand without fear when Christ returns in glory.
