REVELATION—NOTE ON Revelation 14:4 have not defiled themselves with women, for they are virgins. Soldiers often avoided having sex during the wars God commanded (see Deuteronomy 23:9; 1 Samuel 21:5). The 144,000 (Revelation 14:3) represent believers of both sexes who die in faith and are gathered as firstfruits for God, foreshadowing a greater harvest.
