How do Anglicans interpret the great crowd (144,000) of Revelation 7?
score:1
Accepted answer
From an Anglican Commentary on the whole Bible. "The complete number of God's people....and that a large one (144,000 is the square of 12 a thousandfold) is being gathered together for everlasting safety. The Church of Christ is spoken of in OT language....the tribe of Dan is not mentioned perhaps because of a Jewish tradition that Antichrist was to come from this tribe: source: A Commentary on the Holy Bible by Various Writers, edited by the Rev. J.R. Dummelow M.A., Queens' College, Cambridge
