Are the 144,000 sealed Jews the same as the tribulation remnant?

No, the 144,000 sealed Jews are not the same as the tribulation remnant. They are a totally different group, sealed by God at the start of the tribulation to take the gospel of the kingdom, the same message Jesus began preaching in Matthew. The remnant is distinct.

Les explains that the 144,000 sealed Jews are not the tribulation remnant; they are a totally different group. He notes that at the beginning of the tribulation period, God immediately sealed 144,000 young Jews. Their role is to take the gospel of the kingdom, the same gospel Jesus began preaching in Matthew when He said 'the kingdom of heaven is at hand.' The remnant is a separate group from these sealed Jews.
