Will the locusts in Revelation 9 be able to hurt the 144,000?
No. Revelation 9's locusts are commanded to hurt only those who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. The 144,000 are sealed, so these demonic creatures cannot touch or harm them; God's judgment targets God-rejecting mankind instead.
Les explains that the locusts of Revelation 9 are commanded not to hurt the grass, any green thing, or any tree, but only men who have not the seal of God in their foreheads. Those sealed ones are the 144,000. He connects this back to Revelation 7:3, where the angels are told not to hurt the earth, sea, or trees until the servants of God are sealed in their foreheads, and then the 12 tribes produce 12,000 each, totaling 144,000. Therefore, these locusts, described as demonic creatures, will not be able to touch the 144,000. Les also notes God has complete control, this is His wrath poured out on God-rejecting mankind, and everything He does is fair and just.
And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
