Where did you ever get the idea that means invited to heaven? Talk about making assumptions.

And I suppose you have another verse about the 144,000 who will be going to heaven....

And you are betting your eternal life on these few verses and you are so sure you know what they mean and you cannot be mistaken. Of course if you are right that means that all the other Christians who believe they are going to heaven are wrong, yet you are both reading the same Bible...

I guess you do not understand the logical problem this presents.

Jesus told his apostles.
14 “Do not let YOUR hearts be troubled. Exercise faith in God, exercise faith also in me. 2 In the house of my Father there are many abodes. Otherwise, I would have told YOU, because I am going my way to prepare a place for YOU. 3 Also, if I go my way and prepare a place for YOU, I am coming again and will receive YOU home to myself, that where I am YOU also may be. ''
they were but the first of the ones that would makeup the finale number of 144,000 .they are the ones that would be with Jesus in heaven . all the rest of mankind will be alive and well here on the earth .

What verses do you have to back up these beliefs?

Revelation 7:4 And I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred and forty-four thousand sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel:

This verse says nothing about these 144,000 going to heaven. It says they were sealed.

The following verse says that everyone who does the will of the Father will enter heaven.

Matthew 7:21 Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

There are no verses that say that everyone except the 144,000 who dies will be raised from the dead and they will live on earth forever in their physical bodies.
