Ezekiel 37:4-11
4 Then he said to me, “Prophesy over these bones (144000 Saints), and say to them, O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. 5 Thus says YHWH God to these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live.”
9 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, Thus says YHWH God: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these “slain”, that they may live.” 10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great army. 11 Then he said to me, “Son of man, these bones are “the whole house of Israel” (the whole of Heavely Israel).”
The whole house of Israel – Resurrection of the 7 Churches’ brothers – 144000: So maybe the resurrection of the 7 Churches’ brothers (144000 Saints) would happen after the 6th Trumpet, when the last (7th) Trumpet is sounded they will meet the Lord Jesus in the heaven. They are the “slain” souls under the altar, they will be resurrected. But the rest – the alive part of 144000, “who lives and believes in me shall never die” (John 11:26), angel will bring them meet with Lord Jesus, someone may calls it “Rapture”.
“Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet (the 7th Trumpet of Revelation). For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed.
53 For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality.” – 1 Corinthians 15:51-53
“At that time shall arise Michael, the great prince who has charge of your people. And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never has been since there was a nation till that time. But at that time your people (144000 Saints) shall be delivered, everyone whose name shall be found written in the book.
2 And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake (resurrection), some to everlasting life…” – Daniel 12:1,2
The Heavenly 12 Tribes:
9 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, Thus says YHWH God: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these “slain”, that they may live.” 10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great army. 11 Then he said to me, “Son of man, these bones are “the whole house of Israel” (the whole of Heavely Israel).
19 say to them, Thus says YHWH God: Behold, I am about to take the stick of “Joseph” (the heavenly tribe of Joseph)… and the tribes of Israel associated with him. And I will join with it the stick of “Judah“, and make them one stick, that they may be one (heavenly 12 Tribes) in my hand.
21 …Thus says YHWH God: Behold, I will take the people (144000) of Israel from the nations among which they have gone, and will gather them from all around, and bring them to their own land. (the 144000 are from all nations, languages, peoples…)
22 And I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. And one king (Jesus) shall be king over them all, and they shall be no longer two nations, and no longer divided into two kingdoms.
24 “My servant David (Jesus) shall be king over them, and they shall all have one shepherd. They shall walk in my rules and be careful to obey my statutes.
26 I will make a covenant (New Covenant) of peace with them. It shall be an everlasting covenant with them. And I will set them in their land and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in their midst forevermore. 27 My dwelling place (New Jerusalem) shall be with them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 28 Then the nations will know that I am YHWH who sanctifies Israel, when my sanctuary is in their midst forevermore.”
– Ezekiel 37:9-28
So the whole house of Israel refers to the heavenly 12 Tribes, that is to say they are the 7 Churches’ brothers – 144000 Saints – the Bride (New Jerusalem). They are symbolized by “Two Witnesses”, Witnesses means the Lampstands – Churches. That’s why the Revelation cheapter 11 says 2 witnesses would be killed and “a breath of life from God entered them“, they will go to heaven.
“11 But after the three and a half days a breath of life from God entered them, and they stood up on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them. 12 Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here!” And they went up to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies watched them.” – Revelation 11:11,12
“Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and amazing, seven angels with seven plagues, which are the last, for with them the wrath of God is finished.
2 And I saw what appeared to be a sea of glass mingled with fire—and also those (7 Churches’ brothers – the 144000 saints) who had conquered the beast and its image and the number of its name, standing beside the sea of glass with harps of God in their hands. 3 And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb…” – Revelation 15:1-3
So during the last Trumpet – the 7th Trumpet is sounding, all 144000 saints would resurrect, they are the whole of Heavely Israel 12 Tribes, and 7 Churches are symbolised by 2 witnesses, they will go to heaven.
