The way I understand the resurrection which only comes from Paul is that Jesus took 144000 with him when he left which most people do not agree with.

Please explain the above and where you come up with this.

Hosea 6
2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.

These are people in the old testament.

1 Corinthians 15:20
But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.

Them that slept ( past tense )

Romans 8
29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

This is spoken in the past tense to be glorified i think you would have to be resurrected.

They must have been Glorified just behind Jesus.

John 12
23 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.

Mathew 27
52
And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,

Again slept.

53
And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

Hebrew 12
1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

A 144000 would be a seem as a great cloud.

Rev 14

3 And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth.

4 These are those who did not defile themselves with women, for they remained virgins. They follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were purchased from among mankind and offered as firstfruits to God and the Lamb.

5 No lie was found in their mouths; they are blameless.

1Cor 15
23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.
