Although he did not address the book of Revelation, there is the passage about the 144,000 Jews sealed during the Great Tribulation, 12,000 from each tribe.

Those 144,000 will plain-literally all be men, and they will all be virgins, as even Jesus was all His Incarnated life until now. They will have literal but spiritual bodies, gained at the moment of the ἁρπάζω1 (Gk. pronounced har-pad'-zoh) when caught up2, violently taken away3, in the "Rapture" (the theologians' Anglicization of the Latin verb rapere4, which is the Vulgate's translation of the corresponding Greek verb that is found many times in the New Testament Greek Koine, as well as in the Septuagint translation of the Old Testament scriptures).

These twelve dozen thousands of men are not all of the Jewish race, are they?

========

Notes:

(1) 1 Thessalonians 4:17 TR Greek verb ἁρπάζω
(2) 1 Thess 4:17 English KJV translation of (1)
(3) Deut. 28:31 English KJV translation of The Hebrew, which the Vulgate uses the verb rapere. and the LXX translates it as ἁρπάζω
(4) 1 Thess. 4:17 Vulgate translates as rapere (conjugated, of course)
