The answer is clearly “no”.

The Book of Revelation, a highly symbolic and visionary book of the Bible, mentions the number 144,000 in chapter 7. Though the Adventist Church has no official view on this issue, its scholars will point out that this number is most likely symbolic and represents the people of God.

Seventh-day Adventists believe that when Jesus Christ returns to earth for the second time, He will take to heaven His people. We also believe that faithful people from all ages, not just Adventists, are the people of God.
