First of all, tulip, you are quoting from the Christian NT, a book written by the Apostle John, the disciple whom Jesus loved. Let`s get clear on that first. Secondly, the 12,000 from each of the tribes of Israel are not placed in any historical context. To imply that they are chosen at the end of times out of faux Israel is a bit of stretch. Thirdly, I see nothing in Revelation 7 which indicates, as you say, that "The body of Christ will sing the song of Moses." You`ve made that up out of whole cloth. Fourthly, the 144,000 and "a great multitude from all nations and tribes," stand before the "Lamb." The Lamb is Jesus, Tulip. Fifthly, apparently, the 144,000, along with the "great multitude" have come out of "great tribulation," and have washed their robes "in the blood of the Lamb,"(the Lamb, of course, being Jesus.) Oh well, you tried.
