ARE the children counted in the hundred and forty-four thousand that will be translated?
We do not know. When ancient Israel was numbered, only the males from twenty years old and upward were counted. See Num. 1:44-46; 26:2-4; Matt. 14:21; 15:38; Acts 4:4. However, it is not profitable to speculate upon these things. What God prizes is not number (altho the elect number will be gathered), but character; and he has made the required character possible to all through Jesus Christ.
