It'll all make a lot more sense in a few years, when the Lord Jesus Christ descends from the clouds to collect his chosen. Let's just say you'll be pretty glad we killed all those Palestinian kids then. It's pretty basic foreign policy stuff, if you read your Bible.
Your wit was lost on someone, but I give you +1
I'm pretty sure the text says that 144,000 Jews will be saved, which was an absurdly high number at the time and if you told John of Patmos that there are ≈2,400,000 Jews living in the United States alone, he'd bawk and ask "There's HOW MANY Jews WHERE??"
Edit: it's been a while since I've read Revelations, and it's a buck wild fever dream of a text, but I think the 144k are only the batch of people initially saved and the rest face judgement after a 7 eyed and 7 horned ram takes the right of a gold and gem encrusted throne at which seats descendant-from-Heaven Jesus with a flaming sword protruding from his mouth.
Revelations was written by John, his accounts of everything differ from the other big 3 in multiple places, he liked metaphors
Metaphors and healthy doses of mind-shattering hallucinogens.
Once that red heifer is born and sacrificed we're gonna see some serious shit
