We have some on this board who feel they have been "called". kletoi
This word may also mean invited.
Now let's look at Revelation 17:14
The ones who join Jesus in the beastly battle have been....1.invited....2.chosen....3.they are faithful.
It is a three (3) tier system!!!
The invite to the wedding feast goes out to all.
Some though will be chosen. Part of the bride?
Some of that bride will remain faithful. (Check Rev 12:4, Satan wants to drag them down)
For those who make it, it is going to be a heck of a party!

Hi Man hu :hibye:
Before the "party", there appears that there will be a "meeting" with all the members of the bride "on clouds, in the air" before they go to heaven. 1 Thess 4:16,17
because the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a commanding call, with an archangel’s voice and with God’s trumpet, and those who are dead in union with Christ will rise first. 17 Afterward we the living who are surviving will, together with them, be caught away in clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and thus we shall always be with [the] Lord.
Yes, it seems that Jesus will have a "meeting" with his bride before they actually go to heaven. Paul says that they would be caught away in clouds, the air, and not in heaven, yet. If this is so, that makes sense. These 144,000 have never had "spirit" bodies before, and never been "perfect" and "immortal". It will be a new experience and consciousness.
What would Jesus speak about? Who knows? My guest is that he may congratulate them on remaining faithful to the point of death. Go through what they can do with their new bodies and the protocol of being in the magnificent presence of God.
Your guest is as good as mine!
