Hello, I posted this to another christian forum, but I stumbled upon this site recently, and noticed it has an actual end times forum.
So what better place to post, to see what different responses I get from here?
Revelations 14:
These 144,000 will be the only ones to learn this song,
they also have a mark on their forehead ( a good mark) that protects them from the calamities, and plagues, and
scorpions stings etc. bestowed upon the earth. ( you can find this in previous chapters of Rev.)
That means everyone else will be suffering these tribulations, and only these 144,000 will be protected from these wraths.
They are virgins who never lied, who follow Jesus wherever he goes.
So guess what, if you are reading this it most likely does not mean YOU, or me, because 144,000 out of 7 billion people is a very small percent. So be prepared to suffer plagues, and calamities during the tribulation.
Am I interpreting this correctly?

Revelations 14:
3 And they sang a new song before the throne [of God] and before the four living creatures and before the elders [of
the heavenly Sanhedrin]. No one could learn [to sing] that song except the 144,000 who had been ransomed
(purchased, redeemed) from the earth.
4 These are they who have not defiled themselves by relations with women, for they are [[c]pure as] virgins. These
are they who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These are they who have been ransomed (purchased, redeemed) from among
men as the firstfruits for God and the Lamb.
5 No lie was found to be upon their lips, for they are blameless (spotless, untainted, without blemish) before the
throne of God.
