This is partially an excerpt from the Twelve Tribes of Israel topic.

144,000 Virgin Men of 12 tribes in the Book of Revelation

Notice in Revelation 7, besides the reference of them being virgin sons and not daughters*, there are twelve tribes referenced.  The tribes of Dan and Ephraim are omitted from the list.  The 144,000 Witnesses will be marked in their foreheads so that nothing can hurt them while they are on their mission.  They are receiving divine protection from God.

Revelation 7:3-8 3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. 4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

5 Of the tribe of Judah were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand. 6 Of the tribe of Asher were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Naphtali were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasseh were sealed twelve thousand. 7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand. 8 Of the tribe of Zebulun were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.

The mission and the 144,000 Jewish "Evangelist" Witnesses, that are protected from the judgments occurring in the last 3.5 years of the Tribulation Period, is to spread the good news of Jesus Christ as the Savior of the World.  Many people will be Saved during that period of time.  

Notes

All 14 tribes have representatives who make it into the 1,000 year millennium kingdom from the scriptural references in Ezekiel 48.  Regarding the two Tribes not mentioned in the 144,000 Jewish Witnesses.  Biblical Scholars have suggested:

  1. The Tribe of Dan is left out of the protection because of the evidence based on the history of the tribe being the first to let in idolatry along with not participating in military actions when they were expected.
  2. The Tribe of Ephraim led other tribes in the northern part of Israel briefly against King David and then later under Jeroboam they divided the nation into two kingdoms. 

An additional point by this author is these 144,000 have a mark on them.  This author's theory, which I haven't seen anywhere else, is probably similar to what Cain had that protected him from harm and also reminded Cain that he was still loved by God where Cain could exercise Faith because of the mark, which is a "type" of being "sealed".

* There is and have been a few religious groups that deny and claim many things that are contradictory to the Scriptures.  One of the groups claim that initially all of their members were part of the 144,000 which included men, women, children, married people and definitely not virgins if they were married with children.  This group had no proof of Jewish Tribal Lineage and also could not prove they were there to oppose the Antichrist in the last three and half years of the Tribulation Period.
