There is an unbreakable chain of scripture that ties all these groups together as one body:

The overcomers from Philadelphia

The vineyard workers hired at the 11th hour (the end of the world) who are the last who come first

The 144,000 who are not defiled with women

The 144,000 sealed before tribulation can begin

The bride of the Lamb

Occupants with Jesus in the new Jerusalem

“The world” are the ways of man. The ways of man are selfish and utterly insatiable
