The Two Witnesses are Elijah and Enoch, who never died and are alive today by virtue of contact with the Tree of Life (which was never destroyed) and who will return to public ministry at the time of the Antichrist.

The 144,000 is a figurative term meant to represent those in union with the successors of the Apostles and the Vicar of Christ.

The only Rapture will be at the Second Coming of Christ.

By the way, the Catholic Church wrote the Bible and Protestants are simply confused, heretical Catholics.

The 144,000 are most certainly people. Revelation 14.3and they sing as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders: and no man could learn the song save the hundred and forty and four thousand, [even] they that had been purchased out of the earth.

Here is what the Haydock Commentary (George Haydock's Bible blows away the King James "version"; the Haydock Bible was the one JFK took the Oath on) says about the 144,000:




Ver. 1. Behold a Lamb, by which is divers times represented our Saviour Christ. (Witham)

Ver. 3. They sung as it were a new canticle. In these visions, after persecutions, are sometimes introduced rejoicings to encourage the servants of God in their sufferings from the wicked world. --- No man could say (or sing) the canticle, but those hundred and forty-four thousand: by which are signified the elect, who were not defiled with women. Some expound this literally of those who always lived virgins; others understand all those who lived or died with a pure and clean heart, exempt from the corruption of vices, and of whom it is said, (ver. 5) that in their mouth was found no lie, and that they were without spot for the throne of God. (Witham)

Ver. 4. These are they, &c. In the style of the prophets, by fornication is meant idolatry, and virginity signifies cleanness from all sacrilegious worship. These, therefore, are virgins in this sense, who have not fallen into the impurities of creature worship. But others, as St. Augustine, understand it of persons who have lived in continency. The first, however, is the more literal sense. (Calmet)
