I've often thought the same as you have.  And that particular passage is
subject to much interpretation.  But in either respect, whether it is 144,000
Jews or some other number, the idea is that only a limited number of
people will actually go to heaven.  I think that we should not strive to
go to heaven but to seek god and live our lives according to his will.  If
we do this, and I am wrong and there is a hell I will guarantee anyone
that they wont end up there.
