How Can We Become the Firstfruits and Be Raptured?

Revelation 12:5 The woman gave birth to a male child who would rule over all nations with a scepter of iron. Her child was caught up to God and to his throne.

Revelation 14:1 Then I looked, and there stood the Lamb on Mount Zion, with him and 144,000 others, all with his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads.

Revelation 14:4 These were not defiled by women; they were virgins. They follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were bought from among men as firstfruits for God and for the Lamb.
