Well that is an interesting interpretation, but FOURTEEN is not a multiple of 144. So that idea doesn't work. The Bible doesn't make numerical typology this loosely, sorry.
So that idea is a no-go.
In addition, 144,000 or even near that amount could never replace the number of angels who rebelled which is one-third of "myraids of myriads."
And finally, the "Bride Class" specifically replaces Jesus' ex-bride, the "woman" who became the angel we call "Satan".
So you'd be very wrong on many accounts as far as being strictly Biblical. But an idea to explore to consider what the animals in varying amounts really meant. Maybe it's prophetic in some way.
We'll have to explore 14 or 7....
Thanks for our thoughts.
Cheers,
