From a partial-preterist view, who are the 144,000 and the two witnesses? Rec: Verse-by-verse lectures on Revelation. [Revelation 7, Revelation 14:1-5].

What is the meaning of "first fruits"? I thought that meant this first resurrection before the millennium, before the rest of them? What about the 144,000? [Revelation 14:5]
