 These seem to me sufferers of Judah, who pass through the unequalled tribulation, which it is not said that the other remnant do. This is what is meant by their standing with the Lamb on the mount Zion. (Lectures on Revelation 14 by W. Kelly)
 the name of the Lamb and the name of His Father (for so it ought to be read) written on their foreheads is in contrast with the name of the beast in Revelation 13. (Lectures on Revelation 14 by W. Kelly)
 The Lamb's name and His Fathers these hundred and forty-four thousand have on their foreheads — not in their hearts only, if we may so speak; they were evidently and openly the Lamb's. (Lectures on Revelation 14 by W. Kelly)
 They are not, though the same symbolical number, (Twelve is the number representing the perfection of administrative government in man (in Christ). Twelve times twelve will exhibit this in intensified perfection.) those sealed from the twelve tribes in chapter 7; for the elect remnant out of the ten tribes will not be restored to the land of Israel until after Messiah shall sit upon the throne of His glory; whereas these are the preserved of the two tribes already in the land, those who will have passed through the sorrows of the period before the appearing of Christ (Lectures on Revelation 14 by W. Kelly)
 The principle involved in Zion, then, is God's activity for His people in the way of grace, when all was lost under the law. (Revelation 13 by J.N. Darby)
 144,000: The suffering Jewish remnant of the Psalms. Judah and Benjamin. Christ’s brethren of Matt. 25:40; Psa. 69:26; 1 Sam. 22:1-2; Dan. 3. (Revelation 14 Symbols by A.H. Burton)
 Name in Their Foreheads: Open confession of Christ (Compare Rev. 13:16). (Revelation 14 Symbols by A.H. Burton)

It should be "the" Lamb on preponderant authority, though some MSS. omit the article.

The true text represented by the best MSS. expressly says "his [the Lamb’s] name and his Father’s name."
