Speaking about the church, II Corinthians 11:2, "For I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy, for I betrothed (engaged) you to one husband, that is Christ, that I might present you (the church) as a pure virgin." Speaking about the initial 144,000 "as firstfruits of God" before Jesus returns, "These are the ones who have not been defiled with women, for they have kept themselves chaste" (Rev 14:4). John is not talking about people who have kept themselves pure as far as sexual relationships are concerned. Harlotry and fornication throughout the Bible are metaphors for idolatry and apostasy ... see Isaiah 1:21, Jeremiah 2:20-3:11, Ezekiel 16:15-43 and Revelation 2:14 where it speaks of harlotry as being idolatry and an offense to God because they are unfaithful to God.
God's "144,000" remain "chaste" (no idolatry) because they "keep" the commandments of God, "Here is the perseverance of the saints who keep the commandments of God" (Rev 14:2) in Deuteronomy 8:3 and Deuteronomy 4:2/12:32. Refusing to rightly apply these two foundational commandments to God's spoken words regarding Jesus in Matthew 3:17 and 16:15-17 produce Satan's idolatry unique in every nation, including America.
God "sealed" His 144,000 before Jesus started to execute God's individual culminating judgment against each nation beginning with America on Nov. 7, 2024.
Reject Satan's idolatry in America "Jesus is God," repent of your "unbelief" (not believe God regarding Jesus), and be baptized in the name of the son (never "God the Son") to be among the "great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hand and crying out with a loud voice, 'Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb'" (Revelation 7:9-10) before Jesus returns.
