The 144,000 are there from the 12 tribes of Israel from the old covenant. It's a symbolic number but it is complete. But as he looks around at the multitude from every tribe and nation that he cannot count these are from the new covenant this people are us the Gentiles. But the fact that he cannot count them is that more and more christians are being saved to this very day. Blessing.
