Mmm I don`t think so for they are of the Israeli purpose, as we know the 12 disciples are too.
The 12 disciples were the firstfruits of the Gentiles. They took the gospel to the Gentiles.
In Revelation 7, the 144k are the "reverse" of the original disciples. They are sealed from all 12 tribes now taking the gospel to the Israelites in all nations.
The time of the Gentiles entering the church has ended. The NT church began at the Cross and ends at the Second Coming. Those who claim the Trumpets and Thunders are mixed up and during the Seals, are not letting Revelation unfold. They are lumping it into a single "instant event". Revelation is not instant. Christ and the angels will be on earth during the Trumpets and Thunders. They came at the Second Coming, the 6th Seal. The 144k are sealed, redeemed prior to the Lamb's book of life being completely unsealed at the 7th Seal. The 144k cannot be removed from the Lamb's book of life. They are not part of the glorified church in Paradise. They were sealed after the Second Coming.
Do they literally represent the church on earth? Of course. The church are those named in the Lamb's book of life since Genesis 1. However Christians are followers of Christ since the Cross. Actually a name given after the fact.
"Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul: And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a
whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch."
Christian by definition is a follower of Christ. Many have taken the name. Not all have been annointed by choice. The word actually means anointed one. That is not how it is defined now. Now it is just another religion to many. Christ was the anointed one by God, as well as being God with us. God is the one who anoints us into to the family of God, being born of the Spirit. It is both a choice to accept, and an invitation to be born again.
As for the 144k and the 12 disciples, they were chosen. Obviously like Judas, they could have refused. I don't see that as a viable choice, but an exception of purpose. It could be said, that Judas was never a disciple, but part of the group, just to betray Jesus. Some would claim proof of being saved, but then loosing one's salvation. Paul claims he was the actual 12 disciple, "born" out of time from the rest. The disciples themselves chose a "12th" disciple, but whom did God choose?
History repeating itself? The tribe of Benjamin replaced by the half tribes of his brother Joseph? Interesting that in Revelation 7, Dan and Ephraim are not mentioned, yet Joseph and Benjamin are. Manasses replaced Dan and Ephraim.
Twelve disciples, 13, or 14? Twelve tribes, 13, or 14? Is the church only those chosen directly by God, or those who reciprocate with their own choice to accept the new birth? Are there some chosen by God despite their own choice in that decision of God? They literally have no choice themselves? Obviously, Calvinist claim all fall into that category. That we literally have no choice to accept or deny. That means if God did choose Judas to deny God, many chosen would also have to deny God, because they literally have no ability to decide any other course of action. That would be the point we have no free will, but are just pre-programmed for God's will. Or coerced despite our own will. They apply that to Adam, claiming Adam had no choice, but God forced or made Adam disobey. It was going to happen just as God planned.
That would mean that even discussing in an eschatology forum, we really have no choices at all. Every word was already preprogrammed by God. No view is wrong or right. It is all just going to happen without meaning or purpose outside of just being mere creation itself.
