Meaning of Numbers: The Number 145
The English phrase "hundred and forty and five," used for the number 145, is not recorded in the King James Bible.
The possible meaning of the number 145 in the Bible is derived primarily from the book of Psalms.
The first chapter of Mark contains exactly 45 verses (145). After Jesus heals a man with leprosy, in one of his first miracles, he warns him not to spread the news of his healing. The man's feelings, however, override his obedience to the Lord and he publishes the news of his healing far and wide. This act causes Christ a great deal of inconvenience.
But after leaving, he (the man healed of leprosy) began to proclaim it extensively and to spread the matter abroad, so that He (Jesus) was no longer able to enter the city openly, but stayed outside the city in desert places; and they came to Him from every region (Mark 1:45, HBFV).

God commanded ancient Israel to keep a Sabbatical year, also known as the land sabbath (Leviticus 25:2 - 6) or year of release (Deuteronomy 31:10). This year was the seventh in every seven-year cycle. It began (likely) on Tishri 1 on the Hebrew calendar (Feast of Trumpets aka Rosh Hashanah).
A Sabbatical year began on September 15 in 144 A.D. This special year ended on September 5 in 145 A.D.

Yoab means "Jehovah-fathered" or "Jehovah is father" and is commonly translated, in the King James, as the name Joab.
At least three people in Scripture are named Joab. The most well known of these men was Joab, a nephew of King David's (1Chronicles 2:16), who was made commander-in-chief over Israel's army (2Samuel 8:16, 20:23). Joab would help David conquer Jebus (Jerusalem) and secure his throne over all of ancient Israel.
And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus; where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land.

And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder (2Samuel 8:16, KJV).

Number 145 and the Psalms
An important Biblical verse that refutes the notion that 100% of humanity will receive salvation is found in Psalm 145.
The Lord watches over all who love Him, but all the wicked He will destroy (Psalm 145:20, HBFV).
Psalm 145 also contains several comforting and encouraging verses that are especially helpful in a time of need.
The Lord is gracious and full of compassion; slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. The Lord is good to all, and His tender mercies are over all His works . . .
The Lord upholds all who fall and raises up all who are bowed down . . .
The Lord is righteous in all His ways and loving in all His works. The Lord is near unto all who call upon Him, unto all who call upon Him in truth. He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He also will hear their cry, and will save them. The Lord watches over all who love Him . . . (Verses 8, 9, 14, 17 - 20 of Psalm 145, HBFV).
