1 | Only 144,000 virgins in heaven? | Revelation | Manette | 50034 | ||
I studied in-depth with Jehovah's witnesses. They in-fact do believe that only 144,000 will reign in Heaven with Jesus as Kings and priests. These 144,000 are the "Annointed" class of Christians, the only ones allowed to partake of the bread and wine communion (the Memorial of Christ's death). They believe there are two classes: the "Annointed" and the so-called "other Sheep". The Annointed are Christ's brothers (and a very few sisters), and they have a special, or divine understanding, and have born witness to a manifestation of God's Holy Spirit. The other sheep are those who are not annointed with God's holy spirit and they will not be in Heaven with Christ, [who has been "reigning" as King in Heaven since 1914 when he kicked Satan out of Heaven down to earth (of course the "Annointed" discovered this)], rather the other sheep will enjoy life on paradise earth. The Witnesses believe they are the only "true" Christians and all others will perish in the tribulation. However in the "New World" many of the others will be resurected and taught the "truth" by the other Sheep. Many of Jehovah's Witnesses teachings and their translation of the Scriptures into their own bible "New World Translation", are suspect. However, understand for them, that it is under the guidance of the "Annointed" that all of their teachings, literature, translations, are dispensed. Thus, no doubt rests with them as to the validity of their "truth". |
