Christianity Etc › Re: Is It Only 144000 people That Will Make Heaven? by MaxInDHouse(m): 3:07pm On Jan 26, 2023
TenQ:
Deliberately I am not focusing on the 144,000, my focus is on the Multitudes. Are they before the THRONE of God or not the same with the 144,000?

Where is this THRONE, on the earth?

Your claim is that ONLY the 144,000 will be in heaven. I have showed you that the Multitudes are ALSO in heaven. That is why you want to redefine heaven as the presence of God.

The scripture is too clear on this sir. More than 144,000 will be in heaven contrary to your doctrine
Unlike the great crowd who practiced what he (Jesus) taught the 144,000 were bought from the earth {Revelations 14:3} that's why it's clear that they are not on earth but as for the rest they are on planet earth worshiping God with the little flock {Luke 12:32} the rest are the other sheep belonging to the same Master! John 10:16

It's OK if you're not convinced you can find another interpretation and apply it with your fellow worshipers, that's the understanding of God's organization! smiley

sure
Jesus is the perfect human role model God presented to the entire human race {Matthew 17:5} when talking about the Holy Spirit Jesus is 100% active with God's Holy Spirit so all the qualities of the Spirit could be found in Jesus: LOVE JOY PEACE PATIENCE GOODNESS GENTLENESS FAITH MILDNESS and SELF-CONTROL! Galatians 5:22-23
But no imperfect human can display this qualities in it's entirety {Romans 3:23} that's why Jesus told his disciples that if they want the world to see the fruit of God's Holy Spirit in them they must form one body {John 17:22} so as a group all these qualities will become obvious to any observer looking at Jesus' disciples {Matthew 5:13-16} it was in Antioch that all the qualities found in Jesus became obvious in the activities of his disciples that's why they were easily recognized as "Christians" {Act 11:26} so a true Christian group must exhibit all the qualities of God's Holy Spirit as one body {Ephesians 4:12} not individually because the group is made up of imperfect humans! Romans 7:15-25

©Throughout the world everyone will continue to say "they have love among themselves" John 13:34-35

©They will not partake in the political affairs of any nation because they're for Christ body and soul! John 17:14-16

©They will be known globally as zealous preachers and industrious teachers of the word of their God and Father just as Jesus did! Act 1:8

©They be tolerant as a group no matter what people say about their group they're not bothered! Matthew 5:11-12

©They will form a global family of peace loving worshipers so that anywhere a member finds himself or herself it's home as long as fellow believers are their! Mark 10:29-31

©None of them will lack all the tools needed to work for their Master, Lord and King Christ Jesus {Psalms 23:1} so their Bibles will be always intact from cover to cover because it's their spiritual sword! Luke 22:36 compare to Ephesians 6:17; Hebrews 4:12

©All the nations of the earth will hate them in fact they will be stigmatized in all human society! John 15:19

©But with all of these they will stand out as the best performing group practicing what Jesus laid down! Matthew 7:16-18

If you can find this group then know that you have found Jesus of Nazareth! Matthew 18:20

May you have PEACE! smiley

Your claim is that ONLY the 144,000 will be in heaven. I have showed you that the Multitudes are ALSO in heaven. That is why you want to redefine heaven as the presence of God.

Here again are the 144,000 before the THRONE

Rev 14:1-3:
"And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Zion, and with him a hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: and they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth."


Here is the Multitudes ALSO before the THRONE.

Rev 7:9-11:
"After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; and cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,"


Are these TWO different THRONEs?
Well the 144,000 aren't literal Israelites but faithful people who has never been strongly attached to politics (virgins) they are decisive always (males)

The throne here signifies God's presence but the 144,000 will be in the same place with the four living creatures (heaven)

If you feel like having another meaning it's OK that's just the understanding of the entire JW worldwide. Thanks!

The greatest problem they have is quoting the scriptures out of context. The Arabs quoted Jesus at Matthew 21:43
But if God rejected the nation of Israel for not accepting Jesus as God's Son how will the same God approve Islam that says God doesn't have a Son? smiley

Good morning my brother.
Song 58


Jesus commanded: ‘Let the truth be heard.
’In summer heat, on dusty roads,
He let all hear Jehovah’s word.
He loved God’s sheep and called to ev’ryone.
He searched the land from the sunrise
‘til the day was done.
From door to door and in the street,
We share with ev’ryone we meet
The news that soon man’s troubles all will be gone.

(CHORUS)
Searching the world
For friends of peace in ev’ry nation,
Searching to find
A heart inclined toward salvation,
Wanting to leave
No stone unturned.

Time waits for no one, so the search goes on.
A million hearts, a million lives
We give our all to save just one.
Love is the force that makes us call again.
A wounded heart can be healed,
and broken lives can mend.
We search the towns and city squares,
And when we find someone who cares,
The joy we feel inspires us to go on.

(CHORUS)
Searching the world
For friends of peace in ev’ry nation,
Searching to find
A heart inclined toward salvation,
Wanting to leave
No stone unturned

Aemmyjah:
Dear Max
Remember the controversial guy I told you about and I mentioned something about cart witnessing and how he does not accept anything in the bible as truth or wrong
Yesterday evening, I saw him. I had not seen him since January 1
We hugged and greeted each other
He then said, he wants to be like me, he wants to start preaching to others too
My ears nearly fell
I have visited him severally but studied only twice with him and just the first lesson of Enjoy Life
He got a new iPhone then
He charged it but the light was fluctuating
The iPhone did not on
He has tried and taken it to several phone engineer and spent much
It made him depressed and I understand the feeling as a young person cos the panel for iPhone is 35k
He was mad
That was when I first met him
I would preach to him, encourage him, we share experiences, ate together once
Never knew that these things had an effect on him cos I was thinking I'm seeing him too often and he questions everything. He questions that the Earth is a circle, when I asked him the shape of the earth, he said he has not gone to space to view it.
We've not even started chapter 2 of the book and he has expressed interest to preach, I did not know what to tell him but he has began attending meetings and we have our midweek meetings today. He will come and see the training
As for me, I will work hard with Jehovah's help to help him understand Bible truths and apply it
Another news
I told you how broke I was
I prayed to Jehovah to help me auxiliary pioneer for the whole year but I needed money to pay my fees, dues and other things as this is my final year
Not that I don't want to work but it will affect my ministry badly and I don't want my ministry I enjoy to go down cos of university studies that cannot guarantee a good job
I picked up form for this month, lectures had begun, I was in the ministry
Before you know it, a brother I'm not related with or told sent the amount of a full session
Another one called and said he will help me towards tpthe closure of portal, so I should come meet him
Another lecturer called me in and told me that I can use his laptop for assignments, projects and anything and I may use the printer to print as this will help reduce costs on typing and printing
Yesterday, a state Scholarship exams I wrote but did not do well notified that I'm among the beneficiary
I got a cheque of a 6-figure amount
There's still another I'm expecting from SIWES
One thing I have a problem with is that when I pray for something, and it happens on a way I don't expect, I don't even know how to thank Jehovah
Jehovah has played his part
I'll cut one lecture day to add to the Saturday and Sunday in preaching as our territory is very productive
Thank Jah with me
When I see an atheist or premium churchgoer that says there is no God, I laugh
The God I worship is my most faithful friend
He's already played his part and removed all the obstacles
I have my own role to play now and find FRIENDS OF PEACE
Good morning Bro Max

The throne of God means God's presence. Revelations 22:1-2

So if God is with them {Revelations 21:3 compare to Ezekiel 37:27} then anywhere they're standing whether in heaven or on earth is God's presence! Exodus 3:5

Follow the scriptures sir!
There is a specific reason the 144,000 were broken in groups of 12,000 for each of the tribes of Israel. This is not subject to any other reinterpretation sir.

Are the Multitudes from every nation ALSO before the THRONE with the 144,000?

Your doctrine of ONLY 144,000 in heaven breaks down sir
Let's take it step by step.

Have you checked the Exodus account of the original twelve tribes of Israel?

The multitude standing before the throne of God are on planet earth it simply means all of them will worship God in one accord when Satan, demons and false prophets are out of the way survivors will all worship Jehovah as one big and happy family of peace loving worshipers. That's what it means!

An INTRODUCTION of the 144,000 in White Robes

1. They were Men
2. They were Virgins
3. They are First fruits to God and His Lamb
4. They are pure and without fault in speech

In addition these are SPECIFICALLY from the 12 tribes of Israel according to Rev 7:4-8:
©They are men means they are humans with a masculine heart they aren't indecisive like females do naturally. So they're not literal males.

©They are virgins they have never given total support to politics they only believe in God/God's

©They are the first set of humans that will gain everlasting life before anyone else.

©They always speak the truth no matter how bitter it is when it comes to worship.

©They are faithful people from different races throughout the earth not literal Israelites.
You can crosscheck the names of the original twelve tribes of Israel as written in the Bible book of Exodus 1:1-5 to be sure if it's the same as what John listed at Revelations 7:5-8

Goodmorning, pls i really want to know why we have all sorts of churchs here and there. Like why is it difficult for christians to come together and worship God under one roof since we all pray to one God.
The founder of Christianity (Jesus called CHRIST) said after he has commissioned the group that Satan will infuse his agents in their midst {Matthew 13:25} so confusion will set in as countless sects will be claiming Christians with contradicting teachings and conflicting doctrines making it difficult for an interested person to identify Jesus' true disciples.
Instead of Jesus to order angels to go and separate his true disciples from false religions he said they should be left to continue until when Jesus is about to come and destroy Satan's system. Towards that time an angel will be sent to pick all faithful people throughout the earth and gather them in one group then he will also gather faithless people in different sects based on the thoughts in the minds of each person! Matthew 13:36-30
Today Jesus' group has stood out throughout the earth as one big and happy family of peace loving worshipers just as God's word foretold! Isaiah 2:2-4

Will you like to know what the scriptures say about how we can identify this group?

I have checked out most of the major churches and JW is not in my list of top 10 best performing so stop making it look like a competition because if it were, you wouldn't take ad high as you feel.
Abraham was to leave behind the religion of his family and move far away to a distant land {Genesis 12:1} where the God talking to him wanted him to start ANOTHER RELIGION {Joshua 24:2} so the God that called Abraham intentionally brought him out from among his people to start another religion and this God warned His own worshipers against all other religions!

If you don't belong to any political party then it means you're no part of the people who are thinking about the progress of that country politically so what business have you to start criticizing the ruling party?
I remember when Gani Fawehinmi was fighting against Tinubu's right to be governor, after getting all his files of evidence against the winner of the 1999 election he thought there's no way out for Tinubu not until the baby lawyer in court asked Gani
"My boss Sir, did you register for this election?"
Gani said "NO"
"Definitely you never voted"
Gani said "NO"
The baby lawyer now asked Gani
"My senior advocate Sir, this case has to do with the electoral process and the choice of voters since you were never part of the process what exactly are you doing CRITICIZING the people's CHOICE?
Immediately Gani was ordered out of the court and that was the end of the case!
So if you're no part of a process then what is your business with whatever is going on there?

He's just slamming his head on a wall without any gain. In Islam our belief is that Adam and Eve were the first human couple so they must have spoken to each other and certainly it's the same language. So if they're the ancestors of all mankind definitely there was a time that everyone on this planet spoke the same language.
