Kobojunkie:
The reason why John described one temple as being in heaven while he made no such reference of the kind as far as the other is probably because the one is the temple here on earth which God intends to have rebuilt during the resurrection whereas the other, the temple in Heaven is a reference to another temple which is located in heaven. undecided
Why is it difficult to adopt exactly what the scriptures say clearly. All I see is you trying to fit the bible into your doctrine.

The book of John had been consistent that both the temple and the throne are in heaven.

Moreover, the final nail on this coffin

Speaking about the New Jerusalem on earth

Rev 21:22:
"And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it."


No temple sir

1. OK. So can you please respond to my question then? undecided

2. Revelations 15 should provide you with the answer you need to this. undecided
Are you discarding the statements of both scriptures below about the location of the throne?

Rev 4:2:
"And immediately I was in the Spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne."


Rev 16:17:
"And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done."




Revelation 15 also concur that the throne is in heaven

Rev 15:1
"And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.

Rev 15:5
And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:"


Nowhere was the earth referenced in Rev 15

Kobojunkie:
Well, can you at least explain why you assume all 4 have to be on earth because they were written as standing around the throne of God given that the throne itself is not on earth? undecided
I never assumed that the throne is on earth o. It's the JW followers who want to reinterpret scriptures to fit their doctrines .

It think the Bible was clear on the location of the throne

Rev 4:2:
"And immediately I was in the Spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne."


Rev 16:17:
"And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done."

Not trying to hold brief for the other, but both 144,000 and the multitude stood before God's throne right here on earth — none of them were in heaven at the time described by John in Revelations 7, and yes, at the time of the resurrection, God's throne will be visible from right here on earth. John reveals that He will be worshipped from right here on earth, day and night by the multitude. undecided
Can you therefore confirm and concur that around this throne,
1. The LAMB was here on EARTH and
2. The Angels were here on EARTH and
3. The Elders were here on EARTH and
4. The Four Beasts were here on EARTH

It think the book Bible was clear on the location of the throne

Rev 4:2:
"And immediately I was in the Spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne."

This your childish stuff always amuses me! cheesy
If you don't agree with what someone says why not find others who may agree with you?

Ọmọ God's throne in that context simply means God's presence so whether you like it or not the interpretation is that the 144,000 will rule with the Christ in heaven while all their subjects will live on planet earth.

So it's either you BOW to our teaching or go and find those that will tell you what you want to hear, jWs have spoken! smiley
You fake doctrine cannot withstand any iota of inquisition or questioning: can you see how simple bible truths turn you into jellyfish?


Doesn't the scripture tell us exactly where this THRONE is

Rev 4:2:

Rev 16:17:
"And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done."



Since Gods presence is EVERYWHERE and by your JW doctrine the Throne is NOT literal, where did you come up with the idea that only the 144,000 will be (specifically) in heaven?

Did your own Bible begin at Revelation 7 verse 9 & ended in verse 11?
No !

Sitting on throne signify rulership? Yes
Did your Bible say the Multitudes were in heaven?
No !

Did your Bible says the Multitude were sitting on the throne?
No!
Jesus said the 144000 were his co-rulers,, Priests &kings, Revelation 5:10 & Revelation 1:5-6.


You desperately cleave to Revelation 7:9-11 to base your doctrine whereas 1 Chronicles 29:23 and Revelation 7:9-11 is strictly about the same throne of God.

King Solomon sitting on God's throne is strong evidence that the Multitudes "standing before the throne" does NOT IN ANYWAY validate your claim about Revelation 7:9-11.


Exactly like Muslim You never cease to amuse me by your evasive manoeuvres.


Can you confirm that according to Rev7:9-11 that the THRONE here is on EARTH?

And therefore,

1. The LAMB was here on EARTH and
2. The Angels were here on EARTH and
3. The Elders were here on EARTH and
4. The Four Beasts were here on EARTH

wrong mr, not every one knows that. check the arguemnts on the thread and see that my reason for commenting in the first place was because someone said that some will go to heaven and some will inherit the earth
Let me ask you a direct question and I hope you will speak the Truth about your own true Belief.

Is it TRUE that according to the book of Revelation only the 144,000 humans will be in heaven?


It is a simple question sir
Christianity Etc › Re: Is It Only 144000 people That Will Make Heaven? by TenQ: 1:30pm On Jan 27, 2023
EMILO2STAY:
check very well ,I never claimed that 144,000 will go to heaven. my stance on this is that the saved will inherit the new earth
Everyone knows that.

People will live on the NEW earth.
Rev 21:23-24:
"And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honor into it."


However, a false organisation also teach that only 144,000 of humans will be in heaven. My job is to expose such deceit.

The Multitudes saved during the period of Tribulation will ALSO be present before the THRONE of God in heaven.

You decided not to answer the questions as usual; very typical of Muslims. Perhaps you are from the same exact stock!

Okay, it is now Gods presence and His throne doesn't exist.

I sometimes give my wife sweets (candy) as a gift and she will receive it with thanks. This woman is evil and of a bad character. What is wrong with a "thank you": was it her money in the first place?

You were the one who said that "the throne is not literal", therefore

1. If the THRONE according to Rev7:9-11 is NOT literal according to Maximus and JW organisation, is the throne in Rev 14:1-3 also not literal?
2. If your claim is that the THRONE is not literal, can you confirm that the THRONE doesn't exist (either on earth and in heaven)?
3. How can we trust that heaven is a literal place?

No sir.
When the scripture is twisted by a group of people, those who know should correct them.

Your claim is that ONLY the 144,000 will be in heaven.

My claim is that in addition to the 144,000 a multitude of people from every tribe and tongue saved during the tribulation are also with the 144,000.

The issue is NOT about who inherits the new earth. The issue is the ERROR that ONLY 144,000 will be in heaven.

Now,

Can you confirm that according to Rev7:9-11 that the THRONE here is on EARTH?

And therefore,

1. The LAMB was here on EARTH and
2. The Angels were here on EARTH and
3. The Elders were here on EARTH and

The symbolic term "throne of God" simply means God's presence.
So both those in heaven and on earth will feel God's presence just as the angels, elders, four living creatures and 144,000 will see God directly in heaven, the great crowd (multitude) will also see God with the eyes of their minds as He answers our prayers instantly! Isaiah 65:24 compare to Psalms 67:6-7

Your agitation over the symbolic term "throne of God" is understandable but there's no sitting on the fence it's either you BOW to our teaching or go for a better performing group that will tell you what you want to hear! wink

The 144,000 aren't in the same place as the multitude what that scripture mean is that both of them are like one flock one shepherd even though they're not in the same place literally speaking. smiley

The same throne in Revelation 7:9-11 is the same throne in Revelation 14:1-3 and the same throne in 1 Chronicles 29:23.
The location of the throne is not an issue.

The difference:
The location of the Multitude is different from the location of the Harpers/Angels.
Revelation 7:9-10, the Multitudes are NOT in heaven.


In Revelation 7:11, the angels are not on earth.


Revelation 14:1-3 John wrote:


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"


The Harpers are in heaven singing a new song 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.

First of all you thought the 144,000 are natural Israelites until i asked you to crosscheck the original at Exodus 1:1-5.
Both of them are in God's presence that's what it means but the four living creatures makes a difference because the four living creatures are in heaven each standing at the right, left, front and back of God's heavenly throne {Ezekiel 1:1-11} only the 144,000 are in the same place with the four living creatures! Revelations 14:3
That's why it's logical to conclude that only the 144,000 will go to heaven.
There is one thing i've noticed about you and it won't help you if you don't change:
You're always trying to find fault with whatever the JWs teaches whereas you can never ever find any group of worshipers as studious as JWs. That's why i keep telling you to go out there and find the meaning from any other religion if their opinion satisfy you continue worshiping with them. Your opinion can't and will never count before JWs unless you're able to present a better performing group with the things you think you know! smiley

@ Revelation 7:9-11, did your own Bible say that the Multitudes are in heaven?
You are TWISTING the holy scriptures.

Take note of this DETAIL highlighting the difference between Rev 14:1-3 & Rev 7:9-11.

"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: [b][colo]and they sung as it were a new song before the throne"

The Harpers are in heavenly dwellers singing before the throne.

Did Revelation 7:9-11 say the voice Multitudes came from heaven?
Answer: No! Not at all.

Did Revelation 7:9-11 say the Multitudes are dwelling in heaven?
Answer: No !

Do angels and spirits in heaven owe their salvation to Jesus Christ?
No,not at all. NEVER!




Let's Use a bible reference to answer your question.
When the sinner in Luke chapter 18 bow his head in prayer to God & the voice of Harpers in heaven giving worship.

Are the Harpers in heaven and the sinner on earth bowing to different God on two different thrones?

No !

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.

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.

So if you have another meaning take that with you and your fellow worshipers we have our own interpretation and it's God's presence not a literal throne! wink

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

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

Why is it that you don't want to talk about the account of the original twelve tribes of Israel as found at Exodus 1:1-5?


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

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?
