144,000

The Watchtower Society teaches that 144,000 are all that go to heaven. The majority of that number were chosen in the first century but in the past century and a half Jehovah has renewed the calling and choosing from among the International Bible Students and now Jehovah's Witnesses.

so someone in hell now have a chance to accept Christ in the thousand year reign? that's confusing me.

@AaronTrutsJC It is confusing to you because you do not have a basic understanding of the truth. Go to the Watchtower's website and enter the word "hell" into their search engine. That might bring you up to speed on the basics.

I think the problem that Christian have with the interpretation of the 144,000 by WTS. That they believe that only anointed JWs will make up this number. Now where in the bible is there any female representation in the 144,000? Who make up the tribe of Joseph? How do we how many of the 144,000 are still on earth - who is keeping track and when did the countdown begin?

@happydays906 I do not judge you or anyone else. I just know you don't know the truth. And if you are like most people who call themselves "Christians" you have no inclination or desire to know the truth. You are content to believe what you are told to believe. You wallow in ignorance and are smugly content to do so because you have so much company.

@ewatchmandotcom Lol! Wow! What a hate-filled little man you are! Until you can actually guarantee that you have any capability whatsoever to judge another human being by the spirit within them, something that only God himself can do, then I wouldn't waste the time of my day worrying about whether you think Jesus is going to destroy me or anyone else for that matter!

@happydays906 True, like Solomon said, you can pound a fool with a mortar and pestal and their foolishness will not depart from them. Likewise it is inevitable that you "believers" will embrace your nonsensical beliefs up until Christ destroys you all. Pity it has to be that way.

[happydays906]

@ewatchmandotcom Lol! I think you just proved to everyone that it is you who is the the ignorant and untaught one. Jesus words are as clear as daylight. You can try all you like to talk around it, make excuses about it, and deliberately misinterpret his words but your so-called explanation ( a pile of jw drivel) won't wash with other believers!

@happydays906 It is not a case of Jesus being a liar, it is just that you do not understand what Jesus meant. Jesus clearly stated that no one can enter the kingdom less they are born from the holy spirit. The anointing spirit was not given until after Jesus returned to heaven. Besides, Jesus is the firstborn as regards all who are born again. So, no one before Christ was anointed. Jesus simply used Abraham in a representative way. Of course, those who are ignorant and untaught can't grasp it.

Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the 144'000 is made up of people who come ONLY under Christ's new covenant. This means that it cannot be inclusive of any of the old testament characters. However,in Mathew chpt 8:11 (NWT) Jesus states clearly "But I tell you, many from eastern parts will come and recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in THE KINGDOM OF THE HEAVENS." Jw's try to make Jesus out to be a liar!!!
