Lets see how many know the answer to this ?

Question

How many make up the annointed class?

Answer 1

Take a look at the following scriptures:

Revelation 14:1,3 and Revelation 7:4 - These indicate that there is a finite number of those who are bought from the earth to rule in heaven, specifically 144,000.

Revelation 5:9,10 - This speaks of the jobs which these anointed ones have in heaven, namely, kings and priests ruling over those on earth.

Psalm 72:7,8 - This indicates where the subjects of God's Kingdom (as opposed to its rulers) will reside. See also Psalm 37:8-11, 29.

Revelation 7:9 - This speaks of a separate group of ones who cannot be numbered, indicating those who will live on the earth under God's heavenly kingdom rule by these anointed ones along with the appointed King, Jesus Christ.

It all just makes so much sense, doesn't it? I am so happy to be a servant of the most high God, Jehovah, and look forward to the time when his Kingdom will be fully realized on earth, as it is in heaven, just as promised. (Matthew 6:9,10)

Answer 2

The first answer is correct,and not the one talking about a multitude, because even that answerer will acknowledge that Revelation says AFTER the 144,000 (which are not Jews only, because two of those tribes are not the same tribes in the Hebrew Scriptures--cross reference Revelation 7:4-8 with Genesis 49:3-28. They are not all the same). The 144,000 are said to rule with Christ in heaven as kings and priests; they will be anointed as such, much like kings in ancient Hebrew times were anointed with oil (Revelation 20:6). They will rule over that multitude of people who stand before God's footstool, the Earth (Rev 7:9, 10; Isa 66:1).

Answer 3

144,000 will make up the annointed class and become kings and priests over the earth. Other Christians will be subjects under them on paradise earth.

Answer 4

Considering the billions of human beings who have lived since Adam and Eve, and all those yet to be born in the many years to come, 144,000 out of Billions and billions is nothing. What are your chances of being one of 144,000? Slim?

Answer 5

If your answer would be the 144,000 that someone else has already posted then you would be incorrect. That's one of those false interpretations foisted on the gullible by Jehovah's witnesses.

The actual answer is that there are a multitude.

Revelation 7:4 And I heard the number of the sealed, 144,000, sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel: 5 12,000 from the tribe of Judah were sealed, 12,000 from the tribe of Reuben, 12,000 from the tribe of Gad, 6 12,000 from the tribe of Asher, 12,000 from the tribe of Naphtali, 12,000 from the tribe of Manasseh, 7 12,000 from the tribe of Simeon, 12,000 from the tribe of Levi, 12,000 from the tribe of Issachar, 8 12,000 from the tribe of Zebulun, 12,000 from the tribe of Joseph, 12,000 from the tribe of Benjamin were sealed.

9 After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 10 and crying out with a loud voice, "Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!"

Answer 6

An unknown number.

2 Corinthians 1:21 Now He which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath ANOINTED US, is God.

Whoever is saved. Did I get it right?

Answer 7

That number refers to mystics who control the illusion of our physical world.

Answer 8

every person that has been anointed.

Do you have a particular "class" of people in mind?


144,000 is Old Testament Jews.

Answer 9

The ones in whom GOD Anoints, which are many!.....
