Jehovah's Witnesses understand the Scriptures to teach that exactly 144,000 humans will join Christ Jesus as kings and priests to administer God's Kingdom (which will soon replace all earthly governments) after Armageddon.
(Daniel 2:44) God of heaven will set up a kingdom... It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite
(Revelation 14:1) Lamb [Jesus] standing upon the Mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand
(Revelation 20:6) they will be priests of God and of the Christ, and will rule as kings with him
Over whom will they rule? Over the vast majority of mankind, most of whom will have been raised from the dead after Armageddon.
(John 11:23,24) Jesus said to her: “Your brother will rise.” Martha said to him: “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.”
(Acts 24:15) There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.
Until that resurrection, there is no suffering in "hell", or the grave. Sometime after the resurrection, death and "hell" will themselves be destroyed.
(Ecclesiastes 9:5) For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all
(Ecclesiastes 9:10) there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol ["hell"]
(Revelation 20:14) And death and Hades ["hell"] were hurled into the lake of fire
Almighty Jehovah God selects those few who have the heavenly calling from among godfearing worshippers, including many who were never Jehovah's Witnesses. Today, each true worshipper "feels" his own hope and each person's hope remains unquestioned by his fellow Christians. Still the vast majority (literally more than 99.9%*) of Jehovah's Witnesses expect an EARTHLY hope, the same hope given to Adam and Eve.
(Genesis 1:28) God blessed them and God said to them: “Be fruitful and become many and fill THE EARTH and subdue it [caps added]
(Genesis 2:17) You must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die [so never eating from that tree means never dying]
Interestingly, the Scriptures are full of references to this earthly hope.
(Psalms 37:11) 'the meek will possess the earth'
(Proverbs 2:21) 'upright will reside in the earth'
(Isaiah 45:18) 'God formed the earth to be inhabited'
(Matthew 5:5) 'the mild will inherit the earth'
(Revelation 21:3) The tent of God is with mankind

It takes time to propagate the generations your grandfathers had to come before you and your grandchildren after you…..all whom believe throughout the generations will rise at the last day to live in a new creation and be home with God the Father forever and their shall be no more death. The new creation is so vast this earth is but the size of a grain of sand in comparison and this mortal body is not the kind to inherit eternal life.

God created Earth before he created man. Maybe Man compencated the earth. we are an accsecory. Nothing in the Bible makes sence yet 33% of the human race beleives it to be true while other religions that also dont make sence take up the other %'s. You must have Faith...Study The Bible. not un educated kids on Yahoo answers and smart *** athiest who dont take your questions seriously..If you really seek the answers..Study and Research.

No God but ALLAH, the creator and governor of every thing
Did ye think that ye would enter Heaven without Allah testing those of you who fought hard (in His Cause) and remained steadfast?
Or do ye think that ye shall enter the Garden (of Bliss) without such (trials) as came to those who passed away before you? They encountered suffering and adversity, and were so shaken in spirit that even the Messenger and those of faith who were with him cried: "When (will come) the help of Allah" ah! verily, the help of Allah is (always) near!

God is preparing us for heaven here on earth. You may not understand it and nobody fully understands this except God. Just do what is right for we are all in a test. :)

If life were easy, there would be no reward in heaven. Not all people are going to heaven, if you don't repent and ask for forgiviness and ask Jesus Christ to come into your heart, then you're not getting into heaven. You have to be saved.

Relax - God is imaginary and hence didn't create earth or anything else so don't trouble yourself with the logical absurdities arising from belief in the non-existent.
