Is heaven on earth like the Jehovah witness teaches or in the sky?

Answer 1

Jehovah's Witnesses understand heaven to refer to the dwelling place of spirit creatures such as Jesus and the angels. They 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).
(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

Answer 2

I happen to know for a fact thatJehovahs Witnesses never taught that heaven was here on earth it is a spiritual non corporeal realm that flesh and blood cannot inhabit 1st cor 15:50 the Bible does say that the earth wil be a paradise Ps 37:9-11,29 and others more can be supplied at your request Gorbalizer

Answer 3

Jehovah's Witnesses do not teach a heaven on earth. Heaven is Jehovah's domain. His purpose for the earth is for it to be filled with perfect humans who love their God and one another.

Answer 4

I have no idea what they teach. But in the "end", Jesus comes down, believers ascend, and return for the Millennial reign, then there is Armeggedon, or the battle at Meggiddo, and the god creates a new heaven and a new earth. We will reside in heaven. Satan and all liars, adulterers, theifs, and murderers are thrown into the lake of fire.

Answer 5

We do not teach that heaven is on earth. We teach that the earth will be a paradise as God originally intended and that the meek will inherit it and live forever upon it. Sound familiar??

Answer 6

Heaven is where God lives....it does say we will rule with Jesus here on earth in the new world.

Answer 7

Any intellectual Pursuit of God is doomed to fail because it always seeks God as something external.

You can never find something by looking where it is not.

Jesus said that the kingdom of God is within each of us. The moment we stop looking For God in silly places like clouds called heaven. We find him/her exactly where Jesus always said God was.

God waits patiently within for you to notice Her exactly where Jesus always told us he would be.

Love and blessings.
