jahova witness question?

Question

on what grounds or proof from the bible do they have that they would be the only ones in heaven. i would like to know, i am just curious.

Answer 1

The premise of this "question" is entirely false.

Jehovah's Witnesses do not suppose that they are the only ones resurrected to heaven, and in fact feel quite certain that many of those resurrected to heaven will have never read a Watchtower magazine or set foot in a Kingdom Hall.

Regarding the resurrection of humans to heaven, 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
(Luke 12:32) Have no fear, LITTLE FLOCK [with a heavenly hope], because your Father has approved of giving you the kingdom [rulership alongside the Christ] [caps added]
(John 10:16) And I [Jesus] have OTHER SHEEP, which are not of this fold; those also I must bring [to be subjects of the kingdom] [caps added]

Over whom will they rule? Over those "other sheep", 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

the bible says that only 144,000 are redeem from earth to rule in heaven (Revelation 14:1-5) that group are people chosen by God since Jesus´s time until now not all of them were Jehovah´s witness but truly worshipper as Jesus said in John 4:23-24. of course then me we choosed (JWs) is cause Isaiah 43:10, Jesus was Jehovah´s witness according to Isaiah 55:4-6.

Why only 144,000 if we are more or less 7 millions assuming we all receive mercy of God? we are not stupids to not derise go to heaven but that is God´s decision not us, cause the majority of people that obey Jesus´s command will inherit the earth (Matthew 5:5)

God decide that humans will live in earth (Genesis 1:27-28) and that is what Jesus will do with the earth during his kingdom.

Answer 3

Im a Jehovah's Witness & ive never met any that said they were going to heaven most of the witness i know have the earthly paradise hope not heavenly hope i dont feel worthy enough to go to heaven, only the ones that are chosen of the 144,000 of Rev 14:1-5. Alot of people have the wrong information if someone told you the witnesses are the only ones go to heaven ive never heard them say that. some one told you something that they dont know what theyre talking about. heres the majority's hope.
Psalms 37:9,11
Psalms 37:29
Matt 5:5
2 Peter 3:13
Rev 21:3,4
hope this clears it up......

Answer 4

.We believe only 144,000 are of the anointed that will go there. The book of Revelation explains this.

Rev.14 :1 reads, " and I saw and , look! the Lamb standing upon Mt. Zion, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand having his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads. "

see also Rev 14 :3
Rev. 7 : 4,9

the proof you ask for are in these scriptures. please read them and you will have your answer.

also, the limited number (144,000) is referred to at Rev 5 : 9,10 and Rev 20:4

please speak with a local witness and they will be happy to further explain this, to resolve any more questions you might have

please also see 2 peter 3 :13
Psalms 37:9-11

I have an earthly hope myself. I look forward to the times spoken about in these Scriptures

Answer 5

Jehovah Witnesses believe that only 144,000 will enter into the kingdom of heaven, and only those JW's who are "the chosen" are also of that number/group. It's all a matter of self interpretation, and identification!!!

Answer 6

Jesus told his apostles he was going ahead of them to make a place for them that where he was they would be also.
They would rule with him over the earth when the government changes from physical man rule to invisible God rule.
He sealed the number he would take from the earth to dwell in mansions in heaven...and they will rule as kings and lords with Christ.
