i heard in the bible it says that only 40,000 people will go to heaven. is this ture?

Answer 1

It's not true

Answer 2

Ask anyone who " Thinks" they going to Heaven.." Tell me what are you going to Do there?".. and they Dont know. The Bible says that 144,000 Become Kings & Priests and Rule with Christ. The Idea that going to Heaven is going to be this walking around, kicking back, floating on Clouds, playing Harps is all Nonsense.
There are already 200,000,000 Angels in Heaven. God does not need to Fill the Heavens with " Good" people. Plus many people who " think " they going there are Just Not. Jesus says so.. Not Me.!!!
Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of the heavens,” said Jesus Christ, “but the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will. Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not . . . perform many powerful works in your name?’ And yet then I will confess to them: I never knew you! Get away from me, you workers of lawlessness.”—Matthew 7:21-23.
That Means Many will be able to do powerful works In Jesus Name, but obviously its Through the Power of Satan. That should come as No surprise since that statement has been around for 2,000 years.

Answer 3

144,000 The apostle John wrote: “I heard the number of those who were sealed, a hundred and forty-four thousand.” (Revelation 7:4) In the Bible, the phrase “those who were sealed” refers to a group of individuals who are chosen from among mankind to rule with Christ in heaven over the coming Paradise earth. (2 Corinthians 1:21, 22; Revelation 5:9, 10; 20:6) Their number, 144,000, is understood literally for several reasons. One is found in the immediate context of Revelation 7:4.
After the apostle John was told in vision about this group of 144,000 individuals, he was shown another group. John describes this second group as “a great crowd, which no man was able to number, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues.” This great crowd refers to those who will survive the coming “great tribulation,” which will destroy the present wicked world.—Revelation 7:9, 14.

Answer 4

No. If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved. God puts no limit on how many people. What is needed is repentance of sin and faith in Jesus Christ.

Jehovah's Witnesses have got to be among the most confused people I've ever seen. The bible clearly teaches the 144,000 are Jewish males who will spread the gospel in the end times....their number has zero to do with who makes it to heaven.

Answer 5

no
Revelation 7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands

Answer 6

No.
You're referring to the 144,000 Jews who are "sealed" - spared from harm - in the end times.

The assembly in Heaven will be innumerable.

Answer 7

it would be unwise to believe what you hear and the texts is there for the reading, I prefer king James version of the bible, there will be multitudes entering heaven!

Answer 8

It's 144,000 - the twelve tribes, 12,000 per tribe - and I think only the Jehovah's Witnesses interpret it that literally.

Answer 9

Revelation 7:1-12
1 After these things I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, on the sea, or on any tree. 2 Then I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God. And he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, 3 saying, "Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads." 4 And I heard the number of those who were sealed. One hundred and forty-four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel were sealed: 5 of the tribe of Judah twelve thousand were sealed; F51 of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand were sealed; 6 of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand were sealed; 7 of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand were sealed; 8 of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand were sealed. 9 After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 10 and crying out with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!" 11 All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12 saying: "Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom, Thanksgiving and honor and power and might, Be to our God forever and ever. Amen."
I know the cult of the Jehovah's witnesses take this literally as this is the finite number of people going to heaven, I don't know if anyone else believes it.

Answer 10

Yes, that's true. And 39879 have already gone there. These others are just pretending to believe they have a shot at it. They probably buy lottery tickets, too.

Answer 11

No the JW believe that only 144, 000 are going to heaven, but they are wrong also....
