Consider who that King is. In “a dream and visions” given to him, Daniel beheld the Ruler of God’s Kingdom as “someone like a son of man” brought before Almighty God and given lasting “rulership and dignity and kingdom.” (Daniel 7:1, 13, 14) That Son of man is none other than Jesus Christ—the Messiah. (Matthew 16:13-17) Jehovah God designated his own Son, Jesus, to be King of His Kingdom. When on earth, Jesus said to the wicked Pharisees: “The kingdom of God is in your midst,” meaning that he, the future King of that Kingdom, was among them.—Luke 17:21.

JWs don´t denied that Jesus is god but he is not Jehovah the God almighty, all the sons of God are gods according to Psalms 82:6 and if Jesus is the son of God he is god also.

MARK0011: is false what the JWs teach that Jesus will rule this planet after Armageddon during 1000 years and will transform this planet in a paradise as his father jehovah decided in Genesis 1:27-28?
can you prove that with the bible that is false? and if you can´t then is cause it is true then why you are not preaching that?

There are dozens of Scriptures which plainly show that Jesus is lesser than (and subject to) Almighty Jehovah God the Father. Obviously, all of the authority which Jesus received was delegated to him by Almighty Jehovah (God the Father).
Here are a few Scriptures which show that Almighty Jehovah is the source of the authority that has been given to Jesus Christ.
(Acts 2:36) God made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you impaled.
(Matthew 28:18) And [the resurrected] Jesus approached and spoke to them, saying: “All authority has been GIVEN me in heaven and on the earth.
(John 3:35) The Father loves the Son and has GIVEN all things into his hand.
(Acts 5:31) GOD EXALTED this one as Chief Agent and Savior
(Daniel 7:14) And to him there WERE GIVEN rulership and dignity and kingdom
(Matthew 11:27) All things HAVE BEEN DELIVERED TO ME by my Father, and no one fully knows the Son but the Father, neither does anyone fully know the Father but the Son and anyone to whom the Son is willing to reveal him.
(Philippians 2:9) For this very reason also GOD EXALTED HIM to a superior position
(1 Peter 3:22) [Jesus] went his way to heaven; and angels and authorities and powers WERE MADE SUBJECT to him.
(1 Corinthians 15:25) For [Jesus] must rule as king until GOD HAS PUT all enemies under his feet.
(Psalm 110:1) The utterance of Jehovah to my Lord [Jesus] is: “Sit... Until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet.”
Incidentally, where is Jesus' exhalted position? It is NOT replacing Jehovah God, because Jesus remains humbly at Jehovah's right hand.
(Psalm 110:1) The utterance of Jehovah to my Lord is: “Sit at my right hand Until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet.”
(Ephesians 1:19-20) the mightiness of [God's] strength, with which he has operated in the case of the Christ when he raised him up from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places
(Acts 7:55,56) [Stephen], being full of holy spirit, gazed into heaven and caught sight of God’s glory and of Jesus standing at God’s right hand, and he said: “Look! I behold the heavens opened up and the Son of man standing at God’s right hand.”
(Matthew 26:64) Jesus said to him: “...From henceforth you will see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power
(Romans 8:34) Christ Jesus is the one who died, yes, rather the one who was raised up from the dead, who is on the right hand of God
(Colossians 3:1) Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
(Hebrews 1:3) [Jesus] sat down on the right hand of the Majesty in lofty places.
(Hebrews 8:1) Now as to the things being discussed this is the main point: We have such a high priest as this, and he has sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,
(Hebrews 10:12) But this man [Jesus] offered one sacrifice for sins perpetually and sat down at the right hand of God,
(Hebrews 12:2) Look intently at the Chief Agent and Perfecter of our faith, Jesus. ...he endured a torture stake, despising shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
(1 Peter 3:22) He [Jesus] is at God’s right hand, for he went his way to heaven

Jesus and the 144,000 humans bought from the earth are made up the Kingdom. Jehovah God chose Jesus to be the head King and other 144,000 (also kings) are co-rulers with Jesus. Jehovah gave Jesus total control to restore the earth into paradise like the Garden of Eden. After everything is back to Jehovah's original purpose (mankind back to perfect health) then he will turn over the kingdom to his Father Jehovah. - 1 Cor 15:24-28; Rev 5:9-10.

Oi! How is it that Witnesses are "insulting God"?!
We are the only ones speaking the truth about him! Jesus is NOT God.
God didn't "give up" his kingdom. He just entrusted to his son for a time. Imperfect mankind needs a mediator to approach God for them. That mediator is Christ.
During the 1,000 year reign of Christ however, people will be brought to perfect- physically and spiritually and after that Jesus hands the Kingdom back to his father. Mankind will no longer be imperfect and they'll enjoy a personal relationship with Jehovah God as Adam had before his sinned.
Jesus has been in control of the Kingdom since 1914... the Bible also says he would "rule in the midst of his enemies". But Jehovah is not ready for the end to come just yet. And thankfully so- that gives people more time to know him.
If you'd like references, just let me know. I'm feeling a wee bit lazy right now and am relying solely on memory.
Good question.

To set you all straight God is Jehovah Psalms 83;18 is creator of all things including angels
Jesus is head angel Michael given to Virgin Mary to have son,perfect son Jesus
Spirit given thru God so Jesus the son,can do his will on Earth.Now in heaven at the right hand of Jehovah.
Witnesses know this the info that is wrong on the answer part makes me wonder if you need to study a little bit.

For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life. And in the last days the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite. Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. Let your kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth. Amen.

Correct.
For a limited 1,000 years. (Rev. 20:4)
1Cr 15:24 Then [cometh] the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God.
John 1:14
And the Word was made flesh, and dwell among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
Jesus is the Word made flesh and was with God in the beginning and is God.
God - 3 different roles, so to speak,
Father - the creator God of all
Son - Jesus, God made into flesh
Holy Spirit - God to teach, annoint, live in us and us in Him

What is your question? What is it you wish punters to advise you of? All Christians know that Jesus is the King of the Kingdom. This is not news to them. Do ask us an interesting question because we are all here to help!
