144,000 Revelations = tribes of Israel
In the beginning they taught the JWs were the 144,000. Later when there were a lot more than 144,000, they had to revise who the 144,000 are.
If you have studied anthropology .. if you have a hint about dna and bone structure.
If you look at the early faces of Native Americans, they look nothing like the general population of Americans today.
The original Israelites were not Anglo Saxons, were not white face Europeans. The original Israelites were composed of Asians and Africans. The bulk of JWs I see are white like me.
Abraham, Sarah ... Chaldeans.. ancient Iraqis.
There was no such thing as an Israelite to Jacob/Israel produced his first son. The 12 sons of Israel produced their children with Iraquis, Canaanites (palestinians) Egyptians. Later to mingle with all the Asian tribes they were commanded to drive out.
When the Israelites entered Egypt, the only daughter did not make it.. she died..
Those who entered Egypt.. Joseph first, his brothers and their children.. ALL males except one grand daughter who was the daughter of a Chaldean slave.
52 male Israelite entered Egypt.. one female. So who were the mothers of the tribes of Israel .. no other Israelites on earth.
In Egypt what women were taken to be the mothers of all future Israelite's?
Who are the 144,000 in Revelations.. the tribes of Israel
Do the JWs claim they are Israelite descendants?
REVELATION 007:004` And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
One tribe is not mentioned but the total is 144,000 and it states ALL OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL.. ISRAELITES
REVELATION 007:005` Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.
REVELATION 007:006` Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.
REVELATION 007:007` Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.
REVELATION 014|001` And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
.... his fathers name written on their heads
REVELATION 014|003` And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
... they will sing a song no other man could learn
REVELATION 014|004` These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth.
These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits to God and to the Lamb.
... they are virgin males
REVELATION 007:008` Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
REVELATION 021:012` And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
The JWs claim that 144,000 of the chosen are Jehovah Witnesses who will live in heaven and the rest of them will live here on earth after they die.
The scriptures identify the 144,000
* As physical descendants of the Israelites
* Having the name of his father on their foreheads
* Would sing a song no other could learn
* All virgins
* All males
That would eliminate any female Jehovah Witnesses and it would eliminate any males who were not virgins and it would eliminate all who were not Israelites
HERE IS THE FULL STORY ABOUT THE 144,000
