Jehovahs Witnesses
Yes, they do believe that. They believe that before Satan was cast out of heaven, Jesus was once named Michael and that he was the one who expelled the Devil from heaven. (Revelation 12:9-12)
In Jehovah's Witnesses' beliefs, the 144,000 mentioned in the Bible from the Book of Revelation represent a specific group of Christians chosen by God for a heavenly calling. They believe that this group has been selected throughout history and will reign with Jesus in heaven. This belief is not exclusive to the Jehovah's Witnesses organization but is a common interpretation among some Christian denominations.
According to Jehovah's Witnesses beliefs, only 144,000 chosen individuals will go to heaven.
Witnesses believe Jesus ascended to heaven after his death on earth.
If u are refering to the beliefs of Jehovahs wittnesses then we do not belive that Jehovah will ever get here (the earth). Jehovah lives and will forever live in heaven. For more information contact a kingdom hall of Jehovahs wittnesses in your area. Or visit watchtower.org
Most of Jehovah's Witnesses have absolutely NO DESIREto get to heaven. Our parents never taught us about a need to get to heaven; and we didn't teach our children about needing to get to heaven.When we go from house-to-house, we don't teach people about getting to heaven.We teach others what the Bible says in Psalm 37:11. "The meek" will have a different inheritance. The meek "shall inherit THE EARTH" - - NOT heaven.When we pray the Lord's Prayer -- we DON'T pray to go to heaven; we pray for God's Kingdom TO COME. Then we pray: "Thy will be done ON EARTH, as it is in heaven." Why would we need to go to heaven, if God's will is done on earth, as it is in heaven?True, the Bible does teach about heaven also. Jesus went to heaven. Of course, Jesus had to be 'saved' to get there. Jesus was dead. So Jehovah saved him. Yes Jesus had to be saved. Likewise if God chooses anyone else to be with him in heaven, Jehovah would have to 'save' them. So they would 'have to be saved' as your question asks.But Jehovah's Witnesses are not interested in getting to heaven; and we don't teach it to others; our children included.
Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the 144,000 individuals mentioned in the Bible will be chosen to rule with Jesus in heaven.
Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Satan was cast down to Earth in the early 1900s as part of their interpretation of biblical prophecy, particularly drawing from Revelation 12:7-12. They associate this event with the establishment of God's Kingdom in heaven in 1914, which they view as a pivotal year marking the beginning of the "last days" or end times. This belief is tied to their understanding of the signs of the times and the increase of global turmoil and moral decline they interpret as evidence of Satan's influence on Earth.
Jehovah's Witnesses don't use that term; some Witnesses don't even know what it means although others realize that it is a Catholic ceremony and as such Witnesses have no part of it, as it is considered to be part of false religious worship. We don't use so many terms found in mainstream Christendom, like 'rapture', or 'eternal torment' or 'immortal soul'. And even though we strongly believe in Jesus, we don't even celebrate Christmas.But if this helps; the vast majority of Jehovah's Witnesses don't have any desire to getting into heaven. The Bible states that 'the meek' will have a different 'inheritance'. They "shall inherit the earth'; -- not heaven. So there is no need for communion; because most Witnesses believe that they will not share with Christ as kings, priest, and judges, only a minority of Witnesses have such a hope -- We consider ourselves to be the 'the meek' who submit to Christ's Kingship, along with those God chose to rule with him 'OVER the earth', the 'new earth'.
Someone must have misinformed you, because we don't believe that. Jesus'ascensionto heaven, as recorded at Acts 1:1-11, occurred forty days after hisresurrectionon Nisan 16 (Jewish calendar) in the spring of the year 33.
