Another question I am asking myself is does God's purpose for the Earth use all people or only some people. I think the answer is some people. It may be what 144,000 means. I know the Jehovah's Witesses' doctrine says it is a literal number of exactly 144,000 souls but I don't agree 144,000 is for numbering souls. It is for realizing that only some people have a mind and the attitude to obey God in connection with the accomplishment of God's will be done. Everyone else praying for it is like a chorus so they are involved too but you see, not really. They would be to assist for the significant down-to-earth matters of any one of the 144,000. People say the sheep of Jesus' illustration are believers who in some kind way assist anyone who is in need. (Matthew 25:31-46) But isn't it about helping Jesus' brothers (and sisters), the 144,000 which of course, like I said above, is not a literal number?
Matthew 25:40 In reply the King will say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’
I think that is one thing the JWs got right which is the brothers written at Matthew 25:40 does not mean any human being. But they say the governing body members are Jesus's brothers and the scripture is about doing good to them. There are A LOT of people doing them good.
