Twelve Tribes of Heaven and Earth in the Bible Truth Picture

Comment:

Let’s stop the WT’s rhetoric of reasoning. I gave you the unadulterated scriptures which proves that your “governing body” was in gross error about the new covenant, the 144,000 alleged anointed ones, and the small flock.
Please provide just one single example from the scriptures where the O.T. covenant can be shown to only be applied to the Levitical priesthood or any other small group whom the Watchtower authority has deem worthy of being apart of the 144,000 body of Christ(sic) and only covered by the new covenant?
Is it really worthy getting this much embarassment for some lousy “active witnessing hours”?.

Twelve Tribes of Heaven and Earth in the Bible Truth Picture

So we see Jehovah is NOT topical and simpleton like the churches, who add sideline complication, rather than progress with the actuality of the depth of God. We see that the “Twelve Tribe” symbol has a heavenly Bride significance, that will extending INTO the “Twelve Tribes” earthly counterpart as those “tribes” of the whole human race, are brought out of Adam, into Jesus Christ’s physical and spiritual perfection as the man; Last Adam Eternal Father.

The 12 Tribes of Heaven’s 144000 12×12000 will be the extension’s of Christ perfection to literally, “take the sin of the world away”. Adam is the foremost “member”, he IS that sin that must betaken away – forgiveness itself is NOT enough to “cure” mankind as in Rev221-3, the “healing of the nations”, an EARTHLY human terminology that we understand are the “12 Tribes” of earth – far beyond the constraints of the faithless Jewish fleshly terminal death family, they are limited, and now cast away. (All prophesied long before their final criminal acts as a “nation”.)

The Twelve Tribes of earth are to be Re-Created* (Matt 19:28)

Well the ” ReGenesis*” picture is simple, let’s cover this “12 Tribes”:

(Matthew 19:28) In the re-creation, when the Son of man sits down upon his glorious throne, YOU who have followed me will also yourselves sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Now obviously the 144000 on Mount Zion WITH the lamb, and the 12×12000 of Revelation are NOT the 12 tribes which are being “judged”, they are NOT subject to the “second death” (eternal destruction) which humans are. (Rev2:11; Rev20:6)

That is just plain logical – as it is also foregleamed in the Israel typical Atonement Day arrangement as well, even the sacrifices of the bull and rams are for a greater purpose in this greater meaning.

Jesus is the “Jew” Last Adam

And as Jesus Christ is the ” Jew” Last Adam, though a man NOT limited to fleshly Jew limitations, he being the “second man” out of heaven, he must fulfill the grand meaning of “Last Adam” – and “see his offspring” (Isa53:10). That is, whether the “Jews” like it or not, Jesus Christ is the “Leader of the Covenant” who is the Master Father of the “12 Tribes” to be restored back to Abel, A MUCH GREATER PICTURE THAN ISRAEL IN THE FLESH. And incidentally, Jesus did ALL this legally by perfect performance, in fact he received “undeserved hatred” and curse to secure these rights as promised, sworn and contracted by the Almighty God. Jesus is the irreversible heir of everything now, including the eternal earth system, life, creation and mankind. He is the becoming of the “Eternal Purpose” of Jehovah, to the “founding of the world”, even before it, because this as ALL being RE-founded into Christ Last Adam. “All things made new” Big time!!

Fleshly Israel is NOT the End All

And rightly so that Israel is a far cry from the ultimate meaning, Israel is just a shadow, NOT the end all, Israel was “cast away” so that the nations may now be collected into a far far far bigger picture than one national people in sin, who broke the covenant. (Israel in the flesh is “received again” in the 1000 year reign by resurrection; (Eom11:15)) These things are now “new creation”, a “people once not a people”, the heavenly destined “Israel of God” which racial and religious Jews of earth are no more valid than any other Babylon the Great faction. They are stagnant in a past that is “near to vanishing away” (Heb8:13). (1Pet2:10;  Gal6:16)

Twelve Tribe “Bride” Class

So for great divine reasons, the 12 Tribes of the 144000 “Bride”, must interact with Jesus Isa9′s Eternal Father to produce “offspring” -  A RECREATED IN LAST ADAM HUMAN RACE (“12 Tribes” at the “entrance” as pictured in typical DoA – the ram blood covered “sheep”), easy to see the heavenly Bride WILL NOT BE A BARREN WOMAN, and Jesus the “Bull Blood” will be far from an impotent sterile Eternal Father. [1_PS45](See end section)

Earthly Twelve Tribe “Illegitimate” Children

So let’s cover the future children of the paradise re-creation, these are currently in Adamic Satanic corrupted by sin “image of God” has been lost (illegitimate “children” of Adam at present”) – Then we will discuss the “Bride” and Eternal Father 144001, with Jesus as spiritual Israel’s main heir, the Father being Jehovah – but for now here are the”12 Tribes” of earth’s “re-creation”:

*** w08 1/15 p. 30 Highlights From the Book of Matthew

19:28—What is represented by “the twelve tribes of Israel” that will be judged? They do not represent the 12 tribes of spiritual Israel. (Gal. 6:16; Rev. 7:4-8) The apostles to whom Jesus was speaking were going to be part of spiritual Israel, not judges of its members. Jesus made ‘a covenant with them for a kingdom,’ and they were to be ‘a kingdom and priests to God.’ (Luke 22:28-30; Rev. 5:10) Those of spiritual Israel are to “judge the world.” (1 Cor. 6:2) Hence, “the twelve tribes of Israel,” whom those on the heavenly thrones judge, evidently represent the world of mankind who are outside that royal, priestly class, as pictured by the 12 tribes on Atonement Day.—Lev., chap. 16.

*** w68 7/1 p. 394 par. 4 Part 1—Empowering a Priesthood for Effectual Service

The assembly congregated at the entrance. ([Lev8 8] Vs. 3) “And make all the assembly congregate at the entrance of the tent of meeting.” The assembly of all those nonpriestly tribes points to a multitude out of all nations that must in due time be assembled and instructed as to the opportunities and requirements for life. Such gathered ones correspond to “the twelve tribes of Israel” over whom the heavenly priesthood under Christ Jesus is destined to rule. (Matt. 19:28) In modern fulfillment we have observed, particularly from and after the year 1935, the assembly of a great crowd of Jehovah’s earthly “sheep” who are vitally interested in his provision for their eventual reconciliation with him.

*** w09 8/1 p. 22 About Mankind’s Future

Jesus said: “In the re-creation, when the Son of man sits down upon his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also yourselves sit upon twelve thrones.” (Matthew 19:28) The rule by Jesus and his followers will result in “the re-creation,” or renewal, of the perfect conditions that the first human couple enjoyed on earth before they sinned.

*** w09 8/15 p. 8 Everlasting Life on Earth—A Christian Hope?

Everlasting Life “in the Re-Creation”

4 The Bible teaches that anointed Christians will be resurrected to rule over the earth from heaven. (Luke 12:32; Rev. 5:9, 10; 14:1-3) When Jesus spoke about everlasting life, however, he did not always have only that group in mind. Consider what he said to his disciples after the rich young man turned away grieved at the invitation to leave all his belongings behind and become a follower of Christ. (Read Matthew 19:28, 29.) Jesus told his apostles that they would be among those who would rule as kings and judge “the twelve tribes of Israel,” that is, the world of mankind outside that heavenly ruling class. (1 Cor. 6:2) He also spoke of a reward for “everyone” who follows him. Such individuals too “will inherit everlasting life.” All of this is to take place “in the re-creation.”

5 What did Jesus mean by “the re-creation”? The term is translated “the new world” in The Bible—An American Translation. It is rendered “when all is made new” in The Jerusalem Bible and “the renewal of all things” in The Holy Bible—New International Version. Since Jesus used the term without explanation, he evidently referred to what had been the Jewish hope for centuries. There was to be a re-creation of conditions on earth, so that things would be as they were in the garden of Eden before Adam and Eve sinned. The re-creation will fulfill God’s promise of “creating new heavens and a new earth.”—Isa. 65:17

So this is a far grander story than the simpleton error of SDA Creed 27, and all the demon inspired utterance that led Ellen White to that error, she has been compromised, and her “fruitage” reveals the source of her leaven was far more than just human error.

[1_PS45]

Now let’s look at reality of the true Bride Class:

*** re chap. 42 pp. 301-304 pars. 3-9 A New Heaven and a New Earth ***

John continues: “I saw also the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God and prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.” (Revelation 21:2) New Jerusalem is the bride of Christ, made up of the anointed Christians who remain faithful to death and who are raised to become kings and priests with the glorified Jesus. (Revelation 3:12; 20:6) Just as earthly Jerusalem became the seat of government in ancient Israel, the magnificent New Jerusalem and her Bridegroom make up the government of the new system of things. This is the new heaven. The ‘bride comes down out of heaven,’ not literally, but in the sense of directing attention to the earth. The Lamb’s bride is to be his loyal helpmeet in operating a righteous government over all mankind. A blessing indeed for the new earth!

4 John tells us further: “With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: ‘Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them.’” (Revelation 21:3) When Jehovah made the Law covenant with the then new nation of Israel, he promised: “I shall certainly put my tabernacle in the midst of you, and my soul will not abhor you. And I shall indeed walk in the midst of you and prove myself your God, and you, on your part, will prove yourselves my people.” (Leviticus 26:11, 12) Now Jehovah is making a similar promise to faithful humans. During the thousand-year Judgment Day, they will become a very special people to him.

5 During the Millennial Reign, Jehovah will “reside” among mankind in a temporary arrangement, he being represented by his royal Son, Jesus Christ. At the end of the Thousand Year Reign, however, when Jesus hands the Kingdom over to his Father, no royal representative or intercessor will be needed. Jehovah will reside spiritually with “his peoples” in a permanent and direct way. (Compare John 4:23, 24.) What a lofty privilege for restored humanity!

6 John goes on to say: “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” (Revelation 21:4) Once again, we are reminded of earlier inspired promises. Isaiah also looked forward to the time when death and mourning would be no more and grief would be replaced by exultation. (Isaiah 25:8; 35:10; 51:11; 65:19) John now confirms that these promises have a wonderful fulfillment during the thousand-year Judgment Day. First the great crowd will enjoy the blessings. “The Lamb, who is in the midst of the throne,” continuing to shepherd them, “will guide them to fountains of waters of life. And God will wipe out every tear from their eyes.” (Revelation 7:9, 17) But eventually all those who are resurrected and exercise faith in Jehovah’s provisions will be there with them, enjoying a paradise that is both spiritual and physical.

7 “At that time,” says Isaiah, “the eyes of the blind ones will be opened, and the very ears of the deaf ones will be unstopped.” Yes, “at that time the lame one will climb up just as a stag does, and the tongue of the speechless one will cry out in gladness.” (Isaiah 35:5, 6) At that time, too, “they will certainly build houses and have occupancy; and they will certainly plant vineyards and eat their fruitage. They will not build and someone else have occupancy; they will not plant and someone else do the eating. For like the days of a tree will the days of my people be; and the work of their own hands my chosen ones will use to the full.” (Isaiah 65:21, 22) So they will not be uprooted from the earth.

8 What magnificent foregleams fill our minds as we meditate on these promises! Wondrous provisions are in store for faithful mankind under heaven’s loving government. Are such promises too good to be true? Are they just the dreams of an old man exiled on the island of Patmos? Jehovah himself answers: “And the One seated on the throne said: ‘Look! I am making all things new.’ Also, he says: ‘Write, because these words are faithful and true.’ And he said to me: ‘They have come to pass! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end.’”—Revelation 21:5, 6a.

9 It is as though Jehovah himself were signing for faithful mankind a guarantee, or title deed, to these future blessings. Who would dare question such a Guarantor? Why, so certain are these promises of Jehovah that he speaks as though they were already fulfilled: “They have come to pass!” Is not Jehovah “the Alpha and the Omega . . . , the One who is and who was and who is coming, the Almighty”? (Revelation 1:8) Indeed he is! He himself declares: “I am the first and I am the last, and besides me there is no God.” (Isaiah 44:6) As such, he can inspire prophecies and fulfill them in every detail. How faith strengthening! So he promises: “Look! I am making all things new”! Rather than questioning whether these marvels will really happen, surely we should be wondering: ‘What do I personally have to do to inherit such blessings?’

*** re chap. 43 pp. 310-312 The Resplendent City ***

The River of Water of Life

19 The resplendent New Jerusalem will channel grand blessings to humankind on earth. This is what John next learns: “And he showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, flowing out from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of its broad way.” (Revelation 22:1, 2a) When does this “river” flow? Since it flows “out from the throne of God and of the Lamb,” it could only be after the Lord’s day began in 1914.

5/7

That was the time for the event heralded by the blowing of the seventh trumpet and the grand announcement: “Now have come to pass the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ.” (Revelation 11:15; 12:10) During the time of the end, the spirit and the bride have been inviting rightly disposed ones to take life’s water free. Water from this river will continue to be available to such ones right up to the end of this system of things and, thereafter, on into the new world, when New Jerusalem ‘comes down out of heaven from God.’—Revelation 21:2.

20 This is not the first time that life-giving water has been offered to mankind. When he was on earth, Jesus spoke of water that imparted everlasting life. (John 4:10-14; 7:37, 38) Further, John is about to hear the loving invitation: “The spirit and the bride keep on saying: ‘Come!’ And let anyone hearing say: ‘Come!’ And let anyone thirsting come; let anyone that wishes take life’s water free.” (Revelation 22:17)This invitation is being sounded even now, indicating that a measure of water of life is already available. But in the new world, those waters will flow from God’s throne and through New Jerusalem as a veritable river.

21 What is this “river of water of life”? Literal water is a vital element for life. Without food a man can survive for a number of weeks, but without water he will die in about one week. Water is also a cleansing agent and vital for health. Thus, the water of life must represent something essential for the life and health of mankind. The prophet Ezekiel was also granted a vision of this “river of water of life,” and in his vision, the river flowed out from the temple and down into the Dead Sea. Then, miracle of miracles! That lifeless, chemically saturated body of water was converted into freshwater teeming with fish! (Ezekiel 47:1-12) Yes, the visionary river brings back to life something that was previously dead, confirming that the river of water of life pictures God’s provision through Jesus Christ for restoring perfect human life to the “dead” human race. This river is “clear as crystal,” showing the purity and holiness of God’s provisions. It is not like the bloodstained, death-dealing “waters” of Christendom.—Revelation 8:10, 11.

22 The river originates at “the throne of God and of the Lamb.” This is appropriate, since the basis of Jehovah’s life-giving provisions is the ransom sacrifice, and this was provided because Jehovah “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.” (John 3:16) The water of life also involves God’s Word, which is spoken of as water in the Bible. (Ephesians 5:26) However, the river of water of life includes not only the truth but also every other provision of Jehovah, based on Jesus’ sacrifice, for recovering obedient humans from sin and death and granting them everlasting life.—John 1:29; 1 John 2:1, 2.

23 During the Thousand Year Reign, the benefits of the ransom are applied fully through the priesthood of Jesus and his 144,000 underpriests. Fittingly, then, the river of water of life flows through the middle of the broad way of New Jerusalem. This is composed of spiritual Israel, which along with Jesus makes up the true seed of Abraham. (Galatians 3:16, 29) Therefore, when the water of life flows in abundance through the middle of the broad way of the symbolic city, “all nations of the earth” will have full opportunity to bless themselves by means of Abraham’s seed. Jehovah’s promise to Abraham will be completely fulfilled.—Genesis 22:17, 18.

The Lamb’s Marriage Is at Hand!

11 “You woman enemy of mine”! That is how Jerusalem, the location of Jehovah’s temple of worship, addressed idolatrous Babylon. (Micah 7:8) Likewise, “the holy city, New Jerusalem,” made up of the bride of 144,000 members, has had every reason to address Babylon the Great as her enemy. (Revelation 21:2) But at last the great harlot has suffered adversity, calamity, and ruin. Her spiritistic practices and astrologers have been unable to save her. (Compare Isaiah 47:1, 11-13.) A major victory, indeed, for true worship!

12 With the disgusting harlot, Babylon the Great, gone forever, attention can now be focused on the virgin-pure bride of the Lamb! Hence, the heavenly throngs sing exultantly in praise of Jehovah: “Let us rejoice and be overjoyed, and let us give him the glory, because the marriage of the Lamb has arrived and his wife has prepared herself. Yes, it has been granted to her to be arrayed in bright, clean, fine linen, for the fine linen stands for the righteous acts of the holy ones.”—Revelation 19:7, 8.

13 Down through the centuries, Jesus has made loving preparation for this celestial marriage. (Matthew 28:20; 2 Corinthians 11:2) He has been cleansing the 144,000 of spiritual Israel so that “he might present the congregation to himself in its splendor, not having a spot or a wrinkle or any of such things, but that it should be holy and without blemish.” (Ephesians 5:25-27) With a view to attaining to “the prize of the upward call of God,” each anointed Christian has had to strip off the old personality with its practices, put on the new Christian personality, and perform righteous acts “whole-souled as to Jehovah.”—Philippians 3:8, 13, 14; Colossians 3:9, 10, 23.

14 From Pentecost 33 C.E. on, Satan used Babylon the Great as his tool in trying to contaminate the prospective members of the Lamb’s wife. By the end of the first century, he had sown seeds of Babylonish religion in the congregation. (1 Corinthians 15:12; 2 Timothy 2:18; Revelation 2:6, 14, 20) The apostle Paul describes those who were subverting the faith in these words: “For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself keeps transforming himself into an angel of light.” (2 Corinthians 11:13, 14) In succeeding centuries, apostate Christendom, like the rest of Babylon the Great, dressed herself in the clothing of wealth and privilege, “purple and scarlet, . . . gold and precious stone and pearls.” (Revelation 17:4) Her clergy and popes consorted with bloodthirsty emperors, such as Constantine and Charlemagne. She was never arrayed in “the righteous acts of the holy ones.” As a counterfeit bride, she was truly a masterpiece of satanic deception. At last, she is gone forever!

The Lamb’s Wife Has Prepared Herself

15 So now, after almost 2,000 years, all 144,000 of the bride class have made themselves ready. But at what point of time may it be said that ‘the Lamb’s wife has prepared herself’? Progressively, from Pentecost 33 C.E. on, believing anointed ones “were sealed with the promised holy spirit,” this in view of a coming “day of releasing by ransom.” As the apostle Paul expressed it, God “has also put his seal upon us and has given us the token of what is to come, that is, the spirit, in our hearts.” (Ephesians 1:13; 4:30; 2 Corinthians 1:22) Each anointed Christian is “called and chosen,” and he has proved himself “faithful.”—Revelation 17:14.

7/7

16 After decades of testing, Paul himself could declare: “I have fought the fine fight, I have run the course to the finish, I have observed the faith. From this time on there is reserved for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give me as a reward in that day, yet not only to me, but also to all those who have loved his manifestation.” (2 Timothy 4:7, 8) The apostle’s sealing appears to have been complete, even though he was still in the flesh and would yet face martyrdom. Similarly, the time must come when all remaining ones on earth of the 144,000 will have been sealed individually as belonging to Jehovah. (2 Timothy 2:19) This will be when the Lamb’s wife will have fully prepared herself—the great majority of the 144,000 having already received their heavenly reward and those still on earth having been finally approved and sealed as faithful ones.

17 At this point in Jehovah’s timetable, when the sealing of the 144,000 has reached completion, the angels release the four winds of the great tribulation. (Revelation 7:1-3) First, judgment is executed on harlotlike Babylon the Great. The victorious Christ next moves on quickly to Armageddon to destroy the rest of Satan’s organization on earth and, finally, to abyss Satan and his demons. (Revelation 19:11–20:3) If any anointed ones still survive on earth, they will doubtless enter into their heavenly reward soon after Christ completes his conquest and will join their fellow members of the bride class. Then, at God’s due time, the marriage of the Lamb can take place!

18 The prophetic account in Psalm 45 describes the order of events. First the enthroned King rides forth to the conquest of his enemies. (Verses 1-7) Then the marriage is performed, the heavenly bride being attended on earth by her virgin companions, the great crowd. (Verses 8-15) Next the marriage becomes fruitful, with resurrected mankind being raised to perfection under oversight of “princes in all the earth.” (Verses 16, 17) What glorious blessings accompany the marriage of the Lamb!

These things have opened very fully by even 1925, and continued to open up to a completeness even by 1940, that is pretty much the “big picture” Jehovah’s witnesses have had for a good 70 years of consistently growing “eternal truth”, a massive truth to say the least, for those realizing this among the “The virgins in her train” of Psalm 45:14-15 as potential “great crowd” of the “They will be brought with rejoicing and joyfulness; They will enter into the palace of the king” deliverance of Rev7:9-17, today’s Jehovah’s Christian witnesses.

Our truth is alive from God through Jesus Christ. (Rev1:1)
