[QUOTE="Houseman, post: 3802, member: 7"] Unofficially for my whole life. I say "officially", because I was baptized 10 years ago. Before that I would still go to the meetings and out preaching. We are all equal, in that we are all brothers and sisters. Those who are "anointed" are treated no differently, and given no special privileges. 144,000 seems to be an arbitrary number chosen by god, 12,000 from each of the symbolic "tribes of Israel" as found in Revelation 7:4-8. The number 12 represents completeness, balance, and divine arrangement. Jacob had 12 sons, which became the 12 tribes of Israel. And it means exactly what it sounds like, they will be ruling as kings alongside Jesus. What they rule over will be the rest of humanity. I assume that there will still be matters that need to be handled and tasks that need to be done, for humanity will still exist, and will need to be ruled, and the kings will make sure that whatever needs to happen will happen. God is good at delegating like that. [/QUOTE]
