Among those who know
that they, and they alone, are the 144,000 mentioned in this passage are
|
|
• Jehovah’s Witnesses
(whose founder, Russell, “confided” to people that he was one of the great
witnesses)
|
|
• Herbert Armstrong
and Garner Ted Armstrong’s movement
|
|
• Mormons know that
these are the Mormon “elders”
|
|
• Seventh Day
Adventists are sure it’s them
|
|
• We even have some
“British Israelites” -- convinced that they are members of the “Ten Lost
Tribes”
|
|
One key point for
all these people comes when the membership in the sect exceeds 144,000 by a
large number. We then go from “all of
us” to the “elders.” Sound doctrine is
the best antidote.
