Father written on their foreheads. . .
No one has gone to heaven prior to Christ
(John 3:13) . . .Moreover, no man has ascended into heaven but he that descended
from heaven, the Son of man.
Originally posted by whodeythere are around 7million j.w's on the planet, not even counting the dead ones, galveston and robbie have roughly a 1 in 50 chance of getting in. i think id give up if i were them as the true odds are gonna be double that.
Well there is Robbie, Galveston.....after that I got noth'in. I don't know who the rest of the 143,998 are.

(Revelation 7:9-10) . . .After these things I saw, and, look! a great crowd, which no
man was able to number, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues,
standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes; and there
were palm branches in their hands. And they keep on crying with a loud voice, saying:
“Salvation [we owe] to our God, who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb.”
