    Does anyone know of a WT or WT Book, that states Abraham will be tested again and then Judged based on his deeds during the Millenium?

    Essentiallly claiming that, after God testing Abraham, With the sacrifice of Isaac, he will tell him that he has to pass the same test that the Resurrcted Unrighteous have to pass.

    I know that this is a teaching that is required by holding to the 2 class belief, but I haven't found any Artocles on it.. Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Abraham, Moses, David etc. were considered to be part of the 'ancient worthies' and have some special leadership role.

    Abraham Martin and John are not part of the WT great crowd, because they are resurrected ones, but all earthly are not worthy, will take them a millenium to become pefecectly rightious, which the partakers have already.

    great crowd is only the passers-throughs of the ever receding Great trib- armageddon idea.

    it is a long way to---

    I wonder how they explain Matt 8:11?

    I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.

    Obviously you do not recall that Abraham, David, and Moses, those 'ancient worthies', were resurrected back in 1925 an stayed with the 'original' fds/gb member, Rutherford down in San Diego. Isn't that why the the mini mansion was built in San Diego?

    Come on guys. You need to keep up with that fast moving chariot!

    just saying!

    eyeuse2badub: lmao! I told my very dub husband about the mansion and he looked disturbed. He said "I didnt know about that." and then changed the subject. It really does make the dubs sounds like looney toons.

    *** Rev. Climax (1988, 2006) chap. 40 p. 290 par. 15 Crushing the Serpent’s Head ***

    Similarly, pre-Christian witnesses of Jehovah were declared righteous as to friendship with God; and Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were spoken of as “living” even though they were physically dead. (Matthew 22:31, 32; James 2:21, 23) However, they and all others who are resurrected, as well as the great crowd of faithful other sheep who survive Armageddon and any children that may be born to these in the new world, must yet be raised to human perfection. This will be accomplished by Christ and his associate kings and priests during the thousand-year Judgment Day, on the basis of Jesus’ ransom sacrifice. By the end of that Day, “the rest of the dead” will have “come to life” in the sense that they will be perfect humans. As we shall see, they must then pass a final test, but they will face that test as perfected humans. When they pass the test, God will declare them worthy of living forever, righteous in the fullest sense. They will experience the complete fulfillment of the promise: “The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it.” (Psalm 37:29) What a delightful future is in store for obedient mankind!
