    Most Bible commentators confirm that the "other sheep" that Jesus made reference to were the Gentile Christians that were added to the Jewish believers in the first century of the church. Jesus and the other Bible writers never hinted that there would be two classes of Christians: heavenly and earthly.

    Russell taught that the "great multitude" of Revelation were a secondary heavenly class. It was Rutherford that came up with the idea that the "great multitude" and the "other sheep" were an earthly class of Christians. This was an attempt to explain away why the organization was still having an increase when the general calling for the "annointed" was believed to have passed by. Like so many "revelations" of Rutherford, it was an effort to try to cover over the obvious errors of Russell.
