I can't see how heaven can come down on earth, there are physical limitations to consider.
It could be a period of 1000 years in heaven. Then after that humans could come down on earth to live. I think many need spiritual guidance directly from God.
I am certain that God can add more fuel to the sun.

Every Jehovah's witness should know this. I believe it is the current understanding of WTS that the great crowd is rendering sacred service on earth after the great tribulation.
Rev. 7: 15
And he said, "These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15 Therefore, "they are before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his temple; and he who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them.
Jon Mitchell a former secretary of the governing body discovered the correct interpretation of the verses. It's necesary to understand the meaning of the greek words naos and enopion. Temple is translated from naos and before is translated from enopion. Other scriptures in Revelation is using the same word naos about God's temple.
The Greek word naos refers often to the inner sanctuary representing heaven itself.
The Greek word enopion actually means; in the presence (sight) of.
I found these in Strongs Greek dictionary.
Now insert these accurate meanings in the vers 15. The subsequent question is: How can one be in the sight of Gods throne if they are standing on earth? They can not!
in the "journey home" series on ewtn, which jeff schwem was on a while back, jeff mentioned a bible change from one printing of the nwt to a later printing of it.
this interested me tremendously, since my j.w.
sister-in-law told me one day that "the nwt bible never changes".
I think it's very wrong that the Watchtower society's translation committee has changed the Bible so it conform to their own theology. They are denying the deity of Jesus Christ. In the Bible Jesus is telling clearly what will happened with them who does not believe the identity of Jesus. Read John 8: 24
under which name must christians be saved?
well according to wts it is jehovah.
this is written in joel 2: 32 (read nwt).
Undercover, You are right, I looked also in the King James version (sacrednamebible.com), the tetragrammaton is mentioned there in Joel 2: 32.
This contradiction actually supports that the hebraic God Jehovah are Jesus, which some people believe.
Ezra,
Thanks for your watchtower reply, as usually the GB puts alot of interpretation into a simple matter. Focus on the phrase in Acts 4: 12; It says; there is no salvation in anyone else, .... The conclusion: Jesus is the only Saviour.
under which name must christians be saved?
well according to wts it is jehovah.
this is written in joel 2: 32 (read nwt).
Under which name must Christians be saved? Well according to WTS it is Jehovah. This is written in Joel 2: 32 (read NWT). 32 And it must occur that everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will get away safe; for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will prove to be the escaped ones, just as Jehovah has said, and in among the survivors, whom Jehovah is calling.” But this contradicts Acts 4: 12, I posted also the previous verses so you can see the verse is talking about Jesus. Then Peter, filled with holy spirit, said to them:
“Rulers of the people and older men, 9 if we are this day being examined, on the basis of a good deed to an ailing man, as to by whom this man has been made well, 10 let it be known to all of YOU and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ the Naz·a·rene´, whom YOU impaled but whom God raised up from the dead, by this one does this man stand here sound in front of YOU . 11 This is ‘the stone that was treated by YOU builders as of no account that has become the head of the corner.’ 12 Furthermore, there is no salvation in anyone else, for there is not another name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must get saved.”
But if you read another Bible translation f.x New American Standard Bible, then the scripture from OT are consistent with Acts 4:12 in NT.
Off course when the WTS talks about Jehovah as the saviour, then they never mention Acts 4:12. The NT shows many times that Jesus is the saviour.
consider jesus words in: matthew 20:28-29 (new international version).
"28 just as the son of man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.".
who gave his life for us?
You are welcome, tetrapod

Gods plan happened after Adam and Eve's fall. Read Genesis 3: 1-15
The WTS says in a article from 2003, that it's is Jehovah we should thank, they are not mentioning Jesus.
You can tell others your gratitude towards Jesus.
consider jesus words in: matthew 20:28-29 (new international version).
"28 just as the son of man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.".

Consider Jesus words in: Matthew 20:28-29 (New International Version)
"28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
Who gave his life for us? Answer: Jesus Christ. It was Gods plan, but Jesus could have refused to do it. It was Jesus who wanted to free us from sin and death. Imagine also all the pain he had in the last days of his earthly life. Jesus personally died for us, It was not Yahweh who did this. This was the greatest display of love a man can show. John 15: 13 " Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends."
Then Christians should foremost thank Jesus Christ for the ransom sacrifice. I have never heard any Jehovahs witness render gratitude directly to Jesus.
i know to expect a jw to think on their own is asking way too much............but............... but just...just per chance, say that they actually did & asked for " indisputable proof " of god's direction of the fds, governin' body...... .
........... what would the wacktower or asleep mags say was the proof ?.

In 1918 when Jesus should inspect and select the "slave class" then at time the leading men at WT was serving spiritual food that was polluted (false doctrines). See WT 1960 July 15 pp.435-6. And they have done it several times since 1918.
