Hebrews 10:12,13
"But this man offered one sacrifice for sins for all time and sat down at the right hand of God, from then on waiting until his enemies should be placed as a stool for his feet."
After Jesus was resurrected, he went to heaven. He was not enthroned right away.
He was not enthroned in 1914.
When he is enthroned, he will cast the Devil down, as is described in Revelation 12:7-12:
"And war broke out in heaven: Miʹcha·el and his angels battled with the dragon, and the dragon and its angels battled but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them any longer in heaven. So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth; he was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him. I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have come to pass the salvation and the power and the Kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ, because the accuser of our brothers has been hurled down, who accuses them day and night before our God! And they conquered him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their witnessing, and they did not love their souls even in the face of death. On this account be glad, you heavens and you who reside in them! Woe for the earth and for the sea, because the Devil has come down to you, having great anger, knowing that he has a short period of time.”
It's not until after the Devil is cast out of heaven that Jesus takes "home" those who are "born again".
Revelation describes that action of the resurrected 144,000 going to heaven as "the marriage of the Lamb".
A man doesn't take his "bride" home to a house full of enemies. Jesus doesn't take any of the new creation home until after the Devil is cast out of heaven. The Devil isn't cast out of heaven until after Jesus is enthroned.
Paul's writings in Thessalonians show that the "bride" goes all together. Those of the 144,000 who fell asleep in death are still sleeping. They didn't go to heaven in the first century, because Paul and John said there were false teachers who taught the resurrection already occurred but those teachers were lying. The GB today is also lying - the anointed ones who died have not been resurrected to heaven, they are still dead.
They will be resurrected during the 3 1/2 years of the great tribulation, and people on earth will see them, just like they saw Jesus when he was resurrected and before he ascended to heaven.
1 Corinthians 15:4-6, 22,23, 49-54
"he was raised up on the third day according to the Scriptures; and that he appeared to Ceʹphas, and then to the Twelve. After that he appeared to more than 500 brothers at one time, most of whom are still with us, though some have fallen asleep in death..."
The anointed/born-again ones who fell asleep in death back in the first century were not immediately raised up. They stayed asleep in death.
"For just as in Adam all are dying, so also in the Christ all will be made alive. But each one in his own proper order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who belong to the Christ during his presence."
The "presence" referred to means after Jesus takes the throne in heaven at the beginning of the great tribulation. The "presence" of Christ in Kingdom power will be during the 3 1/2 years of the great tribulation.
"And just as we have borne the image of the one made of dust, we will bear also the image of the heavenly one. But I tell you this, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit God’s Kingdom, nor does corruption inherit incorruption. Look! I tell you a sacred secret: We will not all fall asleep in death, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the blink of an eye, during the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised up incorruptible, and we will be changed. For this which is corruptible must put on incorruption, and this which is mortal must put on immortality. But when this which is corruptible puts on incorruption and this which is mortal puts on immortality, then the saying that is written will take place: “Death is swallowed up forever.”"
It is during the latter part of the 3 1/2 years of the tribulation that the anointed who are asleep will be raised up and those still alive will be changed and all together they will join the Lord in the "marriage of the Lamb" for the final battle of Armageddon.
1 Thessalonians 4:15-17
"For this is what we tell you by Jehovah’s word, that we the living who survive to the presence of the Lord will in no way precede those who have fallen asleep in death; because the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a commanding call, with an archangel’s voice and with God’s trumpet, and those who are dead in union with Christ will rise first. Afterward we the living who are surviving will, together with them, be caught away in clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and thus we will always be with the Lord."
The GB and other clergy of Christendom have been teaching for a long time that "when you're dead, you're not dead," but they are part of the apostasy foretold.
2 Thessalonians 2:1-3
"However, brothers, concerning the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you not to be quickly shaken from your reason nor to be alarmed either by an inspired statement or by a spoken message or by a letter appearing to be from us, to the effect that the day of Jehovah is here. Let no one lead you astray in any way, because it will not come unless the apostasy comes first and the man of lawlessness gets revealed, the son of destruction."
The "man of lawlessness", the religious institutions and the leaders associated with them, will be destroyed and removed from power at the beginning of "the Day of Jehovah" and "the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ", a 3 1/2 years when there will be great tribulation. The "gathering together" of the 144,000 takes place after all the religious institutions are destroyed. Jesus also spoke of this in the gospels and in Revelation.
Everybody will see them when they are resurrected (that's part of why people on earth who doubted God at that point will be afraid), but until that time comes, Paul, John, Mary, Peter, Stephen...all those first century anointed ones and all the ones who have died since, they are still asleep in death and they can't do anything right now because, just as is written in Ecclesiastes 9:5..."the dead know nothing at all."
