Apparently there are anointed members of God's earthy organization, or the Jehova's Christian Witness church. My understanding of this is that those select few appointed by holy spirit directed by he who is above will rule over the other sheep with the Jesus in heaven. Their biblical proof of this is supposedly in the Acts of the Apostles and the last book, the Revelation. 144,000, mentioned in God's word, is the sum of all those ruling with the lord himself, the Jesus. I'm particularly invested in Revelation's forth verse in chapter 7 which reads: 4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of all children of Israel. Then in the following verses it mentions sets of twelve thousand people from individual tribes.
This is where I get my question. Are the witnesses who claim to be anointed today, including the Governing body, apart of these tribes mentioned here in verse 4? I asked this question to a sister who I was studying with and her answer was that the Governing body and all the anointed are in fact the descendants of those sealed. But aren't those numbers mentioned through verses 5-8 in fact of those servants of God back then who were sealed in their foreheads, as verse 3 states? If the sister is right, then that would mean that Jehova knew way back then that the present day anointed would be apart of the ruling and that most of those twelve thousands had not been born yet.
