What do you think is heaven for.................................................?
Is heaven for a small minority or for the majority?
Revelation 14:1,3- "And I saw, and, look! the Lamb standing upon the Mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand having his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads.
3 And they are singing as if a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders; and no one was able to master that song but the hundred and forty-four thousand, who have been bought from the earth."
Revelation 5:10- "And you made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God, and they are to rule as kings over the earth.”
So if God has already selected the amount to go to heaven and outlined what they will do there, what will the majority who believe they are going to heaven do there? Do you really think you can over step God's plans?

Heaven is the abode of spiritual beings. And human will live only in the restore paradise earth to time indefinite.
Only 144,000 from earth will go to heaven together with Christ, Jesus and will reign for a thousand years as King and Priests. The purpose of that Kingdom is to restore the lost purpose of GOD JHVH in human on earth.
And people will know that JHVH is the only true GOD in the Universe.

Heaven is for those who want and choose a relationship with Christ.
It's for anyone who wants to be with God.
If someone rather try on their own strength or want nothing to do with Jesus then that is their choice.
God is a gentleman He won't force Himself on anyone. Hell isn't the place where 'bad people' go because we all have the potential to be/are 'bad people'. Heaven being a perfect place requires perfection to get in, our bad things and flaws would mess up heaven's perfection. That's why Jesus had to come and pay the price of our imperfections. Not that from then on we would be perfect but that when we stand before God He will see Jesus and His perfection instead of our sins.
Jesus paid the price of our sins. Heaven is for all who have the relationship with Jesus. Hell isn't for bad people. Instead it is the complete absence of God. God isn't controlling your mind. He gives you a free choice. You want eternity with Jesus and perfection? You get Heaven. You want to do your own thing and see what life is like without Christ? Welcome to Hell.
It's your choice.

According to Zechariah 13:8-9 and Revelation 13:18, two-thirds (or .666) of humanity will choose to perish, while one-third of us will make it to heaven.

Heaven serves to provide incentive to the people on Earth to be good. It was created by humanity in an attempt to better the quality of society.

We all stay on earth and the 140,000 get to reign over us - and the 140,000 are all Jehovah's Witnesses - right?

Yeah, I think about it like that from time to time, but reality tends to remind me that its a slim possibility that it exist or not.
