"You Will Be With Me in Paradise" - WHAT ROLE WILL THE ANOINTED PLAY?

 The task assigned to Jesus and his co-rulers is far greater than the task given to Solomon.  That Israelite king had to care for millions of people in just one land. However, those ruling in God's Kingdom will  help to care for billions of people living across the globe. What an awe-inspiring privilege Jehovah grant to the 144,000!

Like Jesus, the 144,000 will serve as kings and priests.  (Revelation 5:10) Under the Mosaic Law, the priests were primarily responsible for protecting the people's  physical health while making sure that they were spiritually healthy.  The Law was "a shadow of the good things to come," so it is reasonable to conclude that Jesus' co-rulers will assist in the unique role of caring for the physical and spiritual needs of God's people. (Hebrews 10:1) We will have to wait and see just how these kings and priests will communicate with subjects of the Kingdom who are on earth.  Whatever Jehovah arranges, we can be confident that in the Paradise to come, those on earth will receive the guidance they need. - REVELATION 21:3, 4.
