Hi Wednesday,
How are you? I have been limiting my online time because it was getting in the way of living...lol. I suppose what you are asking refers to the jw teaching of the the earthly class and the 144,000. If you read in Rev.7 the "great crowd" is NOT said to be earthly. On the contrary, the bible says that they are before the throne and so are the angels in the next verses. Also in Rev. 19, it says that the great crowd is in HEAVEN. As far as the bride of Christ goes....nowhere does the bible teach that only the 144,000 are the bride. The whole 144,000 being literal while none of what it says about them being literal is jw garbage. It says they are male, virgins. It also says in verse I don't know for sure what is literal and what is symbolic but I am not going to believe the wt interpretation because they don't have much right in the rest of the bible imo. As far as REV goes.....the wt has a field day there because they can pick and choose symbolism vs literal and make up whatever meanings they want to and they do! If you look at Rev 7:3 the 144,000 are being sealed ON the EARTH while the great crowd is placed before the throne. Backwards to what we were taught... I do not pretend to understand all of that but I can see now when the wt just makes up what they want the bible to say instead of what it really does say. I hope that I answered your question. Take care.....I'm waiting for a hurricane to hit today...yipee
