  • Yes. Although the Bible does not specify men and women in the two scriptures [ Revelation 7;4 and 14;1] there are many, many women who devote their lives to preaching the Good News to people in the world. Millions of hours are spent doing this. And Almighty god Jehovah has noted this very early in the Bible [ Psalms 68;11] So logically, why should a loving God Not reward those very spiritual sisters. When the Bible mentions " the SONS of Israel" [ Rev. 7;4] it means ALL those who obey God. Did not God use Moses to FREE the WHOLE nation of Israel from slavery to Egypt. He certainly did not leave the women behind. The whole nation was classed as the " Sons of Israel".
  • Yes they do. In the days of the nation of Israel the privileges of women in connection with worship at Jehovah's temple were very limited. For example, no woman could serve as a Levite priest or take up duties in connection with temple service. No woman was to sit on the throne as ruler in Israel, the only woman to do so being the usurper Athaliah who died because of her presumptuousness. (Numbers 3:1-10; 2 Ki. 11:1-20) But, in connection with spiritual Israel, the apostle Paul wrote, addressing his remarks equally to the dedicated women as well as to the dedicated men: "You are all, in fact, sons of God through your faith in Christ Jesus. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor freeman, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one person in union with Christ Jesus. Moreover, if you belong to Christ, you are really Abraham's seed, heirs with reference to a promise". See Galatians 3:26, 28, 29 This meant that women could now share with men as glorious spirit creatures in the heavens with the wonderful hope of becoming joint heirs with Christ Jesus in the heavenly kingdom. Some women were now in line to become kings and priests and reign with Christ Jesus along with the rest of the 144,000 Kingdom associates.. See Rom. 8:16, 17; Rev. 20:6; 14:1
  • Then how come the Bible calls them Jewish men who have never been married?
