Dad died at 2.20 yesterday morning, I was with my mother at his bedside as he took his last breath.....my dad was such an absolute physical powerhouse throughout his life, at 83 he had everything taken from him but retained his dignity in the face of an impossible battle.
My dad was a Jehovah's witness from the age of 40, it was his firm belief that the bible describes a 1000 year restoration of earth to a paradise after the great tribulation and Armageddon this includes a resurection of all those in the grave. A small number 144,000 will be resurected to rule in heaven in god's kingdom the majority including my dads hope is the resurrection back onto earth as Jehovah says
