The Watchtower, “Part 1—Flashes of Light—Great and Small”
“In 1935 a bright flash of light revealed that the great crowd mentioned at Revelation 7:9-17 was not a secondary heavenly class. It had been thought that the ones mentioned in those verses were some of the anointed who had not been fully faithful and so were standing before the throne instead of sitting on thrones reigning as kings and priests with Jesus Christ.”
A two-part retrospective in which the organisation sets out its own record of changed teachings. This paragraph states the pre-1935 understanding of the great crowd and the 1935 change to an earthly hope.
