What do Jehovah’s Witnesses believe?

Jehovah’s Witnesses affirm that God—Jehovah—is the most high and that Jesus Christ is God’s agent, through whom sinful humans can be reconciled to God. They regard the Holy Spirit as God’s active force rather than a person of the Trinity. Witnesses believe they are living in the last days and look forward to God’s kingdom on Earth, headed by Christ and jointly administered by 144,000 human corulers. Those who reject Jehovah face total extinction rather than hell.
