Clearly his rulership is over the earth, and it lasts a thousand years, so put two and two together: human civilization restored in a righteous kingdom.
Then if we follow the scripture, he reigns over the earth with 144,000 for a 1000 years before Armageddon.
But according to WT doctrine, since the 144,000 are not all up there with him at any one given time until some unspecified time AFTER Armageddon when the 1000 years has already begun, and since by far most of them have already been up there with him since 1918 (which would make some of them reign less than 1000 years and some of them considerably more--1918 to Armageddon), where is the scripture support? You're right--WTS conclusions are a lot like some piecing together of "missing links" ... :)
