To those who are trembling at His Word, who
observe His commandments, Jehovah says: "Your brothers that are hating
you, that are excluding you by reason of My Name, said, 'May Jehovah be
glorified!' He must also appear with rejoicing on your part, and they are the
ones that will be put to shame." (Isaiah 66:5). Members of Christendom
are not related to Jehovah's people in the faith. (Gal 6:10).
"Your brothers that are hating you" are those who have been
baptized and claim to have dedicated their lives to carry out the Will of God,
but who then accept the apostate
"veil" of
"prophetesses" and prove unfaithful to His commandments. They hate
true Christians that are faithful and try to coerce them into accepting
apostate activities by showing coldness to them, keeping conversations with them
as brief as possible, ostracizing them at congregation meetings, and finally,
prejudging and scourging them until they are horned and shoved outside.
(Ezek 34:20,21
& 15,16). |

In their relief and success in horning and
shoving Jehovah's
"lean sheep" to the outside of the flock, these so-called
'brothers' rejoice, because the presence of Jehovah's
"sheep"-like ones was an increasing embarrassment to their
shameful conduct. (Acts 20:29,30). |

do not scourge.

Slaves of them. ► |
"For this reason,
here I am sending forth to you prophets and wise men and public instructors.
Some of them you will kill and impale, and some of them you will scourge
in your synagogues and persecute from city to city".
(Matt 23:34). But what warning did Jesus give to his slaves, concerning these
so called 'brothers'?
"While they are promising them freedom, they themselves are existing as
slaves of corruption. For whoever is overcome by another is enslaved by
this one. Certainly if, after having escaped from the defilements
of the world by an accurate knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ,
they get involved again with these very things and are overcome, the
final conditions have become worse for them than the first. For it would have
been better for them not to have accurately known the path of righteousness than
after knowing it accurately to turn away from the holy commandment delivered to
them. The saying of the true proverb has happened to them: "The dog has
returned to its own vomit, and the sow that was bathed to rolling in the mire.""
(2 Peter 2:19-22). |
