817. THE "TWO PARTS" TO BE CUT OFF. ""And it must occur in all the land," is the utterance of Jehovah, "that two parts in it are what will be cut off and expire; and as for the third part, it will be left remaining in it. And I shall certainly bring the third part through the fire; and I shall actually refine them as in the refining of silver, and examine them as in the examining of gold."" (Zech 13:8,9).
The JW book
'Paradise Restored to Mankind by Theocracy!'
(Pg. 359-365) teaches that the "third part", the "wheat"
class, has already been brought through a refining process by the Great
Refiner during the period 1919 Has Zechariah 13:1-9 and the book of Malachi describing those to be "cut off" already taken place? If so, why now, 46 years later (1977), are the "four winds" of Revelation 7:1-3 still being held back? Do the records show that in recent years 20,000 or more anointed persons have actually been disfellowshipped and expired as to their relationship with God? (For those described as "cut off" from association with the "wheat" class will be assigned their part with the hypocrites). (Matt 24:43-51).
The clergy of Christendom and their church
members have always been hypocrites. They certainly are not of the
"wheat" class of anointed sons of the Kingdom.
(Matt 13:36-43). The "evil slave", though
called to be
anointed ones, "beat" their fellow slaves before being assigned their
part with the hypocrites. Therefore, before they are "cut off"
such evil ones must still be actively warring at the "eleventh-hour"
of the "Lord's Day"
This JW book also claims that those
they* refer to, were anointed
with God's Spirit and were part of the Master's household, and that
they* had to endure the
figurative
'heat'
of
'fire'-like
preaching work, testing and examining them. But Pages 786
and 787 of the "Little Scroll" reveals the true
explanation of
Matthew 20:1-16. Moreover, according to their book, who are the ones
with
'power and authority'
who use it to abuse their fellow slaves? It certainly could not be the
"eleventh-hour" ones pushed to the outside of the "flock".
(Ezek 34:1
So they*
can only be members of the "evil slave" class that have
exercised satanic
'power and authority'
to abuse "eleventh-hour" slaves today. These evil ones are among
the "two parts" that will be "cut off" and assigned
their part with the hypocrites. (Matt 24:51). Though called
to be anointed ones, through their apostasy they were not chosen.
(Matt 22:14 RSV).
Faithful "eleventh-hour" anointed ones feed the "domestics"
of the "great crowd" their spiritual "food" at the proper time and
so are among those who will receive and benefit from their "wages" (Cont. on Page 820). 11/7/77. |
