(14:15) These "domestic
animals" are symbolic for the means by which apostate communications for
the sect falsely calling themselves Jehovah's Witnesses are conveyed. Those
attempting to deliver such apostate literature to spiritistic JW book studies
and meetings will also suffer the scourge of God.
(14:16,17) Everyone
left remaining of those that came against "Jerusalem" must be
spiritually cleansed at the "festival of the booths" through
the adoption of scriptural countermeasures against their sins. Those who
refuse to be cleansed in spirit will not receive refreshment in their spirit
("pouring rain").
(14:18,19) If
a "family" of Egypt or any other nation refuses to attend the
"festival of the booths" they will be punished for their sins with
the scourge described in
Zechariah 14:12. These gatherings are for those that have warred
against the spiritual development of members of heavenly "Jerusalem"
and therefore against God. As for those falsely claiming to be spiritual
"Jews", they will suffer this scourge until death. (Rev 3:9).
(14:20,21) "Holiness
belongs to Jehovah!" and not to those in attendance at these gatherings.
This is symbolized by the fact that the "bowls before the altar"
of God are to contain scriptural countermeasures against their sins. The "bowls"
are placed "before" and not upon the "altar" of God.
One's spirit sacrifices ("gifts") may be placed on the
"altar"
after one's spirit has been sanctified through The Christ.
Concerning those that are cursing Jehovah it is
written: ""Will earthling man rob God? But you are robbing Me." And you
have said: "In what way have we robbed You?" "In the tenth parts and in the
contributions."" These spiritual understandings are the "tenth
parts" to which unchosen*
ones have denied publication. To these men acting as priests that have denied
access to Spirit contributions from anointed sons of God and corrupted the Word
of God for the people, the following words are addressed: "With the curse
you are cursing Me, and Me you are robbing the
nation in its entirety." (Mal 3:8,9).
These spiritual understandings concerning the
"restoration" have not been taught at any JW convention.
After the legal case for God has
been conducted, the scourge of His Judgement will begin.
"'And they will certainly
make spoil of those who had been making spoil of them, and plunder those who had
been plundering them,' is the utterance of the Lord Jehovah."
(From Ezek 39:10).
A "BURIAL PLACE" IN "ISRAEL": ITS PURPOSE.
"And those of the house of
Israel will have to bury them for the purpose of
cleansing the land, for seven months." (Ezek
39:12).
THE UNDERSTANDING:
What
members of the house of spiritual "Israel" are to "bury"
are unclean apostate teachings occupying the spiritual "land" of
God. The time given for this work is seven months.
(Zech 13:2). (Cont. on Page
824E).
