876. "BUT IN THE DAYS OF THE SOUNDING* OF When The Christ's teachings have been revealed, many of which have already been made known to his approved anointed brothers (of spiritual "Israel") it will be said: "...blow upon these killed people, that they may come to life." (From Ezek 37:9-11). "And I saw, and, look! upon them sinews themselves and flesh itself came up and skin began to be overlaid upon them above. But as regards breath, there was none in them." (37:8). The power to accurately communicate Christ's spiritual teachings to hearing ears is to be given breath again by God, through those who previously were His "killed" people. Until now, the whole house of spiritual "Israel" has been in a condition likened to dead persons without a "voice". (Isaiah 29:4 NEB). They were spiritually "killed", but are about to come to life again. Why? Ezekiel 37:23 provides the answer: "And they will no longer defile themselves with their dungy idols and with their disgusting things and with all their transgressions; and I shall certainly save them from all their dwelling places in which they have sinned, and I will cleanse them, and they must become My people, and I Myself shall become their God." These "dwelling places" are a "death"-like spiritual state caused by acts of spirit lawlessness and apostasy in the spiritual "land" of "Israel". The "Little Scroll" contains denunciations of God against this apostasy and spirit of uncleanness. In verse 28 it says: "And the nations will have to know that I, Jehovah, am sanctifying Israel when My sanctuary comes to be in the midst of them to time indefinite." First, new spirit life for the purpose of cleansing the spiritual "land" of "Israel". Second, "that the nations may know Me when I sanctify Myself in you before their eyes, O Gog". Third, the removal from His "land" of those whom God symbolically calls "O Gog" ("dungy idols" and "disgusting things"). (Ezek 38:16. 39:11-13. See Page 824E). "FOR THE PURPOSE OF CLEANSING THE THE TIME IS
RIPE FOR "UNITY IN CHRIST" (Eph 1:10 NEB): All literature conflicting with the Holy Scriptures must be destroyed. A record of the names and addresses of sons of Zion must be kept. A copy of the "Little Scroll" must be issued to all sons of Zion before the nations receive copies, that the "hidden purpose of God" may be fulfilled. (Rev 10:7 NEB).
