AFTER CATCHING SIGHT OF THE
"DISGUSTING THING"
"There was a time when one man had
power over another and could make him suffer. It was then that I saw wicked men
approaching and even entering the holy place; and they went about the
city priding themselves on having done right. This too is emptiness. It is
because sentence upon a wicked act is not promptly carried out that men do evil
so boldly."
(Eccles 8:9 The usurpers in JW congregations today that have entered the holy place are called the "disgusting thing… standing in a holy place". (Matt 24:15). Without spiritual knowledge according to an anointing from God, these usurpers of the authority of faithful anointed ones have fulfilled the scripture: "Then, if anyone says to you, 'Look! Here is the Christ,' or, 'There!' do not believe it. For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will give great signs and wonders so as to mislead, if possible, even the chosen ones." ("if such a thing were possible". NEB). (Matt 24:23,24).
TIME OF TROUBLES TO BE CUT SHORT
ON ACCOUNT OF GOD'S CHOSEN ONES.
DAYS LIKENED TO THE "DAYS OF NOAH". (Matt
24:37). But with reference to the Godless today it will be just as it was in Noah's days: "and they knew nothing until the flood* came and swept them all away. That is how it will be when the Son of Man comes." (Matt 24:39 NEB). There will be a flood, but it will not be of water. It will be an exterminating Spirit "flood* of righteousness" that will sweep away the Godless. (Isaiah 10:22,23. See NEB footnote). The "Little Scroll" contains warnings similar to those given by Noah to which people are again refusing to listen. And the door of the "ark" will not be opened until after the coming "flood of righteousness" is over. (Rev 11:19). The final outpouring of the wrath of God according to the revelation to John to be poured out "upon the air" should be causing great concern among the nations. (Rev 16:17). But the majority of mankind are doing nothing about their spirit condition before this last "bowl" is poured out. In order of fulfilment, the destruction of the wicked flooded away by the Spirit of the Lord's Judgement, and the Sovereign Rule of God over the earth, is imminent. That is when Jehovah will give recompense to His faithful servants. (Rev 11:15-19).
