WHY "THE FORTIFIED CITY IS LEFT SOLITARY".
"The fortified city is
left solitary, and His quarrel with her ends in brushing her away
[dismissing her], removing her by a cruel blast when the east
wind*
blows; it is a homestead stripped bare, deserted like a wilderness;
there the calf grazes and there lies down, and
crops every twig. Its boughs snap off when they
grow dry, and women come and light their fires
with them. For they are a people without sense…
For the nation heed not God
The "fortified city" are unfaithful covenant-leavers and apostate JW congregations of the "disgusting thing" of unsealed 'elders' throughout the world "standing in a holy place". (Matt 24:15). Jehovah has said He will wage war upon these "briars" and "thorns" and "burn" them up. (27:4 NEB). When one man was killed and seventy injured in a blast at a JW congregation in Sydney Australia on July 21st 1985, apostate gatherings of the "disgusting thing" were served due notice by this "scare cry" from heavenly Mount Zion. (27:8). For it will be by a cruel Spirit "blast" from Jehovah Himself that will cause these apostate congregations to become like a "homestead stripped bare, deserted like a wilderness". (See Page 25/4/86B). The "boughs" are false prophecies and apostate teachings of unfaithful covenant-leavers that "grow dry" because they fail to come to fruition and are only fit for "burning". Because the JW sect as a "nation" does not heed God, and rejects the truth of His Holy Word revealed through faithful Spirit anointed sons of God, female members of this sect do not have spiritual discernment, and so fail to appreciate the fearful consequences of false prophecies and apostate teachings of the "disgusting thing" that fail to come to fruition. Their not being fulfilled proves that this sect is not inspired of God, and signals their abandoned spirit condition before Him! To further prove they are "a people without sense", not only are JW women aware of the "dry" "boughs" of unfulfilled prophecies and false teachings published by JWs in books and magazines that are fit only to "light their fires with", they still permit their offspring ("calves") to spiritually "feed" on these "twigs" of apostate teachings! (27:11 NEB).
""Now I will rise up," says
Jehovah, "now I will exalt Myself; now I will lift Myself up. You people
conceive dried grass; you will give birth to stubble. Your own spirit, as a
fire, will eat you up
("a
wind*
like fire shall devour you". NEB).
And peoples must become as the burnings of lime. As thorns cut
away, they will be set ablaze even with fire. Hear, you men who are
far away, what I must do! And know, you who are nearby, My mightiness. In Zion
the sinners have come to be in dread; shivering has grabbed
hold of the apostates: 'Who of us can reside for any time
with a devouring fire? Who of us can reside for any time with long
Only when the "fortified
city" of unfaithful covenant-leavers and apostate JW congregations of
the "disgusting thing" of unsealed
'elders'
throughout the world is left solitary and "deserted like a wilderness",
will Jehovah gather those "lost in Assyria" and "dispersed
in Egypt" that belong to His spiritual "land" of "Jacob",
to worship Him in spiritual "Jerusalem". (27:6
