"THEREFORE BY THIS MEANS THE ERROR OF
 JACOB WILL BE ATONED FOR".   (Isaiah 27:9).

HOW "THE ERROR OF JACOB" IS ATONED FOR.
Jehovah has promised to slay the "Leviathan" satan in the "sea" of mankind. (27:1 Moffatt). But not in the manner that satan had anointed sons of "Jacob" spiritually "killed". (27:7.  Rev 11:7,8). The "scare cry" from Zion is a warning of an imminent "blast" from Almighty God. It is a signal to faithful anointed sons of "Jacob" that He will fulfil this prophecy of His Holy Word. (27:8). The "fortified city" are apostate congregations of "briars" and "thorns" that Jehovah will wage war upon and "burn" up.  (27:4 & 8  10 NEB).  On July 21st 1985, when one man was killed and seventy injured in a blast at a JW congregation in Sydney Australia, such apostate gatherings of the "disgusting thing" of JWs were served notice by this "scare cry" from Zion.  (Matt 24:15).

(See newspaper article from The Guardian dated 22/7/85 on Page 25/4/86B).

This "scare cry" also served notice that Jehovah will no longer receive spirit "sacrifices" upon His spiritual "altar" from those guilty of apostasy. The "error of Jacob" will be atoned for when all apostates have been removed from His spiritual "land" as it is written: "Yet only when they grind to dust their pagan altar-stones, and never raise again their sacred poles and pillars, shall Israel have their guilt forgiven     for so their penitence (atonement) must work." (27:9 Moffatt). When apostates have been removed and their "fortified city" "abandoned like a wilderness" (27:10), Jehovah will gather those of His beloved people "lost in Assyria" and "dispersed in Egypt" to worship Him in Jerusalem. (27:12,13 NEB). When the "error of Jacob" has been atoned for, "all  the  fruit" of His spiritual "altar" class has been gathered.  (27:9.  1 Cor 3:16,17).

"No mercy" was clearly evident at the apostate gathering of JWs in Australia, when one of the "stones" officiating at their "altar" was pulverized by Jehovah. (27:11). This "blast" signalled that no baalist worship will be "left standing", nor will baalists "rise up" to inherit everlasting life. (27:9 NWT & NEB). This abandonment by God, through the censure of those who spiritually "killed" anointed sons of "Jacob", is the means by which the "error of Jacob" will be atoned for     first by the "scare cry" from Zion, then the removal of apostates by His "blast". Those guilty of apostasy in the "land" do not heed God and so win no mercy from their Maker.  (27:11 Moffatt).

Note:

The blast in Australia served notice to all JW congregations.
How many more warnings will they fail to heed?
