(Cont. from Page 1/5/95A).
 

On page 34 of the JW book 'Proclaimers of God's Kingdom' they speculate that 'some in Thessalonica were wrongly predicting that "the presence" of the Lord Jesus was imminent' as if to excuse Russell and his admirers today for their false predictions of the Lord's presence, "alleging that the Day of the Lord is already here"!  (2 Thess 2:1,2 NEB).

The mystery to be revealed concerning "certain men" who have "slipped in" was satan's plan to harass anointed sons of God into submission in Christ's congregations using satanists in human form. (2 Thess 2:3 NEB)  (Jude V.4).  From December 1st 1971 satan arranged the appointment of unsealed men as 'overseers', 'elders' and 'ministerial servants' among JWs; men who do not originate with God. (1 John 3:9,10). The conviction of these enemies of God grew to such an extent that they actually warred against the Holy Spirit of God bestowed upon  His  anointed sons, and proclaimed the complete 'shifting of responsibilities' from them in congregations.  (See Pages 849 & 850 of the "Little Scroll").

In what became JW congregations of the "disgusting thing" of unsealed 'elders', faithful  anointed ones were never allowed their responsibilities at all. But what this "man of lawlessness" had actually removed from the "other sheep, which are not of this fold" was not merely faithful men, but the "constant feature" Holy Spirit. For it is the Holy  Spirit of God that teaches and directs anointed ones, and is what they are anointed with.  (1 John 2:26,27)  (Dan 11:31.  John 10:16).

When these faithful anointed ones were removed, those who removed them also removed their own hope of heavenly spirit life in the realm of God!  These events are the means our Lord chose to refine out those whose "goat"-like spirits "trampled" on the "least ones" of Jesus' brothers whenever they spoke as the Holy Spirit directed.  (Matt 25:41  46.  Rev 11:1-3).

TWO MAIN POINTS TO BEAR IN MIND:
(1)

That before the coming of our Lord, the apostasy of the "final rebellion" described in 2 Thessalonians 2:1  12 (NEB) first had to come     not the mystery of its early manifestation in the apostle Paul's time, but its fulfilment in JW congregations in the "time of the end".

(2)

The "time of the end" is when the "man of lawlessness" is revealed by our Lord through letters such as this one sent to accountable congregations.  (2 Thess 2:3).

But how and when will it become apparent among those found guilty?  When the Spirit of the seventh "bowl" of the anger of God is poured out "upon the air"     upon the ruler of the authority of this "darkness".  (Rev 16:17).  It will remove all unclean spirits of this "darkness" attached to men and women according to their own rebellious will. It will abyss all who have subjected themselves to satan "the ruler of the authority of the air, the spirit that now operates in the sons of disobedience". (Eph 2:2 & 6:12).  Every sin committed against faithful anointed sons of God and the "constant feature" bestowed upon them will be laid bare, leaving the great majority of mankind without inspiration to continue living. The overflowing flood of the Spirit of the Lord's Judgement will cause a wasting disease within "sons of disobedience" resulting in their destruction ("wasting  with  sickness, yet overflowing with righteousness".  Isaiah 10:22,23 NEB & footnote).  In other words, Godless ones will be exterminated by the righteous Rule of God!

Those falsely calling themselves Jehovah's Witnesses are not a people built on the foundation of The Christ, but on such men of "straw" as Russell, Rutherford, Macmillan and Co; worshipping the creation rather then The Creator, Almighty God. JWs brush aside their past erroneous predictions published worldwide as if they never existed     predictions which they choose to call 'disappointments'We have tested their spirits.  They do not originate with God.  Do you?
