THE MIRACLE OF THEIR LIE.
(2 Thessalonians 2:9
NEB).
THEIR GRAND DESIGN.
Over many years,
satan cultivated and used a secret congregation in human form worldwide,
in readiness for his final onslaught during the 2,300 evenings and mornings of
the "appointed times" at the end of this "Esau" age.
(2 Thess 2:3 NEB.
Dan 8:13,14 &
12:7). These "appointed times" ended on January 19th 1979. The expressed purpose of satan's congregation on earth has been to stop the spirit
creation of The Christ's congregation of anointed brothers on earth (sons of the
heavenly Kingdom). During this period of their warring, they sanctioned intense
persecution of anointed sons of God. A tacit worldwide search-and-destroy policy
was implemented and intensified, along with the appointment of unsealed men as
'elders'
in congregations of anointed ones in contravention of the restraint of the
Spirit Law of God. Their systematic house to house searches were stepped up,
flaunting Bibles to project a seemingly righteous appearance. Lamentably for
them, God permitted them to fall under a delusion of satanic deception so that
they actually believed the "powerful signs" and apostate
"miracles of the Lie" that sinfulness imposes on those doomed to
destruction. And what name did this sect adopt for their secret congregation:
'Jehovah's Witnesses'! (2 Thess 2:7-10 NEB.
Dan 7:25). (See Subject Index under "Man of Lawlessness"
and "Disgusting Thing" for details
of their "lying signs and portents" and changes to the
"times and Law" of God).
But something grievous happened to
them while they were searching from house to house to destroy potential servants
of God. It was that after having been spiritually enlightened, they twisted the
meanings of the Word of God in their attempts to fulfil the "lying signs
and portents" of unfaithful covenant-leavers among them. (2 Thess 2:9). These covenant-leavers had received Holy Spirit and shared in the
spiritual energies of the age to come, but had corrupted themselves and
apostatized. Both they and their followers made it impossible for them to be
brought within an acceptable state of repentance before God, for they sinned
against the Holy Spirit of God! (See Heb 6:4-6 and Matt 12:31,32).
With selfish pride and
determination, unsealed
'elders'
zealously safeguarded their newfound authority in JW congregations, with
alternate displays of mock humility and falsely called unscriptural
"knowledge". (1 Tim 6:20,21). They also engaged in diatribes against
false gods of other sects to raise themselves above every god, so-called, even
taking a seat among anointed ones in the temple of God! (2 Thess 2:4).
Through this "disgusting thing" of satan standing in authority in
a holy place, satan claims to be a god himself. (Matt 24:15,16) (Dan
11:30-32).
THEIR AWAKENING.
The status of apostates
before God is described as an "eternal abhorrence". (Dan 12:2
NEB)
About this, the Spirit of The Christ's mouth is still being expressed through
his anointed brothers on earth. The "tribulation ten days" (years)
suffered by Christ's anointed brothers was brought about by satan through his
composite "man of lawlessness". (Rev 2:10. 2 Thess 2:3).
The offspring of apostate "Ahab" and "Jezebel"
dispositions will undergo a "deadly plague" to everlasting
destruction. (Rev 2:20-23). They will be "wasting with sickness, yet overflowing with righteousness" for the opportunity
to repent of their deeds has expired. (Isaiah 10:22 NEB footnote). They are
false "prophets" and "prophetesses". (Ezek 13:8,9).
Instead of the "green grass" of spiritual "food",
they will suffer spirit "famine" and become an "object of astonishment".
(See 1 Kings 18:5 &
Page 666N).
For dejecting the hearts of righteous anointed sons of God with falsehood and
ostracizing them, members of the "man of lawlessness" will be
awakened by the Spirit authority of The Christ Michael to their ultimate destiny:
Eternal abhorrence.
(2 Thess 2:8
NEB.
Isaiah 66:5. Ezek 13:22).
To sum up: The
"tribulation ten days" (years) suffered by Christ's anointed brothers
was brought about by the composite "man of lawlessness" of the
sect falsely calling themselves Jehovah's Witnesses. This sect has desolated its
own members by standing "where it ought not", and did not heed the
warning when we gave it to flee from them. (Mark 13:14). They are therefore
destined to suffer "the reproach of eternal abhorrence."
(Dan 12:2 NEB).
