"I" AND THE "CHILDREN" ARE "Look! I and the children whom Jehovah has given me are as signs and as miracles in Israel from Jehovah of armies, who is residing in Mount Zion." (Isaiah 8:18).
"I" AND THE "CHILDREN" GIVEN TO ME. As prophesied events unfold during the remains of this materialistic "Esau" age, the "army of the heavens" must "rot away" and the heavens "rolled up, just like a book scroll". (Isaiah 34:4). This is in fulfilment of Revelation 21:1 (NEB), which reads: "Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had vanished". As the events to which the miracles of these visions point are realized on earth, scriptural prophecies of God are fulfilled and they "do not fail to have each one her mate". Revelation 21:1 is the scriptural "mate" of Isaiah 34:4. "Search for yourselves in the book of Jehovah and read out loud: not one has been missing of them; they actually do not fail to have each one her mate, for it is the mouth of Jehovah that has given the command, and it is His Spirit that has collected them together." (Isaiah 34:16).
Faithful anointed sons of God have
been receiving Divine warning of coming events while residing in a spiritual
"wilderness". It is a "wilderness" condition as
respects lack of communion with their faithful anointed brothers
The "wilderness"
condition described in Revelation and Isaiah served as a place of seclusion and
safety, where our Lord God exposed the apostate teachings and spirit of
uncleanness that had permeated Christ's congregations. (Dan 8:9-12.
Zech 13:2). When the spiritual refining work in the spiritual "land" of God has
been completed and His prophecies fulfilled, those who were ostracized into this
"wilderness" condition will exult and be joyful with glad crying
out: "There will be those who will see the glory of Jehovah, the splendour
of our God... At that time the eyes of the blind ones will be opened, and the
very ears of the deaf ones will be unstopped… And there will certainly come to
be a highway there, even a way; and the Way of Holiness it will be called. The
unclean one will not pass over it. And it will be for the one walking on the
way". (Please read Isaiah 35:1
