BEFORE THE EXTERMINATION COMMENCES "FOR ALL THE LAND",
TO
THOSE "CLAMOURING IN THEIR CUPS" OF THEIR OWN "WINE", 
TO  FALSE  PROPHETS  AND  FALSE  PRIESTS    (ISAIAH 28:7,8 NEB)
 :

A WARNING.

THIS PHYSICAL EVENT OF THE PAST IS BECOMING A SPIRITUAL REALITY:
"For Jehovah will rise up just as at Mount Perazim, He will be agitated just as in the low plain near Gibeon, that He may do His deed     His deed is strange     and that He may work His work     His work is unusual. And now do not show yourselves scoffers, in order that your bands may not grow strong, for there is an  extermination, even something decided upon, that I have heard of from the Sovereign Lord, Jehovah of armies, for all the land."  (Isaiah 28:21,22).

"WHOM WILL ONE INSTRUCT IN KNOWLEDGE"?  (28:9).
Over recent years, faithful anointed sons of God on earth became the "trampling place" of God and as a "reason for quaking" in order to make others understand.  (28:18,19).  But  the "bands" (congregations) of the sect falsely calling themselves Jehovah's Witnesses have grown strong, and scoff at such tidings in the spiritual "land" of  God. They refuse to hear "what has been heard" through anointed sons from God, even though it has been sent to them "here a little, there a little" repeatedly as though from a "stammering" tongue. (28:10,11). Refusing to listen, they have instead prematurely swallowed down the "early fig" before its season, presumptuously and erroneously teaching the fulfilment of prophecies of the Word of God before knowledge and fulfilment of them were due to be revealed.  (28:4).

Consequently, they have become intoxicated with their own apostate teachings and lost their way. Prophecies that are being fulfilled, and the associated spiritual teaching of them, have been cut off from them because of their arrogant overestimation of themselves. (28:14). Periodically by Holy Spirit "measuring lines" for the correction of these "early fig" teachings were put up by faithful anointed sons of God to keep His spiritual instructions and their correct meanings intact, along with the appointed times of His prophecies within the confines of His spiritual building.  (See Page 826). But these "measuring lines" shall cause apostates "not  willing  to  hear" to "stumble backwards" so that they are "broken and ensnared and caught." (28:13). Those refusing to be saved from apostate error by these "measuring lines" will suffer the prophesied extermination that is about to take place throughout 'Ephraimite' JW congregations in "all the land" worldwide.

WITH "STAMMERING" LIPS AND A "DIFFERENT" TONGUE.
Because they were sent "command upon command, measuring line upon measuring line" and were repeatedly warned as though by a "stammering" tongue, apostate sinners occupying Zion will come to be in dread at the arrival of the Spirit Judgement of God.  (28:11-13.  33:10-14). It will not only prove that they "refused to listen" or "let  the  exhausted have (spiritual) rest" just before Almighty God Jehovah begins His Sovereign Rule over all mankind, but that their treaty with Death to escape His Judgement is being swept away.  (28:11  19 NEB)  (2 Esdras 9:9-12 NEB).

The "Word of the Lord" has become "harsh cries and raucous shouts" to warn of the imminence of the Judgement of God. (28:13 NEB). How shameful to have delayed until the Word of God has become a "stammering" tongue of "harsh cries and  raucous shouts", and then to witness unfaithful 'Ephraimite' covenant-leavers ("drunkards of Ephraim") and the glory of their "eminent crowns" of unsealed JW 'elders' being "trampled down" by the Spirit of the Lord's Judgement!  (28:1-3).

Idols of the Philistines were abandoned by them and literally burned by people of God. The spiritual fulfilment will be the abandonment and Spirit "fire" of God upon apostate "dungy idols" !
