WHO ARE THE PEOPLE OF GOD?
HOW CAN THEY BE IDENTIFIED?

"For, look! in those days and in that time, when I shall bring back the captive ones of Judah and Jerusalem, I will also collect together all the nations and bring them down to the low plain of Jehoshaphat; and I will put Myself on Judgement with them* there on account of My people and My inheritance Israel, whom they scattered among the nations; and they apportioned out My own land. And for My people they kept casting lots; and they would give the male child for a prostitute, and the female child they sold for wine, that they might drink."  (Joel 3:1-3).

But how did these enemies of God apportion out His spiritual "land"? By "casting lots" (i.e.) appointing unsealed men as 'elders' during the 2,300 evenings and mornings of Daniel 8:13,14     men whom God did not appoint. This  process of "casting" out "lots" was to scatter His faithful anointed sons (the "lots")     first by removing their congregational responsibilities from them and through letters of recommendation giving them to unsealed men, and then completely casting them out of JW congregations. (See pages 248 and 250 of the 1975  JW Yearbook of those falsely calling themselves Jehovah's Witnesses, the apostate "man of lawlessness" "standing in a holy place").  (Matt 24:15.  2 Thess 2:1-12). The sect of JWs adopted the apostate teachings of unclean spirits and implemented unauthorized changes to the spiritual meaning of the Word of God rather than be subjected to righteous spiritual instruction from God revealed by Holy Spirit through His anointed sons under sanctification.

RECOMPENSE FOR THE YEARS OF THE "LOCUSTS".  (Joel 2:25).
The first known devouring of apostate teachings by His military force of anointed "locusts" in the "land" were the denunciations of God issued through one of His faithful anointed sons and  sent to JW congregations on the 14th December 1976. Page 777 was entitled: "Are We Starting Again To Recommend Ourselves?" and cited 2 Corinthians 3:1, and Page 778 was entitled: Are We Recommending Men Who Recommend Themselves? and cited 2 Corinthians 10:12. These pages exposed the guilt of apostate men and women who while under a vow to God sinned against Holy Spirit, exchanging the future glory of heavenly immortality for glory from mere men. Their evil course began with flattery of fellow apostates to secure a recommendation from them for the appointment of JW 'elder' and an apportionment of "land" in Christ's congregations.

"Tribulation ten days" (years) suffered by faithful anointed sons of God began on the 1st December 1971 when the sect of JWs issued an unclean spirit directive that any unsealed man could be considered and recommended for the position of 'elder'. (Rev 2:9,10). This tribulation ended on 30th November 1981 when the "Little Scroll" was sent complete (as of that date) in denunciation of this unclean spirit of apostasy in the spiritual "land" of God. The work of anointed "locusts" began on the 14th December 1976, and will continue until all apostate teachings and the spirit of uncleanness have been eradicated from the spiritual "land" of God. (Joel 2:1-11). During the "tribulation ten days", spiritual "food" received by anointed "locusts" from God was primarily in the form of denunciations and corrective disciplines. Joy within His spiritual "land" is withheld during the curse of the "flying scroll" #  that is the bitter "Little Scroll".  (Joel 1:16.  Zech 5:1-4. #)  (Rev 10:1  11).

After the spiritual cleansing work of anointed "locusts" is completed, Jehovah has promised "cleansed grain", "new wine" and "oil" to recompense His faithful servants, and will be a reason for rejoicing. No more will they suffer unwarranted shame or reproach.  (Joel 2:19.  2:23-27).
