ALL THIS "BECAUSE OF THE
VIOLENCE DONE TO JUDAH AND
"THE VIOLENCE DONE TO JUDAH".
The "violence" of
this hostile "trampling" was a work of rebellion against
anointed heavenly Kingdom heirs of God Those who refused to discontinue their spiritual "refining work" were compulsorily "made to stumble" (were disfellowshipped), while those who stayed are unfaithful covenant-leavers and unsealed JW 'elders' of the "disgusting thing" "standing in a holy place" carrying on "a disgusting thing and a lie". (Matt 24:15) (Rev 21:27). Unfaithful covenant-leavers and the unsealed JW 'elders' they appointed thereby shed "innocent blood… in her land" ("her land": The spiritual "land" allotted to faithful Spirit anointed sons of "Judah"). (Joel 3:19 NEB). After having apportioned out the spiritual "land" of God among themselves without Divine authority to do so, it is with reference to corrupted former heavenly angels (demons) who arranged for the appointment of unsealed men to positions of authority in Christ's congregations that faithful anointed sons of God say: "To that place, O Jehovah (The Valley of the Lord's Judgement), bring your powerful ones down." (Joel 3:11). Only after members of the "disgusting thing" "standing in a holy place" had usurped the authority of faithful anointed sons of God in Christ's congregations did these anointed "locusts" begin their spiritual work of "devouring" apostate false teachings and removing the unclean spirit of apostasy from the spiritual "land" of God. (Joel 1:6,7). In the book of Joel, place names are symbolic. For example: "Egypt" and "Edom" are names used to describe unspiritual people of this world who have not come to know God or be known by Him. (3:19. See Rev 11:7,8). The prophecy of God through the prophet Joel relates to the conclusion of the present system of things. (Cont. on Page 11/10/88).
