UNDER THE RULE OF THE KING OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
SPIRITUALLY
QUALIFIED
MEN
AS
"PRINCES"
WILL
COME FROM A SPIRITUAL "WILDERNESS" TO ASSIST
THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE "WAY OF HOLINESS".
"CARELESS DAUGHTERS" WILL LAMENT:
THE LAST SIGN BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF THE "WAY".
Before the
"Way of Holiness" is implemented on earth, "careless daughters"
rejecting the Spirit of our Lord in their lives will tremble and lament. They
will learn by the Spirit of the Lord's Judgement that they have lost all hope of
salvation. This will be their reward for helping to create apostates to occupy
the spiritual "land" of God and ensuring that the majority of its
inhabitants are like "thorns and briars". (Isaiah 32:9-14 NWT & NEB).
By the Spirit of God causing agitation and trembling within them, these
"careless daughters" will realize that they were only capable of raising
offspring to become unprincipled scoundrels with no hope of salvation through
The Christ. (32:5,6). For it says, "the vintage will be over
and no produce gathered in." (32:10 NEB).
They will lament over the proven ineffectiveness of their reproductive powers,
their "fruit-bearing vine". (32:12). The "soil"
represents the spiritual "land" of God's people. (32:13 NEB).
The prophecy of Isaiah 32:9 14 particularly refers to apostates falsely
claiming to live within the spiritual boundaries of God, but whose rebellious
dispositions are like "thorns and briars".
"PRINCES" OF THE "NEW EARTH".
Only spiritually
qualified men whom our Lord Jesus deems to be his "princes" will
minister according to the "Way of Holiness". They will be like a
refuge from the storm and like "streams of water in a waterless country".
They will minister only to those already "walking on the way".
(32:1,2. 35:8-10). Unprincipled scoundrels will no longer be thought of as
noble, nor villains called princes (as is the case today), for such ones will
not find shelter from the Spirit of the Lord's Judgement. (33:10-14).
WHEN MERCY HAS ITS WORK COMPLETE.
As the period
designated for preaching the "good news" of salvation to gather
new converts in Christ has expired (1 Peter 2:2,3 NEB. Rev 10:7), and the current "vintage" of beloved people of God
gathered through the "good news" is now being prepared for the
arrival of The Christ and his Judgement of mankind, no purpose would be served
in the extension of mercy to unprincipled men, women, or their offspring on
earth. This is for the reason that their "produce" has proven to
be "thorns and briars". At the arrival of the Son of Man, the "produce" of their "fruit bearing vine" will be
"hurled into the great wine press of the anger of God". (Rev 14:18-20).
Continuing to show mercy to such ones would merely prolong their disruptiveness
to His beloved people in the spiritual "land" of God, with no
possible benefit. Hope of salvation for such ones is abandoned. (32:12-14).
THE "WAY OF HOLINESS".
The "Way of
Holiness" is the path by which those redeemed by Jehovah will enter
spiritual "Zion". (35:10). Their return from the
"wilderness" condition they were sent into is the "Way"
that will blossom. (35:1,2). Their God will come with "dread
retribution" to save them. (35:4 NEB).
Villainous persons denying justice to the needy shall be destroyed. (32:7).
Those redeemed by Jehovah will certainly come to Zion with a joyful cry, and
"grief and sighing must flee away". (35:10).
