REVELATION
11:7-9.
After
the "man of lawlessness" had completed the
'shifting of responsibilities'
(their publicized words) from faithful anointed sons of God to unsealed JW
'elders',
we were sent to live in the Godless world symbolically described as "Sodom
and Egypt". Our enemies who had "trampled" and removed us
thought us spiritually "dead". But thankfully, we were ordered to
"Come on up here" to a higher plain of spiritual understanding.
(Rev 11:12).
REVELATION
11:10.
Those
who had "trampled" and excommunicated us rejoiced, for anointed
ones who had been "acting as a restraint" were now "out of
the way"; giving free rein to the apostasy of the "man of lawlessness". (2 Thess 2:7).
JWs began recommending "gifts"
of authority to one another in the congregations. It was then that the
"good news" became bad news for them and any new converts, as any
approach to God through faith was terminated. Giving glory to God out of fear as
one witnesses the anger of God being poured out upon mankind, is what now remains. (Rev 11:13. Zeph 2:11).
REVELATION
12:6.
When
we had been excommunicated by the "man of lawlessness", we were
sent into a "wilderness" condition by God to have all the
"lying signs and portents" they had implanted in our minds refined out.
(2 Thess 2:1 12). There, we were spiritually fed with accurate knowledge of the
Will of God, where no "stumbling-blocks" of apostate teaching or
hypocritical dispositions could hinder our spiritual growth. We were fed
corrective truths from God through His heavenly "woman"
(recorded
in the "Little Scroll"). (Rev 12:14).
The
Rule
of God will not commence
over mankind until all of the 144,000 Spirit anointed sons of God are cultivated
into the right spirit condition. Then the seventh "trumpet" shall
herald the commencement of the
Rule of God in heaven, and the seventh
"bowl" of the anger of God will be poured out upon the earth. (Rev 11:15 18 & 16:17 21).
The first part of the Will of God
will have been completed when the 144,000 Spirit anointed sons of God are
created and sanctified to serve as priests and judges in the heavenly Kingdom of
God by His Christ. They will rule and spiritually refine a "great crowd"
of "other
sheep"
from among mankind, who shall also inherit everlasting heavenly spirit life when
their earthly life is over.
(John 10:16).
