EVENTS BEFORE AND DURING
THE DAY OF JEHOVAH.
"Woe to those who are craving
the day of Jehovah! What, then, will the day of Jehovah mean to you people? It
will be darkness, and no light, just as when a man flees because of
the lion, and
the bear actually meets him; and as when he went into the house
and supported his hand against the wall, and the
serpent bit him... I have hated, I have rejected your festivals, I
shall not enjoy the smell of your solemn assemblies."
(From Amos
5:18-21).
Although this scripture was first
addressed to ancient Israel, the "day of Jehovah" will have its
fulfilment in the "time of the end". Jehovah is not partial in His
Judgement, and the "day of Jehovah"
has not yet arrived. (Dan 12:4).
|
THE "LION": |
Symbolizes
justice (near to the throne of God), the authority of His
Son The Christ, and
the destruction of enemies. (Rev 4:7
&
5:5). |
| THE "SERPENT": |
Symbolizes
satan the devil, cunning, deceit. (Rev 12:9. 2 Cor 11:3). |
| THE "BEAR": |
Symbolizes
danger and ferocity. (2 Kings 2:23,24 NEB). |
The celebration of
millennium
festivals being planned worldwide is not in accordance with the Will of God.
Such activities will only serve to reveal the spirit nakedness of the
participants to The Christ Michael "coming as a thief". (Rev
16:15).
THE
SIGN OF THE CHRIST'S COMING.
The "thief"
who is coming is the Son of Man, who already is breaking into houses (families).
Many are being abandoned. (Matt 24:3 to 25:46. Mark 13:3-37. Luke 21:7-36).
ONE OF
THE SIGNS BEFORE HIS COMING.
One of the signs is the revealing of
unsealed JW
'elders' as
the apostate "man of
lawlessness" who
"trampled" on Christ's anointed brothers in his congregations, and
falsely prophesied that the "Day of the Lord is already here." (2 Thess 2:1-12 NEB & NWT). Their demonic
behaviour and "lying signs and portents" have been
"revealed" by this writer, who since 1975 has sent denunciations from
God to JW congregations.
WHAT
WILL MEN BE LIKE AT THE COMING OF JEHOVAH?
While the apostle
Paul describes the aspect of mankind in the "time of the end", the
apostle Peter speaks of the complete destruction of their system of things by
Spirit "fire", followed by a "new heavens" and a
"new earth". (2 Tim 3:1-9 & 2 Peter 3:10-13 RSV).
THE
REWARD: BLESSING OR RUINATION.
At the revelation
of our Lord Jesus from heaven, when he will bring vengeance upon those who do
not know God and those who do not obey the good news about our Lord Jesus, he
will repay tribulation to those who made tribulation for servants of God. (2 Thess 1:6-10). The political
"wild beast", the sectarian "false prophet", and
sectarian "Babylon" will be completely burned with "fire".
(Rev 19:19-21. 18:1-8).
The Lord's servants will be rewarded with His blessings,
while those ruining the earth shall themselves be ruined. (Rev 11:18).
WHEN
THESE EVENTS ARE TAKING PLACE.
The unfolding of
these events shall indicate that the Rule of God has commenced.
(Rev 11:15-18
& 16:17-21)
(Rev 19:6).
26/7/98.
