"The Mother Of The Harlots" and The Political "Wild Beast".

ALMIGHTY GOD IS PUTTING ETHIOPIANS TO DEATH.

THE FULFILMENT OF THE WORD OF GOD IS NOW TAKING PLACE.
"Can the Nubian* change his skin, or the leopard its spots? And you? Can you do good, you who are schooled in evil? Therefore I will scatter you like chaff driven by the desert wind. This is your lot, the portion of the rebel, measured out by Me, says the Lord".  (Jer 13:23-25 NEB).

Jeremiah was prophet of God to the nations. Through His prophet, Jehovah describes the stubbornly rebellious spirit condition of Ethiopians today; that for Ethiopians schooled in evil to do good would be as incredible as changing their  skin, or a leopard its spots. Each one follows "the promptings of his own stubborn and wicked heart."  (11:8 NEB).

THEIR CRIMES "Your adulteries, your lustful neighing, your  wanton lewdness, are an offence to Me. On the hills and in the open country I have seen your foul deeds."  (13:27 NEB).

THE OUTCOME "When they fast, I will not listen to their cry… I will not accept them. I will make an end of them with sword, with famine and pestilence."  (14:12 NEB).

FALSE PROPHETS TODAY.  (Originating in Jerusalem, but existing in all nations today).
"Therefore these are the words of the Lord about the prophets who, though not sent by Me, prophesy in My Name and say that neither sword nor famine shall touch this land: By sword and by famine shall those prophets meet their end."  (14:15 NEB).

NO RAIN POSSIBLE FROM FALSE GODS.  (Falsehood of sectarian religions exposed).
"Can any of the false gods of the nations give rain? Or do the heavens send showers of themselves? Art Thou not God, O Lord, that we may hope in Thee? It is Thou only who doest all these things."  (14:22 NEB)  ("You Yourself have done all these things". NWT).

NO PRAYERS FOR ETHIOPIAN REBELS.
Those who give aid to Ethiopian drought victims are enemies of God. That is why it is written: "Then the Lord said to me, Do not pray for the well-being of this people."  (14:11 NEB).

"For these are the words of the Lord: Enter no house where there is a mourning-feast; do not go in to wail or to bring comfort, for I have withdrawn My peace from this people, says the Lord, My love and affection."  (16:5 NEB).

* Nubian:  Ethiopian.

EGYPT AND ETHIOPIA AS A RANSOM
FOR THE SPIRITUAL NATION OF GOD.

"For I am Jehovah your God, the Holy One of Israel your Saviour. I have given Egypt as a ransom for you, Ethiopia and Se'ba in place of you. Owing to the fact that you have been precious in My eyes, you have been considered honourable, and I Myself have loved you. And I shall give men in place of you, and national groups in place of your soul." (Isaiah 43:3,4).  Rebellious spirits are being sacrificed for His servants and witnesses.

THE DROUGHTS.
These droughts will cause a quaking in the spirit of those nations not celebrating the festivals of the booths, as they risk being similarly affected.*  (Zech 14:16-19).  (See Subject Index: "Festivals of Booths").

"And I will give them for a quaking to all the kingdoms* of the earth on account of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah, the king of Judah, for what he did in Jerusalem." (From Jer 15:4). Many Ethiopians today continue living in spirit rebellion against heavenly "Jerusalem". So after more than 2,600 years of rebellion, our Lord is giving "attention to their sins":

"This is what Jehovah has said concerning this people: "Thus they have loved to wander about; their feet they have not kept in check. So Jehovah Himself has taken no pleasure in them. Now He will remember their error and will give attention to their sins.""  (14:10).

"FOUR FAMILIES" SENT BECAUSE OF ONE.
Because of continuance in "Manasseh"-type errors, evil that has been schooled in many Ethiopians since childhood, Jehovah has now commissioned over them "four families":

"This is what Jehovah has said: 'Whoever is for deadly plague, to deadly plague! And whoever is for the sword, to the sword! And whoever is for the famine, to the famine! And whoever is for the captivity, to the captivity! And I will commission over them four families,' is the utterance of Jehovah, 'the sword to kill, and the dogs to drag away, and the flying creatures of the heavens and the beasts of the earth to eat and to bring to ruin.'"  (Jer 15:2,3).

The house of Manasseh was guilty of spiritistic practices, ba'al worship, and the shedding of innocent blood.  (See 2 Kings 21:1-16 & 2 Chron 33:1-9).  Justifiably, Almighty God is bringing such evils to an end: "I am taking no pleasure in them; for by the sword and by famine and by pestilence I am bringing them to their end."  (14:12).

"…your acts of adultery and your neighings, your loose conduct in prostitution. Upon the hills, in the field, I have seen your disgusting things..." (13:27). So now, after many generations of spirit rebellion, no matter how much more time were to be granted them, the process of spirit reconciliation to God is not possible for Ethiopians schooled in evil since childhood. (13:23-27 NEB). So when they are struck down by the Lord, they must not be buried or mourned, just as it is written:

"For these are the words of the Lord concerning sons and daughters born in this place, the mothers who bear them and the fathers who beget them in this land: When men die, struck down by deadly ulcers, there shall be no wailing for them and no burial; they shall be like dung lying upon the ground. When men perish by sword or famine, their corpses shall become food for birds and for beasts."  (From 16:1-4 NEB).

4/2/85B.
 

THE "BIRTH PANGS" OF LEBANON.
The writings of the prophet Isaiah are thought to have been written between 775 and 732 BCE and the writings of the prophet Jeremiah between 647 and 580 BCE. In accordance with  evidence of current events, the following scriptures are now undergoing fulfilment: "The time is but short before Lebanon goes back to grassland and the grassland is no better than scrub." (Isaiah 29:17 NEB). The spirits of the inhabitants of Lebanon are gradually being made desolate by events in their land.

"The time is but short before Lebanon goes back to grassland and the grassland is no better than scrub" was not merely a period of the prophet Isaiah's day, for Jeremiah prophesied: "O you who are dwelling in Leb'a.non, being nested in the cedars, how you will certainly sigh when there come to you birth pangs, the labour pains like those of a woman giving birth!"  (See Jer 22:20-23 & Zech 11:1-3).

Further scrutiny of the prophecy of Isaiah reveals important developments yet to be fulfilled: "…out of the darkness even the eyes of the blind ones will see… rejoicing in Jehovah Himself… because the tyrant must reach his end..."  (Isaiah 29:18-20).

WHO IS THE TYRANT?  AND WHO IS LIKE A "WOMAN GIVING BIRTH"?
The desolating events unfolding in Lebanon causing its inhabitants to groan as though suffering "birth pangs" are evidence that satan the tyrant "king of Babylon", who had been magnifying himself, is gradually being "cut down to the earth". (Isaiah 14:12,13.  See Page 8/12/82). Even the "cedars" of Lebanon will rejoice at satan's end. Of satan the "king of Babylon" they will feel, "Ever since you have lain down, no [wood]cutter comes up against us." (See Isaiah 14:3-8). The agents of satan's tyranny, the political "wild beast" and the sectarian "false prophet", will be abyssed.  (Rev 19:20).  The "wild beast" includes all kingly rulers and political leaders.  (Rev 13:16 18).

Jehovah Himself is creating "new heavens" and a "new earth". (Isaiah 65:17). And the heavenly "woman" of God will soon give new Spirit birth to her anointed sons     those who are to rule from the new Spirit heavens over the "new earth". (Rev 2:26,27. 21:1-4). The desolation of the spirits of the inhabitants of Lebanon is such that they are like "dried grass", and "the grassland is no better than scrub". This is just one of many events leading up to the beginning of the "new heavens" and the "new earth", just as it is written: "With all these things the birth pangs (pangs of distress. NWT) of the new age begin." (See Matt 24:7,8 NEB). These "birth pangs" on earth precede the Spirit birth of the 144,000 anointed sons of the heavenly "woman" of God.  (Rev 7:4-8.  Heb 12:22-24).

"Look! Their very heroes have cried out in the street; the very messengers of peace will weep bitterly. The highways have been made desolate; the one passing over the path has ceased. He has broken the covenant; He has contemned the cities; He has taken no account of mortal man. The land has gone mourning, has withered away. Leb'a.non has become abashed; it has mouldered. Shar'on has become like the desert plain; and Ba'shan and Car'mel are shaking off their leaves. "Now I will rise up," says Jehovah, "now I will exalt Myself; now I will lift Myself up. You people conceive dried grass; you will give birth to stubble. Your own spirit, as a fire, will eat you up. And peoples must become as the burnings of lime. As thorns cut away, they will be set ablaze even with fire.""  (Isaiah 33:7-12).

THE "PLAGUE OF HAIL" UPON BABYLON/IRAQ.

"The great city was split in three; the cities of the world fell in ruin; and God did not forget Babylon the great, but made her drink the cup which was filled with the fierce wine of His vengeance. Every island vanished; there was not a mountain to be seen. Huge hailstones, weighing perhaps a hundredweight, fell on men from the sky; and they cursed God for the plague of hail, because that plague was so severe."  (From Rev 16:19-21 NEB).

This scripture has been quoted with reference to the destructive fall and end of Babylon/Iraq. What will follow will be the outpouring of the seventh "bowl" of the anger of God upon the wealth and splendour of commercial "Babylon" and sectarian "Babylon" in all cities of the world. (16:17). For together with Babylon/Iraq they make up the "three parts" of "Babylon the great" to be remembered with the "fierce wine of His vengeance". (16:19).  With the fall of "Babylon the great" the Rule of Almighty God Jehovah begins!  (19:1  6).

Currently a plague-like "hail" is falling from the sky upon the land and people of Iraq. This "plague of hail" is in the form of thousands of missiles and bombs raining down upon the wealth and splendour of Babylon/Iraq and laying it waste. From the commencement of the war on the 16th of January 1991, missiles and bombs have rained down ceaselessly, falling on men from the sky both day and night.

As the inhabitants of Babylon/Iraq utter curses against this "plague of hail" they are also cursing a judicial decision of God. (17:16,17 NEB). Jehovah has not forgotten the history and the legacy of Babylon/Iraq, and is executing His anger upon the sins of this cruel and Godless race. As evil offspring, they share the bloodguilt of their Godless forefathers, and are held to account for the shedding of the blood of God's people, just as it is written: "For the blood of the prophets and of God's people was found in her, the blood of all who had been done to death on earth."  (18:24 NEB). This "plague of hail" is the execution of God's wrath upon the spirit rebellion of this part of "Babylon the great".  (16:19-21 NEB).

THE RULE OF GOD IS "COMING LIKE A THIEF" WITH JUDGEMENT.
The Judgement of God upon Babylon/Iraq has begun. Next, He will bring to Judgement all the members of commercial "Babylon" and sectarian "Babylon" in every city on earth. (18:2,3 NEB). Millions of people throughout the world engage in demon worship in the erroneous belief that they worship God. Sectarian "Babylon" consists of worshippers of idols, who obey the demonically inspired rules of men handed down to them, worship that has spread throughout the earth over many generations to pollute every nation on earth. This is the judicial decision of God: "Therefore a time is coming when I will punish Babylon's idols, and all her land shall be put to shame, and all her slain shall lie fallen in her midst... Babylon must fall for the sake of Israel's slain, as the slain of all the world fell for the sake of Babylon."  (Jer 51:47 & 49 NEB).

"Flee out of Babylon, every man for himself, or you will be struck down for her sin; for this is the Lord's day of vengeance".  (Jer 51:6 NEB).

"Get out of her, My people, if you do not want to share with her in her sins, and if you do not want to receive part of her plagues. For her sins have massed together clear up to heaven, and God has called her acts of injustice to mind."  (Rev 18:4).

8/2/91.
 

"KNOWING HE HAS A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME." (Rev 12:12).
THE PERIOD OF THEIR JUDGEMENT HAS BEGUN!

"Lend your aid and come, all you nations round about, and collect yourselves together. To that place, O Jehovah, bring Your powerful ones down. Let the nations be aroused and come up to the low plain of Jehoshaphat;  for there I shall sit in order to judge all the nations round about."  (Joel 3:11,12).

17/5/86.
 

"Who is wise, that he may understand these things? Discreet, that he may know them? For the ways of Jehovah are upright, and the righteous are the ones who will walk in them;  but the transgressors are the ones who will stumble in them."  (Hosea 14:9).

"And it must occur that in the place in which it used to be said to them, 'You men are not My people,' it will be said to them, 'The sons of the Living God.'"  (1:10).

These faithful sons of "Judah" and of "Israel" "will certainly be collected together into a unity", with "one head", and will "go up out of the land, because great will be the day of Jez're.el."  (1:11).  (Jez're.el:  God will sow seed*).

"IN THE PLACE"?  WHERE?
"The place" is the "wilderness" condition into which anointed sons of "Judah" were ostracized, to be spiritually cleansed and become "sons of the Living God." But as for those who were also called to become members of God's heavenly "woman", but who spiritually "fornicated", they were not chosen for further spiritual development due to their unfaithfulness to God. (Hosea 4:1-10. Matt 22:14 RSV). These unfaithful covenant-leavers have progressively had a legal case conducted against them by faithful anointed "sons of the Living God", to whom these unfaithful ones once said: "You men are not My people". (See Dan 11:30-32). "Children" of the spiritual "fornication" of unfaithful "Israel" are denounced by the legal case of the "Little Scroll". (Rev 10:8-11). This "fornication" by members of unfaithful "Israel" has given birth to "children" of their "fornication", the outcome of unfaithful "Israel" saying: "I want to go after those passionately loving me, those giving my bread and my water, my wool and my linen, my oil and my drink."  (2:4,5 NWT & NEB.  See Rev 2:20-23).

Those passionately loving unfaithful "Israel" instead of the commandments of God are "Ahab" ba'al worshippers of the "disgusting thing" that have profaned the sanctuary of God and that are to become an "object of astonishment". (Micah 6:16. Dan 11:31). Jehovah is hedging their way about with "thorn-bushes", obstructing "her" path with a "wall", "so that she can no longer follow her old ways."  (Hosea 2:6 NEB).  Though chasing after those passionately loving "her", "she will not find them." (2:7). Consequently, Jehovah is snatching back His  spiritual "grain", "sweet wine in its season" and "wool" covering their spirit nakedness. (2:9,10). Jehovah will desolate the "vine" and "fig tree" that unfaithful "Israel" has received as gifts from "her" "intense lovers"     causing all their "festal seasons" to cease.  (2:11,12.  Zech 13:2-6).

We rejoice that Jehovah has prevailed over faithful anointed sons of spiritual "Judah" to send them into a spiritual "wilderness" condition to "speak to (their) heart." (2:14.  Rev 12:14). Jehovah has begun to restore to us His fruitful "vineyards", turning troublesome ostracism into the "entrance to hope" for conducting the legal case of "My Husband" "You are My God."  (2:15,16 & 23).  Being ostracized for carrying on a legal case for Jehovah is   how faithful anointed sons of God arrive at the "entrance to hope". (2:2) (Achor:  ostracism, trouble). Jehovah allures His people back by the seed* of troublesome ostracism, which is the "entrance to hope". (2:15).

Unfaithful "Israel" has stopped following Jehovah and are making "sacrificial smoke" to their dungy idols of ba'al and the rules fabricated by these JW apostates. "The quarrel with you, false priest, is Mine", says Jehovah. (4:4 NEB). For they have "proceeded to dedicate themselves to the shameful thing, and they came to be disgusting like the thing of their love."  (9:10).

"ON THE DAY OF THE LORD'S SACRIFICE".
(Zephaniah 1:8 NEB).

"Silence before the Lord God!  for the day of the Lord is near. The Lord has prepared a sacrifice and has hallowed His guests. On the day of the Lord's sacrifice I will punish the royal house and its chief officers and all who ape outlandish fashions. On that day I will punish all who dance on the temple terrace, who fill their master's house with crimes of violence and fraud."  (Zeph 1:7-9 NEB).

HOW THE "ROYAL HOUSE" AND ITS OFFICERS
SEGREGATE THEMSELVES FROM ALL OTHERS.
Segregationists not only employ "outlandish fashions" to integrate and associate with fellow "officers", but use this as a means of identification and symbol of authority to distinguish themselves from others     even to divide themselves off from other nations. This is the method by which ethnic differences are exploited and authority among their own kind established.

Primarily, the "royal house" described in this scripture is that of King David, from whom natural born Jews trace their descent. On the day of the Lord's sacrifice Almighty God will punish all those among them or allied to them who exercise authority over the people through the use of outlandish garb, violence (military force), ethnic segregation, or commercial usury and fraud. In contravention of the Law of God, many Jews run financial institutions and banks practicing usury (lending with interest).  (See Ezek 18:5-9 NEB).

"CRIMES OF VIOLENCE AND FRAUD".  (Zeph 1:9 NEB).
"Violence and fraud" is manifested in a variety of ways, but often through the adoption of exploitive financial and commercial practices for "driving others to work";  manipulating financial and business transactions to gain unjust advantage over the people.  (Isaiah 14:4).  (See Pages  31/12/84A,  31/12/84B, & 31/12/84C).

"For all the traders are undone, the merchants are wiped out. For I am searching Jerusalem with a lamp, to punish careless men, living at ease, who think the Eternal never does anything     so their goods shall be plundered, their houses laid in ruins [[they shall not live in the houses they build, nor drink wine from the vineyards they plant]]."  (Zeph 1:11-13 Moffatt).

Although declaring themselves rabbis, Jews wearing such bizarre attire often excel at weaving commerce into their activities, some even officiating as chief officers at Davidic ceremonies. They know full well the Law of God against usury. But still they lend at interest to acquire wealth and power over others     dispossessing the poor through maladministration. They defraud. (Leviticus 25:35-38 NEB). Such natural born Jews are among the "haughtily exultant ones" of David's house today.  (Zeph 3:11).

THE WORLDWIDE HIERARCHY OF SECTS.
Although sectarian, "haughtily exultant ones" of the Gentile clergy are not of the "royal house".  They do however offend God as lawbreakers, for they too wear outlandish fashions to exalt over others.

14/1/85B.
 

THE "GREAT EARTHQUAKE"
OR "[EARTH]SHAKING GREAT".

[EARTH]SHAKING.
The earth and its inhabitants are undergoing great social upheavals. For generations Ethiopia has been scoured by rivers, but they are now being sacrificed by the power of God. (Isaiah 18:1 7 NEB). Although its inhabitants have not been subjected to an earthquake like that of Mexico City on the 20th September 1985, neither have they given glory to Him. (11:13). So now they are being sacrificed by drought and famine. News of the plight of each of these nations has been earthshaking to all mankind.

"THE SECOND WOE IS PAST.  LOOK!
  THE THIRD WOE IS COMING QUICKLY."  (11:14).
The earthquake in Mexico City occurred to signal the spiritual fulfilment of The Christ's prophecy to the apostle John. It signified that "in that hour" a tenth of those called to the heavenly "City" of God had fallen victim for acting unfaithfully in His service on earth. Seven thousand men (names and glory) were killed by this spiritual "earthquake". (See Page 857B). The "Little Scroll" was used as the basis for Judgement. (10:8-11). Events of the Mexico earthquake were consistent with the earthquake in the spiritual "land" of God,  for each was:

More importantly, it marks the end of the second woe, and the next event "coming quickly": The blowing of the seventh "trumpet" heralding "the kingdom of the world did become the Kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He will rule as King forever and ever." (11:15). The seventh "trumpet" has already been 'sounded' (though not as yet blown) with the spiritual revelations of the "Little Scroll", signalling the end of gathering persons through the "good news"* of The Christ. (10:7). The blowing of the seventh "trumpet" will herald the commencement of the Rule of God, which will bring about the wrath of the nations and instigate the wrath of God upon them.  (11:18).

Note:  Giving glory to God by the exercise of faith in the "good news"* of The Christ could only have been achieved through accurate knowledge of the Will of God, being active in His service, and by one's progressive sanctification. It therefore required time to accomplish.

The "sounding" of the "seventh angel" also signals "the cup of the wine of the anger" of God upon worshippers of such false gods as the Madonna venerated by millions of idol worshippers in Mexico, and all other idol worshippers ruining life on earth. (16:19 Greek T.) (See Page 19/8/85). But will those who remain over become frightened and give glory to the God of heaven? Perhaps further calamities will be necessary. But giving glory to God through fear of calamity is not as valued as giving glory to Him by faith. The impending desolation of Egypt will be an even greater social upheaval. The "great city" of "Babylon the Great" of Revelation 16:19 which splits into three parts is a symbolic expression of God used to describe:

EARTHQUAKE:  Volcanic convulsion of earth's surface; fig. social or other upheaval.

26/9/85.
 

OF THIS PRESENT  PERIOD PRIOR TO THE RULE OF GOD.

We are now living in the period and related events of the "sounding" "voice" of the seventh angel before he blows his "trumpet" to herald the commencement of the everlasting Rule of God, both in heaven and on earth.  (Rev 11:15 & 10:7. See Greek T.)

The details of this are described in scripture: That during the period of the "sounding" of the seventh angel's "trumpet", the "good news" of salvation by The Christ came to a finish, and those to be saved by Almighty God Jehovah through faith in His Christ Jesus (the "good news") was decided upon. Thereafter, people may only give glory to God out of fear as they witness calamitous events taking place on earth by the power of God.  (11:13).

When Jehovah begins His Rule, those who do not know God and those who do not obey the "good news" about our Lord Jesus, whether alive on earth (the 'living dead') or already dead and buried, "will undergo the judicial punishment of everlasting destruction from before the Lord". (2 Thess 1:6-9). They will not inherit the Spirit creative benefits of the Kingdom Rule of God.

"This takes into account that it is righteous on God's part to repay tribulation to those who make tribulation for you, but, to you who suffer tribulation, relief along with us at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his powerful angels in a flaming fire, as he brings vengeance upon those who do not know God and those who do not obey the good news about our Lord Jesus. These very ones will undergo the judicial punishment of everlasting destruction from before the Lord and from the glory of his strength".  (2 Thess 1:6-9).

Obeying the "good news" has taken time and considerable effort. To be truly obedient to the "good news" of our Lord Jesus, certain changes have had to be made in our lives as our spirits are readjusted. These changes are based on our growing knowledge of the Will of God and part of our appeal to God for a "good conscience".  (1 Peter 3:21). In accord with our allegiance to God, we were baptized in symbol of our vow to dedicate our lives to carry out the Will of God for us. (1 Peter 4:1,2). "Most truly I say to you, Unless anyone is born from water and Spirit (baptism), he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God." (John 3:5). Time was needed to accomplish this through faith. So as the opportunity extended to mankind through the "good news" was being brought to a finish during 1982, there wasn't enough time left to be subjected to God through faith in the "good news" of The Christ.  (10:7)  (See diagram on Page 879).

Through the earthquake that occurred in Mexico City in 1985, the inhabitants were being warned of their Godless spirit aspect and idol worship. As prophesied "a tenth of the city fell; and seven thousand [men] were killed by the earthquake". (11:13). The earthquake was the first of many calamities to take place by the power of God, and was even an act of mercy in that it gave advance warning to those remaining to give glory to God even out of fear. (11:13).  But did the survivors of Mexico City, or of any other nation, become frightened and give glory to the God of heaven? Time is running out before Almighty God Jehovah begins His Rule by means of His Christ and His Judgement of mankind begins.  (Rev 11:15-19 & 16:17-21).

7/9/93.
 

GOG OF MAGOG  (HOUSE, OF A HOUSE).
(Revelation 20:7-9).

'HOUSE, OF A HOUSE', OF A HOUSE, AND SO ON.
During May 1985 there came into my possession two volumes written by Augustine. His writings were certainly not inspired of God. He does, however, correctly define the meaning of "Gog of Magog" as 'house, of a house', corroborating my inspired testimony against the  "man of lawlessness" of the sect falsely calling themselves Jehovah's Witnesses. (2 Thess 2:1 12). After reading much of Augustine's speculations on the spiritual meanings of the Word of  God, I became increasingly aware of where a significant proportion of the false teachings of the "man of lawlessness"     whom Augustine calls the antichrist     came from.  (Note:  Augustine was one of the founders and architects of the Catholic sect).

FROM ONE HOUSE OF GOG, MANY OTHER HOUSES CAME TO BE.
The lawlessness of antichrists during the "time of the end" became evident through their warring against holy ones, changing the "times and Law" of God to do so, and removing holy ones from their God-given congregations. (Dan 7:25 & 11:30-32). It was then that these congregations became houses of Gog (Magog). Other congregational houses followed their example, (i.e. JW kingdom halls and homes, 'house, of a house', of a house, etc); with each new house (Magog) established and carried along by weekly instructions from the main house (of Gog). Their instructions were in the form of letters, tracts, magazines and books, containing false predictions (divination) and spurious interpretations of the Word of God to give their double faced visionaries superficial credence. This was the satanic power behind their warring. The "Little Scroll" contains detailed scriptural evidence exposing the methods used  by  the "man of lawlessness" to war against the holy ones during the "appointed times" and exposing their "powerful work and lying signs and portents".  (2 Thess 2:9)  (Rev 10:8 11).

"FIRE" FROM HEAVEN WILL DEVOUR THEM.  (Rev 20:9,10).
At the end of the approaching 1,000 years of the "Jacob" age, satan will be let loose out of his prison to again try to mislead the nations, Gog and Magog. But Spirit "fire" from heaven, as described in such letters of "fire" as the one you are now reading, will awaken antichrist enemies of God to His denunciation of their spirit lawlessness and condemn them to the reproach of eternal abhorrence. (Dan 12:2 NEB). These apostates are not written in the register of the "house of Israel" and will be permanently removed forever.  (Ezek 13:8,9).

THE CAUSES AND SOURCES OF INJURIOUS SCHEMES  (Ezek 38:10)
AND ATTACKS BY GOG'S CROWD FROM HOUSES (MAGOG)
OF SATAN (GOG), INCLUDING GOG'S CONGREGATIONAL HOUSES.

THE REVERSAL.
Instead of the houses of Gog (Magog) being recompensed with glory by satan for their injurious schemes against chosen people of God, they will receive Judgement and retribution from Jehovah God.  (See Dan 11:38,39)  (See Rev 11:18 NEB).

THE JUDGEMENT FROM JEHOVAH.
Each attack is defeated. (39:3,4). Jehovah draws out ("Meshech") its instigators and members and reveals their injurious scheme(s) at the expense of their 'house' (Magog). (38:16 NEB). Spoiling and plundering by Gog's crowd will be reversed. (39:10). Jehovah will sanctify His Holy Name through His Judgement of Gog and their houses (Magog) before their eyes, both individually and collectively: "Against his own brother the sword of each one will come to be."  (See 38:21,22).

SATAN MAKES TWO MAJOR ATTACKS.
The final attack(s) from those of the houses of satan (Gog's crowd) hostile to beloved people of  God will be at the end of the coming 1,000 year period called the "Jacob" age. (2 Esdras 6:7 10 NEB). After which, satan (Gog) and his crowd will be hurled into eternal torments outside the spiritual land of "Israel" for all time.  (Ezek 39:11 NEB)  (Rev 20:7 10). The first attack(s) will undergo fulfilment at the end of this "Esau" age, with demon spirits being abyssed after each attack.

HONOURING FATHERS AND MOTHERS.

"God spoke, and these were His words: I am the Lord your God who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. You shall have no other god to set against Me… Honour your father and your mother, that you may live long in the land which the Lord your God is giving you."  (From Exodus 20:1-17 NEB).

A dilemma: What if one's own father and mother continually dishonour God? Should we still honour them? For example, if they covet, or steal, or bear false witness against others, or worship false gods instead of Almighty God, or commit adultery, or even murder, should we still honour such parents?  The answer:  You cannot honour dishonourable conduct.

If they fornicate, or have fits of rage, or create discord in other ways, such as through jealousy, drinking bouts, or have selfish ambitions, or indulge in orgies, or in other forms of idolatry, should you still honour them?  Certainly not!  For  if  you do, you are sharing with them in their sins and condoning their behaviour by continuing to hold them in high esteem, thereby dishonouring the Spirit Law of God. Parents indulging in any of the aforementioned sins are not fathers or mothers deserving of honour from their offspring.

"Anyone can see the kind of behaviour that belongs to the lower nature: fornication, impurity, and indecency; idolatry and sorcery; quarrels, a contentious temper, envy, fits of rage, selfish ambitions, dissensions, party intrigues, and jealousies; drinking bouts, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who behave in such ways will never inherit the Kingdom of God. But the harvest of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, fidelity, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law dealing with such things as these. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have [sacrificed] the lower nature with its passions and desires. If the Spirit is the source of our life, let the Spirit also direct our course."  (Gal 5:19-25 NEB).

To avoid dishonouring Almighty God our Heavenly Father, what can sons and daughters do regarding dishonourable parents? Since "love means following the commands of God", we cannot share in a close relationship with those practicing such sins and continuing to live according to the "lower nature" of the flesh. (2 John V.6 NEB). Honour is a spiritual quality, and must be earned by one's obedience to the Word of God.  God is Holy.

PAUL PURSUED THE "OBSCURE EXPRESSION," LOVE.       HOW?
It was not just The Christ's teachings that Paul said we are "looking for" (Greek T.) and that will finally be "understood" (Moffatt), or "accurately known" (NWT). For in this same letter to the Corinthian congregation, and with reference to the headship arrangement of God, he reproved them for their shameful conduct, their misuse of spiritual gifts, and issued them with necessary countermeasures. No, what Paul was referring to was that ultimately, through The Christ's subjecting of him, he would come to know perfect love. Fully realizing "face to face" all the parts of love, he would then know how to express what is still for us an "obscure expression". Then, as a heavenly "new creation" he could be employed by The Christ in the subjection to God of those still on earth (just as Christ was able to subject Paul because he accurately knew Paul's weaknesses). (Gal 6:15). In this way the scripture is fulfilled: "then but I shall know accurately according as also I was accurately known."  (1 Cor 13:12 Greek T.)

But before one can truly show love to another, knowledge of that person and their weaknesses is required. Further, one who has knowledge of all the parts of the love of God is truly subject to Him, and so would understand how best to use this knowledge to best effect. For this reason we are told to "pursue love", which means to acquire accurate knowledge of the love of God, and to offer the appropriate part willingly for others. But not unwisely, as love does not "rejoice over unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth." (1 Cor 14:1)  (1 Cor 13:6). By blinding Paul to bring him to his senses, Christ showed love to him, opening the way for him to gain everlasting life. Christ adopted this means to gain Paul's attention, for him to listen and be taught.  (Acts 9:1 22).

LOVE "DOES NOT KEEP ACCOUNT OF THE INJURY".  ("Reckoning".  1 Cor 13:5 Greek T.)
By persecuting his disciples, Paul was once a persecutor of Christ. Of Paul it was said: "Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how many injurious things he did to your holy ones in Jerusalem."  (Acts 9:13,4). But it was Paul that Christ used to bear his name to nations, kings, and to the sons of Israel. (Acts 9:15). Christ did not keep account of the injurious acts of Paul.  Why?  Because although at the time Paul did not know who he was persecuting, Christ had knowledge of Paul's nature, and how Paul would have to suffer for Christ's name. (Acts 9:16). Christ also had accurate knowledge of Judas;  that Judas did know what he was doing, and an account of it has been kept. Jehovah Himself keeps account of certain injuries, and conducts a legal case for His people against wilful enemies, especially against those who prefer to have knowledge of, and act upon, the "deep things of satan".  (Rev 2:24)  (Micah 7:8 10).

Judas Iscariot and Ananias sinned in word and deed against the Holy Spirit of God. (Acts 5:1 11). "...whoever speaks a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, no, not in this system of things nor in that to come."  (From Matt 12:31,32)  (Heb 10:26,27.  1 John 3:8).

In summary: You cannot show true love to another unless first you have knowledge of that one's weaknesses and spiritual need. When we accurately know all the parts of perfect spiritual love "face to face", it will no longer be an "obscure expression". Those preferring to practice the "deep things of satan" will come face to face with shame. (Isaiah 66:5). Only when that which is complete, perfect love, is accurately known by all members of the "body" of Christ and implemented, will partial knowledge of "The Way" previously made known through gifts of the Spirit such as prophesying, speaking in tongues, and even knowledge itself, cease. (1 Cor 13:8 10). For that which is partial will be done away with, for we will have all the requisite parts of perfect love. As a discerner of inspired utterances, I leave you this directive, correcting a past erroneous teaching of the sect of JWs.  (1 Cor 12:10).

My love to all the brothers of The Christ and to those of the "other sheep" calling upon his name.

"THE GREATEST OF THESE IS LOVE."     WHY?

"Now, however, there remain faith, hope, love, these three;
but the greatest of these is love."  (1 Cor 13:13).

One cannot have spirit unity with God, or exercise true faith according to accurate knowledge  (1 John 4:7)  (Heb 11:1 NEB), or have one's hope of an immortal and incorruptible life within a regenerated spiritually quickened "body" realized  (Rom 8:11. 1 Cor 15:44-46 & 15:50-54)       unless one has love.

True love means obeying the commandments of God.  (2 John V.6).  Love embraces all of the spiritual virtues, both in earthly life and in one's future heavenly life;  promoting a degree of happiness now, which is made complete and eternal in heaven.  (Matt 5:3-12).

The love of God through The Christ is evident in those exercising true faith, for they submit to the administration of spirit readjustment according to Christ's knowledge of them, and are freed from the superfluous badness inherent in their sinful human nature.  (1 Cor 13:12.  James 1:21).

But without the active works of true faith, there is no hope. (James 2:18-26). Love embraces, develops and governs good principle (agapé). But while love encompasses goodwill and feelings of warm affection for others in the faith, it is not misguided by sentimentality, and hates wickedness. Love is a quality of, and from, Jehovah God, felt by His devoted servants. It has faith and hope incorporated in it. Jesus said: "If you observe my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have observed the commandments of the Father and remain in His love."  (John 15:10).

"THE OBJECT OF ASTONISHMENT."

(In fulfilment of Isaiah 13:9,  2 Thessalonians 2:1-12  and  Micah 6:16 NWT).

Evil 'elders' of the sect falsely calling themselves Jehovah's Witnesses have been forced to reveal to the world that as of 2002 they have been concealing more than twenty-three thousand seven hundred (23,720) reported cases of child sex abuse (paedophilia) committed by members of their organization worldwide. They have a concealed database record of the names and complaints of their many child victims who were, and are still, suffering the fear and shame of sexual acts being committed on their bodies, and while still being forced to attend congregation meetings. While this is happening, the children are also led to believe that they will be ostracized and left totally isolated by their congregation should they make these shameful acts public, because their 'elders' instil this fear into the children in their care. There are, I am sure, many thousands more than the 23,720 victims that BBC investigative journalists and ex-JWs have managed to extract from these concealed records     the names of children who were abused in past years, and those still being abused but too afraid to complain.

The programme shown on BBC1 TV on the 14th July 2002 at 10:15 p.m. entitled 'Suffer The Little Children' disclosed to viewers the most shocking and obscene behaviour being carried out by fathers on their own children while calling themselves Jehovah's Witnesses. And, in some cases, even on children of other families. Finally, in absolute desperation, some of the abused children went to the police. We heard astonishing details from just a few of the many thousands of children who have been abused by men in their congregations, but who were illegally protected by their evil church 'elders'.  Only a few abusers have been convicted and imprisoned.

Appeals for help from their child victims are ignored by church 'elders', who repeatedly quote Matthew 18:15 17     and use this as their disgusting excuse for taking no action. This  scripture states that it is a requirement for at least "two witnesses" to be present to establish the matter of a sin before any action may be taken (as if victims of abuse would invite an audience to witness the evil acts of filth being perpetrated on them).  Their 'elders' have also told the abused children that have appealed to them in tears and with feelings of shame and great anguish, to leave it to Jehovah!

This sect falsely calling themselves Jehovah's Witnesses has fulfilled every one of the details listed in 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12.  Particularly where it states: "So that is why God lets an operation of error go to them, that they may get to believing the lie, in order that they all may be judged because they did not believe the truth but took pleasure in unrighteousness."  (2:11,12).

Many of their lies are described in great detail in The Opened "Little Scroll"  (Subject Index: 'Jehovah's Witnesses').  Almighty God warned such people: "…to the end that I may make you an object of astonishment and her inhabitants something to be whistled at; and the reproach of peoples you men will bear."  (From Micah 6:16).

Their house to house preachers still knocking on doors did "trample" on faithful anointed sons of God during the 2,300 "evenings and mornings" of Daniel 8:13,14 and so shall become "like the mire of the streets" and a reproach to all peoples on earth.  (Micah 7:10).

Almighty God has abandoned this apostate organization falsely calling themselves "Jehovah's Witnesses".  Wherever you are: "Get out of her, My people, if you do not want to share with her in her sins".  We did, and we thank God.  (Rev 18:4).

RAMPANT  INCEST  IS  BEING  ALLOWED
AMONG THE SECT OF JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES.

The following details were transcribed from the BBC1 television programme 'Panorama' broadcast in Britain on the 14th of July 2002. The investigating reporter, Betsan Powys, revealed matters of serious concern to people of every nation: The rampant incestuous sexual abuse being inflicted upon many children of the sect falsely calling themselves Jehovah's Witnesses. The programme was called:  'Suffer The Little Children'.

Two years ago, 'elders' from one of their churches heard a shocking story. A young woman of their congregation at Stevenson on the Ayrshire coast of Scotland told them that: "Her father was sexually abusing her. The elders called her a liar. The elders sent her home to her father. They didn't tell her that three years earlier he'd confessed to them that he was abusing her sister." (He had been abusing her sister from the age of 11 until she was 15). "So she gave them an ultimatum: Either they did something or she'd go to the police. They did nothing." Alison then went to the police, warning them that her father had contact with other young girls in the church and had been sexually abusing a friend of Alison's. Only during the police investigation did she discover that: "The elders had kept a record of her father's name and confession on a church database     a register of suspected and convicted paedophiles to be monitored. The Jehovah's Witnesses had known for three years that her father was a self‑confessed paedophile. When Ian Cousins confessed to the church elders, he received a mild rebuke. When he confessed in court, he got five years in jail." Unfortunately, 'elders' of JWs have always adopted a policy of protecting not their children, but their abusers!  The elders had called her a liar, but had described Ian Cousins as:  'A very nice man.'

Bill Bowen had been a lifelong member of Jehovah's Witnesses and had been an 'elder' from 1984 to 2000, but resigned. He said: "The men at the top protect the church, not the children. They do not want people to know that they have this problem. By covering it up they hurt just one person, by letting it out then they hurt the image of the church." Apparently: "Elders must report abuse to the church's legal desk. Only if the law demands it must they contact the police. If it doesn't, they may be told they have a moral duty to call them, but often it seems to stop there. It seems to go no further than the church's own secret database."

Despite there being a total of 23,720 recorded cases of sexual abuse in the USA, Canada and Europe in the secret database of Jehovah's Witnesses, one of their members stated: "Focusing on numbers isn't important." To date (2002), campaigners from the US organization 'Silent Lambs' have heard from 5,000 victims. Bill Bowen is now calling for JWs to "come clean." "Once they're found out, it causes their own members to be deeply disturbed," he said.

Another father who abused his daughters, Heather Berry and her sister Holly Brewer from New Hampshire, is serving a minimum of 56 years imprisonment. The sisters are now taking JWs to court. The sisters call themselves the first survivors. When the BBC interviewer sought an interview with JWs at their headquarters, she said: "Jehovah's Witnesses refused an interview, but sent a box of video tapes instead." We also heard their mother Sara Poisson say concerning her two daughters: "My loyalty to the church cost my daughters dearly." Her husband Paul Berry also beat them. Sara Poisson reported her husband's ruthless incestuous abuse to the church. The 'elders' solution was that she be a better wife and pray more; that it was a bad thing to speak against her husband. A policeman said two dozen JWs turned up at the court hearing to provide the abuser with good character references. After Paul Berry was sentenced, the JWs said that they did not believe the children, the judge, the jury, or the system of justice. The policeman, Detective Sergeant Jack Zeller from the New Hampshire Police Dept said:

"Paul Berry had already been found guilty, and they found room in their hearts to stand in front of that child and say, 'We don't believe any of it.' What they were saying was they didn't believe anyone except themselves..." Referring to JW members he said in great anger:  "Shame!  Shame on them!"

In the UK, Sgt. Steve Colley of West Midlands Police referred to a Simon Brady of Birmingham, a Jehovah's Witness who had been severely abused. JW 'elders' had said that unless they could provide two Jehovah's Witnesses who had actually seen the offence, then as far as they were concerned the offence hadn't taken place. Simon Brady said that when he was nine he was sexually abused by someone from their kingdom hall, Mr. Jaswant Patty. JW 'elders' wouldn't believe Simon Brady or his father. Patty was sentenced to five years in jail. Under police pressure the 'elders' at Bethel apologized, and the local 'elders' were demoted, but not sacked. The police contacted the JWs legal team at Bethel and informed them of a lack of co-operation in the police inquiry.

At one of their conventions in Tulsa in the US, Ted Jarrett, a member of their governing body and one of the men responsible for child protection, was asked questions by Betsan Powys of 'Panorama': "Tell me about the databases. How do you justify keeping a list of people, men in some cases, who have confessed to paedophilia, but you have not reported them to the authorities? What justification is there for you to keep that list?" His reply was: "You know, you're from Britain, you have a privacy law. You have a directive from the European Union. You observe that, don't you?" Then she asked him: "So when allegations of abuse are made, it's all right to keep it private?" He replied: "I think you were answered. That question was answered.  It should be to your satisfaction." She then asked: "Could you answer it now?" He said: "I'm not going to repeat it. I'll just tell you exactly that you can go, and you will see it in writing. It's all in print. You know, the Bible says, 'Do not go beyond the things that are written'.  We don't go beyond the things written."

Campaigner Bill Bowen in his summing up said: "They're living in denial; denial of what's happening to their children. And if they accept that, then they accept that there is a problem. So rather than admit there is a problem, they will just let children go on and continue to be molested and not do anything about it."

The exposure of the immoral filth practised within the Jehovah's Witnesses organization is too important ever to be forgotten. Now that it has been made public, international law enforcement agencies should investigate, and force JWs to hand over the records of abuse they hold on their secret database so that sexual abusers of children can be brought to trial. If nothing is done, then congregations of JWs will continue to shelter abusers. Foster carers should be selected to provide a safe environment for victims of abuse and the State should provide some form of deprogramming facilities for them. I appeal to God, and to compassionate readers of this article, to  please help. These are not sufferings The Christ meant for children who "come to me".

The apostle Paul's letter to Timothy makes it abundantly clear that an elder must know how to preside over his own household. (1 Tim 3:2-7). An accusation of molestation from a family member, or from anyone else, is proof that the man is not presiding over his own household or over a congregation of God in a fine manner. JW member Ted Jarrett, and indeed all JWs must be held accountable for the sexual abuse being suffered by child members of their congregations.

PRIESTS OR POLITICIANS?

Politicians administer the will of the people.

Anointed priests administer the Will of God.

"For the lips of a priest are the ones that should keep knowledge, and the Law is what people should seek from his mouth;  for he is the messenger of Jehovah of armies."  (Mal 2:7).

FOR THE UNENLIGHTENED.
Those who vote for politicians to lead them do so in order that through them their own Godless will is implemented. (Rev 13:4 & 8). Consequently, they refuse to give their allegiance to the Will of God through His anointed priests.  (Rev 5:9,10).

Projecting themselves as governments-in-waiting, opposing political parties try to persuade the people to endorse their campaigns and reject the current political administration. Political parties do this to divert attention away from the obligation of mankind to serve the Will of the Supreme Authority, Almighty God. By warring against the Spirit authority of anointed underpriests of God (the future members of His heavenly government), enemies of God acquire the political "mark" of satan's reign ("666"-years) as those who refuse to be created in the spirit "image" and "likeness" of Almighty God and his Son The Christ Michael.  (Rev 13:7 & 16-18)  (Gen 1:26).

OTHER ENEMIES OF GOD.
Those who do not have an anointing from God but as "stumbling blocks" masquerade as priests today, are part of sectarian "Babylon the Great, the mother of the harlots and of the disgusting things of the earth."  (Matt 18:7.  Rev 17:5). With the political "wild beast" as a vehicle for their demonic activities, they suppress the Spirit communications of anointed underpriests of God by promoting apostate teachings and examples     twisting the true meaning of the written Word of God and obstructing spirit readjustments by individuals and communities that accord with His Will.  (Matt 23:13-15).

But neither the supporters of the political "wild beast" or members of the sectarian "harlot" could have achieved such success against the Kingdom developments of God and His underpriests on earth unless "the dragon (satan) gave to the beast its power and its throne and great authority." (Rev 13:2). Consequently, those with the "mark" are satan's subjects, solely promoting political alternatives.  (See Page 29/9/86)  (See Mal 2:7 9)  (Rev 17:1 18 & 18:24).

The sufferings of mankind are caused by their demonically-inspired activities in defiance of the Spirit Will of Almighty God, clearly evident in countries clamouring for demoncratic government that is ultimately destined for destruction.  (Rev 19:20).  So what can be said of those who yearn to live under the Kingdom Rule of God and refuse to receive the "mark" of destruction of the "wild beast", the "false prophet", and sectarian "Babylon"?

This:  Let those who obey the Will of God do so by deeds of faith, while those
         obeying the will of satan suffer condemnation by the Judgement of God.

19/2/90.
 

THE HARLOT(S).

"For the time will come when they will not stand wholesome teaching, but will follow their   own fancy and gather a crowd of teachers to tickle their ears…"  (From 2 Timothy 4:3,4 NEB).
"And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and was adorned with gold and precious stone and pearls and had in her hand a golden cup that was full of disgusting things and the unclean things of her fornication. And  upon her forehead was written a name, a mystery: "Babylon the Great, the mother of the harlots and of the disgusting things of the earth.""  (Rev 17:4,5).	"And he says to me: "The waters that you saw, where the harlot is sitting, mean peoples and crowds and nations and tongues. And the ten horns that you saw, and the wild beast, these will hate the harlot and will make her devastated and naked, and will eat up her fleshy parts and will completely burn her with fire.""  (Rev 17:15,16).

29/9/86.
 

THE "FALSE PROPHET".  (Rev 16:13,14).

A SINGULAR OR COMPOSITE CREATURE?  (OF ONE OR MANY PARTS?)
Our Lord The Christ Michael foretold that this 'prophet' would mislead people who have the "mark" of the "wild beast" and who render worship to its "image". (19:20). And, like the "dragon" satan and the political "wild beast" upon whom satan confers his authority, would utter unclean expressions inspired of demons.  (13:4)  (16:13,14).

Demonically inspired expressions issue through the mouths of many individuals, from more than just the three 'creatures' described. They are active in every nation, and "go forth to the kings of the entire inhabited earth, to gather them together to the war of the great day of God the Almighty." (16:14). According to their response to demonic expressions, people are being gathered by their rebellious spirit aspect before God to the symbolic "place" called Har Ma.ged'on. (16:16). The "false prophet" inspires prominent individuals to find cunning ways by which mankind may express their evil spirit aspect before God, propagating and promoting these ways (like "frog" spawn) throughout the world. Examples of this are the various aid agencies and fundraising schemes employed to acquire resources of the nations. They do this in contravention of judicial decisions of God. A case in point is the decision of God to sacrifice Egypt, Ethiopia and surrounding lands as a ransom for spiritual sons of "Jacob", redeeming them from among the nations. (Joel 3:1-3.  Isaiah 43:3.  66:20.  61:6). However, in the future the resources of the nations will be administered by the heavenly priesthood and ministers of our God, not by rebellious sons of satan.  (Isaiah 60:11,12).

Although millions of people have involved themselves in various world aid programmes, as an idol and a "false prophet" Geldof is prominent among them. But he is merely one of a large number of practising idols (false gods of the people) being used by satan and his demons to gather world leaders and their people to the war at Har  Ma.ged'on.  (16:14,16).

"LEND YOUR AID AND COME".  (Joel 3:11).
Unclean demonic expressions recently promoted by sport and pop idols were given the names 'Sport Aid', 'Band Aid' and 'Live Aid'. At the behest of the "false prophet" millions of people around the world with the "mark" of the "wild beast" gathered and actively participated in 'Sport Aid', declaring before God: 'We Ran The World'.

 

"Lend your aid and come, all you nations round about, and collect yourselves together. To that place, O Jehovah, bring your powerful ones down. Let the nations be aroused and come up to the low plain of Jehoshaphat; for there I shall sit in order to judge all the nations round about... Crowds, crowds are in the low plain of the decision, for the day of Jehovah is near in the low plain of the decision."  (From Joel 3:11-14).

"And I saw three unclean inspired expressions that looked like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the wild beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet. They are, in fact, expressions inspired by demons and perform signs, and they go forth to the kings of the entire inhabited earth, to gather them together to the war of the great day of God The Almighty."  (Rev 16:13,14).

MICHAEL WILL "RAISE THE LOW
 AND  BRING  DOWN  THE  HIGH."

Jehovah has promised: "All is changed; raise the low and bring down the high.  Ruin! Ruin!  I will bring about such ruin as never was before, until the rightful sovereign comes. Then I will give him all."  (Ezek 21:26,27 NEB).

The spirit disposition of Michael the Son of God will bring the exalted ones of this world's spiritual "darkness" down to a low state, while exalting the spirits of lowly ones. (Isaiah 60:1-3). Because of the excessive sinning of the people inhabiting the land of Israel* their ruin was foretold, and this is how it has been for them until now. (Ezek 22:1  12 NEB). But when our Lord Michael stands up in authority, there will begin "a time of distress such as has never been since they became a nation* till that moment." (Dan 12:1 NEB.  Zech 12:10-14). This "distress" will then extend over the whole earth as the Spirit of the Lord's Judgement arrives to test the spirits  of  mankind during the "hour of test". (Isaiah 66:15,16 NEB.  Rev 3:10). When our Lord Michael the "rightful sovereign" arrives, brutal men of the "sons of Ammon" (Islamic enemies of Israel) will not escape the Judgement and punishment of Almighty God. Of them it is written: "I will hand you over to brutal men, skilled in destruction. You shall become fuel for fire, your blood shall be shed within the land and you shall leave no memory behind. For I, the LORD, have spoken."  (21:28 32 NEB)

ISRAELIS USE "THEIR POWER TO SHED BLOOD".  (Ezek 22:6,7 NEB)
Jehovah has said: "In you the princes of Israel, one and all, have used their power to shed blood".  (22:6 NEB). Israel's political and military leaders today use their power in exactly the same manner as those of the  past: To shed blood. Wherever they have been scattered throughout the world, the indignation of our Lord has permitted those nations to taunt the Jewish people with their infamy and gross disorder. Because of their excessive  sinning, Jehovah through our Lord Michael will bring low these "princes of Israel".  (22:1-31)  (2 Esdras 13:25  27 NEB).

As to Michael raising the "low" ones, it means he will exalt the spirits of faithful lowly ones of God worldwide. Michael will bring down the "high" ones throughout the world by shaming and humiliating their exalted rebel spirits. In contrast to the evil power and rebellion of the political leaders of literal Israel, the lowly anointed sons of spiritual "Israel" will soon be exalted to heaven. With their God-given holy power restored, they will inherit life-giving spiritual responsibilities from Michael. (Rev 5:9,10). The "dashing of the power of the holy people to pieces" during the "2,300 evening and mornings", when remaining anointed sons of God on earth were ostracized, "trampled" on and excommunicated from Christ's congregations, has already been brought to a finish. (Dan 8:8-14.  Rev 11:1-3)  (Dan 12:7). The waning of the evil spirit power of the "high" ones, and the ascendancy of the Spirit power of God, will cause the world great distress. Many will be destroyed and shall become an eternal abhorrence. But faithful anointed sons of God, who "guided the people in the true path", have accurate knowledge of the life giving Spirit Will of God, and will radiate this Spirit knowledge from heaven to the "great crowd" on earth.  (Dan 12:1-3 NEB)  (Rev 21:1  4 & 7:9,10).

THE LAST INDICATOR BEFORE THE WRATH OF GOD IS POURED OUT.
As prophesied, Israeli settlers in the "land of open rural country" are currently under attack. (Ezek 38:8-16). Almighty God is beginning to bring Gog and his crowd against prospective members of His spiritual "land", "that the nations may know Me, when they see Me prove My holiness at your expense, O Gog."  (Ezek 38:16B NEB). The unchanged rebellious dispositions of Israelis are listed in Ezekiel 22:1-12.  We wait to see how Almighty God will prove His holiness among them at Gog's expense.

"THE LOST OUTNUMBER THE SAVED AS A WAVE 
 EXCEEDS A DROP OF WATER." (2 Esdras 9:14 NEB).

"The angel replied: 'The seed to be sown depends on the soil, the colour on the flower, the product on the workman, and the harvest on the farmer. There was once a time before the world had been created for men to dwell in;  at that time I was planning it for the sake of those who now exist. No one then disputed My plan, for no one existed. I  supplied this world with unfailing food and a mysterious Law; but those whom I created turned to a life of corruption. I looked at My world, and there it lay spoilt, at My earth in danger from men's wicked thoughts; and at the sight I could scarcely bring Myself to spare them. One grape I saved out of a cluster, one tree out of a forest. So then let it be: destruction for the many who were born in vain, and  salvation for My grape and My tree, which have cost Me such labour to bring to perfection."  (2 Esdras 9:17  22 NEB).

"In the last days, then, the inhabitants of the world will be punished for their arrogant lives by bitter sufferings. But you, Ezra, should direct your thoughts to yourself and the glory awaiting those like you. For  all of you, paradise lies open, the tree of life is planted, the age to come is made ready, and rich abundance is in store; the city is already built, rest from toil is assured, goodness and wisdom are brought to perfection. The root of evil has been sealed off from you; for you there is no more illness, death is abolished, hell has fled, and decay is quite forgotten. All sorrows are at an end, and the treasure of immortality has been finally revealed. Ask no more questions, therefore, about the many who are lost. For they were given freedom and used it to despise the Most High, to treat His Law with contempt and abandon His ways. Yes, and they trampled on His just servants; they said to themselves, "There is no God", though well aware that they must die. Yours, then, will be the joys I have predicted; theirs the thirst and torments which are prepared. It is not that the Most High has wanted any man to be lost, but that those He created have themselves brought dishonour on their Creator's Name, and shown ingratitude to the One who had put life within their reach. My day of Judgement is now close at hand, but I have not made this known to all;  only to you and a few like you.'"  (2 Esdras 8:50-62 NEB).

"Just as everything that is done on earth has its beginning and end clearly marked, so it is with the times which the Most High has determined: their beginning is marked by portents and miracles, their end by manifestations of power. 'Whoever comes safely through and escapes destruction, thanks to his good deeds or the faith he has shown, will survive all the dangers I have foretold and witness the salvation that I shall bring to My land, the country I have marked out from all eternity as My own. Then those who have misused My Law will be taken by surprise; their contempt for it will bring them continual torment. All who in their lifetime failed to acknowledge Me in spite of all the good things I had given them, all who disdained My Law while freedom still was theirs, who scornfully dismissed the thought of penitence while the way was still open     all  these will have to learn the truth through torments after death. Do not be curious any more, Ezra, to know how the Godless will be tormented, but only how and  when the just will be saved; the world is theirs and it exists for their sake.'"  (2 Esdras 9:5-13 NEB).

It is of paramount importance that mankind learn the truth of their obligations to the Most High and carry them out now, rather than wait and learn the truth through torments after death!  (9:12 NEB).

MANIFESTATIONS OF THE POWER OF THE MOST HIGH.
One of the "manifestations of power" during the "last days" was the destructive earthquake in the Indian Ocean on 26th December 2004 in which 230,000 people were killed by the resulting tsunami that swept the coastlands of Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, and Thailand. This was the Judgement of God upon those worshipping the images of demon false gods. Tourists who died there shared in the retribution of God for having attended  a  place where they knew the indigenous population worshipped false gods.  (2 Esdras 9:6 NEB)  (Exodus 20:3  6 NEB).

In fulfilment of Revelation 11:13, a tenth of the city was destroyed and 7,000 men were killed in the earthquake in Mexico City in 1985. Another manifestation of the power of the Most High has been the war and ongoing desolation of Babylon/Iraq, where over 100,000 people have  been killed so far. We now await the imminent Rule of God when all those who "destroy the earth" shall themselves be destroyed.  (Rev 11:18 NEB).
