THE
"WAY OF HOLINESS" (1).
People worldwide are crying out within themselves for a happy existence
for freedom, loving relationships, sufficiency of food and water, good health, adequate shelter
and comfort, and pleasant surroundings. But most of all, they want to feel completely at peace in spirit. But
because the great majority of mankind reject the "The Way" of
The Christ, these things are not realized. Only when nations are living in
harmony with the Spirit of God will these things be achieved.
After generations of scientific achievement, mankind is farther than ever from fulfilling these
basic needs. In some countries, they are unable to maintain a regular supply of
food and water to sustain life. Throughout the world many are malnourished or starving. There are
wars and terrorist attacks killing many thousands. (Matt 24:6-8). Physical,
sexual and verbal abuse is commonplace. There are suicides, even among the young. All this
while the rich get richer and the poor are made poorer still.
JUSTICE and EQUALITY
are treated as dirty words.
The foremost cause of the ills of mankind can be summed up in one word,
DISOBEDIENCE:
Mankind rebelling against the holy way of life laid down for us by a loving Creator and Lifegiver. His simple and well documented way to fulfil the needs of mankind
(but which has almost become a secret) is described in these few simple words:
"Let each one keep seeking, not his own advantage, but that of the other person". (1 Cor 10:24 NWT). This includes
seeking the advantage of other nations. Instead of following this principle, the love of the majority of mankind has progressively grown
cold, and people concern themselves with gaining a selfish advantage over others. (Matt 24:12). But
in relation to acquiring a good and lasting quality of life, merely seeking
one's own advantage has never worked for anyone personally, nationally
or internationally.
A prime example of this, is the nation who failed to become
the special possession of God: The Jews. In consequence of this, Israelis live
in constant fear of reprisals and death at the hands of people they deprive and abuse.
They refuse to integrate with other races and isolate themselves being terrorized as they terrorize others. Because they
defy the spiritual principle of seeking the advantage of others, and disobey many other scriptural directives
given to them by God, they reject Almighty God and "The Way" of The
Christ. (John 14:6). But "The Way" of
The Christ is what leads to the "Way of Holiness":
"And there will certainly come to be a highway there, even a way, and the
Way of Holiness it will be called.
The unclean one will not pass over it. And it will be for the one walking on the way,
and no foolish ones will wander about on it." (Isaiah 35:8 NWT).

As yet, neither Jew nor Gentile is walking on the
"Way of Holiness". Nor will Godless ones
among them be allowed to wander about on it, for they have rejected the spirit readjustments of
"The Way" and so are spiritually unclean
before God.
Thankfully, there is promised to us a holy nation, one gathered from many nations
and includes some from among the Jews. This nation are 144,000
anointed priests of God. (Rev 5:9,10 & 7:4). There is also another
"flock" a
"great crowd" which no one is able to number,
for whom they will administer the "Way of Holiness". (John 10:14-16. Rev 7:9,10).
Throughout the world today, people in their thousands are dying
of A.I.D.S. and other terminal diseases in consequence of malpractice to their own bodies.
Many children are left abandoned. The self perpetuated ills of mankind are rampant among the
despoilers of the life intended by our Creator. But these despoilers will be roused to great anger
when the Sovereign Rule of God begins over mankind and He pours out His wrath
upon them. Among them are the political and religious misleaders of this world held most accountable in the
Judgement of God. (Rev 11:16-18 &
16:17-21).
