818. YOU CONTINUE CARING FOR THE OUTSIDE OF THE Those who have said they are "Jews" but are lying, teach a veiling of holy truths and are of the synagogue of satan. Their actions are mainly against the "least" of Jesus' anointed brothers, especially against the 'eleventh hour' ones -- the last anointed ones gathered, that have worked only a short time in the "vineyard". Those who say they are "Jews" but are lying, work deliberately to diminish those who have Jehovah's Spirit. To do this work of deceiving, especially within Jesus' congregations, they exercise great cunning and such severe treatments as mock humility. (Col 2:23). And in order to remain in a position where they can persecute Jesus' brothers, they present themselves before others as having an appearance of righteousness. To be effective, they require an accepted authority, with 'head' knowledge of God's Word, and the backing from others of their own kind. This, satan provided. Without Jehovah's scriptural authority as to "fitness" to do so, they began creating their own subordinate 'elders' over the "other sheep" (acting as the "foreign god"). Ultimately, they "trampled" upon and usurped the God-given authority of anointed ones. (Eph 4:12). Further, by murmurings and ignoring the exhortations of these anointed ones, they 'shoved' them to the outside of their congregations. (1 Cor 12:25. Ezek Ch.34. Rev 3:9). All members of the "other sheep" that willingly become 'elders' (without being anointed to do so) are agents of satan, supporting those initially linked to their new unauthorised arrangement. (2 John V.9). Jehovah will have replaced many of the first hired ones because of their proven jealousy and envy of His Sons of the Kingdom. Moreover, their treatment of these 'eleventh hour' ones was in similar fashion to the way unsealed 'elders' have "trampled" on them. (See Matthew 20:1-16 and Pages 786 & 787). The sect of JWs have publicly reported that over 10,000 Spirit anointed Christians are alive on earth today, and there are just over 40,000 JW congregations. Hypothetically, if only half of those recorded as anointed ones did serve as congregation overseers, it would mean they would each be responsible for eight congregations. Indeed, during this "time of the end" our Lord Jesus would not leave his congregations with insufficient shepherds of the "temple" class. He is certainly aware of the period when the activities of the "man of lawlessness" would come to full fruition and be finally revealed. The outcome for Jehovah's people because His priests have been robbing Him in the "tenth parts" and in the "contributions" is: (1) Women teach and exercise authority over men (a "ruined one" sacrificed to Jehovah).(Mal 1:14. 1 Tim 2:11-15). (2) Taking a "foreign god as a bride". (Mal 2:10,11. 1 Kings 19:2). Meaning: Unfaithful anointed ones worshipping the authority and teachings of unsealed 'elders', thereby dealing treacherously in refusing portions of Jehovah's Spirit channelled through anointed brothers (Mal 3:9,10. Rev 14:4), and placing the nation in its entirety in the burdensome position of having to correct all these things(3) The so-called authority given to unsealed men has to be revealed and removed in order to make way for God's Spirit through His anointed "temple" servants for the congregations. They are the only ones with His "tenth parts" and "contributions". (See Rev 9:4).As it is written, priests that have promoted the foregoing rebellion have been robbing Jehovah, the nation and its entirety. Let Jehovah rebuke the devouring one. Bring all the "tenth parts" into the storehouse and become a land of delight. (Mal 3:10). 17/7/77. |
