WHY JUDGED AS TO THE "LEAST ONES"?
For the reason that God inhabits these
"least" ones of the Christ's "body" members with His Spirit, thereby sanctifying
them. This means that a progressive spirit cleansing takes place within them
while they are alive in the flesh on earth. In the early part of their
development, they are "least" as to their relative spiritual growth among their
brothers. Putting on a mind like Christ as heirs of the heavenly Kingdom, they
promote true worship of God and the "good news" about our Lord Jesus, and teach,
reprove, and discipline in righteousness. Therefore, evidence of one's
righteous deeds towards these "least" ones, and not merely lip service, is a
declaration of one's heart condition before God and His Son. (1 Cor 2:16.
Eph 2:19-22. 1 John 3:18). Those refusing to devote their energies to assist one
or any of these "least" ones of Jesus' brothers, according to their needs, are
not promoting the Kingdom of God, nor do they desire it to the extent that they
are willing to share with them in the persecutions they suffer. By their refusal
to take up this work alongside the "least ones", they are establishing
themselves as "goats"; whether they are baptised "goats" or just "goats" without
a baptism.
THE LANGUAGE OF "GOAT"-LIKE
PERSONS CALLING HIM 'LORD'.
"The heart is more treacherous than anything
else and is desperate. Who can know it? I, Jehovah, am searching the heart,
examining the kidneys, even to give to each one according to his ways, according
to the fruitage of his dealings". (Jer 17:9,10). This unspoken language is by
deeds, and is in this way conveyed to others and observed by Jehovah and His Son
through one's dealings. What follows are some of the known 'fruitages' of the
dealings of "goat"-like ones, albeit deceiving themselves, but appearing to
others quite different in word. But it is Jehovah and His Son who know the true
motives behind the dealings of everyone. In the book of Malachi is described
the robbing of Jehovah and the polluting of His "bread". One must be
acquainted with the law given to Moses as respects the "tenth parts" and the
"contributions" and the events that occurred during the time of Elijah the
prophet, in order to understand why Jehovah is now conveying the correct
understanding of this teaching. The robbing is being done today by former
'priests' within spiritual "Israel", against their anointed brothers that are
the "tenth parts" not being used with their "contributions" of God's Spirit for
the congregations. ("Tenth parts": the complete number with His Spirit
instructions). Falsely teaching parts of God's Holy Word is the polluting of His
"bread". (See Pages 813, 814 and 815 on Malachi).
"Goats" claiming to be anointed ones today are preventing many anointed brothers
from providing their "contributions" (their due measure), and are therefore
holding back Jehovah's blessings. They have instead replaced them with
"Ahab"-type authority-seeking 'overseers': Unsealed men. (Rev 3:9. See
Pages 822 and
823). They have also promoted the
"daughters" of the "Jezebel"‑type
"prophetess" who claim the right to teach and do so (Rev 2:20), and as being
"prophetesses" by saying they are such. They use their erroneous mistranslation
of Revelation 19:10b to give them their so-called authority, but which the
following scriptures denounce:
(1 Timothy 2:11,12. 1
Corinthians 14:34,35. Ephesians 5:22-24).
They are promoting, not God's Kingdom, but the
kingdom of this world. In fulfilment, "Ahabs" of today are unable to gain
possession of the heavenly inheritance of the "vine", just as the first Ahab
could not gain title over Naboth's inheritance. (See 1 Kings Ch.21). So they try
to acquire authority over this "land" by "killing" its heirs; by usurping the
authority of spiritual "Jews" in the congregations, robbing themselves of
Jehovah's Spirit and blessings.
