IN REBUTTAL OF THE FALSE PROPHECY OF F. W. FRANZ
WHO AMONG JWs DECLARED 'THE PRINCES ARE HERE!'
(See Zechariah 13:4-6 and 1975 JW Yearbook pg. 213 & 214).

PSALM 45:


 

Verses (1) to (7)

(13)      The king's+ daughter is all glorious
            within [the house];
            Her clothing is with settings of gold.

(14)      In woven apparel she will be brought
            to the king.

            The virgins in her train as her
            companions are being brought in to you.





 

(15)      They will be brought with rejoicing
            and joyfulness; They will enter into
            the palace of the king.

 





 

(16)      In place of your forefathers
            there will come to be your sons,
 

            Whom you will appoint*
            as princes in all the earth.

EXPLANATION:

MAS'KIL      Sing with discernment, having
                        knowledge of its meaning.

             Concerning a king, Christ Jesus.

(13)     This King+ is Jehovah Himself.
            The "daughter" of God is the "bride" of
            Christ: 144,000 anointed ones. (Rev 21:9).

(14)      "She" and "her" is the "bride" of Christ.
 

            The virgin "companions" at the marriage of the "bride" are as an undefiled escort. They are all the members of the "great crowd". (Rev 7:9,10) (John 10:16. Zech 8:23). The exceptions are those among them that are the male offspring of anointed ones. These are not of the "companion" class, as the "companions" do not have anointed fathers.

(15)      "They" are the "bride" and
              her virgin "companions".
 

            "…an indefinitely lasting covenant I shall conclude toward them. And their offspring will actually be known even among the nations, and their descendants in among the peoples. All those seeing them will recognize them, that they are  the  offspring whom Jehovah has blessed."  (From Isaiah 61:8,9).

(16)      "Your" is Christ Jesus. "In place of" the forefathers of Jesus that lived before Christ was born on earth, there will come to be his earthly spiritual "sons".

            "Whom you will appoint"*: Christ himself will appoint spiritual princes on earth, "sons" of Christ and his "bride" class wife (of their marriage), which will occur after the resurrection of his "bride" class.

The princes will be the fruitage of this marriage. Her "sons" are not all of the "great crowd" of "companions". Therefore, the princes can only be those appointed from the "fruitage" (Matt 7:17,18) of approved anointed ones; their sons in a fleshly and spiritual sense, who will reside on earth. They are the offspring of the priests of Jehovah described in Isaiah 61:5-9.
