(Cont. from Page 843). (Daniel 12:1-13 Cont.) 844. (Daniel 12:1-13 cont.): It says in verse 11: "And from the time", which means after the removal of the "constant feature" (God's Spirit) and the placing of the "disgusting thing" (of man's will opposed to the Will of God) in His congregations. Therefore the 1,290 days would then begin to count. According to written evidence in the 1975 Yearbook of Jehovah's Witnesses (pg. 250), by October 1st 1972 most congregations had been 'adjusted' (through their 'shifting of responsibilities'). These events began satan's removal of individual anointed persons. How? Through the "disgusting thing" (satanic teachings of his "foreign god") from whom came his congregational arrangements. This distinguished faithful ones as to God's Word (approved anointed ones with "insight") from sectarian members. (1 Cor 11:19). By the approximate date of October 1st 1972 (the 1,290 days having run its course) all approved anointed sons of God had been refined (out from among them). Jehovah blesses (Moffatt) and counts as "happy" those enduring faithfully through the following 45 days "in expectation", and arriving still faithful to the Will of God at the end of that period. For evidence of His blessings to date, see Pages 777 to 844 of the spirit refinements of Jehovah through one of His anointed "strongholds". To Daniel it was conveyed that he would be resurrected "at the end of the days" (Moffatt). This means of course, after the days concerning the aforementioned events. It is the wicked ones, especially those who wilfully promote the "foreign god", that will not accept or understand these things "at all". If they did, they would be passing the deserved sentence of death upon themselves. In conclusion: To Jesus it was said, "Every other man puts out the fine wine first, and when people are intoxicated, the inferior. You have reserved the fine wine until now". (John 2:10).
