(Cont. from Page 864A). 864B. Therefore, an official agent of the State and/or government(s) of this world, of its polity, its order and policies, is one employed within its process and is called a bureaucrat or civil servant. Bureaucrats carry out man's will, through their governments. They include officials of warfare, industrial economists, foreign affairs, agriculture, food and labour distribution, communications etc. However, they are not the superior authorities of God. (Rom 13:1-8). True servants of God who have come out of this world (1 John 2:15-17), of its will, serve Him by supporting the principles of the Will of God and His incoming Government. It is not without effect that it is written: "It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to Him alone you must render sacred service." (Matt 4:10). Jesus also said: "No one can slave for two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will stick to the one and despise the other. You cannot slave for God and for Riches." (Matt 6:24). This means, that by refusing to support governments of this world you will be without worldly material riches. Those who help to prolong the kingdoms of this world (their riches) are their friends and are enemies of God. (James 4:4). But to sons of God it is written: "My son, fear Jehovah and the king. With those who are for a change (away from their allegiance to God and Jesus the king), do not intermeddle. For their disaster will arise so suddenly, that who is aware of the extinction of those who are for a change?" (Prov 24:21,22). SOME IDENTITIES OF THEIR CHANGES. Promotion of the "image" of the "wild beast" and its authority is mainly through economic stability brought about by its slaves, among whom are those that have made "a change" away from being true servants of God. Worship of the "image" of the wild beast (in likeness to the beast-like kingdoms of past ages) demonstrates the wild unrestrained will of people with the "mark" today. Such rulerships are opposed to the requirements of the Will of God who created man to function according to His creating. Consequently, we have living proof of hard times, famines, wars, suicides, and a mass of dead people as a result of God not answering them. (Prov 1:27-33). For example: The extermination of over 6,000,000 natural born Jews during World War II would not have taken place if God was "caring for them". (Heb 8:7-9). But: "Everyone that denies the Son (Jesus Christ) does not have the Father either. He that confesses the Son has the Father also." (1 John 2:23. 2 John V.7). THE "FALSE PROPHET". (Rev 16:13.14. 19:20). (Cont. on Page 864C). 22/11/79. |
