WILL YOU EXPERIENCE THE COMING
DEATH OF YOUR FIRSTBORN SON?

ARE YOU TO RECEIVE "THE SPIRIT OF YEARNING
AND ENTREATY" AND BITTER GRIEF?

It is a relief to know that this spirit will not include families that have not come against spiritual "Jerusalem". David's house is of earthly Jerusalem and will receive this spirit of grief. How will this be so? This "Jerusalem" are heavenly "Jerusalem", whom the Jews do not acknowledge. Nor do they acknowledge the past coming on earth of The Christ in the flesh as God's Firstborn Son, or the sayings of his spirit. Do you? And so they did not grieve over him as an only Son of God at that time, and are still waiting for him. So they are included in, and will receive, the fulfilment of this spirit of bitter grief. Will you? (Heavenly "Jerusalem": See Hebrews 12:22-29).

An interesting point emerges. In the book of Malachi it conveys that Jehovah will devote to destruction all who do not acknowledge those today that have Elijah's spirit and power. John the Baptist prepared people spiritually for the coming of Christ on earth, through their repentance. But the majority of the Jews did not recognise John the Baptist's work as preparing the way for Christ. But after John's death Elijah and Moses appeared in transfiguration with Christ^●, indicating a future work similar to what the prophet Elijah had done. Therefore, anointed servants with Elijah's spirit and power are as ambassadors substituting for Christ^t, and are the "least" of his brothers engaged in the work of turning "the heart of fathers back toward sons, and the heart of sons back toward fathers" (to "reconcile" them. Moffatt), "before the coming of the great and fear‑inspiring day of Jehovah".

"THEY SHALL LOOK AT HIM WHOM THEY STABBED"?
Many people will soon receive this spirit knowledge and even bitter grief, after almost 1,950 years since the death of Christ Jesus; proving that they have the same death-dealing spirit aspect that still puts Christ to death today. The 'second coming' of God's Firstborn Son will not be in the flesh. Along with this realisation, is that his "wheat"-like class have been gathered through spirit knowledge from him since his first coming. This explains why his future coming is in spirit on "clouds of heaven".

"BITTER AS A MAN'S GRIEF FOR A FIRSTBORN CHILD"?
Many among mankind are to receive a spirit of bitter grief as though for a firstborn son, whether they actually procreated a son or not. How? By receiving a spirit from God the Father "in the midst of themselves" likened to grief over the death of a firstborn son, because of losing the love of Jesus The Christ and the meaning of his life and his death; whom God declared as His Firstborn Son. A spirit of grief and bitterness is soon to cause lamentation. "And all the other families who are left, each apart and their wives apart," are Gentiles. (Zech 12:14). This grief will be distinct, not for their own fleshly son(s), but an individual's grief for Jesus Christ, the Son of man, now our Lord Michael.

(Michael: Christ's heavenly name. Meaning: 'Who Is like God?')

"On that day I will set myself to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem, but I will pour out a spirit of yearning and entreaty upon David's house and the dwellers in Jerusalem; they shall look at him whom they stabbed and lament for him bitterly, as a man laments for his only son; bitter shall be their grief for him, as bitter as a man' s grief for his first-born child. On that day the lamenting in Jerusalem shall be as mournful as the lamenting for Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddo; the land shall lament, each family by itself, the family of David's house apart and their wives apart… and all the other families who are left, each apart and their wives apart.
(Zechariah 12:9-14 Moffatt).

"Look! I am sending to you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and fear-inspiring day of Jehovah. And he must turn the heart of fathers back toward sons, and the heart of sons back toward fathers; in order that I may not come and actually strike the earth with a devoting of it to destruction".
(Malachi 4:5,6 NWT. See Luke 1:17).

"And then the sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in lamentation, and they will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory". (Matthew 24:30).

"It is the spirit that is life-giving; the flesh is of no use at all. The sayings that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life". (John 6:63 NWT).
