"BUT IN THE DAYS OF THE SOUNDING^ê OF
THE SEVENTH ANGEL, WHEN HE IS ABOUT TO
BLOW HIS TRUMPET". (From Revelation 10:7).

After all of The Christ's teachings have been revealed, many of which had previously been made known to his approved anointed brothers ("the whole house of Israel"), it is now being said: "blow upon these killed people, that they may come to life." (Ezek 37:9).

"And I saw, and, look! upon them sinews themselves and flesh itself came up and skin began to be overlaid upon them above. But as regards breath, there was none in them." (Ezek 37:8). The power to accurately communicate Christ's spiritual teachings to hearing ears is to be given breath again by God, through those who previously were His spiritually "killed" people. Until now, the whole house of spiritual "Israel" has been in a condition likened to dead persons without a VOICE^ê. (Isaiah 29:4 NEB). In effect, they were buried out of sight, but are now about to come to life again (their voice). Why, and for what reason? Verse 23 gives the answer: "And they will no longer defile themselves with their dungy idols and with their disgusting things and with all their transgressions; and I shall certainly save them from all their dwelling places" (the "death"-like state caused by "acts of lawlessness" and "apostasies" within the spiritual "land" of "Israel").

The "Little Scroll" contains denunciations of God against this apostasy and spirit of uncleanness. In verse 28 it says: "And the nations will have to know that I, Jehovah, am sanctifying Israel when My sanctuary comes to be in the midst of them to time indefinite." So first, new spirit life for the purpose of cleansing the "land" of spiritual "Israel", then God says He will "sanctify Myself in you before their eyes, O gog", followed by a burying of those that God symbolically calls "O gog" (the liars and their "dungy idols") out from the "land". (Ezek 38:16. 39:11-13) (See Page 824E).

"FOR THE PURPOSE OF CLEANSING
THE LAND, FOR SEVEN MONTHS." (Ezekiel 39:12).
"So no more shall be heard of that great horde, and the land will be purified." (Ezek 39:16 NEB); or "be heard" verbally or in any of their written work. Seven months is a short and definite period. The reason for this is a sign of there being no more delay or time left for the spiritual "cleansing" of the whole "land" of "Israel" before "the kingdom of the world did become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and he will rule as King forever and ever". (Rev 11:15). Servants within the "land" of "Israel" with the spirit of Elijah will be used to prepare for His coming. But only seven months has been authorized for voicing ("sounding") this "cleansing" of the whole "land" of "Israel", and the identification and burial thereafter of gog's horde out from "Israel". Then the angel "blew his trumpet" (Rev 11:15). The nations will become wrathful and their appointed time to be judged will have arrived. (Rev 11:18).

FOR NOW THE TIME IS RIPE FOR "UNITY IN CHRIST" (Eph 1:10 NEB).
"AT THE FULL LIMIT OF THE APPOINTED TIMES" (Eph 1:10 NWT).
That "all in heaven and on earth, might be brought into a unity in Christ" (NEB) indicates that people not gathered in unity with Christ will demonstrate their rebellious disposition, namely, their wrath. (Rev 11:18). But our main concern is the cleansing of the spiritual "land" of "Israel" by The Christ's administration before his coming. Only spiritually qualified sons of approved anointed members of spiritual Mount Zion may carry out this spiritual "cleansing" work. During the seven months, one tenth of the "City" will fall. (Rev 11:13).

All literature that conflicts with the Holy Scriptures is to be destroyed. A record of the names and addresses of the sons of Zion are to be kept. A copy of the "Little Scroll" must first be issued to every son of Zion with "no delay any longer" (Rev 10:6), before the rest of the nations receive their copy. Then the "hidden purpose of God will have been fulfilled". (Rev 10:7 NEB). For a tenth of the "City" there will be bitter news through the refining work of the "Little Scroll". (Rev 11:13).
