FOR ALL WHO SEEK THE LAWS OF GOD
UNDER HIS ADMINISTRATION.

"For the lips of a priest are the ones that should keep knowledge, and the law is what people should seek from his mouth; for he is the messenger of Jehovah of armies." (Malachi 2:7).

AND THOSE WHO SEEK THE MOUTH OF A PRIEST PRIVATELY.
To know what kind of people should seek the law from anointed overseers (underpriests) today, and how, the following scriptures and remarks are as a guide for our benefit. James 1:19 counsels: "Every man must be swift about hearing, slow about speaking, slow about wrath". And when combined with, "shun empty speeches that violate what is holy" (2 Tim 2:16), the seriousness is made clear. The "good news" of The Christ, that is, the benefits of being gathered to God as "vessels" of His mercy through our exercise of faith in Him and the ransom sacrifice of His Firstborn Son, has been brought to a finish. (Rev 10:7). These "vessels" of His mercy are being sanctified under an acceptable oath to God. Only fathers and husbands are permitted to seek spiritual knowledge from anointed underpriests (Eph 5:23-33. 6:4) (fathers being the begetters of children not so-called 'holy fathers').

By receiving the confessions of sinners and appearing to issue 'forgiveness', men calling themselves 'holy fathers' are raising themselves above our Heavenly Father Almighty God and are vessels of His wrath. Seeking absolution of one's sins by confessing them to another human, instead of to God through the ransom sacrifice of His Son, is an abhorrence before God and is adding sin to sin. (Rev 18:4,5). One should be seeking to soften the face of Jehovah and be corrected by Him through His spiritual laws. (Mal 1:9-14). One must not act as an anointed overseer without the Spirit knowledge that one has been given such an authority from God to serve in this capacity. (1 John 2:27. 1 Peter 2:4-10) (Zech 8:23. 2 Cor 4:6). Since 33CE, Almighty God has provided 144,000 anointed sons to be born among all nations, tribes and tongues throughout each generation for this purpose. (Rev 7:3. 10:11). They are to be "an administration (of unity) at the full limit of the appointed times, namely, to gather all things together in the Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth. Yes, in him." (From Eph 1:8-14). In accordance with the Will of God, women are not permitted to seek the law from an anointed overseer directly. However, widows and orphans must be cared for. (1 Tim 5:3-10. James 1:27. 1 Cor 9:5. 14:35).

Because of the seriousness of the administration of God's laws to the inhabitants of His spiritual "land", it is important that a record should be kept of those making enquiries, and those answering them, for benefit. For God is a God, not of disorder, but of peace. (1 Cor 14:33). Meditation on a matter, along with one's prayers, should be offered at the "altar" of God before one makes a relevant spiritual enquiry. (Phil 4:4-7. 2 Cor 1:11).

As to this time of writing, there exist "certain men" (Jude V.4) who have people "sworn with oaths to them" (Ezek 21:23,24), and with the spirit of divination have taught transgression whose dealings God requires "uncovered" publicly and "called to remembrance". (Ezek Ch.21. See Page 666Q as an example). It is written: "The one walking about as a slanderer is uncovering confidential talk, but the one faithful in spirit is covering over a matter." (Prov 11:13. 25:9). But sinning against the congregation of God is not a confidential matter to be covered over. How much less so, when the sin is deliberately committed against Jehovah Himself?

"FULLNESS (OR END) OF THE APPOINTED TIMES".
"House administration of the fullness of the appointed times". (Eph 1:10 Greek T.).
"...order it in the fullness of the ages that all things in heaven and earth alike should be gathered up in Christ". (Eph 1:10 Moffatt) (See Page 858 for "appointed times").
