"WHAT SORT OF DAY "TO BE DUG THROUGH
THE HOUSE OF HIM". The intention and purpose of our Lord's "thief"-like coming is to remove all things that cause stumbling; whether these sins are the wickedness of others, or are solely from within oneself. They are all unacceptable dispositions concerning the coming Kingdom of our Lord. (See Pages: 27/4/87, 30/4/87, 29/7/90, 16/8/90, 13/9/90, 29/11/91, 8/12/91). During the period of the coming of our Lord, individuals being spiritually corrected are "taken along", while those who would refuse correction are "abandoned". (24:40,41). Through the unpredictable coming of the "thief", what is abandoned in them is any future opportunity for life in the Kingdom of our Lord through the exercise of true faith in him. The "householder" represents heads of families. The arrival of the "sort of day" and "sort of watch" will be identified by those who are spiritually awake and who listen to corrective spiritual warnings from faithful anointed "watchmen" of God regarding causes for stumbling of their faith. These "watchmen" expose errors that cause stumbling in order to prevent their "household" being broken into and robbed of their lives. So this prophecy from our Lord is with regard to faithful ones being "taken along" but whose spirit dispositions may be being stumbled. After the removal of apostate "stumbling blocks" created by members of the "evil slave" who through jealousy did "beat" the "least ones" of Jesus' anointed brothers (their "fellow slaves") by introducing a spirit of uncleanness and appointing unsealed elders in place of the "least ones" to ostracize and excommunicate them, this "evil slave" and their "disgusting thing" of unsealed elders will not be given further opportunity to be saved by means of spirit corrections issued through this "discreet slave" class of God during the "watch" before the arrival of the Son of Man. (Matt 24:48-51. 24:15. 24:45-47. 25:41-46) Further opportunity to be saved will also be denied to sectarian hypocrites and Godless unbelievers, for they too do not fulfil the spiritual requirements of entry into the Kingdom of God. All sectarian religions using the Lord's name are scripturally referred to as "harlots" because they are sustained by "women loaded down with sins, led by various desires, always learning and yet never able to come to an accurate knowledge of truth", and by unsealed men who "slyly work their way into (such) households". (2 Tim 3:6,7). That is why through Micah it was said: "O you woman enemy of mine" (Micah 7:8), and in Ecclesiasticus 42:14 it is written: "Better a man's wickedness than a woman's goodness; it is woman who brings shame and disgrace." (NEB). 21/8/92. |
