EVENTS THAT TOOK PLACE
DURING "THAT TIME".

By the events that took place in The Christ's congregations "in the days of the sounding of the seventh trumpet" relating to the fulfilment of the symbolic "seven thunders", the Lord came as a thief to the apostates in the spiritual "land" of God. (Rev 16:15). He did so during "that time" (Rev 10:6 Greek T).

(1) During "that time" apostate enemies of the "two witnesses" of God were cast out during the prophesied "forty-two months". The "two witnesses" are The Christ Michael in heaven and his faithful anointed brothers on earth, the "temple" of God. Their enemies are the apostates occupying the spiritual "courtyard" adjacent to the "temple". JW apostates "trampled" upon anointed brothers of The Christ and so were not measured within the spiritual boundaries of God. (Rev 11:1-3 NEB).

(2) During "that time" the apostate "disgusting thing" removed faithful anointed sons of God from The Christ's congregations and left them in a spiritually inactive state to be warred upon and killed by the "wild beast" in "Sodom and Egypt". (11:7-9).

(3) During "that time" those with the political "mark" of the "wild beast" sharing in the work of waging war upon and spiritually killing the activities of The Christ's brothers on earth were also not "measured in". (11:7 NEB).

(4) During "that time" apostates in JW congregations rejoiced and sent "gifts" of authority to one another, recommending each other as 'elders'. Through this means they disposed of The Christ's spirit disciplines meant for them, regarding such disciplines from anointed brothers of The Christ as torments. (11:10).

(5) During "that time" faithful anointed members of the heavenly "woman" fled into a "wilderness" condition to receive spiritual instruction from God to remove the spirit of uncleanness from His spiritual "land". The spirit corrective "Little Scroll" from God are His instructions. (12:6,14).

(6) During "that time" the "serpent" satan disgorged a "flood" of distresses to sweep away anointed members of the heavenly "woman" of God. But welfare systems of the State came to their rescue to swallow up this attempt. (12:15,16 NEB).

(7) During "that time" faithful anointed sons of God were told to "Come on up here" and received spiritual knowledge through visions and dreams by the Holy Spirit of God. Their apostate enemies beheld this in the heavenly denunciations they received from these anointed ones. (11:11,12).

(8) During "that time" a great earthquake occurred in Mexico City killing 7,000 names of men. It signalled that a tenth of those claiming to be of the Holy City of God but who fell away had been killed in a spiritual "earthquake" in the spiritual "land" of God for their apostasy. (11:13).
