For the first three and a half years of writing up the "Little Scroll", and in fulfilment of the Revelation to John (Rev 10:8-10), the writer was sent into a spiritual "wilderness" in a "sackcloth" condition. (Rev 11:3. 12:14). This work began with the page numbered 777 and continued through many pages to page number 887. Then pages 666A to 666X were written. Further Divine understandings continued, and were written down and added to the "Little Scroll". These were all dated and indexed.

The Supreme Spirit, Almighty God, did say to His Spirit Son: "Let us make man in our image according to our likeness". Their "image and likeness" is a spirit image and likeness, and is not in the image or likeness of flesh. A man can only begin to be created (subjected) in their likeness when as a living soul he has developed sound thinking ability. Adam, like many of his descendants today, was not willing to become a subjected spirit being. Whereas, Seth, Abel, and many others of the "seed" following them were subjected by means of Holy Spirit while they lived on earth in the flesh. Besides these, and since the new covenant by The Christ, 144,000 anointed sons of God have been gathered. And there are "other sheep, which are not of this fold" that are similarly being gathered into the spirit likeness of God and His Son. (John 10:16 NWT).

Today there has come to be two kinds of worshippers of God. Most recently, those who experience or witness the physical power of God's anger and who give glory to Him out of their fear of the physical calamities befalling them (as in the case of those surviving the Mexico earthquake in 1985 in fulfilment of Revelation 11:13); and those that worship God through true active faith before being inspired to do so by fearful events. Certain events have served as indicators of the fulfilment of particular prophesies of God, just before and leading up to the commencement of His Kingdom rule.

Prophesies that were fulfilled by such events just before and including the Mexico earthquake in 1985 indicated that the opportunity for acquiring faith through the "good news" of The Christ had ceased, as prophesied. (Rev 10:7 NWT). The purpose of the "good news" by The Christ was for people to be spiritually subjected to God through accurate knowledge and the exercise of faith in Him before Christ's second coming. This opportunity ceased after the period and related events of the "appointed times" of the nations were fulfilled. (Eph 1:10 NWT). Thereafter, salvation could only be achieved by the giving of glory to God out of fear; that is to say, through witnessing and believing that the fear-inspiring calamities taking place worldwide are the work of God. The spirit subjection of such ones will be the future work of the 144,000 heavenly temple slaves of God. (Rev 7:4. 20:6. 11:13).

The creation of one's spirit ultimately leads to immortal spirit life for all subjected worshippers of God. This is achieved by the practice of one's faith according to God's written Word made known through His prophets and disciples, and by a holy fear of God with an earnest desire to serve His Will instead of one's own will. By His removal of the "veil" of ignorance (2 Cor 3:16) that once shrouded the hearts and minds of all His potential servants, we were able to clearly see His mercy and the wonders of the Divine Will as expressed in His written Word the Holy Bible.

The revelations of The Opened "Little Scroll" revealed during the "time of the end" of the present systems were only briefly described to the Apostle John. (Rev Ch.10). This Scroll reveals the last sweet/bitter denunciations of God against instituted error within all nations    Christ's exposure of them through many warnings, sent before the impending anger of God upon all spirit rebellion. It has been particularly directed against the "FINAL REBELLION" in Christ's congregations, manifest as the composite "man of lawlessness" (2 Thess 2:3-12 NWT NEB) and described as the "disgusting thing" "standing in a holy place". (Matt 24:15). These are men and women who apostatized by "trampling" on those whom God inhabits by Spirit. (Rev 11:2. 1 Cor 6:19) (Dan 8:10-12).

The "Little Scroll" are heavenly spirit communications channeled through one of His "two (anointed) witnesses" (Rev 11:3) that are faithful members residing on earth of the "body" of Christ. It is a contribution both in word and deed toward the legal case that has been conducted to vindicate the Holy Name of God, both in heaven and on earth. Thereafter, the Heavenly Court will sit in judgement in connection with the legal case over the rulership of all the kingdoms on earth. (Dan 7:27). This Court will administer punishment to all those who harassed and "trampled" on the holy ones of God. The methods and means will then be revealed by which people of God were harassed during the "times" of the end by the composite "man of lawlessness" with the intention of misleading the remaining chosen ones of God ("if such a thing were possible"). (Matt 24:24 NEB. 2 Thess 2:3).

This composite "man" (made up of many) was invested with satanic authority and was promoted by those receptive to this particular kind of satanic activity, to change the "times and law" of God to "try making a vision come true"     their own. (Dan 11:14. 7:25). They were active just before, and during, the "appointed times" of the nations and related events of that period. (Dan 8:13,14) (Dan 12:11). They fabricated schemes to fulfil their own vision of self-appointed 'times' during the years preceding and leading up to the reality of the "appointed times" of God; and thus in every aspect fulfilled the prophecy that describes the activity of the "man of lawlessness". They got to "believing the lie"     their own! (2 Thess 2:11). The "Little Scroll" provides more than enough evidence to expose that prophesied "LIE".

The "Little Scroll" helps to refine servants of God, but in others who have sworn falsely in His Name it has become to them a curse. (Zech 5:1-4. Ezek Ch.3). The power that inspired the "Little Scroll" was an anointing by Holy Spirit from Almighty God, through His Christ the Firstborn, Jesus our Lord; and included many communications in visions of the night*. (1 John 2:27,20.  2 Cor 4:6.  *Job 33:15,16).

Spiritual knowledge of the "Little Scroll" is to refine the spirits of people of all the nations by their application of it in their lives through spirit readjustment. This knowledge will be administered at the incoming new celebrations of the festival of booths, the pilgrim-feast of Tabernacles. These gatherings will take place for the survivors of each nation of the world; particularly for those who have warred against heavenly "Jerusalem". (Zech 14:16-21). Nations that refuse to obey this arrangement from God will receive no "pouring rains" upon them (Zech 14:17); and persistent refusal will lead to those individuals being accursed by God (Isaiah 65:20 NEB), as in the case of those African nations experiencing the "four families" of destruction sent them by God. (Jer 15:3,4). So will the aspect of each nation be judged.

Concerning those parts of the "Little Scroll" that are often repeated, this is done for emphasis. The scripture states: "For by those stammering with their lips and by a different tongue He will speak to this people". (Isaiah 28:11 NWT). For: "These things we also speak, not with words taught by human wisdom, but with those taught by the spirit, as we combine spiritual matters with spiritual words." *

* Or: "as we match spiritual matters to spiritual men". (See 1 Cor 2:13 NWT Large Edition).

The "Little Scroll" was not written merely for the purpose of academic study, and its culmination will only be bitter for heartless ones. It is at one's heart that this work is aimed (1 Cor 13:1-3), so that by one's obedience to the Word of God each of these scriptural understandings   which are in agreement   are distilled into one's spirit, for the benefit of acquiring a righteous life now, and life everlasting thereafter.

To understand the symbolic language from God through His prophets as addressed particularly to the people of this generation, it is necessary to view certain scriptural passages literally, as past "shadows" that describe future realities today in the "time of the end" of this "Esau" age, and before the imminent spirit age of "Jacob" begins. Therefore, The Opened "Little Scroll" comprises a large number of transformations of the literal scriptural events of the past into their intended spiritual realities taking place between the spirit heavens and mankind. The spiritual work and authority to "prophesy again" the "Little Scroll" concerning the nations (Rev 10:11) has been given to the Heavenly Assembly of God.

It is of the utmost importance that as individuals and as a nation we live according to the Way that pleases our Heavenly Creator, in order that He blesses us with all goodness. The alternative would be to displease Him and to suffer under His constant discipline; or worse, to ignore His advanced warnings and suffer the "plagues" of adverse judgement upon self-destructive spirit activities that damage one's wellbeing and happiness. (Rev 18:4,5). An angel of God told Ezra (Esdras) that those contemptuous of the Word of God will have to "learn the truth through torments after death." (2 Esdras 9:9-12 NEB). Surely it is wiser to learn the truth of the Will of God for us now, in this life, and live according to it, than to learn the truth through torments after one's death.

For one to gain a thorough understanding of a particular subject in this Scroll, readers are advised to view all the pages on that subject under the relevant heading in the Subject Index. While progressively reading from the first page onwards does have its merits, for one to gain a thorough understanding of a particular subject it is advised that all pages listed under the relevant subject heading are studied. As has been stated, some teachings are repeated, but with additional new information. As it is written: "For by those stammering with their lips and by a different tongue He will speak to this people". (Isaiah 28:11 NWT). "Stammering" means repetition, and a "different tongue" means harsh "speech".

For one's spiritual enlightenment, scriptural prophecies describing past literal events should now be considered as to their spiritual reality today (spiritual fulfilment). Indeed, such prophecies should be understood as having both a literal and a spiritual fulfilment. Please note: Unless otherwise stated, scriptures quoted in The Opened "Little Scroll" are from The New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (NWT). In order of frequency, the Bible translations used in this Scroll are as follows:

WHY THE NEW WORLD TRANSLATION HAS
BEEN USED IN THE OPENED "LITTLE SCROLL".
This translation has been used in The Opened "Little Scroll" for two very important reasons: That although this particular translation is the only one used by the unGodly sect falsely calling themselves Jehovah's Witnesses   whose wickedness the Lord is now revealing   the translators of it were not of their sect. It was compiled by Westcott and Hort, and is for the most part an accurate rendering. However, within the pages of the many books compiled and printed by the sect of JWs there are many "lying signs and portents", in fulfilment of the prophecy of 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12. But while this sect has misused this translation in their books to change the "times and law" of God, we have used that same translation to overturn their false reasonings and every "lofty thing" they have "raised up against the knowledge of God". (2 Cor 10:4,5) (Dan 7:25).

In every detail the sect falsely calling themselves Jehovah's Witnesses have fulfilled the evil work of the composite "man of lawlessness" described in 2 Thessalonians chapter 2. Their usurpation and removal of members of The Christ's congregation and the 'shifting' of their responsibilities to unsealed men is no longer a mystery. For by the "spirit of his mouth" uttered through his anointed servants on earth our Lord Jesus revealed them. They were publicly revealed in print from 14th December 1976 onwards. Members of this "man of lawlessness" are the ones whom the Lord Jesus will destroy by the spirit of his mouth and annihilate by the radiance of his coming. (2 Thess 2:8 NWT NEB). The Opened "Little Scroll" is also the legal case of our Lord against all other false religions symbolically described as the "harlot daughters" of spiritistic "Babylon".

The only spiritual work that our Lord The Christ Michael has ordered his followers to carry out during this "time of the end" is to prophesy the Opened "Little Scroll". (Rev 10:7-11). This Scroll has been made known to his Spirit anointed brothers for, and during, this "time of the end" of the present systems of this spiritual "darkness". It was made known to us during the past three decades, before the recent and continuing destruction of Babylon/Iraq. This will now be followed by the glorious rule of God. (Rev 19:6). The "Little Scroll" has been sweet to receive, but the public response to its proclamation has been bitter. The reason for this, during these "last days", is as prophesied through the apostle Paul:

"You must face the fact: the final age of this world is to be a time of troubles. Men will love nothing but money and self; they will be arrogant, boastful, and abusive; with no respect for parents, no gratitude, no piety, no natural affection; they will be implacable in their hatreds, scandal-mongers, intemperate and fierce, strangers to all goodness, traitors, adventurers, swollen with self-importance. They will be men who put pleasure in the place of God, men who preserve the outward form of religion, but are a standing denial of its reality. Keep clear of men like these. They are the sort that insinuate themselves into private houses and there get miserable women into their clutches, women burdened with a sinful past, and led on by all kinds of desires, who are always wanting to be taught, but are incapable of reaching a knowledge of the truth. As Jannes and Jambres defied Moses, so these men defy the truth; they have lost the power to reason, and they cannot pass the tests of faith. But their successes will be short-lived, for, like those opponents of Moses, they will come to be recognized by everyone for the fools they are." (2 Timothy 3:1-9 NEB).
