  1. You’re Invited to a Sacred Event! The Memorial of Christ is not the Last Supper that the world continues to celebrate. The Last Supper is the Last Passover Meal that was first established in Egypt. The Jewish Day began at Sunset. Since the Sun sets at various times, the Passover Supper would begin and be consumed as the Sun was beginning to sink into the Horizon while there is still Sunlight. The meal needed to be eaten in hast in its entirety during twilight or between the two evenings of the sun setting. (Exodus 12:6) The Last Passover Meal was Nisan 14th, 33 CE with the fulfillment of the Mosaic Law. Today as Christians, we invite others to simply observe the Memorial of Jesus Christ that was instituted moments later after the Last Supper was concluded and brought to its end. As the Last Supper was concluding, Jesus was reclining at the table with all 12 disciples.  While they were eating, he said: “Truly I say to you, one of you will betray me.” (Matthew 26:20-21) Therefore, the event that concluded the Last Passover Meal was the dismissal of an unfaithful apostle. Jesus answered: “It is the one to whom I will give the piece of bread that I dip.” So after dipping the bread, he took it and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.  After Judas took the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him. So Jesus said to him: “What you are doing, do it more quickly.” (John 13:26-28) “So after he received the piece of bread, he went out immediately. And it was night.” (John 13:30) After dismissing the betrayer from the midst of the Faithful Disciples, Jesus instituted a new teaching for His Faithful Followers. Notice, the whole world wasn’t invited, but those who proved to be faithful and trustworthy up to this point. Since the founding of the Christian Congregation on Pentecost 33 CE, Christians have been commemorating the death of Jesus Christ every Nisan 14th. With one simple command, his faithful sheep “Keep doing this in remembrance of me.” (Luke 22:19) Share this Post on your social media and Save a Life. Please join us for the annual observance of the death of Jesus Christ. This year it will be held on Tuesday, April 4, 2023.

  2. The destruction of religion comes after the sealing of the anointed have concluded. This means that we soon can look to this event and it will come of all of sudden for many. Let's re-visited what event paves the way to false religions' destruction. "And I saw another angel ascending from the sunrise, having a seal of the living God; and he called with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, saying: “Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, until after we have sealed the slaves of our God in their foreheads.” (Rev 7:2-3) The sealing event is a process which began on Pentecost 33 CE. It is a timed event, but when does this event come to it's conclusion for the 144,000 as a whole? By applying the following scripture, it's for ALL to SEE... Yes, it's coming to the conclusion. It's Spiritual. All will SEE after the fact, even the unbelievers, but they will not understand what they see... Then he said: “Go, Daniel, because the words are to be kept secret and sealed up until the time of the end. Many will cleanse themselves and whiten themselves and will be refined. And the wicked ones will act wickedly, and none of the wicked will understand; but those having insight will understand." (Daniel 12:9-10)
  3. The 144,000... when are they chosen and sealed? Brother Rando is a student of Prophecy and one of Jehovah's Witnesses. His interests are directed towards how the time of the end would come about. His Goal is to educate the public that Jehovah Witnesses have accepted the Sacrifice in Christ, whose Blood was shed for many as a ransom and exercise faith in 'Jesus Christ' for salvation. (Romans 10:9) As a student of Prophecy, the passing of time often reveals the specific timing of such divine declarations. The Prophets that announced them do not always know the exact timing. The Sealing of the 144,000 is now at hand. Another timed event that needs no guess work. Jesus replied to them: “Tear down this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” (John 2:19) The Bible points out that Jesus was not talking about the temple made with hands, “But he was talking about the temple of his body.” (John 2:21) Could the temple of his body be the 144,000 of his anointed followers also known as the Body of Christ? If the "the temple of Christ's Body" is not made with hands and Jesus was to sacrifice his Flesh, once for all time, then taking back his fleshly body would void his Father's Will. (1 Peter 2:18) The scriptures do indicate some insight to what he meant, "But he was talking about the temple of his body." (John 2:21) Notice the scripture doesn't state his fleshly body for his fleshly body was to be sacrificed once and for all time, but rather 'the temple of his body.' Once the temple is raised up, then we could expect to enter into Christ’s Millennial Reign in the third day. That time of (three physical days) has gone and passed almost two thousand years ago and Christ's Millennial Reign has not yet taken place. Today, we see that the World is engulfed in hatred and greed and the signs or manifestations happening today are causing all of the tribes of the earth to beat themselves in lamentation or grief. People are looking for a way out. The Apostle Peter referred to the temple by stating, "As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but chosen, precious to God, you yourselves as living stones are being built up into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, in order to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ." (1 Peter 2:4-5) The scripture by the Apostle Paul also gives us evidence that others are also included as God’s temple that Jesus Christ himself would raise up. "Do you not know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that the spirit of God dwells in you? (1 Corinthians 3:16) Again, this did not happen in a 72 hour period but rather the process of raising up the foundation of the living stones began on Pentecost 33 CE. Can the Body of Christ be the same as God’s temple? Yes. “Just as the body is one but has many members, and all the members of that body, although many, are one body, so too is the Christ.” (1 Cor 12:12) Jesus could have stated (John 2:19) in several ways. in three days on the third day after two days The question of how long a day is listed in the scriptures for all to see. "However, do not let this escape your notice, beloved ones, that one day is with Jehovah as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day." (2 Peter 3:8) 33CE + 2,000 yrs = 2033 So when can expect the 144,000 of God’s temple to be raised up? "He will revive us after two days. On the third day he will raise us up, And we will live before him." (Hosea 6:2) The Body of Christ began to be collected on Pentecost 33 CE and will continue for two days of 1,000 years each before the third day begins 2034. 33CE + 2,000 yrs = 2033 You won't find 2034 in the Bible, but you won't find 33 CE either. Yet, 33 CE was a 'timed event' that comes from the Messiah being cut off in the middle of that 70th week and Pentecost followed 50 days later. They looked with their eyes but they could not see. "Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, until after we have sealed the slaves of our God in their foreheads.”(Rev 7:3) We also get 1914 from the book of Daniel which was another 'timed event' that occurred about the time allotted for Gentile Rule. In the Book of Daniel, Bible Prophecy pointed to a specific time period. Taking the time limit of 2,520 years and adding them to the time of destruction of the temple in Jerusalem 607 BCE, the timing lined up to the year 1914 CE. The timing of the 144,000 being chosen, seems to line up with the conclusion of the Last Days in 2034. When you add the time limit for the Last Days of Noah to the Last Days of this Age, what year keeps popping up? 1914 + 120 yrs = 2034 The Fulfillment of Prophecies are 'timed events'. They have a Beginning and an End to them which covers a specific time period. Knowing such dates of a prophecy once revealed to those who are being ministered to, does not necessarily beget salvation. It doesn't give a person divine protection or extraordinary insight but it may make a person more accountable to Jehovah for not warning others.” One would need to continue walking by faith... Better times lay ahead of us, but not for everyone. “Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, until after we have sealed the slaves of our God in their foreheads.” (Rev 7:3) Notice that harm to the earth, sea, or trees are being withheld until after we have sealed the slaves of our God in their foreheads. This is in reference to sealing of the 144,000 which are representatives of God’s temple, the Body of Christ, New Jerusalem, Christ’s Brothers, and even the Bride of Christ. All are one in the same. Once the total number of the 144,000 are sealed, then a colossal number of other prophecies begin to become fulfilled. “I will make my holy name known among my people Israel, and I will not allow my holy name to be profaned any longer; and the nations will have to know that I am Jehovah, the Holy One in Israel.” (Ezekiel 39:7) Since these things are undergoing spiritual fulfillment, the Bible warns us that "Jehovah’s day will come as a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar, but the elements being intensely hot will be dissolved, and earth and the works in it will be exposed." (2 Peter 3:10) "For the vision is yet for its appointed time, And it is rushing toward its end, and it will not lie. Even if it should delay, keep in expectation of it! For it will without fail come true. It will not be late!" (Habakkuk 2:3)
  4. The answer is in Hebrews 5:5 to which angel. So, too, the Christ did not glorify himself by becoming a high priest, but was glorified by the One who said to him: “You are my son; today I have become your father.” I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you on the way and to bring you into the place that I have prepared. Exodus 23:20 Pay attention to him, and obey his voice. Do not rebel against him, for he will not pardon your transgressions, because my name is in him. Exodus 23:21 Who was that angel? Now I want you to know, brothers, that our forefathers were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea and all got baptized into Moses by means of the cloud and of the sea, and all ate the same spiritual food and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they used to drink from the spiritual rock that followed them, and that rock meant the Christ. Other translations read: Aramaic Bible in Plain EnglishAnd they all drank of the one drink of The Spirit, for they were drinking from The Rock of The Spirit, which was with them, but that Rock was The Messiah. Good News Translationand drank the same spiritual drink. They drank from the spiritual rock that went with them; and that rock was Christ himself.

  5. The scales on your eyes are so thick that when you try to slander, you speak gibberish.
  6. @Witness Hebrews 1:9 You loved righteousness, and you hated lawlessness. That is why God, your God, anointed you with the oil of exultation more than your companions.” To claim that Jesus is not the one anointed by Jehovah in this scripture shows your lack of understanding. Interesting how none of the Apostles worshipped Jesus... and they even greeted one another with this greeting: Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, for according to his great mercy he gave us a new birth to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, There's a reason why you have been removed from our congregations. You are well aware by now that you are being block by the angels who are the reapers from re-entry. It would be like you trying to eat of the tree of life after you were excused. Hate the message not the messenger.
  7. It's only confusing to you. David and Solomon both sat on God's throne. Are they God? No, rather his Representative as in the case of Jesus Christ. If want to use error to justify your belief that Jesus is God, you have a whole lot more scriptures to manipulate. Take Hebrews 1:9 for instance Your claim is that Jesus is God and anointed someone... If that was true, then who did Jesus anoint??
  8. Here you see another mis-use of the word of worship in also the Hebrew Scripture. And he said, Nay; but as prince of the host of Jehovah am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant? Joshua 5:14 ASV Joshua is a faithful servant of Jehovah and would not engage in worshipping the Prince of Jehovah's Host for he the chief angel. Angel worship is forbidden. Therefore, the Hebrew and Greek word for worship should be taken into context such as the scripture below, the truth is out there and Jehovah Witnesses have it. And He saith, 'No, for I am Prince of Jehovah's host; now I have come;' and Joshua falleth on his face to the earth, and doth obeisance, and saith to Him, 'What is my Lord speaking unto His servant?' Joshua 5:14 YLT Remember you never knew that the Jewish Passover was celebrated during twilight until one of Jehovah's Witnesses educated you on the matter and that the Memorial of Christ is commemorated after Sunset. A big difference of which I could have allowed you to walk blindly into the fiery pit. Your time for changing course is running out.
  9. Christ is the angel called by Jehovah and made him high priest and said to him “You are my Son. Today I have become your father.” 4 Nobody takes this honor on himself, but he is called by God, just like Aaron was. 5 So also Christ didn’t glorify himself to be made a high priest, but it was he who said to him, “You are my Son. Today I have become your father.” 5Of all my sons (for Yahweh has given me many sons), he has chosen Solomon my son to sit on the throne of Yahweh’s kingdom over Israel. 6He said to me, ‘Solomon, your son, shall build my house and my courts; for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father. 7I will establish his kingdom forever if he continues to do my commandments and my ordinances, as it is today.’ Notice that Solomon sits of on God's throne which actually means God is his throne... not the Solomon is God's throne. Psalm 2:7 Let me proclaim the decree of Jehovah; He said to me: “You are my son; Today I have become your father. Acts 13:33 God has completely fulfilled it to us, their children, by resurrecting Jesus; just as it is written in the second psalm: ‘You are my son; today I have become your father.’ The Hebrew word that was mistranslation worship actually means obeisance. This English word (from the same Latin root as “obey” and “obedience”) You may want to stop and ask yourself, who are the ones told and commanded to obey Christ? Answer: All the angels of God Hebrews 1:8 But about the Son, he says: “God is your throne forever and ever, and the scepter of your Kingdom is the scepter of uprightness. Hebrews 1:9 You loved righteousness, and you hated lawlessness. That is why God, your God, anointed you with the oil of exultation more than your companions.” Psalm 45:6, 7 6 God is your throne forever and ever; The scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of uprightness. 7 You loved righteousness, and you hated wickedness. That is why God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of exultation more than your companions.
  10. Are you experiencing great tribulation? Have you ever experienced a tribulation that was so great and horrendous, that you thought you were just going to die? Well, you're not the only one. The whole world is going through some sort of tribulation in one way or another, and I am sure that you can attest to that. There is good news, this time period doesn't last forever, it does and will come to an end. Charles Taze Russell was a youth searching for the truth for a better life. He literally was walking by a building and heard singing in the basement which attracted his attention. He soon found out in his teenage years that the teachings of his religion was very different what the Bible teaches. Through Bible Study, he continued his studies undaunted to search for the answers to his questions. He became a student of prophesy and shared his findings with those who would listen. His forte' was learning about the End of the Gentile times would come about and looked forward to the rule of God's Kingdom. Brother Russell wrote: "'The Earth Abideth Forever' Christ will not return to Earth as a Man - Present Year Believed to Mark Great Change of Dispensation, but World May not discern Immediate Difference." The Bible Students Monthly, January, 1914. Since Christ will not return to Earth as a Man, Brother Russell wrote: "Our Lord, in describing His Second Presence, clearly indicated that it would be unnoticed by the world until the cataclysm of trouble should come. Thus He likened the earlier days of His presence to that period before the Flood, when the world, unconscious of the impending catastrophe, continued to build, eat and drink as usual, and knew not. So, says the Master, it will be in the end of this Age. Eating, drinking, building, planting and marrying will proceed as usual; and the world will not know that they are in the PRESENCE of the Son of Man." According to Bible Prophecy, 1914 marked great change of dispensation. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary - Dispensation means a general state or ordering of things specifically : a system of revealed (see REVEAL entry 1 sense 1) commands and promises regulating human affairs. to make known through divine inspiration to make (something secret or hidden) publicly or generally known reveal a secret to open up to view : DISPLAY the uncurtained window revealed a cluttered room He continues, "The Bible nowhere tells that Jesus took the human nature to keep it forever, and to return with it to Heaven, where it would be completely out of order and out of place. The Bible teaches, on the contrary, that "flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God" (1 Cor 15:50); and that Jesus was made flesh merely 'that He, by the grace of God, should taste death for every man' (Heb 2:9) and that after doing this work He would "ascend up where He was before." (John 6:62) The great Day of Trouble, noted throughout the Scriptures as the Time of Trouble such as never was since there was a nation, will come upon them suddenly." Brother Russell also mentions that this time of trouble could last a certain amount of time as in the time of Noah. Then he mentions, "Then, later on, will come the Epiphania; that is to say, the revelation, or manifestation, of the present One. This will not be a manifestation in the flesh, but in a great Time of Trouble, symbolically represented as fire, as when we read, "He shall be revealed in flaming fire, taking vengeance." -- 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10. (Matthew 24:21) Look at the picture above and read the scripture of (Matthew 24:21) that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ warned us about. This time period began in 1914 but remember, these days we are experiencing now, do not last forever, "In fact, unless those days were cut short, no flesh would be saved; but on account of the chosen ones those days will be cut short." (Matthew 24:22) Look with your mind's eye of reasoning what you are experiencing. You're not alone! The Bible tells us, "Jehovah is close to the brokenhearted; He saves those who are crushed in spirit." (Pslams 34:18) Also, we have a helper in His Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ whom states, "Come to me, all you who are toiling and loaded down, and I will refresh you." (Mat 11:28) National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 1 (800) 273-8255
  11. 2034 and its significance... 2034 has a dual significance of several Bible Prophecies that will begin to unfold in the near future. One of those prophecies are in response to the 'short period of time' Satan has, known as the Last Days. "Woe for the earth and for the sea, because the Devil has come down to you, having great anger, knowing that he has a short period of time." (Rev 12:12) 2034 doesn't represent the beginning of this period but rather the end of it. The Last Days would come to a close as the allotted time is exhausted giving a full witness to the earth's inhabitants. "And this good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come." (Matthew 24:14) That End is not the end of the world, but rather the End of an Age of Wickedness. An Explanation from The Watchtower Magazine, December 15, 2003, Pages 14 - 19 entitled "Warned of “Things Not Yet Beheld” The issuance of this divine decree in 2490 B.C.E. marked the beginning of the end for that ungodly world. Just think what that meant for those then living! Only 120 years more and Jehovah would bring “the deluge of waters upon the earth to bring to ruin all flesh. What about us? Some 90 years have passed since the last days of this system of things began in 1914. We are certainly in “the time of the end.” (Daniel 12:4) Could the Great Tribulation occur soon after 2034? It is possible that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was referring to the Great Tribulation as an allotment period of time. Why? Jesus explains to his followers, "Moreover, just as it occurred in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days of the Son of man:" (Luke 17:26) Weren't the days of Noah 120 years in length? (Genesis 6:3) This period (1914 + 120 yrs =2034) is a conclusion of the system of things. Read more... What does tribulation mean? Definition of tribulation : distress or suffering resulting from oppression or persecution also : a trying experience 'Woe for the earth and for the sea, because the Devil has come down to you, having great anger, knowing that he has a short period of time.' (Rev 12:12) Are we not in distress and suffering resulting from oppression or persecution especially since 1914? The Last Days began in 1914, but could 2034 mark the end of the Last Days? It could... The short period of time would not be an exhaustive amount of time that would seem to go on and on and on. The Scriptures point out that Satan recognizes that this allotment of time to be a short period of time. 2034 would not only represent the end of Satan's Wicked Rule, but would also mark Christ Millennial Reign poised to begin. Therefore, it makes sense that the Sealing of the 144,000 would be completed prior to the end of the Last Days in 2034. Notice this teaching from the Apostle Paul, "For God is my witness of how I am longing for all of you with such tender affection as Christ Jesus has. And this is what I continue praying, that your love may abound still more and more with accurate knowledge and full discernment; that you may make sure of the more important things, so that you may be flawless and not stumbling others up to the day of Christ;" (Philippians 1:8-10) 2034 is not an end all date, by this time Satan and his demons will have gathered the kings of the entire inhabited earth, to gather them together to the war of the great day of God the Almighty. (Rev 16:14) A host of other prophecies begin to emerge. For instance, the separation work of the sheep and goats begin. Jesus would grant Life to the Great Crowd of whom he chooses as his sheep. They would be marked to be Survivors during the short respite period of peace. They simply continue living during the condition or situation of Armageddon that forms at (Psalms 2:2) and (1 Thessalonians 5:3) and become Survivors of the Last Days. Once the Day of Christ does begin, no harm will be allowed to come upon the faithful as the wicked die off.
  12. It's very possible. But there are a few scriptures indicate that many may not recognize this at first. “Even if [the vision] should delay, keep in expectation of it; for it will without fail come true. It will not be late.”—HABAKKUK 2:3. Evidently, it will be similar to the beginning of the last days in 1914 CE. Only a few recognized the timing of the troubling things to come. Even fewer recognized this troubled time would come to an end. Prophecies are a process. Notice this scripture, "Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you become fruitful and take possession of the land." Exodus 23:30 The separation of the sheep to keep on living begins after the Great Tribulation and is invisible, but we know the message is that the nations will be saying "Peace and Security." So with that, what happens to the wicked? They are Not Given the Mark of Survivorship to keep on living and begin dying the second death of everlasting destruction without knowing of such as if they were on fire and melting: It's SPIRITUAL "The great day of Jehovah is near! It is near and it is approaching very quickly! The sound of the day of Jehovah is bitter. There a warrior cries out. That day is a day of fury, A day of distress and anguish, A day of storm and desolation, A day of darkness and gloom, A day of clouds and thick gloom, A day of the horn and of the battle cry, Against the fortified cities and against the high corner towers. I will cause distress to mankind, And they will walk like blind men, Because it is against Jehovah they have sinned. Their blood will be poured out like dust, And their flesh like the dung. Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to save them in the day of Jehovah’s fury; For by the fire of his zeal the whole earth will be consumed, Because he will make an extermination, indeed a terrible one, of all the inhabitants of the earth.” (Zephaniah 1:14-18) Jehovah's Day is the transition period from the tribulation of those days to the start of Armageddon which is the beginning of Christ Milliniuel Reign of a thousand years. Scriptures do indicate that we are in Jehovah's Day now as it has already begun silently and without fanfare. Jehovah's Day seems to have begun after the inspection of the temple here on earth between the years 1914 to 1918. The choosing of the Faithful and Discreet Slave at the time unknown to the very Brothers chosen was 1919. Since the Brothers take the lead in feeding the many, some have fallen away to become Apostates and Oppossers, known and declared as Weeds. Even though Jesus Christ did not know the timing of his presence and the conclusion the systems of things, we now know it was 1914. "Therefore, just as the weeds are collected and burned with fire, so it will be in the conclusion of the system of things." (Matthew 13:40) "The Son of man will send his angels, and they will collect out from his Kingdom all things that cause stumbling and people who practice lawlessness, and they will pitch them into the fiery furnace. There is where their weeping and the gnashing of their teeth will be." (Matthew 13:41) There are two phases of separation, the weeds who die the second death have been collected since 1919 by the angels. They have already been been pitched into the fiery furnace has they died off. This process seems to line up to the conclusion the last days. Therefore, it is not unrealistic to expect Jehovah's Day to be a period of 120 years. (1919 + 120 years = 2039) Jehovah's Day is also referred to the Day of Judgement. Those living during the Conclusion of the System of things. The second separation phase is due to begin towards or at the end of the conclusion of the last days so the sheep keep on living and come out of the Great Tribulation. The goats and oppossers simply die off. That's Armageddon! It's SPIRITUAL... There are two thoughts of the Great Tribulation, one is when the fulfillment of (1 Thessalonians 5:3) is realized. And second, it is possible the Great Tribulation is the period of the Last Days that cover the period of time of 120 years. (1914 + 120 Years = 2034) That would mean it is a 'timed event' and a process. “Then there will be great tribulation such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now, no, nor will occur again. In fact, unless those days were cut short, no flesh would be saved; but on account of the chosen ones those days will be cut short.”—Matt. 24:21, 22. Our understanding of the days being cut short is the stopping Gog and Magog from attacking God's Named People. Yes, but could it also be a "timed event" of the Last Days coming to their END since the anointed are due to be Summoned? Wouldn't that be on account of the chosen ones? There is also some deeper understanding that is coming into focus about (1 Thessalonians 4:16) Some in the past have indicated that this may have been fulfilled in 1919 when the Faithful and Discreet Slave have been chosen to collect the things in heaven and on earth as an Administration. The Last Days would come to their end when the last anointed ones would be sealed. In this manner it would be their Final Sealing for they already would have went through the testing process. "saying: “Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, until after we have sealed the slaves of our God in their foreheads.” (Rev 7:3) The "timed period" covers from Pentecost 33 to 2033. The following scriptures seem to mark the end of the Last Days with it's timing in view: in a moment, in the blink of an eye, during the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised up incorruptible, and we will be changed. 1 Corinthians 15:52 Afterward we the living who are surviving will, together with them, be caught away in clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and thus we will always be with the Lord. 1 Thessalonians 4:17 The prophecy at 1 Corinthians 15:52 is still undergoing. 1919 + 120 yrs = 2039 The prophecy at 1 Thessalonians 4:17 is due to be fulfilled shortly after the Last Days come to their end. 2034-2039
  13. John 1:1 tells us who it is in the beginning of Creation. "In the Beginning was the Word." The Word is no other than the Chief Messenger in how Jehovah brought in other Creation, Yahweh created me, the first of his ways, before his acts of old.(Proverb 8:22) "because the Lord himself, in a shout, in the voice of a chief-messenger, and in the trump of God, shall come down from heaven, and the dead in Christ shall rise first," (1 Thess 4:16)
  14. And that is the point I was trying to draw out. If we are going to use the third clause to identify whom the Word was, there are more accurate ways. No matter what identity is used, it is not totally accurate in the sense that the third clause is supposed to be used to express the Word's divinity. Examples of identity could be one the following; and the word was a god and the word was godlike and the word was a messenger and the word was a son and the word was the son of God and the word was of God Examples of divinity are in the feminine sense and the word was Divine and the word was a deity and the word was a god Strong's Concordance theos: God, a god Original Word: θεός, οῦ, ὁ Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine; Noun, Masculine Transliteration: theos Phonetic Spelling: (theh'-os) Definition: God, a god Usage: (a) God, (b) a god, generally.
  15. I see your point. I never came across a true literal translation. I don't think none exist. But if there was such a thing, the only fair thing to do is a literal translation without articles, capitalization and punctuation. Also the third clause was flipped but did not change the meaning from earlier translations. A literal translation often is cold and gives no meaning. Not only do we speak with words but we tend to emphasis our words with Capitalization, articles and punctuation! The reason why we know the introduction of John is speaking about Michael is because of the meaning of Michael's name. The third clause is not speaking of the Logos identity but rather his qualitive sense. Case in point. Michael means "who is like God"? or "who is godlike"? We also know the qualitive sense of the Logos is divine. Following comes from Our Research of the Logos: Quote- 1808 “and the word was a god” The New Testament, in An Improved Version, Upon the Basis of Archbishop Newcome’s New Translation: With a Corrected Text, London. 1864 “and a god was the Word” The Emphatic Diaglott (J21, interlinear reading), by Benjamin Wilson, New York and London. 1935 “and the Word was divine” The Bible—An American Translation, by J. M. P. Smith and E. J. Goodspeed, Chicago. 1950 “and the Word was a god” New World Translation of the Christian Greek Scriptures, Brooklyn. 1975 “and a god (or, of a divine kind) was the Word” Das Evangelium nach Johannes, by Siegfried Schulz, Göttingen, Germany. 1978 “and godlike sort was the Logos” Das Evangelium nach Johannes, by Johannes Schneider, Berlin. 1979 “and a god was the Logos” Das Evangelium nach Johannes, by Jürgen Becker, Würzburg, Germany. These translations use such words as “a god,” “divine” or “godlike” because the Greek word θεός (the·osʹ) is a singular predicate noun occurring before the verb and is not preceded by the definite article. This is an anarthrous the·osʹ. The God with whom the Word, or Logos, was originally is designated here by the Greek expression ὁ θεός, that is, the·osʹ preceded by the definite article ho. This is an articular the·osʹ. Careful translators recognize that the articular construction of the noun points to an identity, a personality, whereas a singular anarthrous predicate noun preceding the verb points to a quality about someone. Therefore, John’s statement that the Word or Logos was “a god” or “divine” or “godlike” does not mean that he was the God with whom he was. It merely expresses a certain quality about the Word, or Logos, but it does not identify him as one and the same as God himself. -End of Quote Anyways what about giving the reader the most accurate translation as possible with the most correct rendering of meaning and inserting a footnote to the reason why it was done that way? "In the beginning was the Logos, and the Logos was with God, and the Logos was Divine*." * The third clause is not speaking of the Logos identity but rather his qualitive sense. Case in point. Michael means "who is like God"? or "who is godlike"? and that qualitive sense of the Logos is Divine. I'm sure with a multitude of counselors, one should be able to find a scripture full of truth and the one reading it could be moved to exclaim, this is the truth! A scripture so accurate and convincing that the reader could not be swayed. Even the footnote itself should be written in a way that it would support without question. See what you can come up with?
  16. Isn't the Son of God (a god) by definition? It would certainly cause a great and mighty earthquake down the middle of Babylon. Revelation 16:18 And there were flashes of lightning and voices and thunders, and there was a great earthquake unlike any that had occurred since men came to be on the earth,h so extensive and so great was the earthquake. 19 The great cityi split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell; and Babylon the Greatj was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath.k What are they going to do? Call us liars for claiming Jesus is the Son of God?
  17. There were times when Jesus answered his enemies and they left him without a response because they recognized his answer was 'the truth'. Who could argue against him? Those who recognized his teachings as truth had a choice to make. Do I humble myself and become a follower of Jesus Christ or do I choose to become an enemy of Christ and scatter his followers? Many are the latter! Imagine if John 1:1 was rendered correctly... and the Public got to see that there is only one Bible in the World that read, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was the Son of God." Who could argue against Jesus being the Son of God? Imagine the lives that could be saved. The argument that Jesus is God or a god would no longer be the center of controversy. Even trinitarians who deny Jesus' divinity as the Christ could not argue against Jesus being the Son of God. Sometimes, when it comes to saving lives, a person needs to hear the ring of truth. That truth is and the Word of God was the Son of God. The one chosen by God and sent to rescue humankind. Notice Jesus response to his enemies: do you say to me whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’? (John 10:36) The scriptures are clear that Elohim can be rendered God or (gods) in referring to angels. Angels are spirit creatures that are sons of the true God. ʼElo·himʹ is used in the Scriptures with reference to Jehovah himself, to angels, to idol gods (singular and plural), and to men. In the Book of John, he uses two Greek terms to differentiate the difference between Almighty God and his Son. Theon is used to refer to Almighty God as the God and theos when referring to his Son as a god. In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with the God (theon) and the Word was a god (theos). No man has seen the God (theon) at any time; the only-begotten god (theos) who is at the Father’s side is the one who has explained Him. This means everlasting life, their coming to know You, the only true God (theon), and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ. Jesus said to her: “Stop clinging to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and Your Father and to My God (theon) and Your God (theon).’” Jesus is never called (theon) which refers to Almighty God. With that being said, many will reject these facts. Imagine someday opening your Bible and for the first time, reading the following scriptures: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was the Son of God. Go, therefore, and make disciples of people of all the nations in my name, For a child is born to us, and a son is given to us, whose government is upon his shoulder: and his name is called the Angel of Great Counsel: for I will bring peace upon the princes, and health to him. Wouldn't these Bible truths bring the many to Salvation? "Do your utmost to present yourself approved to God, a workman with nothing to be ashamed of, handling the word of the truth aright." (2 Timothy 2:15) "Therefore, if someone knows how to do what is right and yet does not do it, it is a sin for him." (James 4:17)
  18. For a child is born to us, and a son is given to us, whose government is upon his shoulder: and his name is called the Angel of Great Counsel: for I will bring peace upon the princes, and health to him. (Isaiah 9:6) This scripture easily links to (Proverbs 8:35-36) & (Judges 13:18) His government shall be great, and of his peace there is no end: upon the throne of David, and his kingdom, to establish it, and to support with judgment and with righteousness, from henceforth and forever. The seal of Jehovah of hosts shall perform this. (Isaiah 9:7) Notice that the Angel of Great Counsel would bring Peace to those who take heed, but he would bring righteous judgement to those who refuse to listen or obey him. “I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you on the way and to bring you into the place that I have prepared.  Pay attention to him, and obey his voice. Do not rebel against him, for he will not pardon your transgressions, because my name is in him.” (Exodus 23:20-21) There is much to research, but it would be repetitive. Look at the two scriptures: For a child is born to us, and a son is given to us, whose government is upon his shoulder: and his name is called the Angel of Great Counsel: for I will bring peace upon the princes, and health to him. Isaiah 9:6 (LXX) For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6 (KJV) After reviewing both scriptures, one can easily assert how the KJV came about in removing the Angel of Great Counsel and then deleting for I will bring peace upon the princes, and health to him and replacing it with Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. It’s a substitution trying to appease the scripture that was removed, for I will bring peace upon the princes, and health to him. Three “the”s were added to the text at a latter time by KJV translators. Looking at the Hebrew text itself, you will not find them listed because they don’t exist. https://biblehub.com/interlinear/isaiah/9-6.htm Daniel 12:1 states Michael the Great Prince would stand up which indicates the real scripture at Isaiah 9:6 LXX which says, “I will bring peace upon the princes, and health to him” would be more accurate instead of the three titles Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace that replaced it. The following scripture fits like a glove. “Look! A king will reign for righteousness, And princes will rule for justice. And each one will be like a hiding place from the wind, A place of concealment from the rainstorm, Like streams of water in a waterless land, Like the shadow of a massive crag in a parched land.” (Isaiah 32:1-2) Anyways, didn’t Jesus tell his Disciples ‘not call anyone your father on earth, for one is your Father, the heavenly One’? (Matthew 23:9) Now if you noticed, Great Prince is set up by the definite article “the” which provides emphasis. But in Isaiah 9:6 KJV, there is only one definite article in referring to the government which would be God’s Kingdom. Isaiah 9:6 contains the indefinite article “a” for “a child” and “a son“. If the truth be told, really the prophecy at Isaiah and the Old Testament in it’s entirety is referring to Michael the Archangel. Archangel means Chief Messenger. Michael is the one given the name (Philippians 2:9-11, Hebrews 1:4, Acts 4:12) Michael is the beginning of creation (John 1:1, Col 1:15, Rev 3:14, Rev 22:16) Michael and his angels fight against Satan (Daniel 10:13, Daniel 10:21, Daniel 12:1, Jude 1:9, Zechariah 3:2, Joshua 5:14, Exodus 23:20-21, Rev 18:1, Rev 12:7-9) Michael is the one who abysses Satan (Rev 20:1, Rev 9:11, Luke 8:31, 1 Cor 10:10) Not only is Michael named the Angel of Great Counsel but also called by the name The Word of God. (Rev 19:11-13, Rev 1:13-15,) Michael speaks in behalf of his Father as his personal messenger [angel] (Exodus 3:2, Acts 7:30, Isaiah 49:2, Rev 1:14-16, Matthew 17:2, Act 9:3, Acts 16:13, Acts 27:23)
  19. A scripture that awaits to be seen in the light... (Matthew 28:19) “Jesus approached and spoke to them, saying: “All authority has been given ME in heaven and on the earth. Go, therefore, and make disciples of people of all the nations in MY Name, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you. And look! I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.” (Hebrew Matt 28:18-20) "Go, therefore, and make disciples of people of all the nations in MY Name, " (Hebrew Matthew 28:19) The Historian Eusebius of Caesarea (263-339), had extensive access to the Library that kept a copy of the original text of Matthew. Eusebius was also a Bishop whom quoted the Shem Tov Book of Matthew some seventeen times and all quotes of (Matthew 28:19) were quotes of one accord with no variations, (In My Name). "In fact, Eusebius refers to this passage well over a dozen times in the same form as the above quotations. Now you must also be aware that this quotation by Eusebius is also earlier than our earliest manuscripts for this verse. Hence, it is quite possible that a corruption occurred around the time the Arian controversy broke out under Constantine's reign. The following quotation is particularly interesting: For he did not enjoin them “to make disciples of all the nations” simply and without qualification, but with the essential addition “in his name”. Scripture also says that by the authority of Jesus people would be told to turn to God and change the way they think and act so that their sins will be forgiven. This would be told to people from all nations, beginning in the city of Jerusalem. '...and on the basis of his name, repentance for forgiveness of sins would be preached in all the nations—starting out from Jerusalem.' (Luke 24:47) When the Apostles approached the public in Jerusalem to give witness about Jesus, the Sanhedrin had them brought in for questioning, and a Pharisee named Gamaliel rose in the Sanhedrin and reasoned with them to be careful as to what you intend to do about these men. Do not meddle with these men, but let them alone. For if this scheme or this work is from men, it will be overthrown; but if it is from God, you will not be able to overthrow them. Otherwise, you may even be found fighters against God himself.” (Acts 5:33-39) "At this they took his advice, and they summoned the apostles, flogged them, and ordered them to stop speaking on the basis of Jesus’ name, and let them go." (Acts 5:40) Notice the Apostles weren't speaking in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit but in Jesus' Name. We also have this scripture which states, "For you were buried with him in his baptism, and by your relationship with him you were also raised up together through your faith in the powerful work of God, who raised him up from the dead." (Colossians 2:12) Eusebius goes on to relate that "God bestowed on him the name above every name, that in the name of Jesus every knee shall bow of things in heaven and on earth and under the earth." It was right therefore that he should emphasize the virtue of the power residing in his name but hidden from the many, and therefore say to his Apostles, "Go ye, and make disciples of all the nations in my name.’ (Demonstatio Evangelica, col. 240, p. 136) Invoking the Name Acts 4:10-12 Acts 4:27-30 So where did the current liturgy or formula found at Matthew 28:19 come from? Catholic Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger makes this confession as to the origin of the chief Trinity text of Matthew 28:19. “The basic form of our (Matthew 28:19 Trinitarian) profession of faith took shape during the course of the second and third centuries in connection with the ceremony of baptism. So far as its place of origin is concerned, the text (Matthew 28:19) came from the city of Rome.” — Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI) Introduction to Christianity: 1968 edition, pp. 82, 83. A key tellable sign that this was 100% Catholic liturgy is that it read in the name "of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost" Early Christians However, between the years 315 and 325 CE the Hebrew Book of Matthew was shelved or in some manner hidden away or may have even been destroyed. "The Greek version used by Eusebius poured more widely these verses, but in no way changing the sense of the Hebrew text, because when he quotes in his Ecclesiastical History part of Matthew 28:19, he writes: “Πηγαίνετε, κάντε μαθητές από όλα τα έθνη στο όνομά μου” “Go, make disciples of all nations in my name.” There is NOTHING in this scripture about baptizing in the Shem Tov Book of Matthew 28:19, but rather the making of disciples. Today, what is found of the Aramaic texts of Matthew 28:19, did not contain any form of baptism nor was the making of disciples found, but contained the simplistic command "Go". However, the verse “Go, make disciples of all nations in my name” was quoted dozen of times by several historians of the Hebrew Book of Matthew before its' official deletion and alteration took place on 325 CE at the Council of Nicaea. Since there are other scriptures that point to what Name was to be invoked in baptizing new converts, it is evident that the Catholic dogma was inserted early and in it's infancy by design to lead the masses away from Jesus Christ. However, there is no need for dependence on outside sources when the Bible itself has been preserved. Allowing scripture to interpret scripture when it comes to Baptizing is the Best Method. Here's a short list... Peter said to them: “Repent, and let each one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the free gift of the holy spirit.” (Acts 2:38) “With that he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they requested him to stay for some days.” (Acts 10:48) “But when they believed Philip, who was declaring the good news of the Kingdom of God and of the name of Jesus Christ, both men and women were getting baptized.” (Acts 8:12) “Or do you not know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?” (Romans 6:3) “On hearing this, they got baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.” (Acts 19:5) The Catholic Encyclopedia, II, page 263: “The baptismal formula was changed from the name of Jesus Christ to the words Father, Son, and Holy Spirit by the Catholic Church in the second century.” Catholic Catechism - “Into Christ. The Bible tells us that Christians were baptized into Christ (no. 6). They belong to Christ. The Acts of the Apostles (2:38; 8:16; 10:48; 19:5) tells us of baptizing “in the name (person) of Jesus.” -- a better translation would be “into the name (person) of Jesus.” Only in the 4th Century did the formula "In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit” become customary.” Source: Kersten, J.

Brother Rando's Detailed Summary of Matthew 28:19 My findings of Matthew 28:19 in its' current state is that it had been altered and falsified by what the Apostle Paul called the Superfine Apostles in 2 Corinthians and what the Apostle John called antichrists in 1 John in the latter part of the first century. As the Apostles fell asleep in death by 100 CE, the Great Apostasy began. Matthew 28:19 was one of the first or the first scripture that underwent a corruption by what is called today as the Apostolic Church. Apostates of the first century whom left the teachings of the Apostles. Also known as the Apostolic Fathers of Christendom. These false teachers of the first and second century either knew or claimed to have been influenced by the Twelve Apostles. All the while, being oppossers of the Apostles with smooth words to carry off their prey. It became the foundation of the Catholic Church. The formula found at Matthew 28:19 sticks out of place using a triune formula for baptism. The problem is that none of the Apostles ever taught such a thing. "Whatever it is that you do in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, thanking God the Father through him." (Colossians 3:17) The wording is the same wording used in the Didache Chapter Seven and Verse One. An apostate teaching that was introduced deceptively by the Superfine Apostles who left Christ. The Didache falsely claims to be the Lord's teaching through the Twelve Apostles to the Nations. Not only did these Apostates reject the Baptism in the Name of Jesus Christ, but you will also notice the denial of Baptism by complete water immersion. Also, you will see they have become like the Pharisees adding rules and regulations that the one being baptized is to Fast for one or two days. LOL.... at least they didn't say THREE days! Reading just a few lines, one can see how heavy handed this Apostate Church was with man-made traditions. Such big fat hypocrites! Can't get baptized unless you Fast for one or two days. Need to use cold water, if not, then warm. Need to use running water, if not, then pour water on the head three times! Jump on one leg and yell fly me to the moon! What a Cult! Therefore the finding of the current Matthew 28:19 is just as Fake and Spurious as the Apostates who put it there. The Didache is just one of many Apostolic Constitutions that served as the basis for twisting and altering the Bible. It shows the deceptive moral and religious conditions of the third and fourth centuries, not what the Bible really teaches. This Apocrypha satire should be exposed and dismissed as "the angel flying in midheaven has everlasting good news to declare to those who dwell on the earth, to every nation and tribe and tongue and people." (Rev 14:6) I look forward to the day to open up the New World Translation with the correct rending, "Go, therefore, and make disciples of people of all the nations in MY Name," (Matthew 28:19)
  20. Jehovah's Day is upon us... Jehovah's Day is a 'timed event' that will soon bring an end to all wickedness. (Matthew 24:14) The fulfillment of this prophecy was unknown to the angels and even Jesus Christ himself was not privy to the timing of this Great Day. (Matthew 24:36) Jehovah's Day is well prophesied in the Bible throughout the scriptures. It is linked to the Conclusion of Satan's Wicked and Violent World during the Last Days. Jehovah's Day is a transition period that brings an End to the Last Days and ushers in Christ's Millennial Reign as Christ's Political Enemies are brought to nothing under his feet. The trigger for Jehovah's Day to arrive is when the sealing process of the anointed is brought to its completion or until the last ones go through their final sealing while still living on the earth. “And I saw another angel ascending from the sunrise, having a seal of the living God; and he called with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, saying: Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, until after we have sealed the slaves of our God in their foreheads.” (Rev 7:2-3) We know that the sealing process began on Pentecost 33 CE with the outpouring of Holy Spirit. But could we learn of when the last ones on earth would be sealed? Only Jehovah knows the timing of the last one to be sealed, but the Bible does give us some very strong and convincing evidence. "He will revive us after two days. On the third day he will raise us up, And we will live before him." (Hosea 6:2) Applying this scripture to the anointed would help us identify Jehovah's timetable since He is a precise timekeeper. He has a timetable and we know Jehovah is not a God of disorder but of peace. "However, do not let this escape your notice, beloved ones, that one day is with Jehovah as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day." (2 Peter 3:8) When scripture is allowed to interpret scripture, scriptural answers start jumping off the inspired pages. There is no need for guesswork. By piecing the scriptures together like a jigsaw puzzle we begin to see a full picture. (33 CE + 2000 yrs = 2033 CE) See how (Hosea 6:2) is making more sense to the timing of the spiritual temple of the 144,000 being completed and raised up in the third day? Now, are we seeing why the Governing Body keeps asking us, "Could this be our last memorial?" Can we expect Jehovah's Day to begin after the sealing process ends? Yes, we can. Matter of fact, the scriptures counsel us to Keep in Expectation of it! We read: “The vision is yet for the appointed time, and it keeps panting on to the end, and it will not tell a lie. Even if it should delay, keep in expectation of it; for it will without fail come true. It will not be late.” (Habakkuk 2:3) What does this tell us? Jehovah's Day will not be late, we may not recognize it at first. After all, the flesh melting off the bones and eyeballs dropping out of the eye sockets is figurative speech as to what happens to someone who has been pitched into Gehenna or the fiery furnace. They die the second death without knowing it, an everlasting death of destruction. Oh... they will become hostile and vindictive, for Jesus states, 'that is where there weeping and gnashing of teeth will be.' The wicked simply die off, the scriptures go on and tell us, "All the peoples of the earth will have to see that Jehovah’s name has been called upon you, and they will be afraid of you." (Deuteronomy 28:10) We have no need to worry about a date, nor do we need to worry about losing our Kingdom Halls. We worship Jehovah with spirit and truth. (John 4:24) Nevertheless, the hour is coming, and it is now, when the true worshippers will worship the Father with spirit and truth, for indeed, the Father is looking for ones like these to worship him." (John 4:23) Serve Jehovah faithfully to your end and you won't have an end. Keep walking and remember Lot's wife.... Ready or Not, Jehovah's Day is coming... JW.org
  21. Presence of Christ Foretold (2x) 29 CE & 1914 CE Prophecies often unfold with two fulfilments. The first revealing of a prophecy is often referred to as a minor or physical fulfillment. The second revealing is referred to as a major or spiritual fulfillment on a much grander scale. Prophecies often are intertwined with other prophecies undergoing fulfillment and can overlap one another. However, each prophecy has a beginning and an end. They cover a specific period of time. The Prophet Daniel foretold the coming of the first presence of the Messiah. Not only did he pinpoint the year that the Messiah would show up but also pinpointed to the year of the Messiah’s death. According to the first-century historian Flavius Josephus, the nation of the Jews began looking for the Messiah in the second quarter of the first century. Some of the Jews were asking questions about the Messiah’s forerunner. Now the people were in expectation and all of them were reasoning in their hearts about John, “May he perhaps be the Christ?” (Luke 3:15) Daniel foretold the coming of the Messiah, so some were in expectation of the Christ. Daniel indicates this prophecy would cover over a period of 70 weeks. Seven days in a week so each week represents a 7 year period. 7 x 70 weeks = 490 days. Apply a day for a year. A total of 490 years from the word going out in 455 BCE. Daniel then discusses the time period leading to the arrival of “Messiah the Leader”. He mentions “7 weeks, also 62 weeks”—a total of 69 weeks. So 7 x 69 = 483 years were to pass before the Messiah would appear on the scene. Another interesting feature of this prophecy is that Daniel broke up the 70 weeks into 3 sections. The 7 weeks would represent the word going out for 49 years. The 62 weeks represent a time period of another 434 years making it a total of 483 years to pass before the fulfillment would be realized. The final week is the 70th week that would bring us to 29 CE as the final week. Jesus was about 30 years old when he presented himself for baptism to commence the work his God and Father had given him to do. But the last week, the 70th week, represents a seven year period. The last of the 490 years. So this time limit is from 29 CE to 36 CE. Daniel goes on prophesying about the time that the Messiah be cut off. “And after the 62 weeks, Mes·siʹah will be cut off, with nothing for himself.” (Daniel 9:24) What was the 3rd section of his prophecy? The last week which was after the 62 weeks. He was speaking about the 70th week, the time period of 29 CE to 36 CE. “And he will keep the covenant in force for the many for one week; and at the half of the week, he will cause sacrifice and gift offering to cease.” (Daniel 9:27) Jesus was put to death at the half of that week on Nisan 14th, 33 CE causing sacrifice and gift offering to cease. Daniel also announced the Conclusion or the Last Days of the Jewish System of things. “And on the wing of disgusting things there will be the one causing desolation; and until an extermination, what was decided on will be poured out also on the one lying desolate.” (Daniel 9:27) Does this scripture sound familiar for our day? The Jewish System of things was brought to its end in 70 CE with the Destruction of the Temple. We can learn much from digging into scripture how Jehovah did things in the past by the means of his chosen messengers. My favorite is learning the things from His Chief Messenger Jesus Christ and how modest and humble he actually was. He was considered a ‘perfect reflection’ of his God and Father, Jehovah. It’s my hope that you get to know Jesus Christ as I have come to know him. Matter of fact, our lives depend on it. Jesus said to him: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6) In answer to the question, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your presence and of the conclusion of the system of things?” Jesus Christ himself stated; “Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father.” (Matthew 24:36) However, in the Book of Daniel, Bible Prophecy did point to a specific time period. Taking the time limit of 2,520 years and adding them to the time of destruction of the temple in Jerusalem 607 BCE, the timing lined up to the year 1914 CE. Jesus eloquently gave a plethora of signs that made up a Composite Sign that would occur in marking when his second presence would occur. “Furthermore, when you hear of wars and disturbances, do not be terrified. For these things must take place first, but the end will not occur immediately.” Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, and in one place after another food shortages and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and from heaven great signs.” (Luke 21:9-11) “And this good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.” (Matthew 24:14) Jesus Christ's Presence would not be fleshly but an invisible one, since he plainly gave his faithful followers signs to look for, his return would come in three phases. The greek word parousía is translated “presence” The greek word epipháneia is translated “manifestation” The greek word apokálypsis is translated “revelation” Since 1918 the epipháneia or epiphany are the manifestations of Jesus Christ Presence in Kingdom Glory. These manifestations are the signs causing all the tribes of the earth to beat themselves in lamentation or grief. (Rev 1:7) It’s not a future event but these manifestations are happening now and you are feeling them today. The end is not the end of the world as most think but rather the end of the last days that began in 1914. The end of an age of wickedness. After Jesus admitted of not knowing the hour or date of his presence and the conclusion of a system of things, he stated, “For just as the days of Noah were, so the Presence of the Son of man will be.” (Matthew 24:37) The Last Days of Noah were assigned an allotment of time and when that time limit expired, so did the wicked. Notice Jesus did not say he would return in the flesh but stated just as the days of Noah were, so the Presence of the Son of man will BE! People took no note until they were swept away. The days of Noah were 120 years in length. (Genesis 6:3) Could the last days be ‘a conclusion of the system of things’? Yes it can. The earth itself is not destroyed, however the revelation phase is poised to begin as the sheep or faithful followers of Jesus Christ are marked for survivorship to keep on living into Christ’s Millennial Reign as the wicked die off. The wicked die a permanent death like that of Adam and Eve and they may even complain why those who have been Named after the true God keep on living without sickness or illnesses. The Bible explains this time period of the final phase in this manner. “All the peoples of the earth will have to see that Jehovah’s name has been called upon you, and they will be afraid of you.” (Deuteronomy 28:10) There will be no need to preach to those who have been counted wicked after the Last Days have concluded. They have been abandoned. So the Last Days have a beginning (1914) and an end to them (2034). So how is it that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and the angels did not know the hour and date? It’s all about timing. Then he said: “Go, Daniel, because the words are to be kept secret and sealed up until the time of the end. Many will cleanse themselves and whiten themselves and will be refined. And the wicked ones will act wickedly, and none of the wicked will understand; but those having insight will understand.” (Daniel 12:9-10) “It was revealed to them that they were ministering, not to themselves, but to you, regarding what has now been announced to you by those who declared the good news to you with holy spirit sent from heaven. Into these very things, angels are desiring to peer.” (1 Peter 1:12) The sealing of the 144,000.pdf or read online @ https://en.calameo.com/read/006657809802ddcc1ef25
  22. No. Gog of Magog (Satan's Entire Political System of things) is destroyed in the First Phase of Armageddon. Then, Jehovah's People will be protected during this period of a thousand years for several reasons. “No more will there be an infant from that place who lives but a few days, Nor an old man who fails to live out his days. For anyone who dies at a hundred will be considered a mere boy, And the sinner will be cursed, even though he is a hundred years of age." (Isaiah 65:20) "All the peoples of the earth will have to see that Jehovah’s name has been called upon you, and they will be afraid of you." (Deuteronomy 28:10) "They will not cause any harm Or any ruin in all my holy mountain, Because the earth will certainly be filled with the knowledge of Jehovah As the waters cover the sea." (Isaiah 11:9) As for the second Phase of Armageddon, Jehovah will destroy Gog and Magog with LITERAL fire and consume the rebels after the 1,000 years. "Now as soon as the 1,000 years have ended, Satan will be released from his prison, and he will go out to mislead those nations in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together for the war. The number of these is as the sand of the sea." (Rev 20:7-8) So....after the 1,000 years, does Gog and Magog (Rebels) die off. They die the second death as Adam and Eve did, but they do not die off little by little, but rather they are destroyed literally for all to SEE. "But fire came down out of heaven and consumed them." (Rev 20:9) So what the difference? Jehovah destroyed Adam and Eve in the day of a thousand years he allotted them to produce offspring. "So all the days of Adam’s life amounted to 930 years, and then he died." (Genesis 5:5) Those who die during Christ's Millennial Reign are brought to nothing because Jehovah promised, "they will not cause any harm Or any ruin in all my holy mountain." But after the 1,000 years, the judgment day has concluded and Jesus 'hands over the Kingdom to his God and Father, when he has brought to nothing all government and all authority and power.' (1 Corinthians 15:24) Therefore, anyone rejecting Jehovah's Sovereignty will be destroyed literally. "But fire came down out of heaven and consumed them." (Rev 20:9) Summary: During the first phase, under the direction of Jesus, angels will “separate the wicked from among the righteous” and destroy them. (Mt 13:40-42, 49) Those alive who are 'wicked' when the Great Tribulation begins, die off. Whether the 70 or 80 years of lifespan are cut down in the same manner when Jesus destroyed unfaithful Israel to 40 years in the wilderness is possible, but we do not know. Not everyone will be the age of zero but may be of all ages even 80 or older. At any rate, their death could be sped up if they try to do harm to the Great Crowd. That would definitely speed up their death... instead of dying off. However, before the second phase of destruction begins. Jesus 'hands over the Kingdom to his God and Father, when he has brought to nothing all government and all authority and power.' (1 Corinthians 15:24) Since Jesus and the 144,000 brought mankind to Perfection in the manner that Adam and Eve had it, prior to sinning. Such one's will have the prospect of everlasting life. The sad thing is, they (Gog and Magog) choose to follow in the same footsteps of Adam and Eve and rebel with the result being catastrophic and instant. It's JEHOVAH himself that destroys them before an audience of Earthy and Heavenly Subjects. After all, isn't Armageddon associated with fire and the second death? To claim the wicked will not be destroyed after the 1,000 years have ended would be in error.
  23. Ahhhh... so you are admitting you are on the outside of our inner rooms. Looking for a way to sneak in? It won't work. Hebrews 10:26 For if we practice sin willfully after having received the accurate knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice for sins left, 27 but there is a certain fearful expectation of judgment and a burning indignation that is going to consume those in opposition. Hebrews 6:4 For as regards those who were once enlightened and who have tasted the heavenly free gift and who have become partakers of holy spirit 5 and who have tasted the fine word of God and powers of the coming system of things,* 6 but have fallen away, it is impossible to revive them again to repentance, because they nail the Son of God to the stake again for themselves and expose him to public shame.
  24. Again no scriptures. You learned from your apostate friends. You'll be removed from the Congregation soon enough. Maybe you already have? You're not a Jehovah Witness. Trying to fool Holy Spirit will not go well for you. But Peter said: “An·a·niʹas, why has Satan emboldened you to lie to the holy spirit and secretly hold back some of the price of the field? (Acts 5:3) You have certainly been embolden by Satan, but your pride blinds you and now the drifting away begins because you can't see the unseen things. 2 Corinthians 4:18 while we keep our eyes, not on the things seen, but on the things unseen. For the things seen are temporary, but the things unseen are everlasting.
  25. Now, this imposter uses No Scripture to support her wrong opinion. and claims she is humble. Yet, when the Apostle Paul pointed out that Peter stood condemned.. Peter did not condemn Paul but called him a beloved brother. Peter did not make a false accusation and claim Paul personally slandered him. Just like Satan, you refuse to be corrected and now fighting against Holy Spirit. I will not stop you. Go ahead if your pride is that important to you. Galatian 2:11 However, when Ceʹphas came to Antioch, I resisted him face-to-face, because he was clearly in the wrong.* 12 For before certain men from James arrived, he used to eat with people of the nations; but when they arrived, he stopped doing this and separated himself, fearing those of the circumcised class.t 13 The rest of the Jews also joined him in putting on this pretense, so that even Barʹna·bas was led along with them in their pretense. 14 But when I saw that they were not walking in step with the truth of the good news, I said to Ceʹphas before them all: “If you, though you are a Jew, live as the nations do and not as Jews do, how can you compel people of the nations to live according to Jewish practice?” 2 Peter 3:15 Furthermore, consider the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote you according to the wisdom given him, 16 speaking about these things as he does in all his letters. However, some things in them are hard to understand, and these things the ignorant* and unstable are twisting, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction.
