Here are a list of scriptures pointing out for the anointed especially to be ready and awake for Jesus' arrival. Otherwise the result will be that the anointed is not taken to heaven, but is left on earth. Luke 17:31 “On that day let the person who is on the housetop but whose belongings are in the house not come down to pick these up, and likewise, the person out in the field must not return to the things behind.32 Remember the wife of Lot. 33 Whoever seeks to keep his life safe will lose it, but whoever loses it will preserve it alive. 34 I tell you, in that night two people will be in one bed; the one will be taken along, but the other will be abandoned. 35 There will be two women grinding at the same mill; the one will be taken along, but the other will be abandoned.” 36 —— 37 So in response they said to him: “Where, Lord?” He said to them: “Where the body is, there also the eagles will be gathered together.” Luke 21:36 Keep awake, then, all the time making supplication that you may succeed in escaping all these things that must occur and in standing before the Son of man.”: Matthew 24:40 Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken along and the other abandoned. 41 Two women will be grinding at the hand mill; one will be taken along and the other abandoned. 42 Keep on the watch, therefore, because you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. 43 “But know one thing: If the householder had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have kept awake and not allowed his house to be broken into. 44 On this account, you too prove yourselves ready, because the Son of man is coming at an hour that you do not think to be it. Mark 13:24 “But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, 25 and the stars will be falling out of heaven, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken. 26 And then they will see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. 27 And then he will send out the angels and will gather his chosen ones together from the four winds, from earth’s extremity to heaven’s extremity…... 32 “Concerning that day or the hour nobody knows, neither the angels in heaven nor the Son, but the Father. 33 Keep looking, keep awake, for you do not know when the appointed time is. 34 It is like a man traveling abroad who left his house and gave the authority to his slaves, to each one his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to keep on the watch. 35 Keep on the watch, therefore, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming, whether late in the day or at midnight or before dawn or early in the morning, 36 in order that when he comes suddenly, he does not find you sleeping. 37 But what I say to you, I say to all: Keep on the watch.” Luke 21:34 “But pay attention to yourselves that your hearts never become weighed down with overeating and heavy drinking and anxieties of life, and suddenly that day be instantly upon you 35 as a snare. For it will come upon all those dwelling on the face of the whole earth. 36 Keep awake, then, all the time making supplication that you may succeed in escaping all these things that must occur and in standing before the Son of man.” Mark 13:33 Keep looking, keep awake, for you do not know when the appointed time is. 35 Keep on the watch, therefore, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming, Luke 12:35 “Be dressed and ready and have your lamps burning, 36 and you should be like men waiting for their master to return from the marriage, so when he comes and knocks, they may at once open to him. 37 Happy are those slaves whom the master on coming finds watching! Truly I say to you, he will dress himself for service and have them recline at the table and will come alongside and minister to them. 38 And if he comes in the second watch, even if in the third, and finds them ready, happy are they! 39 But know this, if the householder had known at what hour the thief would come, he would not have let his house be broken into. 40 You also, keep ready, because at an hour that you do not think likely, the Son of man is coming.” Matthew 25:6 Right in the middle of the night there was a shout: ‘Here is the bridegroom! Go out to meet him.’ 7 Then all those virgins got up and put their lamps in order. 8 The foolish said to the discreet, ‘Give us some of your oil, because our lamps are about to go out.’ 9 The discreet answered, saying: ‘Perhaps there may not be enough for both us and you. Go instead to those who sell it, and buy some for yourselves.’ 10 While they were going off to buy it, the bridegroom came. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut. 11 Afterward, the rest of the virgins also came, saying, ‘Sir, Sir, open to us!’ 12 In answer he said, ‘I tell you the truth, I do not know you.’ 13 “Keep on the watch, therefore, because you know neither the day nor the hour. 1 Thessalonians 1: 9 For they themselves keep reporting about our first contact with you and how you turned to God from your idols to slave for a living and true God, 10 and to wait for his Son from the heavens,whom he raised up from the dead, namely, Jesus, who rescues us from the wrath that is coming. Philippians 3:20 But our citizenship exists in the heavens, and we are eagerly waiting for a savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, Romans 8:23 Not only that, but we ourselves also who have the firstfruits, namely, the spirit, yes, we ourselves groan within ourselves while we are earnestly waiting for adoption as sons,+ the release from our bodies by ransom. 1 Corinthians 1:7 so that you do not lack in any gift at all, while you are eagerly waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ. 8 He will also make you firm to the end so that you may be open to no accusation in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Compare that statement with 1 Corinthians 15:51 Look! I tell you a sacred secret: We will not all fall asleep in death, but we will all be changed, 52 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. Apostle Paul speaks about a sacred secret, a totally new prospect, the possibility to never experience death. He speaks here about two groups of anointed. One that has died before Jesus' arrival. Those Jesus needs to resurrect to heaven. The other group are anointed that are alive at Jesus' arrival and these will simply be changed from a material body to a heavenly body. Jesus spoke about anointed being alive to meet him when he arrives. And he told several times that the anointed should be ready to meet him. And if they would be ready and awake, he would take them along, that is to heaven.

Good that the GB finally begun to believe this scripture. I only wonder why did they not belive it right from the beginning? Is it not very easy to see what the scripture says?

@Arauna Hi, nice to hear something from you! And we should be cautious with examples in the OT (OldTestament). Jesus came with new commandments and much in the OT is not for Christians. The attitude toward money and richess is very different. Its like the OT's permission to divorce. There was a reason God allowed it. Much of the difference was because the light had yet to get brighter. And it did with Jesus' arrival.

I had gathered some scriptures about material things: Mark 10:21 Jesus looked at him and felt love for him and said, “One thing is missing about you: Go, sell what things you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come be my follower.” 22 But he grew sad at the answer and went away grieved, for he had many possessions. 23 After looking around, Jesus said to his disciples: “How difficult it will be for those with money to enter into the Kingdom of God!”y 24 But the disciples were surprised at his words. Jesus then responded: “Children, how difficult it is to enter into the Kingdom of God! 25 It is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God.” Mark 4:18 There are still others that are sown among the thorns. These are the ones who have heard the word, 19 but the anxieties of this system of things and the deceptive power of riches and the desires for everything else make inroads and choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. Matthew 6:19 “Stop storing up for yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal. 20 Rather, store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. 22 “The lamp of the body is the eye. If, then, your eye is focused, your whole body will be bright. 23 But if your eye is envious, your whole body will be dark. If the light that is in you is really darkness, how great that darkness is! 24 “No one can slave for two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will stick to the one and despise the other. You cannot slave for God and for Riches. Luke 12:19 and I will say to myself: “You have many good things stored up for many years; take it easy, eat, drink, enjoy yourself.”’ 20 But God said to him, ‘Unreasonable one, this night they are demanding your life from you. Who, then, is to have the things you stored up?' 21 So it goes with the man who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God.” 1 John 2: 15 Do not love either the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him; 16 because everything in the world—the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and the showy display of one’s means of life—does not originate with the Father, but originates with the world. James 1:9 But let the lowly brother rejoice over his exaltation, 10 and the rich one over his humiliation, because like a flower of the field he will pass away. 11 For just as the sun rises with its scorching heat and withers the plant, and its flower falls off and its outward beauty perishes, so too the rich man will fade away in the midst of his pursuits. James 5:1 Come, now, you rich men, weep and wail over the miseries that are coming upon you. 2 Your riches have rotted, and your clothing has become moth-eaten. 3 Your gold and silver have rusted away, and their rust will be a witness against you and will consume your flesh. What you have stored up will be like a fire in the last days. 4 Look! The wages you have withheld from the workers who harvested your fields keep crying out, and the cries for help of the reapers have reached the ears of Jehovah of armies. 5 You have lived in luxury and for self-gratification on the earth. You have fattened your hearts on the day of slaughter. 6 You have condemned; you have murdered the righteous one. Is he not opposing you? 2 Timothy 6:6 To be sure, there is great gain in godly devotion along with contentment. 7 For we have brought nothing into the world, and neither can we carry anything out. 8 So, having food and clothing, we will be content with these things. 9 But those who are determined to be rich fall into temptation and a snare and many senseless and harmful desires that plunge men into destruction and ruin. 10 For the love of money is a root of all sorts of injurious things, and by reaching out for this love some have been led astray from the faith and have stabbed themselves all over with many pains. Philippians 4:12 I know how to be low on provisions and how to have an abundance. In everything and in all circumstances I have learned the secret of both how to be full and how to hunger, both how to have an abundance and how to do without. 13 For all things I have the strength through the one who gives me power. Revelation 2:9 ‘I know your tribulation and poverty—but you are rich…. Revelation 3:17 Because you say, “I am rich and have acquired riches and do not need anything at all,” but you do not know that you are miserable and pitiful and poor and blind and naked, 18 I advise you to buy from me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, and white garments so that you may become dressed and that the shame of your nakedness may not be exposed, and eyesalve to rub in your eyes so that you may see.

@4Jah2me and@JW Insider The simplest argument to place the time for the ousting of Satan from heaven described in Revelation 12 is that it says "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.” When the ousting of Satan from heaven happens it will be from human stand point a short period before the end. Otherwise pointing out that would be meaningless. In addition the chapter 12 in Revelation talks about 1260 days and time, times and half a time. That period in the scriptures is closely related to the very end of this system. Chapter 13 in Revelation refers again to this period and tells about the persecution that will happen during that time, based on the refusal to take the mark of the beast and the refusal to worship the image of the beast. So those few years are really a short period even for a mature adult. In a figurative sense Satan did fall earlier. Every time Satan was defeated, it was like he had fallen. Like when Jesus' disciples started to do miracles, healing sick and expelling demons from people. But that was not the same as what Revelation 12 tells that there occurs a war in heaven where Michael and his angels make war against Satan and his demons and clean the heavens from their prescence. Luke 10:17 Then the 70 returned with joy, saying: “Lord, even the demons are made subject to us by the use of your name.” 18 At that he said to them: “I see Satan already fallen like lightning from heaven. 19 Look! I have given you the authority to trample underfoot serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing at all will harm you.20 Nevertheless, do not rejoice because the spirits are made subject to you, but rejoice because your names have been written in the heavens. I think it is helpful to simplify biblical concepts. The text might look complicated, but the reality should be so simple that children can understand. Or people who are not very smart. And really smart people could get lost in the complexity of the texts, while the reality is simple. Really smart people could read too much into the complexity and diversity of the biblical texts. That is why Jesus stressed that we should instead be simple like children. Because children are unable to think in complicated hypotetical and abstract or symbolic ways, while adults easily can go too far in those aspects : Mark 9:36 Then he took a young child and stood him in their midst; and putting his arms around him, he said to them: 37 “Whoever receives one of such young children on the basis of my name receives me also; and whoever receives me receives not me only but also Him who sent me.” Mark 10:14,15 “Let the young children come to me; do not try to stop them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such ones. 15 Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God like a young child will by no means enter into it.” Matthew 19:14 Jesus, however, said: “Let the young children alone, and do not try to stop them from coming to me, for the Kingdom of the heavens belongs to ones.” Matthew 18:1 In that hour the disciples came near to Jesus and said: “Who really is greatest in the Kingdom of the heavens?” 2 So calling a young child to him, he stood him in their midst 3 and said: “Truly I say to you, unless you turn around and become as young children, you will by no means enter into the Kingdom of the heavens. 4 Therefore, whoever will humble himself like this young child is the one who is the greatest in the Kingdom of the heavens; Matthew 11:25 At that time Jesus said in response: “I publicly praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and intellectual ones and have revealed them to young children. 26 Yes, O Father, because this is the way you approved.

Nice that Wikipedia has an article explaining simply what it is about. Here is the link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revelation_12_sign_prophecy

@Witness Why do you trust Pearl Doxey's explanations? What if she gets demonic visions, but she believes they are from God?

@JW Insider It is great that you have come to the same conclusion based on those scriptures. In deed it is not so difficult to understand that the heavenly resurrection has not yet occured. But will occure quite near the beginning of the 1000 year reign. But do you really think the vision of the four horsemen refers to all the time from the first century? I think the vision of the four horsemen begins when Michel, Jesus Christ has completely cleared Satan and his demons from heaven. Yes, I believe the war in heaven has recently been going on. I believe it begun soon after September 23rd, 2017. Based on the vision in Revelation 12:1,2 which corresponds to the celestial alignment that occured on that date.

I am wondering if Daniel 12:12 refers to the same happiness?: “Happy is the one who keeps in expectation* and who arrives at the 1,335 days". Well, maybe we have to wait and come to that time to be sure what that happiness is connected to. But it is a interesting thing to wait for.

I too, see the corona virus as a sign of the begining of the end time. But it is little hard to define when exactly the end time begins? The four horse men of the Revelation begins with the white horse, and its Rider Jesus Christ, then comes the red horse that symbolizes much war on earth. After that comes the black horse, that symbolizes a lot of famine. And then lastly comes the pale horse, that includes deadly plague. Well looks these 4 horses and their riders have just now begun to ride. So easily it could take 5 years before the end.

Revelation 19:1,2 tells: They said: “Praise Jah! The salvation and the glory and the power belong to our God, 2 because his judgments are true and righteous. For he has executed judgment on the great prostitute who corrupted the earth with her sexual immorality, and he has avenged the blood of his slaves that is on her hands.” After that follows the Lamb's marriage feast. Verse 7 in the same chapter: "Let us rejoice and be overjoyed and give him glory, because the marriage of the Lamb has arrived and his wife has prepared herself." At that time all the 144000 have to be in heaven, because they are the Lamb Jesus Christ's bride. And after that verse says 9 "And he tells me, “Write: Happy are those invited to the evening meal of the Lamb’s marriage.” And after this evening meal of the Lamb's marriage Jesus will come with the heavenly armies and destroy the wicked. Verses 11-21 are about that. And first the wild beast will be destroyed together with the false prophet. And next : 21 "But the rest were killed off with the long sword that proceeded out of the mouth of the one seated on the horse. And all the birds were filled with their flesh." But we do not get a specific time table for the length of all these stages in Revelation chapter 19. The heavenly resurrection begins after the two witnesses are killed and then after 3 and half days they get the resurrection to heaven. And people in the world will witness their resurrection. Revelation 11 is very specific about them, so they can not symbolize the anointed in general. But instead the two witnesses are litterally two specific witnesses, with a specific mission. After they have witnessed 1260 days they are suddenly killed by the beast that ascends from the abyss, the UN. And Revelation 11:8 also tells that this will happen in Jerusalem, in the same city where Jesus was killed. Could it be that the UN will after it ascends from the abyss be relocated to Jerusalem? That will be interesting to see, when the two witnesses begin their witnessing with powerful works, like prophets in the Old Testament. Yes first before the destruction of the wicked the two prophets will witness for 1260 days. After that they ascend to heaven. Then in Daniel 8:14 it says: So he said to me: “Until 2,300 evenings and mornings; and the holy place will certainly be restored to its right condition.” What this means I am not sure about. Could it be that from the begining of the two witnesses witnessing until the destruction of the wkcked it will take 2300 day? In that case it would take 2+ years from the destruction of Babylon the Great to the destruction of the final wicked. Daniel 7:11 gives an interesting detail about the time from when the beast with the arrogant horn is killed to when the rest of the kingdoms are destroyed, a time and a season. Does that some how happen within the 2300 days? I don't understand yet. Daniel 7:11“I kept watching at that time because of the sound of the arrogant words that the horn was speaking; I watched until the beast was killed and its body was destroyed and it was given over to be burned in the fire. 12 But as for the rest of the beasts, their rulerships were taken away, and their lives were prolonged for a time and a season. So according to the scriptures it could take around 2 years as I see it now from the destruction of Babylon the Great to the final destruction of the wicked.

Yes, based on Revelation 14:8 and 13 I can not understand it otherwise. Also this is in harmony with Revelation 11:18 "But the nations became wrathful, and your own wrath came, and the appointed time came for the dead to be judged and to reward your slaves the prophets and the holy ones and those fearing your name, the small and the great, and to bring to ruin those ruining the earth.” Daniel 12:1 “During that time Miʹcha·el will stand up, the great prince who is standing in behalf of your people. And there will occur a time of distress such as has not occurred since there came to be a nation until that time. And during that time your people will escape, everyone who is found written down in the book. 2 And many of those asleep in the dust of the earth will wake up, some to everlasting life and others to reproach and to everlasting contempt.

The book of Revelation informs that after the fall of Babylon the Great, the heavenly resurrection begins. Revelation 14:8 Another, a second angel, followed, saying: “She has fallen! Babylon the Great has fallen, she who made all the nations drink of the wine of the passion of her sexual immorality!” In verse 13, in the same chapter are we informed that the heavenly reward follows directly at death. So it must happen after the fall of Babylon the Great. "And I heard a voice out of heaven say, “Write: Happy are the dead who die in union with the Lord from this time onward. Yes, says the spirit, let them rest from their labors, for the things they did go right with them.” Then after some unknown relatively short period the remaining approved anointed will be gathered to heaven. This will happen when Jesus arrives with a very spectacular manifestation. Revelation 1:7 Look! He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, and those who pierced him; and all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in grief because of him. Yes, Amen Mark 13:24 “But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, 25 and the stars will be falling out of heaven, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken. 26 And then they will see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. 27 And then he will send out the angels and will gather his chosen ones together from the four winds, from earth’s extremity to heaven’s extremity. This is in accord with: 1 Thessalonians 4: 14 For if we have faith that Jesus died and rose again, so too God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in death through Jesus. 15 For this is what we tell you by Jehovah’s word, that we the living who survive to the presence of the Lord will in no way precede those who have fallen asleep in death; 16 because the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a commanding call, with an archangel’s voice and with God’s trumpet, and those who are dead in union with Christ will rise first. 17 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. 18 So keep comforting one another with these words. 1 John 2:28 So now, little children, remain in union with him, so that when he is made manifest we may have freeness of speech and not shrink away from him in shame at his presence. Mark 13:33 Keep looking, keep awake, for you do not know when the appointed time is.

@Witness Good scriptures to remember. When I was studying before baptism I took very seriously what Jesus said about helping Jesus' brothers. And I was very curious about the anointed. And it all made sense because at that time all the anointed were considered to be part of the faithful slave. And they were considered to have a much closer relation to God according to Romans 8. And the Bible says that they are first fruits. And that holy spirit is on them in a particular way and that when they read in the Bible about things consering the 144000 they feel it applies on them.

Yes, exactly. That scripture in Proverbs 26:4,5 directly popped in my mind as an example of that.

I have little bit difficult to understand this But, safest would be to speak and answer in the ways recommended in the New Testament.

@JW Insider Interesting comments. I just remembered a such scripture in Proverbs 26:4 Do not answer the stupid one according to his foolishness, So that you do not put yourself on his level. 5 Answer the stupid one according to his foolishness, So that he does not think he is wise.

JWs have heard that you can not be anointed if you are not sure of your anointing. But is that statement Scriptural? Or is it just something the GB tells to discourage JWs to accept the anointing from God? Just recently Antony Morris, GB member, spoke about that in the following video from the 3:00 minute mark. https://www.jw.org/en/library/videos/#en/mediaitems/LatestVideos/pub-jwb_202003_10_VIDEO I think many have had doubts about their anointing in the beginning. And that has surely been aggravated by all the discouragement the WT organization spreads about becoming anointed in these last days. It is like they are shutting up the kingdom of heaven before men. That is very similar to what Jesus said in Matthew 23:13 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because you shut up the Kingdom of the heavens before men; for you yourselves do not go in, neither do you permit those on their way in to go in. But this hypochrisy has been exposed. Maybe it happened accidentally in the life story of Ted Jarazc's wife, Melita Jaracz. There she tells that her husband Ted Jaracz, a former GB member, had prayed intensely about his anointment to be sure. So Ted Jaracz, the former GB member was not fully sure about his anointment in the beginning. So evidently it is very hypocritical by the WT organization, and now for GB member Antony Morris to tell if you have doubts about your anointing you are not anointed. It is just not that easy. According to Romans 8 :16 the realization of being anointed comes in the following way: "The spirit itself bears witness with our spirit that we are God’s children." The words bears witness indicates that it is a continual process. And for many it must be difficult to believe at once. But the spirit will continue to bear witness and by the time the anointed ones become more and more sure. This is what Melita Jaracz said in the WT about Ted Jaracz: https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2015686 "Something I particularly respected about Ted was that he never took his relationship with Jehovah for granted. He cherished his sacred service to the greatest Person in the universe. We loved to read and study the Bible together. At night before retiring, we knelt next to the bed, and he prayed for us. Then we separately said our own prayers. I always knew when a serious matter was weighing on Ted’s mind. He would get out of bed, kneel down again, and silently pray at length. I deeply appreciated that he wanted to pray to Jehovah about matters great and small. Some years after we got married, Ted explained to me that he was going to start partaking of the emblems at the Memorial. “I have prayed about this intensely to be absolutely sure that I am doing what Jehovah wants me to do,” he said. I was not entirely surprised that he had been anointed with God’s spirit to serve in heaven eventually. I viewed it as a privilege to support one of Christ’s brothers.—Matt. 25:35-40." (End of quote)

May be, I don't understand this yet fully.

@JW Insider It is good that we do not have to decide their fate. Jesus as the appointed judge knows which judgement or reward is best suited to each individual. But I just recently read a sobering scripture we all probably remember. Revelation 2:1 “To the angel of the congregation in Ephʹe·sus write: These are the things that he says who holds the seven stars in his right hand and walks among the seven golden lampstands: 2 ‘I know your deeds, and your labor and endurance, and that you cannot tolerate bad men, and that you put to the test those who say they are apostles, but they are not, and you found them to be liars. 3 You are also showing endurance, and you have persevered for the sake of my name and have not grown weary. 4 Nevertheless, I hold this against you, that you have left the love you had at first. 5 “‘Therefore remember from where you have fallen, and repent and do the deeds you did at first. If you do not, I will come to you, and I will remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent.

@4Jah2me This is really amazing! I told my wife that maybe there will never again be meetings as before. I hope the JWs will wake up and start to examine the scriptures seriously and search what all this could lead to.

Interesting news, because I have been waiting the seven headed beast in Revelation 13 emerge from the sea and get great authority from the dragon after one of its heads that had been deadly stroken, got healed. The deadly striken head that will heal, I believe is France after it fully recovers from the Yellow Vest protesters. The great powers of the political world could form a new kind of world authority for 42 months as foretold in Revelation 13. Yes, I have been waiting news concerning this. Hopefully this news you brought up has to do with that.

My wife, active JW, does not go to meeting today. She says meetings are canceled due to the Corona virus. Very interesting. A speculation rose in my mind, could this be the beginning of the fall of the WT organization. A soft start to the liquidation of the WT organization? The congregations would already had canceled normal meetings and then it would not be a big deal to close the headquarters. The situation is no doubt very special. Then the foretold flight to the desert could occure.

I know, I just wanted to make clear that for example the so called governing body should not deny for other anointed the possibility to be a faithful and diiscreet slave. They have reserved the fulfillment of that scripture already for themselves. Somebody more faithful and discreet might be appointed to take responsibility to give spiritual food for the domestics instead of them.
