    A Prophecy You Are Seeing Fulfilled

    The May 1st, 2011, issue of the Watchtower Magazine for the public carries an article entitled Six Bible Prophecies You Are Seeing Fulfilled.

    What are they? The six are: Earthquakes, famines, disease, lack of love, ruination of the earth and a global preaching work.

    First, it must be pointed out that earthquakes, famines and disease are not separate, individual prophecies. They are simply different features that make up one complete sign – the sign of Christ’s presence and the conclusion of the system. Jehovah’s Witnesses are, of course, well aware of this fact, because that is what the Watchtower Society teaches. Evidently, though, the public version of the magazine is less straightforward.

    But there is also a glaringly conspicuous omission. What is that? The most prominent feature of the sign Jesus gave is omitted from the article – War. And not just war, Jesus foretold that nation will arise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and the second horseman of the apocalypse is given a great sword, so that peace is taken from the earth and a great slaughter ensues.  So, how many people have seen that aspect of the prophecy?

    Although the two global wars of the 20th century certainly could be described as a taking of peace from the earth and a great slaughter, still, the question is: How many people today have personally witnessed those wars? Ironically, this very week the last surviving American veteran of the First World War passed away. (See Back Page) And those who were alive to personally witness the Second World War are now senior citizens. The truth is, the vast majority of persons now living have not personally seen the most prominent aspect of the prophecy. As horrific as the death and destruction is in any war, the recent and ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan notwithstanding, these and numerous other wars cannot reasonably be considered as taking peace from the earth or as being a great slaughter. And obviously the Watchtower does not think that the wars today are a result of the fulfillment of prophecy either; hence, the omission.

    But here is the primary question to consider: Is it reasonable that the sign of Christ’s presence should be witnessed over successive generations, unfolding in piecemeal fashion, with some features being in evidence while other essential aspects are not? No, it is not reasonable at all. Wars, food shortages, pestilence and great earthquakes are to occur concurrently, thus making up a composite sign.

    The Watchtower is playing fast and loose with truth in other ways. Consider their number three prophecy – disease. The Watchtower quotes Luke 21:11 from the Contemporary English Version, which says “There will be great earthquakes, and in many places people will starve to death and suffer terrible diseases. All sorts of frightening things will be seen in the sky.”

    Why does the Watchtower not use its own New World Translation? Because the NWT and most other translations of the Bible, use the words “pestilence” or “plague.” Obviously, there is a difference. A pestilence or plague is a swiftly spreading disease that may become an epidemic or even the feared pandemic. But as proof the “prophecy” is being fulfilled the article cites various diseases like pneumonia, diarrheal diseases, malaria, HIV, etc., none of which are pestilential in nature. The last plague of apocalyptic proportions was the Spanish Influenza in 1918-1919.

    Finally, the ruining of the earth is not a Bible prophecy. Revelation 11:18 merely states that the time came for God to bring to ruin those ruining the earth. The nature of the ruination and the extent to which God will allow his earth to be ruined are not stated. The point is that those who are destroying the earth at the time God intervenes will be destroyed. The earth is being ruined, true, but it is still quite livable. It could be a lot worse.

    The Watchtower’s dishonesty aside, none of this is to suggest that the day of Jehovah is not imminent. On the contrary. The nations of the world are being pushed into a third world war, one that will undoubtedly see the widespread use of nuclear weapons, coupled with all the other aspects of the sign of Christ’s presence, ruining the earth far beyond its present polluted state.

    The irony is that the Watchtower Society’s predicament is itself part of prophecy. Imagine the pitiful situation of a man trying to find his repose on a bed that is too short and trying to cover himself with a sheet that is too narrow. In Isaiah that is the way Jehovah has described those who are the leading men of his people at the time Christ arrives for judgment. It perfectly describes the present spectacle of the Watchtower trying in vain to cover itself with its threadbare, 1914-invisible-parousia, blanket. It is a prophecy you are seeing being fulfilled!

    It's a mystery why more Watchtowerites can't see these glaring difficulties and inconsistencies. As 1914 recedes farther and farther into the distant past, it's becoming a major embarrassment. If people didn't question things before, it's about time they wake up to reality.

    Also, I'm sure for the lack of love "prophecy" they are trying to make it applicable to crime but it's spiritual lawlessness that Jesus is talking about.

    Some new information to peruse:
    China's move involving the governments of every country worldwide, (full scale international level) that sent
    US & European leaders/insiders rushing over to Shanghai begging the Chinese NOT to continue on their path;
    China has on October 14, 15 2010 made its "kill shot" move, & saved us from the NWO so far...China is "standing
    up: for the 'freeworld'

    Back in 2009, top insider bankers in the US had to pay China in gold bars for their bad debts.
    China drilled into the gold bars & found "tungsten" covered by a thin layer of gold electroplated...FAKE
    this led up to China kicking into 'high gear' to develop "THE PLAN" China is about to "flip the switch" against
    the NWO....there was an emergency summit meeting in Vienna, Austria in November, 2010, incl. royal families
    & secret Illuminati "royalty" to SAVE their plans NWO Fascist world government(CIA source & member of Rothschild fam)...check out sources on website: divinecosmos.com people are going through massive transitional changes
    involving psychological, physical, & intuitive dreams etc "the summit called due to a 'global police & intelligence op.
    closing in on their plans" China's plans to restore prosperity with its allies eg BRIC ..Brazil Russia India China

    Maybe the 'big' WAR will have to wait, until after the Nov, 2011 elections, with the new leader (Republican)
    "reports of wars" will continue..amid the global catastropies currently taking place...destroying our food sources, farmland & meanwhile "fake food" being produced by the NWO, ready to step in & feed the starving masses.
    So eat, drink & be merry for now, because tomorrow is in God's hands.....HALLILUJAH

    Watchman,

    the cluelessness of the WT-anointed runs much deeper than what you have uncovered thus far.

    First of all, there is no 'composite' sign with many 'facets' that Jesus gave His disciples - such interpretation of His words is an utter nonsense, invented by the spiritually blind WT 'eagles.'

    He merely provided a single sign that would occur just before the desolation of Christianity, one easily missed by the undiscerning believer.

    As to the sign of His presence and the start of the conclusion of the secular system of things, He clearly told us that this would occur only immediately after the great tribulation against Christianity has finished - the day and hour of which were to remain unknown until His appearing on the clouds of heaven in power and glory.

    This revelation of the Sons of God in turn, would lead to the global slaughter of 'Nation against Nation' and 'Kingdom against Kingdom,' as they beat themselves in grief at the realization that all is lost now.

    Instead of focusing on 'wars and rumours of wars' etc. - which have been and are still to come - we are better served by keeping on the watch for the disgusting thing standing in a holy place, because to most religious folk this event will pass totally unnoticed, until it is too late to get out of 'Jerusalem!'

    Ironically, out of all organized religions, the one most difficult to flee from will be the WT cult, whose followers will face the ultimate visitation of infinite justice with extreme prejudice for misrepresenting the truth of Jehovah God the Almighty.

    Just as in 66 C.E, many will return and seek shelter in the WT organization as the initial attack by the disgusting thing is inexplicably withdrawn as if by divine providence suggesting that God's judgment has passed them by somehow. But remember the wife of Lot!

    RE:"Ironically, out of all organized religions, the one most difficult to flee from will be the WT cult, whose followers will face the ultimate visitation of infinite justice with extreme prejudice for misrepresenting the truth of Jehovah God the Almighty".

    Well if it turns out that the WT cult is in fact the NWO religion, I would think that eventually they would become popular at some point and many people would eventually start flocking to it. Maybe even if it was by force too!
    Although I do find it hard to believe.

    It appears that the Watchtower and the Watchman are sharing the same bed and the same blanket. This is because the Watchman has retained many of the Society’s unworkable prophecies. The fact of the matter is the Watchman has moved some of the Watchtower’s “artfully contrived false story” into the future, giving them a “new” twist as it where.

    For example, the Watchman has no insight as to God’s intent of the “seven times” prophecy of Daniel 4, anymore than the Watchtower doesn’t. Nonetheless, the Society has correctly identified this time frame as a 2520-year period, extending from the first siege of Jerusalem by the Babylonian empire to the First World War.

    What we should take into consideration is the fact that the International Bible Students, as Jehovah’s Witnesses were then called, were in expectation of Christ’s immediate return after the expiration of the seven times. Out of this failed expectation, the Society developed what the Watchman calls an “operation of error,” which has identified Jehovah’s Witnesses as having an indistinct sound.

    The sensible thing to do is to get rid of this narrow sheet or “blanket.” Then and only then will the Watchman and the Watchtower have their eyes of understanding into apocalyptic prophecy fully opened so that no more will there be “an indistinct call” from our musical instruments.

    1 Corinthians 14:7-9
    As it is, the inanimate things give off sound, whether a flute or a harp; unless it makes an interval to the tones, how will it be known what is being played on the flute or on the harp? For truly, if the trumpet sounds an indistinct call, who will get ready for battle? In the same way also, unless YOU through the tongue utter speech easily understood, how will it be known what is being spoken? YOU will, in fact, be speaking into the air.

    The theological idea reflected above is in the reverse order. The fact of the matter is the nations are going to mass together as one against God and Christ immediately prior to their destruction by God’s incoming kingdom.

    Psalm 2:1-6
    Why have the nations been in tumult
    And the national groups themselves kept muttering an empty thing?
    The kings of earth take their stand
    And high officials themselves have massed together as one
    Against Jehovah and against his anointed one,
    [Saying:] “Let us tear their bands apart
    And cast their cords away from us!”
    The very One sitting in the heavens will laugh;
    Jehovah himself will hold them in derision.
    At that time he will speak to them in his anger
    And in his hot displeasure he will disturb them,
    [Saying:] “I, even I, have installed my king
    Upon Zion, my holy mountain.”

    Stone:

    The prophecy in Psalm 2:1-6 pertaining to the events after the revealing of the Sons of God, and Rev 11: 15
    ater they're called to "come up here" to Heaven to join Christ Jesus in celebrating the KINGDOM's inauguation, then crowned , dressed in "white linen" will fulfill Rev. 2:26, 27 .,alongside their King & Redeemer in full battle mode.

    You have sought answers in Daniel 12 before, so it remains to be seen, if after the 1260 days(42months)
    Wild Beast rule, when the IMAGE is set up, subjecting ALL to the mark of the beast....Does this take place
    on earth, whilst the Kingdom is established ? 1290 days mentioned, a month after the "2 witnesses in
    sackcloth" finish their work, and the separating work is then completed, eg sheep & goats, or have these
    prophecies alreay been accomplished eg. the separaing of the "wheat & the weeds" prior to the Gt Trib..?

    March 8, 2011 | Unregistered Commenterelena maree

    During the tribulation God's judgment will come in two phases, the seven trumpets and the seven bowls. The trumpets will put the whole world on notice that God's kingdom is about to be established and it will allow for the separation of the sheep and goats.

    It is during this time the symbolic Two Witnesses will be preaching in sackcloth for 1260 days. Then the Two Witnesses will be killed figuratively speaking. In actuality the wild beast will conquer the 144,000, killing most if not all of them and many others who heed their message. At this the world rejoices. –Rev 11:10

    Then the Devil will gather a large crowd of followers. He will gain enough clout to set up the image of the beast. (Rev 13 & 9) Likely, this will occur at the sounding of the sixth trumpet. It is at this time that the Devil or “the man of lawlessness,” will sit “down in the temple of The God, publicly showing himself to be a god.” --2 Thessalonians 2:4

    However, Daniel describes an interesting turn of events, saying:

    Daniel 11:44-45*
    “But there will be reports that will disturb him, out of the sunrising and out of the north, and he will certainly go forth in a great rage in order to annihilate and to devote many to destruction. And he will plant his palatial tents between [the] grand sea and the holy mountain of Decoration; and he will have to come all the way to his end, and there will be no helper for him.

    The end time king of the north [the Devil] comes out of the north is a euphemism indicating that God allows him to conquer the holy ones and subjugate all the nations. After the seventh trumpet and during the seven bowls, it is God and Christ who together comes “out of the north” and consigns him in the abyss for 1000 years and ultimately finishes him off in the lake of fire.

    March 8, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterA Stone Crying Out

    My question is regarding the "wheat & the weeds" Stone...seems logical that this will be taking place PRIOR to
    the outbreak of the Gt. Trib,,hence the 5th trumpet release of the Locusts by the angel of the Abyss, will NOT
    HARM those with the "seal on their foreheads" = "the wheat"...because the WEEDS will still b in the WTorg &
    Christendom, having been examined by the One who has been given the right to JUDGE.

    the 1260 days will b what Jehovah God describes in Jeremiah 1:8,9 verse 14 OUt of the North Verse 16
    "I will speak my Judgements ...they have left me: etc bowing down to the works of their own hands (idolatry)
    V17 YOU must rise up and speak to them, they will fight against you BUT NOT PREVAIL .....for I AM WITH YOU to DELIVER YOU.

    I do NOT believe that these "sons of the Kingdom" will be killed, but will be taken up just like ELIJAH into the
    clouds....or like Daniel in the fiery furnace, as a young man, with his 3 friends, for NOT worshipping the
    IMAGE of Nebuchanezzer.... there will b some true christians who will be delivered up for their faith.
    Quote: "God & CHrist together come 'out of the north' to consign the Devil for 1000yrs" Stone, does GOD ever leave Heaven ??

    If you are using the Watchtower’s vernacular you are not going to understand apocalyptic prophecy. To unlock the mysteries of Daniel and Revelation, you have to first discard the Watchtower’s prophetic language and interpretation of end time prophecy. You have to be willing to wipe the slate clean. That may be difficult for you to do unless Christ himself initiates this process in your mind. Likely, this will be the experience of the 144,000 prior to the tribulation and their sealing out of the figurative twelve tribes of Israel.

    Recently doing research into old newspapers online i came across this very intresting news article in july 24 1914 of Charles Taze Russell and the wording in this smacks of the questions of does jehovahs witnesses have connections with secret organizations such as the freemasons and knights templars.Reading this news article starts to make you think there is something going on here.Let me know what you think.Heres the article:

    CT Russell gave a talk in which he used masonic language to describe Christianity. For example, he referred to Christ as the master temple builder, etc. I read the manuscript, which I commented on on the old e-watchman site. Although Russell denied ever being a Mason he obviously knew quite a bit about it, in any case, his talk seems to have served to draw masons to the WT. The news article was obviously written by a mason. The extent to which the Society may have been infiltrated or is presently controlled by Masons is a mystery. Jesus ought to pull the cover back soon, exposing all the occult (hidden things) to the light of day.

    There's a lot of info about C.T.Russell's background on the internet, and the fact that his father was one, could
    have influenced his upbringing & future connections, his father was reported to be "on the board" of the
    1st corporation in Pennsylvania, and Russell was only the treasurer, another man was the 1st President...found
    this on Freeminds.org & maybe Barb. Andersons documents will reveal this fact....that Russell was not the 1st
    President. There were Freemason symbolism in the material printed in that ere,,,the Golden Age contained some
    and the Freemason Symbol of the "Cross& crown" on front page of the W/T. Whether Russell or his father were
    33rd degree Freemason is very doubtful, as that would be the highest degree of Satanism (worship)

    Stone: Thankfully the W/T vernacular & false information has been erased from my mind,,,eg never really took
    in the info relating to their dates of prophecy,,,,,wasnt ever sure about all that, & NEVER preached it, ever.
    The Revelation Climax book was very helpful in bringing in a generation of "sons" who would come to realise
    that most of the Writing & illustrations were from the "other sheep" class if that is really true...(2 classes)

    Ray Franz wrote the book called "Crises of conscience" that reveals (exposes) the real heart condition of those
    who represent the "f & d slave" in their own minds....frankly F.Franz "visions" have finally been exposed, as
    most of the false prophecies....I came in during the 1975 fiasco, & never believed it, then (dates)..
    You seem to challenge others insights,,,,out of your depth son,,,give it up....this competition of yours.

    "I was under the impression that you are an active Jehovah's Witness and are an elder? Please give more information to clarify this position. thanks"

    I was raised in the Catholic Church as a boy, having attended a Catholic school ran by Canadian priests. My dad was Catholic and my mom was Protestant. Later I was baptized at the age of 14 in the Protestant Church where my parents used to take me in New York City.

    After that I began to study the Bible with Jehovah's Witnesses. I have been attending meetings at the Kingdom Hall since the early 70s and occasionally use to give short talks in the Theocratic Ministry School.

    During my session with the elders to get baptized as one of Jehovah's Witnesses, I told them that I heard a loud voice saying: “I baptized you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” This occurred after a brief personal encounter with Christ a few weeks before while I was studying the Bible with the aid of a Watchtower publication. Likely the elders didn’t understand what I was saying, so they prayed for me.

    I didn’t end up getting baptized and I was given the boot from the Theocratic Ministry School. Nonetheless I still attend meetings (occasionally now) and I partake of the Lord’s Evening Meal since I am impelled to do so. In all of my imperfections and shortcomings, I just think I have an enduring love for Jesus. That’s all.

    "check out sources on website: divinecosmos.com people are going through massive transitional changes
    involving psychological, physical, & intuitive dreams etc "

    Hi Elena,
    Yes the master of lies has been very busy, so much so that he will even decieve the elect. He's the master of making what's natural into an occultic practice. As the scriptures say at 2 Corinthians 11:14 And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.

    The website divinecosmos.com is owned by occultist David Wilcock, who is a very clever New Age Guru who is spear heading the New Age Movement/Religion.
    Unknown to the majority they do worship christ but not the Jesus Christ of the Holy Bible, but their christ of "love & light lucifer. I know it's hard to believe but this is fact.

    The introduction to his website is a dead give away..
    "scientific and spiritual information about soul growth, Ascension and the evolution of consciousness"

    SCIENTIFIC AND SPIRITUAL? It sounds good but its pure darkness, the SCIENTIFIC is the natural based on Quantum Physics, but when manipulated with their so called SPIRITUAL you are then entering the spirit realm, which has nothing to do with the teachings of the Bible, but the forces they know as spirit guides or ascended masters.

    SOUL GROWTH, ASCENSION & THE EVOLUTION OF CONSCIOUSNESS? Again this all entices the ego, a trick used by satan in the garden of Eden "you will be like God" the New Age philosophy is that man is in his final stages of evolution this is the SOUL GROWTH, and very soon he will have reached his final destination and that is to be a god, this is the ASCENTION & THE EVOLUTION OF CONSCIOUSNESS.

    They worship their god of light lucifer (light bearer) because he set humanity free from bondage and taught them all they know the good and the bad, but the bad is all part of experience and not bad at all. This is how satan has blinded the minds of the unbelievers and some of the believers also.

    The whole Climate change scenario is what they use to spearhead their one world religious plan, they are also goddess worshippers, they worship mother earth, and see the avarage human being as fodder and which is destroying her, this is what the film AVATAR is based on, and serves their purpose well.
    As the scriptures say at

    Romans 1:25
    They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped and served the things God created instead of the Creator himself, who is worthy of eternal praise! Amen.

    Here is another quote from the same website..

    "David is also the subject and co-author of the international bestseller, The Reincarnation of Edgar Cayce?, which explores the remarkable similarities between David and Edgar, features many of David's most inspiring psychic readings, and reveals documented NASA scientific proof of interplanetary climate change... and how it directly impacts our DNA."

    The above is self explanetary, only the other day when I was in a sisters house, she was given a book about self help, and she was unaware that the christ they mentioned in the book was not refering to Jesus Christ, but the New Age one, there was quotes and mantras to read which all sounds good, but is so decieving.
    As the bible says, "quit touching the unclean thing and I will take you in" I hope this information will help anyone who is searching for answers. Draw close to Jehovah and he will draw close to you.

    Hello Shikinah

    Many thanks for your comment, yes came to that conclusion, eg new age" just after looking further, this site
    was mentioned in comment from Freeminds and just interesting about what the Chinese are doing, to work
    against the NWO...no way to be deceived, after leaving the B-org, there are no more "biggies out there" apart
    from the Gt Tribulation...do you look into Freeminds .. saw some comments there in your "name"..?

    Did the new age "self help" in the late 80's early 90's because of the lack of love in the WT&TS and all the
    doubts coming thru,,,because of lack of knowledge of the "secret society" that had consumed my life, in the
    name of GOD...no computer or internet in those days altho some in the 90's were leaving, due to discovering
    revealing "truths" about the LIES...etc. Did look up Sherry Shriner couple of years ago, referred to me by
    a born again Christian . (not Pentecostal, but believes to be part of the Bride of Christ) dont know what
    Sherry S. has got against the Apostle Paul,probably his comments on "subjection of women" in the cong.
    So many discoveries that could have improved life on this Planet, have been hidden and we know the
    Gov. of this
    world have been controlled by the "opposer,,,still he cannot destroy the True God's plans hence the "sacret secret" being fulfilled at this time of the end.
    In reference to the Climate change, carbon tax scenario is going ahead to reduce our countries into 3rd world, and as we speak, the "Asian Pacific Union" which involves N.Z. & Pacific Islands ,Aust, Indonesia, Japan etc have all
    been severely damaged since 2004 Indonesian sunami,,,earthquakes, severe flooding, hurricane/cyclones &
    we are expecting the volcano to go off in Venuartu, sending a tsunami across the Pacific to East coast Aust.

    Good for you, if you were to be baptised after 1985, when the WT changed the Baptismal vows, to being
    dedicated to the B-org, ( in place of the Holy Spirit) and you recognised that..."thrown off the Min. School"
    and interesting that you still attend meetings espec with regard to your comments about the WTB&TS...hope its not the WT Study meeting bec there is so much wrong with their interpretation of prophecy and the "study" is
    riddled with lies....do you feel compelled to 'answer up' to correct them..?? must be hard to sit through meetings
    after being "enlightened"

    Just like to refer you to Rev. 1: 17-20 Jesus if the beginning (Alpha) and the end (Omega) John 15:21 they do
    not know HIM that sent me

    Hi Elena,
    I can see from what you wrote, you too were stumbled by your Watchtower findings, when they don't provide the answers, you have no choice but to search for them, and sad to say it can literally cause you your life if you do not use your God given wisdom. Yes I also didn't find the love and came into the truth at 20 and never questioned anything, just accepted it as fact.

    But despite my turbulant journey and harsh experiences, Jehovah brought me through the fire, because yes I was badly burnt, and wouldn't want anyone to experience what I went through, that's probably why you saw some of my posts on Free Minds, if I can stop just one person from going down the path of so called "love & light" then thats a blessing.

    Satans out to lure Jehovahs stumbled and lost sheep, knowing their hearts are broken from rejection. Believe it or not I was so mixed up, I ended looking into pyramidology because of what I found out about Charles Taze Russell, what I had been stumbled by, I was eventually enticed with, thinking that the society had hidden deep truths by getting rid of his work, I was just trying to make sense of a religion that I knew was the truth, but was hiding work from the originator of this truthful organisation. And my journey from their took me on the wrong path.
    This is why I speak with such passion about false teachings, lies and the New Age movement, and the saddest thing is, ask any Jehovahs Witness what is the New Age religion? and they'll give you a blank look.

    No the organisation don't alert their flock to these dangers, all you ever hear about is Christendom, if they did, I wouldn't have to be collecting spiritually misleading books from a certain brother and sister, which didn't have a clue. They need to up their game and move on with the new tools that satan is using, instead of going on about Christendom and obeying the slave.

    Yes Sherry Shriner resonates with me, as I see quite a few things in the scriptures which she relates to, which confirmed a few things for me. But I think she's a pawn in the game, I wrote to her about the trinity once and she tried to avoid my questions, so yes she is a trinitatian and blinded to the true God Jehovah.

    These people are satans pawns, they mix a lot of truths with a little lie, otherwise his trap wouldn't work, Yes Elena the true secret is the sacred secret Jesus Christ and the carrying of the torture stake you MUST carry no matter how heavy it becomes, only then will you truely understand the love which Christ spoke of.

    I had a funny experience Friday, I tried to log onto Roberts forum and It was impossible, the site wouldn't even come up, a day later I remembered this site and tried to get in through the back door so to speak, and came across your post, and thought I need to contact her. After that the site started working, Jehovah works in strange and wonderful ways, and there was me getting all upset and frustrated because I couldn't get on Roberts forum, I thought they had closed him down lol. Yes Elena we are now living in the time of the end for real, we must cling to Jehovah with all your might and not lean upon our own understanding as the heart can be treacherous who knows it.

    Shikinah,

    Enjoyed your observations, and I have to agree wholeheartedly with what you're saying.

    Many religions today are oblivious to the new age movement of "Love and Light" creeping up
    behind them, and soon this will, in time, overcome such ones with a united, accepted relief
    as Satan, having carefully timed his "laying down of traps," becomes their "Saviour" and "Grand Instigator"
    of this new found light, whilst setting up the ultimate "safety net hoax" for when their religions collapse,
    and their wolf-like shepherds run for cover.
    "Satan in Christs covering to the rescue!"

    These will then merge with the world into the ever "increasing "Love and Light NWO" because these
    such ones did not have a "Love for the Truth."

    "To be Frank" thank you for your comment, but it's sad to say that we are definately the minority, not only within this vast world, but within the "TRUTH" for Jehovah's righteousness. This imisinformation is a deliberate ploy by the man of lawlessness, to deliberately pull the wool over the eyes of their disillusioned flock.
    They have been taught that the "great apostacy" had taken place long ago, when infact it's being reformed before their very eyes. while all along they are part of this very prophesy which is being fulfilled which they fail to see, and yet don't see because as Jehovah said "they loved it that way..

    Isaiah 29:9-13 Are you amazed and incredulous? Don't you believe it? Then go ahead and be blind. You are stupid, but not from wine! You stagger, but not from liquor! All the future events in this vision are like a sealed book to them. When you give it to those who can read, they will say, "We can't read it because it is sealed."
    And when they give the book to one who cannot read, saying, “Read this,” he says, “I cannot read.” The Lord says: "These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is made up only of rules taught by men.

    Isaiah:30.1 "Woe to the obstinate children," declares the LORD, "to those who carry out plans that are not mine, forming an alliance, but not by my Spirit, heaping sin upon sin;

    They have listened to men not Jehovah, their hearts have not moved them to search for the "real" truth as hidden treasure, for who is really the faithful and discreet slave who gives food at the proper time?
    but as Jesus say's at John 16:13
    "However, when that one arrives, the spirit of the truth, he will guide YOU into all the truth, for he will not speak of his own impulse, but what things he hears he will speak, and he will declare to YOU the things coming"
    Yes we need to heed Gods word the bible, and be on the watch as so much is unfolding right now.

    Can you telll me please, what does "Shikinah" mean, and if it has reference to God's 'light' ..? if so, why would
    anyone choose this for a "psydonym"

    Just like to comment on your remarks to Elena M. as above that has led into enormous 'diatribe'
    If you go back & read the comments of E.M you will find that 99.9% referred to CHINA and the NWO.
    Its interesting to hear comments from J.W.s who are still ensconsed in the WT organisation. They have a
    tendency to JUDGE .. anyone who has been in the WTorganisation for decades, & escaped the "cult" would
    not become enslaved again to a "false Messiah" girl, if you read the many comments from those who
    have been enlightened.

    But if you have perused the valid & thought provoking arguments presented by the likes of "PROXy" you
    will discover that those still trapped in the WTB&TS have entered a "time of judgement" and they will
    have to make a CHOICE about who they will serve....because the NWO will overtake them in the short time
    that is left of this system...having been on the WT "treadmill" myself it doesnt surprise me to see that many
    are on these forums to "save the lost souls of apostate WT" Really truth be known any JW looking &
    commenting on same would be disobeying instructions from the HQ..."Gov Body of apostates" to keep
    AWAY, touch nothing unclean (Internet) YOU who are carrying the utensils of Jehovah..

    When Jesus comes in his glory, it is then that he will separate the sheep from the goats. (Read Mat 16:19; 25:31-33) Needless to say Christ did not come in his glory in 1914 to effectuate the separation of people from one another.

    The commencement of the Great Tribulation will be the beginning point of this separation of people to Christ’s right or left side. This is why God’s judgment during the tribulation is going to come in two phases, the seven trumpets and the seven bowls. (Rev 8:2-6; 15:5-16:1)

    During the trumpets God’s judgments will be mixed with mercy allowing for righteously disposed individuals to take their stand for Christ and his incoming kingdom.

    The last plagues or the seven bowls will be poured out undiluted upon the wicked. (Read Rev 14:12; 15:1) These are the ones that didn’t have a love for the truth as preached by the 144,000 in sackcloth during the first 1260 days of the tribulation.

    victorius,
    I Iiked the name Shikinah as I once knew a little girl that had that name, yes Shekinah is Jehovahs light, thats why I changed the spelling.
    Im sorry if I came across Judgemental toward Elena, infact I was looking out for her welfare and others who may have visited the quoted site. Isn't that what we are suppose to do as Christians, is to warn others of impending danger?
    Who is "proxy"?
    Many things are like a two edge sword and can be used for good or bad and the internet is one of them. Touching the unclean thing was refering to the "New Age" deceptiveness disguised as love and light.
    I don't view those who leave the WTBTS as apostates, it's when you leave the teachings of Jehovah and disown Christ, that to me is apostacy, otherwise I'd be the biggest apostate going.

    To Be Frank,
    Yes people will definately not know the way out, and this includes Jehovah's people, who have put all their eggs in one basket "The Watchtower" instead of the sacred secret Jesus Christ, while turning a blind eye to the UN partnership and disfellowshipping of certain anointed & the ever extended 1914 operation of error. Their teachings have reduced the word of God to the observance of rules and encouraged spiritual pride which also be felll those at the time of Christs first coming,
    2 Thessalonians 2:11 And for this reason God will send them a strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,

    Matthew 24:42–51
    42"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. 43But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him. 45"Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time? 46It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns. 47I tell you the truth, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. 48But suppose that servant is wicked and says to himself, ‘My master is staying away a long time,’ 49and he then begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards. 50The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. 51He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

    Maybe those who have LEFT the apostate religions are truly "people for His Name" as their action denotes their
    faith...Isaiah 66:5 even being 'thrown out, disfellowshipped, shunned, victimised even brutalised (by marriage mate)
    all the hidden abuses that result from False prophecy, false prophets, devination and mind control , its easy to
    recognise the "dangers of the hidden rocks in their sea of iniquity" AFTER you are "free at last", so wisdom in hindsight prevails...as we continue to "press ever onward to the light of the promises of the true God, YHWH.

    Shikinah,

    I've just read your post on EW under: "2012 is not Jehovah's plan" and I would like to say that you're not wrong in your observations.
    As disasters continue to increase and the desparation of people becoming faint out of fear not knowing the way
    out escalates, Satans "annointed" prophets will start appearing, reassuring and misleading people into the belief that the "messiah" (Anti-Christ) will soon arrive to bless the nations with a "NEW age, NEW Love and NEW Light NWO."

    Its a bit like the movie the "Incredibles," the kids animated 3D cartoon, in which the villain creates a "wild beast"
    in order to ravage the earth, and then after allowing much destruction to take place, he then appears before all and proceeds to destoy his beast in order to gain the praise and reverence of all, all the while still remaining the Villain.
    That is exactly how the scriptures explain how Satan is going to act, more or less.
    That will be the true "hour of test" placed before all.
    We though who understand are not in the darkness but receive "true light" from our father Jehovah.

    Its encouraging to know there is some out there thinking along these same lines.

    to be 'Frank'
    Interesting you mention the movie "the Incredibles" in it, the villain creates a 'wild beast' in order to ravage the earth, etc he then appears b4 all, & proceeds to destroy 'his beast' in order to gain the praise, reverence of all, still remaining - the villain... and yes, I have personally read that the "Illuminati" and co-horts "skull & bones" Bildebergers,
    NWO have used hollywood movies to depict the end of our world..."independance Day" so many others and that
    they always make statement of their intentions, mixing some truth of their plans with counterfeit information.
    Meanwhile their "highly toxic chemtrails " while increasing in the skies for the alert observers, they're dropping
    all sorts of heavy metals & laboratory designed chemical warfare on us every day...look up HAARP while you can
    & be educated..

    Keep us informed of anything interesting eg the new DENVER airport, and the mural painted there..also th
    underground city, for the Presidents officials in the event that Washington is missiled or bombed. The documents
    and funds are already there...check out "Rense.com"

    March 23, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterElena maree

    Thanks Elena maree, and yes I'm quite aware of Haarp... etc.
    Satans prophets, ie. The Media; Hollywood.... have got this world believing in exactly what he wants them to believe.
    The most interesting lure he uses today is the lure of "choice," ie. "good verses evil."
    Which do we choose?
    Cleverly he conjures up global debates whereby humans are forced into making an either united or personal
    choice over what is right or what is wrong.
    Knowing the inner workings of such like the illuminati, we have to be on guard that we too aren't caught up
    in making such choices, for such deceptions, whether they seem to be the right or wrong choice at the
    time, only originate with the greatest deciever of all time, The Devil Satan.

    The only real Truth and revealer of fake "truth and lies" can only be taught through means of Jehovahs Holy Spirit.

    March 23, 2011 | Unregistered Commenterto be 'Frank'

    To Be Frank, "2012 is not Jehovah's plan" seems obvious to people like us who have done our homework. But since the start of 2011, so many things resembling the start of Armageddon, has had many believing that day is upon us, I heard many have been rushing back to the Kingdom Halls, falling for the same 1914 bait, that Jesus had set up his kingdom. I haven't seen the Incredibles, but it sure sounds like a preconceived plan in the making.
    Hollywood loves to toy with us, and put in our faces what appears to be entertainment, but in truth will carry out in reality. I think what you mentioned about choice is very true, satan has interwoven truth into all aspects of society, so as to mislead if possible even the chosen/elect. He has created a genuine matrix, which is like a maze, the deeper in you get the harder it is to see the wood through the trees. The truth is what we have been taught all along, "the WHOLE world is laying in the hands of the WICKED one" and what's more is that he literally has his seed which worship him and will carry out his deed, which is part of bible prophesy.
    Many cannot believe that such a wicked entity could work within the medical field in poisoning vaccines, or within government manipulate wars, thats why we must HATE the world, and everything it stands for, because if we don't when the hour of test comes upon the entire inhabited earth, we will be seduced by it's demise under the influence of the one world set up and it's anti-christ.
    Praise Jah through Christ Jesus that we see the light, and pray that through the holy spirit we can help others to do the same.

    While the Devil will have a 42-month period of authority over the nations to set up his one world government, it will not be over the world as it exists today.

    At the opening of the fourth seal Christ will selectively reduce the world’s population by one fourth and the first four-trumpet judgments that follows will seriously damage a third of the world’s global infrastructure.

    Under these conditions famine and disease epidemics will quickly spread, claiming the lives of billions of earth’s inhabitants. That is why Revelation depicts the symbolic two witnesses as preaching in sackcloth during this time.

    The futuristic dream of the nations of expanding their military wares into space is going to vanish. Whatever fire power they have remaining will be like firecrackers as they come to the end of their folly.

    So in a last ditch effort they will organize themselves into a confederacy of ten kings against God and Jesus, only to be crushed like the chaff from the summer threshing floor and blown to smithereens. –Revelation 17:12-14; Daniel 2:35

    Jesus will then proceed to take possession of the earth, his rightful inheritance, promised to him long ago, and transforms it into a veritable paradise, for all righteously disposed people.

    Revelation 22:1-2
    And he showed me [John] a river of water of life, clear as crystal, flowing out from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of its broad way. And on this side of the river and on that side [there were] trees of life producing twelve crops of fruit, yielding their fruits each month. And the leaves of the trees [were] for the curing of the nations.

    “. . . interesting that you still attend meetings . . . there is so much wrong with their interpretation of prophecy and the "study" is riddled with lies....do you feel compelled to 'answer up' to correct them..?? must be hard to sit through meetings . . .”

    Let’s see, I was married twice, first to a Methodist for three years, then a Seventh - day Adventist for eleven years. I have been single for ten years and I am afraid to get married again. My parents were married for thirty-five years until my dad passed away. Perhaps if I were regular at JW meetings I would have been married to a good JW sister. Then again, who knows? Funny thing is my dad was Catholic and my mom was Protestant and they got along okay. Do you think people will get married in the new world to come and have lots of babies?

    The answer to prophecy lies within the dead sea scrolls found in the caves of qumran. The only reason they survived intact is because of the unique conditions the dead sea provides by having a preserving effect. The people who wrote the scrolls, like modern day Jehovah's witnesses felt like the way of worship in mainstream Judaism was corrupt, they mirror modern day witnesses and this should be something to look into, I told watchman this years ago but he is not ready to examine these documents yet, if he ever does then all will witness the unsealing of the book of Daniel.

    Complite spiritual darkness in here... I mean on the articles writen on Your website.

    I am sure You many times will remember what Gamaliel hes said to the people like you:

    A certain man rose in the San′he‧drin, a Pharisee named Ga‧ma′li‧el, a Law teacher esteemed by all the people, and gave the command to put the men outside for a little while.  And he said to them: “Men of Israel, pay attention to yourselves as to what YOU intend to do respecting these men.  For instance, before these days Theu′das rose, saying he himself was somebody, and a number of men, about four hundred, joined his party. But he was done away with, and all those who were obeying him were dispersed and came to nothing.  After him Judas the Gal‧i‧le′an rose in the days of the registration, and he drew off people after him. And yet that man perished, and all those who were obeying him were scattered abroad.  And so, under the present circumstances, I say to YOU, Do not meddle with these men, but let them alone; (because, 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 perhaps be found fighters actually against God.”
