Wednesday, July 7 You will come against them like a storm, . . . you and all your troops and many peoples with you. —Ezek. 38:9. God will not allow the nations to destroy his people. They proudly bear his name, and they have obeyed his command to flee from Babylon the Great. (Acts 15:16, 17; Rev. 18:4) They have also worked hard to help others flee from her. [...]
In the beginning, Jehovah created a garden of exquisite delight. It was a paradise of pleasure called Eden. In it God placed two perfect humans —Adam and Eve, whom he had created from the dust, that is to say —from the elements. God planted every sort of beautiful tree in the garden, each with its own unique, delicious, life-giving power. Everything in Eden was healthy and [...]
God’s spirit animates everything. Every living thing —from angels in the highest heaven to animals, birds, fish and alas, yes, man. God’s spirit is the spark of life. Every seed ingeniously encoded, be it plant or tree or seaweed was originally infused with life by the Spirit. No spirit, no life —as the scripture says: “When you hide your face, they are disturbed. If you take [...]
With the publication of Pure Worship of Jehovah —Restored At Last!, the Watchtower has seemingly installed the capstone. The structure is now complete. The masonic builders have masterfully fabricated, not merely Jehovah’s visible organization, but the very Kingdom of God. By cleverly placing the Watchtower organization as the manifestation of the fulfillment of every restoration prophecy there is really nothing left to expect or hope for [...]
Fraud, forgery, and fakery are very common. Fake news, lying politicians and scheming Wall Street moneymen are the order of the day. Commercial interests routinely misrepresent their products or in some other way intentionally deceive the public. Wars are typically started by so-called false flags attacks and a barrage of propaganda. On an individual level, it is rare to find a truly honest person. It is [...]
Jerusalem was no more. The temple that had stood for nearly 500 years lay in ruins. All the people were gone too, except for a few left behind. Many had been killed. The rest were led away to Babylon. The prophets had foretold Jerusalem’s fall. They also foretold that God would repurchase his people and restore them to their desolate homeland. This actually happened. In one [...]
"This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah says: ‘I am against the shepherds, and I will demand an accounting of them for my sheep, and I will dismiss them from feeding my sheep, and the shepherds will no longer feed themselves. I will rescue my sheep from their mouth, and they will no longer be food for them.’” - Ez 34:10 Reading the Pure Worship publication [...]
In chapter seven of the Pure Worship publication the Masters offer the Learners a few more lessons derived from Jehovah’s judgments against the nations roundabout Israel. As already discussed, despite the fact that a rather considerable portion of Ezekiel is devoted to the judgment upon Tyre the Governing Body offered no insight whatsoever into the significance of the king of Tyre being [...]
The 21st chapter of Ezekiel opens with Jehovah saying to Ezekiel: “Son of man, turn your face toward Jerusalem, and make a proclamation against the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel. Say to the land of Israel, ‘This is what Jehovah says: “Here I am against you, and I will bring my sword out of its sheath and cut off from you both [...]
In the 20th chapter of Ezekiel Jehovah poses the question to his watchman: “Are you ready to judge them? Are you ready to judge them, son of man?” Ezekiel was qualified to judge them. He being a Hebrew and a son of a priest, Ezekiel would have been knowledgable of the history of the nation and the laws that God gave them —laws that the Israelites [...]
