(A HEAVY MESSAGE OF DOOM FROM JEHAVH’S ORGANIZATION)

*** re 233-4 32 God's Anger Brought to a Finish ***
33 When the nations have been maneuvered into this situation by the croaking propaganda originating with Satan and his earthly agents, it will be time for the seventh angel to pour out the final bowl of the anger of God.
“It Has Come to Pass!”
34 “And the seventh one poured out his bowl upon the air. At this a loud voice issued out of the sanctuary from the throne, saying: ‘It has come to pass!’”—Revelation 16:17.
35 “The air” is the final life-sustaining medium to be plagued. But this is not the literal air. There is nothing about the literal air that makes it deserving of Jehovah’s adverse judgments, any more than the literal earth, sea, freshwater sources, or sun deserve to suffer judgments at Jehovah’s hand. Rather, this is “the air” Paul was discussing when he called Satan “the ruler of the authority of the air.” (Ephesians 2:2) It is the satanic “air” breathed by the world today, the spirit, or general mental inclination, that characterizes his whole wicked system of things, the satanic thinking that permeates every aspect of life outside Jehovah’s organization. So in pouring out his bowl upon the air, the seventh angel expresses God’s wrath against Satan, his organization, and everything that motivates mankind to support Satan in defying Jehovah’s sovereignty.
36 This and the previous six plagues give the sum total of Jehovah’s judgments against Satan and his system. They are a declaration of doom for Satan and his seed. When this final bowl is poured out, Jehovah himself proclaims: “It has come to pass!” There is nothing else to say. When the contents of the bowls of God’s anger have been publicized to Jehovah’s satisfaction, there will be no delay in his executing the judgments proclaimed by these messages.
37 John continues: “And lightnings and voices and thunders occurred, and a great earthquake occurred such as had not occurred since men came to be on the earth, so extensive an earthquake, so great. And the great city split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell; and Babylon the Great was remembered in the sight of God, to give her the cup of the wine of the anger of his wrath. Also, every island fled, and mountains were not found. And a great hail with every stone about the weight of a talent descended out of heaven upon the men, and the men blasphemed God due to the plague of hail, because the plague of it was unusually great.”—Revelation 16:18-21.
38 Once again, Jehovah acts unmistakably toward mankind, this being signaled by “lightnings and voices and thunders.” (Compare Revelation 4:5; 8:5.) Mankind will be shaken in a way that has never happened before, as if by a devastating earthquake. (Compare Isaiah 13:13; Joel 3:16.) This blockbuster shaking will shatter “the great city,” Babylon the Great, so that it splits into “three parts”—symbolic of its collapse into unredeemable ruin. Also, “the cities of the nations” will fall. “Every island” and “mountains”—institutions and organizations that seem so permanent in this system—will go. “A great hail,” much greater than that which afflicted Egypt during the seventh plague, with each hailstone weighing about a talent, will pummel mankind painfully. (Exodus 9:22-26) This punishing downpour of congealed waters likely pictures unusually heavy verbal expressions of Jehovah’s judgments, signaling that the end of this system of things has arrived at last! Jehovah could well use literal hail too in his destructive work.—Job 38:22, 23.
39 Thus, Satan’s world will meet up with Jehovah’s righteous judgment. To the end, most of humankind will continue to defy and blaspheme God. As with Pharaoh of old, their hearts will not be softened by the repeated plagues or by the final death-dealing culmination of those plagues. (Exodus 11:9, 10) There will be no last-minute, large-scale change of heart. With their dying breath, they will rail against the God who declares: “They will have to know that I am Jehovah.” (Ezekiel 38:23) Nevertheless, the sovereignty of Jehovah God the Almighty will have been vindicated.

Well, isn't this a little gem?

When Ray Gwiazdowski was our Circuit Overseer, he gave a talk. Called something corny like 'How will we know when Armeggeddon has started?'

He opened this question up to the audience, and everyone gave their thoughts on it!

"When Babylon the Great turns on JWs" etc etc.

NO Ray boomed. "We will know when Armeggeddon starts because [b]The Faithful and Discreet Slave will tell us when it's started!"

So I ask you, why is it when I called Society HQs the other day to ask if Armeggeddon had started, they had to put me on hold and 'check.'

And why was I referred to the Service Department, where the 'brother' who answered told me to 'obtain a Revelation book and read the last few chapters. I would be able to figure it out for myself?

Hello Wiltshire,

thanks for the post.

As horrible, shocking, cruel the attack was on American

ground,aimed at thousands of normal people,

I don't think the WTS can use to

further their own ...ideas and opinions!

Let's wait and see what they will come out with!

Greetings, J.C.MacHislopp

This reminds me of a talk given in the late seventies or early eighties on a Thursday night. They told us that when the preaching work was done we as faithful witnesses would have a new and different message to bring to people at the doors.It would be a "MESSAGE OF DOOM",it was called. They said the time would come that we would be told to go door to door and tell people that the preaching work was done and it was to late for them and to let them know that destruction laid before them because they rejected our message.
They told us that this would take great faith on our part and it would be required of us to deliver this message when the time came in the near future. They also told us that if we found service difficult now or weren’t very regular we better get our act together now if we wanted to have a chance at life.
I was a teenager and this scared me to death!! It took every thing I had to deliver their original message to people; I didn’t know how I’d ever make it.
We talked about this for a while. This kind of stuff really excited my mother!
Does any one else remember this? It faded out like some of their other stuff over the years.
This had cult written all over it but I didn't know it back then.

Gods anger?

Bowlfuls of anger? Donner und Blitzen!

I thought that Paul told us to put angry thoughts aside and love one another. Anyway, what have I done to make God angry?

Thanks for that revolting piece of diatribe from the WT and Bible. Gave me a flashback, but I've repressed most of it.

Ugh.

Yes I remember hearing that a long time ago. I guess they've backed off that one too.

Ranchette,

Yes, I remember it very well. When I lived in Muncie, Indiana about 17 years ago a group of elders and ministerial servants would meet almost every day at a restaurant for lunch. One day a witness I was working for at the time (Larry L. some of you may know him) said "I can't wait until we can go from door to door and tell these people 'OK we told you, now it is to late, you're going to die at armageddon'" As the elders sat noticably silent, I said, 'how can ANYONE take delight in telling people that it is to late for them, that they are going to die?' An elder stammered and came out with something like 'well....we don't really..take delight in telling them they are going to die...' I was starting to come down with that dreaded disease "independant thinking"

Borgfree,
I guess I was starting that independent thinking too.I could see nothing good or exciting about that message!On top of that we lived in a territory that was already hostile towards us.Doing things like cussing us out,pulling a guns on us,letting their visious dogs loose,getting the holy ghost& speaking in tongues,telling us that were going to hell,and coming to the door naked!! All this just because of our "good news." I was thinking of what they would do when we had to give them the bad news!
I'm so glad to be free of that unessessary fear.

Do you think it will be any wonder they just might be persecuted after they start doing this crap? Looks like they will be TRYING to MAKE the prophecy come true.
