Robert King discredits the WT Society’s 1914 teaching and in one of his latest essays has now attacked their ‘parousia’ theory that goes hand in hand with the 1914 teaching. Good job, you might say. However, he has come up with a couple of radical new interpretations that seem just as bizarre as the Society’s teaching about Christ’s presence.
He states that the ‘two witnesses’ (the remnant of the anointed) during the Great tribulation will literally see Christ, in a manner similar to the transfiguration:
“The two witnesses are also commissioned to prophesy, as was John, indicating that the John class is the same as the two witnesses. The designation of “two witnesses” signifies that they will have visibly witnessed the very presence of Christ, just as Peter, James and John visibly witnessed the transfiguration and John also witnessed Christ in the vision of Revelation.”
Furthermore, he feels that the anointed themselves will be literally transfigured, like Moses was when he emitted rays, before they are taken to heaven:
“The sons of God shining like the sun in the kingdom of Jehovah means that they will have been fully accepted into the then-established kingdom; and not only that, but they will have conferred upon them the very glory of Christ – a glory that they will then reflect to illuminate others – those who have not allowed themselves to have become blinded by Satan. In a miraculous manifestation reminiscent of Moses, the anointed will then be transfigured so as to radiate Jehovah’s glory in their own faces and in that way the sons of God will be revealed before creation as an earthly reflection of the glorious revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ.”
Pretty odd wouldn’t you say. Even fundies expecting to be taken up in the rapture would find these interpretations bizarre.

Ewatchman is just another guy with his interpretation of what the bible states. He is to creepingly familar to the watchtower with his crazy prophetic statements.
