To the Household of God, Israel, and all who go with... may you have peace!
May you have ears to hear...
"Then I saw another beast, coming out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon. He exercised all the authority of the first beast on his behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. And he performed great and miraculous signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to earth in full view of men. Because of the signs he was given power to do on behalf of the first beast, he deceived the inhabitants of the earth. He ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. He was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name." Revelation 13:11-17

I know a post on this matter (the idolization of the WT) was made elsewhere (although I have not yet seen it); however, I was compelled by the Spirit to post this particular message regarding that here, along with the admonition and wish for those with eyes and ears to see and hear the TRUTH as to the beast that comes "out of the earth," and the "image" of the "first beast" that it establishes.
The identity of the "dragon which stood on the shore of the sea," and the beast "coming out of the sea... [with] ten horns and seven heads, [and] ten crowns on his horns, and on each head a blasphemous name" is for another post, my Lord permitting me to share it again. For now, however, this is what I am directed to post, along with the admonition for those with ears to hear the Spirit as to this "image"... who gives it authority and for what purpose... as well as that Spirit's admonition, along with the Bride, to "Come! Take LIFE'S 'water'... FREE!"
YOUR servant, as I am servant to ALL those of the Household of God, Israel, and those who go with... and a slave of JAHESHUA MISCHAJAH, the Holy One of Israel, who is the Holy Spirit and Son and Christ of the MOST Holy One of Israel, JAH of Armies...
