"This Good News Of The Kingdom Will Be Preached"...
Follow up, to the "Faithful And Discreet Slave."
Many of those today, was you to show them, that the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses, was not the Faithful and Discreet Slave of the Parable in Matthew 24:45, would turn to Matthew 24:14 and further identify the Governing Body as this slave in question, by bragging that 'they are the only ones doing this work of "preaching this Good news of the kingdom throughout all the inhabited earth for a witness to all Nations, and then the end would come." But where in the composite sign of the presence of Christ is any Organization belonging to Jehovah God mentioned? All that Jesus foretold was the prevalence of false Prophets on the earth at that time. He mentioned only one, that might possibly 'mislead even the chosen ones,' on the scene at that time; but no true organization that represented the Christ. {Matthew 24:24}
It had to be, the 'evil slave' doing that work, in that they would end up 'eating and drinking with the confirmed drunkards, and beating their fellow slaves. {Matthew 24:48--51}
This good news of the Kingdom this class preached, ends up being the Good News of the Faithful Slave, or God's appointed Organization, God's mouthpiece or channel of communication. God's Spirit Directed Organization, but little good news about the Christ himself, and his power and position in his Fathers arrangement of things. Only their own power and position of this so-called appointed faithful and discreet slave. That is the main focus of their preaching activity. Directing everyones attention to themselves, and away from the Christ and his now high and lofty position, as the coming appointed reigning King of God's Kingdom.
They make claim that it is they that are gathering this great crowd that will survive the War of the Great Day of God the Almighty, and come through the great Tribulation alive as survivors on to the new earth. {Matthew 24: 21,22} {Revelation 7:9,14} They are seriously overlooking something. What is that, you may well ask? It is the fact that it is the Christ himself who does all of the gathering of this so-called great crowd, without doing any preaching work at all. It is the Christ who gathers, not only the few remaining ones of his anointed brothers, but also is the one who does all of the separating work between the sheep and the goats. {Matthew 24:29--31} {Matthew 25:31--46} It is the Angels that gather his few remaining Brothers, the Chosen ones, as pointed out in Matthew 24:31- Of these there are a small remnant left on the earth, according to the Apostle John in his Revelation. {Revelation 12:17} These are the final ones sealed in their foreheads, just prior to the outbreak of the great tribulation. {Revelation 7: 1--4}
It's true that these few remaining ones have the 'work of bearing witness to Jesus,' but they are 'scattered to the four winds, from one extremity of the heavens to the other extremity.' Not gathered together in any one place, as the Governing Body would have us believe. {Matthew 24:31} These ones are not in association with the Governing Body of The Watchtower Society. No one, aside from the Christ and his Angels would even know where these ones are, or even who they are. How would any be able to recognise these ones? Very Simple! These ones have been taught by the Christ, by means of the Holy Spirit. You would know them by their extensive knowledge of God's word, and their ability, and courage because of said knowledge, to speak God's word with boldness, to expose all of the false prophets foretold by the Christ, for exactly what they are, including, and foremost, the Governing Body of the Watchtower Society. Who doesn't frighten these ones in the least, the way they do, those within their ranks, who are threatened with removal for even to dare to contradict their so-called faithful and discreet slave. {John 14:26;16:13 {1 John 2:27}
So, those gathered by the Governing Body, are like sheep for the slaughter, with no opportunity for everlasting life as they have been misled to believe otherwise. To date, seven Million are going door-to-door, with seventeen Million waiting on the side-lines, perhaps waiting to be baptised.
Jesus warned about these ones who might possibly mislead the chosen ones, in these words: "Look out that you are not misled; for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, 'I am he,' and the due time has approached." Do not go after them.
Obviously these ones had a message similar to the Apostles of old, and even Paul warned against being seduced by these, in these words: "However, brothers, respecting the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him,' we request of you not to be quickly shaken from your reason nor to be exited either through an inspired expression or through a verbal message or through a letter as though from us to the effect that the Day of Jehovah is here. Let no one seduce you in any manner, because it will not come unless the apostasy comes first and the man of lawlessness gets revealed, the son of destruction ... " {2 Thessalonians 2:1--4}
When any witness of Jehovah, so-called, appears at your door, you are presented with an inspired expression in the form of a Watchtower or Awake Magazine, tract or other publication. You have a 'verbal message' delivered to you, in the form of a rehearsed presentation; sometimes very skillfully done. Paul Warned 'not to be seduced by them.'
What this, so-called 'Spirit Directed Organization' has failed to appreciate, is the fact, that Jehovah, at this time does not have an organization on this earth, claiming, as they do, that they are that Organization themselves. The Spirit has obviously failed to reveal to them, that Jehovah's Organization is now a heavenly Organization, unseen to human eyes. { Hebrews 12: 18--24} It is now, Heavenly Mount Zion, Heavenly New Jerusalem. {Revelation 14:1} { Revelation 3:12;21:2,10} This is the 'City of the living God.' The reason why Paul penned the following: ..."hope that is seen is not hope, for when a man sees a thing, does he hope for it? But if we hope for what we do not see, we keep on waiting for it with endurance." {Romans 8:24,25
The apostle Paul adds this, to that: "Faith is the assured expectations of things hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities though not beheld." {Hebrews 11:1} In harmony with all of that, true Christian's today imitate Moses, who Paul tells us: "By faith, he {Moses} left Egypt, but not fearing the anger of the King, for he continued steadfast as seeing the one who is invisible." This one whom Moses was looking to, should be the one, we look to today. We also, should see the one who is invisible to all mankind. The World, will not see him any longer,' but the true Christian will see him in his glorified position at the right hand of his Father since the first Century. {Hebrews 11:27}
At John 14:19 Jesus tells us that the , "World will behold me no more' ... Was it to be true that the Christ really did have an Organization on this earth now, in a sense the World would behold him,would they not? The reality would be beheld. The 'evident demonstration' Paul was speaking about the World in general would not discern, would be discerable to them.
Someone might now point to the parable of the Mina's, and apply that parable to the Governing Body of the Watchtower Society, but that parable did not point to the evil slave; it was directed at, those ones who was really given the true knowledge, whereby one was a picture of some who did not appreciate the knowledge of God's word given to them, one even going so far as to hand back what he had received at the beginning, showing his lack of appreciation for what he did possess to begin with. Each one, commensurate with the time and effort they had put forward, had gained even more than they had started out with. Each was at a different plateau of knowledge and understanding of said knowledge. Some with much more than they had started out with. Those, of course, with more, received their rewards of even more than they had begun with. While, from one, even what he had was taken away and given to someone with more heart appreciation of Jehovah's words of treasure in the Bible. The one who received the Ten had gained even more, through his business dealings, as was true of the one who had gained only five. The one who had kept his laid away in a cloth, had even that taken away from him. Two had viewed Jehovah's word as a 'fine pearl,' as 'silver and gold,' and they had known, maintaining that viewpoint would gain them the 'very knowledge of God.' This attitude is well rewarded! {Luke 19: 12--26} {Proverbs 2:1--6} {Matthew 13:45,46} This underscores the point of using what knowledge we do possess, that will show Jehovah how we appreciate what he has allowed us to learn, to the full. So, to the extent possible for us, we use our knowledge every day, in every way, so as to aid others in their search for the truth of the Bible. So, that they too, may gain this treasure, pictured by the Mina's.
So, this 'preaching of the good news of the Kingdom in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all Nations,' was not being done by any organization that Jehovah had appointed. Since all the Christ foretold in the composite sign of his invisible presence, was the prevelence of false Prophets; it could only be false Prophets who was delivering that witness to this World. Those, who, because of their extensive Bible Knowledge, might possibly mislead even the chosen ones. Happily! It's not possible to do that! {Matthew 24:24}
John shows us in his Revelation that none of the appointments to office come until the Christ actually takes full-sway over all of thie eath, not even to this day has the Christ receieved his full and complete reward, as earths ruling King. Neither have the Prophets, nor Holy Ones. In spite of that, this 'spirit directed organization' maintains that their appointment as the faithful slave came in the year 1919, while they do not hold that office at all. {Revelation 11:15--18} Not only have they over-shot-the - runway, their not even at the controls of the plane. It will be in their minds, that they are going to hear the words: "Well done, you good and faithful servant,' said his master.' You have been faithful in managing small, amounts so I will put you in charge of large amounts.' {Matthew 25:14--30} The converse of that will be true, for what they will hear, are these words: 'I never knew you! Get away from me, you wicked people.' {Matthew 7:21--23}
No! This Global preaching activity does not stamp the ones doing it as the one true religion. The reverse of that is true! It stamps them as the false prophets Jesus, Matthew, and Paul warned us not to 'go after,' 'not to be deluded' by them, because they could 'mislead, if possible, even the chosen ones.'
