To the Household of God, Israel, and all who go with... and others who are interested... may you all have peace!
During last night's discourse, the speaker (from the "Patterson Educational Center", which is going to make what I am about to share all the more profound, because he SHOULD have known better, based on such "credentials") reiterated one the WTBTS' most serious errors, when he restated the WTBTS' position as to the "new song" sung by the 144,000. It was serious in that it reiterated the LIE that the Great Crowd is NOT of the same "fold" as the 144,000... which is a LIE... and in direct opposition of what my Lord is recorded to have said at John 10:16:
“And I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; those also I must bring, and they will listen to my voice, and they will become one flock, one shepherd..."
The contents of the talk excluded the great crowd from being "before the throne" (i.e., WITH the 144,000)... which THEY explain by saying that the "great crowd" is merely "in SIGHT" of the throne. This is a LIE... and my Lord has directed me to share with you how that is:
The speaker directed the audience to Revelation 14:3, which states (and I will use the NWT here, because that's what HE used):
"And they are singing as if a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders; and no one was able to master that song but the hundred and forty-four thousand, who have been bought from the earth."
He then stated that this refers to those who would be "kings of God's government" because of what is stated at Revelation 5:9, 10:
"And they sing a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll and open its seals, because you were slaughtered and with your blood you bought persons for God out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, and you made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God, and they are to rule as kings over the earth.”
What that gentleman... and by default, the WTBTS... totally miss... is that Revelation 5:9, 10 does NOT refer to the 144,000, but to the "Great Crowd." Here's why:
Revelation 5:9 states:
"... you were slaughtered and with your blood you bought persons for God out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation..."
The 144,000, however, are NOT bought... "out of EVERY tribe and tongue and people and nation." THAT group is the "great crowd", just as is stated at Revelation 7:9:
"After these things I saw, and, look! a great crowd, which no man was able to number, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues..."
Conversely, the 144,000 hail "out of every tribe of the sons of Israel!" (Revelation 7:4) Thus, out of ONE nation... not ALL nations!
There's more, however. Those depicted at Revelation 5:9... "sing a new song." However, those depicted at Revelation 14:3... sing "AS IF a new song." Some Bible versions state "something LIKE a new song." The point, however, is that there is a difference... and the WTBTS continually fails to STATE that difference because either (1) they don't know of it (my understanding is that some DO), or (2) if goes totally against their FALSE TEACHING that the two groups are SEPARATE and in SEPARATE places. This, too, IS A LIE. Here's why:
The reason the group at Revelation 5:9 (the "great crowd") is singing a NEW song... is because it a song of praise... to JAH! The Most Holy One of Israel was NOT their God - He was the God of Israel. However, by means of Christ... HE BECOMES THEIR GOD... and so they sing a NEW song: praise to the Most Holy One of Israel, JAH of Armies.
The reason the group at Revelation 14:3 (the "144,000") are singing AS IF a new song... is because it was a song they were SUPPOSED to sing... praise to JAH... and they FAILED to do so. So, although Israel KNEW the song... their rebellion, rejection of Christ, failure to praise JAH, etc., became the "song" they sung. NOW, however, in the Revelation account... they ARE singing that song... and in a way they never did BEFORE... so that it is AS IF new. But it is NOT new for them!
The speaker when on to say to quote the NWT as it states, "And NO ONE was able to master that song BUT the hundred and forty-four thousand." This TOO, is another LIE... based on a mistransliteration of the verse. The TRUE rendering of the verse is:
"And no one was able to master that song IF NOT the 144,000."
What does this mean? It means that because it is NOT a new song for them (they're just SINGING it AS IF it's new to them)... they CERTAINLY should be able to master it! It is song they learned... all the way back to Abraham... and so should have NO problem "mastering" now (well, when they are finally with the Lamb).
Finally, the LIE that the WTBTS teaches that these two groups (the 144,000 and great crowd) are in different places is shown by the FACT that BOTH are seen "BEFORE THE THRONE":
144,000 = "And they are singing as if a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures... and the elders;" Revelation 14:3
Great Crowd= "After these things I saw, and, look! a great crowd... standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes... And all the angels were standing around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell upon their faces before the throne and worshiped God... one of the elders said to me: “... who are they and where did they come from?” ... I said to him: “My lord, you are the one that knows.” And he said to me: “These are the ones that come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.That is why they are before the throne of God..." Revelation 7:9-15
Do you SEE, dear ones? Their teaching is ENTIRELY FALSE... a LIE... designed to "shut UP the kingdom of the heavens before men." Before YOU, if you have not yet responded to the call to receive the FREE gift of holy spirit! And before your LOVED ONES... including your spouses, your children, your parents! A LIE! Which could not only cost them their place in the kingdom... but perhaps even their eternal life. Because EVERY time they pass that plate and glass by... they "PASSOVER"... life! They have NO "blood" on the DOORPOST of their HOUSE... which is the body fo FLESH... the VESSEL... in which we, all of mankind... "reside."
Christ is the "Passover" Lamb, dear ones... for ALL. Indeed... for the WORLD. And, as he is recorded to have said, "UNLESS you eat the flesh of the Son of Man... and drink his blood... you have NO life IN... yourselves." IN... the "vessel"... that is your body [of flesh]. And when that vessel dies... the "life" that is IN it... will sleep... until it is resurrected. Question is: resurrected to LIFE? Or resurrected to JUDGEMENT as a result of having no "COVERING"... no WHITE robe?
Forgive my passion and zeal, please. I am not yelling, but emphasizing. This truth is IMPORTANT... CRUCIAL! There is only to be ONE law between Israel and the alien resident residing among her. ONE law. ONE hope. ONE faith. ONE baptism... and one God. With ONE mediator for all, both Israel AND those who go with her... Christ.
I bid you peace, ears to hear... and COURAGE to share this TRUTH with those who need to know it.... if you so wish it.
Servant to the Household of God, Israel, and those who go with... and to the world... and a slave of Christ,
SA, who has shared this truth with you just as I received it from my Lord, the Holy Spirit and Holy One of Israel, JAHESHUA MISCHAJAH, who is the Son and Christ of the MOST Holy One of Israel, JAH of Armies... my God and Heavenly Father.
