Who Supplied the food at the proper time?
My sole intention with this article is to prove scripturarly that the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses is not the Faithful Slave of the parable in Matthew 24:45. In fact, is nothing what they make claim to being. That they are not, God's visible Organization. They are not, the Faithful Slave, the do not have in their midst the anointed Brother's of Christ. The are not the Temple class! They are not God's Channel of communication. They are not God's Spirit Directed Organization. As I said, they are not anything they make claim to being. Their Watchtower Magazine is not God's principle teaching instrument, and no one should listen to them as though they were listening to the voice of God. They are not the Mother of all Christian's in their ranks.
Just let me get one of those claims out of the way very quickly:
25 Now this Ha´gar means Si´nai, a mountain in Arabia, and she corresponds with the Jerusalem today, for she is in slavery with her children. 26 But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother." {Galatians 4:25,25 NWT} OUR means all of the anointed class.
The Apostle Paul, was, for certain, one of the true anointed class. Did he tell anyone that he was the Mother of all Christian's? He said, "Jerusalem above is free, and she is our Mother." She was the Mother of all of the anointed class, according to Paul. So! There's one claim that's lying dead in the water, in short order.
What about this Spirit Directed Organization idea? In whose hands is the Holy Spirit now, and since the first Cerntury?
33 "Therefore because he was exalted to the right hand of God and received the promised holy spirit from the Father, he has poured out this which YOU see and hear." {Acts 2:33 NWT} This of course occurred at Pentecost equipping the Apostles to carry out Jesus command to Baptize people of the Nations, teaching them all the things he had commanded them. {Matthew 28:18-20} To that end they now had the gifts of the laying on of the hands for Baptizing, and teaching. Which they would never have done lacking the Holy Spirit on them, because the Holy Spirit was the teacher. Supported by these next four scriptures. {John 14:15-17,26;16:13} {1 John 2:27} Of course the Christ would be behind this teaching campaign, because he was the one that needed to fully open the minds of the ones being taught so that they would grasp the meaning of the scriptures. {Luke 24:45}
This is the main principle reason, the governing Bodies Watchtower Magazine could never be Jehovah's Principle teaching instrument, because, and this is really silly, but a magazine cannot open anyones mind. Only the Christ can do that from, his Heavenly vantage point.
Two points suraface here. One is the one hundred and thirty year record the Governing Body has established of failed predictions and false prophecies. First point is, they have not had their minds opened by the Christ to grasp the meaning of the scriptures. The second point is, they have not been anointed with the Holy Spirit, where was they to be, there would have been no such record, in the first place. I'll show you what I mean with this next scripture.
26 "These things I write YOU about those who are trying to mislead YOU. 27 And as for YOU, the anointing that YOU received from him remains in YOU, and YOU do not need anyone to be teaching YOU; but, as the anointing from him is teaching YOU about all things, and is true and is no lie, and just as it has taught YOU, remain in union with him." {1 John 2:27 NWT}
Notice this scripture! Read it carefully! The True Anointed class have all been anointed with Holy Spirit. It lives in them, and teaches them all things, with no error. No lie! Only truth. Was anyone to be truly anointed it would be virtually impossible to establish a record of 130 years of failed predictions and false prophecies. {John 14:17,26;16:13} What does that tell you about their claim about being spirit directed?
Whose got all of that Power in his hands? The one seated at the right hand of God, correct? So then, where is the Spirit Directed Organization right now? It's a Heavenly Organization now, isn't it? Where does John depict the Christ as standing with the 144,000 at Revelation 14:1? On Heavenly Mount Zion, isn't it?
Why is it now Heavenly? Because of the New Covenant, wasn't it? So, it's changed now hasn't it? What else has changed because of the New Covenant? If it's no longer earthly Mount Zion, then it is no longer earthly Jerusalem, is it? It is now Heavenly New Jerusalem! The Jerusalem above! As Paul had said. The following three scriptures will buttress my point, and definitely show, Jehovah's Organization, is now a Heavenly Organization, no visible earthly Organization is needed now. {Hebrews 12:18-24} {Revelation 3:12;21:10} That topples their visible earthly Organization idea. So far I think I've messed them up pretty good. Now lets drop back to the first Century, and examine the situation that existed at that time, when the Christ first came on the scene. What did he have to say about himself? Or rather what did he tell his followers about himself?
8"But none of you should be called a teacher. You have only one teacher, and all of you are like brothers and sisters. 9Don't call anyone on earth your father. All of you have the same Father in heaven. 10None of you should be called the leader. The Messiah is your only leader. 11Whoever is the greatest should be the servant of the others."{Matthew 23:8-11 CEV}
That's clear isn't it? He was their one leader and one teacher. As a leader where would he guide them? He said he was the WAY, The truth and the Life, didn't he? {John 14:6} So as a leader he would guide them along the Way of the Truth, correct? As their one teacher, he would teach them the truth, isn't that right? What did he have to say about what he had taught them ?
"I no longer call YOU slaves, because a slave does not know what his master does. But I have called YOU friends, because all the things I have heard from my Father I have made known to YOU." {John 15:15 NWT} Now! Let me ask a question! Who was it that supplied the spiritual food in this instance? Was it the Apostles? Was it any other of his desciples? It was none of those was it? It was of course the Christ! Who else? So, who was the Faithful Slave in this first instance? Obvious answer isn't it?
What though, about after his ascension to the right hand of his Father? Did the Twelve Apostles supply the food at the proper time? Making them the Faithful Slave Class? Now the Governing Body of the Watchtower Society, would very probably tell us they did, because they tell us that, as the anointed class they are commisioned to do that supplying. Could it be possible that the Twelve Apostles who all had their names inscribed in the heavens, didn't supply the food at the proper time, yet the Governing Body does? Where did the Apostles get their spiritual food from? From what source did it come? After his ascension?
"I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel I preached is not something that man made up. 12 I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ." {Galatians 1:11,12 NIV}
2"Surely you have heard about the administration of God's grace
that was given to me for you,3 that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly."{Ephesians 3:2,3 NIV}
All of the knowledge in Pauls Possession came from the Heavenly Spirit Realm, delivered to him by the Christ by means of Revelations. It came from no human source what-so-ever. So, Paul, one of the true anointed Brothers of Christ, didn't himself supply the food at the proper time, in the first Century. Begetting the question: "Why would it be any different now?" How can the Governing Body arrive on the scene, and tell us their Watchtower Magazine is Jehovah's Principle teaching instrument? Has a Magazine now taken over the place of the Holy Spirit, and the Christ as well? That's not only silly! It's down right rediculous. If Bull-Shit was put to music, they'd be a whole Brass Band!
Excuse the crude expression. But let's assume, the Governing Body was made up of the anointed Brother's of Christ. There's only a few of them there in Brookly New York, correct? All the rest are scattered to the four winds; from one extremity of the Heavens to the other extremity, according to Matthew 24:31. Those are the points the Christ gathers them all from when he comes into Kingdom power, Matthew tells us. Okay! Through the medium of their Watchtower Magazine all those that are scattered would be receiving their knoweledge, by a study of all those Watchtowers Magazines, correct? So, those scattered would be receiving their teachings from man, wouldn't they? By reading the material of a self proclaimed member of the supposed anointed class. But a false prophet. Think about that! Paul said he didn't receive his teachings from any Man, from no human source. That would mean, of necessity, that all those scattered to the four winds, from one extremity of the Heavens to the other extremity, were being misled, wouldn't it? Receiving as they would be their teachings from Man, rather by Revelations from the Christ. Reason being, the Governing Body are not what they make claim to being. But Jesus had said, those ones could not possibly be misled. They would be able to spot a false prophet from Ten miles away. So, the true anointed Brother's of the Christ would never join ranks with them. Even was they to start out among them, they would eventually leave them behind, and very probably on the run. {Matthew 24:24}
Consider now how the Apostle John received the entire 22 Chapters of the Revelation. Right from its source, on down to John. Important to notice this:
A "Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, 2who testifies to everything he saw—that is, the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ."{Revelation 1:1,2 NIV}
So, the Revelation, as we might expect begins with Jehovah. Jehovah FIRST passes it to his Christ. Christ sends his Angel to his Servant John. What does John do with it? He testifies to everything he saw, to the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ. So, John has the work of bearing witness to Jesus. As do All of the anointed Brothers of Christ. But notice! The Revelation didn`t begin with John, as if he were some kind of self exalted Faithful Slave. As the Governing Body claims they are. All Johns work was, was bearing witness to Jesus. ¨John 15:26,27 Revelation 12:17
What was that work, that neither Religious Christendom nor the Governing Body of the Watchtower Society, in spite of their claim as to being the Faithful Slave of the parable in Matthew 24:45 fail to see? Paul will show what that work is:
3 "If the Good News we preach is hidden behind a veil, it is hidden only from people who are perishing. 4 Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God." {2 Corinthians 4:3,4 NIV}
Notice Paul's Words! The Good News they preached was hidden.The Watchtower Societies preaching is far from hidden, behind any veil. That was a work a false Prophet had taken upon themselves to do, but not authorized by Jehovah. That is a work that is so public, it becomes very annoying to most. Naturally Jesus would foretell that, because he knew everything that would be going on during the period known as the last days. Because he foretold it, doesn't make it authorized by his Father Jehovah God.
The preaching work that the remaining ones of the seed of Jehovah's Heavenly Woman would do, was vastly different from what the Governing Body involves themselves in. The fact that they do, do it, shows that they themselves do not understand the Book they claim they are custodians over. The work that they are involved in identifies them as false prophets but they are Bible Illiterate, and actually do not know what they are doing. Or what work should be done at this time. What work is that?
Notice Paul talked about, the: "Glorious light of the Good News," for one thing. Then the message of the Glory of Christ who is the exact likeness of God." The message the seed of the Heavenly Woman would be preaching, was the "Glorious light of good news about the now Glory of Christ.' What was that Glorious Light?
We know that Jesus had finished the work his Father had given him to do! {John 17:4} We know too, he had conquered the World! {John 16:33} We know he had ascended back to the right hand of His Father! He had taken his Glorified position! {John 17:5} Because he had conquered the World he had sat down with his Father on his Fathers Throne! He had received his Crown as King of God's Kingdom. {Revelation 3:21} Does that sound strange to your ears? Why should it? He conquered the World, did he not? He was at his Fathers right hand, was he not, seated on that Throne at his Fathers right hand. Are you not A King if you sit on a Throne? You have just heard the Glorious Light of Good News, about the glory of Christ. He has been a crowned King ever since his ascension in the first Century. Holding, as he said: "All Authority in Heaven and on Earth." That all authority had been given him, even prior to his ascension, so he said himself. {Matthew 28:18} Here's a laugh on the Governing Body of the Watchtower Society, and their idea, that the Christ was only invisibly present in the year 1914./ Surprise, Surprise. More surprises coming:
19 I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power 20 that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God’s right hand in the heavenly realms. 21 Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else—not only in this world but also in the world to come. 22 God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church. 23 And the church is his body; it is made full and complete by Christ, who fills all things everywhere with himself."{Ephesians 1:19-26 NLT}
... "was existing in God’s form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God. 7 No, but he emptied himself and took a slave’s form and came to be in the likeness of men. 8 More than that, when he found himself in fashion as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient as far as death, yes, death on a torture stake. 9 For this very reason also God exalted him to a superior position and kindly gave him the name that is above every [other] name, 10 so that in the name of Jesus every knee should bend of those in heaven and those on earth and those under the ground, 11 and every tongue should openly acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father."{Philippians 2:5-11 NWT}
Tell me! After a reading of Pauls words in Ephesians and Philippians, that all of you shouldn't abandon the entire realm of Religious Christendom! That Jehovah's witnesses shouldn't head for those kingdomn Hall doors, and all of you run for your very lives, in great haste to fall on your knees before the only one who is appointed. He's your one and only chance at surviving the War Of The Great Day of God The Almighty At Armageddon. But you'll all have to bend your knees to the Christ, and only the Christ to do it. The Balls now in your courts. {Psalm 110:1,2}
Just remember! Jesus is Jehovah's only provision for gaining everlasting life under the Kingdom. It's Jehovah's way, or the broad way that leads to destruction. You choose! {John 14:6;6:44} {Matthew 7:13,14}
One thing you've all learned for sure. Jesus is no wee-Babe lying in any manger! You'll all have to scrap that idea now. Will you not?
Who supplied the food at the proper time? Who else? Wannabe
