What kingdom do the sheep inherit?

scotoma

Once again Jehovah has decided to light a candle so JW's can see where they are going.

They went to great lengths to explain that feeding the hungry anointed, thirsty anointed, giving them clothing, housing and visiting them in jail means the preaching work (distributing literature).

This is indeed noble when you consider that the right-hand sheep do this not even knowing who they are helping.. If the sheep are oblivious of who they are helping they must not recognize these "least" ones as Christs brothers.

And what is their reward for unknowingly, blindly helping Christs brothers? They inherit the kingdom that was prepared for them from the founding of the world.

The new-lighters conspicuously avoid explaining what kingdom they inherit and how they inherit it.

Do they inherit the kingdom that flesh and blood can't inherit. (Romans 8:17)?

Or does that scripture simply mean they enter paradise on earth?

How can they go to all that trouble explaining that parable and not give some clarification of the manner in which they inherit the kingdom. Maybe Jehovah told them and they forgot to mention it. Or maybe that is something that will be explained the next time the "light" shines forth on the progressive revelation.

You've got to wonder why Jehovah didn't inspire the writer of Matthew to explicitly use the words "paradise" or "inherit the earth".?

The virgins have run out of oil in their lamps.

Parable: a usually short fictitious story that illustrates a moral attitude or a religious principle.

Prophecy: the inspired declaration of divine will and purpose.

Illustration: a picture or diagram that helps make something clear.

So the WTB&T$ throughout these articles called these stories alternately illustrations and parables (which are two completely different things) and applied them as if they were prophecy.

As for sheep and goats, if it is an illustration, then it is simply a word picture to make clear that to be a sheep one should show the qualities of those who go to Christ's right hand. It cannot, by the WT own words, be a prophecy as they stated the sheep and goats were not literal. And it also cannot be a parable as then the story would be fictitious. (Of course we all know it is)

So people who adhered to the false doctrines of the WTS. and who helped to spread about those false doctrines are designated good faithful sheep (followers) worthy of everlasting life in paradise and the ones who didn't are designated as (evil) goats.

Wait ! but that goes against what Jesus commanded in how his true followers are to repel false prophets, so if you follow Jesus's direction your going to displease god and be killed.

Man this is confusing !
