Jehovah Beautifies His People With Light
Jehovahs Organization Expands
Para 9. The worldwide Kingdom proclamation that began in 1919 drew in thousands of new ones to Jehovahs service.
Para 15. What a vivid prophetic picture verses 4 to 9 paint of the worldwide expansion that has taken place since 1919! Why did Jehovah bless Zion with such increase? Because since 1919, the Israel of God had obediently and consistently shed forth Jehovahs light.
Yeah right.... consistently shed forth lies! Forget 'Millions Now Living Will Never Die' did we? No wonder there was an increase, think up a BIG lie that appeals to most, and you will get an increase!
Para 17. How encouraging are the final words of Isaiah 60:10! Jehovah says: In my indignation I have struck you, but in my goodwill I shall certainly have mercy upon you. Yes, back in 1918/19, Jehovah did discipline his people. But that is in the past. Now is the time for Jehovah to express mercy to his anointed servants and their other sheep companions. The evidence that this is so is the extraordinary increase with which he has blessed them, beautifying them, as it were.
I'd just love to know how Jahs people were disciplined, anyone know how they might interpret that one?
