Hi You Know:
I applaud you! You spoke much truth in your "last post" on H2O. Much, unrevealed "truth" as written by Prophets of old, from God's Word the Bible.
For example, this quote.
I have been aware for some time that the numerous prophecies in Isaiah, which the Watchtower always applies to the clergy of Christendom, actually apply to spiritual Israel, to Jehovah's Witnesses.
This is a profound truth! This is the key to truly understanding the Bible itself. And God has opened your eyes to see this "Sacred Secret of God according to the good news which he declared to his own slaves the prophets." You now know, yes the "message", the "thing heard," the "report" as told by the Prophets of old. -- Acts 3:21, 24; Revelation 10:7; also see the expresssion the "thing heard" under footnote Large Print Ref. Bible as "the Report" in Isaiah 28:9, 19; 53:1; John 12:38.
You spoke freely about Isaiah 28th chapter. You will see verses 9 and 19 of that same chapter also speak of "the Report", as the "thing heard." The "thing heard," is the message about the coming "northerner" of the book of Joel. Yes, the same attack of the "locust" that you referred to in Joel 2:20...the "northerner."
If you read Joel 2:20-32, you will see the same nation who is attacked, "Israel," is later "restored" to God's favor, and given a outpouring of God's Holy Spirit upon themselves, as a nation.
Yes, this is the nation of Jehovah's Witnesses, as you have so eloquently stated, that are in need of this discipline, and spiritual restoration.
I have been aware for some time that the numerous prophecies in Isaiah, which the Watchtower always applies to the clergy of Christendom, actually apply to spiritual Israel, to Jehovah's Witnesses.
For the past 10 years, from 1991 to the present, TWMC Publishing has been saying this very same thing. And since 1994, TWMC Publishing released a publication called "The Report" that documents this very viewpoint. On the outer cover of the book, it states:
"Jehovah's Witnesses as Modern-Day Israel - Destined to "Fall" and be "Restored" according to Bible Prophecy.

With the spiritual demise and collapse of the nation of the Jehovah's Witnesses on earth today as we now them today, the terrible fulfillment of the words of Jeremiah 9:25, 26 now lay before us all.
It states:
"Look! days are coming," is the utterance of Jehovah, "and I WILL HOLD AN ACCOUNTING with everyone circumcised [but still] in uncircumcision ["Israel, Jehovah's Witnesses], upon Egypt and upon Judah and upon Edom and upon the sons of Ammon and upon Moab and upon all those with hair clipped at the temples who are dwelling in the wilderness; for ALL THE NATIONS ARE UNCIRCUMCISED, and ALL THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL [JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES] ARE UNCIRCUMCISED IN HEART."
All of them...the whole nation, and all the nations...before Jehovah. This is the way the world now looks to Jehovah God. Everybody is wrong before him...everyone is spiritually unclean before Him...
In other words, as Jesus put it:
"...Righteous Father, the world has, indeed, NOT come to know you..." -- John 17:25
No one, "Israel," nor any other nation for that matter, yes actually "knows Jehovah," as we should, and as we were supposed to, on the basis of the "New Covenant." -- See Jeremiah 31:34; Hebrews 8:11
It is my sincere hope that you are able to muster the faith necessary to pass that final test. I now commit you to Jehovah and our Lord Christ Jesus for their coming inspection. / You Know
This is our prayer also.
Take Care, my brother...
