Page 7 vindication of Jehovah?s name ?the new thinking is that God?s sovereignty is to be vindicated and that God?s name is to be sanctified

Similarly, for a long time, Witnesses spoke of the vindication of Jehovah?s name. But had Satan called Jehovah?s name into question? For that matter, had any of Satan?s agents done so, as if Jehovah did not have a right to that name? No, not at all. It was not the name of Jehovah that was challenged and that needed to be vindicated. That is why the Watch Tower Society?s recent publications do not speak of Jehovah?s name as being vindicated. They speak of Jehovah?s sovereignty as being vindicated and of his name as being sanctified. This is in keeping with what Jesus told us to pray: "Let your name be sanctified." (Matthew 6:9)
Page 7 Shortly after World War I?during this period Jesus Christ, along with his holy angels, has been separating lovers of righteousness (sheep) from those who are indifferent to, or who actively oppose.
In 1999 the WTS pointed out that the separating work does not start until the great tribulation.
w99 5/1 p. 13 "These Things Must Take Place" ***
Note that Matthew 24:29-31 foretells that (1) the Son of man comes, (2) this coming will be with great glory, (3) the angels will be with him, and (4) all the tribes of the earth will see him. Jesus repeats these elements in the parable of the sheep and the goats. (Matthew 25:31-46) Hence, we can conclude that this parable deals with the time, after the opening outbreak of tribulation, when Jesus will come with his angels and sit down on his throne to judge. (John 5:22; Acts 17:31; compare 1 Kings 7:7; Daniel 7:10, 13, 14, 22, 26; Matthew 19:28.) Who will be judged, and with what result? The parable shows that Jesus will give attention to all nations, as if they were assembled right before his celestial throne. Sheeplike men and women will be separated to Jesus? right side of favor. Why? Because they used their opportunities to do good to his brothers?anointed Christians, who will share in Christ?s heavenly Kingdom. (Daniel 7:27; Hebrews 2:9?3:1)
