I choose to walk through faith, not through sight

Zechariah 8

14. For thus saith Jehovah of hosts: As I thought to do evil unto you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith Jehovah of hosts, and I repented not;

15. so again have I thought in these days to do good unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah: fear ye not. 16. These are the things that ye shall do: speak ye every man the truth with his neighbor; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates; 17. and let none of you devise evil in your hearts against his neighbor; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith Jehovah.

My life ?

As Jesus said :

34. Think not that I came to send peace on the earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

35. For I came to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law:

36. and a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

this site , beside others , plays a role in fulfiling the prophecy

Jeremiah 50

28. Listen to the fugitives and refugees from Babylon
declaring in Zion
how the LORD our God has taken vengeance,
vengeance for his temple.

29. "Summon archers against Babylon,
all those who draw the bow.
Encamp all around her;
let no one escape.
Repay her for her deeds;
do to her as she has done.
For she has defied the LORD,
the Holy One of Israel.

How might one today countermand Jehovah's word?

Check out 2 Timothy 3:1-5 and after reading it take a look around you in this World and note how most people are behaving. That prophecy is so accurate its frightening.

Unfortunately BUT true ,

the inspired words in 2 Tim 3:1-5 do describe exactly the situation within "God's earthly/visible organisation" at the time of the end !

Why ?

because , for long time now (from 1942 onward) there wasn't any "revelation "

Proverbs 29:

18. Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint;
but blessed is he who keeps the law.

The history of 1914

by PYRAMIDSCHEME in

i am still going through the questioning my faith stage as i just discovered the inconsistencies of the org.

it was 1914 that really threw me for a loop.

i have never been completely sold on the "new light" policy.

wantingtruth

what HAS Jesus been doing since 1914?

-- well, He is reigning in Heaven from the time of His ascension - but not on earth !

---------------------------------

... how did they arrive at the date? Was it the same way Rutherford did using Daniel?

-- I know how they arrived to this data !

it is written in the Bible.....Jeremiah 2

12. Be appalled at this, O heavens, and shudder with great horror," declares the LORD.

13. "My people have committed two sins:
--- They have forsaken me, the spring of living water,
--- and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water.

So , that data (as others ) was "found" because they (as God's people ) did not used the Bible in a correctly way /they did not rely on God's word , as truth,

but they have dug cisterns .. that is , they have rely (past tense) in other "sources" (extra biblical ones ) for their findings ....

The reality is that God didn't gave to them the understanding of the biblical datas found in Daniel and Revelation until around 8 years ago.

Here I have tried to explain a little the chronology.

Regarding when the Kingdom was settled in Heaven (or when Jesus was enthroned , I wrote here .

Now , a few words regarding Jesus coming - what it means , are found here .

"The Truth will set you Free!"

WHO understands these verses ?

Isaiah 44

1 "But now listen, O Jacob, my servant,
Israel, whom I have chosen.

2 This is what the LORD says—
he who made you, who formed you in the womb,
and who will help you:
Do not be afraid, O Jacob, my servant,
Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.

3 For I will pour water on the thirsty land,
and streams on the dry ground;
I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring,
and my blessing on your descendants.

4 They will spring up like grass in a meadow,
like poplar trees by flowing streams.

5 One will say, 'I belong to the LORD ';
another will call himself by the name of Jacob;
still another will write on his hand, 'The LORD's,'
and will take the name Israel.

All of the high and lofty appointments I metioned at the beginning of this writing, that the Governing Body bestows upon themeselves, constitute that Organization as "sitting down in the Temple of God Professing themselves to be God." The reason being, was it to be true Jehovah did have such an earthly Organization, at this time; only Jehovah himself could make such appointments, by taking those appointments for themselves, they are actually professing to be God themselves, just as Paul predicted the Man of Lawlessness, would do.

This is all the truth! And the Truth will set you free!" Wannabe

Who really is the Faithful Slave?

by wannabe in

who really is the faithful slave?.

not so long ago i had a conversation with one of the witnesses at my door, and i drew his attention to the fact that nowhere in matthew 24 - mark13 - luke 21 did jesus mention any appointed organization on the earth, when he gave the sign of his coming.

i pointed out to him that all jesus foretold was the prevalence of many false prophets.
