to survive the great tribulation!

because of the influence of the many false prophets foretold for our time period, many have been led to believe, that a great unnumbered crowd will survive the great tribulation, foretold by jesus at matthew 24:20,21.. true, we would hope that what is taught by these false prophets, turned out to be true, but the bible, and common sense itself doesn't support such a view as that, even though it may look like it does; but in order to make their teaching look like a true bible teaching, these false teachers will quote scripture out of context, while ignoring what the full context reveals, for more often than not, the context when considered in its entirety, shows their belief to be nothing more than a lie, a false belief.

a doctrine of demons, if you will;.

To Survive the great tribulation! What is necessary?
Because of the influence of the many false prophets foretold for our time period, many have been led to believe, that a great unnumbered crowd will survive the great tribulation, foretold by Jesus at Matthew 24:20,21.
True, we would hope that what is taught by these false prophets, turned out to be true, but the Bible, and common sense itself doesn't support such a view as that, even though it may look like it does; but in order to make their teaching look like a true Bible teaching, these false teachers will quote scripture out of context, while ignoring what the full context reveals, for more often than not, the context when considered in its entirety, shows their belief to be nothing more than a lie, a false belief. A Doctrine of Demons, if you will;
We might, now, turn to the words of the Apostle John to learn something about this supposed great unnumbered crowd in his Revelation, in these following words: "After this I looked and there was an enormous crowd -- no one could count all of the people! They were from every race, tribe, nation, and language, and they stood in front of the Throne and of the lamb, dressed in white robes and holding palm branches in their hands." {Revelation 7:9} Note now, where they are from. It says, from every race, tribe, nation, and language. Crucial to understanding this, is remembering from whence they came.
Now notice the words of Jesus in his last prayer to his Father just prior to his ascension: "This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and the one that you sent forth, Jesus Christ." {John 17:3} Now in order for this great unnumbered crowd to survive the great tribulation they would all have had to come to know the only true God, and his Son by taking in knowledge of both Father and Son. in order for any of them to have done that, they would have had to first be drawn by Jehovah to his Son; his Son being the only approach to the Father, in his office of the, 'One mediator between men and God.' {John 6:44;14:6} {1 Timothy 2:5}
Upon being drawn by the Father to his Son, the Son in turn would request from the Father, the Holy Spirit be given to the one drawn. {John 14:16,17} Once the Holy Spirit was received: "The helper the Holy Spirit whom the father will send in my name will teach you everything and make you remember all that I have told you." {John 14:26} ..."He will lead you into all the truth... and will tell you of things to come." {John 16:13} "But as for you, Christ has poured out his Spirit on you, As long as his Spirit remains in you, you do not need anyone to teach you, For his Spirit teaches you about everything and what he teaches is true, not false. Obey the Spirits teaching then, and remain in union with him." 1 John 2:27}
Now why could not any of this apply to this World in general? Paul will aid us in understanding that. Note, now, his words: "For since in the Wisdom of God, the World through its Wisdom did not come to know God." {1 Corinthians 1:21} To that, add the words of Jesus, who said, in harmony with Paul: "Righteous Father, the World has, indeed, not come to know you, but I have come to know you, and these have come to know that you sent me forth." {John 17:25} Notice, now, these next words of Jesus, that will serve to enlighten: "If you love me, you will observe my commandments; and I will request the Father and he will give you another helper to be with you forever, the Spirit of the Truth, WHICH THE WORLD CANNOT RECEIVE, BECAUSE IT NEITHER BEHOLDS IT NOR KNOWS IT." {John 14:15-17} To make matters worse for this World, who are unable to take in this life saving knowledge, are these next words of Jesus: "A little longer and the World will behold me,[see me] no more, but you will behold me, because I live and you will live." {John 14:19}
The Apostle Paul sums up, and shows us with his following words the very serious predicament this entire World is in, with these next words of his: "If, now, the good news we declare is in fact veiled, it is veiled among those who are perishing, among whom the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ, who is the image of God, might not shine through." {2 Corinthians 4:3,4}
Assume for a moment, that it was possible for a great unnumbered crowd to survive the great tribulation that precedes the War of Armageddon. What would we have as regards that great crowd? We would have, individuals who do not know God, who do not obey the good news about the Christ, because satan keeps them all blinded to that good news. We would also have individuals who lacked the Holy Spirit, the means by which Jehovah reveals himself to mankind; so they would have no knowledge of Jehovah God, nor his Son, a prerequisite, or requirement for gaining everlasting life. What could that great unnumbered crowd have done to gain the Salvation that is cried out by those who really do survive? What could they have done to gain them those white robes they are said to be wearing? What did the Apostle Paul tell us about these ones who do not know God, or do not obey the good news about the Christ? Note his following words on this: "This takes into account that it is righteous on God's part to repay tribulation to those who make tribulation for you, but to you who suffer tribulation, relief along with us at the revelation of the lord Jesus from heaven with his powerful angels in a flaming fire, as he brings vengeance upon those WHO DO NOT KNOW GOD and those who DO NOT OBEY THE GOOD NEWS ABOUT OUR LORD JESUS." These very ones will undergo the judicial punishment of everlasting destruction from before the lord, and from the glory of his strength, at the time he comes to be glorified in connection with his Holy Ones and to be regarded in that day with wonder in connection with all those who exercized faith, because the witness we gave met with faith among you." {1 Thessalonians 1:6-10}
Obviously, it is not possible, for a great unnumbered crowd to come out of a World that does not know God, or obey the good news about the Christ, when they are all totally exterminated by undergoing judicial punishment, and suffer everlasting destruction; and done by the Christ and his Angels. So, never could this World make that momentous cry, "Salvation we owe to our God, who is seated on the Throne, and to the Lamb." {Revelation 7:10}
This momentous cry could only come at the end of the Thousand year reign of Christ, because it will take that long to bring mankind to the perfection lost by the first man, Adam; and to bring them to the point when that great cry of salvation will come because Jehovah will carry out his word to, 'judge the inhabited earth in righteousness' after they reach this righteous perfection, and pass a final test put upon them once again by satan the devil after he is let loose that final time to again mislead mankind; which number misled at that time is, 'as the sand of the sea,' for multitude. We learn fire comes down out of heaven and destroys them all at that time; all but for those who pass the final test with flying colors. {Revelation 20:1,2--7--10}
Then, after satan, his demons, his crowd of misled ones are thrown into the lake of fire, comes this cry from an Angel flying in mid heaven: "And I saw another Angel flying in mid heaven, and he had everlasting good news to declare as glad tidings to those who dwell on earth, and to every nation and tribe and tongue and people, saying in a loud voice: "Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of the judgment has arrived, and so worship the one who made the heavens and the earth and sea and fountains of waters." {Revelation 14:6,7} Paul had foretold this grand event at Acts 17:31 in these words: "Because he has set a day in which he purposes to judge the inhabited earth in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed and he has furnished a guarantee to all men in that he has resurrected him from the dead."
This is the moment, faithful Men and Woman to Jehovah God have looked to for thousands of years, not realizing their hope in their lifetimes, but died, some of them under great tribulation, but faithful to their very deaths, in order to gain that final reward. They continued steadfast without wavering, because they knew their God Jehovah would keep every promise he made to them.
It is not only those in those White robes that are before the Throne and the lamb, it is both the righteous and the unrighteous; but all from the common grave of dead mankind; that is why this great crowd is said, not to be counted or numbered; because no one of us could ever know, just how many were in those graves. Only Jehovah and his Son, the one entrusted to do the resurrecting would know that particular number. Among these dead ones, are those who suffered nothing but tribulation all through their lives; to the point of being murdered for their faith in Jehovah put through a life of misery by the seed of satan the devil, who manifested that violent foretold hatred mentioned at Genesis 3:15! {John 5:28,29} {Acts 24:15} {Revelation 6:9-11;7:9;20:11-15}
No! This great cry of Salvation does not come from any of this world who do not know God, or his Son, from any great tribulation that precedes Armageddon, it comes after the final judgment in righteousness is done by Jehovah, when a final sifting out is done. After that, Comes this Momentous cry, "Salvation we owe to our God who is seated {BACK} on his Throne and to the lamb. {1 Corinthians 15:24--28}
For anyone to say, that this cry of salvation comes ever before the true survivors of Armageddon have reaped the benefits of the thousand year reign of Christ is a rediculous notion, for that cry cannot come until the perfection Adam lost is regained, and that will take the entire thousand year period to accomplish that return to perfection, and Jehovah then judges the inhabited earth in righteousness, imputing as he will at that time, everlasting life to the true survivors of the great tribulation that preceded the War of Armageddon. As for any great unnumbered crowd coming out of any great tribulation from this world devoid of knowledge of God, and of his Christ, for them it will be as Jehovah inspired his penman Zephaniah to write: "He will make an extermination, indeed a terrible one of all the inhabitants of the earth." Isaiah, another of Jehovah's inspired writers, informed us that only a 'few mortal men will be left' over after the War of Armageddon; As well, and in harmony with both Zephaniah and Isaiah are the words of Jesus who clearly told us that only 'a few were on the road to life.' {Zephaniah 1:14-18} {Isaiah 24:6} {Matthew 7:13,14}
The Greek word, Sote'ria rendered Salvation has the meaning, among other things as: "Of Spiritual and ETERNAL DELIVERANCE." "Inclusively all the benefits of God!"
Can you imagine how loud YOUR cry of Salvation, would be after learning you had now attained to everlasting life?
It should be considered too, that the Governing Body of the Watchtower Society makes the claim that it is they, that are gathering this great unnumbered crowd out of all the nations; but one has to ask, just how could they gather this crowd from a World that doesn't know God, nor do they see his Son; because of being blinded and misled by satan the devil, all lying in the power of satan the devil. {1 John 5:19} {Revelation 12:9} Unable to gain the true principle teaching instrument the Holy Spirit; without which they could never gain the knowledge of God or his Son. Is the Governing Body in control of the Holy Spirit? The last time I looked, that Holy Spirit was in the hands of the Christ seated at the right hand of his Father in the heavenly spirit realm. {Acts 2:33} Their 130 year record they have established of failed predictions and false prophecies should show us that the Holy Spirit certainly isn't guiuding and directing them, so how could they benefit anyone in their ranks, or teach them anything to do with the Bible? So their work of preaching this good news of the kingdom is an exercize in futility, and will gain no one joining ranks with them anything at all. In Point of fact satan would be using them to mislead a major portion of this World through the preaching work that they do, and to date 7 Million misled ones un-be-knowns to them, are going door-to-door trying to mislead others into joining ranks with them. {Jeremiah 23:20-22,31,32}
One last point to consider, is the fact that when satan is let loose one more time at the end of the thousand year period, we know he again misleads a number as it says, 'as the sands of the sea'. At that time we are told they encircle the camp of the holy ones, but fire comes down out of heaven and destroys them all. Keep in mind to begin with these misled ones were a part of the great unnumbered crowd, but being destroyed are not around when Jehovah judges the inhabited earth in righteousness, so as a result do not have everlasting life imputed to them; so take no part in this loud proclamation: "Salvation we owe to our God who is seated on the Throne and to the Lamb."
Consider the number satan was able to mislead, after being released from his prison, the number being as the sands of the Sea. From where would such a vast crowd of individuals come from? Recall now Jehovah's Promises to Abraham, Issac, and Jacob, as listed below, beginning with Jehovah's promise to Abraham, we read:
"I shall surely bless you and I shall surely multiply your seed like the stars of the heavens and like the grains of sand that are on the seashore; and your seed will take possession of the gate of his enemies. 18 And by means of your seed all nations of the earth will certainly bless themselves due to the fact that you have listened to my voice."{Genesis 22:15-18 NWT}
Now for Isaac:
"Now there arose a famine in the land, besides the first famine that occurred in the days of Abraham, so that Isaac directed himself to A·bim´e·lech, king of the Phi·lis´tines, to Ge´rar. 2 Then Jehovah appeared to him and said: "Do not go down to Egypt. Tabernacle in the land that I designate to you. 3 Reside as an alien in this land, and I shall continue with you and bless you, because to you and to your seed I shall give all these lands, and I will carry out the sworn statement that I swore to Abraham your father, 4 ‘And I will multiply your seed like the stars of the heavens and I will give to your seed all these lands; and by means of your seed all nations of the earth will certainly bless themselves,’ 5 due to the fact that Abraham listened to my voice and continued to keep his obligations to me, my commands, my statutes, and my laws." 6 So Isaac went on dwelling at Ge´rar." {Genesis 26:1-4 NWT}
Lastly Jacob:
10 ""And Jacob continued on his way out from Be´er-she´ba and kept going to Ha´ran. 11 In time he came across a place and set about spending the night there because the sun had set. So he took one of the stones of the place and set it as his head supporter and lay down in that place. 12 And he began to dream, and, look! there was a ladder stationed upon the earth and its top reaching up to the heavens; and, look! there were God’s angels ascending and descending on it. 13 And, look! there was Jehovah stationed above it, and he proceeded to say: I am Jehovah the God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac. The land upon which you are lying, to you I am going to give it and to your seed. 14 And your seed will certainly become like the dust particles of the earth, and you will certainly spread abroad to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south, and by means of you and by means of your seed all the families of the ground will certainly bless themselves." {Genesis 28:10-14 NWT}
15 "Brothers, I speak with a human illustration: A validated covenant, though it is a man’s, no one sets aside or attaches additions to it. 16 Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. It says, not: "And to seeds," as in the case of many such, but as in the case of one: "And to your seed," who is Christ." {Galatians 3:15,16NWT}
Now, in that, this is the Day Jehovah judges the inhabited earth in righteousness, and attributes everlasting life to all those who come through the final test put upon them by satan when released, it would also be the time for Jehovah to keep his promises to those three faithful men; and this would account for this massive crowd of individuals, all ascribing wisdom, thanksgiving, honor and power and strength to our God forever and ever," These are the ones we hear, saying: "Salvation [we owe] to our God, who is seated on the Throne, and to the lamb." We notice in verse 9 of Chapter 7 these ones are dressed in white robes, and Revelation 6:9-11 shows how that came about, and why: Consider these next words now: "And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the Alter the souls of those slaughtered because of the word of God and of the witness work that they used to have. And they cried with a loud voice, saying: "Until when, Sovereign Lord holy and true, are you refraining from judging and avenging our blood upon those who dwell on the earth?" And a White Robe was given to each of them; and they were told to rest a little while longer, until the number was filled also of their fellow slaves and their brothers who were about to be killed as they also had been." Being killed as they were puts them in the common grave of dead mankind, and would include all of Jehovah's faithful ancient prophets, killed by the seed of satan the devil. It would also take in all of the faithful Apostles and first century Christian's martyred for their faith in Jehovah. For their firm stand in worshipping Jehovah. satan's seed put them all through an unbelievable tribulation for most of their natural lives; described for us by Paul at Hebrews 11. Who of us can read through that Chapter by Paul and not believe they are the ones who are said to come out of the great tribulation? Keep in mind too, their tribulation was not cut short, but lasted for all of their lifetimes, until their very deaths. These others that must be killed as they had been, will be killed during the coming of Christ, and the tribulation suffered through at that time will be cut short to save the lives of the remaining chosen ones. Now, if that tribulation had to be cut short, or no flesh would be saved; was that an allusion to any great crowd of survivors? Jesus words run counter to that, do they not? {Matthew 24: 9} Jesus also helps us to understand what the Israelite Nation put Jehovah's faithful prophets through, and he identified them as the seed of satan the devil by these following words to them" "Serpents, Offspring of vipers, how are you to flee from the judgment of Ge-hen'na? For this reason, here I am sending forth to you prophets and wise men and public instructors. Some of them you will kill and impale, and some of them you will scourge in your Synagogues and persecute from city to city: that there may come upon you all the righteous blood spilled on earth, from the blood of righteous Able to the blood of Zechariah son of Barachiah whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the Alter." {Matthew 23:33-46} Truly, Jehovah's faithful people, were put through an unimaginable tribulation, by the seed of satan the devil; and that was because of the foretold enmity, or hatred that was to exist between the seed of the woman, and the seed of satan the devil, who proved out to be the Israelite Nation who had reverted over to the seed of satan the devil, as fucused on by Jesus. {Genesis 3:15}
I have shown that those standing before the Throne of God dressed in those white robes, depicting their righteous standing with Jehovah God, came out of the resurrection of the dead; but more than they would be included in the resurrection as described at Revelation 20:11-15 in these following words: "And I saw a great white Throne and the one seated on it. From before him the earth and the heaven fled away, and no place was found for them, And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the Throne, and scrolls were opened. But another scroll was opened; it is the scroll of life. And the dead were judged out of those things written in the scrolls according to their deeds. And the sea gave up those dead in it, and death and hades gave up those dead in them, and they were judged individually according to their deeds. And death and hades were hurled into the lake of fire. This means the second death, the lake of fire. Furthermore, whoever was not found written in the Book of life, was hurled into the lake of fire." So, a final weeding out process is taking place here; but for those who prove faithful to Jehovah during this last and final test by satan, will come this monumental cry: "Salvation we owe to our God who is seated on the Throne and from the Lamb." And why not such a cry at this time? All Mankind at this point in time, has gained eternal life under God's Kingdom by his Christ! Everything now, is as it was, when Adam and his Wife Eve were first put into the garden of eden. Pardise Lost, to pardise regained! Perfect righteous humans, at last, living in paradise! With the opportunity before them of never dying again. Think of it! Eternal life! Life with no end! On a pardise earth! At Last! Amen and Amen ...

addition!.

as is seen from these following quotes, the governing body of the watchtower society would have us all believe, that they, as an organization represent 'jehovah's channel of communication, the faithful and discreet slave,' of the parable in matthew 24:45.. channel to understanding the bible... all who want to understand the bible should appreciate that the "greatly diversified wisdom of god" can become known only through jehovah's channel of communication, the faithful and discreet slave.

Are they really the Appointed Faithful Slave? Addition!
As is seen from these following quotes, the Governing Body of the Watchtower Society would have us all believe, that they, as an organization represent 'Jehovah's Channel of Communication, the faithful and discreet slave,' of the parable in Matthew 24:45.
Channel to understanding the Bible... All who want to understand the Bible should appreciate that the "greatly diversified wisdom of God" can become known only through Jehovah's channel of communication, the faithful and discreet slave. (Watchtower; Oct. 1, 1994; p. 8)
1973 Only this organization functions for Jehovah's purpose and to his praise. To it alone God's Sacred Word, the Bible, is not a sealed book. (Watchtower; July 1, 1973; p. 402)
1939 We acknowledge as the visible organization of Jehovah on earth the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society, and recognize the Society as the Channel or instrument through which Jehovah and Christ Jesus give instruction and meat in due season to the household of faith. (Watchtower, April 15, 1939 p. 125)
85) 1939 "It should be expected that the Lord would have a means of communicating to his people on the earth, and he has clearly shown that the magazine called The Watchtower is used for that purpose." (1939 Yearbook Of Jehovah's Witnesses, P1967
"Make haste to identify the visible theocratic organization of God that represents his king, Jesus Christ. It is essential for life. Doing so, be complete in accepting its every aspect." (Watchtower, October 1, 1967, p. 591)
According to these aforementioned Watchtower Quotes, no one can understand the Bible apart from them; for only they alone are guided and directed by the Holy Spirit; as this additional quote will clearly show:
"Consider too, the fact that Jehovah's organization alone in all the earth is directed by God's holy spirit or active force." (Watchtower, July 1, 1973, page 402)
Was it to be true, that all of the preceding quotes are accurate, would not the Apostle Paul, who himself was one of the true anointed class, support everything they tell us in these quotes? Afterall, if their claim to being the anointed Brothers of the Christ is true, then the anointed Brothers of the Christ in the first century would also have been the appointed faithful slave. If anyone would be able to supply us with the correct answer to who the faithful slave really was in the first century, I feel it safe to say, Paul could, wouldn't you think?
It will pay us now, to examine very closely exactly what it was Paul had to say about this matter. Note his words now at Hebrews 3:1-6 using the Watchtower Societies own Bible, the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures; and note especially how Paul contradicts their high and lofty claims, and exposes them as false prophets. Now for Pauls own words on this matter: "Consequently, Holy Brothers partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest whom we consess ---Jesus. He was faithful to the one that made him such, as Moses was in all the house of that one. For the latter, {Jesus} is counted worthy of more glory than Moses,in-as-much as he who constructs it has more honor than the house. Of course every house is constructed by someone, but he that constructed all things is God. And Moses as an attendant was faithful in all the house of that One as a testimony of the things that were to be spoken afterward, but Christ was faithful as a Son OVER THE HOUSE OF THAT ONE. WE ARE THE HOUSE OF THAT ONE, if we make fast hold on our freeness of speech and our boasting over the hope firm to the end,"
We should notice, here, that Paul is contrasting the glorious position Moses held, over the house of God as he led the Israelite Nation, with the even more glorious position the Christ was to hold, over the house of God; as it says, 'as a testimony of the things that were to be spoken afterwards.' Then he tells us; 'but Christ was faithful as a Son OVER THE HOUSE OF THAT ONE. Do not let this point escape your notice, because here Paul has informed us that it was the Christ who was the appointed Faithful Slave over the house of God, and none of the anointed class held that position in the first Century; because, speaking for himself and all of the anointed class; he clearly has told us: "We are the house of that one" ...
With that in mind, ask yourselves, how is it today, the Governing Body of the Watchtower Society, makes claim that they are the appointed Faithful Slave, while at the same time, will tell us that thay are also the anointed Brothers of the Christ? According to them, they are appointed over God's House, and as a Body constitute the house as well? So, at one and the same time, they are both. They are appointed over the house, as well, they are the house itself. Does that sound like intelligent scriptural reasoning to you, the readers? Something is amiss, isn't it? Yes! It certainly is! Obviously they are not what they make claim to being at all; they are, imposters, pure and simple. Exactly as Paul foretold; "But wicked Men and imposters will advance from bad to worse, misleading and being misled." {{2Timothy 3:13}
Did Paul predict that there would be some today, making profession that they were on equal footing with the early Apostles, but, rather, would be wicked Men and imposters, misleading and being misled? We will learn, that he most certainly did, as might be expected. Note now his words on this matter: "Now what I am doing, I will still do, that I may cut off the pretext from those who are wanting a pretext for BEING FOUND EQUAL TO US IN THE OFFICE OF WHICH THEY BOAST. For such Men are false Apostles, deceitful workers transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself keeps transforming himself into an angel of light. It is therefore nothing great if his ministers also keep transforming themselves into ministers of righteousness. But their end shall be according to their works." {2 Corinthians 11:12-15}
We see from Paul's words here, the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses is beginning to take centre stage, are they not? But let us go on to see if the Apostle Paul actually pin-points the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses, as to actually being these 'wicked men and imposters, misleading and being misled.' These ones, 'transforming themselves into apostles of Christ, while their followers transform themselves into ministers of righteousness.' Just how does Paul pin-point the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses, and their followers as these wicked men and imposters? With these following words taken from 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12! Specifically verses 1,2 - "However, Brothers, respecting the presence {COMING} of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we request of you not to be quickly shaken from your reason nor to be exited either through an inspired expression, or through a verbal message or through a letter AS THOUGH FROM US to the effect that the day of Jehovah is here."
As to this first point, 'through an inspired expression,' recall their own words in this following quote:
Consider too, the fact that Jehovah's organization alone in all the earth is directed by God's holy spirit or active force." (Watchtower, July 1, 1973, page 402)
When Jehovah's Witnesses arrive at your door, you receive that 'verbal message,' in their introductory presentation, as they present you with that, 'letter' in the form of a Watchtower Magazine; a message as though from the early Apostles, and recall their central teaching that the Christ was invisibly present in the year `1914 and that, 'the day of Jehovah is here.' Or fast approaching.
It is common knowledge, today, that the Governing Body and their followers have been involved in this, 'preaching of this good news of the kingdom in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all Nations, just prior to the end of this system of things; and their belief is, that this work is authorized by Jehovah God, but the one who really was the appointed faithful slave, the Christ himself, showed that the converse to that was true, with his own following words at Luke 21:8 which reads: He said: "Look out that you are not misled; for many will come on the basis of my name, saying,' I am he,' and, the due time has approached. DO NOT GO AFTER THEM." He went even further, warning us: "For false Christs and false Prophets will arise and will give great signs and wonders so as to mislead, if possible, even the chosen ones." {Matthew 24:14,24} Anyone reading through the composite sign of the coming of Christ, will note in Matthew 24-Mark 13-Luke 21 that only false prophets would be on the scene, just prior to his coming; so that preaching work, as a result of that, had to be being done by a false prophet; not one authorized by Jehovah God; otherwise, why would the Christ tell us not to go after them? We must remember, the central teaching of the Governing Body of the Watchtower Society is that, the Christ was invisibly present in the year 1914, and because of that, they tell us, that, 'the time is at hand.' Or, if you will, 'the due time has approached,' as the Christ himself warned us all about, so is the case.
One may wonder why, Jehovah's Witnesses do not understand the true message that they should be preaching today, and the answer to that Paul explains with his following words, take note at what he will tell us in this next scripture: "If, now, the good news we declare is in fact veiled, it is veiled among those who are perishing, among whom the god of this system of things, {Satan} has blinded the minds of the unbelievers that the illumination of the glorious good news about [the glory], of Christ who is the image of God might not shine through." {2 Corinthians 4:3,4} Like the rest of this World they are under the power and control of satan the devil, who is, 'misleading the entire inhabited earth.' {1 John 5:19} {Revelation 12:9} To add to their problem, Jehovah, "allows an operation of error to go to them, so that they get to believing the lie, in order that they all may be judged because they did not receive the love of the truth, but took pleasure in unrighteousness," so said the Apostle Paul. {2Thessalonians2:9-12}
Anyone who knows anything about this Organization, under the micro-scope knows well, that they identify themselves as the, 'way of the truth,' and anyone joining ranks with them, is said to be, 'walking in the way of the truth.' The real truth of the matter, is, it is a copy-cat religion, an Apostate version of the truth, that Paul mentions in these following words: "Let no one seduce you in any manner, because it will not come unless the Apostasy comes first... then making reference to the Governing Body of the Watchtower Society, he continues, by telling us, 'and the Man of Lawlessness gets revealed, the Son of destruction. He is set in opposition and lifts himself up over everyone who is called "god" or an object of reverence, so that he sits down in the Temple of The God, professing himself to be a god." {2 Thessalonians 2:3,4}
Anyone who doesn't believe that it is the Governing Body of the Watchtower Society Paul is telling us about, I suggest to them to read over again the supplied Watchtower Quotes, and you will see they are quite comfortably seated in God's Temple, by their outlandish high and lofty, self-appointed, self-inflated claims.
At this time, there are now some 7 Million Apostate Christian's going door-to-door, 'preaching this good news of the kingdom,' under the direction of this, 'man of lawlessness' with another 17 Million on the side-lines showing interest. So the potential for an even greater Apotasy, as foretold by Paul is quite possible. But be assured, with their annual reports on their progress, I feel sure they'll keep us all informed as to their increasing daily numbers; as this great Apostasy reaches the final full limit Jehovah will allow.
Because their Preaching activity is not authorized by Jehovah, does that mean Jehovah isn't having a work done prior to the coming of the Christ? We'll remember Jesus mentioned the chosen ones at Matthew 24:24. The Apostle John referred to them as the 'seed of the Woman, who have the work of bearing witness to Jesus.' {Revelation 12:17} So, their principle or main work would be to exalt the Christ to his preeminent position; a work that would incurr the hatred of this entire world against them. A hatred foretold by Jesus to come upon them, in these following words: "Then People will deliver you up to tribulation and will kill you, and you will be objects of hatred by all the Nations on account of my name." {Matthew 24:9}
Recall, the issue was, who was the faithful slave that dispensed the food at the proper time? I'll allow Jesus to explain that: "I no longer call you Slaves, because a slave does not know what his master does. But I have called you friends, because all the things I heard from my Father, I have made known to you." {John 15:15}
I have just done the work of witnessing to Jesus as the true Faithful Slave of the parable at Matthew 24:45. The one Paul told us, was 'appointed over the house of God,' as that faithful slave.
Would the Governing Body of the Watchtower Society be so audacious as to tell anyone that the Christ, who was taught by Jehovah everything that Jesus had taught his true disciples, pass on to them a record of 130 years of failed predictions and false prophecies? Would Jehovah be behind that failed record? Even more inportant; would Jehovah teach such a record to his Son, and then have Jesus pass it on to them?
Quite clearly, they are not now, nor have they ever been, the appointed faithful Slave; that is clearly obvious! Wannabe

Are they really the Appointed Faithful Slave?
As is seen from these following quotes, the Governing Body of the Watchtower Society would have us all believe, that they, as an organization represent 'Jehovah's Channel of Comminication, the faithful and discreet slave,' of the parable in Matthew 24:45.
Channel to understanding the Bible... All who want to understand the Bible should appreciate that the "greatly diversified wisdom of God" can become known only through Jehovah's channel of communication, the faithful and discreet slave. (Watchtower; Oct. 1, 1994; p. 8)
1973 Only this organization functions for Jehovah's purpose and to his praise. To it alone God's Sacred Word, the Bible, is not a sealed book. (Watchtower; July 1, 1973; p. 402)
1939 We acknowledge as the visible organization of Jehovah on earth the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society, and recognize the Society as the Channel or instrument through which Jehovah and Christ Jesus give instruction and meat in due season to the household of faith. (Watchtower, April 15, 1939 p. 125)
85) 1939 "It should be expected that the Lord would have a means of communicating to his people on the earth, and he has clearly shown that the magazine called The Watchtower is used for that purpose." (1939 Yearbook Of Jehovah's Witnesses, P1967
"Make haste to identify the visible theocratic organization of God that represents his king, Jesus Christ. It is essential for life. Doing so, be complete in accepting its every aspect." (Watchtower, October 1, 1967, p. 591)
According to these aforementioned Watchtower Quotes, no one can understand the Bible apart from them; for only they alone are guided and directed by the Holy Spirit; as this additional quote will clearly show:
"Consider too, the fact that Jehovah's organization alone in all the earth is directed by God's holy spirit or active force." (Watchtower, July 1, 1973, page 402)
Was it to be true, that all of the preceding quotes are accurate, would not the Apostle Paul, who himself was one of the true anointed class, support everything they tell us in these quotes? Afterall, if their claim to being the anointed Brothers of the Christ is true, then the anointed Brothers of the Christ in the first century would also have been the appointed faithful slave. If anyone would be able to supply us with the correct answer to who the faithful slave really was in the first century, I feel it safe to say, Paul could, wouldn't you think?
It will pay us now, to examine very closely exactly what it was Paul had to say about this matter. Note his words now at Hebrews 3:1-6 using the Watchtower Societies own Bible, the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures; and note especially how Paul contradicts their high and lofty claims, and exposes them as false prophets. Now for Pauls own words on this matter: "Consequently, Holy Brothers partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest whom we consess ---Jesus. He was faithful to the one that made him such, as Moses was in all the house of that one. For the latter, {Jesus} is counted worthy of more glory than Moses,in-as-much as he who constructs it has more honor than the house. Of course every house is constructed by someone, but he that constructed all things is God. And Moses as an attendant was faithful in all the house of that One as a testimony of the things that were to be spoken afterward, but Christ was faithful as a Son OVER THE HOUSE OF THAT ONE. WE ARE THE HOUSE OF THAT ONE, if we make fast hold on our freeness of speech and our boasting over the hope firm to the end,"
We should notice, here, that Paul is contrasting the glorious position Moses held, over the house of God as he led the Israelite Nation, with the even more glorious position the Christ was to hold, as it says, 'as a testimony of the things that were to be spoken afterwards.' Then he tells us; 'but Christ was faithful as a Son OVER THE HOUSE OF THAT ONE. Do not let this point escape your notice, because here Paul has informed us that it was the Christ who was the appointed Faithful Slave over the house of God, and none of the anointed class held that position in the first Century; because, speaking for himself and all of the anointed class; he clearly has told us: "We are the house of that one" ...
With that in mind, ask yourselves, how is it today, the Governing Body of the Watchtower Society, makes claim that they are the appointed Faithful Slave, while at the same time, will tell us that thay are also the anointed Brothers of the Christ? According to them, they are appointed over God's House, and as a Body constitute the house as well? So, at one and the same time, they are both. They are appointed over the house, as well, they are the house itself. Does that sound like intelligent scriptural reasoning to you, the readers? Something is amiss, isn't it? Yes! It certainly is! Obviously they are not what they make claim to being at all; they are, imposters, pure and simple. Exactly as Paul foretold; "But wicked Men and imposters will advance from bad to worse, misleading and being misled." {{2Timothy 3:13}
Did Paul predict that there would be some today, making profession that they were on equal footing with the early Apostles, but, rather, would be wicked Men and imposters, misleading and being misled? We will learn, that he most certainly did, as might be expected. Note now his words on this matter: "Now what I am doing, I will still do, that I may cut off the pretext from those who are wanting a pretext for BEING FOUND EQUAL TO US IN THE OFFICE OF WHICH THEY BOAST. For such Men are false Apostles, deceitful workers transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself keeps transforming himself into an angel of light. It is therefore nothing great if his ministers also keep transforming themselves into ministers of righteousness. But their end shall be according to their works." {2 Corinthians 11:12-15}
We see from Paul's words here, the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses is beginning to take centre stage, are they not? But let us go on to see if the Apostle Paul actually pin-points the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses, as to actually being these 'wicked men and imposters, misleading and being misled.' These ones, 'transforming themselves into apostles of Christ, while their followers transform themselves into ministers of righteousness.' Just how does Paul pin-point the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses, and their followers as these wicked men and imposters? With these following words taken from 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12! Specifically verses 1,2 - "However, Brothers, respecting the presence {COMING} of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we request of you not to be quickly shaken from your reason nor to be exited either through an inspired expression, or through a verbal message or through a letter AS THOUGH FROM US to the effect that the day of Jehovah is here."
As to this first point, 'through an inspired expression,' recall their own words in this following quote:
Consider too, the fact that Jehovah's organization alone in all the earth is directed by God's holy spirit or active force." (Watchtower, July 1, 1973, page 402)
When Jehovah's Witnesses arrive at your door, you receive that 'verbal message,' in their introductory presentation, as they present you with that, 'letter' in the form of a Watchtower Magazine; a message as though from the early Apostles, and recall their central teaching that the Christ was invisibly present in the year `1914 and that, 'the day of Jehovah is here.' Or fast approaching.
It is common knowledge, today, that the Governing Body and their followers have been involved in this, 'preaching of this good news of the kingdom in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all Nations, just prior to the end of this system of things; and their belief is, that this work is authorized by Jehovah God, but the one who really was the appointed faithful slave, the Christ himself, showed that the converse to that was true, with his own following words at Luke 21:8 which read: He said: "Look out that you are not misled; for many will come on the basis of my name, saying,' I am he,' and, the due time has approached. DO NOT GO AFTER THEM." He went even further, warning us: "For false Christs and false Prophets will arise and will give great signs and wonders so as to mislead, if possible, even the chosen ones." {Matthew 24:14,24} Anyone reading through the composite sign of the coming of Christ, will note in Matthew 24-Mark 13-Luke 21 that only false prophets would be on the scene, just prior to his coming; so that preaching work, as a result of that, had to be being done by a false prophet; not one authorized by Jehovah God; otherwise, why would the Christ tell us not to go after them? We must remember, the central teaching of the Governing Body of the Watchtower Society is that, the Christ was invisibly present in the year 1914, and because of that, they tell us, that, 'the time is at hand.' Or, if you will, 'the due time has approached,' as the Christ himself warned us all about, so is the case.
Anyone who knows anything about this Organization, under the micro-scope knows well, that they identify themselves as the, 'way of the truth,' and anyone joining ranks with them, is said to be, 'walking in the way of the truth.' The real truth of the matter, is, it is a copy-cat religion, an apostate version of the truth, that Paul mentions in these following words: "Let no one seduce you in any manner, because it will not come unless the apostasy comes first... then making reference to the Governing Body of the Watchtower Society, he continues, by telling us, 'and the Man of Lawlessness gets revealed, the Son of destruction. He is set in opposition and lifts himself up over everyone who is called "god" or an object of reverence, so that he sits down in the Temple of The God, professing himself to be a god." {2 Thessalonians 2:3,4}
Anyone who doesn't believe that it is the Governing Body of the Watchtower Society Paul is telling us about, I suggest to them to read over again the supplied Watchtower Quotes, and you will see they are quite comfortably seated in God's Temple, by their outlandish high and lofty self-inflated claims.
At this time, there are now some 7 Million Apostate Christian's going door-to-door, 'preaching this good news of the kingdom,' under the direction of this, 'man of lawlessness' with another 17 Million on the side-lines showing interest. So the potential for an even greater Apotasy, as foretold by Paul is quite possible. But be assured, with their annual reports on their progress, I feel sure they'll keep us all informed as to their increasing daily numbers; as this great Apostasy reaches the final full limit Jehovah will allow.
Because their Preaching activity is not authorized by Jehovah, does that mean Jehovah isn't having a work done prior to the coming of the Christ? We'll remember Jesus mentioned the chosen ones at Matthew 24:24. The Apostle John referred to them as the 'seed of the Woman, who have the work of bearing witness to Jesus.' {Revelation 12:17} So, their principle or main work would be to exalt the Christ to his preeminent position; a work that would incurr the hatred of this entire world against them. A hatred foretold by Jesus to come upon them, in these following words: "Then People will deliver you up to tribulation and will kill you, and you will be objects of hatred by all the Nations on account of my name." {Matthew 24:9}

I'll allow Jesus to explain that: "I no longer call you Slaves, because a slave does not know what his master does.

{matthew 24:7}.

"The Great Day Of Jehovah Is Near!"
What evidence do we have today that Zephania's prediction at Chapter 1:14-18 are about to be fulfulled, and very probably now, at any moment, by the appearance of World conditions, as focused on in the news of the day.
Note exactly what Zephaniah had to say about this Day of Jehovah: " 'The Great Day of Jehovah is near,' it is near and there is a hurrying of it very much.{Isaiah 60:22} The sound of the Day of Jehovah is bitter. There a mighty man is letting out a cry.' That Day is a Day of Fury, a Day of distress and of anguish, a Day of Storm and of desolation, a Day of darkness and of gloominess, a Day of Clouds and of thick gloom, a Day of Horn and of Alarm signal, against the fortified Cities and against the high corner towers. And I will cause distress to Mankind, and they will certainly walk like blind men; because it is against Jehovah that they have sinned. And their blood will actually be poured out like dust, and their bowels like the dung. Neither their silver nor thier gold will be able to deliver them in the Day of Jehovah's fury; but by the fire of his zeal the whole earth will be devoured, because he will make an extermination, indeed a terrible one, of all the inhabitants of the earth."
For those who find it too hard to believe that we are in a Day of Storm, consider the paralysing snow storms that have already hit the United States, and as I type this, snow, sleet, and ice are falling on the southern States, even now. Not too forget too, the 39 Tornado's that wreaked havoc and destruction, throughout areas in the United States. Sufficient evidence, that Jehovah's Day has begun; and recall Isaiah Predicted, Jehovah would, 'speed it up in its own time.' That is why Zephaniah could say, 'there's a hurrying of it very much.'
Keep in mind, Jehovah's Day is the final fulfillment of the four hoursemen of the Apocalypse; which ride would begin when Michael the great prince stands up, and the worst time of World Peril this World has ever seen, or will ever see again, will then begin. {Daniel 12:1,2} {Revelation 6:1-8}
Jesus enumerated World events that would be taking place, just prior to his coming into Kingdom Power; that exactly harmonize with the ride of those four horsemen. Read through the composite sign of his coming into Kingdom Power; and note the time of the great tribulation, which would reach its heighth or zenith, just immediatly prior to his taking his position as King of God's Kingdom. When he must intervene to save the lives of his chosen ones, his anointed brothers. {Matthew 24:21,22} It would be, 'immediately after the tribulation of those Days,' because it had been, 'cut short,' he would gather his chosen ones from the four winds, from one extremity of the heavens to the other other extremity. {Matthew 24:29-31} {Revelation 12:10-12}
The Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses will tell us that Daniel's 7 Time Prophesy ended in the year 1914, with the Christ invisibly present and crowned as God's King; but that is a fallacy, because Jesus told us, that when the sign of his coming began, that, that, was only the 'beginning of birth pangs of the Kingdom,'' {Matthew 24:8} and the Apostle John is in full harmony with that thought, as we see in Revelation, he tells us, that Jehovah's Heavenly Woman, was, 'pregnant crying out in her pains to give birth.' The Labor pains of this heavenly Woman are pictured by all of the troublesome events ever since that year, and would culminate when the four horsemen of the Apocolypse reigned in those four horses. {Revelation 12:1,2} One last killer point for their 'invisible presence' doctrine, is the fact, that Jesus told us. 'he was coming like a thief;' you dont tell people that, and then turn around and tell them that you have been invisibly present for 96 years as the Governing Body has told us, he has been. Rather silly, isn't it? {Revelation 16:15}
That ride would begin when Michael stands up, and Daniel's time of world peril begins having to be ended by the War of the Great Day of God The Almighty at Armageddon. {Daniel 12:1,2} {Revelation 16:13-16}
During the time of this ride, Jeremiah's prophecy would see fulfillment, when, 'a calamity is going forth from Nation to Nation.' Jeremiah tells us, that, 'those slain by Jehovah will certainly come to be in that Day from one end of the earth clear to the other end of the earth.' In full harmony with the words of Zephaniah, for 'a terrible extermination of everyone on earth.' {Jeremiah 25:31-37} {Ezekiel 38:18-23}
Once again, and contrary to the teachings of the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses, the Christ does not receive his crown of authority to act as Jehovah's Appointed King, until he stands up as the Archangel Michael, 'the great prince of you people.' It will be then the ride of the four horsemen begins, and Daniel's time of World peril is set into motion. Then, in harmony with Jeremiah's Prophecy Ezekiel's Prophecy will be fulfilled, with 'the Sword of every Mans Sword turned against his own Brother.' Then Matthews words, when 'Nation rises against Nation and Kingdom against Kingdom,' and all particular hell will break out on this planet, in complete insanity. To be brought to an end by Armageddon. {Matthew 24:7}
The Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses will tell us that Matthew 24:7 was fulfilled in the year 1914, but such could never be true. The reason being, Matthew 24:6 with, 'Wars and rumors of Wars, with the end, not yet,' are still in progress, and the end is still not yet. That fact puts Matthew 24:7 where I properly placed it, as you see.
But there is even more compelling reason to believe, that Jehovah's Day is upon us right now, at this very moment in time: I will go on now to explain why that is; by focusing your attention on the parable of the fig Tree, Jesus gave, to let his followers know exactly when he would come into Kingdom Power, and what to expect when that event occured.
Now, "Think of the Fig Tree and ALL THE OTHER TREES. When you see their leaves beginning to appear, you know that Summer is near. In THE SAME WAY, when you see these this happening, you will know that the Kingdom of God is about to come." {Luke 21: 29-31}
Is it not true, that at the end of the Summer, you observe EVERY TREE in full Bloom, anywhere and everywhere you look? Was Jesus not telling us in that Parable that when we saw the composite sign of his coming, like all those Trees in full bloom in late summer, that, that composite sign would be in evidence everywhere on this earth, all at the same time, anywhere you would look? And by that, we would know the Kingdom was near? Did not John in his Revelation tell us that, 'every eye will see him?" Did not Matthew tell us, that, 'all the people of the earth will weep as they see the son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory?" They are all obviously seeing the entire sign of the coming of Christ in Kingdom Power; all over this World, and all at the same time; and none too happy about it, because all the people of the earth are found to be mourning and weeping at his arrival. {Matthew 24:29-31} {Revelation 1:7}
Since the year 1914 we have seen the Wars and rumors of Wars, with the resulting famines. We have seen the Earthquakes, the pestilence and plagues, many false prophets, growing loss of love, increasing crime, the first pains of childbirth; look, now, today, the entire composite sign is occuring all around our earth all at the same time, with floods of 'Biblical Proportion' as in Australia with 37 Metres of rain and more rain forecast for them. Paralysing Snow Storms in the States, Sleet, Snow, and Ice as I type this. {Job 38:22,23} 39 Tornado's rampaging through the United States. Creating vast destruction. Erupting volcano's, rising cost of living, ridiculers who don't believe the Kingdom is about to come. Earthquakes going on all around our globe. And all foretold: Matthew 24:6 Luke 21:9 -11 Habakkuk 3:10 {2 Peter 3:3,4} Revelation 6:5} and who can deny the foretold rising cost of living as mentioned by John in his Revelation? {Revelation 6:5,6}
But why all of this trouble at this time, someone may ask? It is revealed in John's Revelation that Four Angels were to hold tight the four winds of World Destruction until the final sealing of the slaves of our God was completed. When the last one was to be sealed those four Angels were to unleash those four destructive winds. When that was done, unseen by the human eye a War in heaven would be fought between Michael and his Angels and satan and his angels, with satan and his angels being thrown down to our earth, and 'Woe for this earth' was to begin, as it has, right now. {Revelation 7:1-4;12:7-12} The last one has now been sealed, and those Angels have now released those four winds of World Destruction. "Woe,Woe,Woe, for the earth when Michael stands up, and Daniel's time of World peril will begin. {Revelation 8:13} {Daniel 12:1,2} Michael will then gather all the chosen ones, first ressurecting his anointed Brothers including the surviving remnant, who are all with him at Armageddon; then sit down on his glorious Throne and separate the sheep from the goat's. {1 Thessalonians 4:15-18} {Matthew 25:31-46} {Revelation 17:14}
Now we can make some sense out of these next words of Jesus, which are: ""Remember that all these things will happen before the people now living have all died." {Matthew 24:34}
So, it is you, it is I, it is everyone alive all over this World at this time, is the Generation that will not pass away, we will see, all things fulfilled. Just as Jesus promised we would.
The Kingdom is right at the very doors! Jehovah's great Day is here! Jehovah's King will soon take the reigns of power, and the model prayer, 'let your kingdon come,' finally answered.
Now the Governing Body of the Watchtower Society will know, what generation it was that was not to pass away.

Why have they failed to see the obvious?
The Governing Body of the Watchtower Society, who themselves make claim to being, 'Jehovah's Spirit Directed Organization,' has changed the Generation, 'that would not pass away,' Jesus spoke about, so many times, that by now the rank and file must be in a state of complete confusion -
Would a Spirit Directed Organization, was it to be such, not know beyond a shadow of a doubt the exact Generation that Jesus had in mind in his statement found at Matthew 24:32-35 in his parable of the Fig Tree? {Luke 21:29-32} {Matthew 24:32-34}
I feel it safe to say that Jesus knew the Generation he was making reference to in that parable, wouldn't you think? I also feel absolutely certain that was it to be true they really was Spirit Directed, Jesus by that medium, would cause them to know exactly which Generation he had in mind, in that the Holy Spirit, under his control, leads one into, 'all truth,' even revealing the things to come.' {John 14:26;16:13} According to the Apostle Paul, who himself was Spirit Directed, they should by this time know, 'even the deep things of God.' {2 Corinthians 2:10}
John too, who had the Spirit poured out on him, informs us that the Holy Spirit taught them everything. {1John 2:27} So I feel certain Paul and John would have known the Generation Jesus was talking about. All of this being the case, why would the Governing Body, if they are Spirit Directed, be so in the dark on this teaching; and why, if they are Spirit Directed as they make claim, have they managed to establish a 130 year record of failed predictions and false prophecies? Has Jehovah by means of his Holy Spirit led them along a 130 year path of error? That would be virtually impossible.
Before I deal with this parable of the Fig Tree, I would like the readers to read carefully through the three chapters that deal with the composite sign of the coming of Christ into Kingdom Power at Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21. These are events that would be occuring all around our Global Sphere all at the same time, producing a time period of great fear and anxiety as foretold by Luke, at {Luke 21:25-27. 2 Timothy 3:1-5}
Keep in mind, Jesus marked the year 1914, with the ourtbreak of World War 1 as 'the first pains of child birth' while Paul tells us that, 'the day of the lord will come as a thief at night, as suddenly as the pains that come upon a Woman in labor'... {Matthew 24:8} {1Thessalonians 5:1-3} {Revelation 12:1,2} These pangs of birth will culminate when the entire composite sign of the coming of Christ, is, as it is right now at this very moment in time, is in evidence all around this entire World, and all at the same moment in time.
Notice now, how well this parable fits here, and has its application at this time, evidenced by the news of the day; and take special note of this particular news, at this time. What with Tornado's rampaging throughout towns in the United States, paralyzing snow and ice storms, in China and Japan, and almost every day reports of earthquakes in various places around the World. Erupting Volcano's, Floods of, "Biblical Proportion" as in the one in Australia, deseases, fires, Political unrest; even Churches being Bombed as foretold by John in his Revelation. {Revelation 18:8} Even Paul's words concerning the conduct and actions of people in the last days, foretold, and occuring in detail, exactly as foretold. {2Timothy 3:1-5} Not to forget to mention the ridiculers, Peter foretold. {2 Peter 3:3-5} Everything the Bible foretold for the last days, occuring all around the World, all at the same time; so that all Mankind is able to see the Christ coming into kingdom Power, as Matthew foretold in these words: "Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the peoples of the earth will weep as they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory"... {Matthew 24:29-31} John follows up with his words: "Look he is coming on the clouds! Everyone will see him. Including those who pierced him. All peoples on earth will mourn over him." {Revelation 1:7}
Consider what it is, that has triggered this time of world peril
that has now begun. John foretold that four Angels would hold tight the four winds of World destruction while the servants of God were being sealed in their foreheads; when the final one was sealed, those four Angels would unleash those four winds of destruction; as they have now done at this time, accounting for the time of trouble we are now living through. {Revelation 7:1-8}
Something else that contributes to this time of World trouble, is, unseen to the human eye, a War has been fought in heaven with satan and his demon's being thrown down to this earth, and 'Woe for this earth,' is about to begin, has already begun leading into the great tribulation, that will be, 'cut short to save the lives of the chosen ones.' {Revelation 12:7-9,12} {Matthew 24:21,22} After it is cut short, Michael {Christ Jesus} will stand up and take Kingdom power, and Daniel's time of World peril will begin, ending with the War of the Great Day of God The Almighty at Armageddon. {Matthew 24:29,30} {Daniel 12:1,2} {Revelation 16:13-16} {Jeremiah 25:31-37} {Ezekiel 38:18-23}
If one wishes to speculate as to the reason those thousands of Birds fell dead to this earth, and those many thousands of fishes were propelled from those rivers and streams; in all liklihood, at the descent of those demons, they could have very easily have taken over the bodies of those Birds, as well as those fishes found on the banks of the rivers and streams. Exactly as they inhabited the bodies of those pigs, that jumped to their deaths after the demons took over their bodies. The following account in Mark explains that. {Mark 5:9-11}
"Now, "think of the Fig Tree and ALL the other Trees. when you see their leaves beginning to appear, you know that Summer is near. In the SAME WAY, when you see these things happening, you will know the Kingdom of God is about to come." "Remember ALL THESE THINGS will take place before the people, NOW LIVING have all died." {Luke 21:29-32} That is to say, all the people alive at this moment in time.
It is we, right now, today, who are seeing, the entire sign of the coming of Christ, in its entirety, in Kingdom Power occuring all at the same time all around this earth. We, right now, are the Generation that was not to pass away; we will see all things fulfilled. Just as Jesus promised.
So! Why has the Governing Body of the Watchtower Society failed to see the obvious? Simple! The reason is, they are not now, nor have they ever been, 'Jehovah's Spirit Directed Organization.'

Solving the riddle of 666!
One is easily thrown off track, if while reading Revelation 13:18, he/she begins by believing that this following scripture is talking about every Man alive ever since the creation of Adam; for such is not the case at all; but is talking about only one single individual. Note the words of John, and by paying close attention, you will see what I'm driving at: "Here is wisdom, let him that hath understanding count the number of the Beast; for it is the number of a Man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six." 666! Now, the question arises, what Man is John making reference to here? This Man in question, is obviously a marked Man according to Revelation 13:17!
Examine the wording of the Good News Bible, which is worded: "This calls for Wisdom. Whoever is intelligent can figure out the meaning of the number of the Beast, because the number stands for the name of someone. Its number is 666!"
Armed with that information, I went into my Greek dictionary and looked for the definition of 6, and of course, learned it was a cardinal number. One of the definitions for cardinal, was a, "deep Red color," as in the robe of a Cardinal, or red bird, bearing such a name. Red of course, is, as you know, is the color of Blood. As in, as you'll see, Blood-Guilt in this case. It can also mean, "How Many," as in 1,2,3 and so on... With that in mind, consider the killing of Abel by Cain the first of the killing of the righteous ones, by the seed of satan; who, according to Jehovah's word's Blood was crying out to him from the ground for vengeance, 'like a voice crying out for revenge,' the account tells us. {Genesis 4:8-10} The account tells us that Cain was placed under a curse, because the ground had soaked up his Brother's Blood. {Genesis 4:11,12} Cain was concerned that anyone finding him would kill him; and Jehovah had told him: "If anyone kills you, seven lives will be taken in revenge." So Jehovah put a mark on Cain as a warning to anyone, not to kill him. At this point, we apply the first Six, which was the mark Cain bore. indicative of Blood-Guilt!
Lamech who was also one of the seed of the Woman, as was Abel, hence a righteous one, as was Abel, showed how the Blood-Guilt would intensify if anyone killed him who had himself killed a Man in self defence, who had struck him. Notice the words of Lamech now: "I have killed a young Man because he struck me. Then showing how the Blood-Guilt would intensify, he said: "If Seven lives are taken for killing Cain, Seventy Seven will be taken if anyone kills me." So, ever increasing Blood-Guilt, as killings would continue.
With those words, Lamech has shown us, that, there would be a second period of time, in which the second Six would have application, producing even heavier Blood-Guilt, because of the killing of Jehovah's Prophet's and Holy Ones. We know the Israelite Nation as a whole, had reverted over to the seed of satan the devil, and for almost six thousand years persecuted and murdered, Jehovah's Prophet's sent to them to warn them all of their wicked ways, but they refused to listen to those, Prophet's, and killed them for delivering Jehovah's warning messages. This persecution carried over to the first Century, as they murdered even the Son of God, stoned Steven to death; put James to death by the Sword, and overall, brutally persecuted all the first Century followers of the Christ, amassing heavy Blood_against themselves. Much Blood now was crying out from the ground for vengeance. The Apostle John, in his Revelation allduded, to this killing of the Prophet's and Holy Ones, in his following words, as follows: "I heard the Angel in charge of the waters, say, "The judgments you have made are just O Holy One, you who are, and who were!They poured out the Blood of God's People and of the Prophet's, and so you have given them Blood to drink. They are getting what they deserve." {Revelation 16:5,6} John continues, and while he does, he shows us by pointing to where the third and final six would come into play, in these words: "Then the Lamb broke open the fifth seal, and I saw underneath the Alter the souls of those who had been killed because they had proclaimed God's word and had been faithful in their witnessing. They shouted in a loud voice, Almighty Lord, holy and true! How long will it be until you judge the people on earth and punish them for killing us? Each of them was given a white rob, and they were told to rest a little while longer, until the complete number of other servants and believers were killed as they had been killed." {Revelation 6:9-11} At this point, John is directing our attention to the time period the sign of the coming of the Christ was in progress; at which time, the other servants and believers would be killed, as those underneath the Alter had been killed. This is the last and final Six, where massive Bloodguilt would be incurred by these murdering seed of satan the devil. Note now the words of Jesus: "Then you will be arrested and handed over to be punished and be put to death. Everyone will hate you because of me." {Matthew 24:9} This of course is when the Christ intervenes to save the lives of the chosen ones, at the height of the great tribulation. {Matthew 24:21,22} Just prior to Armageddon.
John next shows us in pictorial language, just who it is that is responsible for this massive Blood-Guilt, for Red, as we know, is the color of Blood. Note his next description of a Red Beast: "The Spirit took control of me, and the Angel carried me to a desert. There I saw a Woman sitting on a Red Beast that had names insulting to God written all over it; the Beast had seven Heads and Ten Horns. The Woman was dressed in purple and Scarlet, and covered with Gold ornaments, precious stones, and pearls. In her hand she held a Gold cup full of obscene and filthy things, the result of her [spiritual] immorality. On her forehead was written a name, that has a secret meaning: "Great Babylon, the Mother of all {Spiritual} prostitutes and perverts in the World. And I saw that the Woman was drunk with the Blood of God's people and the Blood of those who had been killed because they had been loyal to Jesus." {Revelation 17:3-6}
These Seven Heads, are satan's ruling dynasties of Kings significant to Bible Prophecy, in their continuing forms all down through this World's History. Notice this Beast is colored Red, or scarlet, in this scenario; indicative of Blood-Guilt. Notice too, this Woman is arrayed in scarlet color, picturing, very bright red. even more BloodGuilt; My dictionary defines, scarlet, as "Sin, or Sinful, Whorish." and notice John calls this Woman, the Mother of all Prostitutes, or pervert's in the World.'
The Ten horns, are tied in with Daniel's Vision of a fourth and last World Power with Ten Horns in association with it. {Daniel 7:7,8} This of course would be, the British American World Powers of today. Who themselves have incurred heavy Blood-Guilt in killing 100 Million in two World Wars in our Century alone. Not to mention the Atom-Bombing of two Japanese Cities, that took the lives of 100's of thousands more; and the Blood-Guilt mounts as killings continue in the conflicts going on today at this time, around this World.
Does the Bible aid us in any way, in showing exactly what entity this Woman might be representative of? Notice Jehovah's words to the Israelite Nation, while he was their husbandly owner: "O how I am filled up with rage against you,' is the utterance of the sovereign lord, Jehovah by your doing all these things, the Work of a Woman, a domineering prostitute." {Ezekiel 16: 30} {Read entire Chapter} So, the entire Israelite Nation in a covenant relationship with Jehovah, was a religious Organinization, as is Babylon the Great, the Mother of the harlot's. Much worse than the Israelite Nation, being the Mother of all harlot's.
Jesus too, had laid a scathing denunciation on those early Jews, that clearly revealed, the wicked course they were all on now, when he stated the following to them: "If the Son sets you free, then you will be really free. I know you are Abraham's descendants. Yet you are trying to kill me, because you will not accept my teaching. I talk about what my Father has shown me, but you do what your Father has told you." They answered him, 'Our father is Abraham." If you really were Abraham's children," Jesus replied, 'you would do the same things that he did. All I have ever done is to tell you the truth I heard from God, yet you are trying to kill me. Abraham did nothing like this! You are doing what your Father did." "God himself is the only Father we have," they answered, "and we are his true children." Jesus said to them, "If God really was your Father, you would love me, because I came from God and now I am here. I did not come of my own authority, but he sent me. Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to listen to my message. You are the Children of your father, the devil, and you want to follow your father's desires. From the very beginning, he was a murderer and has never been on the side of truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he is only doing what is natural to him, because he is a liar and the father of all lies. But I tell the truth, and that is why you do not believe me? He who comes from God listens to God's words. You, however, are not from God, and that is why you will not listen." {John 8: 36-47}
From that, it is clear, those Jew's had reverted over to the seed of satan the devil, and they manifested the foretold enmity between the seed of satan, and the seed of the Woman, by killing all of the Prophet's Jehovah sent to warn them away from their satanic murderous wickedness. Accruing great Bloodguilt against themselves, by the murder of Jehovah's Prophet's.{Genesis 3:15} {2 Chronicles 36:15,16} {1 Kings 19:10}
Matthew, too, reported on this condemnation, to the heavy Blood-Guilt, they brought upon themselves, and would yet bring even heavier Blood-Guilt by the murder, and crucifiction of the very Son of God; not too mention the stoning of the Apostle Steven, and the killing of James by the sword, as well the brutal persecution of the Christian Congregation, in the first Century. Notice, now, the words of Jesus to those early Jews, identifying them as the seed of satan the devil, by these following words: "You Snakes, and Children of Snakes! How do you expect to escape from being condemned to Hell? {Ge-hen'na} And so I tell you that I will send you Prophet's and wise Men and teachers, you will kill some of them, crucify others, and whip others in the Synagogues and chase them from Town to Town. As a result, the punishment for the murder of all innocent people will fall on you, from the murder of innocent Abel to the the murder of Zechariah son of Barechiah, whom you murdered between the Temple and the Alter. I tell you indeed: the punishment for all these murders will fall on the people of this day." {Matthew 23:33-36}
At this point, the mark 666 would not necessarily have to be a literal visible mark for all to see, as it was not, because it would be widely known, the Jews had killed the true Messiah, as it would be in the case of Cain who killed Abel. That also, at that time, would be widely known, and they would have known to kill Cain, would require the killing of seven others, in revenge. So Cain would have been given a very wide berth, and he would have been avoided like the plague. There were, at that time, witnesses that would have known about Cain's evil deed, and, no doubt, Cain's actions would have become public knowledge. Without displaying the mark, in visible fashion 666; although that would have been the mark of Cain. In similar fashion, the murder of the Christ was witnessed to by his Apostles and all of his first Century followers; so that Peter could say the following: "The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our ancestors, has given divine glory to his servant Jesus. But you handed him over to the authorities, and you rejected him in Pilate's presence, even after Pilate had decided to set him free. He was Holy and Good, but you rejected him, and instead you asked Pilate to do you the favor of turning loose a murderer. You killed the one who leads to life, but God raised him from death- and we are witnesses to this." {Acts 3:13-15}
So, very heavy Blood-Guilt was laid at the feet of the Jewish Nation, for their murderous actions all down throughout the Centuries right up until the Christ arrived on the scene, when they murdered him, stoned Steven to death, killed James by the Sword, and brutally persecuted all of the followers of the Christ, heaping upon themselves massive Blood-Guilt for killing even the very Son Of God. Our Lord, Jesus Christ! {Matthew 27: 45-50} {Acts 7:51-60;8:1-3} {Acts 12:1-5} We see by the killing of James, the rulers too, were Blood-Guilty, of all the killing that went on then.
If there is one thing that is not needed, that would show this mark 666 is this satanic induced hatred that is displayed by the seed of satan the devil's seed, for the seed of the Woman. That hatred alone shows they all bear the mark of Cain, 666, that mark shows the massive Blood-Guilt they have incurred, because of that foretold enmity, in the garden of Eden, when Jehovah passed sentence on satan the devil.
One other thing, that will identify those with this mark, during the time the sign of the coming of the Christ is in progress, is the foretold hatred and murder of the followers of the Christ in these following words of Jesus: "Then People will deliver you up to tribulation and will kill you, and you will be objects of hatred by all the Nations on account of my name." {Matthew 24:9} So, from that we learn, all the Nations are marked as Blood-Guilty during this time period, because of thier murderous hatred displayed by the seed of satan the devil, for the true seed of the Woman. This hatred initiated by satan the devil who wages War with the remaining ones of the seed of the Woman, as John foretold at {Revelation 12:17}
So, even then, those early Jews, would not show the visible mark 666, but as I said, it was public knowledge, and widely known at that time, because of those Witnesses; as it is today, because of what the Bible record reveals about the matter. Not even today, would anyone bear the visible number 666 for all to see in literal fashion. But is evidenced by the actions displayed by the seed of satan the devil, showing this great foretold hatred, towards the seed of the Woman, as foretold in Genesis 3:15.
We will remember that Jesus, told those first Century Jews that they were held liable for all of the righteous Blood spilled on earth, and we will remember he was talking about, all those like them, that made up, "Babylon the great, the Mother of all harlot's." Although Jesus never specifically mentioned them by name, the Apostle John speaking about this World-Wide false Religious organization, that exists today, he termed, "Babylon the great, the Mother of the harlots and disgusting things of the earth," adding that, "The Woman you saw is the great City that rules over the Kings of the earth; then he tells us, "Babylon was punished because the Blood of the Prophet's and of God's People was found in the City; yes, the Blood of all those who have been killed on earth." {Revelation 17:18;18:24} Next John tells us, "And I saw the Woman was drunk with the Blood of God's people and the Blood of those who were killed because they had been loyal to Jesus." {Revelation 17:6}
We see, in John's description, of this Woman sitting on a Red Beast, the Beast itself, being as it is Red in color, is itself Blood Guilty, while this Woman in question is scarlet in color, showing the she is even more reprehensible, more sinful, even more Blood-Guilty than this Red Beast. This Woman has been maneauvering this Red Beast to carry out her will in destroying God's people, exactly as those first Century Jews influenced the ruling authorities, in their own day, to carry out the crucifiction of the Christ, even killing those that were loyal to the Christ. {Revelation 17:3-6} Then John tells us that a voice out of heaven issues the command, to, "Come out of her my people Come out from her! You must not take part in her sins; you must not share in her punishment! For her sins have piled up as high as heaven, and God remembers her wicked ways. Treat her exactly as she has treated you; pay her back double for all she has done. Fill her cup with a drink twice as strong, as the drink she prepared for you. Give her as much suffering and grief as the glory and luxery she gave herself. for she keeps telling herself: 'Here I sit a queen! I am no widow, I will never know grief!' Because of this, in one day she will be struck with plagues - disease, grief, and famine. and she will be burned with fire, because Jehovah God who judges her is mighty."
Some will argue, that the mark of the Beast, was a literal mark, I would say to that, if it was, it had to be 666, and I'll show you why I say that. Notice Revelation 13:18 which tells us this: "This calls for wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the Beast, for it is the number of a Man; and his number is six hundred three-score and six." Now, the question arises, what Man is in question here, that bears this number 666? The only man I know in the Bible, who was a marked Man, was Cain, who murdered righteous Abel. Jehovah had said to Cain: ..."Therefore who-so-ever slayeth Cain, vengeance will be taken on him seven-fold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest anyone finding him should kill him." So, being as he was a marked Man, that mark had to be 666 that signified the fact that he was Blood-Guilty for killing righteous Abel.
It's obvious, Cain could only have been killed once, and only seven would be required in vengeance, is that not, correct?
The name of this Scarlet-Colored Wild Beast, in this instance is Cain, because they have followed in the murderous path of Cain, is that also not correct? {Jude 11}
The number of its name would be the quantity of blood that was spilled by this Scarlet-Colored Wild-Beast, ridden by this Woman also scarlet in color. The color Scarlet picturing massive Blood-Guilt.
It was a Man's number, because Cain was the first to kill a righteous one. In this case Abel.
In that there are three sixes, would mark an increase in Blood-Guilt until it reached massive maximum proportions. In the last days.
So, that mark on Cain that was to serve as a warning, was a warning to all Mankind! You kill someone, seven others would be required to exact vengeance. Not only to those of Cain's own day. Whose murder of Abel would have been widely known. They would have known, that to kill Cain 7 others would be required, to exact vengeance. for his killing. Hence the reason for the increase in Blood-guilt amounting to 666. Which is massive Blood-Guilt, in quantity. With three sixes factored all together, being as they are an expoential number; no one could know exactly how many had beed killed, throughout this World's history. But however many, their voices, like Abel's will be crying out from the ground for vengeance. {Genesis 4:10}
Neither this Scarlet-Colored Wild Beast, nor any of its supporters today bear a literal Phsyical mark; nor does the Woman attired in Scarlet, nor any of her adherants: But their Blood-Guilt that they are held guilty of certainly marks them for all to see, as would have been the case with Cain. The pages of this Worlds' History are literally drenched in Blood, for all to read today. Not too mention what the Bible record reveals, about Blood-Guilt.
It was as Jehovah had said to Noah after the flood; "Anyone shedding Man's Blood, by Man will his own blood be shed." {Genesis 9:6} So there was a definite mark alright, but not a literal mark , as Jehovah through the pen of Jeremiah, makes that very clear, in these following words: "Also in your skirts there have been found the Blood-Marks of the souls of the innocent poor ones. Not in the act of breaking in have I found them, but they are upon all these." {Jeremaiah 2:34}
Under the old Law, was a thief to be killed in the act of breaking in, gets struck and dies, there was no blood-guilt; that is, if it was dark, but if 'the Sun had shone forth upon him,' and he was killed, there was blood-guilt exacted for his death.' [Exodus 22:2} They would become Blood-Guilty for even that kind of killing.
Jehovah made it very clear, by telling them: "In your skirts, there have been found the Blood marks of the innocent poor ones; they were wanton deliberate murderers. With heavy Blood-Guilt upon them. It wasn't just done in the act of breaking in, in the dark. it was wilfull deliberate murder, on their parts.
In saying,'In your skirt's,' Jehovah was making reference to the entire Israelite Nation who had reverted over to the seed of satan the devil, as was Cain. The first human to murder a righteous one, and become, for that murder, Blood-Guilty. Such as Abel was, a righteous one, the seed of the Woman. {Genesis 3:15} Notice, now, what Jesus had said to those early Jews: "Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the killer of the Prophet's and stoner of those sent forth to her, -- how often I wanted to gather your Children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks together under her wings!" But you people did not want it.' ... {Matthew 23:37-39} Then, he continues: "Serpent's, offspiring of Vipers, how are you to flee from the judgment of Ge-hen'na? For this reason here I am sending forth to you Prophets and Wise Men and public instructors. Some of them you will kill and impale, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from City to City, that there may come upon you all the Righteous Blood spilled on earth, from the Blood of righteous Abel to the Blood of Zechariah son of Barachiah, whom you murdered between the sanctury and the alter." {Matthew 23:33-36}
We know from Peters words at 1 Peter 4:17, Judgment came on the house of God in 70 AD, when the Roman General Titus attacked Jerusalem tearing up Ten Miles of surrounding forest land, and building a wall of pointed stakes all around the City of Jerusalem; killing 1 Million Jews and leading the remainder off captive. When he was through with his attack there was, 'not a stone left upon a stone,' of the Jewish Temple exactly as Jesus had foretold; it was fulfilled to the letter. {Luke 19:41-44} It was as Jesus foretold: "All these things will come upon this generation." {Matthew 23:36} So vengeance was taken by Jehovah on those early Jews in 70AD to atone for all of the Blood-guilt, for the killing of all of his righteous ones. All the righteous Blood spilled on earth came upon them in that fateful year. Recorded secular History attests to that, as a fact. We need no literal number inscribed on anyone, to know all about the record of Blood-Guilt established by the Jewish Nation; all down through tbis World's recorded History. That secular record does not stand alone, for it is also indelibly inscribed on every page of the Bible. All one needs do, is read, and heed.
One notices in John's account of this seven headed Scarlet Colored, Blood-Guilty Wild Beast, this Woman also attired in Scarlet, is, 'drunk with the Blood of the Holy Ones and the Blood of the Witnesses of Jesus; John mentions these ones again at Revelation 6:9-11 in these following words: ... "I saw underneath the Alter the souls of those slaughtered because of the word of God and because of the witness work they used to have, and they cried with a loud voice, saying: "Until when Sovereign Lord holy and true, are you refraining from judging and avenging our Blood upon those who dwell on the earth?" And a White robe was given to each of them; and they were told to rest a little while longer, until the number was filled also of their fellow slaves and their Brother's who were about to be killed as they also had been." {Revelation 6:9-11} So, their very silence alone on this matter, has brought massive Blood-Guilt against them. never mind their involvement, in the two massive slaughters of our own Century in the form of World-War one and two, and all of the ensuing wars that followed. Right down to this very moment in time.
Jesus foretold, that this final killing, of these 'fellow slaves,' and 'their Brothers,' would be taking place somewhere near the height, or zenith of the great tribulation, at which point, 'those days would be cut short, to save the lives of the remaining chosen ones.' When the Christ finally intervenes, and draws a halt to this murdering, World-Wide, Blood-lusting, Blood-Guilty Political Regime's, and it's whorish Religious Woman seated on its back. Who is none other, in our own day, than the entire realm of Religious Blood-Guilty Christendom. {Matthew 24:9,21,22} Who both bear the mark 666! But this is not a literal mark, it is a fact of this World's Blood-Guilty History. Every Politician on this earth; their supporters, any and every follower of this World's Religions bear the mark, 666! Because of the heavy Blood-Guilt that they have incurred; more notebly, for the Wars of our Century alone, where 100 Million voices are crying out from the ground for vengeance.
That vengeance will come, when Jehovah, 'makes an extermination, indeed a terrible one, of all the inhabitants of the earth.' As foretold by Zephania the Prophet. {1:14-18}
The pages of this World's history, are marked with the number of the bloodguilt of Cain, 666! Is it not also true, that every year, they dawn the Red Poppy? Does not that Red Poppy signify their Blood-Guilt; the mark of Cain? Does not all of this solve the riddle of 666? Does not religious Christendom profess to be the one true religion, entrusted with delivering the message of the Bible? Have they not failed to deliver the message of the Bible? To take seriously, Jehovah's own words to them, as follows: "When I say to someone wicked, O wicked one you will positively die!" but you do not speak out to warn the wicked one from his way, he himself as a wicked one will die in his own error but his blood I shall ask back at your own hand." {Ezekiel 33:7-9}
Their Blood-Guilt is heavy, and Jehovah requires vengeance be taken for it at Armageddon, now,very near!

Solving the riddle of 666!
One is easily thrown off track, if while reading Revelation 13:18, he/she begins by believing that this following scripture is talking about every Man alive ever since the creation of Adam; for such is not the case at all; but is talking about only one single individual. Note the words of John, and by paying close attention, you will see what I'm driving at: "Here is wisdom, let him that hath understanding count the number of the Beast; for it is the number of a Man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six." 666! Now, the question arises, what Man is John making reference to here? This Man in question, is obviously a marked Man according to Revelation 13:17!
Examine the wording of the Good News Bible, which is worded: "This calls for Wisdom. Whoever is intelligent can figure out the meaning of the number of the Beast, because the number stands for the name of someone. Its number is 666!"
Armed with that information, I went into my Greek dictionary and looked for the definition of 6, and of course, learned it was a cardinal number. One of the definitions for cardinal, was a, "deep Red color," as in the robe of a Cardinal, or red bird, bearing such a name. Red of course, is, as you know, is the color of Blood. As in, as you'll see, Blood-Guilt in this case. It can also mean, "How Many," as in 1,2,3 and so on... With that in mind, consider the killing of Abel by Cain the first of the killing of the righteous ones, by the seed of satan; who, according to Jehovah's word's Blood was crying out to him from the ground for vengeance, 'like a voice crying out for revenge,' the account tells us. {Genesis 4:8-10} The account tells us that Cain was placed under a curse, because the ground had soaked up his Brother's Blood. {Genesis 4:11,12} Cain was concerned that anyone finding him would kill him; and Jehovah had told him: "If anyone kills you, seven lives will be taken in revenge." So Jehovah put a mark on Cain as a warning to anyone, not to kill him. At this point, we apply the first Six, which was the mark Cain bore. indicative of Blood-Guilt!
Lamech who was also one of the seed of the Woman, as was Abel, hence a righteous one, as was Abel, showed how the Blood-Guilt would intensify if anyone killed him who had himself killed a Man in self defence, who had struck him. Notice the words of Lamech now: "I have killed a young Man because he struck me. Then showing how the Blood-Guilt would intensify, he said: "If Seven lives are taken for killing Cain, Seventy Seven will be taken if anyone kills me." So, ever increasing Blood-Guilt, as killings would continue.
With those words, Lamech has shown us, that, there would be a second period of time, in which the second Six would have application, producing even heavier Blood-Guilt, because of the killing of Jehovah's Prophet's and Holy Ones. We know the Israelite Nation as a whole, had reverted over to the seed of satan the devil, and for almost six thousand years persecuted and murdered, Jehovah's Prophet's sent to them to warn them all of their wicked ways, but they refused to listen to those, Prophet's, and killed them for delivering Jehovah's warning messages. This persecution carried over to the first Century, as they murdered even the Son of God, stoned Steven to death; put James to death by the Sword, and overall, brutally persecuted all the first Century followers of the Christ, amassing heavy Blood_against themselves. Much Blood now was crying out from the ground for vengeance. The Apostle John, in his Revelation allduded, to this killing of the Prophet's and Holy Ones, in his following words, as follows: "I heard the Angel in charge of the waters, say, "The judgments you have made are just O Holy One, you who are, and who were!They poured out the Blood of God's People and of the Prophet's, and so you have given them Blood to drink. They are getting what they deserve." {Revelation 16:5,6} John continues, and while he does, he shows us by pointing to where the third and final six would come into play, in these words: "Then the Lamb broke open the fifth seal, and I saw underneath the Alter the souls of those who had been killed because they had proclaimed God's word and had been faithful in their witnessing. They shouted in a loud voice, Almighty Lord, holy and true! How long will it be until you judge the people on earth and punish them for killing us? Each of them was given a white rob, and they were told to rest a little while longer, until the complete number of other servants and believers were killed as they had been killed." {Revelation 6:9-11} At this point, John is directing our attention to the time period the sign of the coming of the Christ was in progress; at which time, the other servants and believers would be killed, as those underneath the Alter had been killed. This is the last and final Six, where massive Bloodguilt would be incurred by these murdering seed of satan the devil. Note now the words of Jesus: "Then you will be arrested and handed over to be punished and be put to death. Everyone will hate you because of me." {Matthew 24:9} This of course is when the Christ intervenes to save the lives of the chosen ones, at the height of the great tribulation. {Matthew 24:21,22} Just prior to Armageddon.
John next shows us in pictorial language, just who it is that is responsible for this massive Blood-Guilt, for Red, as we know, is the color of Blood. Note his next description of a Red Beast: "The Spirit took control of me, and the Angel carried me to a desert. There I saw a Woman sitting on a Red Beast that had names insulting to God written all over it; the Beast had seven Heads and Ten Horns. The Woman was dressed in purple and Scarlet, and covered with Gold ornaments, precious stones, and pearls. In her hand she held a Gold cup full of obscene and filthy things, the result of her [spiritual] immorality. On her forehead was written a name, that has a secret meaning: "Great Babylon, the Mother of all {Spiritual} prostitutes and perverts in the World. And I saw that the Woman was drunk with the Blood of God's people and the Blood of those who had been killed because they had been loyal to Jesus." {Revelation 17:3-6}
These Seven Heads, are satan's ruling dynasties of Kings significant to Bible Prophecy, in their continuing forms all down through this World's History. Notice this Beast is colored Red, or scarlet, in this scenario; indicative of Blood-Guilt. Notice too, this Woman is arrayed in scarlet color, picturing, very bright red. even more BloodGuilt; My dictionary defines, scarlet, as "Sin, or Sinful, Whorish." and notice John calls this Woman, the Mother of all Prostitutes, or pervert's in the World.'
The Ten horns, are tied in with Daniel's Vision of a fourth and last World Power with Ten Horns in association with it. {Daniel 7:7,8} This of course would be, the British American World Powers of today. Who themselves have incurred heavy Blood-Guilt in killing 100 Million in two World Wars in our Century alone. Not to mention the Atom-Bombing of two Japanese Cities, that took the lives of 100's of thousands more; and the Blood-Guilt mounts as killings continue in the conflicts going on today at this time, around this World.
Does the Bible aid us in any way, in showing exactly what entity this Woman might be representative of? Notice Jehovah's words to the Israelite Nation, while he was their husbandly owner: "O how I am filled up with rage against you,' is the utterance of the sovereign lord, Jehovah by your doing all these things, the Work of a Woman, a domineering prostitute." {Ezekiel 16: 30} {Read entire Chapter} So, the entire Israelite Nation in a covenant relationship with Jehovah, was a religious Organinization, as is Babylon the Great, the Mother of the harlot's. Much worse than the Israelite Nation, being the Mother of all harlot's.
Jesus too, had laid a scathing denunciation on those early Jews, that clearly revealed, the wicked course they were all on now, when he stated the following to them: "If the Son sets you free, then you will be really free. I know you are Abraham's descendants. Yet you are trying to kill me, because you will not accept my teaching. I talk about what my Father has shown me, but you do what your Father has told you." They answered him, 'Our father is Abraham." If you really were Abraham's children," Jesus replied, 'you would do the same things that he did. All I have ever done is to tell you the truth I heard from God, yet you are trying to kill me. Abraham did nothing like this! You are doing what your Father did." "God himself is the only Father we have," they answered, "and we are his true children." Jesus said to them, "If God really was your Father, you would love me, because I came from God and now I am here. I did not come of my own authority, but he sent me. Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to listen to my message. You are the Children of your father, the devil, and you want to follow your father's desires. From the very beginning, he was a murderer and has never been on the side of truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he is only doing what is natural to him, because he is a liar and the father of all lies. But I tell the truth, and that is why you do not believe me? He who comes from God listens to God's words. You, however, are not from God, and that is why you will not listen." {John 8: 36-47}
From that, it is clear, those Jew's had reverted over to the seed of satan the devil, and they manifested the foretold enmity between the seed of satan, and the seed of the Woman, by killing all of the Prophet's Jehovah sent to warn them away from their satanic murderous wickedness. Accruing great Bloodguilt against themselves, by the murder of Jehovah's Prophet's.{Genesis 3:15} {2 Chronicles 36:15,16} {1 Kings 19:10}
Matthew, too, reported on this condemnation, to the heavy Blood-Guilt, they brought upon themselves, and would yet bring even heavier Blood-Guilt by the murder, and crucifiction of the very Son of God; not too mention the stoning of the Apostle Steven, and the killing of James by the sword, as well the brutal persecution of the Christian Congregation, in the first Century. Notice, now, the words of Jesus to those early Jews, identifying them as the seed of satan the devil, by these following words: "You Snakes, and Children of Snakes! How do you expect to escape from being condemned to Hell? {Ge-hen'na} And so I tell you that I will send you Prophet's and wise Men and teachers, you will kill some of them, crucify others, and whip others in the Synagogues and chase them from Town to Town. As a result, the punishment for the murder of all innocent people will fall on you, from the murder of innocent Abel to the the murder of Zechariah son of Barechiah, whom you murdered between the Temple and the Alter. I tell you indeed: the punishment for all these murders will fall on the people of this day." {Matthew 23:33-36}
At this point, the mark 666 would not necessarily have to be a literal visible mark for all to see, as it was not, because it would be widely known, the Jews had killed the true Messiah, as it would be in the case of Cain who killed Abel. That also, at that time, would be widely known, and they would have known to kill Cain, would require the killing of seven others, in revenge. So Cain would have been given a very wide berth, and he would have been avoided like the plague. There were, at that time, witnesses that would have known about Cain's evil deed, and, no doubt, Cain's actions would have become public knowledge. Without displaying the mark, in visible fashion 666; although that would have been the mark of Cain. In similar fashion, the murder of the Christ was witnessed to by his Apostles and all of his first Century followers; so that Peter could say the following: "The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our ancestors, has given divine glory to his servant Jesus. But you handed him over to the authorities, and you rejected him in Pilate's presence, even after Pilate had decided to set him free. He was Holy and Good, but you rejected him, and instead you asked Pilate to do you the favor of turning loose a murderer. You killed the one who leads to life, but God raised him from death- and we are witnesses to this." {Acts 3:13-15}
So, very heavy Blood-Guilt was laid at the feet of the Jewish Nation, for their murderous actions all down throughout the Centuries right up until the Christ arrived on the scene, when they murdered him, stoned Steven to death, killed James by the Sword, and brutally persecuted all of the followers of the Christ, heaping upon themselves massive Blood-Guilt for killing even the very Son Of God. Our Lord, Jesus Christ! {Matthew 27: 45-50} {Acts 7:51-60;8:1-3} {Acts 12:1-5} We see by the killing of James, the rulers too, were Blood-Guilty, of all the killing that went on then.
If there is one thing that is not needed, that would show this mark 666 is this satanic induced hatred that is displayed by the seed of satan the devil's seed, for the seed of the Woman. That hatred alone shows they all bear the mark of Cain, 666, that mark shows the massive Blood-Guilt they have incurred, because of that foretold enmity, in the garden of Eden, when Jehovah passed sentence on satan the devil.
One other thing, that will identify those with this mark, during the time the sign of the coming of the Christ is in progress, is the foretold hatred and murder of the followers of the Christ in these following words of Jesus: "Then People will deliver you up to tribulation and will kill you, and you will be objects of hatred by all the Nations on account of my name." {Matthew 24:9} So, from that we learn, all the Nations are marked as Blood-Guilty during this time period, because of thier murderous hatred displayed by the seed of satan the devil, for the true seed of the Woman. This hatred initiated by satan the devil who wages War with the remaining ones of the seed of the Woman, as John foretold at {Revelation 12:17}
So, even then, those early Jews, would not show the visible mark 666, but as I said, it was public knowledge, and widely known at that time, because of those Witnesses; as it is today, because of what the Bible record reveals about the matter. Not even today, would anyone bear the visible number 666 for all to see in literal fashion. But is evidenced by the actions displayed by the seed of satan the devil, showing this great foretold hatred, towards the seed of the Woman, as foretold in Genesis 3:15.
We will remember that Jesus, told those first Century Jews that they were held liable for all of the righteous Blood spilled on earth, and we will remember he was talking about, all those like them, that made up, "Babylon the great, the Mother of all harlot's." Although Jesus never specifically mentioned them by name, the Apostle John speaking about this World-Wide false Religious organization, that exists today, he termed, "Babylon the great, the Mother of the harlots and disgusting things of the earth," adding that, "The Woman you saw is the great City that rules over the Kings of the earth; then he tells us, "Babylon was punished because the Blood of the Prophet's and of God's People was found in the City; yes, the Blood of all those who have been killed on earth." {Revelation 17:18;18:24} Next John tells us, "And I saw the Woman was drunk with the Blood of God's people and the Blood of those who were killed because they had been loyal to Jesus." {Revelation 17:6}
We see, in John's description, of this Woman sitting on a Red Beast, the Beast itself, being as it is Red in color, is itself Blood Guilty, while this Woman in question is scarlet in color, showing the she is even more reprehensible, more sinful, even more Blood-Guilty than this Red Beast. This Woman has been maneauvering this Red Beast to carry out her will in destroying God's people, exactly as those first Century Jews influenced the ruling authorities, in their own day, to carry out the crucifiction of the Christ, even killing those that were loyal to the Christ. {Revelation 17:3-6} Then John tells us that a voice out of heaven issues the command, to, "Come out of her my people Come out from her! You must not take part in her sins; you must not share in her punishment! For her sins have piled up as high as heaven, and God remembers her wicked ways. Treat her exactly as she has treated you; pay her back double for all she has done. Fill her cup with a drink twice as strong, as the drink she prepared for you. Give her as much suffering and grief as the glory and luxery she gave herself. for she keeps telling herself: 'Here I sit a queen! I am no widow, I will never know grief!' Because of this, in one day she will be struck with plagues - disease, grief, and famine. and she will be burned with fire, because Jehovah God who judges her is mighty."
Some will argue, that the mark of the Beast, was a literal mark, I would say to that, if it was, it had to be 666, and I'll show you why I say that. Notice Revelation 13:18 which tells us this: "This calls for wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the Beast, for it is the number of a Man; and his number is six hundred three-score and six." Now, the question arises, what Man is in question here, that bears this number 666? The only man I know in the Bible, who was a marked Man, was Cain, who murdered righteous Abel. Jehovah had said to Cain: ..."Therefore who-so-ever slayeth Cain, vengeance will be taken on him seven-fold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest anyone finding him should kill him." So, being as he was a marked Man, that mark had to be 666 that signified the fact that he was Blood-Guilty for killing righteous Abel.
It's obvious, Cain could only have been killed once, and only seven would be required in vengeance, is that not, correct?
The name of this Scarlet-Colored Wild Beast, in this instance is Cain, because they have followed in the murderous path of Cain, is that also not correct? {Jude 11}
The number of its name would be the quantity of blood that was spilled by this Scarlet-Colored Wild-Beast, ridden by this Woman also scarlet in color. The color Scarlet picturing massive Blood-Guilt.
It was a Man's number, because Cain was the first to kill a righteous one. In this case Abel.
In that there are three sixes, would mark an increase in Blood-Guilt until it reached massive maximum proportions. In the last days.
So, that mark on Cain that was to serve as a warning, was a warning to all Mankind! You kill someone, seven others would be required to exact vengeance. Not only to those of Cain's own day. Whose murder of Abel would have been widely known. They would have known, that to kill Cain 7 others would be required, to exact vengeance. for his killing. Hence the reason for the increase in Blood-guilt amounting to 666. Which is massive Blood-Guilt, in quantity. With three sixes factored all together, being as they are an expoential number; no one could know exactly how many had beed killed, throughout this World's history. But however many, their voices, like Abel's will be crying out from the ground for vengeance. {Genesis 4:10}
Neither this Scarlet-Colored Wild Beast, nor any of its supporters today bear a literal Phsyical mark; nor does the Woman attired in Scarlet, nor any of her adherants: But their Blood-Guilt that they are held guilty of certainly marks them for all to see, as would have been the case with Cain. The pages of this Worlds' History are literally drenched in Blood, for all to read today. Not too mention what the Bible record reveals, about Blood-Guilt.
It was as Jehovah had said to Noah after the flood; "Anyone shedding Man's Blood, by Man will his own blood be shed." {Genesis 9:6} So there was a definite mark alright, but not a literal mark , as Jehovah through the pen of Jeremiah, makes that very clear, in these following words: "Also in your skirts there have been found the Blood-Marks of the souls of the innocent poor ones. Not in the act of breaking in have I found them, but they are upon all these." {Jeremaiah 2:34}
Under the old Law, was a thief to be killed in the act of breaking in, gets struck and dies, there was no blood-guilt; that is, if it was dark, but if 'the Sun had shone forth upon him,' and he was killed, there was blood-guilt exacted for his death.' [Exodus 22:2} They would become Blood-Guilty for even that kind of killing.
Jehovah made it very clear, by telling them: "In your skirts, there have been found the Blood marks of the innocent poor ones; they were wanton deliberate murderers. With heavy Blood-Guilt upon them. It wasn't just done in the act of breaking in, in the dark. it was wilfull deliberate murder, on their parts.
In saying,'In your skirt's,' Jehovah was making reference to the entire Israelite Nation who had reverted over to the seed of satan the devil, as was Cain. The first human to murder a righteous one, and become, for that murder, Blood-Guilty. Such as Abel was, a righteous one, the seed of the Woman. {Genesis 3:15} Notice, now, what Jesus had said to those early Jews: "Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the killer of the Prophet's and stoner of those sent forth to her, -- how often I wanted to gather your Children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks together under her wings!" But you people did not want it.' ... {Matthew 23:37-39} Then, he continues: "Serpent's, offspiring of Vipers, how are you to flee from the judgment of Ge-hen'na? For this reason here I am sending forth to you Prophets and Wise Men and public instructors. Some of them you will kill and impale, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from City to City, that there may come upon you all the Righteous Blood spilled on earth, from the Blood of righteous Abel to the Blood of Zechariah son of Barachiah, whom you murdered between the sanctury and the alter." {Matthew 23:33-36}
We know from Peters words at 1 Peter 4:17, Judgment came on the house of God in 70 AD, when the Roman General Titus attacked Jerusalem tearing up Ten Miles of surrounding forest land, and building a wall of pointed stakes all around the City of Jerusalem; killing 1 Million Jews and leading the remainder off captive. When he was through with his attack there was, 'not a stone left upon a stone,' of the Jewish Temple exactly as Jesus had foretold; it was fulfilled to the letter. {Luke 19:41-44} It was as Jesus foretold: "All these things will come upon this generation." {Matthew 23:36} So vengeance was taken by Jehovah on those early Jews in 70AD to atone for all of the Blood-guilt, for the killing of all of his righteous ones. All the righteous Blood spilled on earth came upon them in that fateful year. Recorded secular History attests to that, as a fact. We need no literal number inscribed on anyone, to know all about the record of Blood-Guilt established by the Jewish Nation; all down through tbis World's recorded History. That secular record does not stand alone, for it is also indelibly inscribed on every page of the Bible. All one needs do, is read, and heed.
One notices in John's account of this seven headed Scarlet Colored, Blood-Guilty Wild Beast, this Woman also attired in Scarlet, is, 'drunk with the Blood of the Holy Ones and the Blood of the Witnesses of Jesus; John mentions these ones again at Revelation 6:9-11 in these following words: ... "I saw underneath the Alter the souls of those slaughtered because of the word of God and because of the witness work they used to have, and they cried with a loud voice, saying: "Until when Sovereign Lord holy and true, are you refraining from judging and avenging our Blood upon those who dwell on the earth?" And a White robe was given to each of them; and they were told to rest a little while longer, until the number was filled also of their fellow slaves and their Brother's who were about to be killed as they also had been." {Revelation 6:9-11} So, their very silence alone on this matter, has brought massive Blood-Guilt against them. never mind their involvement, in the two massive slaughters of our own Century in the form of World-War one and two, and all of the ensuing wars that followed. Right down to this very moment in time.
Jesus foretold, that this final killing, of these 'fellow slaves,' and 'their Brothers,' would be taking place somewhere near the height, or zenith of the great tribulation, at which point, 'those days would be cut short, to save the lives of the remaining chosen ones.' When the Christ finally intervenes, and draws a halt to this murdering, World-Wide, Blood-lusting, Blood-Guilty Political Regime's, and it's whorish Religious Woman seated on its back. Who is none other, in our own day, than the entire realm of Religious Blood-Guilty Christendom. {Matthew 24:9,21,22} Who both bear the mark 666! But this is not a literal mark, it is a fact of this World's Blood-Guilty History. Every Politician on this earth; their supporters, any and every follower of this World's Religions bear the mark, 666! Because of the heavy Blood-Guilt that they have incurred; more notebly, for the Wars of our Century alone, where 100 Million voices are crying out from the ground for vengeance.
That vengeance will come, when Jehovah, 'makes an extermination, indeed a terrible one, of all the inhabitants of the earth.' As foretold by Zephania the Prophet. {1:14-18}
The pages of this World's history, are marked with the number of the bloodguilt of Cain, 666! Is it not also true, that every year, they dawn the Red Poppy? Does not that Red Poppy signify their Blood-Guilt; the mark of Cain? Does not all of this solve the riddle of 666? Does not religious Christendom profess to be the one true religion, entrusted with delivering the message of the Bible? Have they not failed to deliver the message of the Bible? To take seriously, Jehovah's own words to them, as follows: "When I say to someone wicked, O wicked one you will positively die!" but you do not speak out to warn the wicked one from his way, he himself as a wicked one will die in his own error but his blood I shall ask back at your own hand." {Ezekiel 33:7-9}
Their Blood-Guilt is heavy, and Jehovah requires vengeance be taken for it at Armageddon, now,very near!
