JWs are the chosen "temple" sect that would appear during the last 110
years
of the 1260-year apostasy period ending in 1996. Unfortunately, as
prophesied, this same organization would become apostate.
The reference is the parable of the wheat and weeds. Good seed was
planted
but before it even appeared the Devil planted weeds. Thus when this new
sect came onto the scene, it was already infested with weeds. But a
separation of the wheat and weeds was not done at this time! Instead, the
decision was made to allow the "wheat and weeds to grow together" until
the
harvest, then a separation would take place. But very important!! Chirst
could have removed the weeds from the sect or remove the wheat and abandon
the sect. He chose the latter, abandoning the formal organization.
Thus, shortly before the second coming, as prophesied, the "man of
lawlessness" was identified. This was fulfilled simply by notifying the
GB
that they were now considered the "evil slave" and the "man of
lawlessness."
They were being cast into spiritual darkness and would no longer be
granted
holy spirit because they had made themselves a god within the
organization,
with more witnesses following the Watchtower rather than the Bible. The
importantce of the Watchtower and "loyalty to God's organization" had
created worshippers who no longer used the Bible as a final guide to
truth.
The fact that the GB is out of God's favor now is quite evident by the
abundance of their false teachings. Jehovah has turned the tables on
them,
and Christ has taken away their outer garment. Now they stand before the
world naked and ashamed because of their false teachings. Even their
recente effort to explain a "generation" is embarrassing! Fact is, the
"generation" reference was for "all things" to be fulfilled in a 40-year
generation period from the first sign, a world war, until the "sign of the
son of man" appeared. This all happened within 40 years from 1914-1954.
There is no need to reinterpret Jesus' reference to that "generation" not
passing away to fit the current misundrstanding of JWs.
The WTS GB was thus "disfellowshipped" by a letter to them by an anointed
member inspired by holy spirit. It fulfills the Bible prophecy about the
exposure of the Man of Lawlessness just before the second coming occurs
and
during the "last hour."
THE LAST HOUR: The last hour is the 12th hour, the hour when the messiah
arrives and pays the workers. A half hour in scripture is 42 months, thus
3-1/2 years. Thus a full hour is 7 years. The workers in the vineyard
work
for 11 hours from 1914 to 1991. That is 11 hours of 7 years each is 77
years. 77 plus 1914 is 1991. Thus we can calculate the "last hour" or
the
"12th hour" as 1991-1998.
The messiah would arrive during the last hour as well, but not before the
Man of Lawlessness is identified and his rulership thus symbolically
ended.
This fulfills another version of the 1290 days. Just as the gentile times
ended for the Jews in 1947 to end the 1290 days, leading to the messiah
fulfilling 1335 days in 1992, 45 years later. So the end of the apostate
rule of the GB ended a period of 1290 days into the 70th week (1989-1996).
The letter sent to the GB was sent specifically on November 10, 1992,
exactly 45 days prior to the second coming, occurring on December 25,
1992.
Then-president and chief apostate Fred Franz died on December 23, 1992
before the actual second coming took place.
WEEDS AMONG THE WHEAT: Please note that the influence of paganism,
Freemasonry, etc. is what polluted the WTS early on. Thus pyramidology
and
claiming Russell was the "angel of the congregation of Laodicea" and the
"Faithful and Wise Servant" demonstrates examples of the weed influence in
this sect. The Freemasonry connections to this cult is an issue that
won't
go away, with some claiming even the headquarters of the "Illuminati" are
connected with WTS Headquarters! Of course, Russell is buried under the
Satanic pyramid in a Freemasonry cemetery. So the rumors are not easily
dismissed.
At any rate, 2 Thess 4 was fulfilled:
1 However, brothers, respecting the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ and
our being gathered together to him, we request of YOU 2 not to be quickly
shaken from YOUR reason nor to be excited 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 the Lord is here.
3 Let no one seduce YOU in any manner, because it will not come unless the
apostasy comes first and the man of lawlessness gets revealed, the son of
destruction. 4 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, publicly showing himself to be a god."
The "temple of THE God" is non other than the public anointed ones among
Jehovah's witnesses. So in order to lord over them, the MOL must be in
charge and part of the leadership of the organization, right? So this
confirms the WTS GB would become apostate. This description fits them
perfectly since they indeed set themselves up as God's unique channel, as
if
Jehovah doesn't speak through the other anointed members. Instead the
other
anointed members, who also are "gods" become ornamental members in the
congregation regidly controlled by the WTS GB. They are not allowed to
prophesy anything outside of what is outlined in the Watchtower, which has
become more holy than the Bible.
Again, as noted, though, the MOL is "revealed" before the actual second
coming. Most would not know about this specific detail except those
involved, so I can confirm the GB was told by a letter that they were the
"evil slave" and "man of lawlessness" as prophesied and thus kicked out of
Jehovah's Heavenly Organization, something they would understand. Of
note,
individual members could repent and maintain their seat in the kingdom
though, but would never have any oversight authority again. But the
entity
of the "slave" that provides food at the proper time is cast out and into
spiritual darkness.
That is the absolute state now of what's going on with Jehovah's
witnesses.
Even so a Covenant Period ending in 1996 shifts the temple from any
fleshly
group to the spiritual temple. That means the Jews, of whom 10% of the
Bride Class must be composed, 144,000. The other 90% are gentiles. The
Jews come in through the Abrahamic Covenant and the Christians through the
Christian Covenant, with JWs up until 1996 serving as the "temple in its
right condition" for the last 110 years ending in 1996.
Of course, it's a conundrum for most who on one hand see clearly JWs as
this
promised temple organization which preaches the "good news" and has such
advanced Bible knowledge, but on the other hand so many false teachings.
This confusion is because of the mixture of the "wheat and weeds"
together.
But now, since 1993 Christ has been able to separate out the JWs who are
loyal first to the Bible from witnesses blinded by the Watchtower
propaganda
and have allowed the Bible to become a secondary reference to the
Watchtower. Christ thus has secretly marked the true "wheat" among the
witnesses and abandoned the "weeds" just as prophesied.
So true to the evil slave, which the Bible says would think Christ would
be
delaying and begin to beat his fellow servants. So, indeed, the WTS
thinks
Jesus is delaying his return and now has to stretch the concept of the
"generation" to an indefinite concept rather than a specifically limiting
one as Jesus asserted. Jesus sought to assure a limited and timely
fulfillment of "all of these things" within a generation of 40 years.
Of course, 607 BCE is definitely not the year Jerusalem falls so their
whole
1914 doctrine is BUST! There are too many false teachings now in place
to
even list!
SUMMARY: For those who clearly understand and recognize JWs as fulfilling
prophecy of preaching the "good news", then also be aware that when Christ
arrives, the WTS is cast off as apostate. So it's not black and white
for
this organization. Just because they were once in doesn't mean if they
proved unfaithful at inspection time Christ would not cast them out, which
in fact, he does! Thus what is going on with the WTS prior to November
10,
1992 has to be separated from what is fulfilled after November 10, 1992
when
they became the official "man of lawlessness" and evil slave, and then
cast
into spiritual darkness, where they now remain. They now face
destruction
in the lake of fire with Christendom (666-Beast). They are also part of
BTG now, so "Get out of her, MY people!" is relevant.
