AGUEST SAID
Quote:
The Kings and Priests of the Kingdom will be unlike anything we have expected. It will be "upside-down". Servants.
YES, dear Kassad (peace to you!)!!!!! YES! BUT... there ARE kings and priests "of the kingdom". That was the BETTER HOPE that Christ held out (versus just a resurrection, which is what Israel was hoping for).
I think, though, that by only look to the account of it in the revelation, some (like perhaps our dear, dear Char - peace to you!) OVERLOOK the accounts of it in other writings, such as Genesis, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, the Gospels, Paul's letters to the Corinthians, and the letter to the Hebrews.
True, the WTBTS is somewhat obsessed with it... actually, that's NOT true: they APPEAR to be, want it to LOOK like they are... but the TRUTH is that they are in direct OPPOSITION to it! They SHUT UP that kingdom... before men... because THEY... are NOT going in.
Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately), our dear Char doesn't seem to have been within them long enough to know the BASIS for the things they teach, and that while a lot if MOST of it IS based on what's recorded in the Bible... their POSITION and ACTUAL teachings are in total opposition, errors and lies as TO such things, fomented by false christs and false prophets.
As Christ is recorded to have said:
"The scribes and Pharisees seat THEMSELVES in the 'seat of Moses.' ... Do as they SAY and NOT as they DO."If one is paying attention while in one CAN get a good inkling of what the message... to Israel, both physical AND spiritual... was and is. But THEIR propaganda is DESIGNED to induce sleep! It is one the MOST poisonous forms of religious "opium" ever handed out to man. The fact that they call themselves the "truth," when CHRIST is the Truth, should be sign of their impostership. Unfortunately, that brainwashing (which even I succumbed to at one point) "washes" over that truth, diluting, if not removing it altogether... from the BRAINS... and hearts... of JWs.
Do we need the Bible to know God/Christ? No, we don't. We only need to
know Christ... and not know OF or know ABOUT, but KNOW... by means of being in UNION with him... as a man KNOWS a woman HE has had a union with... and by means of HIM we can know (by means of being in union with)... God. However, as he said to me:
"ALL that I tell you IS written... but not all that is written is what I will tell you."
He meant written, including in the Bible, but not ONLY in the Bible and not necessarily in the Bible. But some IS written in the Bible. How do we know, though, what to believe/receive and what to reject? All comes back to the same thing: ASK. HIM.
I have... and even WITHOUT me asking... his kingdom, and the co-rulership of his brothers... is absolutely part of the GOOD news. The part that says, "I am not only going to give you a kingdom, build it for you, but I am going to let YOU rule it... WITH me."
This is in fulfillment of what COULD have happened with Cain/Abel... Ishmael/Isaac... Esau/Jacob... Jospeh and the other 11... Saul... David... and EVERY king Israel has ever had: rather than being ENEMIES with their own brothers, these COULD have ruled TOGETHER WITH their brothers. While it wasn't the fault of the one "chosen" that he didn't, Christ is showing US... AND them... a SURPASSING way: love, even of one's enemies.
We were once enemies of Christ, by means of being enemies of God... by means of transgressions against the Law. Whether Israel (and so direct transgression, as God's people) or the nations (by means of not HAVING the Law and thus not being OF God's people). Christ, by giving HIS life IN EXCHANGE FOR OURS... FULFILLE the Law on behalf of Israel... and REMOVED it, on behalf of the nations... so that now we can be HIS friends... and thus, like Abraham, God's.
Because we are brothers AND FRIENDS... he, unlike the leaders/rulers/kings of Israel BEFORE... but LIKE Israel's FIRST chosen leader, Moses... who SHARED his leadership with HIS brother, Aaron... will has promised to share HIS kingdom with HIS brothers: those who make up his Body.
They will rule UPON the earth, from the "city" of New Jerusalem, which comes down OUT of heaven after their marriage to the Lamb. For now, such ones are PROMISED in marriage and receive a TOKEN of that promise, holy spirit. But only enough to provide a little "flame", but not change their flesh (so, no white heads/feet). THEN, however, they will receive the FULLNESS of the promise... so as to be CHANGED... to be LIKE him: incorruptible and eternal.
They share in part of his rule with him ("a thousand years" - which is NOT necessarily literal, but denotes a long time from MAN'S perspective, but is very brief in light of his rule, which is FOREVER)... which is just another feature of the GOOD news of the kingdom. Life... for ALL who receive the inheritance... along with rulership, for some... those who are "chosen."
In anticipation of that privilege, those who belong to Christ are being SUBDUED... being taught PEACE... and learning war NO MORE. And not just war as the nations understand it. Not peace, as the world knows it. But war... as in even against one's BROTHER, war on a PERSONAL level... and peace, as our Lord gives it. Meaning peace, even toward one's enemies, which COULD be members of one's own household.
The WTBTS, while touting themselves as not "learning war," by their refraining from participating in wars between world governments, regimes, etc., show themselves to have NOT learned the TRUE lesson, as CHRIST teaches it... by the "wars" they CONTINUE to create, foment, and encourage... among BROTHERS, and EVEN in households.
They don't GET it. They assume to take on wrongs against GOD, when they all exist in sin themselves. Not ONE is able to throw a stone. Yet, they sit in judgment of others. Rather than FORGIVE, they point the finger. Rather than LOOSING the yokebar, they place burdens on others they themselves are unable to bear. They DON'T get it.
But, as my Lord said of others, so is true of them: because they SAY they see... THEIR sin remains. They don't forgive; neither will they be forgiven. UNLESS... one GETS OUT OF HER. Otherwise, such one(s) WILL share in HER sins... and thus, receive part of HER plagues. Because with the SAME judgment that THEY judge... they will BE judged.
What is done in the dark WILL come to light... and it ain't limited to what's done in the bedroom, which is what most of them fear. It includes what's done... in the HEART... which will be revealed when her... and THEIR... "nakedness" IS exposed. Just as Adham's "nakedness" was covered... and hidden... the opposite will occur... and all "nakedness" will be open... and exposed.
And so I, long with the entire spirit realm still in union with the MOST HOLY One of Israel, JAH of Armies... PLEAD:
GET OUT OF HER... my people!!!!May those with ears hear... and get the SENSE of this truth... as well as when the Spirit and the Bride say to THEM:
"COME! Take 'life's water'... the holy spirit of God, the MOST HOLY One of Israel, JAH of Armies... which spirit is poured out from the innermost parts of His Son and Christ, the HOLY One of Israel, JAHESHUA, the Chosen One of JAH (MischaJah)...
