HOW FAR HAS THE "HARLOT" "MOTHER"
REACHED OUT AMONG THE PEOPLE
THROUGH HER "HARLOT" 'DAUGHTERS'?
The prophecy of God in the book of Revelation
for the period in which we now live symbolically describes spiritistic
"Babylon"
as a
"mother".
It reads: "Babylon the Great, the mother of the harlots and of the
disgusting things of the earth." (Rev 17:5).
From this
"mother"
are born many
"harlot" 'daughters'
through many generations. People of every nation have been ruined by the
"fierce wine"
(false teachings) of the
"fornication"
of
"Babylon"
and her
"harlot" 'daughters'.
(Rev 18:3
NWT NEB).
The so-called
"Great"ness of
"Babylon"
among the nations is her (and their) worldwide opposition to the Will of the
Creator of heaven and earth, Almighty God, through worship of false gods,
goddesses, graven images, dungy idols, magic, astrology, sorcery, etc. All these
are ultimately the demon worship of satan the devil, the power behind "her"
teachings. The false teachings of the
"harlot" 'daughters'
of
"Babylon"
originated in ancient Babylon, where over fifty false gods were worshipped. Her
defiance through her
"harlot" 'daughters'
has been handed down through the generations, and still continues in these and
other forms. All such sectarian worship stops up the way to the Kingdom of God.
(See Matt 23:13).
HOW FAR HAS "BABYLON" REACHED?
She has reached as far as JW members who
demonstrate deliberate coldness to
"alien residents"
(strangers to the worship of Jehovah and who do not fear Him) but claim to be
"in the truth"
(claiming full obedience to the Word of God).
(Mal 3:5). Potential "sheep"-like ones are being turned away and deprived of the
opportunity to acquire accurate knowledge of the
Will of God
by
"wolf"-like unsealed JW
'elders'
harassing "sheep"-like ones to serve them
and thereby scattering them by their bad example.
(Matt 7:15-19).
The sect falsely calling themselves Jehovah's Witnesses is a modern-day
"harlot" 'daughter'
claiming to have Divine authority but misleading its members with the
"deep things of satan"
issued through so-called
"ministers of righteousness".
(Rev 2:20-24)
(2 Cor 11:12 15). The following are some of the many bad examples which manifest
their spiritual "darkness":
|
(1) |
An unsealed
'elder'
from another district in the hearing of new
Bible students
('Bible Studies')
told a brother in the faith:
"We don't want
your 'Bible Studies', we like to get our own 'Studies'." |
|
(2) |
An unsealed
'elder'
and his wife were told to leave the house of a
married couple because they were slandering a
brother in the faith living nearby. |
|
(3) |
With reference to an anointed son of God, the wife of an unsealed
'elder'
stated publicly:
"When he is present at the
group study, we don't have Jehovah's Spirit." |
|
(4) |
Two families, totalling nine people,
left a congregation meeting before it had commenced due to the bullying of
another unsealed
'elder'. |
