"AND SEVEN
THOUSAND PERSONS WERE KILLED BY THE
EARTHQUAKE, AND THE REST BECAME FRIGHTENED
AND
GAVE GLORY TO THE GOD OF HEAVEN." (From Rev 11:13).
CHRISTENDOM GAVE
GLORY TO GOD IN SECTARIAN WAYS?
This fabrication is just one of many taught by JW apostates with the
intention of changing the "times and Law" of God, so that their
"trampling" of anointed ones (the "holy place")
continues during the "2,300 evenings and mornings". (Dan
8:13,14 & 7:25). This period of
"trampling" began October 1st 1972 and will end January 19th 1979,
confirmed by their written and dated testimony in the 1975 JW Yearbook (pg. 248 &
250) and in fulfilment of Daniel's prophecy.
In Revelation 11:13 it
says: "and the rest became frightened and gave glory to the God of
heaven." But according to the apostate teaching of JWs, these persons
gave glory to God
in sectarian ways! (See JW book:
'Then is Finished the Mystery of God.'
Pg.279 282). True Christians know that it is impossible to give
glory to God in sectarian ways, and that this is yet another apostate
fabrication by JWs. The "seven thousand persons" that will be
killed by the spiritual "earthquake" are apostate
covenant-leavers who manifestly refuse to accept that this scripture applies to
them. So once again JW apostates have fabricated a false explanation of the
Holy Scriptures on this occasion the meaning of Revelation 11:13.
The correct meaning of this
scripture is that from the spiritual "City" of God 7,000 apostate
covenant-leavers will perish in a spiritual "earthquake" from God.
(Dan 11:30-32). They prove unworthy of life within the "City"
because of their attempts to change the Lord's prophetic "times and Law".
(Dan 7:25). Because of knowing the reason for the deaths of these
apostates, those remaining of the spiritual "City" become
frightened and correct these teachings, enabling them to truly give glory to
God. They do not accept or promote "intense lovers" through
apostate
'changes'.
(Zech 13:4-6). As heavenly revelations in the bitter
"Little Scroll" of
Revelation 10:8-11 expose 7,000 "names"*
of apostate men, this is likened to a spiritual "earthquake" among
them. (See Page 820). Nor is it true that "the rest became frightened and
gave glory to God" by turning to the United Nations, or to any other
sectarian ways, as is taught by apostate covenant-leavers among JWs falsely
calling themselves Jehovah's Witnesses.
NAMES*
OF MEN.
This lawlessness, and the apostle Paul's warning of it, describes the
organization falsely calling themselves Jehovah's Witnesses. (2 Thess
2:3-12). Of course, such lawlessness only became manifest when those
involved were not only taught the Law of God through Christ, but learned how to
fabricate subtle changes to it. The work of this composite
"man of lawlessness" is powerful, as Paul states: "But the
lawless one's presence (in Christ's congregations) is according to
the operation of satan with every powerful work and lying signs and portents".
(2:9). But unrighteous deception is for those who are perishing,
"because they did not accept the love of the truth" but "took
pleasure in unrighteousness." (2:10-12). According to the New World
Translation of Revelation 11:13, seven thousand "names*
of men" will perish those who changed the "times and
Law" of God and received glory for their lawless explanations of His
Holy Word. They did this to achieve increase in the number of those enticed to
give glory to them (their "intense lovers"), instead of
giving glory to God.

Note 1: |
If
the "City" they died in was
'Babylonian', as JWs claim, how
could the rest become "frightened" and give glory to God in any
form? Further, if a tenth of the members of Christendom died at the time and in
the way they claim, they would have far exceeded 7,000 persons. In fact, the
number would have been many millions! |
