THE FINAL
DENUNCIATION
AND CONDEMNATION.
"And there must stand up in his position
one who is to be despised, and they will certainly not set upon
him the dignity of the kingdom; and he will actually come in during a
freedom from care and take hold of the kingdom by means of smoothness.
And as regards the arms of the flood, they will be flooded over on account of
him, and they will be broken; as will also the Leader of the covenant."
(Dan 11:21,22 NWT).
"A contemptible creature will succeed but
will not be given recognition as king; yet he will seize the kingdom by
dissimulation and intrigue in time of peace. He will sweep away all forms
of opposition as he advances, and even the Prince of the Covenant will be
broken." (Dan 11:21,22 New
English Bible).
"In place of him a despicable creature
shall arise, one on whom the royal honour is not conferred but who comes when
men are off their guard and gains the kingdom by means of crafty
promises; the opposing forces shall be swept before him and shattered,
and so shall God's high priest."
(Dan 11:21,22) (Moffatt Translation).
WHO IS THE DESPISED AND
DESPICABLE
"CONTEMPTIBLE CREATURE"?
WHO BREAKS THE
"PRINCE OF THE
COVENANT"
THE HIGH PRIEST OF GOD?
HIS PHYSICAL IDENTITY.
The "dignity of the
kingdom" is not conferred upon him. By "dissimulation and
intrigue" he seized the kingdom in time of peace. The
"contemptible creature" Ayatollah Khomeini is a representative of
satan's "king of the North". Those satan favours he puts in office
over the people, distributing land at a price, taking control of Egypt, Libya
and Ethiopia as prophesied. (11:39,43
NEB).
HIS SPIRITUAL IDENTITY.
Through apostate covenant-leavers
in JW congregations, satan gained control of the "kingdom" of The
Christ Michael the Prince of the Covenant and the high priest of God for
2,300 evenings and mornings. (8:13,14) (11:30 32) (See Page 24/12/87).
Apostate covenant-leavers gave positions of authority to
unsealed men
in Christ's congregations, distributing spiritual "land" of God
for a price.
(11:39). These
unsealed men
were appointed as
'elders'
and became the "foreign god" of apostate covenant-leavers. (11:30-32. Mal
2:11). Through these apostate covenant-leavers to whom satan gave consideration
in JW congregations, he "shattered" the work of The Christ Michael
the High Priest of God, and gained control of his "kingdom" by
means of smoothness, dissimulation and crafty promises. In this way the Prince
of the Covenant was broken. But satan has failed!
By the end of the 1,335 days the 144,000 anointed kings of the "Kingdom"
had been gathered, and by the end of the 2,300 evenings and mornings they were
approved! Both the physical and spiritual manifestations of satan through his
people on earth have proven ineffective! (8:13,14
& 12:11,12).
Because
unsealed men
appointed as
'elders'
in Christ's congregations are the "disgusting thing" "standing in a holy
place", the "dignity of the Kingdom" shall not be
conferred upon them, but shall be conferred upon the holy ones of the Supreme
One anointed with His Spirit. (Matt 24:15. 7:25-27). Those responsible
for having removed them from Christ's congregations are guilty of "the
abomination that causes desolation" within and among themselves.
(9:27).
THE MYSTERY OF HUMAN DESTINY. (From 2 Esdras 7:75-98).
It is fitting to make known the
reward for those who have shown such contempt for Jehovah God: "But now to
speak of death: when the Most High has given final sentence for a man to die,
the spirit leaves the body to return to the One who gave it, and first of all to
adore the glory of the Most High. But as for those who have rejected the ways
of the Most High and despised His Law, and who hate all that fear
God, their spirits enter no settled abode, but roam thenceforward in
torment, grief, and sorrow..."
