SPIRITUAL ENLIGHTENMENTS:

ALMIGHTY GOD IS NOW PUTTING ETHIOPIANS TO DEATH. THE FULFILMENT OF GOD'S WORD IS NOW TAKING PLACE. Jeremiah was God's prophet to the nations. Jehovah through Jeremiah describes in prophecy the final entrenched condition of Ethiopians today, that for Ethiopians to do good it would become in the end as improbable as changing their skin, or a leopard its spots. |

THEIR CRIME? "…your acts of adultery and your neighings,
your loose conduct in prostitution. Upon the hills, in the field, I have
seen your disgusting things. Woe to you, O Jerusalem! You cannot be clean --after
how much longer?" |
THEIR OUTCOME? "When they fast, I am not listening to their entreating cry; and when they offer up the whole burnt offering and the grain offering, I am taking no pleasure in them; for by the sword and by famine and by pestilence I am bringing them to their end". |

THEIR
FALSE PROPHETS TODAY (originated in Jerusalem,
now in all nations).
NO RAIN FROM IDOLS POSSIBLE. (False
religions now exposed). NO PRAYERS FOR ETHIOPIAN TYPES. "For this is what Jehovah has said, 'Do not enter into the house of a mourners' feast, and do not go to bewail and do not sympathize with them. For I have taken away My peace from this people,' is the utterance of Jehovah, 'even loving-kindness and mercies.'" (Jer 16:5 NWT). Footnote: * (Or, "Ethiopian" LXX Vg). 4/2/85A. |

EGYPT AND ETHIOPIA AS A RANSOM, "For I am Jehovah your God, the Holy One of Israel your Saviour. I have given Egypt as a ransom for you, Ethiopia and Seba in place of you. Owing to the fact that you have been precious in My eyes, you have been considered honourable, and I Myself have loved you. And I shall give men in place of you, and national groups in place of your soul." (Isaiah 43:3,4 NWT) For His servants and witnesses, rebellious spirits are being destroyed. THE DROUGHTS: "And I will give them for a quaking to all the kingdoms+ of the earth on account of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah, the king of Judah, for what he did in Jerusalem." (Jer 15:4 NWT). Spiritually, Ethiopians today continue in their spirit rebellion against heavenly Jerusalem. But now, more than 2,640 years later, our God is giving "attention to their sins": "This is what Jehovah has said concerning this people: "Thus they have loved to wander about; their feet they have not kept in check. So Jehovah Himself has taken no pleasure in them. Now He will remember their error and will give attention to their sins." (Jer 14:10 NWT). "FOUR FAMILIES" SENT, BECAUSE OF ONE: "'And I will commission over them four families,' is he utterance of Jehovah, 'the sword to kill, and the dogs to drag away, and the flying creatures of the heavens and the beasts of the earth to eat and to bring to ruin.'" (Jer 15:3 NWT). The one family of Manasseh was guilty of spiritistic practices, baal worship, and the shedding of innocent blood. (2 Kings 21:2-16. 2 Chron 33:2-9). Understandably, God is bringing these things to an end. (Jer 14:12. 15:4,5). "…your acts of adultery and your neighings, your loose conduct in prostitution. Upon the hills, in the field, I have seen your disgusting things. Woe to you, O Jerusalem!* You cannot be clean--after how much longer?" (Jer 13:27 NWT). This means that any spiritual creating of Cushites would never come to be a reality, whatever time were to be added to their nation. They are not to be buried or mourned. (Jer 16:1-4 NEB). * "O Jerusalem": Heavenly city of Jerusalem, of the spirit realm.4/2/85B. |

for his own fate from moment to moment. For these are the words of the Lord". 6/8/84. |

THE DROUGHT, THEIR FAMINE, AND THEIR DISEASES, THE RANSOM. "THE WEALTH OF THE SURROUNDING NATIONS AN ALTAR IN EGYPT, AS A TOKEN AND "The lotus too beside the Nile and all that is sown along the Nile shall dry up, shall be blown away and vanish. The fishermen shall groan and lament, all who cast their hooks into the Nile and those who spread nets on the water shall lose heart. The flax-dressers shall hang their heads, the women carding and the weavers shall grow pale, Egypt's sinners shall be downcast, and all her artisans sick at heart. Fools that you are, you princes of Zoan! Wisest of Pharaoh's counsellors you may be, but stupid counsellors you are…Where are your wise men, Pharaoh, to teach you and make known to you what the Lord of Hosts has planned for Egypt?…the chieftains of her clans have led Egypt astray. The Lord has infused into them a spirit that warps their judgement; they make Egypt miss her way in all she does, as a drunkard will miss his footing as he vomits. There shall be nothing in Egypt that any man can do, head or tail, palm or rush. When that day comes the Egyptians shall become weak as women; they shall fear and tremble when they see the Lord of Hosts raise His hand against them, as raise it He will. The land of Judah shall strike terror into Egypt; its very name shall cause dismay, because of the plans that the Lord of Hosts has laid against them. When that day comes there shall be five cities in Egypt speaking the language of Canaan and swearing allegiance to the Lord of Hosts, and one of them shall be called the City of the Sun. When that day comes there shall be an altar to the Lord in the heart of Egypt, and a sacred pillar set up for the Lord upon her frontier. It shall stand as a token and a reminder to the Lord of Hosts in Egypt, so that when they appeal to Him against their oppressors, He may send a deliverer to champion their cause, and He shall rescue them. The Lord will make Himself known to the Egyptians; on that day they shall acknowledge the Lord and do Him service with sacrifice and grain-offering, make vows to Him and pay them. The Lord will strike down Egypt, healing as He strikes; then they will turn back to Him and He will hear their prayers and heal them. (From Isaiah 19:7-22 NEB). 31/7/84. |

"AFTERWARDS THE SONS OF ISRAEL WILL COME… QUIVERING TO JEHOVAH …IN THE FINAL PART OF THE DAYS". (HOSEA 3:5). "Who is wise, that he may understand these things? Discreet, that he may know them? For the ways of Jehovah are upright, and the righteous are the ones who will walk in them; but the transgressors are the ones who will stumble in them." (Hosea 14:9). "And it must occur that in the place in which it used to be said to them, 'You men are not My people,' it will be said to them, 'The sons of the living God.' (Hosea 1:10). These are the sons of "Judah" and of "Israel" collected together in unity with: "one head, and go up out of the land, because great will be the day of Jezreel". (Hosea 1:11). (Jezreel: God will sow seed). "IN THAT PLACE"? -- WHERE? Those who were loving her instead of the commandments of God are ba'alists, false witnesses, who today have become the "object of astonishment" and/or the "disgusting thing" standing in the holy place. God is now hedging her and their way about with "thorns", with a "stone wall" against her, and her own roadways she will not find. (V.6). She is now chasing after her passionate lovers "but she will not find (them)" (V.7). Consequently, God has snatched back His "grain" and "sweet wine" in its season, and His "wool" covering her nakedness and private parts from her passionate lovers (V.9, 10); causing her festivals of exultation to cease, and her "vines" and "fig trees" from her passionate lovers to be devoured by the "wild beast". (Rev 17:16. Hosea 2:11,12). We were glad that God prevailed against her by sending her into a dry "wilderness without "drink" (though not the "wilderness" condition of Rev 12:14), and has spoken to her heart. (Hosea 2:3,14). God has begun to give us His fruitful "vineyards" after our ostracisms of trouble, and the "entrance to hope" for conducting the legal case of "My husband" "(You are) My God". (Hosea 2:16, 23). God through Hosea admonishes: "Carry on a legal case with your mother, "brothers and sisters" (Hosea 2:1,2) and be ostracised, to acquire the entrance to hope. (Hosea 2:15) (Achor: ostracism, trouble). God allures His people back by seeds of troublesome ostracisms, called Achor, the "entrance to hope". (Hosea 2:15). Israel stopped following God and went making sacrificial smoke to ba'al images (to men) by attaching their laws to their fleshly images, though "no better than (their) priestlings". (Hosea 4:4 Moffatt). They "proceeded to dedicate themselves to the shameful thing, and they came to be disgusting like (the thing of) their love". (Hosea 9:10). They were enticed by the lewd, licentious rites of immorality and idolatry. (Deut 4:3. Num 25:1-18). "So I will allure her, put her alone and apart, and speak to her heart; then I will restore her vineyards, and make the dale of Trouble a door of hope". (Hosea 2:14,15 Moffatt). |

(1) Jezreel was the name that God gave to the first child and son of Hoseaand his harlot wife. The second child He called: (2) Lo-ru.ha'mah meaning 'No mercy'. The third child He called:(3) Lo-am'mi meaning 'No folk'. God said He would show no mercy to thehouse of Israel. "No folk", for you are no folk of mine". (Hosea 1:1-9 NWT Moffatt). 886A. |

"ON THE DAY OF THE LORD'S SACRIFICE". (Zeph 1:8 NEB). "Silence before the Lord God! for the day of the Lord is near. The Lord has prepared a sacrifice and has hallowed His guests. On the day of the Lord's sacrifice I will punish the royal house and its chief officers and all who ape outlandish fashions. On that day I will punish all who dance on the temple terrace, who fill their master's house with crimes of violence and fraud". (Zeph 1:7-9 NEB). ROYAL INTEGRATORS WHO UNRIGHTEOUSLY This royal house, is the house from David's kingship, of his lineage (Jews) --on the Day of the Lord's sacrifice (of Jews). Those among them who wear outlandish garb for the foregoing reasons, and who gain their kind of influence over peoples by violence, segregation by hatred, commercial greed and fraud, are those whom God will punish on the day of the Lord's sacrifice, now imminent. THEIR "VIOLENCE AND FRAUD". (V.9). Jews who wear such bizarre attire excel at weaving these things into commercialism, declaring themselves, and some even officiating as, chief officers at Davidic ceremonies. They know full well the ancient laws of God against usury. But they lend at interest to acquire great wealth and power of influence over others, using this means of advantage over the poor to keep them so by their maladministrations. They defraud. (Lev 25:35-38). (In the case of a righteous Jew and a violent son, Ezekiel 18:10-13 NEB applies). These are the "exultant ones" of David's house today: Natural Jews. THE WORLDWIDE HIERARCHY OF SECTS. WHAT GOD HATES IS WHAT JEWS DO. "When your brother-Israelite is reduced to poverty and cannot support himself in the community, you shall assist him as you would an alien or a stranger, and he shall live with you. You shall not charge him interest on a loan, either by deducting it in advance from the capital sum, or by adding it on repayment. You shall fear your God, and your brother shall live with you; you shall not deduct interest when advancing him money nor add interest to the payment due for food supplied on credit. I am the Lord your God who brought you out of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan and to become your God. When your brother is reduced to poverty and sells himself to you, you shall not use him to work for you as a slave. His status shall be that of a hired man or a stranger lodging with you; he shall work for you until the year of Jubilee. He shall then leave your service, with his children, and go back to his family and to his ancestral property: because they are my slaves". (Lev 25:35-41 NEB). "He may have a son who is a man of violence and a cut-throat who turns his back on these rules. He obeys none of them, he feasts at mountain-shrines, he dishonours another man's wife, he oppresses the unfortunate and the poor, he is a robber, he does not return the debtor's pledge, he lifts his eyes to idols and joins in abominable rites; he lends both at discount and at interest. Such a man shall not live. Because he has committed all these abominations he shall die, and his blood will be on his own head". (Ezek 18:10-13 NEB). "I will rise against them, says the Lord of Hosts; I will destroy the name of Babylon and what remains of her, her offspring and posterity, says the Lord; I will make her a haunt of the bustard, a waste of fen, and sweep her with the besom of destruction. This is the very word of the Lord of Hosts". (Isaiah 14:22,23 NEB). 14/1/85A&B. |

THE HOLOCAUST OF THE JEWS. (Scriptures cited are from The New English Bible). THE PROPHECY TO ISRAEL AND JUDAH: [These are the prophesied words of the sentence of God, fulfilled upon the Jews during the 1939-1945 world war, and the reasons for that sacrifice or Holocaust]. THE CRUEL REFINERS: Therefore these are the words of the Lord: I will set obstacles before this people which shall bring them to the ground; fathers and sons, friends and neighbours shall all perish together. These are the words of the Lord: See, a people is coming from a northern land, a great nation rouses itself from earth's farthest corners. They come with bow and sabre, cruel men and pitiless, bestriding their horses, they sound like the thunder of the sea, they are like men arrayed for battle against you, Zion. We have heard tell of them and our hands hang limp, agony grips us, the anguish of a woman in labour. Do not go out into the country, do not walk by the high road; for the foe, sword in hand, is a terror let loose. Daughter of My people, wrap yourself in sackcloth, sprinkle ashes over yourself, wail bitterly, as one who mourns an only son; in an instant shall the marauder be upon us. I have appointed you an assayer of My people; you will know how to test them and will assay their conduct; arch-rebels all of them, mischief-makers, corrupt to a man. The bellows puff and blow, the furnace glows; in vain does the refiner smelt the ore, lead, copper and iron are not separated out. Call them spurious silver; For the Lord has spurned them." (Jer 6:19-30). [The rebellious nation of the Jews still blame their sins on the cruel refiners that God sent them; namely, the cruel individuals of the German nation during the 1939-1945 world war. The guilt of the Jews before God can be seen in the words given to them through the prophet Jeremiah in chapter 7 verses 3-11]. "When you tell them this, they will not listen to you; if you call them, they will not answer. Then you shall say to them, This is the nation that did not obey the Lord its God nor accept correction; truth has perished, it is heard no more on their lips." (Jeremiah 7:27,28). 24/2/99. |

A FURTHER EXEGESIS OF God has always used a cruel nation as His 'club' to strike an apostate nation, whom he symbolically refers to as the "Assyrian". God used the German nation as His club against the apostate nation of Jews during the years 1939-1945, when around 6,000,000 Jews were gathered out of the nations overrun by Hitlerite followers with "Assyrian" natures. Systematically, these Jews who were guilty of apostasy, were exterminated. Then God began destroying members of the "Assyrian" glory-seekers through the authorities among the Germanic race. THE "ASSYRIAN" GLORIFYING HIMSELF TODAY. God makes known His means of dealing with this insolent "Assyrian": "Israel's Light must become a fire, and his Holy One a flame". (V.17). All glory-seekers on earth, along with this Assyrian race, will waste away by His Spirit flame becoming a "fire" in their spirits and under their glory, burning their "weeds", "thornbushes", "forest" and "orchard". Namely: All the "fat ones" receiving glory; causing suicides (martyrdom) and death from a lack of spirit inspiration. This "instrument" for exterminating glory-seekers among men and women, will reach all that have lifted up an oppressive staff against the anointed remnant of "Jacob" in the way that Egypt did. (V.24). God has currently begun this "upon the sea". (V.26). Egypt of old was initially stubborn, but the death-dealing "wasting disease" quickly released God's people, and their yoke was removed. This is undergoing fulfilment in Assyria and in the area of the Gulf. 8/9/87. |

"AHA, THE ASSYRIAN". "Woe to those who are enacting harmful regulations and those who, constantly writing, have written out sheer trouble, in order to push away the lowly ones from a legal case and to wrest away justice from the afflicted ones of My people, for the widows to become their spoil, and that they may plunder even the fatherless boys! And what will you men do at the day of being given attention and at the ruin, when it comes from far away? Toward whom will you flee for assistance, and where will you leave your glory, except it be that one must bow down under the prisoners and that people keep falling under those who have been killed? In view of all this his anger has not turned back, but his hand is stretched out still. "Aha, the Assyrian, the rod for My anger, and the stick that is in their hand for my denunciation! Against an apostate nation I shall send him, and against the people of My fury I shall issue a command to him, to take much spoil and to take much plunder and to make it a trampling place like the clay of the streets. Though he may not be that way, he will feel inclined; though his heart may not be that way, he will scheme, because to annihilate is in his heart, and to cut off nations not a few. For he will say, 'Are not my princes at the same time kings? Is not Cal'no just like Car'che.mish? Is not Ha'math just like Ar'pad? Is not Sa.mar'i.a just like Damascus? Whenever My hand has reached the kingdoms of the valueless god whose graven images are more than those at Jerusalem and at Sa.mar'i.a, will it not be that just as I shall have done to Sa.mari.a and to her valueless gods, even so I shall do to Jerusalem and to her idols?' "And it must occur that when Jehovah terminates all his work in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, I shall make an accounting for the fruitage of the insolence of the heart of the king of Assyria and for the self-importance of his loftiness of eyes. For he has said, 'With the power of my hand I shall certainly act, and with my wisdom, for I do have understanding; and I shall remove the boundaries of peoples, and their things stored up I shall certainly pillage, and I shall bring down the inhabitants just like a powerful one. And just as if a nest, my hand will reach the resources of the peoples; and just as when one gathers eggs that have been left, I myself will gather up even all the earth, and there will certainly be no one fluttering [his] wings or opening [his] mouth or chirping.'" (Isaiah 10:1-14NWT). "Will the ax enhance itself over the one chopping with it, or the saw magnify itself over the one moving it back and forth, as though the staff moved back and forth the ones raising it on high, as though the rod raised on high the one who is not wood? Therefore the [true] Lord, Jehovah of armies, will keep sending upon his fat ones a wasting disease, and under his glory a burning will keep burning away like the burning of a fire. And Israel's Light must become a fire, and his Holy One a flame; and it must blaze up and eat up his weeds and his thornbushes in one day. And the glory of his forest and of his orchard He will bring to an end, even from the soul clear to the flesh, and it must become like the melting away of one that is ailing. And the rest of the trees of his forest-they will become such a number that a mere boy will be able to write them down. And it will certainly occur in that day that those remaining over of Israel and those who have escaped of the house of Jacob will never again support themselves upon the one striking them, and they will certainly support themselves upon Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, in trueness. A mere remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob, to the Mighty God. For although your people, O Israel, would prove to be like the grains of sand of the sea, a mere remnant among them will return. An extermination decided upon will be flooding through in righteousness, because an exterminating and a strict decision the Sovereign Lord, Jehovah of armies, will be executing in the midst of the whole land. Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord, Jehovah of armies, has said: "Do not be afraid, O my people who are dwelling in Zion, because of the Assyrian, who with the rod used to strike [you] and who used to lift up his own staff against you in the way that Egypt did. For yet a very little while--and the denunciation will have come to an end, and My anger, in their wearing away. And Jehovah of armies will certainly brandish against him a whip as at the defeat of Mid'i.an by the rock O'reb; and his staff will be upon the sea, and he will certainly lift it up in the way that he did with Egypt."" (Isaiah 10:15-26 NWT). |

HONOURING FATHERS AND MOTHERS ."God spoke, and these were his words: I am the Lord your God who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. You shall have no other god to set against Me… Honour your father and your mother, that you may live long in the land which the Lord your God is giving you". A dilemma : What if one's own father and mother continually dishonour God, should we still honour them? For instance, if they covet, or steal, or bear false witness against others, or worship other things as gods instead of Almighty God, or commit adultery, or even murder, should we still honour such parents? The answer: You cannot truthfully give high respect (honour) to dishonourable conduct.Furthermore, if they fornicate, or have fits of rage, or cause dissension in other ways such as through jealousies, drinking bouts, or have selfish ambitions, or indulge in orgies, or other forms of idolatry, should you still honour them? Certainly not. For if you do, are you not entering into their guilt by condoning such behaviour with your high respect against the Spirit commandments of God? Those parents who continually indulge in any of the above sins are not really fathers and mothers deserving of honour from their offspring. "Anyone can see the kind of behaviour that belongs to the lower nature: fornication, impurity, and indecency; idolatry and sorcery; quarrels, a contentious temper, envy, fits of rage, selfish ambitions, dissensions, party intrigues, and jealousies; drinking bouts, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who behave in such ways will never inherit the kingdom of God. But the harvest of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, fidelity, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law dealing with such things as these. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the lower nature with its passions and desires. If the Spirit is the source of our life, let the Spirit also direct our course." Without dishonouring God our Heavenly Father, what can sons and daughters do as regards rebellious parents? As "love means following the commands of God" (2 John V.6 NEB), we cannot share in close relationships with the foregoing impurities, with anyone who continues to live according to the "lower nature" of flesh. Honour is a spiritual quality to be earned by obedience to the commands of God. God is Holy. HONOUR: High respect; glory; reputation, good name; nobleness of mind.Allegiance to what is right, etc. (Oxford Dictionary). 2/1/86. |

THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN. "While I was considering the horns I saw another horn, a little one, springing up among them, and three of the first horns were uprooted to make room for it. And in that horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth that spoke proud words". (Dan 7:8 NEB). PRELIMINARY INDICATORS BEFORE The "beast", it says, will be "killed and its carcass destroyed". The rest of the 'beasts', though deprived of their sovereignty, were allowed to remain alive "for a time and a season". (V.12). (Approximately one year and three months). Before the destruction of Persia's Islamic demon "beast" and the one exercising its influence with "proud words" (the demon angel prince of Persia with Ayatollah Khomeini), the other "horns" (American Presidents J. Carter and recently R. Reagan) with Mohammed Riza Shah Pahlavi were "uprooted" by humiliations, to make room for the last "horn" under Ayatollah Khomeini (a "little one") that sprang from among the "beast" with the ten "horns". (Dan 7:7-9). NEXT, "THE BOOKS WERE OPENED" (For judgement. Dan 7:10). THE FINAL INDICATOR OF JUDGEMENT So the judgement will begin with: (1) The immediate destruction of the one speaking with "proud words".(2) A further period of 15 months allowed for the remaining "beasts"and their followers to be judged. (3) Then the Son of man (Michael) is given all rulership with his holy ones.27/2/87. |

YOU, THE TYRANTS AGAINST ARIEL
"And it must occur in an instant, suddenly." (Isaiah 29:5 NWT). To be awakened "in an instant to the reality of one's life being totally empty and devoid of any past, present, or future purpose or worth by the spirit awakening of God, is the most shocking thing any man could experience within any nation. (Isaiah 29:5-8 NWT. See Isaiah 29:14 NEB. I say, within any nation, because it is to take place among those glorifying God merely "with their mouths" (by "precept" and "rote"), claiming to be of the house of "Jacob" but without moral instruction, or of such instruction being practiced according to the spirit requirements of God. They are those who are instead teaching men's commands, by repetition, according to memory and not by Holy Spirit. (Isaiah 29:13 NEB). The punishment for warring this way against the altar (Ariel) of God will be with "thunder and earthquake and a great noise, with storm and tempest and a flame of devouring fire". (Isaiah 29:6 NEB). WHEN? The indicator: "The time is but short before Lebanon goes back to grassland and the grassland is no better than scrub." (Isaiah 29:17 NEB). "On that day deaf men shall hear when a book is read, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of impenetrable darkness". (V.18). Lebanon is going back to grassland by internal war at the present time. On the 23rd and 24th September 1982 an irreversible massacre took place, toward an extermination, in Beirut, of Lebanese people inside their city. (See Page 883B). "Open up you doors, O Lebanon, that a fire may devour among your cedars". (Zech 11:1 NWT). But their people are not the only ones warring against the altar of God. The "baggage-trains" of "siege-works" and all "her oppressors" exist in all the nations of this world. (V.7). What is happening in Lebanon right now is the aforementioned punishment from God. It has been going on for many years, though it began "in an instant, suddenly" (V.5 NWT) to individuals who have lost life and all hope. So they go on killing and are willingly being killed, until all tyrants have been removed, like "chaff". After their complete removal, the spiritually "deaf" and "blind" will be able to understand God's written Word. People's festivals in Godly worship (the festivals of booths) will begin by Spirit, with the sanctuary of God opened.

THE "FALSE PROPHET". (Rev 16:13,14). A SINGULAR OR A COMPOSITE MAN? Our Lord Jesus Christ foretold that this "prophet" would mislead those people with the "mark" of the "wild beast". (Rev 19:20). Also, like the "dragon" (satan), the "wild beast" (of satan's political powers on earth) would utter unclean expressions inspired of demons. (Rev 16:13,14). These expressions are from the mouths of many people, from more than just the three symbolically described, and are active in many nations. For they all go forth to "the kings of the entire inhabited earth, to gather them together to the war of the great day of God The Almighty." (Rev 16:14 NWT). They are gathered to the symbolic "place" (condition before God) called Har-Ma.ged'on (V.16). This "false prophet" uttered demonic unclean expressions from numerous fertilizations of unclean frog-like 'spawnings' worldwide, to promote various fundraising schemes and organizations toward reaching nations' resources. They do so against the judicial decisions of God in His sacrificing of all Africa to redeem and gather His sons from out of the nations. (See Page 31/7/84) (Isaiah 43:3. 66:20. 61:6). Resources of the nations will go to priests of God, not to rebellious sons of the wicked one. Although millions of this world's inhabitants were recently involved, to a greater or lesser degree, the one called Geldof projected himself more than most. But he is only one of this world's great number of practicing idols (people's gods); gathered, and used to gather, the remaining "kings" to judgement at Har-Ma.ged'on. (Rev 16:14,16). "LEND YOUR AID AND COME" (Joel 3:11) THEY CRIED. These promotions by music idols were given the unclean expressive name of 'Band aid'. 'Live aid' was another. These expressions prepared the way "for the kings from the rising of the sun". (Rev 16:12 NWT). The Eastern Hemisphere was gathered when millions more of those with the "mark" joined the rest of the world in the third expression called 'Sport aid'. All of this because God dried up the Ethiopian "Euphrates" (Hebrew meaning: "to break forth"). (Rev 16:12). Yes, they declared: 'We ran the world'. |

"Lend your aid and come, all you nations round about, and collect yourselves together. To that place, O Jehovah, bring your powerful ones down. Let the nations be aroused and come up to the low plain of Jehoshaphat; for there I shall sit in order to judge all the nations round about." (Joel 3:11,12 NWT). |
"And I saw three unclean inspired expressions that looked like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the wild beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet. They are, in fact, expressions inspired by demons and perform signs, and they go forth to the kings of the entire inhabited earth, to gather them together for the war of the great day of God The Almighty." (Rev 16:13,14 NWT). |

"KNOWING HE HAS A SHORT PERIOD
(1) The composite "false prophet" of Revelation 19:19,20 is now doing a 'marking work' by gathering "peoples and crowds and nations" to war against "the Lamb". (Rev 16:13,14. 17:14,15).(2) The political "wild beast" will now begin to "eat up her (the "harlot's") fleshy parts" (sects). (Rev 17:16).(3) The kings of the earth are now having their authority as kings, for "one hour with the wild beast" (around 15 days, a day for a year).(2 Peter 3:8. Rev 17:12). (4) The "harlot" ("Babylon the great") are "peoples and crowds and nations" now being destroyed by these "ten kings" and the "wild beast".(Rev 17:15,16). "In one day her plagues will come, death and mourning and famine, and she will be completely burned with fire, because Jehovah God, who judged her, is strong". (Rev 18:8). "In one hour your judgement has arrived!" (Rev 18:10). (5) Preparing the way for "the kings from the rising of the sun" (Rev 16:12), was by God drying up the 'Euphrates' of Ethiopia (Euphrates: 'breaking forth'), and to gather them after that event. The "false prophet" of Sport aid prepared for this world's kings from the Eastern Hemisphere (east of Ethiopia). The idols of music (Band Aid) have been gathered, now idols of Sport have been gathered with these kings."Lend your aid and come, all you nations round about, and collect yourselves together. To that place, O Jehovah, bring Your powerful ones down. Let the nations be aroused and come up to the low plain of Jehoshaphat; for there I shall sit in order to judge all the nations round about".

WHO IS THE "FALSE PROPHET"? I've read that expression somewhere before… Who is he, I wonder? Where does he reside? Aha, but have people done the things he said? …I remember more, he's not one, but many; Nations he's gathered! Throughout all the earth they ran. Oh, why did they do it? Against God they war-cried; To judgement (at Jehoshaphat) they ran from His decisions, So these "frogs" you know, and their coming destruction, Sorry reader, I knew all along, but did pretend, While still alive, they are now all caught, |

THE QUALITY OF LOVE. I would now like to travel with the reader along the road of reason, in order to embrace knowledge of an all-important quality of life, one that is still somewhat misunderstood, and which the Apostle Paul called an "obscure expression." The quality I am eager to describe, is the quality of love. So many parents, sons, and daughters, have shown their loved ones affection according to their understanding of love, some even to the grave. But how many, with what they believe to be love, have done so without God? (a kind of love that, along with their spirit, is destined for death that is eternal). For without God's approval of one's love, the spirit of that person cannot be resurrected to immortal life. After having studied the pages that follow (pages C20-22) on this subject, you may want more time to meditate further on the expression that humans use so often, and so casually. When I researched into the quality of love, I tried to keep an open mind. It soon became apparent to me that the vast majority of people do not really understand that showing love is to help another realise and correct the harmful weaknesses that may exist but which are hindering their spiritual progress. Showing love is by the constructive use of corrective words and deeds in a beneficial way, according to one's knowledge of the unGodly disposition prevailing in a person. Love is motivated from, and by, spirit, and is a spiritual quality. It can only be shown to others when it is in harmony with the rules of conduct of love as clearly described in all its parts in the Holy written Word from God. (1 Cor 13:4-13). Only then is it a unifying selfless expression, giving benefit to others, lastingly loyal, and without deceit. On the other hand, flattery, and the other endearments associated with hypocrisy, are mostly of a self-seeking nature, and are not love, and only bring pain and disappointment. Opposers of God's Will cannot comprehend love's expressions. Since the people who obey God's Will are few by comparison to those who do not, few are they who are able to show love. Only sanctified ones (refined as to the superfluous things of the heart by spirit) understand the real needs of others, toward gaining an immortal life of love. |

THE OBSCURE EXPRESSION. "We are looking for right now through mirror in obscure expression, then but face toward face; right now
I am knowing out of part, then but I shall know accurately according as also I was accurately known." "At present we only see the baffling reflections in a mirror, but then it will be face to face; at present I am learning bit by bit, but then I shall understand, as all along I have myself been understood." PAUL PURSUED THE "OBSCURE EXPRESSION" LOVE. -- HOW? Before one can truly help others, the power of love according to 'knowledge' of persons and their weaknesses must first be known. Further, as 'all the parts' of the love of God have been given to one having been "subjected", then that one in turn can use these necessary 'parts' wisely for others. For these reasons we are told to "pursue love."(1Cor 14:1). This means, to gain the knowledge of love, 'its parts,' using the right part beneficially, and giving it willingly as respects others. But not unwisely, as one cannot "rejoice in unrighteousness". Love, "rejoices with the truth." (1 Cor 13:6). The Christ began showing Paul the way to everlasting life first by briefly blinding him, in order to bring Paul to his proper senses. This was the way Christ adopted to open the way for Paul to listen and be taught beneficially. "LOVE DOES NOT KEEP ACCOUNT OF THE INJURY". Judas Iscariot, and Ananias of Acts chapter 5, sinned in word and deed against the Holy Spirit of God. "For example, whoever speaks a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, no, not in this system of things nor in that to come." (Matt 12:31,32. Heb 10:26,27. 1John 4:7). To sum up as to this 'part' of love (as there are many 'parts' to the expression of perfect love): You cannot show love to another unless first you yourself have true knowledge of that one's needs, as to his or her weaknesses and spiritual needs. It was an "obscure expression" to Paul at that time, and still is up until right now. And many will come "face toward face" with shame. (Isaiah 66:5). Only when that which is complete (perfect love) is known and exercised naturally, by all individual(s) of the "body", will partial knowledge (parts) of the "way" previously made known by and through prophesying, tongues, and still today knowledge, cease (being taught). For then these partial ways of the "perfect thing" (V.10) will be done away with, for "you" will have all the necessary parts of the "perfect thing", love. This prophecy of knowledge I leave "you" as a directive, teaching, and correction of a past erroneous teaching still among JWs, from a discerner of inspired utterances. (1 Cor 12:10). My love to all the "brothers" of The Christ and to all those calling on his name, of Christ's "other sheep". 868. |

A BRIEF EXEGESIS OF: "LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR AS YOURSELF". (Gal 5:14 NWT)."FLESH IS AGAINST THE SPIRIT IN ITS DESIRE". (V.17). Christians would not be showing love to their neighbours by condoning, through immoral acceptance, the practices of oppressive tyrants, or the depraved perversion of sodomites, or idol worshippers, adulterers, liars, thieves, apostates, or of any other antichrists. Nor would they allow themselves to become "unevenly yoked with any other unbelievers" (2 Cor 6:14), with those who refuse to be readjusted from their sins according to the righteous conduct of holy ones. (Eph 4:12). Otherwise, we also would become enslaved again to sin. So how are we to show love to our neighbours as we do to ourselves? The answer is by making known the Will and excellence of God that we love ourselves with, and during the times He has allocated for this. (See the "appointed times" of the nations before the "good news" was "brought to a finish", as described in The Opened "Little Scroll". (Rev 10:7. 11:2). If your neighbour(s) constantly refuse God's Will for them, namely penitence (sincere regret over their acknowledged sins) and sanctification (by their change of heart through righteous conduct, a spiritual cleansing taking place), then only warnings of God's anger against them remain. God creates only obedient men through His Christ for salvation, according to His written Word, by His Holy Spirit. If a Christian has tried to make known God's Word (His commands) to his neighbours without hypocrisy, then he has shown them true love. For love is "according to His commands" (2 John V.6 NWT) and not according to the notions of mere self-willed humans who cannot possibly show love outside of God's commands. Love is a spiritual quality. Love guided by holy principles. Do not let fleshly neighbours annihilate you, brothers. (Gal 5:19-21). Prove what your own work is, and not that of men-pleasers. (Gal 6:4. 5:22,23). 26/3/87. |

THE GREAT
EARTHQUAKE, (1) "And in that the hour occurred (earth)shaking great, and the tenth (part) of the city fell, and were killed in the (earth)shaking names of men thousands seven, and the leftover (ones) in-fear became and they gave glory to the God of the heaven". (Rev 11:13 Greek Trans.)(2) "And occurred lightnings and voices and thunders, and (earth)shaking occurred great, which sort not occurred from which (time) men came to be upon the earth so big (earth)shaking thus great". (Rev 16:18 Greek Trans.)EARTHSHAKINGS.
INDICATING END OF SECOND WOE? There are certain elements to Mexico City's earthquakes, which appear very timely and consistent with The Christ's prophecy to John. Especially, when we bear in mind recent fulfilments that led up to it. Consistent are the facts: |
|
|
|
(1) It is one of the greatest earthquakes to date.(2) In the greatest city, as to population. (3) Around seven thousand men were killed. (4) A tenth of the city's buildings have fallen or are now uninhabitable, including many of its churches. |
|
|
|
More important is the indication that it also marks the end of the second woe, and that the next event is the heralding of the kingdom of the world becoming the "kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ", "and He will rule as King forever"; after the 'soundings' of the spiritual revealings of the The Opened "Little Scroll". First, the "seventh angel" only 'sounded' the end of the "good news" with the "Little Scroll". (Rev 10:10,11). Therefore, next it will be blown with the commencement of God's rule, bringing about the wrath of the nations, and followed by God's wrath. When the 'soundings' are followed by the actually 'blowing', it means God's Kingdom becomes a reality on earth. Note: Giving glory to God out of faith is first by means of one's accurate knowledge of His Will, then by being active in His service, and by one's progressive sanctification. This takes time to be accomplished.The "cup of the wine of the anger of the wrath of Him" (Rev 16:19 Greek T.) also begins (See Page 19/8/85), against such idols as Mexico's worship of their Madonna, and all other idol worshippers ruining life on earth. But will the rest become frightened and give glory to God? Perhaps further disturbances will become necessary. Whatever, giving glory to God out of fear is not the same as giving glory to Him out of faith without such calamitous fear. The coming desolation of Egypt will be an even greater social disturbance. The "great city" of Revelation 16:19 is of course the world empire of false worship.
"Their beginning is marked by portents and miracles, their end by manifestations of power". (2 Esdras 9:6 NEB). EARTHQUAKE: Volcanic convulsion of earth's surface;(fig) social or other disturbance. (Oxford Dictionary). Now the judgements of HIS "soundings" of Revelation Ch.10 have begun: 26/9/85. |

THE HARLOT(S).

"For the time will come when they will not stand wholesome teaching, but will follow their own fancy and gather a crowd of teachers to tickle their ears…" (2 Timothy 4:3,4 NEB). |

"And he says to me: "The waters that you saw, where the harlot is sitting, mean peoples and crowds and nations and tongues. And the ten horns that you saw, and the wild beast, these will hate the harlot and will make her devastated and naked, and will eat up her fleshy parts and will completely burn her with fire."" (Rev 17:15,16 NWT). |
"And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and was adorned with gold and precious stone and pearls and had in her hand a golden cup that was full of disgusting things and the unclean things of her fornication. And upon her forehead was written a name, a mystery: "Babylon the Great, the mother of the harlots and of the disgusting things of the earth."" (Rev 17:4,5 NWT). |

THE
"SLAUGHTERING BLOCK" OF GOD
THE PROPHECY AND ITS FULFILMENT. "Make ready, you men, a slaughtering block for his own sons because of the error of their forefathers, that they may not rise up and actually take possession of the earth and fill the face of the productive land with cities." "And I will rise up against them," is the utterance of Jehovah of armies. "And I will cut off from Babylon name and remnant and progeny and posterity," is the utterance of Jehovah. "" (Isaiah 14:15-22 NWT). Iraqis are killing and are being slaughtered with every day that passes, for the reason "that they may not rise up and actually take possession of the earth and fill the face of the productive land with cities". (V.21). Because of the errors of their forefathers, they as sons of Babylon's 'shining king' today have not been corrected. Their last goatlike leader, Saddam Hussein, has now "been thrown away without a burial place for you, like a detested sprout, clothed with killed men", and who "killed your own people". Therefore, God has "cut off from Babylon name and remnant and progeny". Saddam Hussein's own sons were slaughtered. The invisible power of evil influence, which began in ancient Babylon, said: "To the heavens I shall go up. Above the stars of God I shall lift up my throne." To this one it is now being said: "O how you have fallen from heaven, you shining one, son of the dawn! How you have been cut down to the earth". (Isaiah 14:12,13 NWT). This long-awaited fulfilment of the prophecy, through satan's last kingly "image" in Babylon, was Saddam Hussein; who has been made weak like other tyrants before him that were disabling nations (other "goatlike leaders" of the earth). Nor will his followers terrorising many nations today ever "fill the face of the productive land with cities". (Isaiah 14:21 NWT). Instead, they will be slaughtered. Note: It was Almighty God who put His "one thought" into the minds of the modern-day political "image" of the "beast" to desolate Babylon/Iraq, (Rev 17:15-18); and who have proven to be the coalition forces of the USA and the UK.

BLOOD: "It is the decision of the Holy Spirit, and our decision, to lay no further burden upon you beyond these essentials: you are to abstain* from meat that has been offered to idols, from blood, * from anything that has been strangled, and from fornication. If you keep yourselves free from these things you will be doing right." (Acts 15:28,29 NEB). "As for the gentile converts, we sent them our decision that they must abstain from meat that has been offered to idols, from blood, from anything that has been strangled, and from fornication." (Acts 21:25 NEB). "This is he who came with water and blood: Jesus Christ. He came, not by water alone, but by water and blood; and there is the Spirit to bear witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three witnesses, the Spirit, the water, and the blood, and these three are in agreement. We accept human testimony, but surely Divine testimony is stronger, and this three-fold testimony is indeed that of God Himself, the witness He has borne to His Son. He who believes in the Son of God has this testimony in his own heart, but he who disbelieves God, makes Him out to be a liar,* by refusing to accept God's own witness to His Son. The witness is this: that God has given us eternal life, and that this life is found in His Son. He who possesses the Son has eternal life indeed; he who does not possess the Son of God has not that life." (1 John 5:6-12 NEB). All of the above words were from the apostles by means of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, anyone partaking of blood by drinking it, or by taking it intravenously (into a vein or veins), makes God to be a liar,* and will not be resurrected to eternal life after their death. This same judgement is also upon those guilty of administering blood into others, because they too make God out to be a liar. Those partaking of blood taken from another human, by drinking it or by transfusion (in part or by a complete transfusion) are giving evidence to God through the 'three witness bearers' that they have not obeyed His instructions through Christ's apostles, and will be cut off by Him from everlasting life in His heavenly paradise.

UNPOLLUTED BLOOD, FREE FROM THE BLOOD OF OTHERS, IS ALSO NECESSARY TO ATONE FOR (COVER OVER) OUR SINS. All mankind are sinners from birth because of the first human disobedience. The first man Adam listened to his wife's voice, against the command of God. In turn, we have all inherited sinful natures. Thankfully, God in His mercy provided a way of salvation for us all. He gave the perfect body and obedient spirit nature of His Firstborn Son in sacrifice for our sins: An acceptable ransom for what was lost in Adam. This sacrifice was far more than the basic corresponding ransom required. To be saved to everlasting life, we are required to be 'born again' into a new spirit birth. Beginning as 'babes' in the ways of The Christ, and progressing toward Christlike maturity, is for the sole purpose of gaining everlasting life. Toward this much-desired destiny, God judges mankind individually by means of three "witness bearers": "The Spirit, the water, and the blood". Therefore, any human who has the blood of another or of others in his or her veins, is judged in regard to two bloods, and in the case of the blending of bloods through multiple transfusions, of three or more of the composite sins of others. Such ones have disregarded the command of God prohibiting the eating of blood. (Leviticus 17:11,14 NWT). Concerning the 'Spirit' or 'witness bearer' within all persons, the final judgement of God upon workers of this rebellion working for blood donor agencies, or are donors, doctors, anaesthetists, nurses, policy-makers in the use of blood, hospital managers, and supporters of its administration, is that while believing they are saving lives by the transfusion of blood from voluntary donors into patients, according to the Word of God they are judged of doing just the opposite. They are disobeying His command prohibiting the taking (intravenously 'eating') of blood. All these people are calling God a liar. (See 1 John 5:6-12 NEB). THE SAFE WAY RESPECTING THE USE
OF BLOOD IN SURGICAL OPERATIONS. The minimum period required for the extraction and storage of one's own blood before its use in a surgical procedure on oneself, is approximately six weeks. This period of time is considered to be safe for the donation of one's own blood before use on oneself, and allows time for the regeneration of one's remaining blood cells and volume, etc. With this in mind, all hospitals should have in-house facilities to cater for the many thousands of people to be operated on, so that those patients can have their blood refrigerated for their future use. In this way, they will not be offending God or be abandoned by Him for donating or 'eating' blood donated by volunteers. Furthermore, the added risk of being transfused with diseased blood from volunteers should be considered. It is not possible to entirely refine blood from a volunteer so that it is entirely risk free. The only safe blood to use is your own. 7/10/04. |

Now, at the very end of the present systems of demonic rule over mankind, the one given the power to judge mankind has provided us with a "Little Scroll" of spirit measurements, to help gather the last obedient spirit souls for everlasting life in the promised new age of holy bliss for a "great crowd" of worshippers. So now:
LOOK WHAT THE
OPENED "LITTLE SCROLL" To readers of The Opened "Little Scroll" who come to understand its relevant prophecies for us all today, particularly the Divine principles provided for us to live by, inspiring peace, but who have instead chosen to ignore them, even after being informed of the adverse judgements that are to follow for such disobedience, the following expression can now rightly be said to such stubborn ones: LOOK WHAT
THE OPENED "LITTLE SCROLL" This means that The Lord Michael's "Little Scroll" is judging us all, including those previously ignorant of the serious sins they committed during their lives; because by now everyone should have been enlightened by The Opened "Little Scroll", which as the basis for judgement now judges all as being fully accountable for all their sins! Consequently, when stubborn sinners stand before the awesome presence of God, they cannot ask for more time to make changes, or expect to be forgiven, or hope to receive mercy in the final Judgement. SOME OBVIOUS
EXAMPLES OF WILFUL DISOBEDIENCE: (2) Instead of teaching the true spiritual requirements that are the prerequisite of water baptism for all reasoning souls to symbolize their vow, church leaders have misled millions by their so-called 'christenings' of dumb babes. (3) Many millions of people have refused to "declare abroad the excellencies of the One that called you out of darkness into his wonderful light" (also by means of the instructions contained in the now Opened "Little Scroll" -- being the last instructions of The Christ Michael for all nations to obey). (1 Peter 2:9 NWT. Rev 10:11). Etc, etc, etc. AND LOOK WHAT
THE OPENED "LITTLE SCROLL" Wise readers of The Opened "Little Scroll" of our Lord Michael's Revelations, take it to their hearts. They realise it is intended for their everlasting benefit, and so begin to make the necessary readjustments, establishing holy changes in their spirit. This spirit activity is the storing of "treasures" in their future heaven. (Matt 6:20,21). They are their personal spirit offerings that go up to the presence of God; who has promised to give these offerings an everlasting spirit "body" as He |
