Chapter 19 - Jeremiah

[SusanB]

Here is a link to this chapter both for reading or audio: http://jehovah-is-king.com/jeremiah/

Every chapter of this book has so much insight and clear understanding of the scriptures, and this chapter does not disappoint. It is really thrilling to understand scriptures that seemed a bit obscure to me before reading Robert King’s book. We are witnessing the lead-up to the fulfillment of many prophecies with clear scriptural sight and I find that amazing. It can’t come too soon. Here is a quote to kick-off a review of Chapter 19.

“Because the Jews were also the custodians of God’s temple, Jehovah denounced them for disrespecting the place where he placed his scared name, saying: ‘Can you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, make sacrifices to Baal, and follow after gods you had not known, and then come and stand before me in this house that bears my name and say, ‘We will be saved,’ despite your doing all these detestable things?‘ (Jeremiah 7:9-10)

As all of Jehovah’s Witnesses know, Christendom has gone to great lengths to erase the name of Jehovah from the minds of men, and even in the relatively rare instances where some form of the YHWH is acknowledged as the personal name of God it is often falsely claimed to also be the name of Christ. So, how can the modern parallel of the people and house associated with the name of Jehovah possibly be the thousands of sects making up Christendom?

Just as there was only one temple where Jehovah placed his name in ancient times, there is only one “house” associated with the name of Jehovah now. It is the organization of Jehovah’s Witnesses and the Watch Tower Bible Society. For instance, every issue of the Watchtower magazine bears the very name of God emblazoned on its cover— “Announcing Jehovah’s Kingdom.” Some Bethel facilities even bear signage displaying the name Jehovah. Bethel is the modern “house upon which my name has been called.” And, of course, the name of Jehovah is quite literally called upon Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Not only that, but anointed Christians are in a binding covenant arrangement with Jehovah God, just as were the Jews—making them the modern spiritual house of God “upon which my name has been called.” This is so because Revelation depicts the 144,000 sons of God as having both the name of Jesus and Jehovah written upon their foreheads. And because since the days of Charles Taze Russell the anointed congregation of Christ has also been subjected to the authority of the Watch Tower, that institution must also come in line for a final inspection.”

I don’t know how any brother or sister can read this excerpt and not really know in their heart that it is true.

I read the following comment from an XJW commenting on a video called …The Tower Is falling.
“They always said they would be the last to go out of all the religions. It looks like they are the first in line” I laughed at that comment at first. Then I thought that’s proof that the only house where Jehovah placed his name … Jehovah’s Witnesses is Gods people the only true religion because judgement starts with the house of God. So yes they will be the first in line.

Judgement starts with the House of God. According to Peter.

Why Jehovah’s Witnesses? July 8th, 2017|Mailbag​

Question: While you do make very good and fascinating points, the question I have is the following: Everything in Prophecy (Ezekiel, Isaiah, etc.) you point to the JW’s as per the fulfillment. Is it not possible that these prophecies can also point to say the Adventists, Mormons, Baptists, Christadelphians, etc? How can you be so sure it is only the JW’s they point to? Aren’t all religions misguided and cults? Read more> https://e-watchman.com/why-jehovahs-witnesses-2/​

Why Jehovah’s Witnesses? June 9th, 2010|Page One​

Who are Jehovah’s Christian Witnesses? Are they the true worshippers of God – the true light-bearers, as the Watchtower Society claims? What makes the witnesses of Jehovah so special? Do they really believe that they are the only ones who will receive salvation? After all, many accuse Jehovah’s Witnesses of being a satanic cult. How could such a maligned sect possibly be the only true faith? Read more> https://e-watchman.com/why-jehovahs-witnesses/​

Staggering the parallels in Jeremiah and the modern day daughter of Jerusalem: You can't tell them of the danger they are in because just like in 7:4 plainly put in Jeremiah "Do not put your trust in deceptive words and say 'the temple of Jehovah, the temple of Jehovah!'"

Those I know, faithfully read the Bible and adhere to JW's reading program; unfortunately they do not understand what they read and rely on GB's explanation. Sadly there is nothing that will change them at this point in time, all we can do is pray and hope for them

So powerful were these lying signs especially through books such as 'Your Kingdom Come' and 'Your Will be done' Which gave the date of 1763 for the ascendancy of Britain over the Dutch, Spain and France (the supposed plucked 3 horns) also 'Babylon has fallen God's Kingdom rules' and 'Then is Finished the Mystery of God' Which paralleled Christ's 3 and half yrs with the time from 1914 till the so called first resurrection in spring of 1918 calling it the 'Rule of Parallels'. So authentic in delivery I tried to memorise each of the chapters. Now looking back these books, these inspirations were too arcane, too profound for the conception of brothers they had to be and were Satanic in origin.

That’s the bottom line Mick. “They just don’t read enough scripture.” Also they don’t put Jehovah FIRST. The organization has put them under the delusion that they (collectively) are Jehovah. But they are the very ones uttering the “deceptive words.”

Although WT admittedly said unfaithful Jerusalem wasn’t Christendom, they left it at that…never said who it did parallel. But in a subtle way, they still promote that unfaithful Jerusalem is Christendom or the world in general…both completely wrong or should I say DECEPTIVE..

Any of us who heard on the news that the Olive crop was 25% lower this year, I bet thoughts went straight to Revelation 6:6? Even though it's not the Lord's day....We cannot be far off!

As regards the Brics I believe they are calling themselves the Global South. Are we seeing the rise of the King of the South?

 

[Watchman]

No. The Global South refers primarily to Africa and South America as well as Indonesia. Since the Roman Empire, the world has been dominated by nations in the northern hemisphere. Even after the supposed end of colonialism after WW2, South America and Africa have been deliberately suppressed and crushed under an unpayable burden of debt with IMF conditionalities attached to loans that prevent them from developing. China is changing all of that. Russia is too to a lesser extent. Russia just forgave Niger a 20-some billion-dollar loan. China's Belt and Road is helping those nations actually develop. China is really employing the American system of economy that has been shut down in America. China has about 2,000 projects going right now. And now that Russia and China have a strong military alliance nations of the so-called Global South are seeing an opportunity to shake off the Anglo empire's straight jacket. More and more it is appearing that the USA is going to be the odd man out, which seems to be the intention of the globalists, to take down the Big Dawg, America.

I don’t know how any brother or sister can read this excerpt and not really know in their heart that it is true.

“I don’t know how any brother or sister can read this excerpt and not really know in their heart that it is true.”

In order to establish truth, one first has to have the mental wherewithal to reason. As we see with “flat earth” thinkers, fact does not necessarily need to establish the ‘truth’ of the matter for them. Neither is it that fact does not exist as proof, but that it can be over ridden by belief that is based upon nothing more than ignorance through an obtuse refusal, due to personal desire to reason; the block usually buried in some early mental mind-set.

In essence, this is what we see in watchtower and it’s captives - scriptural “flat-earthers” rather than apostates; though that true apostate element seems set to grow all the more as time passes. Thus it is for those honest hearted ones whom accept truth regardless of the personal set-backs that honest appraisal often demands, are able to see truth clearly as reasoning costs them nothing in pride or selfish desire. There is no need to “make an agreement with the grave” - thus no barrier to humility.

The last great barrier to faith - death - stands as an equaliser to all. There must be many in watchtower, perhaps like the thief dying next to Christ, who though not understanding fully the why and wherefore, recognise that this life is a facade, and not the real thing; and though even without understanding, will be able to humbly accept truth when the time comes, because of appreciating nothing more that the lie as presented by watchtower has no truth in it.

I think I led my own life that way whilst still in watchtower. Their garment of truth never fitted for me. There was always a button missing and the stitching was always unravelling. Though I was as arrogant as the next brother in playing the watchtower game, It seemed to me in retrospect that talking the talk was of no value whatsoever. It was always and is only, about walking the walk in one‘s heart. I guess that is why so many will walk out of watchtower with no problem when the time comes.

 

[SusanB]

The way the brothers and sisters are indoctrinated to view the GB and the ORG as infallible, while verbally acknowledging that they can err, seems to be a lesson in cognitive dissonance. And, I think it is a new twist on the idea of once saved, always saved but refusing to admit the reality of their insistence on blind obedience to humans.

Robert King states it so clearly with this quote: “The Watchtower’s interpretations are obviously self-serving. Like the prophets of Jerusalem in Jeremiah’s day, it is as though the reams of prophetic commentary penned by the Watchtower over the decades have been written with a “false stylus” and are not reliable indicators of Jehovah’s future activities. And as a consequence of their falsity, Jehovah’s Witnesses have been misled into believing that the organization will never come under his inspection or disapproval.

For example, the March 15, 1951, Watchtower said: “We belong to God’s theocratic organization under his kingdom. His visible organization will not pass away, but is as stable and permanent as his kingdom. Therefore, come what remarkable, violent changes may in the earth’s physical appearance at the end of Satan’s world, we will not fear.”

By teaching that “his visible organization will not pass away, but is as stable and permanent as is his kingdom,” Jehovah’s Witnesses have been subtly seduced into putting their trust in “deceptive words”— mouthing, as it were: “the temple of Jehovah, the temple of Jehovah, the temple of Jehovah!”

“seems to be a lesson in cognitive dissonance.”

That’s it in a nutshell. I agree. In fact, I prefer the term in preference to blaming them outright - though it’s a narrow margin. Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. In following the GB rhetoric, It is a small step for all from believing that watchtower is the truth and feeling secure in that knowledge, to kidding one’s self that they are “anointed” to a position of power, thinking more of one’s self than is necessary. Clearly, we cannot be judges in that arena, but we can “by their fruits, know them”, and if we doubt their veracity, then perhaps they should look to themselves a little more. The trouble is, is that the GB are rapidly painting themselves as the fabled “emperor” that has no clothes on. The days where people took the GB at their word, is rapidly passing, Whereas in Anderson’s fable written circa 1837, the tale was first told back in ancient India where the focus was put upon the emperor that only those of similar or noble birth could touch or see the emperors fine clothes. The GB have created the same admission fee - only those that believe them can perceive their right to the glorious and exclusive channel. All others are “apostates” or at best, ”commoners”. As in the fable, so it is in truth: only the humble will see the GB’s nakedness when the judgement comes. The cognitive dissonance is actually of the GB, of their own making. They are living their own dream.
