Introduction
I
f the scriptures in the bible are really true, then at some time we should be able to measure them against tangible events, which are actually occurring in our recent history. By keeping on the watch for these events we can make decisions saving our own lives and perhaps many others. The bible does indicate that most people will be surprised by the sudden arrival of Jesus Christ however; it also indicates that a small remainder will have kept on the watch and will understand what is happening during the time of the end. They would see through Satan’s Unrighteous Deception. (2nd Thessalonians 2:13) The words written on these few pages with supporting scriptures will help the discerning reader to:
see the disgusting thing standing in a holy place. understand what the holy place is. understand who the man of lawlessness is. understand who is acting as a restraint and how he gets to be out of the way. how the man of lawlessness enters the temple and how he lifts himself up above a god. Understand what the apostasy is mentioned by the Apostle Paul. Understand who Babylon the Great really is and why. what the unclean expressions are and who they really gather together. who the drunkards are and what it means to eat and drink with them. What Satan’s Unrighteous Deception is ~9~
-Convincing Evidence-
and how extremely successful it’s been. See the way to real understanding of the bible What the seven headed wild beast represents. Understand a sacred secret. Which head received the death-stroke. Who the 10 kings are. Why the 10 kings do not yet have a kingdom How they give their power to the wild beast. What the name of the wild beast is. Why it’s a man’s number. Where to find the information to calculate the number. Why the number really is 666.
The combined total of these fulfillments should cement the fact that the end of the world is really about to happen, the conclusion of this system of things. Your faith in God’s plan as outlined in the bible will be solidified. If the reader is indeed a righteous person you will likely be surprised at how far reaching Satan’s Unrighteous Deception has been and yet relieved that you have been helped to see through it. The reader is expected to be a person who is well read in the scriptures however, by carefully examining scriptural references in your own bible a person less familiar should reach the end while still appreciating the profundities. The reader could turn to the last pages and quickly find answers to the name and number of the wild beast however, you may do yourself a disservice as the rationales and profundities may elude you. Until the disgusting thing is seen and understood the wild beast and its number cannot be so easily reconciled. It is recommended that the words be read, verified and contemplated from the beginning first, in order to make the words towards the ~ 10 ~
-Concerning Sin, Righteousness and Judgement-
end more easily understood. The mysteries of the bible have eluded the wisest and most intelligent men for many centuries. Hopefully the reader will understand that even now they still cannot be easily summarized and so quickly imparted to any man. The discerning reader who reaches the end of these pages should eventually understand why this admonishment was necessary. If the reader persists to the end there should be left no doubt that Jehovah’s Witnesses are living in the very same kingdom that our King Jesus Christ mentioned so often throughout the bible. The end time prophecies really are being fulfilled by Jehovah’s Witnesses and the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society. The writer attempts to first show the thing acting as a restraint in the hope that it prepares the reader for the new truths which will reveal the “man of lawlessness”. Please expect that some of these new truths will be difficult to bear. Jesus Christ himself withheld truths from his audience because he knew they would not be able to bear them. Remember and consider that his audience even included the twelve Apostles. After reaching the end the reader might spend some time musing about why Jesus Christ would not tell them these things and fully appreciate his benevolent concern. The writer of these words cannot righteously take any credit and so remains anonymous. The reader with great joy should eventually recognize in the pages which follow, who really is behind the insights being imparted here.

Man of Lawlessness
O
ne of the events prophesied in the bible and having many features we can measure is the revealing of the “man of lawlessness”. Paul confirms in his 2nd letter to the Thessalonians that it precedes the gathering together of the chosen ones to Jesus Christ when he arrives. According to the Gospel of Matthew this is the first action Jesus takes at the very conclusion of this system of things. Matthew 24:30 And then the sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in lamentation, and they will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he will send forth his angels with a great trumpet sound, and they will gather his chosen ones together from the four winds.
This scripture leaves no doubt that everyone will see Jesus Christ coming and so therefore, this gathering is still a future event. Searching for convincing evidences of this “man of lawlessness” is certainly a worthwhile effort and indicates a willingness to keep on the watch as admonished by Jesus Christ a few verses later on in Matthew Chapter 24.
~ 13 ~
-Convincing Evidence-
Matthew 24:42 “Keep on the watch, therefore, because YOU do not know on what day YOUR Lord is coming.” 2 Thessalonians 2:1 However, brothers, respecting the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him,… 3 Let no one seduce YOU in any manner, because it will not come unless the apostasy comes first and the man of lawlessness gets revealed, the son of destruction.
After contemplating the above scripture the reader should realize that the revealing of the man of lawlessness and recognizing the apostasy is inevitable for those righteous ones who are keeping on the watch. It is the faithful and loyal anointed Christians who will eventually discern these events. Once discerned there rests an obligation on these same faithful ones to feed the domestics. This is revealed by another end time scripture found in Matthew Chapter 24. Matthew 24:45 “Who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time? 46 Happy is that slave if his, master on arriving finds him doing so.
~ 14 ~
-Concerning Sin, Righteousness and Judgement-
Upon arriving Jesus Christ should find the faithful ones explaining what the man of lawlessness is, as well as the apostasy and also the disgusting thing which is to be seen in a holy place. This is so that the domestics or true Christians can “flee” at the proper time. The reader should also realize that if these scriptures are to be accurately fulfilled then at this time these same loyal faithful anointed ones, will be “beaten” by their very own anointed and drunken brothers, the evil slave. In order to keep on the watch we should be carefully examining current events so this apostasy and man of lawlessness can be recognized. By asking ourselves simple questions and looking for straightforward answers which might provide tangible evidences we could have success. The bible itself gives evidence that it is a simple straightforward approach that should work when looking for the truth as inferred by the following scripture in Isaiah: Isaiah 59:14 And righteousness itself kept standing simply far off. For truth has stumbled even in the public square, and what is straightforward is unable to enter.
After contemplating the words written on the following pages the discerning reader should realize that the questions being asked here are indeed very simple and the answers straightforward.
~ 15 ~
-Convincing Evidence-
The lawlessness was already at work in the first century and yet the effect of this lawlessness would become so thorough during the last days that it would gain entry right into the temple of The God. Such an overwhelming manifestation of lawlessness must not be able to continue escaping notice and yet the scriptures do indicate there is something acting as a restraint which will eventually be out of the way, making the revealing possible. 2nd Thessalonians 7 True, the mystery of this lawlessness is already at work; but only till he who is right now acting as a restraint gets to be out of the way.
Chapter two of 2nd Thessalonians begins by addressing those of the congregation on Thessalonica who the Apostle Paul considers to be his Christian brothers with the same hope as he. 2 Thessalonians 2:1 However, brothers, respecting the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him
The thing acting as a restraint is happening to those in God’s True Kingdom immediately preceding the gathering together of the chosen ones when Jesus is seen coming in the clouds by everyone in the world. It is the chosen anointed ones who are being restrained from seeing the truth about the man of lawlessness.
~ 16 ~
-Concerning Sin, Righteousness and Judgement-
The Serpents Face
T
here is a place in scripture where those who are faithful and loyal do get away to a place where they are fed truths. Could this be the time when they learn about the “man of lawlessness”? Revelation 12:14 But the two wings of the great eagle were given the woman, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place; there is where she is fed for a time and times and half a time away from the face of the serpent.
The place is in the wilderness, the thing they get away from which, must then be the same thing acting as a restraint, is the face of the serpent. The bible itself explains that something restrains loyal Christians from learning the truth about the man of lawlessness and yet the same bible later explains that loyal ones, “the woman” get away from something which now enables them to be fed truths. Straightforward answers can be found to simple questions. This leads into yet another simple question: Could God’s faithful chosen ones be living right in the face of Satan during the time of the end and for this reason are unable to see the mystery of the man of lawlessness? The bible book of Revelation does mention that faithful chosen ones would be living right in amongst those who ~ 17 ~
-Convincing Evidence-
belong to Satan and living in the very same place from where he is ruling. Revelation 2:9, 2:13 “I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich); and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan…13 I know thy works and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is; and that thou holdest fast My name and hast not denied My faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was My faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
These loyal anointed chosen ones, the true sons of the kingdom are living right in Satan’s face during the Lord’s Day! They are living directly amongst those who are saying they are God’s people and yet they are not. The serpents face must therefore represent the very close proximity of Satan’s influence. Would Satan have any advantage targeting false religion with his weeds? It makes sense that Satan would sow his weeds right inside of God’s True Kingdom if his motive is to somehow undermine it through some subtle and insidious plot. Consider the scripture at 2nd Thessalonians 2:9 which, in many translations describe his success at the very conclusion of this system of things using descriptive words such as “wonder”, “power” or “miracles”. If Satan’s deception is to be so incredibly successful then he must have somehow undermined God’s True Kingdom. It would therefore benefit the chosen anointed ones and true ~ 18 ~
-Concerning Sin, Righteousness and Judgement-
Christians belonging to this kingdom to very carefully measure all the events occurring in our recent history in order to detect those things that Jesus Christ himself warned us about so many times throughout the bible. Revelation Chapter 12 goes on to further describe what the serpent is doing to the chosen ones: Revelation 12:15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood.
In the bible “water” normally represents knowledge or truths however, if they are flooding out of the serpent’s mouth with a view to carry away or mislead the faithful chosen ones then they must be lies! A flood or river of lies suggests a continual publishing of words perhaps contained in a never ending flood of periodicals or ongoing distribution of magazines and books designed to lure and gather anointed chosen ones away from learning the real truth. Could this be the, “he who is acting as a restraint” mentioned in 2nd Thessalonians Chapter 2. Is it this flood of water which is causing God’s people to be carried away, restraining them from discerning the true identity of the man of lawlessness?
"When that one arrives he will give the world convincing evidence" ~ 19 ~
-Convincing Evidence-
Carried away
S
o these faithful anointed chosen ones, the true sons of the kingdom are not only living right in Satan’s face during the Lord’s day, they are also being continually flooded by lies regularly published and fed to them. Certainly it’s this flood of lies which, causes them to be “carried away” and restrains them, making it difficult to see truths about the “man of lawlessness”. Revelation Chapter 12 goes on to explain how these same lies will be overturned with help from the earth. Revelation 12:16 “And the earth helped the woman; and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth”
If we are now living in the Lord’s Day then, what feature recently provided by the earth presently exists which, has the surprising ability to overturn an overwhelming flood of published lies? Answer: The Internet. Mr. Stephen Cox, a professor of literature at the University of California made a very astute observation about the times we now live in and writes an article about: “the strange and unforeseen persistence of truth in our allegedly post-modern age.”
~ 20 ~
-Concerning Sin, Righteousness and Judgement-
His article can be read by going to the following hyperlink: http://libertyunbound.com/archive/2003_10/cox-truth.html - The Truth vs The Truth
In this article Professor Cox uses a religious organization which, publishes and distributes such a veritable flood of magazines and books that it is known world-wide. In his article he explains how this flood of information is now being put to the test by a relatively new technology also found world-wide called the Internet. Of all the earth’s recent achievements, which should be capable of swallowing up a flood of published lies, the Internet shows the greatest promise. In the serpents face are his eyes, ears and mouth. An anointed chosen one who is not away from the serpents face would be in a place where the serpent could see, hear and talk to him. Satan and his weeds can then restrain the chosen anointed one from learning the real truth and continue to mislead him. Once away from Satan’s Face and his continual flood of lies the faithful ones are no longer restrained from measuring events occurring in our recent history and matching them against those identifying criteria found in the bible which describe the; “man of lawlessness”. Jesus Christ told us in Matthew Chapter 24 that we would; “catch sight of a disgusting thing standing in a holy place”. The Apostle Paul also mentions a man, who sits down in the temple of The God publicly showing himself to be a ~ 21 ~
-Convincing Evidence-
god. We now have even more reason to identify the man of lawlessness. Careful contemplation should convince the discerning reader that entry into the holy place by the “man of lawlessness” and the “disgusting thing seen in a holy place” are likely to be very much related events. 2Thessalonians 2:4 He is set in opposition and lifts himself up over everyone who is called "god" or an object of reverence, so that he sits down in the temple of The God, publicly showing himself to be a god.
How does someone gain access to the actual temple of The God and further yet, how is he able to lift himself up above everyone who is called god and publicly show himself to be a god? It certainly is mysterious as to how such an extraordinary feat might be accomplished. 2 Thessalonians 2:7 True, the mystery of this lawlessness is already at work;
The "man of lawlessness" is also called the "man of sin" in many bible translations. Through the scriptures Jesus Christ showed us that we would eventually be helped with convincing evidence, truths given to us regarding sin (lawlessness), righteousness and also judgment. ~ 22 ~
-Concerning Sin, Righteousness and Judgement-
John 16:8-11 And when that one arrives he will give the world convincing evidence concerning sin and concerning righteousness and concerning judgment: 9 in the first place, concerning sin, because they are not exercising faith in me; 10 then concerning righteousness, because I am going to the Father and YOU will behold me no longer; 11 then concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
In regards to these truths which would eventually give convincing evidence, Jesus Christ afterwards said as recorded in the same chapter. John 16:12 “I have many things yet to say to you, but you are not able to bear them at present. 13 However, when that one arrives, the spirit of the truth, he will guide you into all the truth.”
After careful contemplation the discerning reader will realize the truths contained on these pages are indeed difficult to bear and yet are scripturally intact when measured against the events happening in our recent history. These truths accurately describe events occurring inside of God’s True kingdom during the last days, just as Jesus Christ spoke about when he was last on the earth and also his Apostles wrote about afterwards.
~ 23 ~
-Convincing Evidence-
Baptism
I
t would be a good strategy to now discern how someone is able to gain access to the temple of The God.
The following scripture shows how this is possible: Hebrews 10:19-23 Therefore, brothers, since we have boldness for the way of entry into the holy place by the blood of Jesus, 20 which he inaugurated for us as a new and living way through the curtain, that is, his flesh, 21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us approach with true hearts in the full assurance of faith, having had our hearts sprinkled from a wicked conscience and our bodies bathed with clean water. 23 Let us hold fast the public declaration of our hope without wavering, for he is faithful that promised.
The requisite for entry into the actual temple of The God is baptism, a “new and living way through the curtain.” At the time our hearts are sprinkled from a wicked conscience and our bodies bathed with clean water our baptismal vows gain entry into the actual temple of The God. Through this means any person can rightfully enter into, the temple of The God! Do you think Satan knows this? ~ 24 ~
-Concerning Sin, Righteousness and Judgement-
How can someone, a man, lift himself up over everyone who is called "god" through baptism? It would be a good idea to examine the command our Lord and King Jesus Christ gave us in regard to baptism in the following scripture: Matthew 28:18-20 And Jesus approached and spoke to them, saying: "All authority has been given me in heaven and on the earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded YOU. And, look! I am with YOU all the days until the conclusion of the system of things."
The Christian Baptismal requirement is an important way of access into the temple of The God. Careful contemplation of the baptismal criteria should now make the discerning reader come to the very uncomfortable conclusion that it is only Jehovah’s Witnesses who can have access to the temple as it is only Jehovah’s Witnesses who use God’s name, the name of the Father, Jehovah. There may now be some who disagree that God’s actual name must be used in order for a Christian Baptism to be complete. If this is the case they could consider what Jesus Christ said in the following scripture written in the Gospel of John. ~ 25 ~
-Convincing Evidence-
John 8:44 You are from your father the Devil, and you wish to do the desires of your father. That one was a manslayer when he began, and he did not stand fast in the truth, because the truth is not in him.
In many religions the one officiating over the baptism makes a vow “in the name of the father” instead of, in the name of the father. The scripture above shows that it is necessary to use God’s actual name. This is in order to differentiate exactly which father is being referred to in the vows as it is evident that more than one father exists. If this is now understood then perhaps the confounding in regard to God’s name mentioned in Psalm 83 might also be fully appreciated. Psalm 83:16-18 -KJV Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O Lord. 17 Let them be confounded and troubled forever; yea let them be put to shame And perish:18 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.
The use of God’s name is what completes a valid baptism as commanded by Jesus Christ and allows the new Christian to gain entry to the temple. It is only Jehovah’s Witnesses who use God’s name in their baptismal ceremony. So could it really be that a man of lawlessness exists inside of the organization of Jehovah’s Witnesses? ~ 26 ~

One new man
T
his concern certainly justifies the further examination of scripture. The reader should agree that a straightforward place to start is by finding any scripture that describes a "man" having access to the holy temple. Do the scriptures indicate in the singular any "man" who might exist inside of Jehovah’s people and who also has access to the holy temple? Yes, there really is an esoteric group called a "man” in scripture that exists right inside of God’s True Kingdom: Ephesians 2:13-18 But now in union with Christ Jesus YOU who were once far off have come to be near by the blood of the Christ. 14 For he is our peace, he who made the two parties one and destroyed the wall in between that fenced them off. 15 By means of his flesh he abolished the enmity, the Law of commandments consisting in decrees, that he might create the two peoples in union with himself into one new man and make peace; 16 and that he might fully reconcile both peoples in one body (the man) to God through the torture stake, because he had killed off the enmity by means of himself. 17 And he came and declared the good news of peace to YOU, the ones far off, and peace to those near, 18 because through him we, both peoples, (the man) have the approach to the Father by one spirit. 19 Certainly, therefore, ~ 28 ~
-Concerning Sin, Righteousness and Judgement-
YOU (the man) are no longer strangers and alien residents, but YOU (the man) are fellow citizens of the holy ones and are members of the household of God, 20 and YOU (the man) have been built up upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, while Christ Jesus himself is the foundation cornerstone. 21 In union with him the whole building, being harmoniously joined together, is growing into a holy temple for Jehovah. 22 In union with him YOU, too, (the man) are being built up together into a place for God to inhabit by spirit.
The notes in parentheses and bolded are added for emphasis so that it becomes more easily evident to the discerning reader that the entire scripture above is referring to one new man. The "man" is therefore that esoteric and anointed group of people who is growing towards being accepted as part of the temple for God. The bible really does identify a “man” who also has access to the temple of The God. Not only does the scripture above identify a man. It is this same man who is “growing into a holy temple for Jehovah”. The holy place is also now identified! Certainly if Satan is to have any success undermining God’s True Kingdom then it is this man who must be the preferred target of his deceptions. Inside the organization of Jehovah’s Witnesses this "man" is better known as the Governing Body which represents the anointed slave class who are appointed to "feed the ~ 29 ~
-Convincing Evidence-
domestics" and direct the organization through the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society. This entire arrangement is named: “God’s spirit directed organization”. The question is now once again at issue however, as to whether this is the faithful or perhaps really could still contain the evil slave? A question that many believe was formally resolved in the year 1919. If God’s spirit directed organization who governs all of Jehovah’s Witnesses really is the man of lawlessness then they must somehow have lifted themselves up above the station of a god (a small "g" god) while also gaining access to the temple. As discovered earlier, entry into the temple is through baptism. Therefore a more careful examination of the baptismal vows made by Jehovah’s Witnesses should now be undertaken in order to determine the possibility that this might be a valid concern. The baptismal vows, which are necessary to become one of Jehovah's Witnesses, are carefully explained in the June 1st 1985 Watchtower Magazine on page 30 as follows: "On the basis of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, have you repented of your sins and dedicated yourself to Jehovah to do his will? The second is: "do you understand that your dedication and baptism identify you as one of Jehovah's Witnesses in association with God's spirit directed organization?"
~ 30 ~
-Concerning Sin, Righteousness and Judgement-
Baptismal Vows invented by Jehovah’s Witnesses
These vows are publicly made often in front of thousands of people. Now the discerning reader should also attempt to reconcile the Jehovah's Witness baptismal criteria wherever possible to 2nd Thessalonians 2:4 and our Lord Jesus Christ’s commandment at Matthew 28:19. Can you see in the figure at the top of this page an esoteric group, the man who is "publicly showing himself to be a god"? Jehovah's Witnesses are taught by this same organization that the baptismal vows are essential for salvation as confirmed in the following quote from the January 15th 1989 Watchtower Magazine on page 15: "Baptismal candidates must acknowledge publicly that on the basis of Jesus' sacrifice they have repented of their sins and have dedicated themselves to Jehovah. They must also understand ~ 31 ~
-Convincing Evidence-
that dedication and baptism identify them as Jehovah's Witnesses." “The entire baptismal arrangement, including this public expression of faith, is essential for salvation.”
So in these new baptismal vows the name of the Father is Jehovah. The name of the son is Jesus. In addition we now have the man whose name is:“God's spirit-directed organization”
So here we have another name which goes beyond those commanded by Jesus Christ. The Watchtower Magazine quoted above insists that these altered vows which now include this new name are essential for salvation. With this in mind please contemplate how the Watchtower statements quoted above fly in the face of the bible truth mentioned in the following scripture. Acts 4:11 This is „the stone that was treated by YOU builders as of no account that has become the head of the corner.‟ Furthermore, there is no salvation in anyone else, for there is not another name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must get saved.”
There is not another name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must get saved! It’s almost as if the Apostle Peter foresaw that another name might be ~ 32 ~
-Concerning Sin, Righteousness and Judgement-
added to the commanded ones along with an unrighteous assertion or unclean inspired utterance that another name is necessary for salvation. In order to become one of Jehovah’s Witnesses newly interested ones are compelled to publicly confirm the above vows which, now gives them the ability to worship and rightfully participate in any other Jehovah’s Witness activity including the “house to house ministry”. The newly interested one must be convinced that a vow made to the additional name in the baptismal arrangement is essential to their personal salvation. Until the new one gets this unique baptismal mark they are considered as nothing. The writer of these words understands that what has been written so far may be difficult to bear if you are a Jehovah’s Witness however, please endure through the next few chapters as the mystery of the man of lawlessness will soon be made evident to the discerning reader. The disgusting thing standing in a holy place should also shortly be seen. You are not far from some very exciting and profound realizations. These are being imparted to you by someone who was fed in the wilderness away from the serpents face. It is the word of this witnessing which has the ability to conquer Satan by helping you to see through his very powerful and unrighteous deceptions.

Set in opposition
T
he reader should agree that in order to be saved a person has to approach the altar in God’s holy temple and so benefit from Jesus Christ's sacrifice. The individual’s public expression must gain entry into the temple of The God. Their expression provides worship and reverence to all those named in the baptismal vows including an additional name called "God’s spirit directed organization". Jesus Christ (a god) commanded that his baptismal arrangement should be in place right up to the very conclusion of the system of things. Anyone who has the courage to presumptuously change his arrangement prior to the conclusion of this system of things must therefore consider themselves to be a small "g" god of greater authority than our Lord and King Jesus Christ. They have lifted themselves up over everyone who is called "god". By changing this commandment before the conclusion of the system of things the Governing Body and Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, God’s spirit directed organization has indicated disagreement with and opposition to our King Jesus Christ. They must think that they are also gods and are showing this publicly! The Governing Body has insisted that since 1919 they have already passed inspection, been declared righteous and appointed over all their belongings. Could this be an unclean inspired expression designed to gather together God’s chosen ones before our Lord Jesus Christ comes to do the same? Their intent has therefore been to change times and law. ~ 34 ~

Immediately before making the baptismal commandment however, our Lord and King left no doubt as to his authority over these matters: Matthew 28:17 And Jesus approached and spoke to them, saying: "All authority has been given me in heaven and on the earth”
Jesus Christ’s commandment above was a law in the first century and continues to be a law right up to the conclusion of this system of things. Anyone who disagrees with or undermines this law should therefore be considered lawless! There is now a man identified who is capable of entry into the temple itself that also manifests opposition to and lifts himself above the station of Jesus Christ our King and who does this in full public view. There is no other candidate for the “man of lawlessness” in our modern history. The Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses, “God’s spirit directed organization” is the only "man" identified in the bible who through the use of God’s actual name is capable of entry into the new temple. No other worldwide organized religion could achieve this.

-Convincing Evidence-
The Motive To trick newly interested ones into publicly confirming a vow, which venerates the evil slave, the man of lawlessness is indeed a very insidious and unrighteous deception. None of this makes sense however, unless there is a motive. In order for the discerning reader to be convinced they really do need to understand what the motive might be. Our King Jesus Christ explained the exact circumstances that his Kingdom would be in as the conclusion of this system of things approached: Matthew 13:36 Then after dismissing the crowds he went into the house. And his disciples came to him and said: “Explain to us the illustration of the weeds in the field.” 37 In response he said: “The sower of the fine seed is the Son of man; 38 the field is the world; as for the fine seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; but the weeds are the sons of the wicked one, 39 and the enemy that sowed them is the Devil. The harvest is a conclusion of a system of things, and the reapers are angels.41 The Son of man will send forth his angels, and they will collect out from his kingdom all things that cause stumbling and persons who are doing lawlessness, 42 and they will pitch them into the fiery furnace. There is where [their] weeping and the gnashing of [their] teeth will be.
~ 36 ~
-Concerning Sin, Righteousness and Judgement-
Satan himself must have a motive for sowing his seeds in among the ones that Jesus Christ has sowed. Certainly he should have been hoping to use his weeds in such a way as to have some malicious influence on God’s Kingdom and Jehovah himself. Imagine then, if Satan and his weeds could somehow use their influence to undermine a fundamental commandment of the appointed King of God’s own Kingdom. Imagine further, if Satan could achieve this in such a way that it would also gain entry into the temple of THE God. Even worse, if he was able to use the subjects of God’s own Kingdom including God’s anointed chosen ones to taunt Jehovah right to his very face inside his own holy temple!
Isn’t that DISGUSTING! Can the discerning reader think of a more abominable motive for Satan to have? The scripture at 2nd Thessalonians Chapter 2 gives evidence proving this lawlessness was exactly Satan’s motive. 2nd Thessalonians 2:9 But the lawless one‟s presence is according to the operation of Satan with every powerful work and lying signs and portents 10 and with every unrighteous deception for those who are perishing, as a retribution because they did not accept the love of the truth that they might be saved.
Satan’s motive for sowing weeds in amongst the wheat has been almost completely successful! Satan’s modern day ~ 37 ~
-Convincing Evidence-
unrighteous deception has the same achievement as his exploits in the Garden of Eden except instead of misleading only two people he has now been able to maneuver an entire kingdom into disobeying God’s commandments! The discerning reader should have now seen the “disgusting thing standing in a holy place.” Or as some bible translations call it “the abomination”. Still others call it “the appalling sacrilege”. Are you appalled? If the disgusting thing has not been seen then consider what might be acting as a restraint? Has something on the previous pages been missed. Is there anything written so far which cannot be verified through the scriptures and also measured against what is really happening in our own very recent history inside of God’s True Kingdom? Could these things still be too difficult to bear? Please contemplate the full extent, the height and depth of this circumstance which Satan can now use to taunt Jehovah. The leaders of God’s people are inciting Jehovah to jealousy with what is not really a god. Also consider what Jesus Christ taught us to pray about in the Lord’s Prayer. It showed that the most important concern he had was the sanctification of God’s Holy Name, Jehovah. Certainly Jesus must have been concerned that at some time in the future a situation might occur, bringing reproach to God’s actual name. Instead of sanctifying God’s name, the man of lawlessness and the actual people who are called by God’s name, Jehovah’s Witnesses, have been used by Satan to defame it in a very reprehensible ~ 38 ~
-Concerning Sin, Righteousness and Judgement-
way. Proving the concern that Jesus Christ exhibited while teaching us the Lord’s Prayer was entirely valid! Matthew 6:9
“You must pray then, this way: “‟Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. Let your kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon the earth.‟”
Remember that as we approach the conclusion of this system of things, God’s will is that we listen to and obey his son Jesus Christ in a spotless and irreprehensible way. A careful examination of 2nd Thessalonians explains that this man of lawlessness is to be; "done away with by the spirit of his mouth". It is in John Chapter 16 where we find out what the "spirit of his mouth" is: John 16:13 However, when that one arrives, the spirit of the truth, he will guide YOU into all the truth, for he will not speak of his own impulse, but what things he hears he will speak, and he will declare to YOU the things coming. 14 That one will glorify me, because he will receive from what is mine and will declare it to YOU.
The man of lawlessness is to be done away with simply by a revealing of the truth. Truth’s which, indirectly come from the very mouth of Jesus Christ, our true Lord and King! These truths were learned while being away from the serpents face. It was Satan himself who was the “he who is acting as a restraint” mentioned in 2nd Thessalonians Chapter 2. ~ 39 ~

Babylon the Great
T
he Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses through the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society has built a city containing over six million people and through changing Jesus Christ’s baptismal commandment have vows which reach right up into heaven before God in his holy temple! Through this means they have successfully made a celebrated name for themselves while gathering together God’s people from around the whole world. In ancient times there were men on the earth who attempted to achieve the same thing and yet did not. This attempt is recorded in Genesis: Genesis 11:4 They now said: “Come on! Let us build ourselves a city and also a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a celebrated name for ourselves, for fear we may be scattered over all the surface of the earth.”
The Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses have been completely successful in their attempt and so have a much greater achievement. Their ancient forefathers attempted and failed to build a city called Babylon. The greater achievement of the modern day Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses and its Watchtower Bible and Tract Society has therefore rightfully earned them the name; Babylon the Great.

The Plan
I
t is well known that Satan can and does read the bible himself. When Jesus Christ survived the test in the wilderness it is proof of this however, has Satan now also read the New Testament? If Satan has read the New Testament then he would be well aware of Jesus Christ’s plan when he returns to the earth. To find a way to undermine Jesus Christ’s plans would therefore serve Satan’s best interests. So what are Jesus Christ’s plans when he returns to the earth? This has been discussed earlier in these pages and revealed in scripture: Matthew 24:30 And then the sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in lamentation, and they will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he will send forth his angels with a great trumpet sound, and they will gather his chosen ones together from the four winds.
What is the best way that Satan could undermine Jesus Christ’s plan to gather together his chosen ones?
~ 41 ~
-Convincing Evidence-
The Inner Chambers
S
atan could lure and gather those same chosen ones together to a different place before Jesus Christ comes to do the same. In fact Jesus Christ warns us of this through the scriptures immediately preceding those which mention his own plan: Matthew 24:23 “Then if anyone says to you, ‟Look! Here is the Christ,‟ or, „There!‟ do not believe it. 24 For false Christ‟s and false prophets will arise and give great signs and wonders so as to mislead, if possible, even the chosen ones. 25 Look! I have forewarned you. 26 Therefore if people say to you. „Look! He is in the wilderness‟ do not go out; „Look! He is in the inner chambers,‟ do not believe it.”
Jesus Christ leaves no doubt in the scriptures that chosen ones should be very, very, very careful about where they might be gathered together. The thought that his faithful slave had passed inspection by Jesus Christ in 1919 was an unrighteous deception. The Governing Body of Jehovah Witnesses has convinced over 6 million people that Jesus Christ is directing their activities from somewhere deep inside the Brooklyn Bethel Headquarters of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society. They have skillfully convinced Jehovah’s Witnesses by indirectly saying; ‘Look! He is in the inner chambers’, another unclean inspired expression. Jehovah’s people have been operating in error since then. Why would THE ~ 42 ~
-Concerning Sin, Righteousness and Judgement-
God, Jehovah, allow his witnesses to be governed by an evil slave, the man of lawlessness for so long? The scripture at 2nd Thessalonians Chapter 2 explains the reason why: 2 Thessalonians 2:11 So that is why God lets an operation of error go to them, that they may get to believing the lie, 12 in order that they all may be judged because they did not believe the truth but took pleasure in unrighteousness.
Who is it that is really behind the lies and deception? 2nd Thessalonians 2:9 But the lawless ones presence is according to the operation of Satan with every powerful work and lying signs and portents 10 and with every unrighteous deception.
These scriptures imply that the lawless ones presence would be found right inside of God’s True Kingdom! 2nd Thessalonians not only mentions a also mentions a lie.

The Lie
I
s there any scriptural evidence that can help us identify a lie or falsehood being propagated by those in charge of Gods people? There is in fact a scripture in Isaiah, which talks about a future time when the rulers of Gods people take refuge in a lie and further explains that a “covenant with death” is made which will eventually dissolve. Could it really be true that the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses and the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society have made an actual covenant with death itself? Please consider some quotes from a July 1st 1983 Watchtower Article: “Live Companions of Those Hidden From Divine Denunciation” “Millions Now Living will Never Die” “There are thousands of millions of persons living on earth today. Millions of these are now learning of the wonderful opportunity of keeping on living upon it without ever dying off it” “Unquestionably, so late in this “time of the end” since the end of the gentile times in 1914, there are many live men and women of faith and integrity who will never die off the face of the earth, God’s footstool.” ~ 44 ~
-Concerning Sin, Righteousness and Judgement-
Please now consider the lie (falsehood) believed by the rulers of God’s people as described by a prophetic end time scripture found in the book of Isaiah: Isaiah 28:14 Therefore hear the word of Jehovah, YOU braggarts, YOU rulers of this people who are in Jerusalem: 15 Because YOU men have said: "We have concluded a covenant with Death; and with She´ol we have effected a vision; the overflowing flash flood, in case it should pass through, will not come to us, for we have made a lie our refuge and in falsehood we have concealed ourselves"; 16 therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said: "Here I am laying as a foundation in Zion a stone, a tried stone, the precious corner of a sure foundation. No one exercising faith will get panicky. 17 And I will make justice the measuring line and righteousness the leveling instrument; and the hail must sweep away the refuge of a lie, and the waters themselves will flood out the very place of concealment. 18 And YOUR covenant with Death will certainly be dissolved, and that vision of YOURS with She´ol will not stand. The overflowing flash flood, when it passes through YOU must also become for it a trampling place.
The lie is "the covenant with death". ~ 45 ~
-Convincing Evidence-
The truth is that the ones who said; "millions now living will never die" and also said; "the live companions of those hidden from denunciation" have told a lie, an unclean inspired expression. Their “covenant with death” will be dissolved and they will not be “hidden from denunciation”, instead as Isaiah points out the truth will “sweep away the refuge of a lie” and also “flood out the very place of concealment”. Notice in the scripture above that a revealing of falsehood (lie) from a place of concealment would be as a result of righteousness (truth) and justice coming from a tried stone laid as a foundation in Zion. These must represent truths coming from our Lord and King Jesus Christ only after he is tried and resurrected. The waters that flood out the very place of concealment are truths coming from the spirit of his mouth. The discerning reader should realize this cannot have application to Isaiah’s contemporaries and has never had any application throughout all history since before our King Jesus Christ’s resurrection, until now. The covenant with death also did not happen during the first century and such an extreme covenant as this has never existed inside of God’s Kingdom until our very own recent history. The truths written on the pages of this book are the leveling instrument. The lie is being swept away. The shame of the evil slave is being revealed. These words are flooding out their very place of concealment. The Covenant with Death is being dissolved. Does the reader understand why there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when Jesus Christ comes to gather together his chosen ones? ~ 46 ~

The Drunkards
N
otice in the beginning of Isaiah Chapter 28 that the rulers of God’s people are identified in more detail: Isaiah 28:1 Woe to the eminent crown of the drunkards of Ephraim, and the fading beauty that is upon the head of the fertile valley of those overpowered with wine.
These drunkards have an eminent or celebrated crown and so must be kings, and yet their glory is fading because they have been overcome by wine. The covenant with death and unclean inspired expressions are certainly attractive. To think Jesus Christ is really directing matters on this earth through an exclusive and esoteric group of men somewhere deep within the confines of the Brooklyn Bethel could easily lure the unwary chosen anointed ones into believing such an appealing notion. Jesus Christ himself said that many (Mt 24:4) would be misled including if possible even the chosen ones (Mt 24:24) who may find these unclean expressions to be alluring and attractive. The promise of never dying, the covenant with death has lured and misled millions of people into compromising their integrity to Jesus Christ and his commandments. Millions belonging to this kingdom have been exploited with counterfeit words designed to attract them like bait in a trap. Certainly the demise of those who are misled must be very drastic for Jesus to have so often admonished us to be wary about ~ 48 ~
-Concerning Sin, Righteousness and Judgement-
being gathered together and held captive by false and ingenious expressions very carefully designed by Satan and his weeds to mislead them. After such an extraordinary effort by Jesus and his Apostles to warn them the name “drunkards” certainly does apply to those chosen ones who even today are still overpowered by Satan’s Unrighteous Deception. Who are these chosen ones? The book of Revelation calls them kings: Revelation 1:4 May YOU have undeserved kindness and peace from “The One who is and who was and who is coming,” and from the seven spirits that are before his throne, 5 and from Jesus Christ, “the Faithful Witness,” “The firstborn from the dead,” and “The Ruler of the kings of the earth.” Revelation 5:10 “And you made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they are to rule over the earth.”
The book of Revelation should also tell us more about these kings who are to rule the earth and it does, however, many have been conditioned to believe these are present day pagan kings of nations rather than the same chosen or anointed kings mentioned earlier in the book of Revelation. This conditioning of beliefs greatly changes to Satan’s own clever advantage the way the Book of Revelation is understood and so effectively restrains people from seeing the real truth. So how should we understand the Book of Revelation? ~ 49 ~

Real Understanding
M
any people have been conditioned to believe that the wild beast, seven heads and the ten Kings represent pagan kings and/or organizations. If this were true then an extraordinary amount of the bible has been written about the nations and their concerns and activities. The bible assures us however, that these really are not the concern of Jehovah and therefore have not earned such a prominent place in the scriptures. See what Isaiah tells us about “the very way of real understanding” in the following scripture: Isaiah 40:14-17 14 With whom did he consult together that one might make him understand, or who teaches him in the path of justice, or teaches him knowledge, or makes him know the very way of real understanding? 15 Look! The nations are as a drop from a bucket; and as the film of dust on the scales they have been accounted. Look! He lifts the islands themselves as mere fine [dust]. 16 Even Leb´a·non is not sufficient for keeping a fire burning, and its wild animals are not sufficient for a burnt offering. 17 All the nations are as something nonexistent in front of him; as nothing and an unreality they have been accounted to him.
If the nations really are just a “drop in the bucket” then very few words in the bible will be accorded to them. Far too many of the words in the book of Revelation and ~ 50 ~
-Concerning Sin, Righteousness and Judgement-
Daniel however, have been attributed to pagan kings and nations by the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses through the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society! What is it that Jehovah is really interested in? His kingdom and his chosen ones, the anointed kings of the earth. The discerning reader should carefully notice in the scripture above that the previous scripture reveals how this is the way of “real understanding”. So if the nations and their pagan kings are just a film of dust or a drop in the bucket they must get a very small mention in the book of Revelation which represents the entire scales or the full bucket. The underlined words in the following scripture are sufficient for that drop, or film of dust: Revelation 11:18 But the nations became wrathful, and your own wrath came, and the appointed time for the dead to be judged, and to give [their] reward to your slaves the prophets and to the holy ones and to those fearing your name, the small and the great, and to bring to ruin those ruining the earth.”
If the underlined text in the scripture above is the drop in the bucket or film of dust in regard to the nations then the remainder of the book of Revelation has only to do with God’s Kingdom and Satan’s effect on it. Instead of being concerned about how the nations and their kings might war against God’s kingdom the focus now changes to how God’s chosen ones should be more careful about keeping ~ 51 ~
-Convincing Evidence-
God’s commandments, not being gathered together in the wrong place by misleading signs and to be aware of Satan’s very slick machinations so they are not misled. The “way of real understanding” focuses our attention on exactly the same things Jesus Christ warned us about so many times in the gospels. The “way of real understanding” assures us that a war with the pagan kings and their nations does not concern Jehovah at all and therefore should really be of no concern for the chosen kings. Jesus Christ himself also told Christians they need not be concerned about wars with nations as confirmed in the following scripture: Matthew 24:6 YOU are going to hear of wars and reports of wars; see that YOU are not terrified. For these things must take place, but the end is not yet.
Instead of being terrified by the thought that nations and their kings will war against God’s Kingdom, applying this “way of real understanding” to the book of Revelation simply reinforces the admonishments given to the chosen ones in the gospels by Jesus Christ. In an extraordinary way this makes it crystal clear how Satan’s Unrighteous Deceptions are having such a great success.

Once the discerning reader has read, verified and contemplated all the words written on these pages he or she should have an appreciation for why these mysteries and secrets have been necessary. The mysteries are only there to make it difficult for Satan to understand while still providing an opportunity for those men and women who have faith in the truth to understand. If only a very few are helped by the Book of Revelation and its secrets to see through the unrighteous deceptions then Satan has still been conquered.

Unclean inspired expressions
I
n Revelation chapter 16 we discover there are unclean inspired expressions, as signs designed to gather together the kings of the entire inhabited earth. In the gospel of Matthew Jesus Christ also admonished chosen ones to be careful about being gathered together by false signs. Why would Jesus Christ admonish present day pagan kings to “stay awake”? It is not really the pagan kings that Satan wants to mislead. It is very important these anointed chosen kings are not misled and do stay awake so they are not brought to shame for having been so easily deceived. This is especially after having been admonished by Jesus Christ, so many times. Our recent history proves however, these anointed chosen kings of the entire inhabited earth have been misled into gathering together in the wrong place. Revelation 16:14 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. 14 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 to the war of the great day of God the Almighty. 15 “Look! I am coming as a thief. Happy is the one [king of the entire inhabited earth] that stays awake and keeps his outer garments, that he may not

Now please very carefully contemplate and compare to Revelation Chapter 16 what Jesus Christ told his disciples in Matthew Chapter 24 about signs designed to mislead the chosen ones: Matthew 24:24 For false Christ‟s and false prophets will arise and will give great signs and wonders so as to mislead if possible, even the chosen ones.
The “chosen ones” in the book of Matthew are being warned about signs coming from false prophets and in the Book of Revelation the “kings of the entire inhabited earth” are being warned about signs also coming from the false prophet. There should be no doubt that the “chosen ones” admonished about misleading signs in Matthew Chapter 24 and the “kings of the entire inhabited earth” admonished about misleading signs in Revelation Chapter 16 are one and the same. When the discerning reader concludes this is true they will realize how effective the “water cast out of the serpents mouth” has been and how far these flooding waters have “carried them away”. The full extent of Satan’s very cunning and unrighteous deceptions should now be more apparent to the discerning reader. If not, please consider reading and contemplating the previous paragraphs again. ~ 55 ~

The Unrighteous Deception
T
he very first thing that Jesus Christ does when he comes back to the earth is to gather his chosen ones together:
Matthew 24:31 And he will send forth his angels with a great trumpet sound, and they will gather his chosen ones together.
We all know that Satan can read the bible and so therefore is aware of Jesus Christ’s plan. In order to undermine such a plan all Satan would have to do is gather together those same chosen ones to some other place. If this truly is Satan’s idea to undermine Jesus Christ’s own plan then you may also agree the place where Satan designs to mislead these chosen ones into gathering will also have a name. Even if the place where Satan misleads them into gathering is not a literal geographic destination it should still have a name. Revelation Chapter 16 says that the kings of the inhabited earth “are gathered together to the place that is called in Hebrew Har-Magedon.”. The Valley of Megiddo or Har-Magedon is the place in the Hebrew Scriptures where God’s King Josiah mistakenly went even after being told by God that he should not go there because it would bring him to ruin. King Josiah was unnecessarily killed; he should not have gone there. Therefore King Josiah ended up fighting a war which was against God’s own plans. The war of Har-Magedon! ~ 56 ~
-Concerning Sin, Righteousness and Judgement-
Calling the place Har-Magedon where Satan misleads chosen kings of the entire inhabited earth into gathering is therefore a very fitting metaphor as in the New Testament Jesus Christ also warns chosen ones about being misled into following false signs. There was much grief and wailing in the valley of Megiddo when King Josiah was killed. It will be the very same way when these chosen kings of the inhabited earth, the anointed chosen ones are shamed into realizing their own error. 2 Chronicles 36:22 And Josiah did not turn his face away from him, but to fight against him he disguised himself and did not listen to the words of Necho from the mouth of God. So he came to fight in the valley plain of Meggido.
The chosen kings of the earth today are being gathered together to the place called Har-Magedon by false signs and false prophets because they also did not listen to the many warnings made by Jesus Christ throughout the bible. Let him that has ears listen. When Babylon the Great is given the cup of God’s wrath these same chosen kings of the entire inhabited earth will weep and beat themselves in grief: Revelation 18:9 And the kings of the earth who committed fornication with her and lived in shameless luxury will weep and beat themselves in grief over her, when they look at the smoke from the burning of her, while they stand at a ~ 57 ~

distance because of their fear of her torment and say, “Too bad, too bad, you great city, Babylon you strong city, because in one
hour your judgment has arrived!” Notice that Jesus Christ has also mentioned another hour of judgment when chosen ones would weep and beat themselves in grief: Matthew 24:50
The master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect and in an hour that he does not know, and will punish him with the greatest severity and will assign him his part with the hypocrites. There is where [his] weeping and the gnashing of his teeth will be.
The kings mentioned in Revelation Chapter 18 and the evil slave mentioned in Matthew Chapter 24 share the same fate during the same judgment hour because they are both chosen anointed kings of the inhabited earth. Can the reader now see through Satan’s Unrighteous Deception? Revelation 16:14 They are, in fact, expressions inspired by demons and perform signs, and they go forth to the [chosen] kings of the entire inhabited earth, to gather them together to the war of the great day of God the Almighty.
It is the anointed chosen kings of the entire inhabited earth being gathered together by Satan to the war of the great day of God the Almighty and not the pagan kings of nations. The war is a giant spiritual battle between God ~ 58 ~

and Satan in order to reclaim at least some of the chosen anointed ones. If God the Almighty and his son our King Jesus Christ is able to help some of these see through the unrighteous deception and remain loyal to their King Jesus Christ then Satan, is conquered! That some would indeed see through the lies and have faith in the truth is assured in the scriptures which immediately follow those which describe the success of Satan’s very powerful and unrighteous deception. 2 Thessalonians 2:13 However, we are obligated to thank God always for YOU, brothers loved by Jehovah, because God selected YOU from the beginning for salvation by sanctifying you with spirit and by your faith in the truth.
The words written on these pages stand as testimony to the validity of this scripture. A faithful remnant of the anointed chosen ones really will have faith in the truths told by their King Jesus Christ and written down in the bible. They will listen to him.

Would you want to be found eating the emblems and drinking the wine with the drunkards who have told lies, undermined Jesus Christ’s sovereignty by disobeying his law while lifting themselves up above his appointed station right inside of Jehovah’s own Holy Temple? Of course not! Celebrating the Memorial of Jesus Christ’s death in an arrangement facilitated by Satan and his weeds would be like committing an act of spiritual fornication with a harlot! This is the same harlot spoken about by the angel in Revelation Chapter 17: Revelation 17:1-2 “Come, I will show you the judgment upon the great harlot who sits on many waters, with whom the [chosen] kings of the earth committed fornication, whereas those who inhabit the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication.”

worthless. Not only have they profaned the holy place with their disgusting thing they have removed the “constant feature”, the yearly memorial of our King Jesus Christ’s death. This is exactly what Daniel prophesied would happen: Daniel 11:31 31 And there will be arms that will stand up, proceeding from him; and they will actually profane the sanctuary, the fortress, and remove the constant [feature]. “And they will certainly put in place the disgusting thing that is causing desolation.
Celebrating the memorial of Jesus Christ’s death in an arrangement facilitated by Satan and his weeds is like sacrificing to demons. The mystery of the name of the harlot should now be evident to the discerning reader. Revelation 17:5 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.”

It is likely they would belittle the undermining of Jesus Christ’s baptismal commandment and have people believe there would be no consequence to such a seemingly small scriptural commandment. Perhaps some of Satan’s weeds would even have the audacity to stand up in front of thousands of people at a Circuit Assembly and boldly declare that making a vow to “God’s spirit directed organization” was not an act of veneration. Perhaps they will try and convince you the vow is not really a part of the baptism at all. You can be certain that Satan and his weeds will do everything possible to stop the words of truth written on these pages from being further copied, distributed and understood. They will not stop at anything to suppress these truths.

Instead of being so easily misled by Satan’s weeds what the bible itself warns us about in regard to adjusting God’s commandments should be very carefully considered. Deuteronomy 12:32 Every word that I am commanding you is what you should be careful to do. You must not add to it nor take away from it.
Perhaps the weeds may attempt to convince true Christians that the baptismal commandments are not a very important law. Maybe they will try and convince you the commandment is not a law at all. Reminding the reader that Jesus Christ the King of the entire universe came back after his death in order to give us this very important commandment should once again elevate its importance. The Apostle Paul understood how very important it is to keep Jesus Christ’s commandments in a spotless and irreprehensible way: 1 Timothy 6:13-14 In the sight of God, who preserves all things alive, and of Christ Jesus, who as a witness made the fine public declaration before Pontius Pilate, I give you orders 14 that you observe the commandment in a spotless and irreprehensible way until the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The consequence of changing God’s word or commandments is explained in the last Chapter of the Book of Revelation. ~ 66 ~
-Concerning Sin, Righteousness and Judgement-
Revelation 22:18 “I am bearing witness to everyone that hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone makes an addition to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this scroll.”
For making additions to one of the foremost of God’s commandments regarding baptism what do you think the consequence should be? Notice in Revelation Chapter 16 that the last of the plagues will include an extensive earthquake where Babylon the Great is given the cup of God’s wrath. Babylon the Great has earned Jehovah’s wrath for undermining his appointed King Jesus Christ’s baptismal commandments in such a way that Satan is able to taunt Jehovah right to his face inside his own holy temple. Do you think that is a spotless and irreprehensible way to observe our King Jesus Christ’s commandments? The quality of worship occurring inside of God’s temple has certainly deteriorated. It is no wonder that in Revelation Chapter 11 it says; “Get up and measure the temple [sanctuary] of God and the altar and those worshipping in it” Revelation 11:1 And a reed like a rod was given me as he said: “Get up and measure the temple sanctuary of God and the altar and those worshiping in it”.
During the Lord’s Day those who are worshipping in the temple are Jehovah’s Witnesses who have allowed ~ 67 ~
-Convincing Evidence-
themselves to be used by Satan to taunt Jehovah right to his very face. The reader should consider as he reaches towards the end of this book whether the temple sanctuary of God and those who are worshipping in it have been measured in these very pages. Has this bible prophecy now been satisfied? The scripture which describes the “catching sight of the disgusting thing” also mentions that it causes desolation. Matthew 24:15 “Therefore, when YOU catch sight of the disgusting thing that causes desolation, as spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in a holy place, (let the reader use discernment,) Desolation 1. The act or an instance of desolating. 2. The state of being desolate. 3. Devastation; ruin: 4. a. The state of being abandoned or forsaken; loneliness b. Wretchedness; misery.
The consequences for the transgressions of the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses and its Watchtower Bible and Tract Society should now be understood by the discerning reader. These scriptures leave no doubt that the consequences will be extremely severe! ~ 68 ~

Observe the commandments
I
f you are a loyal anointed chosen one, what can you expect if you continue exposing Satan’s Unrighteous Deceptions and persist in properly observing Jesus Christ’s commandments in a spotless and irreprehensible way? Revelation Chapter 12 explains the consequences of discovering the truth in the Internet wilderness and exposing Satan and his weeds: Revelation 12:17 “And the Dragon grew wrathful at the woman and went off to wage war with the remaining ones of her seed, who observe the commandments of God and have the work of bearing witness to Jesus.
Please carefully notice in the above scripture that it is a remnant of the seed, only a remnant of the anointed chosen ones who are observing the commandments of God at the very conclusion of the system of things. This scripture therefore implies that the reverse must also be true. The majority of anointed chosen ones would be disobeying God’s commandments when the end arrives. The discerning reader should realize that what the faithful ones learn in the Internet Wilderness is that God’s commandments are not being carefully observed. It is when this is learned and revealed that Satan grows wrathful. Satan is wrathful because he now realizes that his unrighteous deception has been exposed and so he will soon be conquered just as prophesied in the bible. ~ 69 ~
-Convincing Evidence-
Rejoice and leap for joy!
A
loyal anointed one who makes Satan’s deceptions evident inside a congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses can expect to be disfellowshipped. A formal announcement will be made in front of his hometown congregation that; “[Name of person] is no longer one of Jehovah’s Witnesses”. Persecution for Jesus Christ’s namesake is something the bible assures us will happen to those who continue to remain loyal to their king and his commandments. That Jehovah’s Witnesses have been persecuted for Jehovah’s namesake is something that would be hard to argue however, it would be very difficult to find one of Jehovah’s Witnesses persecuted for Jesus Christ’s namesake, ………….until now! A loyal anointed one will also get much comfort after recognizing their disfellowshipping partially fulfils a bible prophecy and promises a more glorious fulfillment to come. Romans 9:26 “And in the place [Kingdom Hall] where it was said to them, “You are not my people”, [[Name of person] is no longer one of Jehovah‟s Witnesses] there they will be called „Sons of the living God‟.
For exposing Satan’s Unrighteous Deception and the operation of error their spiritual brothers insist on ~ 70 ~
-Concerning Sin, Righteousness and Judgement-
continuing, loyal ones are excluded from the kingdom and hated. They are being spiritually beaten by their drunken fellow slaves because they give the words and commandments of Jehovah and his appointed King Jesus Christ, their proper regard. The loyal brothers are excluded and hated because the truths they speak expose the evil slave’s nakedness in such a way that people can look upon their shamefulness. Rev 16:15 Isaiah also wrote a comforting end time prophecy which is similar to the one mentioned by the Apostle Paul in Romans 9:26 quoted above. Isaiah 66:5 “Hear the word of Jehovah you men who are trembling at his word [commandments]: Your brothers that are hating you, that are excluding you by reason of my name, [[Name of person] is no longer one of Jehovah‟s Witnesses] said, “May Jehovah be glorified” He must also appear with rejoicing on your part, and they are the ones that will be put to shame”.
Please very carefully contemplate the above scripture. Righteous men will be excluded from the company of their unrighteous brothers during the time of the end. These unrighteous brothers will believe they are glorifying Jehovah however; they will be surprised and shamed when they discover they were in fact being held captive by Satan’s Unrighteous Deception. Also notice they will exclude the righteous brothers by reason of God’s actual name, Jehovah. ~ 71 ~
-Convincing Evidence-
During the Lord’s Day, this time of the end there is no other religion that uses God’s name in such a way. The official procedure can be found in the fourth paragraph on page 154 of the “Organized To Do Jehovah’s Will” book as follows: “When it is necessary to disfellowship an unrepentant wrongdoer from the congregation, a brief announcement is made, simply stating: “[Name of person] is no longer one of Jehovah’s Witnesses”
Of course an anointed one who takes a stand for our King Jesus Christ has no need to be repentant! Now please consider that the book; “Organized To Do Jehovah’s Will” was published in the year 2005. This form of disfellowshipping which echoes the very end time prophecies found in the bible has only just recently become a Jehovah’s Witness procedure. Is there any other Christian Religion in existence worldwide that has a procedure which excludes people from their midst by reason of God’s actual name, Jehovah? A righteous Christian should agree that such a procedure belongs only to Jehovah’s Witnesses and so this end time prophecy cannot be fulfilled through any other religion! The stage is now set for Jesus Christ to arrive and find the faithful and discreet slave giving his domestics their food at the proper time. This will happen while they are being spiritually beaten and excluded by their evil brothers. Only after Jesus Christ arrives can the true faithful and discreet ~ 72 ~
-Concerning Sin, Righteousness and Judgement-
slave be appointed over their belongings. The “food at the proper time” is contained in these very pages. If you are a loyal chosen anointed one yourself then please consider that Jesus Christ’s question in Matthew Chapter 24 and verse 45 now profoundly affects you. Will you participate in copying; distributing and helping others understand the importance of the words written in these pages? Matthew 24:45-47 “Who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom the master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time? 46 Happy is that slave if his master on arriving finds him doing so. 47 Truly I say to you. He will appoint him over all his belongings.”
Does the discerning reader see why there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when the evil brothers finally realize their error and suffer the consequence?

Get out of her!
W
hen first century Christians saw the disgusting thing standing in a holy place they fled. They abandoned their previous loyalty to the City of Jerusalem and the temple it contained in both a literal and spiritual sense. This first century abandonment or apostasy is what saved their lives. The Merriam Webster Dictionary Defines apostasy as: Main Entry: apos·ta·sy Pronunciation: &-'päs-t&-sE Function: noun Inflected Form(s): plural -sies Etymology: Middle English apostasie, from Late Latin apostasia, from Greek, literally, revolt, from aphistasthai to revolt, from apo- + histasthai to stand -- more at STAND 1: renunciation of a religious faith
2 : abandonment of a previous loyalty
A true Christian who has read and understood the words written on these pages will have seen the modern day “disgusting thing standing in a holy place”. Now is the time to abandon your loyalty to the so called “God’s spirit directed organization” which receives undeserved veneration from your baptismal vows. If you are a true Christian loyal to your King Jesus Christ, now is the time to heed the words cried out in Revelation: Revelation 18:4 “Get out of her my people, if you do not want to share with her in her sins, and if you do not want to receive part of her plagues”
~ 75 ~
-Convincing Evidence-
With the man of lawlessness revealed and the disgusting thing seen standing in a holy place, now is the proper time to flee! If this is correctly understood then the following scriptural requirement mentioned in 2 Thessalonians is met. Please carefully contemplate: 2 Thessalonians 2:3 Let no one seduce YOU in any manner, because it will not come unless the apostasy comes first and the man of lawlessness gets revealed, the son of destruction.
Note that in some bibles the words “falling away” replaces the word apostasy. So what event is it that won’t come unless the apostasy comes and the man of lawlessness is revealed? 2 Thessalonians 2:1 However, brothers, respecting the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him,
The gathering together of the chosen ones! The world stage is now set for the gathering to happen as mentioned by our King Jesus Christ himself in Matthew Chapter 24: Matthew 24:30 And then the sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in lamentation, and they will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great ~ 76 ~
-Concerning Sin, Righteousness and Judgement-
glory. 31 And he will send forth his angels with a great trumpet sound, and they will gather his chosen ones together from the four winds.
In accord with the statement made by Jesus Christ himself the discerning reader should be carefully considering “who really is the faithful and discreet slave” who did not fall asleep and kept on the watch and so gave them their food at the proper time. In the Old Testament is a very interesting scripture which almost exactly parallels the scripture in Revelation Chapter 18 verse 4. It admonishes true Christians to “get out of the midst of her, O my people”. The reader should spend much time contemplating this scripture. When ancient Babylon was in earlier times overcome by the Persians, Jehovah’s people did not leave Babylon until well after the Babylonians were conquered. This scripture therefore has a future fulfillment on the same Babylon as the one which exists during the conclusion of this system of things mentioned in the book of Revelation. Babylon the Great. Jeremiah 51:45 “Get out of the midst of her, O my people, and provide each one his soul with escape from the burning anger of Jehovah. 46 Or otherwise YOUR heart will be timid, and YOU will become afraid because of the report that is to be heard in the land. And in one year the report will actually come, and after it in another year there will be the report and violence in the earth and ruler against ruler. ~ 77 ~
-Convincing Evidence-
Therefore, look! there are days coming, and I will turn my attention upon the graven images of Babylon; and all her own land will become ashamed, and all her own slain ones will fall in the midst of her. 47
The words written on these pages measure the temple sanctuary of God and the altar and those worshipping in it. It truly does provide “the report” exposing many transgressions which should bring a righteous Christian to shame. If the reader becomes timid however, they may hesitate to leave. You can be certain that Satan will use his weeds to very cleverly manipulate all the timid ones. They might continue to be carried away by his flood of published lies and continue being held captive by his very crafty and Unrighteous Deceptions. The errors reported within these pages might leave a true Christian feeling trapped and no longer worthy. This is exactly how Satan would like them to feel. An earlier scripture however, shows that Jehovah with great compassion understands the very uncomfortable predicament that true Christians now confront as the very conclusion of this system of things quickly approaches: Jeremiah 51:5 “For Israel and Judah are not widowed from their God, from Jehovah of armies. For the land of those has been full of guilt from the standpoint of the Holy One of Israel. “FLEE out of the midst of Babylon, and provide escape each one for his own soul. Do not be rendered inanimate through her error. For it is the time of vengeance belonging to Jehovah. There is treatment that he is paying back to her. ~ 78 ~

A life saving decision
T
he scriptures in the bible really do give enough information that we can find an extraordinary amount of convincing evidences in our recent history which can be used to make informed and scriptural decisions. These decisions should help save ourselves and all those who do not refrain from listening. In regards to Satan and his weeds, “listening” is a vital admonishment: Matthew 13:40 Therefore, just as the weeds are collected and burned with fire, so it will be in the conclusion of the system of things. 41 The Son of man will send forth his angels, and they will collect out from his kingdom all things that cause stumbling and persons who are doing lawlessness, 42 and they will pitch them into the fiery furnace. There is where [their] weeping and the gnashing of [their] teeth will be. 43 At that time the righteous ones will shine as brightly as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Let him that has ears listen.
Present day Christians now face the exact same decision their first century counterparts had to make in order to save their own lives. More than 6 million Jehovah’s Witnesses live in a city which has been corrupted just as Jerusalem was in the first century. This city, “Babylon the Great” also contains the holy place which has now been profaned by a disgusting thing just as the temple in the city of Jerusalem was also profaned. Will many heed Jesus ~ 79 ~

Christ’s warning and flee from Babylon the Great or will it also be as in the first century and only a special few will make the correct decision?

I have a baptism!
Y
ou need to decide which baptism you will be loyal to. Your words and actions after reading this will manifest whether you are loyal to the baptism which Jesus Christ has commanded or to the one which Satan and his weeds have invented. Our King Jesus Christ leaves no doubt that the arrival of this time when Christians would be required to make a decision in regard to his baptism is a situation he has been longing for: Luke 12:49 “I came to start a fire on the earth, and what more is there for me to wish if it has already been lighted? 50 Indeed, I have a baptism with which to be baptized, and how I am being distressed until it is finished!
Making this decision will not result in a peaceful circumstance inside the congregations of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Some family members may choose to remain loyal to Satan’s invented baptism while another close family member chooses to be loyal to Jesus Christ and the baptism he commanded. The scripture in Luke Chapter 12 goes on to describe divisions in regard to his baptism. Jesus Christ himself is looking forward to see and has for a long time waited for these divisions to happen: Luke 12:51 Do YOU imagine I came to give peace on the earth? No, indeed, I tell YOU, but rather ~ 81 ~
-Convincing Evidence-
division. For from now on there will be five in one house divided, three against two and two against three. They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against [her] mother, mother-in-law against [her] daughterin-law and daughter-in-law against [her] mother-in-law.”
That a large separation would occur in regard to the baptism which Jesus Christ commanded is also attested to by John the Baptist who when questioned said: Matthew 3:11 I, for my part, baptize YOU with water because of YOUR repentance; but the one coming after me is stronger than I am, whose sandals I am not fit to take off. That one will baptize YOU people with Holy Spirit and with fire. His winnowing shovel is in his hand, and he will completely clean up his threshing floor, and will gather his wheat into the storehouse, but the chaff he will burn up with fire that cannot be put out.”
Please note in the scripture above that Jesus Christ’s baptism includes Holy Spirit. It is this part of Jesus Christ’s baptism which has been replaced by an unscriptural name; “God’s spirit directed Organization”. Notice also that the alternative to baptism with Holy Spirit is a baptism with fire; “fire that cannot be put out”. If the discerning reader is seeing through Satan’s Unrighteous Deception and understanding the dangers ~ 82 ~

presented then he should now be desperate to discuss them with the people he loves, his family and companions. These discussions will expose his true loyalty as well as theirs. The scriptures give assurance that Jehovah himself will be closely listening to what you have to say. Malachi 3:16-18 At that time those in fear of Jehovah spoke with one another, each one with his companion, and Jehovah kept paying attention and listening. And a book of remembrance began to be written up before him for those in fear of Jehovah and for those thinking upon his name. 17 “And they will certainly become mine,” Jehovah of armies has said, “at the day when I am producing a special property. And I will show compassion upon them, just as a man shows compassion upon his son who is serving him. 18 And YOU people will again certainly see [the distinction] between a righteous one and a wicked one, between one serving God and one who has not served him.”
When faced with the decision to accept the baptism Jesus Christ commanded or the one which Satan and his weeds invented the distinction between a righteous one and a wicked one will become immediately obvious. The decision will separate the goats from the sheep. Please recognize that when a person makes a decision to accept and obey the baptism which our King Jesus Christ commanded it will provide overwhelming evidence the ~ 83 ~

same person wants Jesus Christ to be their King. This is especially true as the person will also understand that taking a stand for Jesus Christ in this way will make them objects of persecution from Satan and his weeds. The persecution will happen right inside his own congregation at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses and also from his own family and friends. People will lyingly say all sorts of wicked things about him or her for taking this stand and manifesting their loyalty to Jesus Christ. Your loyalty will prove that you want Jesus Christ to be your king. This is especially important when you consider what Jesus Christ said about those who do not want him to be their king and prove this by not obeying him or his baptismal commandments. Here is that Jesus Christ said about those who do not want him to be their King: Luke 19:27 “Moreover, these enemies of mine that did not want me to become king over them BRING here and slaughter them before me.‟”
Those who provide an indication they do not want him to be their king by disobeying his commandments will be killed. You now have convincing evidence concerning sin and concerning righteousness and concerning judgment. Perhaps some congregations will not read this or will remain complacent after reading it. They will receive these words with indifference, remaining “luke warm” in regards ~ 84 ~
-Concerning Sin, Righteousness and Judgement-
to the issue of Jesus Christ’s Sovereignty. The scriptures do assure us however, that after Babylon the Great is given the judgment it deserves the kingdom will then also give the proper glory to our almighty God, Jehovah. Revelation 11:13 “and the rest became frightened and gave glory to the God of Heaven.”
Jesus said we would be given truths which are difficult to bear. If we find a new truth difficult to bear it is usually because it reveals that what we were previously convinced to believe is not true. Your words and actions after reading this will stand as testimony which measures how much you really love “the truth”. With the “man of lawlessness” revealed your love of the real truth is now essential to your survival. The scripture in 2nd Thessalonians shows that it is your love of the real truth which is now being measured in regard to this same man of lawlessness: 2nd Thessalonians 2:9-10 But the lawless one‟s presence is according to the operation of Satan with every powerful work and lying signs and portents 10 and with every unrighteous deception for those who are perishing, as a retribution because they did not accept the love of the truth that they might be saved.
It is your love of the truth that will save you! ~ 85 ~

The Wild Beast
A
fter realizing the words written on these pages are true the discerning reader will understand that the kingdom has gone wild. It has turned into a wild beast. If Satan and his weeds were to overcome God’s True Kingdom as the scriptures in the gospels suggest, and yet worship was still continuing, would it still be true worship or would the subjects of this kingdom now be indirectly worshipping Satan? Revelation 13:4 And they worshiped the dragon because it gave the authority to the wild beast, and they worshiped the wild beast with the words: “Who is like the wild beast, and who can do battle with it?”
If the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society is really Satan’s Wild Beast then our recent history and bible scriptures should provide evidence of this. If the kingdom has really gone wild then we should be able to see a link to the many features described in the Book of Revelation in regard to this same wild beast. The following lists some features we should be keeping on the watch for: Have a link to a seven headed wild beast. One of those heads would have received a death blow and healed. ~ 86 ~
-Concerning Sin, Righteousness and Judgement-
There would be blasphemous names found amongst the seven heads. The modern day manifestation of the wild beast would contain 10 kings. Those 10 kings would not yet have a kingdom. Those 10 kings would give away their power to the wild beast. Those 10 kings would rule for a short while with the wild beast. Those same 10 kings would somehow battle with Jesus Christ. Those same 10 kings would also battle with the true sons of the kingdom. Have a name which is a “man’s number”. That number must somehow represent 666 People are deceived into getting marked with this number. The mark is either on the forehead or right hand Once they are marked they are then able to “buy and sell”. Blaspheme God’s name and residence.

Seven headed wild beast

n the bible, beasts symbolize kingdoms or organizations as revealed in the book of Daniel: Daniel 8:20 “The ram that you saw possessing the two horns [stands for] the kings of Me´di·a and Persia. Daniel 8:17 “„As for these huge beasts, because they are four, there are four kings that will stand up from the earth.
If beasts represent Kingdoms and the seven headed wild beast of Revelation really does represent God’s kingdom after it has been undermined by Satan and his weeds then is there any bible scripture which, describes God’s kingdom separated into 7 different parts?
Yes! Revelation 1:20 As for the sacred secret of the seven stars that you saw upon my right hand, and [of] the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars mean [the] angels of the seven congregations, and the seven lampstands mean seven congregations.
Do you see in the above how very skillfully the one who inspired the writing of this scripture is communicating to ~ 89 ~

the reader how important the number seven is in regards to the sacred secret? If this is true then each of the seven heads of the Wild Beast are named: 1. “To the angel of the congregation in Eph´e·sus. 2. “And to the angel of the congregation in Smyr´na. 3. “And to the angel of the congregation in Per´ga·mum. 4. “And to the angel of the congregation in Thy·a·ti´ra. 5. “And to the angel of the congregation in Sar´dis. 6. "And to the angel of the congregation in Philadelphia. 7. “And to the angel of the congregation in La·o·di·ce´a. As you continue to read this book the sacred secret of the seven congregations should begin to become more apparent. It would be a good idea to spend some time contemplating this. Is it coincidence that God’s Kingdom is described as being separated into seven parts while in the same Book of Revelation the wild beast is also separated into seven? If this is true then the reader should agree this carefully hidden secret really has been very cleverly disguised within the same pages of the Book of Revelation!

e now really do have a seven headed wild beast however, if this is really the same wild beast mentioned in Revelation Chapter 13 then one of its heads must have been slaughtered and yet survived its death-stroke. Revelation 13:4
And I saw one of its heads as though slaughtered to death, but its death-stroke got healed,
Is there any evidence in the bible indicating that one of the seven congregations or heads suffers a death-stroke? It is the congregation of Sardis! Revelation 3:1
“And to the angel of the congregation in Sar´dis write: These are the things that he says who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars, „I know your deeds, that you have the name that you are alive, but you are dead. 2 Become watchful, and strengthen the things remaining that were ready to die.
The congregation of Sardis was; “as though slaughtered to death, but its death-stroke got healed.” The first concern is satisfied. If the seven congregations is the same as the seven headed wild beast then one of the seven congregations really did suffer a death stroke and yet was given a chance to strengthen (heal) itself. So there is one similarity among many yet to be explained. Coincidence? ~ 92 ~

Blasphemous Names
I
f the seven congregations mentioned at the beginning of the Book of Revelation are the same as the seven headed wild beast of Revelation Chapter 13 then we should be able to find; “upon its heads blasphemous names”. Please consider the following scriptures: Eph´e·sus Still, you do have this, that you hate the deeds of the sect of Nic·o·la´us. Per´ga·mum „I know where you are dwelling, that is, where the throne of Satan is you have there those holding fast the teaching of Ba´laam, who went teaching Ba´lak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols and to commit fornication. you, also, have those holding fast the teaching of the sect of Nic·o·la´us Thy·a·ti´ra you tolerate that woman Jez´e·bel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and misleads my slaves to commit fornication and to eat things sacrificed to idols. Philadelphia those from the synagogue of Satan who say they are Jews, and yet they are not but are lying.
Please contemplate the bolded words in the scriptures quoted above. Is the reader able to discern any blasphemous names amongst the seven congregations? Is it coincidence that blasphemous names really are found amongst the congregations of God’s True Kingdom? ~ 93 ~

Revelation 13:6 And it opened its mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name and his residence, even those residing in heaven.
If the reader has contemplated the words written in the preceding pages they will already have discerned how Jesus Christ’s (residing in heaven) commandment has been undermined in such a disgusting way that Satan uses the subjects of God’s own kingdom to taunt (blaspheme) Jehovah (his name) to his very face right inside his own temple (his residence). Coincidence?
"and the ten horns that you saw mean ten kings" ~ 94 ~
-Concerning Sin, Righteousness and Judgement-
Kings without a kingdom
I
n the book of Revelation Chapter 17 it mentions that the ten horns represent ten kings who do not yet have a kingdom. Revelation 17:12 “And the ten horns that you saw mean ten kings, who have not yet received a kingdom, but they do receive authority as kings one hour with the wild beast. 13 These have one thought, and so they give their power and authority to the wild beast.
How can you be a king and yet not have received a kingdom? In the world this would be a very confusing and unusual circumstance, an anomaly, however, from a spiritual standpoint there really are many kings who have still yet to receive their kingdom. Please consider what the Apostle Paul tells the Corinthians: 1 Corinthian 4:1 YOU men already have YOUR fill, do YOU? YOU are rich already, are YOU? YOU have begun ruling as kings without us, have YOU? And I wish indeed that YOU had begun ruling as kings, that we also might rule with YOU as kings.
In the scripture above the Apostle Paul is addressing kings who have not yet received a kingdom. Only in the scriptures does such a mysterious saying hold true as this would not happen in pagan circumstances. ~ 95 ~
-Convincing Evidence-
At the very start of the book of Revelation the Apostle John also provides evidence that he is himself a king without a kingdom and counts himself among other kings without a kingdom. Consider his statement in this short verse: Revelation 1:6 To him that loves us and that loosed us from our sins by means of his own blood— 6 and he made us to be a kingdom, priests to his God and Father—yes, to him be the glory and the might forever. Amen.
Notice in the scripture above the Apostle John claiming he is “to be a kingdom”. Suggesting that the kingdom he is to be a joint ruler of has not yet been fully established. The introductory verses to the book of Revelation quickly establishes that kings have existed who recognize they do not yet have a kingdom to rule. They are aware however, that they are in line to be kings who will rule over it once the kingdom is manifested. The reader should recognize that during this time of the end anointed chosen ones are now also walking the earth. These same anointed chosen ones share the same hope as the Apostle John to participate in the rule of God`s Kingdom. It is normally accepted that the beginning words of a book set up the entire theme which is to follow. The entire Book of Revelation therefore must be written for the benefit of these kings who do not yet have a kingdom. Any further mention of kings without a kingdom throughout the entire book must also be in reference to this same esoteric group of anointed kings. The very same group to which the ~ 96 ~
-Concerning Sin, Righteousness and Judgement-
Apostle John himself belongs. That ten kings have not yet received a kingdom is therefore a straightforward biblical end time reality and not some mysterious pagan anomaly as most people have been conditioned to believe. So in our recent history are (or were) there ten prominent anointed kings who really have not yet been appointed over their belongings and who exist inside of the kingdom? Please notice the following list of anointed Governing Body member’s current as of January in the year 2004:
1 –John Barr 2 - Carey Barber 3 - Samuel Herd 4 - Theodore Jaracz 5 - Steven Lett 6 - Gerrit Lösch 7 - Guy Pierce 8 - Albert Schroeder 9 - David Splane 10 - Daniel Sydlik If these are the same ten Kings mentioned in the book of Revelation then they must also have somehow given their power and authority to the wild beast. Revelation 17:12 These have one thought, and so they give their power and authority to the wild beast. ~ 97 ~
-Convincing Evidence-
These 10 kings did just exactly as the scripture described in the year 2000 during the month of October. Please read and carefully consider the following quote from the Washington Post newspaper on Monday, Oct. 9, 2000:
“The Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania, as the group is officially known, had been run by a so-called Governing Body. Now, religious and administrative duties will be divided, with three newly formed corporations running the group's U.S. operations”
--
Washington Post Newspaper Oct 9, 2000 –
Some of these Kings have since died. It is therefore very true that they will rule for only a short time, “one hour with the wild beast.” They have given away both their religious and administrative duties to three corporations. Is it not the duty of kings to administer and run their own kingdom especially when they are in line to inherit it? This is especially a concern regarding religious duties. These kings are being tested as regards their ability to take care of and show appreciation for their inherited rights as anointed chosen ones. These ten men are in line for what could have been an extraordinary blessing. They have been anointed as chosen ones to receive the ability to rule the earth with ~ 98 ~
-Concerning Sin, Righteousness and Judgement-
Jesus Christ. It is their anointing which helps them to recognize this. How do you think Jesus Christ will regard them if they have now given away their power to some corporations? Does this show an appreciation for their anointed condition or does it betray an indifference to the importance of Jehovah’s spiritual blessings. Was Esau their antitype? Please now carefully examine the Apostle Paul’s admonishment to the Hebrews: Hebrew 12:16-17 “That there may be no fornicator nor anyone not appreciating sacred things, like Esau, who in exchange for one meal gave away his rights as first-born. For you know that afterward also when he wanted to inherit the blessing he was rejected, for, although he earnestly sought a change of mind with tears, he found no place for it.”
Esau gave away his inherited rights for a mere bowl of soup! He showed no appreciation for sacred things! These ten kings have also given away their inherited rights. How can kings be expected to rule a kingdom if they give away their power to rule? After he was rejected Esau wept with tears! Do you now see why there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when Jesus Christ returns? Do you now see why the kingdom has gone wild and will be desolated? Please continue contemplating whether these accumulating discernments are just an incredibly overwhelming coincidence or ……………….. truths! ~ 99 ~

A man’s number
T
he wild beast also has a name which can represent a number. This can be calculated with intelligence as explained in the following scripture:
Revelation 13:16-18 And it puts under compulsion all persons, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the slaves, that they should give these a mark in their right hand or upon their forehead, 17 and that nobody might be able to buy or sell except a person having the mark, the name of the wild beast or the number of its name. 18 Here is where wisdom comes in: Let the one that has intelligence calculate the number of the wild beast, for it is a man‟s number; and its number is six hundred and sixty-six.
As already discussed in previous pages newly interested ones are compelled to make a baptismal vow to an additional name beyond those commanded by Jesus Christ. So what is the extra name given in the baptismal vows made by Jehovah’s Witnesses? “God’s Spirit Directed Organization”
An organization requires committees arranged in an administrative structure with assigned supervisory duties. These committees are usually filled with a specific number of men, ……………. a man’s number! Coincidence? ~ 100 ~
-Concerning Sin, Righteousness and Judgement-
In order to verify the number we only need to understand how “God’s spirit directed organization”, is organized! This is explained on page 109 of the “Jehovah’s Witnesses, Proclaimers of God’s Kingdom” book where it describes; “the most significant organizational readjustments in the modern day history of Jehovah’s Witnesses.” A facsimile of page 109 can be found on a following page.
In the second paragraph it says; “Starting with 1st January 1976 all the activities of the Watchtower Society and of all the congregations of Jehovah’s Witnesses in the entire world have entered under the supervision of six administrative committees of the government corps.”
This is the first six………….. 6
Then, we read on: “In harmony with that arrangement, on February 1, 1976 changes had been put into effect in all branch offices of the Society around the earth.”
This is the second six………….. 6

There is also another committee which handles all of the problems in local congregations with the following functions and responsibilities:

This is the third six………….. 6
Coincidence?
~ 102 ~
-Concerning Sin, Righteousness and Judgement-
Page 109 “Jehovah’s Witnesses Proclaimers of God’s Kingdom” ~ 103 ~
-Convincing Evidence-
So to recap, the name of the wild beast is: “God’s Spirit directed Organization”
Its number is a man’s number. The number of men used to organize “God’s spirit directed Organization”. The number of its name is:
666
Some may contend that this number is 6 and 6 and 6 and not six hundred and sixty six. The following scripture dealing with ancient Israel’s organization should help reconcile any concern: Deuteronomy 1:15 So I took the heads of YOUR tribes, men wise and experienced, and put them as heads over YOU, chiefs of thousands and chiefs of hundreds and chiefs of fifties and chiefs of tens and officers of YOUR tribes.
This calculation was discerned by a faithful anointed and loyal chosen one named Sas Gavril who lives in Romania. Some of his writings have been translated from Romanian into English and are available on the Internet at the following url: http://putinthesickle.blogspot.com/ ~ 104 ~
-Concerning Sin, Righteousness and Judgement-
The words on these pages however, are being written and distributed from Canada. Therefore Satan’s Unrighteous Deception is being exposed by two reports. One coming from Canada (the north) and another from Romania (the sunrising). You can be certain these two reports will be very disturbing for Satan and the weeds he has planted inside of the Kingdom: Daniel 11:44 “But there will be reports that will disturb him, out of the sunrising and out of the north, and he will certainly go forth in a great rage in order to annihilate and to devote many to destruction.
These two reports are what signify the start of the “war of the great day of God the Almighty”. The ones who need to be most concerned about their desolation are all of those kings without a kingdom who are presently walking upon this earth. Recent Jehovah’s Witness publications report that approximately 9000 of these kings have identified their hope by partaking at the memorial celebrations held in Kingdom Halls throughout the world. These are the ones who are the target of Satan’s great rage as the end of the world approaches. The present conditions inside of what was once God’s True Kingdom reveals that Satan’s annihilation is having great success. Satan really is devoting many (not all) to destruction! The war of the great day of God the almighty is well underway. That God will be the eventual victor is evidenced by those who can see through Satan’s Unrighteous Deception and use the words of their witness to save some of the others. ~ 105 ~

The mark of the beast
S
o how does a person get the “mark of the beast”? Please consider the following scripture:
Revelation 13:16-17 And it puts under compulsion all persons, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the slaves, that they should give these a mark in their right hand or upon their forehead, 17 and that nobody might be able to buy or sell except a person having the mark, the name of the wild beast or the number of its name.
If the mark of the wild beast has to do with its name then how does someone get marked by its name? The mark is received through baptism which compels the interested one to make a vow of loyalty, an act of veneration to the name of the wild beast: “God’s Spirit Directed Organization”. Only after this mark is received can the one with the mark begin to have bible studies through the “house to house ministry” and sell Satan’s Unrighteous Deception in order to buy more people with it. Others who perhaps were baptized prior to the change of baptismal vows still have the mark as they are part of the organization (name) and so are included in the number. The number of its name! Some readers may still be conditioned to think the buying and selling has to do with the everyday mundane ~ 106 ~
-Concerning Sin, Righteousness and Judgement-
purchases that people have to make, such as groceries. If this is the case then please consider the following scripture: Zechariah 11:5 “This is what Jehovah my God has said, „Shepherd the flock [meant] for the killing, 5 the buyers of which proceed to kill [them] although they are not held guilty. And those who are selling them say: “May Jehovah be blessed, while I shall gain riches.” And their own shepherds do not show any compassion upon them.‟
The buying and selling is occurring to God’s own flock and being condoned by shepherds (weeds) who have no compassion. The buying and selling being referred to in Zechariah Chapter 11 is in regard to people, not groceries! Also consider that it does not matter whether the person is small or great, rich or poor, free or slave. They cannot start a Jehovah’s Witness Bible Study until they are baptized and receive the mark of the wild beast. Only then are they considered to be a part of Gods Spirit Directed Organization and able to fully associate with other Jehovah’s Witnesses while participating in their religious and social activities.

Forehead or Right Hand
W
hy is the mark on their forehead or in their right hand and how does this have anything to do with a Jehovah’s Witness baptism? It does seem to indicate some randomness between whether the mark is received in the right hand or forehead. What would determine where this mark is received? Whatever the cause, it must leave the person in some predicament where the mark is randomly received and yet can only be in either one of two places on a person’s actual body. This predicament must also have something directly to do with baptism if it is to be something to do with the number or name of the wild beast, God’s Spirit Directed Organization. Also consider that according to scripture a person is to be deceived into getting this mark. The mark of the wild beast cannot therefore be a literal or visible mark on the forehead or right hand otherwise the person would be well aware of receiving the mark! Please consider that another very important Jehovah’s Witness doctrine exists in regard to baptism which has a great deal to do with the receiving of this mark. Jehovah’s Witnesses insist that in order for a baptism to be valid the candidate’s body must be completely immersed under the water! If the candidate’s body is not completely immersed then those in attendance may not recognize their baptism as being valid. One of the most important functions of the attendant who is in the water and assisting with the baptism is to make fully certain that the very last parts of a baptismal candidate’s body are completely immersed ~ 108 ~
-Concerning Sin, Righteousness and Judgement-
under the water. Not until the very last parts of their body are under the water can the baptism be valid and the candidates receive the mark of the beast. So depending on how a candidate either leans forward or backward it is either the persons forehead or their right hand which goes under the water last and the baptism ceremony is now thoroughly completed. Please spend some time at a baptismal ceremony carefully watching the proceedings and convincing yourself the truth of this statement. A search on the Internet and youtube.com should provide video examples of baptisms which you could immediately examine. Is it coincidence that either a person’s right hand or forehead is last to go under the water? Is it coincidence that until this happens a person is not able to have a Jehovah’s Witness bible study which they initiate by selling Satan’s Unrighteous Deception from door to door and buy more people with it? Has the reader reached the point where the sum total of all these coincidences is far too overwhelming to ignore? Please consider the unlikelihood of these discernments being manufactured by the writer. Spend time wondering at how all the things being written in this book fall so easily in to place while being fully supported by scripture and real events happening in our own recent history! How does a person get rid of the mark of the beast? The best way to get rid of the mark is to begin exposing Satan’s Unrighteous Deception inside a congregation of ~ 109 ~
-Convincing Evidence-
Jehovah’s Witnesses. A person loyal to Jesus Christ will eventually be invited to a Judicial Committee Hearing where they can request a baptism according to the way Jesus Christ commanded! They will likely be asked if they renounce their Jehovah’s Witness Baptism. If you do this then you will be disfellowshipped. An announcement will be made in front of your hometown congregation that you are no longer one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. The wild beast itself will have removed the mark! You will be persecuted and lyingly spoken about by your congregation, family and friends for taking this stand. Jesus Christ is coming soon with his angels to judge every person in the world. When you finally stand in front of Jesus Christ for your personal judgment however, consider what you will now say to him in your own defense. Your loyalty to the king of the entire universe will have been fully tested and proven. You will be able to stand in front of him with no shame having suffered a great deal for taking a stand in his name!
~ 110 ~
-Concerning Sin, Righteousness and Judgement-
Outside the Camp When a person is disfellowshipped for their loyalty to Jesus Christ they will no longer be accepted inside the Jehovah’s Witness Organization. This can be a very uncomfortable circumstance for any righteous person. They will no longer be able to associate with their family and former friends and will instead bear much reproach from them. They will be considered as “outside the camp”. This is the same predicament that first century Christians found themselves in who abandoned the corrupted City of Jerusalem and the temple inside which had been profaned. The Apostle Paul explained this circumstance to the Hebrews. This scripture should also provide a great deal of comfort for such a person who has displayed his or her loyalty during this time of the end: Hebrews 13:12-14 Hence Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered outside the gate. 13 Let us, then, go forth to him outside the camp, bearing the reproach he bore, 14 for we do not have here a city that continues, but we are earnestly seeking the one to come.
After being disfellowshipped your loyalty to Jesus Christ will prove that you are earnestly seeking the kingdom which you should now realize is to come very shortly! These discernments have been available for some time now and so the reader should understand that the time is quickly running out! ~ 111 ~

The Eighth King
I
t is in the book of Revelation Chapter 17 where we find there is an eighth king who springs from the seven heads of the wild beast: Revelation 17:11 And the wild beast that was but is not, it is also itself an eighth [king], but springs from the seven, and it goes off into destruction.
Is there another king described in amongst the seven congregations at the beginning of the book of Revelation? Please carefully consider whose throne is mentioned in the following scripture: Revelation 2:13 „I know where you are dwelling, that is, where the throne of Satan is; and yet you keep on holding fast my name, and you did not deny your faith in me even in the days of An´ti·pas, my witness, the faithful one, who was killed by YOUR side, where Satan is dwelling.
It is in the scripture regarding the congregation of Per´ga·mum that we find a throne. So the eighth king really does spring from within the seven heads. The eighth king is Satan. Certainly after reading through these pages and considering how successful his unrighteous deception has been it should be no surprise that the kingdom has now been so thoroughly undermined that it is actually being ruled by Satan! ~ 112 ~
-Concerning Sin, Righteousness and Judgement-
The book of Revelation later describes how Satan goes off into destruction. Revelation 20:10 And the Devil who was misleading them was hurled into the lake of fire and sulphur
Those who are subjects of the kingdom are living right in the serpents face. These are the ones who the Devil is misleading. The eighth king truly does have a fierce countenance, a serpent’s face. When a Jehovah’s Witness attends one of the many meetings at a kingdom hall they are right in the serpents face. In the serpents face are his eyes, ears and mouth. It is while inside one of the Kingdom Halls around the world that Satan can see, listen and talk to you! Get away from the serpents face!
Let him that has ears listen! ~ 113 ~

Battle with the Lamb
T
he ten kings will battle with Jesus Christ himself as well as the called, faithful and chosen ones and yet the ten kings will be conquered.
Revelation 17:12-14 “And the ten horns that you saw mean ten kings, who have not yet received a kingdom, but they do receive authority as kings one hour with the wild beast. 13 These have one thought, and so they give their power and authority to the wild beast. 14 These will battle with the Lamb, but, because he is Lord of lords and King of kings, the Lamb will conquer them. Also, those called and chosen and faithful with him [will do so].”
As mentioned earlier in these pages the faithful and loyal called ones are exposing Satan’s Unrighteous Deceptions inside of the congregations of Jehovah’s Witnesses. For doing this they are excluded and disfellowshipped. An enormous spiritual war is presently ongoing, the war of the great day of God the almighty. How are the faithful, loyal chosen ones able to conquer the ten kings? Simply by telling the truth, witnessing to those presently being held captive by Satan’s Unrighteous Deception. This is explained in Revelation Chapter 12. Revelation 12:11 the accuser of our brothers has been hurled down, who accuses them day and night before our God! 11 And they conquered him ~ 114 ~
-Concerning Sin, Righteousness and Judgement-
because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their witnessing, and they did not love their souls even in the face of death.
If the reader has arrived here then it should now occur that the spiritual war is presently being fought in regard to them. Are the words of this witnessing having some success and will the discerning reader now be released from captivity to Satan’s Unrighteous Deception? If Satan and his weeds were able to forever deceive everyone with their unrighteous deception what a miserable world this would continue to be. Will you continue to be one of Satan’s victims as Adam and Eve were or will your love of the truth save you?

Twelve Tribes – Twelve Kings In the bible God’s Kingdom has always been divided into twelve. It started with the twelve sons of Jacob. Each of the twelve tribes had a head. The book of Revelation proves this is perpetuated to the end. That the twelve sons of Jacob would be replicated at the very conclusion of this system of things during the final part of the days is also supported in the book of Genesis: Genesis 49:1-2 Later on Jacob called his sons and said: “Gather yourselves together that I may tell YOU what will happen to YOU in the final part of the days. 2 Assemble yourselves and listen, YOU sons of Jacob, yes, listen to Israel YOUR father
There were also twelve Apostles chosen by Jesus Christ in the first century. It should not be surprising that twelve are also to be chosen as heads and leaders of the Kingdom during the final part of the days. Why are there only ten kings who do not yet have a kingdom as mentioned in Revelation Chapter 17 and not twelve? What happened to the other two kings and who are they? The two remaining kings are able to see through Satan’s Unrighteous Deception and are presently spending their time warning the others, their spiritual brothers! They are standing before their Lord Jesus Christ and obeying his commandments while at the same time witnessing to the ten kings who have been misled into gathering together in the place called Har-Magedon by an unrighteous ~ 117 ~

deception. There should be twelve standing before the Lord Jesus Christ during the final part of the days and yet there are only two! Revelation 11:3-4 And I will cause my two witnesses to prophesy a thousand two hundred and sixty days dressed in sackcloth.” 4 These are [symbolized by] the two olive trees and the two lampstands and are standing before the Lord of the earth. 3
Do you see why the ten kings or brothers who have given away their power to the wild beast will be tormented by these two witnesses for the duration of their stay on the earth? For this reason they will have the two witnesses killed while believing their deaths will alleviate the torment. They will treat their two brothers in the same way as Joseph’s brothers treated him. Please read the remainder of the verses in Genesis Chapter 49. It leaves the reader to no other conclusion than to recognize that only two of the sons of Jacob will receive extraordinary blessings during the final part of the days. The remaining ten brothers have a malediction or very mundane prospect for their futures. The men who were prophesied to be kings during the time of the end, the leaders of the twelve tribes are already here and fulfilling the prophecy written down by Moses thousands of years ago! Reflect upon another scripture which is considered by most to be a prophecy for the final part of the days. It shows how Jehovah will be angry against the shepherds and the ~ 118 ~
-Concerning Sin, Righteousness and Judgement-
goatlike leaders. He will hold them accountable. These leaders must also have had an important responsibility if there is to be an accounting by Jehovah himself. Zechariah 10:3-6 “Against the shepherds my anger has grown hot, and against the goatlike leaders I shall hold an accounting; for Jehovah of armies has turned his attention to his drove, the house of Judah, and has made them like his horse of dignity in the battle. 4 Out of him is the keyman, out of him is the supporting ruler, out of him is the battle bow; out of him goes forth every taskmaster, all together. 5 And they must become like mighty men stamping down in the mire of [the] streets in the battle. And they must get engaged in battle, for Jehovah is with them; and the riders of horses will have to experience shame. 6 And I will make the house of Judah superior, and the house of Joseph I shall save.
Observe in the scripture above how after this accounting Jehovah exalts and preserves only two leaders, Judah and Joseph! The remaining ten sons of Jacob do not survive this judgment. The remaining ten goatlike leaders are the sons of Jacob who now have a very dim prospect for their futures. These are the ones represented by the ten horns of the wild beast in the Book of Revelation. Kings who do not yet have a kingdom and yet they still give away their power to the wild beast. Through examining the scriptures against what has actually occurred does the reader now see why and how this is presently being fulfilled? ~ 119 ~
-Convincing Evidence-
Justification The words on these pages have been written for many reasons: Jehovah now has an opportunity to give an answer to the one(s) taunting him. For the sake of our King, Jesus Christ. As an obligation for one keeping on the watch to give a warning when he sees the enemy. To help with a little help chosen anointed kings who have been deceived. For the sake of all true Christians who are presently being held captive by Satan’s Unrighteous Deception. To give the world convincing evidence concerning sin and concerning righteousness and concerning judgment. To measure the temple sanctuary of God and the altar and those worshiping in it. So that the word of this witnessing might conquer Satan. Remaining silent would have suggested consent to the truly reprehensible transgressions which have been exposed through these pages. The writer of these words absolutely does not consent to these horrific situations ~ 120 ~
-Concerning Sin, Righteousness and Judgement-
which have caused God’s True Kingdom to deteriorate into such an appalling condition. It is with much mourning and dismay that these words have been written! Does the reader understand why these end time truths are being witnessed to the world by two brothers who are dressed in sackcloth? When Jesus Christ arrives he should find a faithful slave who is telling the truth about the “man of lawlessness” and the “disgusting thing” to righteous Christians inside his own Kingdom. When he does arrive the bible assures us that he will find these same faithful slaves being beaten by their evil brothers who will be found eating and drinking with the same drunkards who have been shamefully overcome by Satan’s Unrighteous Deception. Jesus Christ said the following in the Book of Matthew: Matthew 24:33-34 Likewise also YOU, when YOU see all these things, know that he is near at the doors. 34 Truly I say to YOU that this generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur. 33
The discerning reader should have now seen all these things. The food is being delivered at the proper time. Jesus Christ is near at the doors. When Jesus Christ arrives he should find his faithful slave continuing to deliver this food. This wicked generation really is about to pass away while paying no attention to these truths and continuing in their normal day to day activities. Jehovah’s Witnesses themselves have not anticipated how narrow the gate ~ 121 ~

really is and cramped the road that leads off into life. Only a very few are finding the gate. They are passing through to the cramped place which is outside of the modern day corrupted city of Jerusalem and away from the temple inside which has been profaned. They are outside the camp in cramped conditions suffering reproach by those many people who are complacent with the present conditions inside of the kingdom which has been so thoroughly undermined by Satan and his weeds. Please don’t be found inside the city when Jesus Christ finally arrives. On these pages there are an overwhelming number of evidences in our recent history which prove that the bible prophecies which pave the way for the conclusion of this system of things have already been fulfilled! This cannot be coincidence. The sheer composite total of the evidences presented in this book which fit together in such an extraordinary way, drives skepticism beyond the acceptable limits. The Song of Moses reveals however, that just as happened in the first century, the conclusion of this system of things will happen in a generation which does not want to hear the truth. The defect is their own. The Song of Moses They have acted ruinously on their own part; They are not his children, the defect is their own. A generation crooked and twisted! 6 Is it to Jehovah that YOU keep doing this way, O people stupid and not wise? Is he not your Father who has produced you, He who made you and proceeded to give you stability? ~ 122 ~

The prophet Isaiah pointed out that it will be a future generation who will understand the straightforward truths written down in this book.

Can you see? After carefully contemplating the words written on these pages the reader should have an appreciation for how accurately these events were predicted to happen through ancient writings in the bible. The reader should see how beautifully the mysteries were concealed. The discerning reader should now be able to echo the words of the Apostle Paul: Romans 11:33 O the depth of God‟s riches and wisdom and knowledge! How unsearchable his judgments [are] and past tracing out his ways [are]!

And he kept making him suck honey out of a crag, And oil out of a flinty rock; 14 Butter of the herd and milk of the flock Together with the fat of rams, And male sheep, the breed of Ba´shan, and he-goats Together with the kidney fat of wheat; And the blood of the grape you kept drinking as wine. 15 When Jesh´u·run began to grow fat, then he kicked. You have grown fat, you have become thick, you have become gorged. So he forsook God, who made him, And despised the Rock of his salvation. 16 They began inciting him to jealousy with strange gods; With detestable things they kept offending him. 17 They went sacrificing to demons, not to God, Gods whom they had not known, New ones who recently came in, With whom YOUR forefathers were not acquainted. 18 The Rock who fathered you, you proceeded to forget, And you began to leave God out of memory, the One bringing you forth with childbirth pains. 19 When Jehovah saw it, then he came to disrespect them, Because of the vexation his sons and his daughters gave. 20 So he said, „Let me conceal my face from them, Let me see what their end will be afterward.

At the appointed time their foot will move unsteadily, For the day of their disaster is near, And the events in readiness for them do make haste.‟ 36 For Jehovah will judge his people And he will feel regret over his servants, Because he will see that support has disappeared And there is only a helpless and worthless one. 37 And he will certainly say, „Where are their gods, The rock in whom they sought refuge, 38 Who used to eat the fat of their sacrifices, To drink the wine of their drink offerings? Let them get up and help YOU. Let them become a concealment place for YOU. 39 SEE now that I—I am he And there are no gods together with me. I put to death, and I make alive. I have severely wounded, and I—I will heal, And there is no one snatching out of my hand. 40 For I raise my hand to heaven [in an oath], And I do say: “As I am alive to time indefinite,” 41 If I do indeed sharpen my glittering sword, And my hand takes hold on judgment, I will pay back vengeance to my adversaries And render retribution to those who intensely hate me. 42 I shall intoxicate my arrows with blood, While my sword will eat flesh, With the blood of the slain and the ~ 128 ~

-Convincing Evidence-
Please read this quote from the July 1st 1955 Watchtower magazine. It reveals that a time did exist when the Watchtower Society understood the importance of keeping God’s commandments without spot. Consider the example of Adam and Eve. Adam understood there would be a consequence to disobeying God’s commandments and yet he still disobeyed. In modern times we have an opportunity to obey God just as Adam once had. This quote from the 1955 Watchtower magazine stands as solemn testimony to the fact that Jehovah’s own Witnesses at one time understood the baptismal command and yet have now willfully disobeyed it. The consequence for Adam’s disobeying the command to refrain from eating fruit from a tree was death. What should the consequence now be for disobeying God’s baptismal command which allows Satan to taunt Jehovah right to his face in such an abominable and reprehensible way inside his own holy temple? A person who disobeys God in such a way and yet also understands the value of the ransom sacrifice has no other sacrifice remaining with which to benefit from again. Satan’s weeds will try very hard to belittle the consequence of disobeying the baptismal commandment. When they do please remind them that the consequence for eating fruit from the wrong tree was death for the entire human family! Don’t allow yourself to be deceived or undermined by Satan (and his weeds) just as Adam and Eve were.
