Dear Readers,
I am going to leave this post as a constant feature at the top of this Main Page.
All new posts will be entered below it.

Since I first started this Blog, many readers have transferred their online reading from a computer, to a cell phone. Unless the phone reader makes compensation, the pop-up scripture feature, will not function. That loss is grave, because any wisdom in my work, is found in the cited scriptures. One of my cell phone readers has informed me, how you can compensate. I will put her words and picture, below:
"One way to overcome the scriptures not being able to be opened on the iPhone or any phone is to direct the audience to click the web version. If you scroll all the way to the end of the blog and right above the “About Me,” you will see a “Home” button. Directly underneath the Home button is a link “view web version.” Click that link. You will then be able to click scripture links. A soft click on a scripture link will create a pop up of the scripture. A hard click on the scripture link will open that scripture in another window bringing you to, for example, the blueletterbible or biblegateway websites with the scripture you clicked to read."
With whatever device you are using...
I request and advise that all cited scriptures be read. Most of your learning will occur while reading the cited scriptures. They will pop up for computer users, if you hover your cursor over them. Much of the theme and thrust of the article, as well as connecting points, will be found only as the scriptures are read. I leave many holes around my own words, which can only be filled and bridged by the scriptures contained.
I do realize that following this suggestion, takes time.
I hope you take the time needed, perhaps reading one post in sections, so that all scriptures can be read and their relevance, deeply considered as you come to them.
Please consider structuring your studies in this way,
because reading my words only, is a sad waste of both of our time.

There are currently, over 800 posts and additional blogs in my profile.
Introductory articles can be found in the right-side column, at the top of this page.
These readings should give you the foundation you need, in order to consider and understand more fully the current posts. A consideration of the scriptures they contain, should provide greater assurance about the deeper interpretation and application of God's Word, which is progressively posted here.

The underpinning scriptural truths of every post, will not usually be discussed again if that information has already has been covered. Please make full use of the search-box when needed.
If assistance is still desired, there is a contact box to message me, found in the right side column of this page.

I also welcome you to post comments under each post.
If you do not speak English, you can translate your comment into English by using the link to follow: https://translate.google.com/
You can also use the Google Translate tool, to submit existing English comments and replies from other readers, and then read them in your own language.

For ANY question which arises or remains, during or after your study;
there is a contact form, also within the right-side column. Please feel welcomed to use it.
I will be able to refer you to the appropriate material, or I will answer you directly. If you do not want your question and my reply to be published, please specify that wish within your message to me.

If you are searching a scripture, rather than a subject;
consider also searching that scripture's cross reference.
In other words, if you want information about Mark 13:8; also consider searching Matt.24:7,8;
because I may have written about that scriptural subject, using Matt.24:7,8 instead of Mark 13:8. If you need help with that, contact me.

One of our readers told me this helpful tip about search results...
After your search result page shows up...
If you press "control" (ctrl) then press "F" at the same time, another little search box appears.
I put my same search word(s) (or scriptural verse) in that new search box.
After clicking "enter", that search word(s) (or Bible verses) were highlighted on my result page.

Please enter the site by a direct search for "pearl doxsey", or for "4womaninthewilderness",
unless the URL is saved on your PC.
If you wish to help our Google rating, do a search for a Bible topic that you know is addressed by this Blog, and then click on the result for this site.
Every time a search result ends in another visit here, the Google rating improves, along with the site's visibility to new searchers. However, please do not enter the site repeatedly through one particular post, or by searching on a search engine repeatedly for the same subject or post. When that is done, it adversely affects the list of "Popular posts of the Week" from refreshing. Other topics of reader interest are then crowded off the list of highlighted links. It is best to keep that list fresh, for the interest of new readers and availability of new topics.

We live during a time of revelation. New concepts and interpretations are becoming unveiled (Dan.12:4,9; Hab.2:3; Rev.22:10; 20:12). Many of these things are deeper and more complex than what we were previously taught. Many run contrary to the Satanic deceptions to which we as former "Jehovah's Witnesses" subscribed, and which have become deeply entrenched within our perceptions.
Such doctrine must be overturned consciously, by effort and grace, which only by a careful and intense scriptural study, can this be done for us.
As always, if any questions arise, there is a contact form on the right side of this page.

If you appreciate what you are learning here,
you are welcomed to join the forum or Facebook group, for support.
Both links are found at the top of this post.

I have deep appreciation for the many expressions I receive from readers, and hope that you will send me feedback and any suggestions for improving the reading experience. Please feel welcomed to use the contact form in the right side column of this page.
If you believe the scriptural things you learn here;
please share those scriptures and the truth they reveal, with others.
This can be done on the various internet forums which cater especially to "Jehovah's Witness", ex-"Jehovah's Witnesses", and the ideology, mindset, and experience of each.

May God continue to answer our sincere requests for heavenly bread (Matt.6:11; John 6:27,35,51,58,55; 14:21,6; Rev.2:17), which we receive through the true vine, and his faithful branches (John15:4,5,8;  1Cor. 4:1).
May God bless all of you with spirit and truth (John 4:23-24), and the eternal blessing to follow for those who worship according to them
(John 8:31; 6:63;  2John 1:9).
Love in Christ,
Pearl

Revelation chapter 12 verse 14

--Work in Progress-- 
[To listen to our meeting that discusses the material of PART ONE, 

This lesson is for advanced students. I will include links below, for related, foundational information.

Rev.12: "14 The woman was given the two wings of a great eagle, so that she might fly to the place prepared for her in the wilderness, where she would be taken care of for a time, times and half a time, out of the serpent’s reach."

To open up the interpretation of Revelation, I turn to the scriptures (Gen.40:8; 2Tim.3:16-17; John 17:17)

PART ONE:

"The woman - was given - the two - wings - of a great eagle"


The woman is the new covenant, a promised reward to the faithful, that they will belong to the Holy City and Bride of Christ 
(Gal.4:26,24; Rev.3:12; Luke 10:20; Eph.2:6; Rev.21:9-10)
Links:

was given
(John 15:26; James 1:17; Mal.4:5; Dan.11:31-33; Dan.11:34NIV; Isa.41:10,13; Ps.46:1-2,3-4,5)

the two
Two is a number that represents truth (John 8:17). To be given two, infers that the gift is related to truth.

wings
Wings are appendages for navigating through the air and wind. 
Air and wind represent spirit, either bad or good (Eph.2:2; John 3:8)
Wings carry us aloft as the spirit brings us to our place to settle. 
(Ps.55:6; Rev.12:14) (Zech.5:9-10,11)

of a great eagle
If we wish to understand the meaning of "great eagle" we turn to Ezekiel chapter 17 which is the only other place where "great eagle"s are mentioned. There are two eagles directly mentioned there (Eze.17:3,7) but as we will see, there turns out to be three.

Ezekiel 17NIV (<click on to read)

The parable there explains that the first eagle plucked off the top most shoot of a cedar tree as a new sapling, and carried it away to a land of merchants (Rev.18:3,23; Eze.16:29; 2Cor.2:17; Isa.23:8), where the eagle planted it in a city of traders.
The eagle nurtures the sapling "like a willow by abundant water", but it turns into a low crawling vine (Eze.15:1-2,3-4,5-6,7-8). It's branches stretched toward the eagle that planted it in a land of merchants, but it's roots remained beneath the vine in the earth.
Later on, the vine decides to turn toward another great eagle, even with it's roots, seeking a different foundation of strength. The vine withers, weakens, is uprooted and stripped of it's fruit when the east wind strikes it.
Then the Lord interprets the meaning of the parable.
The first eagle is the king of Babylon (Nebuchadnezzar). He makes a treaty with the king of Jerusalem (the twig) whom he has taken captive, that causes the suppression of Jerusalem's royalty and nobles. God allowed the discipline of Babylon to come upon His people for 70 years (Dan.9:12-14; Jer.25:4-6,7-9,10-12). Jeremiah chapter 25 resonates repeatedly with Revelation.
God has allowed this to happen to his people, because they despised and broke their oath and covenant with God, as well as the treaty made with Nebuchadnezzar. 
The second eagle is where God's people turn for escape from Babylon. They do not turn to God, but to Egypt. This turns out even worse.

Hope remains in the final verses of Eze.17:22-24 (Isa.60:21)
(Deut.32:9-11,12-14; Ex.19:4-6; Isa.40:31; Rev.12:14). 
God chooses one of the youngest branches for Himself. He plants it upon a "high and lofty mountain" belonging to Israel (Rev.14:1). The branch flourishes and grows, becoming a cedar tree that produces branches, foliage and fruit. "Birds of every kind will nest in it; they will find shelter in the shade of its branches" (Eze.17:23b). 
Verse 24 concludes, "24 All the trees of the forest will know that I the Lord bring down the tall tree and make the low tree grow tall. I dry up the green tree and make the dry tree flourish. “‘I the Lord have spoken, and I will do it.’”
God is given credit for the inevitable demise of wicked leaders, and the birth, creation and enduring, bountiful success of the faithful.

Since the woman is given wings of a great eagle from God; we can expect that similar plans are underway for the mother covenant and her remaining seed.

PART TWO     (under construction)

"so that she might fly to the place prepared for her in the wilderness, where she would be taken care of for a time, times and half a time, out of the serpent’s reach".

a time, times, and half a time
To understand what is happening to the covenant woman and her seed, we look to Dan.7:25; 12:7; 11:21-22,28-32. The context speaks of the defeat of the woman's seed for a limited time (Dan.7:19-21; Rev.13:7; Dan.7:23-25; Luke 21:24; Dan.7:22; 12:1,5-7; 11:33; Rev.13:10; Luke 21:24; Col.2:8; Dan.12:10; 9:24).
Gal.4:1-3; Luke 13:6-9; Lev.19:23-25

-- [Regarding Dan.9:24 and the "seal up vision and prophecy", see
Note the first use and context of "u·l·chthm". It refers to making an end and finish of sin, in a sealed or established way. "U·l·chthm" is also used in reference to **vision and prophecy, yet I don't believe that it should be translated as "seal up vision and prophecy" as if understanding cannot be opened (Isa.29:11). Rather, to seal it as finished, and fulfilled **(Rev.10:1-2,7)... just as transgression, sin, and rebellion were concluded. 
Dan.9:24 speaks of this period of time as bringing in "everlasting righteousness" and to anointed the most holy place. 
Everlasting righteousness does not arrive until after the time of the End (2Pet.3:13-14)] And so rather than sealing up prophecy when the end is nigh, the scriptures indicate that the end is the time for vision, prophecy, and God's mysteries, to be opened (Dan.12:4,9-10; Rev.10:7; 22:10,20).
---------------------------

---------------------------
Although the woman and her seed must cope with a symbolic 7/70, that period is divided into two eras (Rev.12:6,14).
------------------------
Dan.12:11-12 contains two numbers, in addition to Rev.12:6.
I do not yet fully understand, but if we compare 1,260 days to 1,290 days, there is one month difference (30 days).
If we compare 1,335 to 1,260 we see that there are 2 months and a half month. [1,335 - 1,260 = 75 (30+30+15).
Starting with Rev.12:6, 
1,260 --- 1,290 is one extra time/month
1,335 adds two times/months and a half month
a time, times, and half a time.

out of the serpent's reach
2Cor.2:11YLT
To be beyond the serpent's reach, is to have perception.
It is to be no longer ignorant of Satan's wiles and intentions.
Satan has lost his advantage and ability to exploit us.

Luke 23:43 "Truly I tell you today you will be with me in Paradise."

I received a question about the paradise of God which Jesus promised to the one who was dying at his side, as well as why Jesus said, "today". 
What follows, is my reply.

First I will comment on why Jesus said "today", in regard to the timing of when the request he was asked would be fulfilled.

When I was an active Jehovah's Witness being taught by the "Watchtower", their doctrine asserted that this use of "today", means that Jesus was making his promise, on that particular day. 
You may agree, that such a use of "today", simply to state the obvious, would be a waste of Jesus' precious breath. 
Other religions, interpret the use of "today", as Jesus telling the man, that he would enter paradise, on that very day of his death.
That teaching also, cannot be accurate, for the following reasons...
1. Jesus said that the dead will rise on the last day (John 6:40).
2. God's paradise (garden of God), with all it's various kinds of "trees of life" (called, chosen, and faithful priests and kings), did not yet exist in the first century.

What then, did Jesus intend, when he told the man, "today"?
A look at the previous verse, recorded the very request of the man, which Jesus was responding to. 
It also helps us gain understanding, if we look at a full definition of the Greek word, which is translated as "today".
The statement which Jesus was replying to, is in verse 42, and reads;
" 'Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!' ” (Luke 23:42-43)
To "remember", means to recall to the mind something that occurred in the past.
"When you come into your kingdom" points to the future. 
All these words inform us, that the dying man believed that Jesus' kingdom was yet future. This was natural for him to conclude, while viewing the humiliating condition and circumstances that Jesus was in at that moment. 
But was that physical viewpoint, accurate?
Jesus spoke of his suffering, shame, and death,
as his glorification (John 12:22-23; 17:1)
Why would the glorious victory of Jesus be concurrent with his public humiliation, torture, and death?

It is through satanic trial, that the integrity of God's servants, is proven. Such faithful integrity and patient endurance, is the spiritual glory of that person. The unsurpassed integrity of Jesus Christ, was inseparable, from his position, as the king of truth.
(Link: "Glory")
Jesus was not the kind of king that we see in this world. He said that his kingdom, was no part of the world, but that his authority and power, was in the hearts of those who listened to, and obeyed his message (John 18:36-37; 6:37).
Jesus declared, that his position as king, already existed (Luke 22:69; Ps.110:1-2; 1Cor.15:25)

Now, returning to the words of the dying man...
He requested that Jesus "remember him", when he received his kingdom.
To be remembered by Jesus as faithful, is to be written in the Lamb's scroll of life (Mal.3:16; Rev.20:12; 21:27). That scroll / book was already having names added to it during the earthly lifetime of Jesus (Luke 10:20; John 5:21-22). Those written there will be with Jesus in Paradise.

Would the dying man need to wait, in order to be written down in the king's book of the living? Would he need to wait until some future time, for Jesus to have the kingly, royal authority to offer that man, salvation?
No, Jesus was letting the dying man know, that on that very day, in those very circumstances... the day was already here for Jesus to endow a sovereign promise of life to his hearers (John 5:24-25; 11:25-26).

If we look at the Greek interlinear for Luke 23:43 and the way the sentence is structured... as well as looking up the definition, and other Bible uses for that same Greek word... we will learn that it is not usually speaking of a literal day, but as something already present or accomplished. It can also refer to an era, usually of a king, such as the "day of Herod" or, the "day of John the Baptist" (Matt.2:1; 11:12). It is speaking of an era of a person's influence. Jesus, is "Lord of the Sabbath" Day (Matt.12:8; 2Pet.3:8; Rev.20:6). He was already God's messenger king during his days on earth, and already empowered with all authority, to grant life (Matt.21:1-2,3-4,5; 28:18; John 5:21; 18:36-37).
(See link: two-kingdoms.html)

With all this in mind,
can you see why Jesus told the man, "Truly I tell you today... You will be *with me, in paradise."?
Jesus was indicating that there was no need to remember the man's request at a later time, because Jesus was already granting it. Jesus already had royal authority to grant the sinner life in Paradise. The crucifixion of Jesus that day, guaranteed Paradise to both the sinner *and Jesus. (Heb.12:2; Acts 2:29-30,32-33,34-36; Luke 22:69; Ps.110:1; 1Cor.15:25). Paradise is the trees of life belonging to the holy city (Rev.22:1-2; 21:6-7,9-10,2-3). Jesus inherits that Bride / City / dwelling of God's spirit / eternal kingdom of priests and kings... through his death at crucifixion (Rev.5:9-10; 21:9-10,2-3; 1Cor.3:16; 1Pet.2:5; Rev.21:3-5) as well as the Paradise that results.
I believe that Jesus was telling the man, that the day of salvation was already here (2Cor.6:2), and the man was already being granted access to the City of Life, by the already existing, bridegroom and king (Matt.9:14-15; 21:1-2,4-5; John 18:33,36-37).

Second, What is the paradise / garden of God?

The paradise of God, is under God's New Creation, where all His new trees of life are (Isa.51:3; Gen.2:8-10; Eze.47:12; Rev.22:2,14; 2:7).
After reading those scriptures, can you see what it was, that Jesus granted the one who died at his side?
Each "tree" of life, that feeds from God's "river" of the water of life, and produces fruit for healing, is, at the same time (in a different parable), a living stone of God's spiritual Temple... the place to offer prayer for all nations (Isa.56:7).

Another parable that describes the trees of life in God's paradise, is at Luke 8:5-7,8-10,11-13,14-15. 
There it compares the heart, to soil... the truth, to seed. When the heart is good, the seed grows into a tree that produces fruit (in the garden/paradise, of God). Remember that the Father, is the cultivator of His own garden (John 15:1).
Jesus referred to how God prepares and cultivates a heart...
       (also compared to how He refines a heart with fire Prov.17:3; Zech.13:9; Jer.23:29; John 17:17; Eph.5:25-27; John14:3; 1Pet.1:22), 
...when he spoke at John 14:2 (please read) Heb.3:6.
Each "room"/"place", is a heart/part of God's "land", habitation of spirit (translated as "inhabited earth"), where the seed of truth, grows (1Cor.3:9; Luke 8:11,15). It is the part of each chosen one/living stone, where God's spirit, resides (John14:23; Rom.5:5; 2Cor.1:22).
Jesus works with God, to cultivate (prepare) the heart/"place"/"room"...
(Acts 15:14-18; Heb.8:2; Joel 2:12-13; Job 11:13-19; Eph.2:10; Ps.100:3; Isa.42:6; 43:21; 1Pet.2:9-10), 
...the "ground", where His seed will grow.

This also compares to a woman's womb... the heart from which, life springs (Prov.4:23).
This is why covenants (those representing the covenant) are symbolized by women (Gal.4:26,24). The members of Christ's covenant bride, cultivate the "seed"/truth/words of Christ, in their hearts, so that life is given to all who receive their teaching (Luke 6:45)... producing more sons for him (Rev.12:1-2,5; 2:26-27) who in turn produce more sons.
Can you see how this spiritual virility and purpose of Christ in God's New Creation, compares to Adam? (Gen.1:28; 1Cor.15:45,22; John 5:24; 6:63)

 So many parables and illustrations... symbols... to describe the same aspects of the same things. The paradise of God, is where one finds the truths of God, provided through the trees of life in that garden, who produce fruit for healing and eternal life. 
Jesus promised that the one who died at his side, who had expressed humility concerning his sins, and acknowledged the innocence and unjust suffering of Jesus... Jesus promised that he would receive God's favor and blessing, given those who "enter the City", the "temple", the cultivated "garden" of God. Access to that Paradise and holy city would include access to fine spiritual fruit containing living water 
(Rev.22:1-2; Matt.7:20) (https://pearl-finetrees.blogspot.com).
All the meanings are spiritual, and refers to the Kingdom and Paradise, where all God's messenger angels will fill the new earth, with the knowledge of God (John 6:45; Hab.2:14; Isa.11:9).
All those granted entrance, will be taught by YHWH.

Who provoke God's Anger?

Question received:

I would like to learn more specifically about how many of the worlds religions have angered God. Are those of us who question the pretend preachers and prophets for profit have we angered God as well? 

My Reply:

In reply to the first part of your question, please consider Luke 4:5-6
"5 Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 6 And the devil said to Him, “All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish."

Did you notice in verse 6 above that all authority of the world's governments, was "delivered" to Satan?
As we read at 1John5:19... 
"We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one."
Notice in 1John5:19 that a contrast is made between those that are under the influence of the Devil (Eph.2:1-2), and those that are of God.
Those groups of people (the good, the bad, and the undecided) are described in the Bible as belonging to 3 distinct symbolic realms.
For instance, the disobedient world that harbors the spirit of the Devil, 
is described as the SEA (Isa.57:20) - (Ps.37:10; Rev.21:1).

What about those who "are of God" as 1John5:19a stated above?
Well, they are symbolized by two realms.
The Bible refers to them at Acts 7:49 where we read; 
"‘Heaven is My throne,
And earth is My footstool."
Jesus referred to these two groups also, at Matt.28:18...
    "And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth."

Neither the heaven or earth, are the sea.

If heaven is where God's throne resides, that is where His kingdom, sovereignty, authority, and power is upheld.
Jesus prayed that eventually, God's will, desire, and purpose would also be done on earth as it is already being done in heaven (Matt.6:10).
Earth is God's footstool, which means that it is God's own wayward people who are being disciplined, in the hope of bringing them into subjection to Him (ie. Ps.110:1; 1Cor.15:25). 
Each individual has free will. Those of earth will either choose to become of heaven, or they will be tossed back into the realm of the sea/wicked, as unsuitable fish  (Matt.13:48-49).

From all this we learn, that God made a judgment in Eden, to deliver creation into the hands of the Devil (Rom.8:20-21). 
Why? 
Because God gave everything in creation to Adam and Eve (Gen.1:26-28).
When Adam subjected himself to the Devil; everything Adam had dominion over, was now under Satan. God allowed this, which is why Satan said that at Luke 4:6 quoted above.

You may be wondering how all this addresses your question.
God does not get angry about the world's religions. He already knows that they are veiled by the wicked one. God Himself handed down the judgment for this to be so. 
This was why the conversation that Jesus had with Pilate is relevant. 
At John 19:10-11 we read;  
"10 Then Pilate said to Him, “Are You not speaking to me? Do You not know that I have power to crucify You, and power to release You?” 11 Jesus answered, “You could have no power at all against Me unless it had been given to you from above. Therefore the one who delivered Me to you has the greater sin.”

So, who delivered Jesus over to Rome? 
Who was it that had a greater sin before God... greater than the pagan Gentile Pilate who practiced one of the world's religions?
(Matt.15:24; John 1:11; 15:22-25; 7:1; Matt.27:1-2; John 19:11; Matt.23:37-38,31-33,35-36)
...It was the Jewish nation who were God's people! 
God gets angry with His own people, when THEY become wicked. They should know better. God's people had God's Laws and they were in covenant with Him. They were supposed to be set apart from the world/sea, as His own chosen and precious possession.

It might be easier to understand this if we think of God's covenant with His own people, as a marriage.
We may not feel any anger at all, if a distant neighbor commits adultery.
But, ...isn't it very different, if our own beloved spouse, cheats on us? The betrayal becomes quite personal.
-- Pagans don't belong to God. God well knows that they already belong to the wicked one.
Why would God become angry about His own righteous judicial decision regarding the delineation between His own dominion and that of the temporary dominion of the Devil?

Now for the second part of your question:
"Are those of us who question the pretend preachers and prophets for profit have we angered God as well?"

Jesus taught all those who wished to be a part of the symbolic earth and heavens, how to handle preachers and prophets.
You will see that our questioning them does not anger God or Jesus at all. In fact, Jesus teaches us that we must question them.
At 1John4:1 we read 
"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God or not; because many false prophets have gone out into the world."

Do we want to be mislead by a false prophet or lying preacher who is inspired by demons? 
Rev.16:13-14; 1Tim.4:1 

Does God want us to be mislead? (2Pet.3:9)
What about Jesus?
He said;
"15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them."

Clearly Jesus expects us to be wary of being mislead by false teachers, preachers, ministers, and prophets (Matt.24:4-5,24-25; Rev.2:20). Of course! ...because he wants us to walk in the way, the truth, and the life. We cannot have any of those blessings, if we are mislead.

Malachi Chapter Four [] Great Day of God the Almighty

 This post is a recorded meeting in response to a question about the Great Day of God the Almighty, from Mal.4:5.

Malachi chapter four reads;
“Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. (Matt.7:19; 25:41; Jer.23:29; 20:9; Eze.30:8; Luke 12:49; 2Pet.3:7,10,13; Rev.9:2; 8:7; 18:8; 11:3-5; 20:9-10;  Deut.32:22,32-33; Amos 7:4; 2:5; Isa.66:15,16; Rev.2:16  etc.) All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and the day that is coming will set them on fire,” says the Lord Almighty. “Not a root or a branch will be left to them. 2 But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays. And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves. 3 Then you will trample on the wicked; they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I act,” says the Lord Almighty.
4 “Remember the law of my servant Moses, the decrees and laws I gave him at Horeb for all Israel.
5 “See, I will send the prophet Elijah to you before that great and dreadful day of the Lord comes. 6 He will turn the hearts of the parents to their children, and the hearts of the children to their parents; or else I will come and strike the land with total destruction.”

To listen to the meeting,

Integrity Sourced in Clarity

DONE EDITING

Message received:
"I’m starting to give up and it scares me. I’ve been beaten down for so long, it’s hard not to blame God (whose name I feel I don’t know anymore) and Jesus for allowing me to be mislead all these years. I feel betrayed and I’m angry."

My reply:
Regarding the thought that it's wrong for God and Jesus to allow this great test of going through the spiritual abuse of the Watchtower; it's good to recall that Jesus warned us about a great test/tribulation 
(Matt.24:4-5,8,11,13,21-23,24-25,28; Rev.19:20; 16:13-16; 1Tim.4:1). 
There is so much information that Jesus and the prophets give us regarding that period of trial, but it takes time and a personal interest on our part, to learn about it all (Matt.5:6; John 6:35,63).

Jesus said to Peter; 
"31 “Simon, Simon, Satan has demanded to sift all of you as wheat. 32 But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not give out. And when you have turned back (return to your faith), strengthen your brothers.” (Luke 22)

 Luke 22:31

In God's heavenly court, Satan has demanded that he be able to test the faithful loyalty of the anointed, even to the point of death...
(Rev.6:9-11; 12:10-11; 2Tim.1:8; Mark 8:35; Rom.6:5; 8:17-18) 
...previous to their inheriting the creation away from the Devil. 
After all, if the anointed become unfaithful to God, then Satan can keep his dominion... because the anointed are proven as being no better than Satan is.

What has happened, is that the test by Satan toward the anointed, has also come upon all those that are with the anointed.
Satan's dragnet/organization that he has used to take captive, deceive, and control the anointed, has also taken captive many others 
(Luke 21:20; Hab.1:4NKJV; Hab.1:14-15,16-17; 2Tim.2:26NKJV; Rev.13:10; Col.2:8; 2Tim.2:26NKJV; Matt.13:47-49) 
   More information:

The campaign of deception that Satan has used against the anointed, is also deceiving many others.
But like the anointed who are waking up and taking a stand, others are also waking up and taking a stand 
(Rom.13:11; Matt.25:5-7; Dan.12:2-4; Eph.5:14; Rev.3:2NIV; Isa.52:1; Joel 3:12; Eze.37:3-5; Rev.11:7-8,11.)

The critical part of this test upon us, is similar to the faithful man Job. Will this test cause us to "curse God and die"? (Job 2:9; 1:22; 2:3; 27:5) Or, will we turn to God for answers to this terrible experience, and be open to find and accept His answer to us? Will we seek out and feed on His mountains? Will we look to Jesus for answers?
(Eze.34:7-9,10-12,13-14; Matt.24:15-16; John 10:11-13,14-15; Rev.3:20)
>Our personal responses to these questions, is what it means to be in the Valley of Decision (Joel 3:1-2,7,14-16,17-18). 

Exiles of the Watchtower who had previously made a dedication to God, are reevaluating their relationship with God after their awakening from their Watchtower captivity. As a result of their own decision regarding their relationship with God; God is then deciding His relationship with them 
(Jer.29:13; 2Chron.16:9; Isa.55:6; Prov.8:17; 1Chron.28:9).

As we read in Job 1:22, Job did not ascribe evil to God. He took that righteous stance, despite not even knowing that it was the Devil who was causing his trials (James 1:13). Even while believing that the source of his troubles were from God; Job refused to betray God (Job 1:20-21,22).

Jesus gave us a parable that illuminates an attitude that stands in contrast to Job. It is well worth considering the person's attitude in Christ's parable, for the warning it affords to us.
Jesus described the kind of service that he desires from his servants...
(2Cor.5:15; Col.3:24; Matt.11:28-29,30; 20:28; John 10:14-15). 
Jesus is a loving, self-sacrificing shepherd. 

In the parable of Jesus, he describes one of his servant's attitude at the time of Christ's return. Rather than knowing the loving nature of Jesus, that lazy slave answers Jesus...
"24 “Then he who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Lord, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed. 25 And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Look, there you have what is yours.’ " (Matt.25).
-- This slave has the wrong impression of Christ's nature.
Where did this foolish servant get this impression of Jesus as a threatening, harsh master?
Who is the servant confusing Jesus with?
Who really is the "hard man" that invokes fear, who the servant has mistaken for Jesus? 
Who is the master that the servant actually has above him, who is harsh and demanding?
Who is the leader that takes for himself, all the benefits that were gained through the hard work of others beneath them (Matt.25:24)(James 5:4; Micah 2:1-2)

Jesus indicates who the harsh master is, who is causing fear in Christ's anointed household and those with them. 
Jesus exposes that brute, within his parable of the steward of Christ's household (Luke 12:42-43,44-45,46).
  Take note of the unfaithful option open to the ruler* of Christ's household (Luke 12:42NKJV*), at Luke 12:45...
"45 But if that servant says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying his coming,’ and starts to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink and get drunk".
(Prov.26:9; Isa.29:9; 28:7,14,17,19)

Under such a ruler, there is no true spiritual sustenance, no mercy, no justice.
What do we learn from these two parables (Matt.25:24-25; Luke 12:45)?
We learn from Christ's parable that we must be very careful, not to confuse the wicked leaders we have had above us, with our true master. It is not wise to ascribe the sins of men, to our Lord.

Many blame God for the spiritual abuse they have suffered under the governing leaders of the Watchtower, along with the army of elders who are being directed by those leaders. 
Like the lazy slave; many who have been abused, blend together and confuse the two masters. Assigning the evil of the unfaithful steward onto Christ, is error. As we learned, that confusion ends badly for the one who blames Christ for the wicked steward's behavior (Matt.25:26,30).

--As you state in your original comment above;
"I’ve been beaten down for so long, it’s hard not to blame God and Jesus for allowing me to be mislead all these years. I feel betrayed and I’m angry."
Try to remember clearly... who it was who "beat you down" (Luke 12:45). It was the leaders of the Watchtower and their elder army. 
You certainly have a right to feel hurt and angry for the spiritual abuse, 'beatings', exploitation, hypocrisy, lack of mercy, injustices, misdirection, and harsh demands of the wicked steward. 
Yet hopefully at this point, you can avoid the error of the lazy slave of Matt.25:24. 
At Job.1:22, despite all the agony and trials to befall Job while in the hands of Satan; Job never ascribed anything evil to God (James 1:13). After proving his integrity; Job was richly rewarded by God for his faithful loyalty (James 5:11). That result stands in stark contrast to the outcome of the lazy servant (1Pet.3:17; 5:10).


All of our past experiences and circumstances while captive in the Watchtower, was prophesied. The more our spiritual circumstances come into focus, the more we can perceive what's really going on, and what we should do about it.
--I am here to help you with that, and anyone else who asks. Jesus said to "keep on asking, knocking, seeking" (Matt.7:7-9,10-11). 
For those who do, it will be given.

When did Jesus begin his symbolic 1,000 year Reign?

Please consider the scriptures to follow.
Let's first read two...
John 18:
"33 Then Pilate entered the Praetorium again, called Jesus, and said to Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”
36 Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from this source.”
37 Pilate therefore said to Him, “Are You a king then?”
Jesus answered, “You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is on the side of the truth, listens to My voice.”

Jesus explained to Pilate that Christ's dominion, authority, and power was one of Truth. All who side with divine truth, have Jesus as their king, and it is his voice that they heed, serve, and obey. For those who love divine truth; Christ is their lord, master, and king (Col.3:24).
---
Matt.21:
"1 Now when they drew near Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, “Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Loose them and bring them to Me. 3 And if anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord has need of them,’ and immediately he will send them.”
4 All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: 5 “Tell the daughter of Zion,
‘Behold, your King is coming to you,
Lowly, and sitting on a donkey, A colt, the foal of a donkey."
-------
It would seem that Jesus had a royal dominion in the first century. Do we have further scriptures to confirm this?
Please combine the three main scriptures to follow, to see the truth...

SCRIPTURE #1:
Luke 22: 
"69 Hereafter the Son of Man will sit at the right hand of the power of God.”  (confirmed by Stephen at Acts 7:55; Eph.1:22-23)
[Jesus was placed at the right hand of God in the first century.]


Christ's reign was over the Christian congregation, not over Satan's world governments 
(1John5:19; Luke 4:5-6; John 18:36; 6:15). 
His kingdom over other kings (Rev.19:16) does not rest on anything of this world. 
(John 18:36; Heb.9:11; 8:2; 1Cor.3:16; Eph.2:20-22). 
  (1Pet.3:22; Matt.28:18)
The "kings of the earth" (Rev.16:14-16NET) are anointed (Rev.1:5-6NKJV) who are brought into spiritual battle with one another... the faithful, true prophet against the unfaithful, false prophet and its beast organization.
(Rev.16:13; 13:11; 19:20; 17:14; 11:3)
(1Cor.11:18-19; Mal.3:18; Matt.13:30; 24:6,8; Rev.12:1-2,7; John 16:21-22). (https://Who-are-gods-angels.html)
That false prophet imbues the sea-beast that serves him, with an image of being directed by holy spirit (Rev.13:11-12,14-15) 
(What does it mean to "give breath"? see John 20:22)

By his conquering the world and its ruler; Christ set his followers free from the deceptive power of Satan, by his overpowering that first enemy, and binding the Devil's deceptive power and influence against Christ's faithful disciples. 
(John14:30; 16:33; Eph.4:8; Col.1:13; Luke10:17-20; 4:18,21; Eph.4:8; Isa.49:24-25; Mark3:27; Rev.20:1-3; 3:21; Eph.2:6; 1John5:4; Luke10:20)
Note that those who are saved from captivity to darkness (Hades), are transferred into Christ's kingdom of light (Col.1:13; 1Pet.2:9). Who dare insist that Christ's kingdom did not exist?

From Luke 22:69, we now know that Jesus sat at God's right hand in the first century; Let's see why...

SCRIPTURE #2:
Psalm 110:
"1. The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.”

As God's right hand man, Jesus would be used and empowered by God to subdue enemies of truth and light. According to 
Psalm 110:2, that authority and power of Jesus would be
extended through members of Zion ...the 144,000 belonging to New Jerusalem (see Rev.14:1; Isa.2:3 c).
During each of their lifetimes, those members of Zion would battle against Satanic lies.
(Rev.19:11-14; 17:14; 2Cor.10:3-5; 6:7; Eph.6:10-12,13-15,16-17; 5:11; Ps.110:1-2; Rev.14:1)


Thus far, due to Luke 22:69 and Psalm 110:1-2; we have established that since the first century Jesus has been at God's right hand. During his position there, Christ's enemies are being subdued beneath his feet.

For our final main scripture, let's learn what Jesus is doing while his enemies are being subdued under his feet...

SCRIPTURE #3:
1Cor.15:
"25 For He must reign until He has put all enemies under His feet."
[Review of main scriptures: (Luke 22:69; Ps.110:1; 1Cor.15:25)]

Again scripture confirms that Jesus is reigning over his congregation, until through them 
(Ps.110:2; Rev.2:27NIV; 12:5; Eph.2:6; Rev.3:21), 
all enemies against his Kingdom of Truth, are subdued beneath the feet of Christ.
Ephesians 6
"12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places."
Ephesians 5
"11 Have nothing to do with the worthless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them"
2Cor.10:
4 For the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly, but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ"
1John5:
"4 For whatever is born of God conquers the world. And this is the victory that has conquered the world—our faith."
Col.1:13 reads;
"
Why is the era of Christ's reign, important to the prophecies in Revelation? 
Because it clarifies when his symbolic 1000 year kingdom takes place, as well as when it ends. Satan is then released (Rev.20:7-8; 12:17) and the Great spiritual Tribulation is ignited against the remnant of the woman's seed. 

Satan's release invokes a successful attack on the camp of the holy ones through the Great Tribulation 
(Rev.12:17; 13:7; 20:7-9*; Luke 21:20; Rev.11:3,5*)(Rev.12:1-4; Matt.24:7-8) (meaning of signs: https://pearl-sign.blogspot.com). 

That Satanic assault is expressed in multiple parables... 
...a flood to drown the woman/mother covenant of life (Rev.12:15; Gal.4:24,26; Dan.9:26; 11:32) 
...a war with the beast that results in the saints being conquered (Rev.13:7,10; Col.2:8; Luke 21:24; Dan.11:33)
...a trampling of the courtyard of God's temple (Rev.11:2; Dan.8:10; Rev.12:4)(Dan.12:3; Phil.2:15) 
...a man of lawlessness taking his throne of power amid God's temple (2Thess.2:3-4; Dan.8:11-12,24; 11:36-37,38-39; 12:7)
...and an abomination/disgusting thing, standing in the holy place/where it does not belong (Matt.24:15; Mark 13:14; Dan.11:31).
------- All these are various parables about the same events contained in prophecy.

How can we ever recognize these cardinal events of the Great spiritual Tribulation upon God's anointed people,
(1Pet.2:9-10,5; 1Cor.3:16; 2Thess.2:4; Luke 21:24; Dan.8:13; 12:7; Isa.63:18), 
...if the timeline we mistakenly believe regarding the 1000 year reign of Christ, will prevent it?
Have you caught sight of the abomination of desolation?
(Mark 13:14; 2Chron.23:6; Eze.44:6-7,8-9; Rev.13:15)

Who are the Thirds?

STILL EDITING

Question received:

Greetings from South Africa. Just a quick question. It has always bugged me that one third of the angels chose to support and leave with Satan. Fortunately 2/3 did not. What was so bad or missing under God's rulership that made them choose Satan instead of God? These are highly intelligent powerful beings made in God's image and they are perfect. What was going through their minds when they made that choice that is ultimately going to lead to their death? Kind Regards 

My Reply:

Excellent question. Please be patient with each puzzle piece, because when they are all assembled, the picture will become clear.

First, 
we need to base our concept of the "third" and "two-thirds", upon scripture.  
Zech.13:8-9 reads; 
"And it shall come to pass in all the land,” Says the Lord, “That two-thirds in it shall be cut off and die, But one-third shall be left in it: 9 I will bring the one-third through the fire, Will refine them as silver is refined, And test them as gold is tested. They will call on My name, And I will answer them. I will say, ‘This is My people’; And each one will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’ ” 

So we see that the "third" are those who are refined and become God's PEOPLE (not demon spirits). 
The "third" are seen favorably, and the "two-thirds" fail to be refined, and so are cut off from God's saving grace. 

It's really important that the false teaching of the Watchtower (that these are demons) is cleansed from us. In this way, we too can be refined through a cleansing of what we believe (just as the "one-third" are refined -Zech.13:9). 
Only when we have the correct interpretation of these "thirds" can we be enabled to understand all of Revelation's referrals to the "third", and those fallen stars you refer to at Rev.12:4NIV. 

After describing an evil army that is empowered to torment (Greek:"treat unrighteously") the unsealed (Rev.9:7,3-4); 
we then see the army that murders a third of them. 
Rev.9 refers to those "thirds" once again. 
Rev.9:18-21 reads; 
"18 By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed (1/3) —by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which came out of their mouths. 19 For their (evil) power is in their mouth and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents, having heads; and with them they do harm. 
20 But the rest of mankind (2/3), who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk. 21 And they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts." 


From Zech.13:8-9 and Rev.9:18,20 (among other verses), we see that a "third" refers to repentant humans who are forgiven, cleansed/refined, saved, and then killed by the evil army. 
(Mark 8:35; 13:13; Rev.12:11; 6:11; John 16:2; Rom.6:4-5; Rev.11:3,7; etc.)

So, to get back to your original question about the assumed "angels" who, according to the false, un-biblical WT doctrine... one third are bad, and two-thirds are good/faithful...
...In reality, the opposite is true! 
I believe that the scripture you are referring to, is Rev.12:4NIV. That's where is speaks of 1/3 of the stars, falling from heaven. 
Rev.12:4NIV is the verse that the Watchtower uses to teach their false doctrine about the "fallen angels" and the identification of them as the demons in the time of Noah. 

Let's look at that verse, and the one before it... 
Rev.12:
"3 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads. (That's Satan - Rev.12:9)
4 His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and flung them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born." 

The context of verse 4 is relevant. A meeting could be spent on all that these three verses contain, and how they are all connected. 
But for simplicity's sake... 
We see that Satan's "tail"... 
    (a lesser manifestation of his authority and power -Deut.28:13,44), ...forcefully removes "stars" from their heavenly position. 
Forcefully yes, 
because it reads that he "flung them to the earth". 
Also in verse 4 we read that this is connected to Satan wanting to devour the seed of the woman upon his birth. 
The fall from a heavenly position (Eph.2:6; Luke 10:20)
actually IS associated with the spiritual death of newly spirit-born anointed (1Cor.10:12; 2Pet.3:17NIV; Rev.3:1; 2:10; 3:11). 

At this point Julia, I can now hand you over to what this post link to follow can give you, to finish your answer. 
In the post, you'll learn **who the fallen stars really are, (Phil.2:15; Dan.12:3) as well as the exposing of more false WT doctrine that we need to be cleansed of, which stands in the way of our gaining an accurate faith. 
Please be sure to read the scriptures as you come to them. That's where you'll find your answer. ❤
