A COMMENT I WAS SENT:
"Pearl, please listen to a bit of advice.
You are having people "out" themselves when it seems it is really not the time to do so. It seems to me it is the time to remain hidden until Christ sends us out to go ruling in the midst of our enemies. Obadiah hid 100 prophets by 50 in caves, David hid himself from king Saul. Mordeciai told Esther not to reveal her people or her identity:
Esther 2:10 -Now Esther had not disclosed her people or her lineage, for Mordecai had instructed her not to do so.
If you reveal yourself now, you will face unnecessary trials and persecution you don't have to face at this time, the time will come for that but it is not now. Please consider this carefully."
MY RESPONSE:
Matt.5:15
"Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house."
Luke 12:35
"Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning".
Matt.10:16-39 (click here to read); Mark 8:35
Matt.25:25,26,27,28,29,30,41,42,43,44,45
First of all, the people you speak of did not "out themselves".
They simply started obeying the scriptures, were noticed because of it, and then were subjected to scrutiny, slander, and expulsion. This was done, not by them, but by the false doctrines of the "wicked steward", and the army of Gentile elders---that steward's long arms

(Dan.11:31; Jer.7:30; 19:4; Dan.11:38,39,10,22; 8:11; 2Thess. 2:4; Rev.13:15; 19:20; 17:6,3; 11:7).
This circumstance and event is a common theme in end-time prophecies (John 16:2,4,1; Luke 21:24; Rev.11:2; 13:10).
Christ's advice, is that when faced with falsehood, we must confess Christ's truth, and not seek to "save our souls"...the life and identity we may possess (Matt.10:32; Eph.4:25; Ps.26:4; Mark 8:35). This is also required in the time of the end, when faced with doctrines of demonic deception (1Tim. 4:1; Rev.16:13,14,15,16; 17:14; 19:11,14,8). If we shrink back, we do not please our Master (Heb.10:38; Rev.2:20; 3:1,2,3,4; 2:25; 12:17 D).
Without a death for truth in imitation of Christ (Rom.6:5; Heb.13:13; Rev.20:4; 13:15; 11:7,8);
we will not be sealed as tested and faithful (Rev.6:9,10,11; Rev.19:7,8,14; 6:9,11; 11:7) (Rev.2:10; Luke 22:31; John 12:24,25).

Are we afraid of losing an identity among men?
Our identity/label among men, is symbolized in the Bible by the "garment" we wear (and is seen by others). (Matt.24:15,16,18; 6:28,30; Rev.19:8). We may think we have adequate "covering" while labeled one of "Jehovah's Witnesses", but we do not (Rev.3:17,18). We must seek the identity that will not be taken from us (Rev.16:15; 17:16) (Matt.6:19; Rev.3:5; 6:11; 1Pet. 3:3,4; Rev.12:1; 1:16; Rom.13:14; 2Cor. 4:6) (Col.3:9,12; 2Cor. 5:2,3).
Let us be clothed by our association with the light of Christ, rather than the darkness of demons (Jer.13:16; John 12:35; Isa.50:3; 13:10; Jer.4:28; Rev.20:7,8; 9:2,3,10,11; 13:7,10; Isa.49:9; 42:7) (Isa.60:2; Col.1:13; Heb.3:1; Matt.10:32; Rev.12:17; 2:25; 3:11; Luke 12:36,35).
We are not to be anxious over our identity before men (John 5:44,41; 12:43; Rom.2:29; 1Thess. 2:6) (Mark 8:35; Eph.6:13,14,15,16,17).
God will provide a garment of incorruptible glory, to those who seek to please His face

The bottom line is, we are all fools, especially compared to our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. Our very lives depend upon gaining their graces, and the favor of their wisdom, without which we expire in the dark (Isa.38:17; 1Pet. 2:9; 1Thess. 5:4-6,7-8; Eph.6:11; 2Cor. 10:3-5).
Have you privately petitioned God for confirmation of your perceptions,
by means of a clear sign?
Although you give scriptural accounts of times when God's people hid,
you do not provide scriptures which tell those in our shoes today, to hide.
You do not provide scriptures which reveal when and how a supposed switch from hiding to heralding occurs.
What relevant and related scriptures then, are there, for me to "carefully consider"?
There are scriptures for varying situations, and various scriptural ways to respond appropriately to each of them.
We are not entitled to the liberty of applying them as seems right to us.
The Bible itself tells us when and how to apply them.
Please note Ec.3:
1 There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace."
So then,
how do we know whether it is now time to hide,
or the time to come out of hiding and herald the truth?
Is it time to stay silent and hide inside the Organization (Ps.26:4; Eph.5:11),
or is it time to speak openly and not condone the wickedness we perceive,
and as a consequence, be "persecuted for righteousness sake"? (Matt.5:10,11,12)
Jesus Christ himself, told us when to flee (Matt.24:15,16).
The High Priest has set an example for the Chosen (Heb.4:14).... to follow in his steps closely (1Pet. 2:21; Rev.14:4). Christ was in subjection to God (1Cor. 11:3; John 6:38) and his true disciples are also God's slaves..... not slaves to men (1Cor. 7:23; Gal.1:10). (Rev.7:3; 14:1; Matt.4:10).
He declared the truth openly, knowing the repercussions
(Matt.22:9 literally says "those on the way out of the City",
which tells us that the standard for invitation, is to be
exiting apostate "Jerusalem", which would be the same
ones who are obeying Jesus.... Matt.24:16NIV ; Rev.18:4; Jer.51:6; Isa.48:20).
Jesus promised, that anyone (anointed or not) brave enough to leave
the apostate "city" Jerusalem; would be invited to the marriage feast
of the Lamb

Jesus Christ himself, told us when to flee (Matt.24:15,16).
It is when we perceive /"catch sight" of, the presence of "disgusting thing standing in the holy place"
(pearl-disgustingthing.blogspot.com)
as spoken of at Dan.9:27 and Dan.11:31,32,33;
(pearl-disgustingthing.blogspot.com)
as spoken of at Dan.9:27 and Dan.11:31,32,33;
which reads:
"31 “His armed forces will rise up to desecrate the temple fortress and will abolish the daily sacrifice (Hosea 14:2; Dan.8:11). Then they will set up the abomination that causes desolation. 32 With flattery he will corrupt those who have violated the covenant, but the people who know their God will firmly resist him.
33 “Those who are wise will instruct many (Dan.12:3; Phil.2:15), though for a time they will fall by the sword or be burned or captured or plundered (Rev.13:10,7)."
Please note the previous sections in bold.
Please note that when the "disgusting thing" is perceived and it is then time to leave,
those knowing God will "resist" and "instruct".
They are not said to go and hide, remaining mute.
Not all will come to "perceive" the presence of this abomination
(Matt.13:11; 19:11; Isa.29:11; Luke 8:10; 1Cor. 2:10), because they are blinded by it, and worship it as marvelous, wonderful, and admirable (2Thess. 2:4,9,10,11,12; Rev.13:8,14,15,3).
They become obedient slaves to it's lying doctrines (Rev.13:16; 16:13; Isa.44:20; Ps.144:8; Rom.1:25), rather than obedient slaves to God's Word (Deut.11:18; Rev.7:3).
The Chosen are docile captives among these spiritual Gentiles (Rev.13:7; 11:2; Dan.7:21; 8:11,12,13,24), which after all, was Satan's whole motive for this scenario (Rev.12:15,17; 13:1,7,10; 2:10; Matt.24:24,25).

But once we do perceive the truth (and the abomination/disgusting thing, dominating God's Temple/Holy Place --(1Pet. 2:9,5; Eph.2:20,21,22; 1Cor. 3:16)
(Rev.11:2; 2Thess. 2:4; Dan.7:21; 8:11; Rev.13:7),
...then remaining in mute association with it, is not an option.(Ps.26:4; Eph.4:25). When we recognize the abomination among God's Temple (2Thess. 2:4; 1Cor. 3:16); Christ's direction is to "flee".
(Matt.24:15,16; 2Cor. 6:16,17; Rev.2:20; 18:4,5; Jer.51:9,6,45)
(Eph.4:25; 1Tim. 4:16; 1Cor. 9:16; Matt.5:14,15,16; Eze.33:6; Matt.10:33,32).
The "Temple" priesthood must repent of their captivity/subjection/slavery to the Beast (Joel 1:13; Rev.11:3; 13:7,10), and be restored to function again, according to it's divine purpose

As soon as a chosen priest perceives his captivity and slavery to the disgusting Idol raised up in God's Temple (Rev.13:7,10; 2Cor.11:4,20,12,3; Rom.6:16; Col.3:24), he must repent (Joel 1:13; Rev.11:3; 2:16; 3:2,3; Eze.21:12; Rev.13:10) and resume the service he owes to God
(Ec.5:4; Rev.7:15; 22:3; 20:6; 5:10; Isa.60:1)
despite the consequences
(Phil.3:10; Rom.6:5; Rev.13:15; 11:7; 6:9,10,11; 12:11; 20:4).
Once an anointed one "catches sight" of this abomination, it is not permissible for that chosen priest to remain a silent doormat to the Gentiles who trample him

(Rev.11:2; Matt.5:13; 2Cor. 11:20,3; Isa.51:23; 52:1,2). He owes his subjection to Christ alone as his Lord and Head (Eph.5:23; 2Cor. 11:3; Rev.14:4,5; Ps.26:4; 2John 1:11).
He owes his neighbors the truth (Eph.4:25; Eze.3:18; John 8:32; Mal.2:7).
He owes God his open praise (Ps.78:1,4; 71:17,18; Isa.43:10,21; 1Pet. 2:9; Job 15:18).

Are we to imitate him, or not?
Those "knowing their God" (Dan.11:32) and what he deserves (Isa.42:8; Matt.4:10), will perceive the corrupting force raised up among God's Temple Priesthood, remember the need to be exclusively devoted to God alone (Ex.22:20; Isa.42:8) and "firmly resist" those Gentiles who trample and defile the sanctuary of His Holy Spirit (1Cor. 3:16,17).

What is the anticipated consequence today, of "resisting" and "instructing" that which is not sourced with the wicked steward? (Rev.13:17,15)
What happens when the wicked slave's Gentile army of counterfeit priest "elders"
(Eze.44:6,7,8,9; 2Chron. 13:9; 23:6),
(who have set themselves up, among God's anointed Temple

Rev.11:2; Luke 21:24; Matt.5:13),
are "firmly resisted", and "instructed" in spirit and truth? (Dan.11:32; Rev.13:15; John 16:2; Rev.11:7).

are "firmly resisted", and "instructed" in spirit and truth? (Dan.11:32; Rev.13:15; John 16:2; Rev.11:7).
Jesus well knew the consequence of courageous obedience and loyal chastity to him (*John16:2; Matt.10:36; Mark 8:35; Eph.5:27).

He said that if we were truly awake, our lamp would be burning (Luke 12:35,37; Matt.25:7).
If we have no oil to burn, it is a bad indication (Matt.25:8).
You give scriptures related to hiding, but no scriptural instruction for the remnant to hide,
nor for them to hide the spiritual truths they have been given (Rev.3:18; Matt.25:25), nor to avoid the consequence of shedding light.
They are consistently referred to in prophecy, as courageous heralds in the face of "death" (Rev.6:9,10,11; 12:10,11; 20:4),
bearing tireless witness, by sounding their priestly trumpets

Have you asked God Himself for verification of your convictions?
This is a simple test. Pray as Gideon did, and see how God replies.

Should I and others not flee, because you advise against it?
Only those "leaving the City" will be offered the marriage feast (Matt.22:9)
which tells us that the standard for invitation, is to be
exiting apostate "Jerusalem", which would be the same
ones who are obeying Jesus.... Matt.24:16NIV ; Rev.18:4; Jer.51:6; Isa.48:20).
Jesus promised, that anyone (anointed or not) brave enough to leave
the apostate "city" Jerusalem; would be invited to the marriage feast
of the Lamb
(Matt.22:2,8,9; Luke 14:15; Rev.19:7,9,10; 22:6,7; Rev.1:1; 5:2,5,7; 6:1).
That feast has begun.

Jesus said to "remember the wife of Lot". Why?
Because we are not to hesitate in fleeing, nor even look back at the condemned abomination we leave behind!
Because we are not to hesitate in fleeing, nor even look back at the condemned abomination we leave behind!
Note Luke 17:31-33
"31"On that day, the one who is on the housetop and whose goods are in the house must not go down to take them out; and likewise the one who is in the field must not turn back. 32"Remember Lot's wife. 33"Whoever seeks to keep his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it."
We must not seek to preserve a life related to the counterfeit kingdom Organization of "Jehovah's Witnesses". It is a counterfeit Mt. Zion, and a counterfeit Temple served by counterfeit Gentile priests and princes (Rev.9:7; 13:1) who have stolen their royal authority from Christ's kings (Rev.1:5; 5:10; 17:12,17; 3:11).

Even after the wicked steward Governing Body/False Prophet/dominating Harlot, is removed; the Organization will still be the blasphemous wild beast of Rev.13:1,4.
Some anointed will return after the downfall of the governing body/Harlot....not realizing the full and accurate interpretation of Revelation's identities.
Many interpret the "man of lawlessness" as being the GB (spiritual Jews/priests/called ones/from the "earth" -Rev.13:11; 19:20; 8:10,11), not realizing that the "man of lawlessness", consists of spiritual Gentiles (non-anointed) and is the first wild beast from the "sea" (Rev.13:18,1,7; Isa.57:20; Rev.11:2).

If you have scriptures that specifically tell the remnant in the time of the end, to be silent and hide until some signal; then send them to me, as well as the scriptures that declare what that signal is.
MY FOLLOW UP RESPONSE
The "wilderness" is not a place to hide, but a place of testing and sifting, just as it was for Christ (Matt.4:1). What scripture guides you to believe that the "wilderness" means Christ's footstep followers should be hiding?
Note that the harlot, (who is not hiding), is also in the wilderness, along with the "woman" (Rev.17:3; 12:6).
Note that the "woman" is fed while in the wilderness, for a symbolic period of 1.260 days "away from the face of the serpent"--not "hiding".
Through her testing, she will be protected from failure
Through her testing, she will be protected from failure
(Rev.3:10; Jude 1:24; Matt.19:25,26; Rom.14:4; 8:31; Eph.3:20; 2Pet. 1:10;
2Tim. 4:18; 2Cor. 2:11; Rom.16:25,26,27; 1Pet. 5:10)
God arranges that, through Christ (Heb.1:2; Rev.1:1; 12:6; Eph.5:29; Acts 3:20; Eph.1:9; 3:3,4,9; Col.1:26). Who do these fathers use on earth, to feed the "woman" these life-saving provisions?
[(Note the connection between Rev.12:6 and Rev.11:3 (1,260)].
She cannot be fed "*hidden manna" through the two witnesses, unless those two have already proven victorious (Rev.2:17) and productive.
("They" are not silent and hiding during the very same time that
("They" are not silent and hiding during the very same time that
"she" is being fed in the wilderness. They are "prophesying" -Rev.11:3)
(*"hidden" manna-- John 6:31,51; Mark 8:29,30; John 14:21,22; 6:51,65; Matt.13:11; Col.2:2,3; 4:3; Isa.29:11; Dan.12:10)
We must understand, that not all prove victorious at the same time. Called ones have been being selected and sealed since the first century. Remember....the Daystar rises within individual hearts (Rev.2:28; 2Pet. 1:19) after their victory, and when their time of Satan's testing is accomplished.
"Away from the face of the serpent" is not hiding. It is a protection which being graced with truth affords. Satan seeks to devour with his mouth, and all that comes forth from it
(2Cor. 2:11; 1Pet. 5:8; Rev.12:15; Job 41:14,18,19,20,21,22,34).

Conquering Satan by means of our heralding (Rev.12:10,11), is done individually, and has been occurring in every sealed member of Christ's body, since the first century
(Heb.2:14; Luke 10:17,18; 1John 2:14; Rom.8:37).
If you are not yet at the feet of Christ, nor sitting at the table being served by him (Rev.3:20; Luke 12:37; John 14:23), then you have not yet fed him (Luke 17:7,8,9,10). If we are hiding and silent, we give Christ nothing [Dan.8:11; 12:11; Eze.22:30 (Ps.106:23); Isa.63:5], and Satan has overreached and swallowed us into the power of his abyss of paralyzing death. Here is the connection to Rev.11:3 .... Eze.13:5.
It is time to "repair the wall" of protective truth, so that our Land can stand firm in this day of battle (Eze.22:30). The present wicked steward is contented with whitewashing it's defects (Eze.13:14,15,16; 22:28; Isa.28:15,18).

If you are not using what truth you have been given (Matt.25:22,4), you will not be given more (Matt.13:12).
"Protection" is not the same as restrictive chains. You must be faithful in least, before you are given "much" (Luke 16:10; Matt.25:23). Silence and hiding have nothing to do with fulfilling that prerequisite (Rev.21:8).
If we see faithful brothers of Christ being "killed" by the Steward's minions, we are not to condone it in silence (Prov.17:15; Ex.23:6,7; Prov.18:5; Ps.119:29; 94:21; Rev.20:9; 18:4)

Psalms 94:12,13 -"How blessed is the one whom you instruct, O Lord, the one whom you teach from your law, in order to protect him from times of trouble, until the wicked are destroyed."
Do you think the wicked are gone before we should start preaching?
Do you not see that our protection is faith in God's Word (Eph.6:16; James 2:26), so that we are not defeated by the hour of test?
(Protection is through having and using truth - 2Pet. 1:8, not through hiding)

That preaching is based upon the truth of God's Word (John 8:28; 16:13).
The subduing of Christ's enemies will not happen, if we are silent and hiding.
Your reference to this very scripture (Ps.94:12,13), enforces that the woman in the wilderness is "protected"/"given relief" from the forces of failure (Rev.12:15) by means of God's instruction.
Why do you view "protection" and "hiding" as the same word?
Armor protects a soldier during battle.
It is our knowledge, faith, hope, and our eternal incorruptibly which are guarded during battle.
Isa.43:2,21
Because of our common sin of idolatry (Rev.13:8,7; Dan.7:21; Rev.9:7,4), we are not being protected from battle (2Chron. 16:9; Dan.11:22; 9:25,26,27).

Protection from defeat, is not the same as passivity.
If you are not being fed the marriage feast now, not proclaiming what you are learning, are not prepared for battle;
If you are not being fed the marriage feast now, not proclaiming what you are learning, are not prepared for battle;
then you are not yet sealed, nor have you received the full spirit of the truth, nor are you offering the proper food at the proper time.

(Luke 12:35,36; Matt.5:14,15,16; Luke 8:18; Matt.6:22,23; Luke 11:35,23).
The "light" in you (that tells you to hide silently in the dark) is darkness, and you do not know where you are going. (1Cor. 3:18; Jer.26:5,6; 1Thess. 5:1,2,4,5,6,7,12,19,20; John 12:35,36) You are already being called out of Egypt! When will you arise?

We do not want to support the accusation that we don't care about God, the Truth, or our former associates
(Jonah 4:11,10; 1Cor. 3:8,9; 2Cor. 6:1; 5:19,20; Mark 16:20; Phil.2:15; 1Thess. 5:14; Acts 2:40; 20:20,21,22,23,24; Isa.61:3; Matt.15:13; Acts 17:29,30,31; Rom.1:25; Rev.13:8).
The Organization uses 1John 2:19 to slander our motive.
Yet Jesus himself "went out" from the religious system of his day (Matt.23:38,39)
[and also commands us to
(Matt.24:16; Rev.18:4,5; 2John 1:10,11; Eph.5:6,7; 2Tim.3:5; 2Cor.6:17,18)];
but not before he bore thorough witness to them!
(Matt.15:24; 10:6; Acts 3:26; Luke 19:41,42,43,44)
We must do the same (Eze.33:6; Eph.4:15,25).
1John 2:19 is not speaking of leaving the religious system. It's true reference is speaking of the body of Christ, and the Called and Chosen ones who leave union with that body
(Col.2:19; 2Cor. 11:4,13; Rev.2:20; 1Tim. 4:1;
Rev.16:13,14,15; 1John 4:1; Matt.24:24,25)
according to how God has arranged it (1Cor. 12:18,28,29,8; Rom.12:6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16).
We must care about God's commands.
They include, not remaining with the wicked (2Cor. 6:17,18; Rev.18:4; Ps.26:4).
But they also include giving an open witness to all we can, before departing (Eze.2:7,6; 33:6; Acts 20:25,26,27; 13:40,41).
But the Beast/Organization forbids the dispensing ("buying and selling")(Rev.13:17)
of any spiritual provisions from Christ (Rev.3:18).

"Moses" is not a baby anymore.
The time that has passed by is sufficient for growth in the mind of Christ
(Gal.4:19; 1Cor. 3:1,2; 2Pet. 3:18; Col.1:10; 1Cor. 2:16; 14:20; Eph.4:13,14,15).
Do you see the "disgusting thing standing in the holy place", or not?
What did Jesus say?
