A section from the post: "Head Wound Comment"
as follows:
"What is this "head" that receives what appears to be a lethal wound, that seems so miraculously healed, that hoards are moved to follow it with admiration (Rev.13:3)? The heads are interpreted for us, at Rev.17:9,10,11. Briefly...the seven heads are seven kings that are ruling "heads" to the Beast Organization. These are separate from the "ten kings" who are merely "horns" of power, but do not rule (Rev.17:12,3).
One of these ruling heads, seems to be destroyed, but is restored.
If the last Beast truly is the WT, then we could expect that one of it's body of rulers/steward (a "head"), experienced a lethal blow, only to be restored, and that this restoration caused followers of the Beast to place their confidence in it.
If you would like to read the historical account of this happening to a ruling head of the WT, you can read it in the Organization's own literature. See the "Revelation Climax" book, on pages 167-170 (read par.19,21,23,24)(See their illustration on the top of page 167), where the Watchtower falsely claims that the death-like blow to it's leaders, was the fulfillment of the death of the two witnesses of Rev.11:3,7. In truth, this blow to the ruling leaders of that period, was in actuality, the death-stroke to one of it's (The Watchtower- beast) "heads".

Another example taken from the organization's own literature, is found in the book, Jehovah's Witnesses in the Divine Purpose.
Inside the cover we see illustrated a table of their historic chronology. Under the years of 1918 and 1919, the themselves ascribe the experience of their ruling head, as a death and revival.
Rev.13:3Truly, "J.W.'s" "follow the Beast with admiration", partly because of this seeming miraculous "resurrection" of the ruling headship of that period. Such a rescue from impotence, gave that administration the appearance of divine backing and approval. This gave the Beast an air of invincibility (Rev.13:4). So much of the "Watchtower's" claim of divine approval and standing today (appointed as the faithful slave over all Christ's belongings), rests upon the premise that
Christ approved of the spiritual "food" they were serving back then, as being truth;and that this supposed "resurrection" and divine healing of their "death blow",
are confirmation of that approval and status, of being selected as the "faithful and discreet slave" in 1918-19, when their "death-stroke" was healed.
Since "The Finished Mystery" was the food being served back then; How could it be the basis for appointment as "faithful slave", according to their claim?
[For a description of what that book contained: ("Finished Mystery" comments)
^That page was suspiciously removed. Here is another: LINK]
How could they have truly been the fulfillment of the "two witnesses" while teaching error? (Rev.11:3). Jesus does not cause his slaves to preach deceiving error and lying doctrine.
The claim to being the "two witnesses" and the "faithful slave" (Matt.24:5) is false, regarding the WT leaders of 1914-1919. Their "deathblow" then, is not the fulfillment of Rev.11:7, but is the fulfillment of Rev.13:3,11.
The events that befell that governing body of the past, were of Satanic design...a fabrication...a counterfeit fulfillment of the two-witness prophecy (Rev.13:11) (Rev.11:7,11,12)...aimed at accomplishing just what we see it has accomplished...a seeming divine endorsement of Satan's Wild Beast and it's leadership of false prophets/7 heads. Satan preempted the genuine death of the two witnesses, with this fabricated counterfeit.

The authentic death of the "two witnesses", would be at the hands of this same false prophet
and it's Wild Beast/counterfeit priesthood/counterfeit Mt.Zion (Rev.11:3,7).
By Satanic distraction and deception, the genuine deaths of the "two witnesses" to later follow, would be viewed just as prophesied...
punishment due for apostasy
(Rev.11:9; Hosea1:10; Rom.9:26,27; Isa.66:5; John16:2; Mark13:13; Rev.11:8,9,10; Matt.5:11-12).
It has come to pass...just as God Himself foretold...and just as Christ has revealed to us, for our protection (Rev.1:1,3; 22:6,7,10,11,12)."

The Finished Mystery book that was originally printed in 1917 was the Society's first attempt at covering Revelation. J.F.Rutherford edited it and approved of it. The book was still in print up to 1927. He revised it in 1926 when things written in the first printing proved to be wrong. If Jesus approved of the rulers of the Watchtower and appointed them over all his belonging back then, does that mean Jesus approved of the book "The Finished Mystery" as food at the proper time? I think if you look at what they were teaching as "the truth" back then you would be amazed at how wrong it was. I was looking for information on The Finished Mystery and I came across this:

It has some interesting highlights from the book. No wonder the Organization doesn't use this to study with people anymore. This isn't a matter of old light getting brighter and becoming new light...this stuff is just plain wrong.
There are scriptures about God being light with no darkness at all (1 John 1:5) (James 1:17) (Ephesians 5:8-12)
In an older WT they wrote this:
"If we were following a man undoubtedly it would be different with us; undoubtedly one human idea would contradict another and that which was light one or two or six years ago would be regarded as darkness now;… But with God there is no variableness, neither shadow of turning, and so it is with truth; any knowledge or light coming from God must be like its author. A new view of truth never can contradict a former truth. "New Light" never extinguishes older "light" but adds to it…" Zion's Watch Tower 1881 Feb pp.3,188
So then Why doesn't the WT today regard "Old Light" that is obviously not true as the darkness that it truly is?
(Matt 6:23) New Living Translation puts it this way.
"But when your eye is bad, your whole body is filled with darkness. And if the light you think you have is actually darkness, how deep that darkness is!"
Obadiah
"old Light"..lol
ReplyDeleteHis True Light/Truth never changes
Jas 1:17 "Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow."
Shadows are caused by shifting light from the sun as earth follows its axis around it. So shadows are formed and change on earth because of US moving around the Sun. Yet with Jah,like the Sun,His light comes from one fixed point:Truth. Unlike the Suns light that moves and thus shadows are formed and change FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE because WE ARE MOVING,Jahs Light does not change positions or variate . It has a fixed point so that shadows are NOT formed or move...and thus no "variation" of His Light is possible. Truth/Light is always from one fixed position. Like being on the earth,humans may see shadows,but that doesn mean the Sun moves or causes shadows. Its light is constant. Its what goes on here that causes the shadows and variations having to with light...and OUR shifting perspective in relation to light.
This what we see coming from the GB. Their "light" is not from Jahs one fixed position. They betrayed their covenant...and thus their Love of Light changed. They "moved" from Jahs fixed position...and this is why there ARE constant "variations" and "shifting shadows" coming from them. They left love of Truth and Light...and so became like earth,moving around the Sun causing so many “shifting shadows” and “variations” that are the result of human perspectives.
Yet Jws are brainwashed to accept changes as if there is a such a thing as "Old truth". As Light is always light,truth is always truth. Jah does not change..yet JWs have had to face so much change,that "old light"..therefore "Old truth" is accepted as reality.
Number 23:19 God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?
