What is Armageddon?

I received a letter which asked in part...

"I don't know how to ask this but please put it in a nicer way because it isn't meant to be disrespectful or anything, but when are the other anointed going to progress, or be a bit more united?"

My Reply:

About your question concerning the other anointed,
and their collecting together in unified thought by means of Holy Spirit...
My work facilitates that goal, as does all published Truth. But the oneness Christ prayed for (John 17:21), will not be fully accomplished until God's timing concludes this period of testing.
Each anointed one must now choose the basis for their faith, teachings, and deeds (Matt.25:1-2).

Do you remember what Jesus said, at Mark 13:7-8?...
"When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come."
If you read the article at pearl-sign.blogspot.com , under the heading "Warfare";
then you know that Jesus was not speaking of worldly war under Satan's dominion; but rather, one of the "labor pains" of the Kingdom's birth (Mark 13:8). Satan's world is not giving birth to the Kingdom 
(Job 14:4)(John 16:21-22), but the "woman", is (Rev.12:2). The list of "labor pains" then, involve the anointed. These must be at war with one another during the period of "Armageddon",
just as Jesus himself said above..."such things (war) must happen" (Dan.11:36; Matt.24:6).
WHY?
We get our answer at 1Cor.11:19;
"For there must also be factions among you, so that those who are approved may become evident among you."
See also Matt.18:7...
"Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble!(false doctrines from those not approved/rotten fruit) Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come!"

I hope you can discern from the above scriptures, that the period of Armageddon is a necessary battle between the false prophets (1Tim.4:1; Rev.16:13; Matt.7:15; 24:24-25; Mark 13:5; Rev.13:11) and the true (2Tim.2:15; John 16:13; Rev.6:9-10,11; 11:3-4).
By means of this final battle between the seed (Gen.3:15; Rev.12:7), God judges each chosen anointed one/messenger "angel", and whether their "fruit"/teachings, are really sourced with Christ or Satan (Joel 3:9,11-12,14,16,13; Rev.14:19; Deut.32:32-33,18-19,20,22; Luke 12:49) or (John 15:5; Matt.7:17,20) (Matt.12:33-34; Luke 6:45; Rev.16:13-14,16; 17:18,12-13,14). 
As each prophet/"tree" bears "fruit"/teachings,
and this war of words escalates; God foresaw that the ruling wicked would persecute the faithful, on the basis of false doctrines (Matt.24:49; Eze.38:21;  1John 3:12; Rev.13:15; 11:3,7; 16:13-14; 17:14; 19:11,14; 6:9,11; John 16:2; Matt.5:11-12; 23:37; Acts 7:52; Rev.11:8; Dan.7:21,23,25; Dan.8:12). 

The faithful retaliate with the sword of God's Word of Truth 

(Dan.11:32-33;  2Cor.10:4-5; 6:7; Heb.4:12; Eph.6:17; Rev.19:19,15,20; 11:5,3-4). 

As this battle between truth and lies occurs, the final harvest/judgment of "fruit"/teachings/words occurs (Matt.12:36-37,34-35; Prov.18:21; Matt.7:17) in the symbolic "valley of decision" 

(Heb.4:13; Rom.14:12;  2Cor.5:10; Prov.16:4; Rev.22:12; Dan.7:22). 

God will also pass judgment on those deeds of mistreatment by the wicked steward/false prophet/final Harlot through his Gentile drunkards/Beast/man of lawlessness...

(Joel 3:2,6-7,17,19,21; Rev.6:10,9; 11:2,7; 13:15; 17:6; 18:24; Matt.23:35,37,38; 25:45,46) 

...to His faithful witnesses. (Rev.13:12,14; 19:20; Dan.8:24;  2Thess.2:4)

(http://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2013/07/what-is-worst-sin-wt-has-done.html)
(pearl-disgustingthing.blogspot.com)

To review why this battle between divine truth and demonic lies "must occur"...
It is to establish and seal those worthy of inheriting the kingdom,
and those not,
amid the greatest spiritual testing/sorting/tribulation, ever to occur.
(http://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-greatest-tribulation-why.html)
   This is the time for of the harvest of anointed wheat (Rev.14:15-16) (LINK).
This battle separates
the faithful 
from the chaff/false prophets/unfaithful slaves/Satan's messenger "angels".

That clarifying distinction (Mal.3:18;  2Cor.13:5; 10:18;  1John 4:1;  1Tim.4:1;  1Cor.4:5-6; 3:13; Rom.12:2; Job 12:22) occurs due to the evident spirit being expressed by the mouth of each prophet.
(Eph.2:2; Rev.16:13-14)  

(Matt.10:20,26;  1Thess.2:13;  2Cor.13:3; Matt.7:20).
These two inner spirits ...conflict with each other 

(Gal.5:16,17;  2Cor.10:2-3,4-5,6-7).

Revelation depicts this battle repeatedly 

(Rev.2:2,9-10,13,16; 3:12,21; 6:2-3,4,9,15; 8:13; 9:5-6,7,16; 11:2,5,7,12,18; 12:4,7,11,15,17; 13:6-7,10,13,15-16,17; 14:19; 15:2,7; 16:1-2,3-4,5-6,10,13,14,16; 17:6,12-13,14,16; 18:6,21,24; 19:11,14-15,17-18,19-20,21; 20:7-8,9,15).

This final battle is the culmination of Gen.3:15.
The divine judgment rendered, final (Isa.10:22; Matt.7:14,21-22,23; 25:11-12,13; Rom.9:28; Dan.7:22,18), unlike the "Watchtower's" version of another battle taking place, a thousand years after Armageddon.

The time will arrive, (after all have been sealed on the side of their choosing),
that this curse of warfare among the Chosen, will fulfill it's segregating purpose (Rev.22:3-4,5).
"Babylon the Great" ("Babylon" means "confusion") will finally be gone,
and so there will no longer be "darkness". The pure light of truth from God,
will illuminate the Holy City fully and permanently. Then the knowledge of God will
saturate the kingdom with a unity of understanding 

(Jer.31:33-34; Hab.2:14; Isa.11:9).

But that day will not come until God's just purposes are accomplished,
including the manifestation of the faithful (Rom.8:19,14; Mal.3:17-18)
through this present spiritual warfare among the chosen.

Many things stand in the way of those not yet sealed.
Satan's agents are busy holding them captive and trampled (Rev.9:3-10; 13:8; 11:2).
"Strongly entrenched things" (2Cor.10:4-5) have held their minds captive to lies...doctrines that many have taken with them from "Jerusalem".
Even those who have left the Organization still cling to false doctrines.
Jesus made clear that we are to take nothing along when we flee apostate "Jerusalem" (Luke 17:30-31,32-33;  2Cor.6:17; Isa.43:18-19),
because the new wine/understandings sourced in Holy Spirit (Mark 2:22; John 15:5)
and due to be revealed near the end (Dan.12:4,10; Rev.20:12),
require that we leave behind the end-time mental subjection to the "Beast" (Rev.13:16) (The Beast's mark on our "forehead")
and it's monopoly of tainted spiritual provisions 

(Rev.6:6; 8:10-11; Rev.13:11;  1Tim.4:1; Rev.16:13-14;  1John 4:1; Rev.13:17,16). 

We must instead, be loyal and obedient to God's truths (Deut.6:6,8).

When Jesus does return, the first thing he must do is cleanse the Chosen Ones of these pervasive deceptions (Mal.3:2-3,4; Rev.3:18; 9:14) through his prophetic messengers (Mal.3:1; Rev.11:3-4; Zech.4:8-9,14; Isa.55:1; Matt.26:29).

In the time of the end, Satan's Great Tribulation deceives the remnant of anointed ones (Matt.24:4,24-25,22; Rev.13:7; 12:4; Eze.22:30; Isa.63:3; Rev.19:15).
Their only hope for salvation, is to lose all they thought they knew (1Cor.3:18; 8:2; Rev.3:17-18,19-20; Matt.25:10; Luke 12:37)
so that they are ready to accept the opening of the seven seals 

(Luke 12:36-37; Rev.2:17,28; 16:15; 19:9; 5:5; John 15:15; Rev.20:12). (pearl-newscrolls.blogspot.com)

How would the faithful-inclined Chosen ones, receive this vital information?
This is the job of those chosen to be prophets 

(Rev.1:1; 10:7,8; 22:6; Amos 3:7;  1Cor.12:28-29; 14:32-33; Eph.2:20,10; Num.12:6).
Yet not all will heed those chosen to declare the final revealed truths

 (Zech.4:9; Rev.1:1; 22:6,9-10; 11:3-4,10; Acts 7:52; Matt.5:12; John 16:13-14,15).
Each Chosen one will decide which Master will seal their heart,
and which spirit they will obey and serve.
  The Chosen Ones will progress (or not), according to their heart condition,
and the action God's spirit takes toward it, whether mercy or abandonment (Luke 17:34-35,37; Rev.12:14,6; 11:3).
Those who progress must first be refined, by losing their pride and all things dear to them,
to accept the discipline of Truth.
(Jer.26:4-5,6; 25:4; 29:19; 44:4; Ezra 9:10-11; Rev.3:19)
Those who refuse to listen, will become firm in their defiant and proud teaching of lies, "bought" from those who "sell" them (Matt.25:9-10,11-12; Rev.13:17), and be sealed as agents of such.

  As all faithful Chosen Ones become yielding and harmonious with the fullness of God's spirit and it's freshly revealed Truth during the time of the end; 
they will naturally become more unified with one another.

Thank you for your good question.
I hope the cited scriptures have answered it for you,
combined with the grace of God's Spirit 

(John 4:23-24; John 17:17; Matt.10:20).
I know this concept of Armageddon is drastically different than what we all have been taught, 
but new wine must be put in new wineskins.

Searching

I have received a few letters recently, asking me about the hope for those not anointed, and what help there may now be for these. I have posted some of my response, in the hope that the scriptures within will help those who have the same questions.
-----------------------------------------
MY RESPONSE:

Thank you for your wonderful letter.
Although you say that
"Those of us out here who don't have the help of  holy spirit are at a great loss against the great deceiver and his allies";
I tell you that all of loyal heart have the help of Holy Spirit. (Luke 11:13)

While those who are not anointed, have not had holy spirit poured into their hearts to teach them directly... (1John 2:27; Rom.5:5)
Holy Spirit IS actively helping everyone desiring to live with godly devotion (Psalm 18:25).
This is the whole purpose of the Chosen Ones becoming anointed and receiving spiritual light---
so that they can shine it into the world to save those who listen to them. 

(Matt.5:14,16;  1Tim.4:16; John 13:20;  1Pet.2:9; Psalm 18:28; Isa.43:10,21).

I believe the "Organization" is where Satan's throne resides (Rev.2:9,10,13).
His greatest dominion, is over the chosen ones (2Thess.2:4; Rev.9:3,5,6,11; 13:7) ...those chosen to take Satan's "world" and position over it,  from him (Rev.12:11,10,7,8).

I do not know how long it has been since the organization became Satan's synagogue (Rev.2:9; 3:9) (Isa.63:18;  2Chron.13:9; Eze.44:8), but as it now is; the anointed are able to become sealed through this gauntlet of sufferings and testing....
just as Christ "learned obedience from the things he suffered" unjustly. 

(Heb.5:8; Rom.8:17; Phil.3:10;  2Tim.2:12 a; Rom.6:3)
God is allowing it (Job 2:6; Rev.9:5) due to Satan's accusation,
that each heir must be subjected to his tests (Luke 22:31; Matt.4:1). Satan is exploiting God's perfect justice, and accordingly insists that he has the right to test those Chosen, before they are allowed to be given a position which "conquers" Satan (Job 1:10; 2:4; Rev.12:10 b).
After all, if they turn out to be just as proud and selfish as Satan, why should the world be taken from the wicked one? (1John 5:19)
Gradually, the full number will be gathered in despite this; and despite those who do fall. 

(Rev.14:1; Eph.1:10; Rev.8:10,11; 9:1; 2:5)

I pray for all those in the earth who are persistently searching for truth,
because God's spirit has opened the eyes of their heart.
He greatly desires to be worshiped by lovers of spirit and truth,
and will not forsake those who search for it. (John 4:23,24; Matt.7:7,8)
Continue in these things...be courageous, strong, and wise.
For, we do not have long to wait for our deliverance (Luke 21:28).
Thank you so much for your encouraging letter.
Love in Christ,
Pearl

A LETTER FROM A READER:

I have always wanted to know truth and even at a young age was able to discern that pagan holidays were not pleasing to God. I guess my quest for truth was gradual and I am not even sure when I really started piecing

things together ,but at some point I realized that people were made to live in a paradise. I think I was eight at the time. From that point I wanted to live on earth and I could not even fathom going to heaven as I was taught in the Catholic Church. I left that church and moved on ; I tried many different religions and I saw gleams of the basic teachings ,the moral issues ,but most missed the importance of truth. I never believed in Hell fire and neither did my mother. My mother committed suicide when I was twelve and that really set me back for a while. Finally I came in contact with Jehovah's witnesses and they taught many things I already knew were required by God in order to be fulfilling the two greatest commands. From the very start though I saw discrepancies. I wrote the society as they called themselves then and they answered back however it amazed me that the could not get truths  that were stated simply in the scriptures. How could I discern more than those with the direct guidance of Holy Spirit? I was told to wait on Jehovah and not run ahead. I did .

  About 3 years ago I started researching secret societies as my grandfather had been one of the Knights of Columbus. What I learned during that time brought me in contact with Charles Russel's bloodline and from there the ties to the thirteen wealthiest  families. It was  during this time that I really came to understand his ties to the pyramids (Giza) and the occult nature of the 1914 calculation based upon the Great Giza Pyramid. I could not reconcile myself to the fact that Jehovah would be behind any such sort of uncanny methods, also I knew that no one knows the day or hour ....only the one whose name is signified by the Tetragrammaton.  I found that the society first thought 1914 would bring Armageddon ,when that didn't happen they changed it to the invisible presence. I also found that Rutherford condemned the use of the pyramid even stating that it was more likely Satan's stone witness rather than God's. I wrote the society asking them how they could denounce the method as Satan's handiwork, but hold on to the date derived by this method.  There was more said ,but anonymously sent.

 I have believed that Satan an his Luciferian  seed have had a hold on this organization from the start. There are to many links to the Mason's even Russell said that people would ask him about it ,he didn't know why. He has a pyramid erected by his brothers and a Masonic lodge right across from his grave sight. I must say I have never been there ,but others have filmed it. Even if it is all coincidence the least one could deduce is that he was a tool for Satan in connection with 1914. I have come to believe now that these men are in full control and that not one of the governing body is truly anointed . I know about there U.N. affiliation and the fact is they had no need to register at all with them.

 It leaves me not trusting in anyone because of all that I have seen. I prayed to Jehovah to lead me in all truth. I am not anointed , I have no heavenly calling nor the desire to be a new creation. I have read your blogs ,well most of them and I can see truth in many parts. I can grasp much but some my mind can not wrap around. I believe you understand much. I wanted to thank you for taking your time to put this information out there. I truly hope for others like me that Jehovah guides them to ones like you who are fighting for truth. I am sad I raised my children in and around these false prophets and all the while thinking I had given them something spiritually good. My heart aches because of this. My children have not been taught by me to follow any man made organization as if a substitute for Jehovah. Two of them realize the push toward worship of the governing body and they realize the lies they been fed ,the other really wants to serve Jehovah and thinks that he is doing that. I pray he will wake up before it is too late. Jehovah knows my heart and that I only wanted to teach them truth. 

I tell Jehovah my heart breaks for ones like myself and I pray they are not afraid to break away from falsehood. I know the confusion and the pain and anger,it is just as if one had been in an abusive relationship and then I realize they are. May Jehovah have mercy upon these people ,may he grant them wisdom and may he give them strength. Those of us out here who don't have the help of  holy spirit are at a great loss against the great deceiver and his allies . Please pray for these ones according to God's will. I know he said he would grant it in Jesus name. 1 John 5: 14,15.  

Thank you very much  for all the information and effort you have gone to.  I will pray to Jehovah and thank him and ask him to continue to lead us in all truth.

Coping with the Great Tribulation

Below is my reply to a letter I received. I have posted it for the beneficial scriptural thoughts it contains.
It gives a few constructive ways to respond to our time of "sifting", so that we can make best use of this limited time.

    For those who would like to listen to our meeting coverage of this post, I will link those recordings in each section that is covered.

    [First section recording:

My Reply:
Hello,
I am glad to hear that you are making progress in Bible truths, despite our indoctrination from the "synagogue of Satan". God has foretold and promised, that righteous people will be "taken" to an invitation to the "marriage feast", which is served outside the apostate "city" (wherein the "disgusting thing" reigns -(dsgstg-thng)
[(Jer.3:14-15; Luke 17:34,35,37; Matt.24:28; Rev.11:8; 6:9]
[(keep-awake)] (Matt.24:16; Eze.36:8) 
[(Matt.22:9-10 Greek: "diexodous")(LINK)] [(LINK)]. 
Yet once outside the "city", we are still under test in the "wilderness". Some will fall, even after their recognizing the identity of the "Beast", and their expulsion from it. So I continue to pray for these whom God has blessed with eyes and ears... those granted the ability to discern the road to life and the road leading to death.
The idolizing of the Beast's image, becomes increasingly blatant as we progress through the fulfillment of prophecy.
It is now clear to me, that the tribulating test which first broke out on the anointed (1Pet.4:17-18), has now broken out on the rest... "JW's" included (earth, trees, sea)(1Cor.3:9; Matt.7:17; Isa.57:20; Rev.13:7). Reports and experiences are increasingly heard online, on FaceBook, and at forums... about abuse by "elders", and the harm being caused by the un-scriptural doctrine, policies and procedures  of  the G.B. 
(Great Tribulation -what and why). 
We know that "few" are able by the grace of God, to break free of their deceptive philosophies, principles, and traditions which hold them captive (Col.2:8; Rev.13:10; Luke 21:24; Dan.11:33). We who have broken free (John 8:32; Luke 4:18-19,20-21; Heb.2:15), are still experiencing opposition. But we live in hope, knowing that in comparison to our eternal reward, the present troubles, are "momentary and light" (2Cor.4:17-18).

As the truths of the scrolls are opened and presented at the marriage feast (Rev.20:12; Dan.12:4,10,3; Phil.2:15);
Satan responds with the opening of his lying mouth (Rev.12:15; 16:13-14), and an increase of demonic deception, 
to "whitewash the wall" of WT doctrine which defends the city of  harlotry. 
That battle between truth and lies, is the essence of Armageddon (Rev.16:14; 20:7-8; 17:14). 

(https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2018/01/armageddon.html) 

I hope you will continue to devote yourself to taking in the proper food at the proper time, now being made available, so as to be equipped to respond to this time of test, in accord with gaining the approval of God. I will refer you (by means of links) to further spiritual knowledge and support, in response to your comments.

Regarding your feelings about shunning; Jesus knew the remnant would be shunned (Matt.5:11-12; 10:22; John 16:2). All Christ's faithful brothers (and those who receive them), are persecuted (2Tim.3:12; Heb.10:32-33,34). That is why Jesus declared that his judgment of life or death, is based upon the treatment given the least of them. Will members of those claiming discipleship, care for such persecuted ones, or shun them? (Matt.25:45-46) We are told that such love for the members of the Body of Christ, will "cool" (Matt.24:12;  2Tim.3:1-2,3-4,5), even though such love, is the hallmark of Christians, and Christ's greatest command (John 13:35,34; Heb.6:10). Even the steward comes to hate and beat his faithful brothers. (LINK)

Christ assured us that the "generation" (Greek:"race"  1Pet.2:10; 1:23; Ps.112:2) of faithful chosen, will "not disappear", until all things foretold about them, are fulfilled 
(Luke 21:32; Dan.12:7; Rev.13:7; Jer.31:11; 15:21; Isa.48:20; 51:11; Zech.9:16; Rev.1:20; 10:5; Eph.2:6) (Ps.40:2; 69:2; Rev.12:15,14,6; 11:3; etc.). 
So you are certainly correct in your belief, that God will not leave His sheep without caring shepherds (John 10:11; 21:17;  2Cor.5:20). Yet Jesus told us, that along with fine shepherds, there will also be wicked shepherds present... growing alongside the faithful (Matt.13:30; Mark 8:38). He admonishes us, to carefully discern between the two sorts of stewards (Luke 12:42-43,44-45,46) before we follow their voice (Matt.7:15-16,17-18,19-20;  1John 4:1).

Although your daughter now claims that she will not cut you off, be advised that she will be pressured to do so under threat of expulsion, and at that point, she may succumb to the pressure. The sword of truth, divides (Heb.4:12; Matt.10:34; Luke 12:51-52,53) (Rev.13:15-16,17)("Buying and Selling").

I wanted to respond especially, to your words....
"So then I realized the fight to get as many people out (which is my goal) as I can with Yah and Jesus' help, is going to be a real fight. 
I' m planning to copy the scriptures  you quoted and your reasoning to use in family study with my daughter so she can wake up too. My friend wants to join us, when I expressed to her I wanted to study more to memorize scriptures. I have to be really careful, so I can help as many as possible before I too am disfellowshiped. So, I am going to need your help on how to proceed."

I tell you truly;
It is not likely that any will respond positively to your testimony. This is one of the reasons why the last prophets, prophesy in "sackcloth" (Rev.11:3; Isa.22:12; Jer.9:1; 13:17)<(Col.2:8;  2Cor.11:20) ; (Rom.10:18, 21; Luke 13:23-24; Matt.7:14). 

Yet despite their rebelliousness against truth, we are to give them warning (Eze.2:7; Rev.11:10). Their ability to hear that warning... 

       (Matt.13:16; 16:17; 13:11) (Jer.24:7) (LINK), 

...or not (Rom.11:8-10; Matt.13:15; Isa.29:9-10) (Matt.15:8), 

is determined by God who reads the heart (Heb.4:13; Jer.17:10; Ps.44:21). 

"All the earth" worships the Beast, and few are saved from that end-time Idolatry (Rev.13:8; Jer.3:14; Luke 17:34,35,37) despite being warned (Ps.19:1-2,3-4; Dan.5:27; Isa.28:7,18-19,20-22)
( keep-awake ) ( Sleeping )

If we are among those blessed with insight and recognition; it rests upon us to stand up and confess the truth of Christ (Luke 12:8) to our "neighbors" (Eph.4:25). We expect the "death" that results (Rev.12:10-11; Mark 8:35).
Please read these links,

You also ask:
"I also wanted to talk to you about organizing disfellowshipped ones to use signs at the assemblies to direct faithful anointed out of the org to Jesus Christ and your blog."

The annual assembly is now finished for this year. But there are local circuit assemblies and other meetings, which may also be demonstrated at, as well as construction sites and the annual meeting. Be forewarned that the Beast has also prepared to deal with demonstrators. For this reason, it is best to apply the suggestions the anointed are giving. Since the "elders" and "ministerial servants" have been told to rally between us and our audience (Dan.11:45; Rev.13:17). 

These videos were filmed the following year after we demonstrated. They depict the new response to demonstrators... I believe as their reaction to our message the year before. Our message really hit a nerve.
    [see examples: (you can mute the videos)
    (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6M2pFdV5iQ) 
    (skip to view 5:53 ; 17:00 ; and 32:27 - un-mute to hear singing to drown out the demonstrator)

(First minute)], 
(PLEASE NOTE: These videos are not a depiction of our demonstration (nor of our beliefs, message, or behavior), nor should we imitate the reviling of our enemies. I present the video, only to display the forces we face.)

Our sign must be held high, well over their heads, in the line of sight of those being dismissed from the assembly. Whatever construction design we create for our sign, it should keep this consideration in mind. 

Despite our formidable foe (Rev.13:4), we can do our best, trusting that God will reach the few whom He may rescue.
(Ex.14:14;  2Pet.2:9;  2Chron.20:15; Isa.41:10-11,12-13,14-15,16; Dan.2:34-35,44-45; Rom.8:31; 16:20)
Then also, there is next year's Summer assemblies.
Here are some links, with suggestions...
        (The-Final-Witness) <<(please read all posts)

Although you have given me your phone numbers, 
I likely will not be calling you. I hope you are not offended or hurt by this necessary decision. I will try to explain why I must choose it.
  Jesus well knew the treachery his brothers would face in the "world" (Matt.10:16; Micah 7:5) (John 17:15). Those whom we meet online, are not fully visible to us, and insincere people can easily mis-represent themselves (Dan.11:34)(2Tim.3:13). 
Should we do what we can, to be "cautious as serpents"? Or, should we simply trust, that we have God's protection? 
Christians imitate Jesus. 
Did he simply trust that God would protect him, even if he took chances with his welfare, believing that God would protect His purpose for Christ? Notice that the devil tried to get Jesus to think that way, and take note of Jesus' response...

"Then the devil took Him into the holy city and had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, 
and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down; for it is written,
‘He will command His angels concerning You’;
and ‘On their hands they will bear You up,
So that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’”
Jesus said to him, “It is also written, ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’” (Matt.4:5-6,7)

In imitation of Jesus, we all must not presume upon God, nor test out His protection of us by carelessness or ego.
I therefore, do not take chances by exposing my work to any possible danger. I know I can rely on God's support and protection of my spirit, so long as I do all I can, to keep it. I hope you understand.
That being said,
we can have video conferences, and you can always contact me via the "contact form" on the Main Page of the BLOG.

And finally you said;
"I threw up my hands to Jah when I found out the anointed will be coming down to earth to instruct us!! What a loving arrangement!"
(-materialize-) (holy-city) 
(Gen.28:12-13,14,17; Gal.3:29; Eph.2:19; Rom.8:19-20,21; Rev.21:2,4; 22:2; 5:10) 
(John 1:51; Matt.22:30; Rev.1:20)
This is not only the arrangement of the future Kingdom of God (Heb.1:6 (NKJV), but also the arrangement of His Temple now present, which Temple is now found within the hearts of His faithful anointed priests. God's instruction, comes through them 
(Mal.2:7;  1Pet.2:9; Matt.10:20; Rev.5:10; 21:3;  1Cor.3:16; Eph.2:20-21,22) 
(Rom.5:5; John 4:21,23; Heb.10:16; John 4:14; 7:38-39; Rev.22:17).

Thank you for your letter, and my prayers are with all those graced by the spirit of our God, to find and remain upon the road to life.
Love in Christ,

REVIEW:
Ways to cope with the Great Tribulation

1. Continue in faithfulness and learning, even after expulsion into the "wilderness".
2. Credit God for your sobriety and discernment, and thank Him.
3. Be loving to all those leaving the "City", share the truth with them, and love even our enemies in that way.
4. Be prepared to lose family members for the sake of Christ's truth, as it is now being freely revealed to anyone interested 

    [Matt.10:37; Mark 10:29-30) (Matt.22:9-10; Rev.19:9 (NIV)].

    (https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2014/07/a-mans-enemies-will-be-persons-of-his.html)
5. Expect to be "killed" (sentenced as worthy of eternal death) for loyalty to Truth (Mark 8:35) (symbolic-death). When giving your testimony, prepare to be effective (1Cor.14:8; 9:26).
6. Use caution and discretion while on-line. Do not presume upon divine protection. While showing kindness and love to all, exercise caution and protective restraint. Do not provide personal identity information.
7. Avail yourself of the association and support of others of faith, realizing with great gratitude and joy, that our God has been a Faithful Shepherd (Psalm 23). He has brought to us light and life during the darkest spiritual era (Isa.60:2-3; 2:2-3), and given us the spring rain in it's season (Job 29:23; Prov.16:15; Hosea 6:3; Isa.45:8; Ps.72:6; 147:8; Zech.10:1; James 5:7-8,9-10,11,17-18).

Memorial or Marriage Feast ?

I received a letter containing various questions.
My response will follow after the letter.

LETTER RECEIVED AND QUESTIONS:

I have only recently stumbled upon your blog via an individual who made a comment on a Youtube video regarding JWs.  I was raised as a JW, experiencing a very depressing and emotionally abusive childhood.  After I married and when my two children were in their teens, I left the Watchtower in 2004, not disfellowshipped nor disassociated myself, just faded away…being very depressed and anxious all my life, and simply exhausted.  It took many, many years to clear my head.  I had always known in my heart that God could not treat his people in the manner in which Watchtower had treated their members – to me, it was not loving, and demanded works (field service time) and blind obedience to man to gain God’s acceptance.  I loved Jesus, always talked about him with others yet in the light of how I was raised as a JW.  But, reflecting on his love for those who professed faith in him, could not reconcile how to love him since the “governing body” has always stressed not giving him too much attention.  Last year, after my mother was trying to tell me to “come back (to the organization)” I flatly told her I am not because “no man is coming in between me and my God and his son Jesus.”  She was at a loss for words.  My mother became a JW in 1970 right before I was born, and is heavily indoctrinated still.  I feel much more at peace than I ever have, and at this point, only feel sorry for my mother who has been blinded by teachings of man. 

While I have been focusing for many years on just talking to others informally about the love Jesus has for us, It has recently bothered me that I cannot elaborate further other than his loving acts.  More spiritual meat is what I’ve been hungering.  Lately, I’ve made concerted effort for better understanding.  Many months ago, I began watching John Cedars (Lloyd Evans) videos that sounded very objective and to me, didn’t shout “apostate.”  After some time, I looked for more spiritual food as Lloyd is an athiest (he doesn’t promote that belief to his listeners, but he doesn’t offer insight into the bible).  I stumbled upon Eric Wilson, a former JW who also goes under the pseudonym, Meleti Vivlon.  His explanations were logical and sounded inspired by holy spirit, letting the scriptures interpret themselves, clarifying scripture instead of what I was accustomed to from Watchtower who cherry picked scriptures to align with their doctrine.  He has not made a video on details of Revelation.

I do not recall which of the Youtube videos I was reading comments under, but under one a commenter gave the link to one of your blogs.  Over this past week, I have read and reread your explanation about the book of Revelation. I was stopped in my tracks. I knew that YHWH has lifted the scales from my eyes. Everything makes sense more than all the “adjustments” the Watchtower has made on scripture.  Excuse me as I try to address God by his Hebrew name now, as I don’t want to be associated with JWs who have smeared his reputation now with their history of lies and current child abuse scandals that will not be lost in history. 

So, to cut a long story short, I want to honor my savior this memorial (I have gone every year to the JW memorial despite my fading away so that I can show my respect), but am unclear how to go about that.  My conscience now that I have been enlightened, is preventing me from feeling comfortable in attending the memorial at a kingdom hall, or celebrate it in the way that JWs do.  Eric Wilson explained that Jesus commanded all his followers to partake of the wine and bread however, I must admit, I am unsure whether that is appropriate for me.  I only know I have love for Jesus and want to honor him the way he directed, leaving it in his hands what he has in mind for me.  Essentially, I cannot say I am “anointed” in the sense that the Watchtower teaches. 

I look forward to hearing from you, and whatever guidance you might be able to give according to scripture.  I certainly would not be offended if you are not comfortable with my attempt to join on Skype, but I only ask that the spirit guides you in giving me direction on how to commemorate his death appropriately. 

By the way, I didn’t know you were on Facebook, but I’ve been so busy this past month listening to multiple sources via Youtube and Podcasts (Eric Wilson, Watchtower Examination, EXJW Analyzer) and now reading your blog that I haven’t spent much time on that platform to even think of looking for you there.

Thank you kindly!

MY REPLY:

I will try to respond adequately to all the issues you bring up, and will include links to material I have already written in order to provide you with scriptures that will be relevant. Please take your time with what I write below, and be sure to consider the scriptures cited. I suggest examining this in sections, so that the scriptures can be thoroughly considered.

I am sorry to learn of your trying childhood. I don't know what it's like being raised as a JW (other than the life which my own children had), but I too had a childhood tainted by abuse and neglect. My father was agnostic, and my mother, Catholic. I went to Catholic school straight through to high school. That too was very restrictive and abusive. At home, there was physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. So this sad circumstance, is not unique to JWs.

I feel that my connection to Jesus and consistent prayer, got me through it. It is good to learn that the spiritual abuse we suffered under the arm of the WT, did not cause you to lose faith in God and Christ. So many end up faithless. It makes no sense to blame God for the evil men do, especially when Jesus warned us of this very scenario.

I can relate to your fading due to sheer exhaustion and the sense of futility of the grinding routine. We were so brainwashed into thinking that it is the path to eternal life, when it is just a diversion, to keep us preoccupied with empty provisions and a sense that we can never really measure up. When we are made to feel so inferior, the natural conclusion is that those who lay out the routine, must be better than us. Why then, would we ever examine them in a critical light? The psychology of this tactic, is powerfully effective.

Yes, the contrast between the love of God and the image of Him which the "Watchtower" portrays, is huge. That image as a merciless destroyer of life is crucial to their doctrine about Armageddon, their spiritual superiority and condition of privileged peace and security with God, and their interpretation of Revelation. All three concepts, must rest upon the idea that God and Jesus are the merciless Destroyers.

The organization would have no basis to exist, unless Revelation is interpreted the JW way. If you progress in your studies at the Blog; you will see that I believe that Satan supports the assertions of the WT, and uses his authority over the world, to give their doctrine and false interpretation of prophecy, credence. In other words, WT needs a whipping boy. They need the existence of false religion in order to misapply the identity of the harlots. They need the League of Nations in order to misapply the identity of the Beast... and the U.N., in order to misapply the identity of the Image of the Beast. 

If it seems too fantastic an idea to think that Satan would be involved in the formation and substantiation of Watchtower doctrine; we need to reconsider that since his release from the abyss, his objective is to take captive into deception (2Cor. 11:3-4; Rev.2:20; Col.2:8; Rev.13:10; Luke 21:24; Rev.11:2; Dan.8:10-12), the remaining ones of the woman's seed with which he is at spiritual war (Rev.12:15,17) (https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2012/12/earth-swallows-satans-river-rev1216.html). 
His very existence and continuation of authority and power over the world (1John 5:19;  2Cor. 4:4; Mark 4:12;  2Thess. 2:9-12; Rev.12:9; 20:7-8; etc.), 

....depends upon his ability to delay the Kingdom of God, and it's members becoming equipped to battle against him (2Cor. 10:3-5; Rev.16:13-16; 17:14; 19:14; Eph.2:6; 6:12).

You will be able to learn about the details of all this, along with the scriptures, if you persist in your learning through the Blog.

Veiled JWs cannot imagine a relationship with God without the GB, WT, and "elders". The scriptures that refer to God's spiritual Temple and it's priesthood, are misapplied to the organization. Jesus did say, that he appoints a steward over his household to provide the right food at the right time (Luke 12:42-44). 

What JWs forget, is that there is an option for a wicked steward to also exist, and that Jesus opens his depiction of both sorts, in question form (Luke 12:42;  1John 4:1). 

We are being directed to question who fulfills that identity, rather then letting others tell us who they are (Matt.24:23-26;  2Thess. 2:9-12;  1Tim. 4:1; Rev.16:14-15).

So there is a place for the priests of God, to provide spiritual sustenance to God's household (1Pet. 2:5; Mal.2:7;  1Cor. 4:1). 

They can either be faithful, or not. But Jesus has given ample warning about those who are proving unfaithful. JWs fail to recognize that identity, because they have been mislead into believing that it is impossible for their own leadership to fulfill it. They have fallen for the powerful deception, that the WT is God's spirit-directed organization and earthly extension of Mount Zion... rather than the anointed priesthood 

(https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2013/02/YHVHs-genuine-mountain.html). 
We are seeing the fulfillment of, "the disgusting thing standing in the holy place" (Matt.24:15-16; Mark 13:14). 

Jesus said, "let the reader use discernment". Yes, we need spiritual perception, in order to recognize this "abomination of desolation".

( https://pearl-disgustingthing.blogspot.com ) 

Those who I gather with, have also abandoned the name "Jehovah". It was never God's name, which is admitted by the WT. Our reasons for not using that name will become clear to you, if you read the blog posts about that. Here is one to start, if you are interested:

https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2013/03/the-name.html

Your next mention, is concerning the memorial. You ask for my perspective on how you might honor the occasion. You say that Eric Wilson teaches, that Jesus commanded all his followers to partake. I believe that this is a great error, and I will partially explain now, why.

Only out of context from the rest of the scriptures, can one form that conclusion. If we only look at Jesus saying, "Take... eat... this means my body", would we assume that he is telling all his followers to partake.

I would like to use an illustration at this point.

If we had a recording of a couple having dinner on the night that the man made a marriage proposal, and heard the bridegroom say... "Please marry me"... would we assume that he loved all who listened to the tape and that he was asking all hearers, to marry him? 

No, of course not. 

We have to look at who Jesus was speaking to that night, and who was present to hear him say his original words. Were all his disciples, there at the first Memorial? No, they were not. Jesus had multitudes that were following him. Upon his entrance into Jerusalem that week, a large crowd in Jerusalem was hailing him as their king (Matt.21:1-4,5-9; John 12:12-15,16-19; 12:42).

The only ones that were at this intimate event, were the ones chosen by Jesus (John 6:70; 13:1,18; Mark 14:16-18; Matt.26:20)

Here is a link that will help you to learn more about who should partake:

(https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2013/03/the-following-is-comment-from-paulo-and.html) 

It contains other links for more information. There are dozens of posts on the subject.

If Jesus meant to make the marriage covenant with all his disciples (Heb.12:24; Luke 22:20; Eph.5:25; Rev.21:2), and have them share in the emblems of the promise, he certainly could have included them (Mark 6:34-37,38-41,42-44).

He didn't. 

Eph.5 reads 

"23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless."

(Col.1:22;  2Pet. 3:14; Rev.21:2; 19:7-8; 14:5; 6:9-11; 19:8)

Mr. Wilson may believe that his conclusion about who should partake is soundly based upon scripture, but it is out of context. There is a bride of promise belonging to Jesus. That Bride is not the only identity that can hear, obey, and gain life through Jesus Christ (Rev.22:17). 

The difference, is the means by which life is gained. Children receive life from their parents. To get that life, they do not need to be, the eternal parents themselves (Isa.9:6; Gal.4:26; Rev.21:2-3).

Again, if you keep learning, a full Biblical understanding of these things will be gained by you.

https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2017/04/symbolic-flesh-and-blood-invited-and.html

As you say, "being anointed, in the sense that the WT teaches"... is not what matters, because being anointed in the sense that the WT teaches, is error.  The WT understands that calling, as being a desire to go to heaven. That is so wrong, from many angles.

What matters, is being anointed in the sense that scriptures teach.

For what purpose, did God cause anointing to occur? 

Was it not to designate to his people and to the one being anointed, who among his nation he chose to be a priest or king? Those who received such an anointing, were well aware of the event that installed them to fulfill their God-assigned position. 

Experiencing that powerful spirit testimony of God's installation, has nothing to do with the future one desires for themselves, which belief is based upon the ignorant doctrine that the heirs of the earth, are banned from it. 

Neither is the genuine anointing concluded upon a baseless assumption, that we are all priests and kings, all anointed, and all partakers.

The WT depicts the heirs with Christ, as legless, bearded, Caucasian, male clones, all sitting on literal thrones above the clouds, consigned forever to observe from above, others enjoying the earth. 

The Bible makes clear that this depiction, is false 

(Rev.5:10; Rev.21:2; Dan.2:35; Zech.12:3; Isa.2:1-3; Ps.45:16; Gen.28:13-14; Gal.3:29)(Gen.28:14; Rev.22:2)[Zech.12:3; Rev.11:5; 20:9 (Eph.2:6; Rev.12:5; 2:26-27)].

(Heb.1:6; Acts 3:21) 

For more info. on this: https://pearl-holycity.blogspot.com)

and ( https://pearl-materialize.blogspot.com )

So then... how do those not anointed "commemorate his death appropriately"?

I will give you a link to a similar question that was asked. 

https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2015/03/not-anointed-observing-memorial-how.html

But I will also say some important things, not mentioned at that link...

At Matthew chapter 22, verses 1-10, Jesus used an illustration of a marriage feast. 

Click here to read in new window:

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matt.22%3A1-10&version=GW

Revelation speaks of this feast, and those who are invited to it (Rev.19:7,9)

Note that at Matt.22:9... those invited are those "leaving the city" (Rev.17:18; 18:4). 

Those who disobey Jesus command to flee the city....
 (Luke 21:21-22; 17:26-29,30-33,34-37; Rev.11:8,3; 12:6,14; Luke17:37) 
          (See link: Eagles or Vultures)
.....after the "abomination of desolation" is present, are not invited to that marriage feast.

So what is my point, regarding respect for the Memorial promise and covenant, which Jesus made that night to those he had chosen?

If we really respect that relationship between Jesus and his bride... would we not want to attend the wedding reception, when that promise is finally being realized? 

Clearly, those invited and who choose to attend, are not the Bride herself. Yet at that reception, the Bride herself and those who recognize her, are offering what is provided at that feast (Rev.22:17; Matt.22:9-10; 19:9)

Are exiles, now leaving an unfaithful Jerusalem, because they are able to discern the "abomination of desolation"... a "disgusting thing, standing where it does not belong"? Are there those who are capable of hearing what the spirit says to the congregations, having been given the wings of eagles, to feed on those who have been slain? Are those perceptive ones, inviting others to what they have found?

If you now believe or learn that to be so, I hope you will take a hard look at the scriptures which indicate, which supper All may now be participating in...

the promise Jesus made to his bride, or,

the invitation being given, to enjoy the provisions of his promise to her, being fulfilled.

As always, I am here for all who wish. If you have any further need, just write.

ADDITION:

What is the difference between the Memorial supper, and the marriage feast of the Lamb?

In the memorial, Jesus leaves his betrothed bride, but promises to return (John 16:5-6; 14:3).

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John14%3A3&version=NIVUK

He tells her what to do while he is gone (Mark 13:34).

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John16%3A5-6%3B+Mark13%3A34&version=NIVUK

When he returns, he then marries the COMPLETED Bride... all those who have been faithful with their assignment, sealed as slaves of God through their death for truth, just as Jesus was (Eph.5:25-27; Rev.21:2,9-11,27; 19:7-8; 6:9-11;  2Pet. 3:14; Rom.6:5; Mark 8:35;  2Cor. 5:15; Rev.6:11).

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Eph.5%3A25-27%3B+Rev.21%3A2%2C9-11%2C27%3B+19%3A7-8%3B+6%3A9-11%3B+2Pet.3%3A14%3B+James1%3A27%3B+Rom.6%3A5%3B+Mark8%3A35%3B+2Cor.5%3A15%3B+Rev.6%3A11&version=NIVUK

When all the faithful have been gathered in (Matt.3:12; John 18:9)...

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matt.3%3A12%3B+John18%3A9&version=NIVUK

...the Father provides a celebratory feast (Matt.22:2,4; Rev.19:9; Isa.25:6-8; 55:1-2; Rev.22:17) of spiritual food...

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Rev.19%3A9%3B+Matt.22%3A2%2C4%3B+Isa.25%3A6-8&version=NIVUK

...which is the unfurling of the 7 sealed scroll of Revelation (Dan.7:13; Rev.5:7,9; Rev.20:11-12; 22:16,6; 10:7; John 15:26; 16:13; Mal.3:1; Matt.25:6; Heb.13:13; Matt.25:10; Rev.22:16).
