The Mark of Slavery

A LETTER I RECEIVED:

Hi Sister Pearl,

  I forwarded some emails to an elder that I thought were very upbuilding. (Emails that I had sent to some of my witness friends.) In return, he sent me an email (and included an article from the Kingdom Ministry, that we should be very cautious of emails that were forwarded to us).

Basically, he chastised me for forwarding stuff that was not directly from Bethel. That's why I sent you the various emails so that you could view them and give me an answer in regards to this elders assessment of the emails I sent out.

  If the email regarding the explosion in Texas showed Jehovah or His people in an unfavorable light, then that's one thing. But this particular email was very encouraging and brought to light Jehovah's spirit of unity and love which in my opinion personifies Jehovah and are His hallmarks. Sister Pearl, I know that Jehovah and His Son are perfect. But His brothers that run the organization are not. I'm convinced of that.  And last week's Watchtower made that abundantly clear.

  In your opinion, should emails that are very positive and encouraging to the brothers and sisters, should they not be forwarded?

Thank you.

MY REPLY:

Hello again,

   (I have an article written for each of the points I am about to raise. 

    I must touch upon many of these points to answer your question. 

    But I can not give you every article here to answer it, so I am going to 

    be very concise. If you doubt any aspect of my answer, I strongly 

    suggest you follow up and gain background information 

    for that particular subject which you doubt or question. If a question
    remains after your reading, please do not hesitate to ask me further.
    If you have not been a regular reader, or have not read the previous
    300 posts, you may be missing much of the foundation to these 
    current teachings. I can not put every possible answer that may 
    arise, in each present post. But I would be happy to help each 
    person individually, or direct you to a previous scriptural reply that 
    addresses your present question.)

First I will address the idea of how the elders enforce the forbidding of sharing any information, unless it is officially sourced with the Organization.  It is important to recognize why this policy exists, why it is so strenuously demanded, and it's connection to prophecy. Yes...this very policy was foretold in Revelation. Please let me explain.Jesus warns his anointed slaves about the situation that will exist in the time of the end. Part of his description is found at 

Rev.13:16,17 which reads:

"He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name."

You may recall that this authoritative one who "causes", is the false prophet/two-horned Beast. We see that this Master forces "all" within his domain, to receive a controlling "mark", upon their "forehead" (thinking/conscience) or on their "right hand" (deeds/power).

The result, is that "no one" may "buy or sell" unless they bear the trademark of the Wild Beast. Those who accept this slave mark of the Wild Beast, accept these controlling restrictions over their thinking and actions.

Try to remember that the book of Revelation is symbolic. Just as these are not literal "Beasts"; neither are these visible "marks", nor is the "buying" and "selling" according to literal monies (as with Rev.3:14,18,19).

buying-and-selling.html

Revelation is telling us that there will be a "two-horned" false prophet who uses it's power to act on behalf of a Wild Beast,

causing all in it's domain to be restricted, in what they can think and do. The only thinking and doing permitted, is determined and authorized by the Wild Beast. Can you see this?
In reality, being marked by the lying doctrines of the Wild Beast, is in direct opposition to being marked by the true commands of God (Deut.6:6,8; 11:18; Luke 4:8). Only God has the right to direct ones thinking (forehead) and actions/power (right hand), which is the mark of God's slaves (Rev.7:3; 14:1).

You could learn much more about this prophetic situation if you also studied the context of Rev.13:16,17 and the meaning of it's surrounding verses. I invite you to do this study, because the more you learn, I am confident, the more you will recognize about the present-day circumstances, and what you need to do, to survive this Great Tribulation.

  Now you know why the present restrictions exist and their connection to prophecy. But why does the false prophet demand such control over it's people's minds and activities?

Because this is the same period of time that the false prophet and Wild Beast are competing with the true prophets (Rev.11:3,4) to keep the worship of their followers (Rev.13:8). Of course, it is Satan who is behind these lying doctrines (Rev.16:13; 13:4; 9:11). His aim is to drown the "woman" with them (Rev.12:15,17). 

(earth-swallows-satans-river-rev1216.html)

Satan is competing with the true prophets, who are working their assignment to prophesy, during the same era of the final Wild Beast and Harlot (Rev.11:3,7; 12:11,17; 14:9,10,12; 15:2; 17:6,12,14; 18:24; 19:11,14,19,20; 20:4)
Satan and his agents, battle with the witness of truth from the final prophets, because Satan knows by means of that witness, he will finally be conquered (Rev.12:10,11). This final battle between truth and lies, is called Armageddon (Rev.16:13,14,15,16).

If the false prophet allows it's people to have free thinking, and free access to explore outside information (perhaps even sharing it with yet others); it runs the risk that it's subjects may find the truth being preached by the faithful slaves of Christ (Matt.10:41; Rev.11:3,4,5; Jer.5:14). The false prophet (Harlot), and it's Beast know, that this freedom would endanger control over their lying dominion (Rev.17:1,15,2; 18:3; Jer.51:7; Isa.28:15). 

Satan is using this false prophet and Beast to especially keep control of the anointed, in his efforts to restrain these final ones from becoming sealed (Rev.12:15; 9:4). Satan knows that once the Chosen ones do wake up and realize the truth, they will subject themselves to God (rather than continue subject to the Wild Beast). They will then obediently preach revealed truth, "die" for it, and become sealed (Rev.6:9,10,11; 13:15). The testimony of Truth  by the preaching of the "two witnesses", endangers the dominion of the False Prophet. Satan is using that dominion to deceive and suppress the remnant, because once the last ones become sealed; Satan's world kingdom is then conquered, and ends (Rev.12:10,11; 17:14). 

https://pearl-waiting.blogspot.com/

For a time, Satan (through the false prophet and wild beast) is successful in preventing the remnant from becoming "sealed" (Rev.13:7; 9:3,5,10;  1Tim. 4:1,2; Rev.16:13,15). Many powerful deceptions, signs, and portents, mislead the anointed for a time (Matt.24:24,25; Mark 13:5; Matt.7:15,24; Dan.8:10,11,12,13; 12:7; Rev.6:10; 11:2;  2Thess. 2:4,9; Dan.9:27; 11:31; Matt.24:15,16). They were mislead into worshiping the Wild Beast, right along with the rest of the false prophet's dominion (Rev.13:7,8,4). They also knew, that to resist the power, dominion, and control of the Wild Beast and false prophet, would mean dire consequences (Rev.13:15; 11:7; 12:11). Jesus gives "his slaves" this warning (Rev.1:1; 22:6; Matt.24:24,25), because this dominion of idolatry threatens the anointed 

(Rev.13:7,9,10;  2Thess. 2:4;  1Cor. 3:16; Matt.19:14; Mark 9:42; Rev.8:8; Mark 11:23).

Jesus said "By their fruits you will recognize those men" (Matt.7:20). What men? 
Both the true and the false prophets...specifically, those claiming to be anointed ("Christs"/"Messiahs") (Mark 13:22; Matt.7:16,17).

What were the "fruits" Jesus Christ told us to search out? Were they "unity and love", (Luke 12:51) or the power to respond to disaster and the alleviation of victim's suffering? (Matt.7:21,22,23)

If you want to study the scriptures to see what Jesus did say to look for...

what the genuine "fine fruit" is that marks a genuine Christ/prophet,

you can find Christ's guiding words, at https://pearl-finetrees.blogspot.com .

and also at https://pearl-distinction.blogspot.com/

"Positive and encouraging" emails sound harmless. But we have to take a closer look at why we are considering them such. Single out in your mind... What seems positive within them? 
Is it the behavior of people we identify with, because those people are performing what in our estimation, are fine works? 
Do we proudly view those works as proof of God's spirit and favor? 

Please remember that Jesus specifically warned us about such works (Matt.7:22,23; Matt.25:1,2,11,12). He made a point of letting us know that such works are not the sign of God's favor, nor the genuine doing of God's will. Think about how many governmental regimes or cult leaders, have accomplished similar feats with those caught up in following them. (Examples: The small island Britain, conquered Nations all over the world/Nazi Germany had a devoted powerful army/Alexander the Great/Catholic Charities/The Red Cross/ The Peace Corps.) Don't forget the enormity of Satan's power, and his desire to mislead the Chosen Ones with it. 

(pearl-anillustration.blogspot.com)

Is the power we look up to, supporting the "LEAST" of Christ's brothers, or persecuting them? (Matt.25:45,46)

According to Jesus, this is central to God's final judgment and approval.

Jesus laid out a very specific list of proofs, in determining who the true and faithful anointed are....

And in truth, the works you esteem as "positive and encouraging" are not on Christ's list. In fact, he warns that those very signs, are among the "powerful signs and portents" that mislead God's people into following the false prophets, in the time of the end.

Do we want to share in misleading others, by promoting those very same deceptive signs? 

Do we want to encourage others to idolize an organization?

True, the hallmark of genuine Christians is love. But Jesus was more specific about how that love would be manifested.

Just as is the case with the accomplishments of governments and religious charities;

It is not by the works your emails call people's attention to.

If within those emails, there is a promotion of an Organization; and the benefits of belonging to it; we need to reconsider. 
All glory and credit should be rendered to God ALONE (Isa.42:8; Rev.14:7). For, he does not share His glory or worship with anything else. He is our only Savior (Isa.43:11; Jude 1:25) and Master (Matt.4:10; 22:37,38). 

The simple truth is that, 

Yhwh God is not the WTBTS. 
Neither is He the Governing Body.
Last time I checked the Bible, it still taught that it is Idolatry, to let something other than God and His Word, totally control your life.
Neither do the scriptures describe this "mountain-like" organization (Rev.8:8; Zech.4:7), as "Jehovah's" Mount Zion, [made of Jesus and the 144000 (Rev.14:1; Isa.2:2,3; Dan.2:34,35,44,45)].
YHVHs-genuine-mountain.html

This is a counterfeit "mountain" (Rev.8:8; Zech.4:7), and it is being used by Satan to deceive the Chosen into committing idolatry (2Cor. 11:3,20; Rev.12:15; 9:3; 13:15,7,8), so that Satan can delay the arrival of the Kingdom of God (Rev.12:12,17). The Great Tribulation, is spiritual.

Not only does the WT control casual communications such as the one you reference...
the control has become so stringent, that you can not even bring up a scripture during the WT study, unless it is referenced in the paragraph. So is God's Word our primary guide, or the magazine? This is one glaring example of how our Bible's use (right hand) and interpretation (forehead) (Deut.6:6,8; 11:18), are enslaved with with iron-like limitation (Rev.13:16,17); in defiance of God's spirit (2Tim. 3:16; Gal.5:1; Rev.22:17; John 8:32,36;  2Cor. 3:17; Gal.2:4).

Who is the False Prophet who gives breath to the image of the Beast ?

From Rev.19:20...
"The beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who had performed the signs on its behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped its image."
What signs did the false prophet perform, on the Beasts' behalf?
Rev.13:14-17 tells us...
"14 Because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth. It ordered them to ***set up an image*** in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15 The second beast was given power to ***give breath to the image of the first beast***, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. 16 It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, 17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name."

The false prophet orders the inhabitants of the earth, to set up an idol that represents the beast. It "gives breath" to that image, so that the Beast can execute, any who refuse to worship its' image. Consequently, other symbolic restraints are also imposed and enforced.
How does the Bible itself interpret the meaning of giving the Image/Idol of the Beast, "breath"? 
John 20:21-23 tells us:
"21 Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” 22 And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”

In the Bible, the word for breath is "pneuma" (Greek) and "ruach" (Hebrew). The same words are also defined as "spirit" (Gen.2:7; John 6:63).
Receiving breath, is receiving spirit... being sent forth by Christ (John 20:21; 13:20), and being given the power to judge... to forgive (or not forgive) sins (John 20:23;  1Cor. 6:1-3; Matt.18:18). 

Now that we understand the meaning of receiving breath/spirit, and the authority it bestows, let's consider an evil counterfeit of this.

Rev.13:15 reads;

"He (false prophet -Rev.13:11; 19:20) was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed." (power to judge/condemn to death)

Do we see any "Beast"... any identity or group, being imbued with an image of such authority, by a false prophet?
At John 20:21-23, we saw that Jesus gave spiritual authority and power, to his anointed chosen priests (Luke 10:19; Mal.2:7; Rev.1:5-6; 5:9-10;  1Pet. 2:5). But who is it that actually appears to be authorized to exercise the authority and power of God's priesthood, today... even over the anointed Chosen? 

What image today, seems "spirit-directed" and as a result, the tangible representatives and enforcers of worship toward that image, can pass the judgment of spiritual life or death/forgive or not forgive sin...
(over those who refuse to accept that image as being spirit-directed), 
...even over the chosen ones? (2Thess. 2:4; Mark 13:14; John 16:2)
(Rom.2:28-29; Rev.2:9)

At Rev.13:7, we are also told, that this alliance between the false prophet and it's Beast, "conquers the holy ones". (Rev.13:10; Luke 21:24; Dan.8:12; Rev.11:2; Matt.5:13).
(https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2013/09/trample-how-does-it-happen.html)

 Rev.13:15

Are you awake to recognizing the fulfillment of this prophecy?
It is in plain site, among "Jehovah's Witnesses".

I do hope that those interested, will learn more about Rev.13:14-17. The Bible's own interpretation of those verses are shocking to those under the influence of the harlots wine/wormwood.

Two Beasts

UPDATED

Good afternoon Sister Doxsey
I trust you are doing well, I came across this and thought I should pass it on to you. It sure seems like you were right about the alliance to the org. Although this is starting very small it will blow up in the near future.

REPLY:

In speaking of the false prophet with two horns (Rev.13:11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18; 20:10; 16:13; 19:20)

Rev13:12 reads:

"It exercised all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed."

 

                                                                         ---------------
"It exercised all the authority of the first beast on its behalf"
Here we are clearly told a detail about the "misleading" prophet. That false prophet uses the power of the "first" beast of Rev.13:1. That first beast ascends out of the "sea", which is Gentile (not God's Chosen People- not Jews- not in covenant- not anointed). The "sea" is the same as the "Abyss", the "deep", and "Sheol" (https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2017/04/what-is-sheole-hades.html); 

because it is the realm of Satan, and contains within it, all those under Satan's control who are considered dead by God (Eph.2:1; 4:18; Col.2:13). Anointed "Jewish" priests granted the "first resurrection", have "passed over from death to life" 

(Eph.2:5; Rev.20:6; John 6:50,51,58;  1John 3:14; 5:13)

This "first beast" is given all Satan's resources and dominion (Rev.13:2). This includes the power to mislead, rule, and consume in death, people from all the world's nations 

(1John 5:19; Rev.12:9; John 12:31; Heb.2:14). 

In Rev.13:12, we are told that the second beast that ascends from the "earth" (Gods people- Jews (Rom.2:28,29)- in covenant with God- anointed) "exercises", or fully uses, all the dominion and power of the "first", "Gentile" (not-anointed) beast. 

We are told that it's purpose of this use, is to gain advantage... "on it's behalf". In other words, the second anointed beast, uses the Gentile beast, for it's own benefit and advantage. This explains why the anointed beast wants "all the earth" to worship the "Gentile" beast....because the anointed beast (2nd), rules through the Gentile beast's (1st) power. 

The more authority and power the anointed beast can sanction for the Gentile beast....the more power the anointed beast can "exercise" through it. In this way, the first wild beast is infused with power to rule.... not from itself, but from the anointed beast (Dan.8:24,11; 11:36; Rev.13:16; 19:20; Matt.24:22). The anointed beast is also getting it's worldly power, from Satan (Rev.9:1,11; 13:11)

"and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast"

The "earth" is the footstool of God. It is under His feet, in submission to Him. It is His land, the anointed. (https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2014/07/world-earth-home.html).
So according to the rest of Rev.13:12; the "Jewish" (anointed) Beast (Rom.2:29; 9:8; Gal.3:29) uses the first beast's power, to make all God's people (all the earth and it's inhabitants) worship this collective "Gentile" (non-anointed) beast. Why? Because that first Gentile beast is the muscle of the "Jewish" (anointed) Beast.
https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2018/02/who-is-false-prophet-who-gives-breath.html
Do you recognize how these prophecies apply today in detail?
If not, think about anointed you know, who exercise world-wide dominion through those not anointed,
and teach others to worship the collective image of those not anointed,
and to submit to the representatives of that collective "image", as if they were YHVH's chosen priests. (Matt.24:15 pearl-disgustingthing.blogspot.com)
The links that you send me above, are a part of the fulfillment of these prophecies.
 (The Greek for "all the Nations/Earth" actually means people from all nations. This helps to clarify  
    that this dominion is not necessarily all people of all the world,
    but rather a group of people of/from all parts of the world (Rev.5:9,10).
                                    ----------------


"whose fatal wound had been healed"
For faithful anointed Christians, the dark spiritual powers of Satan's world has been, in a spiritual sense, made subject to them.
Like Christ, they conquer Satan's world (Rev.12:11; John 16:33; Eph.2:6; 6:12; Luke 10:19; Isa.14:12). Even personally within their own hearts, Satan's world and the powers within it, become impotent... "dead" to them (Gal.6:14; 5:24; Col.2:20;  1Pet.4:2;  1John 5:19; 3:9,14). 

Those Chosen by God to be priests, have overcome the world, and must continue to overcome it's deceptive power, enticements, and temptations of worldly power and dominion as Jesus did. 

(Luke 4:5,6;  2Pet.2:20;  1Pet.1:14; Eze.33:13; Matt.12:45;  2Pet.3:14; Eph.4:22,23; Heb.3:12,13,14)
If they fail to maintain their pure spiritual virginity; Satan's world and it's deceptive power of sin returns as if resurrected in the life of that Chosen one (James 4:4;  2Pet.2:20; Luke 11:24,25,26).
The power of Satan over God's people, is symbolized in the first "Gentile" beast (Man of lawlessness- Rev.13:18), which Satan has given all his dominion to (Rev.13:1,2;  2Thess.2:9).
That beast had been conquered by the anointed, starting in the first century (Luke 10:17,18,19,20; 21:15) and continued up until the outbreak of the Great Tribulation, which causes God's anointed to become trampled by the Gentiles. 

  (https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-greatest-tribulation-why.html)

    (https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2013/09/trample-how-does-it-happen.html)

      (https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2013/11/the-thousand-years-image-of-beast.html)

Through their previous world-neutrality and subjection to God's spirit, they gave that wild beast a fatal wound [a sword-stroke (Rev.13:14; Heb.4:12; Rev.2:16; 6:4,8)]. Faith in the sword of God, is His truth and spirit (Heb.4:12; Eph.6:17). By that faith, they conquered the world (1John 5:4; 2:14). That wound to Satan's power can be "healed", if an anointed traitorous leader resubmits to Satan as master, and empowers that beast over God's people, once again.

We read in the Bible how the world may overtake an anointed one as an individual. But in the case of Rev.13:11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,7 ; this happens on the grandest scale possible. 

The Steward slave (over the entire household of anointed/a great star burning as a lamp) is the one that "falls" from their enrollment in the heavens (Rev.8:10,11; Isa.14:12; Rev.9:1). 

The steward has accepted a friendship with "confirmed drunkards" (Matt.24:49; Isa.28:1,2,3,4,7; Jer.5:31; Micah 2:11; Hosea 9:10; 5:9; 7:5), to gain worldly power over his fellow slaves (James 4:4; Isa.66:5,2; John 16:2; Mark 10:42,43; Luke 9:46; Ec.8:9;  1John 4:20,21; 3:10,12,15).

The wicked steward accepts world dominion, through the first wild beast gifted to him by Satan

 (Eze.16:32,33; Jer.17:5; 11:3; Psalm 118:8; 146:3; Isa.30:1; 2:22; 31:3; Rev.9:1,3). 

This was the same test Satan brought upon our Exemplar (Luke 4:5,6). 

The spiritual Gentiles of Satan's world who vie for position, power, dominance and riches, are "confirmed" as being "drunk" with the deceptive power of sin. These "Gentiles" have no real interest in true spiritual riches, which go hand in hand with shame, poverty, and persecution for Christ 

(John 15:19; Rom.8:7;  1John 2:15;  2Tim.3:12). 

The power the Gentiles amass through ambition and pride, is exploited by the unfaithful steward. He bestows authority, position, and favor to these (prostitute giving payment) to "secure" his own advantage over the household of God. That Gentiles Beast "tramples" the chosen "underfoot" for the Steward/Harlot. God allows this discipline for the unsealed. They deserve it for giving their subjection to uncircumcised Gentiles, rather than to Christ. In time, endurance through this discipline will have it's cleansing work completed, for those repentant who progress toward becoming sealed.

Through the false prophet's alliance with Satan's Gentiles who seek power intoxication;
*the fallen anointed star/false prophet/harlot, rides and exerts power through the first wild beast...
*the false prophet "breathes life" into the "image" of the first wild beast (From the "sea"),
        and "exercises" the wild beast's demonic dominion...
        ("breathe life into" indicates bestowing an impression of possessing spirit)
*the "fallen star" releases and empowers the locust-scorpions of the abyss (Rev.9:1,2,3; Eze.2:6; Rev.9:5,10).
*the Harlot in a covenant with death rides the wild beast....(also of the abyss --Rev.11:7; 17:8)
(the Wild Beast is a collective of the individual locust-scorpions.)
                (The Harlot has the name of her owner/mother/covenant on her forehead. Rev.17:5)
                     (pearl-thewoman.blogspot.com)



These four Revelation illustrations are about the very same identities and events.
Each illustration provides more information about each identity, and each event.
Let us look at this relationship between unfaithful anointed and the Gentile power they use to rule over God's household of "lesser" anointed slaves......

1. Christ's Steward Slave/"eating and drinking" with confirmed drunkards.
    History is replete with confirmation that the "Gentiles" of Satan's world, are spiritually "drunk"
    in their pursuit of power and position.
    The Steward Slave "eats and drinks" with them, sharing in their lust for domination.
    Part of this stolen power is demonstrated by how both these identities consume the same
    spiritual food and drink that was intended to be served to the returning Master/Bridegroom.
    To him belongs the power, and the spiritual food and drink his slaves have labored to prepare.

    (Matt.24:48,49; Luke 12:36; 17:8; Isa.28:7,8,14) The returning Master will find his table,
    covered with the Steward's vomit (recycled doctrine)....his house filled with unclean strangers...

    his faithful slaves struggling to be loyal, while being beaten and thrown out of the house. 

2. False Prophet (with two horns)
Wild Beast (with 7 heads and 10 horns)
    The False Prophet (two horned -Rev.13:11) infuses Satan's 10 horned beast with "spirit". He
    causes all God's people to worship an idol... an "image" of the wild beast.
    This tells us that the actual tangible beast is not ordered to be worshiped,
    but rather it's collective image.
    (We know the beast is made up of collective parts, due to the description of it's heads
      and horns.) While the False Prophet does not command that the beast itself be worshiped,
    it empowers the Beast to enforce that it's image IS worshiped, under penalty of "death"
    (Rev.13:15; John 16:2). We are told that the result of this, is that the Beast itself is worshiped
    (Rev.13:12,8). Why?
    Because the Beast is the tangible reality of it's own Image. The "earth" does not interact with the
    Image; but it does directly interact with the reality of the individual representative elements of 

    the actual Beast.

    This fits perfectly the worship of the Organization of "Jehovah's Witnesses". It is not taught
    that the elders which make up the Organization, should be worshiped as individuals; but
    through the collective image of a "spirit-directed" Organization, the result is that the
    tangible Beast IS viewed as divine and spirit-directed. 

    As representatives of the Image of the Organization,
    the elders come to be viewed as being individually moved by God's spirit.
    (This blasphemes YHVH's true chosen priesthood. - 1Cor.3:16)

    It is believed that each elder is a "holy one", appointed by and working under the direction of 

    Holy Spirit, even though those truly chosen
    by God Himself, are dismissed as irrelevant. It is believed that any decisions
    the elders make, must not be questioned; because acceptance of such a
    decision is viewed as subjection to the "Image" of "Jehovah's spirit-directed Organization".
    ("Blasphemy" Rev.13:6) 

    What it actually is....
    a priestly decision made by spiritual Gentiles, un-circumcised in heart.
    The spiritual Gentiles do not belong serving in the Temple arrangement. God views this
    arrangement as "a disgusting thing standing in a holy place" (Matt.24:15; Mark 13:14)
    (pearl-disgustingthing.blogspot.com)
    In reality, YHVH's choice by Holy Spirit is being mocked, rebelled against, and usurped.
    The result of worshiping the composite "Image" of the Organizational Beast, is that the "Image"
    is given power to kill all those who refuse to worship/obey/serve/yield to, those who represent
    that "Image". As the tangible reality of the "Image", it's representative elders act on it's behalf.
    In this way, the mystery of Revelation's 10-horned Beast and it's own image are fulfilled today.
    Those who worship the "spirit-directed" "Image" of the Organization, do so through it's
    representatives. The "Image" is given worship (subjection/obedience) through it's
    representative overseers/individual locust-scorpions/collective tangible Wild Beast.
    How is this worship manifested?
    Rev.13:16,17,15 tells us.
(pearl-666.blogspot.com)
(https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2012/12/some-have-told-me-that-buying-and.html
    Of course, this authority, power, stature, and illusion of spirit direction and divine appointment
    that the Beast possesses, is not scripturally established as true. The divine stature of the
    Organization, whose body is made up of spiritual Gentiles, exists only because 
    the False Prophet says it does.
    This is how the False Prophet is itself, the source of "breath"/"spirit-direction" that enlivens
    the Wild Beast (Rev.13:15) and causes it's idolatrous "image" to be erected. There are no
    scriptures which indicate that spiritual Gentiles are spirit-directed slaves, priests, or princes
    of God. A search below the surface reveals that these references regard the anointed faithful.
    The False Prophet/Wicked Steward, exploits the "Image's" illusion of divinity, using it for it's
    own benefit and power, ...to trample/beat, God's chosen priests into submission.
     (Rev.13:15,8; 17:9,10,12,13; Matt.24:49) This downtrodden condition of the chosen heirs is a
    great advantage to Satan's continuing world dominion. Satan's motive behind his giving support
    to the unfaithful, is obvious.
3. Fallen star/locust-scorpions
    The "fallen star" is a star of Christ, who has fallen from heaven due to unfaithfulness.
    After accepting the key to Satan's abyss, she releases the locust-scorpions. These are then
    given authority and power, which is symbolized by what "seemed like crowns of gold".
    That crown of spiritual authority and power belongs to the anointed "elders"
    (Luke 10:19; Psalm 91:13; Mark 16:18; James 5:14), but this authority has been stolen from them.
    These Gentiles have replaced God's chosen priests, in God's Temple arrangement of
    the anointed priesthood (1Cor.3:16; Eph.2:20,21,22;  1Pet.2:5,9,10;  2Thess.2:4,3).
    (Rev.1:20; Dan.12:3; Phil.2:15; Gen.15:5; Gal.3:29) (Rev.8:10,11; 9:1; Isa.14:12)
    (Rev.9:1,2,3,7; 3:11; 9:21) (Rev.9:4,5,6,10; 11:2; Dan.7:25; Luke 21:24; Rev.13:5;
     Matt.24:15;  1Kings 12:31;  2Chron.11:14,15; 13:9; Eze.44:8,9; Num.3:10)
4.  Harlot rides the Wild Beast
     All harlots of the Bible are adulterous to their covenant with God. In order to be an
     adulterous harlot, you must have been in a covenant with God.
     This is not true of "Christendom".
     The religious figures of "Christendom" are not "fallen stars" (Rev.2:5)
     from Jesus' right hand of power (Rev.1:20; Phil.2:15; Dan.12:3).
(Rev.8:10,11; 9:1)

     This harlot is "drunk with the blood of the Holy Ones and all those slain on earth" 

     (Rev.17:6).
     While on earth, Jesus confided to us who this is (Matt.23:35,37,34,38), which is confirmed at
     Rev.11:8, which tells us that this adulterous city, is the same place where Jesus was
     executed...Jerusalem...the "city" claiming to be in covenant with God 

     (Isa.1:21,9,10,11,27,28; Matt.23:35,36,37; Rev.18:24).
     (Hosea 1:2; 9:1; Rev.17:6; 18:24; Matt.23:35; Rev.11:8)
     The Harlot rides the beast. The Beast does the killing (Rev.11:7). Therefore it is clear,
     that if the Harlot is drunk with the blood of Christ's witnesses (Rev.17:6)...she is the one
     responsible for what she directs the Beast to do.
     This reveals that she directs the "scarlet coloured" (blood-stained) wild beast,
     and uses it to eliminate her enemies....who are Christ's faithful brothers (Rev.6:9,10,11).
     (Rev.17:3; 11:7; 17:6; John 16:2; Matt.24:9; Luke 6:22; Rev.6:9,10,11; 20:4)
This clarifies the relationship, and the identities, of these two roles.
The dynamic and relationship between them, is the same as the other illustrations we have discussed. This is because these various illustrations, are different parables about the same identities.


I hope all readers can perceive, that these two identities (anointed and non-anointed) found within these four illustrations (who are interacting symbiotically), are the same anointed and the same non-anointed in each illustration. These four illustrations enhance each other, to paint a detailed image of reality
.....a reality that we see fulfilled in detail,
before our very eyes....within the alliance between spiritual Jews and spiritual Gentiles, 

which comprises the hierarchy belonging to the Organization of "Jehovah's Witnesses".

Accusation of "Causing Division"

Below is an updated section from this previous post: http://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2013/07/persecution.html
It pertains to the present accusation being brought against any that speak up for Truth in the Congregation.

which now has the following updates:
-----------------------------------------------------

"Jesus wanted to divide truth from lies, so that the truth could be clearly discerned and followed. He never espoused unity with leadership, at the cost of Truth; but Truth over unity, and unity through truth.
For this (Matt.22:16; 23:13), Jesus suffered the condemnation of men, as an apostate (Matt.26:65). The Jewish leaders in covenant with God, looked to the Gentiles for support in dealing with Jesus (Matt.27:2; Isa.36:6; 31:1,3; Rev.11:8; Jer.17:5), just as the Ram/false prophet (Rev.13:11; Dan.8:4), relies on it's Gentile Beast. The first century Jewish leaders told Pilate that Jesus was perverting the nation from the true doctrine of Moses and the prophets (Luke 23:2); by spreading among them new notions, and false principles of religion; whereby he was a trouble maker of God's Israel, as Ahab charged Elijah (1Kings 18:17).
But in order to interest the Romans in executing Christ, they also accused him of "forbidding the giving of tribute to Caesar", which was a lie (Matt.22:21; 17:24,25,26,27). 

We too, are falsely slandered, shamed, and "killed"...

 (Eze.22:8,9; Lev.19:16; Hosea 6:9; Rev.11:7,8,9,10; 6:9,11; Matt.5:11-12; John 16:2; Rev.6:9-10,11; Mark 8:35)

...accused of refusing to give due tribute to the Image of the Gentile beast Organization (Rev.13:15,8; 19:20). 

The false prophet ("two horned" wild beast) uses it's power ("key"/"realm"), to sanction the "ten-horned" wild beast to "kill" on the false prophet's own behalf 

(Rev.13:14NIV Rev.13:15 A; Rev.19:20NIV ; Rev.8:10,11; 9:1; Isa.28:15).
The authority and power of the false prophet/"two-horned beast", is symbolized as "fire from heaven" -Rev.13:13 (divine judgment)
LINK:("Fire from Heaven").
The two-horned false prophet empowers the Gentile Wild Beast with "breath" ("spirit-directed" Image) to be it's own instrument of judgment  and capital punishment [just as Jesus and God, genuinely do (John 20:22,23; Rev.11:11; Matt.10:20)].
(Rev.13:15 A; Dan.11:31; 8:11,12,24; Rev.13:7).
By imbuing the image of the Beast with "spirit", it appears to be "spirit-directed" by God, but it is not. It is directed by the spirit/breath of the false prophet, which is demonic (Rev.16:13,14).

Only Jesus Christ can breathe genuine Holy Spirit into his faithful chosen followers (John 20:22,23; 14:17;  1Cor.3:16; Eph.2:20,21,22), giving them the power to judge (Rev.20:4; Matt.16:19; John 20:23;  1Cor.6:2,3).

The faithful anointed are expected to follow in Christ's footsteps, including his shameful condemnation by the religious leaders of God's people (John 16:1,2,3,4; Heb.13:13; Rom.6:5; Phil.3:10;  1Cor.4:13;  2Cor.6:8 C; Rev.6:9,10,11; 11:8,9,10) and "execution" at the hands of Gentiles (Rev.11:7,10; 20:4).
LINK:("What is 'Jew'?. What is 'Gentile'?")
Do not expect Satan to let any faithful disciple (anointed or non-anointed), to slip by without being persecuted (2Tim.3:12; Luke 22:31). As with Job (Job 1:9,11,12), God allows this testing/sifting/cleansing/discipline (Amos 9:9; Haggai 2:7;  1Cor.3:13; Mal.3:1,2,3; Rev.3:18,19; Matt.3:11;  1Pet.4:1; Heb.5:8), to a responsive, symbolic "one-third" (Rev.2:9,10; Zech.13:9; Rev.9:15,20).

You are correct. Although it seems we face Satan's wrath alone (as Jesus felt while he was dying -Matt.27:46; 26:31); in truth, we are proving who we are, without any support or cheating (Matt.4:1; John 14:30; 16:33; 17:15). God's spirit does help us where needed, but the test is for us, and the reward is for our own faithfulness under test (1Cor.3:13; James 1:14;  1Cor.10:13; Rev.3:12,21). God can not do this for us. In choosing to take a righteous stand in our own heart and actions, for the God of Truth;
we prove whom and what we love, and which Master we choose to belong to, despite the adversity this brings. Nothing less is expected, of those who will be found faithful by Christ."

Four Illustrations of Revelation

Update-Addition-Clarification, to post of 
LINK:   Two Beasts of Revelation Thirteen
---------------------------------------------------
If these things seem confusing...
please read the link above first.
---------------------------------------------------

These four illustrations are about the very same identities and events.
Each illustration provides more information about each identity, and each event.

1. Christ's Steward Slave/"eating and drinking" with confirmed drunkards.
    History is replete with confirmation that the "Gentiles" of Satan's world, are spiritually "drunk"
    in their pursuit of power and position.
    The Steward Slave "eats and drinks" with them, sharing in their lust for domination.
    Part of this stolen power is demonstrated by how both these identities consume the same
    spiritual food and drink that was intended to be served to the returning Master/Bridegroom.
    To him belongs the power, and the spiritual food and drink his slaves have labored to prepare.
    (Matt.24:48,49; Luke12:36; 17:8; Isa.28:7,8,14) The returning Master will find his table,
    covered with the Steward's vomit....his house filled with unclean strangers...his faithful slaves
    struggling to be loyal, while being beaten and thrown out of the house.

2. False Prophet (with two horns)/Wild Beast (with 7 heads and 10 horns)
    The False Prophet infuses Satan's beast with "spirit". He causes all God's people to worship
    an idol... an "image" of the wild beast. This tells us that the actual tangible beast
    is not ordered to be worshiped, but rather it's collective image. (We know the beast is made up of
    collective parts, due to the description of it's heads and horns.) While the False Prophet
    does not command that the beast itself be worshiped, it empowers the Beast to enforce
    that it's image IS worshiped, under penalty of "death" (Rev.13:15). We are told that the
    result of this, is that the Beast itself is worshiped (Rev.13:12,8). Why?
    Because the Beast is the reality of it's own Image. The "earth" does not interact with the
    Image; but it does directly interact with the reality of the individual elements of the actual Beast.

    This fits perfectly the worship of the Organization of "Jehovah's Witnesses". It is not taught
    that the elders which make up the Organization, should be worshiped as individuals; but
    through the collective image of a "spirit-directed" Organization, the result is that the
    tangible Beast IS viewed as divine and spirit-directed. The elders come to be viewed as
    being individually directed by God Himself. It is believed that each elder is appointed by
    Holy Spirit, even though those truly chosen by God Himself, are dismissed. It is believed
    that any decisions the elders make must not be questioned, because acceptance of such a
    decision is viewed as equal to subjection to YHVH's spirit, ("Blasphemy" Rev.13:6) rather than
    what it actually is....
    a priestly decision made by spiritual Gentiles, un-circumcised in heart.
    In reality, God's choice by Holy Spirit is being mocked, rebelled against, and usurped.
    The result of worshiping the composite "Image" of the Organizational Beast, is that the "Image"
    is given power to kill all those who refuse to worship those who represent that "Image".
    In the name of the "Image", it's representatives act on it's behalf. In this way, the mystery
    of the Beast and it's own image is fulfilled today. Those who worship the "spirit-directed"
    "Image" of the Organization, give indirect worship to its representatives.
    How is this worship manifested? Rev.13:16,17,15 tells us.
(pearl-666.blogspot.com)
  - (Meaning-of-Buying-and-Selling
    Of course, this authority, power, stature, and illusion of spirit direction and appointment
    that the Beast possesses, is not scripturally established as true. The divine stature of the
    Organization,whose body is made up of spiritual Gentiles, exists only because 
    the False Prophet says it does.
    This is how the False Prophet tramples God's chosen priests, and instead, "breathes life into"
    the "Image" which this False Prophet exploits for it's own benefit and power.
    (Rev.13:15,8; 17:9,10,12,13)
3. Fallen star/locust-scorpions
    The "fallen star" is a star of Christ, who has fallen from heaven due to unfaithfulness.
    After accepting the key to Satan's abyss, she releases the locust-scorpions. These are then
    given authority and power, which is symbolized by what "seemed like crowns of gold".
    Those crowns belong to the anointed, but they have been stolen from them. These Gentiles,
    (who persecute the unsealed men) have replaced God's chosen priests in God's Temple.
    (Rev.1:20; Dan.12:3; Phil.2:15; Gen.15:5; Gal.3:29) (Rev.8:10,11; 9:1; Isa.14:12)
    (Rev.9:1,2,3,7; 3:11; 9:21) (Rev.9:4,5,6,10; 11:2; Dan.7:25; Luke21:24; Rev.13:5;
     Matt.24:15; 1Kings12:31; 2Chron.11:14,15; 13:9; Eze.44:8,9; Num.3:10)
4.  Harlot rides the Wild Beast
     All harlots of the Bible are adulterous to their covenant with God. In order to be an
     adulterous harlot, you must have been in a covenant with God. This is not true of "Christendom".
     The religious figures of "Christendom" are not "fallen stars" from Jesus' right hand of power.
     This harlot is "drunk with the blood of the Holy Ones and all those slain on earth".
     While on earth, Jesus confided to us who this is (Matt.23:35,37,34,38), which is confirmed at
     Rev.11:8, which tells us that this adulterous city, is the same place where Jesus was
     executed...Jerusalem...the "city" claiming to be in covenant with God.
     (Hosea 1:2; 9:1; Rev.17:6; 18:24; Matt.23:35; Rev.11:8)
     The Harlot merely rides the beast. The Beast does the killing (Rev.11:7). Therefore it is clear,
     that if the Harlot is drunk with the blood of Christ's witnesses (Rev.17:6)...she is the one
     responsible for what she directs the Beast to do.
     This reveals that she directs the "scarlet coloured" (blood-stained) wild beast,
     and uses it to eliminate her enemies.
     (Rev.17:3; 11:7; 17:6; John16:2; Matt.24:9; Luke6:22; Rev.6:9,10,11; 20:4)


I hope all readers can perceive, that these two identities (anointed and non-anointed) found within these four illustrations (who are interacting symbiotically), are the same anointed and the same non-anointed in each illustration. These four illustrations enhance each other, to paint a detailed image of reality
.....a reality that we see fulfilled in detail,
before our very eyes....within the hierarchy belonging to the Organization of "Jehovah's Witnesses".

" Jezebel "

Theocratic Warfare is well underway.
The (Wild Beast -W.T.B.T.S.)  is launching a Global Campaign to direct people to it's own website. This may not have the desired effect they wish.
This Wild Beast (along with the "Ten Kings"- the anointed who side with the Organization) are about to turn on the Governing Body "Harlot" that is "riding" it.
        (Want to see who these "Kings" are? "The Kings of the Earth")

This Harlot (the GB) has painted "herself" into a corner with their inconsistent and conflicting doctrines printed in the literature throughout the years and especially recently.  They say "the light gets brighter", as a way to mask over their faults (2Kings 9:30).
Eze.13:12,11,10; Isa.28:17; Jer.25:28-29

However, the truth never changes. If it has to be changed, then it was never "truth"...and thus it was never Light. Truth does not change. God is truth and light...with Him there is no darkness at all, and He has no need to make corrections/changes, to His Truth. (1 John 1:5) (James 1:17) (Romans 3:4)
 The only way out for this harlot "Jezebel",
    is down... through the window.



This Organization with it's overseer GB, have written their own epitaph at one of their own websites,
as follows:                      
      "Do you also believe that Bible prophecies point to our time as “the last days” of .... Jezebel continued her campaign of persecuting Jehovah's servants. ... The officials let Jezebel drop to the street below, where she was trampled by Jehu's horses".

Only Satan knows what she has up her sleeve now, by her referring to Jezebel and applying it to today.
JW doctrine promotes those who have apostatized from them, as those having the spirit of Jezebel.
Is this today's truthful interpretation?
The Bible's account of 2 Kings reads:
 (2 Kings 9:30,32,33,35,36)  
    "When Jehu arrived in Jezreel, Jezebel heard about it. She put on eye shadow, fixed her hair, and looked out of a second-story window...Looking up at the window, he asked, 'Is anyone on my side? Anyone?' Then two or three eunuchs looked out at him...He said, 'Throw her down.' They threw her down, and some of her blood splattered on the wall and the horses. The horses trampled her...They went to bury her, but they found nothing more of her than the skull and the feet and the palms of her hands....So they went back and told him, and he said, 'This fulfills the LORD's word that He spoke through His servant Elijah the Tishbite: "In the plot of land at Jezreel, the dogs will eat Jezebel's flesh." ' ".
Jesus points our attention today, to this account for good reason.
(Rev.2:20):
"Notwithstanding I have a few things against you, because you tolerate that woman Jezebel, which calls herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed to idols."

Let's get a sharper image of Jezebel today, according to Christ's description.

The first thing Jesus tells us about "her" is that Christ's slaves tolerate her (2Cor.11:19,20,4).
The "ruling" Governing Body of the JW organizaton has never "tolerated" so-called apostates...just ask anyone who has been beaten by this "Wicked Steward"...losing mates, parents, and children through disfellowshipping.
The GB may deny being a "prophet", but the realities of their actions are read and conveyed accurately by God's word.
   
    

(Micah 3:5; Eze.13:10-11,12,15-16;  1Thess.5:3)
(http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1200275944)

Remember Deut.18:22?
 "If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the LORD does not take place or come true, that is a message the LORD has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him."
If someone makes a false prophecy, and they have claimed to be a prophet of God, then they are false prophets and are not to be listened to (Matt.24:4-5,24-25).
Do the Witnesses claim to be the prophet of God? Yes, they do.

In 1972 the Jehovah's Witness Watchtower claimed (quote below)
to be the prophet of God, as follows:

"IDENTIFYING THE "PROPHET" -- "So does Jehovah have a prophet to help them, to warn them of dangers and to declare things to come? These questions can be answered in the affirmative. Who is this prophet?...This "prophet" was not one man, but was a body of men and women. It was the small group of footstep followers of Jesus Christ, known at that time as International Bible Students. Today they are known as Jehovah's Christian Witnesses...Of course, it is easy to say that this group acts as a 'prophet' of God. It is another thing to prove it," (Watchtower, Apr. 1, 1972, p. 197).

 (Rev.13:5-6,7;  2Thess.2:4)

Next, we are told that this "Jezebel" misleads God's chosen slaves (Rev.2:20) (Rev.7:3; 14:1) "to commit (spiritual) fornication" (2Cor.11:2,3,4;  1Cor.6:15-16).
The "harlot" entices the Gentiles and also God's slaves
          (by means of her "wine" -Jer.2:21; Deut.32:32; Rev.14:8; Jer.51:7-8)
to commit spiritual fornication with her (Rev.17:2; Isa.1:21; Jer.2:21-20; 13:27),
as does that same "false prophet" encourage that same idolatry (Rev.13:12,7; 19:20).
  No one is permitted to "buy and sell" spiritual provisions, without the sanction of the beasts
          (Two Beasts -Rev.13:1,11)
(Rev.13:17; 3:18; 21:6; 22:17; Isa.55:2,1).
Spiritual fornication is demanded by the lamb-like false prophet (Rev.13:11,15,17).
Under penalty of "death", the doctrines of the Wild Beast must be law (Rev.13:16) rather than the Word of God (Deut.6:6,8).

The remnant submits (Rev.13:7; 11:2; 9:10)...
"tolerating that woman Jezebel".

Next Jesus tells us, that this ruling Jezebel causes God's chosen slaves to "eat things sacrificed to idols". Revelation's idol is evident (Rev.13:14-15).
The compromise of the remnant (Rev.13:7-8) causes them to accept the intimidating directives of the false prophet, including partaking of it's lying spiritual provisions

(Rev.16:13-14,15;  2Pet.2:1; Matt.7:15,20; 24:26-27,28;  2Tim.3:13;  1Tim.4:1;  1John 4:1).
It's teachings are sacrifices to the Wild Beast Organization...to feed it's image with power, authority, and strength. For a time, those invited yet unsealed, "eat" and swallow these false doctrines/deep things of Satan (Rev.2:24). Yet the faithful of heart, are not drowned by them (Rev.12:15,14; Isa.43:1-2,3; Rev.12:16).

Judge for yourself whether "apostates" are causing all God's chosen to do these things,
whether they truly have control over a world-wide "beast" Organization to enforce their decrees...
(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)
    LINKS:(Great-Trib.-Why?) Matt.24:15 >(Abomination-of-Desolation)
and if they possess the span of power the scriptures convey, regarding "Jezebel" (Rev.13:8; 19:20).

What happened to the ancient "Jezebel"?

(2Kings 9:35-36; Isa.56:11; Jer.4:30; 15:3; Prov.6:25-26; Eze.23:35,37-38,39-40,41,45,29-30; Rev.17:1-2,6,12,16-17)              
("Who are the Dogs?")
What is it that (Revelation 17:12-13, 16) says?
Oh yes...the Beast organization and it's ten kings, will hate this ruling "Harlot" Queen... and will eat up her "flesh".
(Gal.5:17; Rom.8:7; Hosea 4:8)
The only remaining testimony of her, will be her skull, hands, and feet (2Kings 9:35)....
...the scheming of her mind, her filthy deeds, and her crooked path.
(Rev.19:3; Micah 2:1; Eze.11:2,3-4; Isa.1:15; Rev.17:6; Rom.3:15; Prov.6:18; 5:3-4,5-6,7-8,9,21; Isa.59:7; Deut.32:35)

"A man's enemies will be persons of his own household"

Here is a comment I posted at the forum.
I thought the information would be good to post here also.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jesus well knew the final scenario. He spoke of us losing family members.
Yet the GB teaches that these are those that remain inside the Organization, which are losing disfellowshipped family members, by means of their loyalty to the Organization.
They are told to remain strong...loyal to the Organization...while family members are disfellowshipped.
Which is it? Who did Jesus have in mind when he spoke about his own disciples losing familiy members due to their loyalty?
The scriptures tell us clearly.

34 “Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. 35 For I have come to ‘set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’; 36 and ‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.’ 37 He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. 38 And he who does not take his torture stake and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. 39 He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it. (Matt.10:34-39)

Our first clue, is that the division within families, caused by the sword of truth, will also cause the faithful to lose their previous lives.

Now look at verses 21,22:
"21 “Now brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. 22 And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved." (Matt.10:21,22)
(John 16:2)
Now we learn that the division in families will cause the faithful to be handed over by loved ones, to be killed.
The faithful will seem so despicable, that they will be hated by everyone in their lives, including family.
And it is clear that we are speaking of the end time, because we must "endure" this persecution, "to the end".

Who loses their former life, is handed over by loved ones to "death", and is "hated by everyone", including family members?
Is it those who are disfellowshipped for having exclusive devotion to God, or 

those who cling to and are loyal to the Organization?
Do so called "apostates" hand over their loved ones to be "killed" and thrown out of their congregation?
(John 16:2; Mark 8:35)

I know by personal experience, as well as the many letters I receive,
that those who are disfellowshipped for refusing to worship (serve and obey) the GB and Org. 
are the ones who are turned in to the "elders" by family members and "friends", to be "attacked" and "killed", under the veneer of "shepherding" (Eze.34:2,10; Jer.12:10;  1Cor.3:9,16; Jer.23:1).
The "elders" themselves view the disfellowshipping judgment to follow, as a spiritual "death".

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

On the other hand,
who do the so-called apostates turn "Jehovah's Witnesses" over to, in order for them to be disgraced and killed? 
As a rule, those who are disfellowshipped do not treat their loved ones with any less love,
but absolutely, those who are loyal to the Org., do shun disfellowshipped ones and treat them with disdain and disrepute. This is due to the teaching that those who leave the organization, are leaving God. This is a lie. The God of salvation, is not the organizational Idol 

(Ps.146:3,5;  1Cor.7:23; Gal.1:10; Col.3:24)

(https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2013/05/mark-of-beast.html)

Those loyal to the Org. do not lose their lives through this pattern (John 16:2; Mark 13:13; Matt.10:36,39; 25:44,45,46), but certainly,
those disfellowshipped ones, who have spent decades serving the Organization and have raised their children accordingly,
and have chosen a marriage mate as directed,
have lost the life they knew. The losses include friends, marriage mates, children, and parents....exactly as described by Christ!

For even more clarity on who it is who suffers loss for the sake of Christ,
let's examine the scriptures that describe HOW the faithful lose their lives, family, and reputation.

Those who take an open stand for the scriptures, are judged and expelled by the local "elders".
These believe that they have the authority and power to judge and spiritually "kill",
depriving the person of the life they knew, including contact with loved ones.
They believe that in doing so, they are serving God.
Jesus also knew these details, regarding those who would lose their lives and family.
He said:
"“These things I have spoken to you, that you should not be made to stumble. 2 They will put you out of the synagogues; (Greek: "de-church you/dis-fellowship you) yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service. 3 And these things they will do to you because they have not known the Father nor Me. 4 But these things I have told you, that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you of them." (John 16:1-4)

Where do "elders" get the idea that they have this authority to judge the anointed and destroy their lives? (1Cor.3:17)
Are they themselves mislead?

"Elders" practice a belief in the following scriptures...

"22 And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”  (John 20:22,23)

"17 And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the church. But if he refuses even to hear the church, let him be to you like a heathen and a tax collector.
18 “Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." (Matt.18:17,18)
                      (NOTE: Who is the "church"? See Eph.5:23,25; Rev.21:9,10;  1Cor. 12:27,18,27,28; 6:2)
"I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."(Matt.16:19)

Yet a closer look at those cited verses reveal that this authority is not for non-anointed Gentile elders at all, but is given to those of the faithful anointed, the Lamb's wife. (1Cor.6:2,3)
("Elders Spirit-appointed?")

"Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? If the world is judged by you, are you not competent to try trivial cases? Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more matters of this life?" (1Cor.6:2,3)

But certainly,
if it were not proper for "elders" to judge and "kill" anointed for their dissonance with the governing leaders (Mark 10:42,43; Col. 2:18), due to elders exercising of a false authority;
would not such a supposed error, also be mentioned by Christ in his end time prophecies?

"He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he takes his seat (of judgment) in God's temple, proclaiming himself to be God." (2Thess.2:4)

(https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2015/01/who-are-gods.html)

"God's Temple" is the anointed priesthood (1Pet.2:5,9; Eph.2:20,21,22;  1Cor.3:16).
According to  2Thess.2:3,4, there is an apparent "man of lawlessness", who is exalted above that Temple,
which puts God's Temple under "him".
Confirmation comes for this scenario, when we read Rev.11:2....
"2 But leave out the court which is outside the temple, and do not measure it, for it has been given to the Gentiles. And they will tread the holy city underfoot for forty-two months." (Rev.11:2)
(Mark 13:14; Matt.24:15-16; Eze.36:8)(https://pearl-disgustingthing.blogspot.com)

Christ is to be the head of his anointed body of priests (Eph.5:23; 1:22; Col.1:18). 

Those priests are to be slaves of God alone (Rev.7:3; 14:1).
Any who subject these chosen ones under them, usurp the headship of Christ over those to be his wife (2Cor.11:2,3,4,20; Rev.13:10,7).
They make themselves "equal to God" (2Thess.2:4), because they dare replace Him as Master over his Sons and Daughters. 
Could it be true, that the elders do not have genuine authority to judge and destroy the anointed slaves of God? (1Cor.3:16,17; Isa.49:25)
"Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand." (Rom.14:4)

"Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 33 Who dares to bring a charge against God’s Chosen Ones? It is God himself who justifies them. 34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us." (Rom.8:1,33,34) 
(See Hosea 4:4)

Why then, do "elders" believe that they have authority to judge and condemn, dishonor, expel, and take the life and family from any Chosen Ones who dare,
to stand up against the false doctrines of the wicked steward? (Rev.2:20,21) (2Cor.10:5) 

(Rev.2:20 -"deceives my servants")
Where does their authority and power to do this really come from?
Does prophecy describe this circumstance?

The book of Revelation describes a false prophet. A close look at what this one creates, is intensely interesting...

"11 Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. 14 And he deceives my own people ("Who are God's People?")
(link for "my own people" footnote) who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in behalf of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived. 15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed." (Rev.13:11,14,15) 

"Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in behalf of the Beast, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image." (Rev.19:20)

(Rev.9:8; Isa.3:12,13,14; 28:14,15; 9:16,15; (Rev.9:19); Eze.13:15,16; 7:25; Jer.8:11; Hosea 4:1; Joel 2:1; 3:2,12,13,14; Micah 3:5; 6:2; Isa.3:13; Dan.7:9,10,22; Rev.20:12,15; Rev.13:8) Zeph.3:19,20; Jer.29:14; Mark 13:27; Rom.9:26; Zech.8:8

Note that this false prophet, who is misleading God's own people (the Anointed --1Pet. 2:10,9; Matt.24:24-25)
gives "breath" (spirit -- John 20:22-23) to an image of the Beast, enabling this false image of possessing spirit, to judge and kill all those who do not recognize it's new "spirit-directed" authority.

The false prophet performs this sign, "in behalf of the Beast", so it can now use this new authority and power, to kill any who do not worship it (Rev.13:15)
Yes, the image that this Beast possesses Holy Spirit is false, because that spirit/breath, was from the mouth of the false prophet...not from God. (Rev.11:11; John 20:22; Gen.2:7)
Where does the spirit that comes from the mouth of the false prophet come from?

"13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14 For they are spirits of demons" (Rev.16)

By means of the breath of the false prophet, the Wild Beast gains authority to deceive, dominate, and "kill", even the Holy Ones. (Rev.13:7,8,10; 11:7)....
Just as the "man of lawlessness" does (2Thess.2:4;  1Cor.3:16).....
and just as the Gentiles do (Rev.11:2).
We are told the "number" of the Beast, is the very same number as a "man" (Rev.13:18NIV;  2Thess.2:3-4).
http://pearl-666.blogspot.com

----https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2018/02/who-is-false-prophet-who-gives-breath.html

So we see that there is a Gentile force that stands in the anointed Temple of God, deceives it into subjection to deception (Rev.13:10; Col.2:8; Matt.24:24-25), and has the power to "kill" any who do not obey it.
We see that the Gentile Beast has received that image of spirit authority, on the bases of a false prophet.
We see that the Gentile Beast kills God's prophets (Rev.11:7) for their refusal to submit and worship the Beast (Rev.20:4); and replaces the priests they "kill", as God's spirit-directed exclusive channel, for spiritual provisions 
(Rev.13:17; 6:6; 18:11; Isa.55:2,1; Rev.3:18; 2:7; 21:6; John 7:38; Rev.22:17,1,2)

Is it ever acceptable for spiritual Gentiles (Rom.2:28,29) to perform the duties of God's chosen priesthood, by subverting and replacing them in the midst of His Temple? 

(Eze.44:6,7,8,9;  2Chron.23:6; Mark 13:14)

Is it proper for an anointed steward to install and sanction such an arrangement of a Gentile priesthood to trample down the genuine anointed of God ...claiming that it is born and backed by God's Spirit?

6 “Now say to the rebellious, to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “O house of Israel, let Us have no more of all your abominations. 7 When you brought in foreigners, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in My sanctuary to defile it—My temple—and when you offered My food, the fat and the blood, then they broke My covenant because of all your abominations. 8 And you have not kept charge of My holy things, but you have set others to keep charge of My sanctuary for you.” 9 Thus says the Lord God: “No foreigner, uncircumcised in heart or uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter My sanctuary, including any foreigner who is among the children of Israel." (Eze.44:6-9)
Mark 13:14 (https://pearl-disgustingthing.blogspot.com)

Who is it, that has received the "circumcision of the heart" so that they may serve in God's Temple acceptably? Col.2:11,12,13; Rev.5:9,10

"...but he is a Jew (children of Abraham) who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, by the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God." (Rom.2:29)
"And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise." (Gal.3:29)
"...you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ." (1Pet.2:5)
"

So....Do Gentiles belong serving as Temple priests....dominating the Holy Ones, trampling them, and casting them out? (2Chron.13:9)
Could this be viewed as "a disgusting thing, standing in the holy place"? (Matt.24:15-16; Mark 13:14)
( https://pearl-disgustingthing.blogspot.com )
Was it foretold that this would take place?
Yes...
               "And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations.
                 And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled." (Luke 21:24)
.....under the dominion of the Gentile Beast, who is granted authority over them, by the false prophet.
               "He who goes into captivity shall go into captivity; he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword.
               Here is the patience and the faith of the saints." (Rev.13:10)

 Col.2: "8 See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ." (Col.2:8)

Despite this powerful captivity to deception, there are some Holy Ones who do stand up against the false image of the Beast (Dan.11:32), an Image purported as having Holy Spirit / as if having divine authority (2Thess. 2:4).
Then, In harmony with the power the false prophet granted the Beast,
they are then killed by it (Rev.11:7; Rev.6:9-11; 12:10,11; 15:2; 14:5).

That "killing" includes, the loss of family (Mark 10:29), one's former life (Mark 8:35; Luke 17:31,32,33), and one's good repute (Heb.13:13; Mark 13:13;  1Cor.4:10,13; Eze.22:9; Isa.66:5; John 16:2,4).
Despite this, we gladly prove our exclusive devotion to God, and thereby, save our lives.
(2Tim.2:10,11,12,13; Rom.3:3; Num.23:19; Ex.34:14; Isa.42:8; Matt.4:10; Rev.15:3,4)

(Rev.13:16; Isa.44:20; Matt.5:30; Rom.1:25; Eph.4:25)
(Matt.10:37,38; Luke 17:33,32; Phil.3:13; Luke 9:62)

"And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom (Jer.23:14) and Egypt (Isa.36:6; Rev.9:11), where also our Lord was crucified (Matt.16:21; 23:37,35; Rev.18:24). 9 Then those from the peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations will see their dead bodies three-and-a-half days, and not allow their dead bodies to be put into graves. 10 And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, make merry, and send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth." (Rev.11:8-10)

So...according to prophecy, IS it those who remain loyal to men in power that lose family for the sake of truth;
Or, is it those who are cast out, despised, and rejected by Gentiles in power? 

Is it the expelled faithful and courageous anointed who are the ones who truly suffer all loss, for righteousness' sake?

We must consider that the intense and dire, Great Tribulation / Great Test that comes upon God's people to test their loyalty to him may not be physical at all, but spiritual.  

Perhaps this is why Jesus said most of his slaves would not even take note, or know what day he came upon them for inspection. 
(Luke 17:26,27; Matt.24:43;  1Thess.5:2,4;  2Pet.3:10; Rev.16:15; 3:3; Luke 19:41,42,43,44)
