Before we begin our reply in regards to this subject we should first like to note some of what the Society has to say on the issue.
The following was taken from the website: Facts About Jehovah's Witnesses
Watchtower Development
Imagine for a second that Watchtower is not the true religion...
Similar to our study on the differences between the beliefs and interpretation of scripture between Bible Students and Seventh Day Adventist there exist the same in respects to Bible Students and Jehovah’s Witnesses. Although both groups are commonly perceived to be one in the same because of...
Before we begin this discussion, we should first like to clear up a common misconception, one which has been fostered no less by the Jehovah’s Witnesses themselves, it involves who the founder of the organization was and what teachings or materials the organization uses in their study and...
Revelation Chapter 14
VERSE 4 continued “These are the ones who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These were redeemed from among men, being first fruits to God and to the Lamb.”
In our previous post we learned just who...
Revelation Chapter 14
VERSE 3 “They sang as it were a new song before the throne, before the four living creatures, and the elders; and no one could learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who were redeemed from the earth.”
Only the 144,000 will ever sing this “new song” in...
Revelation Chapter 14
VERSE 2 continued “And I heard a voice from heaven, like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of loud thunder. And I heard the sound of harpists playing their harps.”
Some question:
Since the harp represents the Word of God in Scripture, wouldn’t the “voice” of...
Revelation Chapter 14
Verses 1-5 as explained by Brother Shallieu in his commentary, The Keys of Revelation
VERSE 1 “Then I looked, and behold, a Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His Father’s name written on their foreheads.”
As was alluded...
Revelation Chapter 14
VERSE 3 “They sang as it were a new song before the throne, before the four living creatures, and the elders; and no one could learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who were redeemed from the earth.”
AND THEY SANG A NEW SONG: Just as the prophecies...
Revelation Chapter 14
VERSE 1 “Then I looked, and behold, a Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His Father’s name written on their foreheads.”
AND I LOOKED: Here, again, John uses his reliable focus changer. Since Rev 13:11 we have been...
Revelation Chapter 14
In our previous study we were examining Chapter 13 of Revelation, however in truth we had not in reality completed our study of this chapter, we merely finished the chapter according to how it is commonly ended at Verse 18 in our bibles. Chapter 13 does not end at Verse...
THE PARABLE OF THE DRAG-NET
The seventh and last of the Kingdom parables is that of the Dragnet.
"The Kingdom of Heaven is like unto a net that was cast into the sea and gathered fish of every kind; which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels...
Having considered the first four of the little group of seven parables recorded in the 13th chapter of Matthew we move on to the fifth.
THE PARABLE OF THE HIDDEN TREASURE
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes...
“Another parable He spoke to them: “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal till it was all leavened.” (Matt 13:33)
PROFESSING CHURCH ASSUMES BABYLONISH CHARACTER (Excerpt taken from The Herald of Christ's Kingdom, October 1921)
“Into these...
THE PARABLE OF THE LEAVEN HIDDEN IN THE MEAL
“Another parable He spoke to them: “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal till it was all leavened.” (Matt 13:33)
The fourth parable, that of a woman who hid leaven in three measures of meal...
THE PARABLE OF THE MUSTARD SEED
“Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field, which indeed is the least of all the seeds; but when it is grown it is greater than the herbs and becomes a tree, so that the...
"He spoke many things unto them in parables." - Matt 13:3.
The following lesson comes from an article from The Herald of Christ’s Kingdom dated February, 1956 and compliments our study on Mystic Babylon its rise and fall as well as providing some needful insight into several of our Lord’s...
The Harlot’s Name!
“The Revelation of our Lord to the Apostle John is a book of signs, in which the things stated symbolize the things meant. To illustrate: In this book a woman is used to represent a church—a pure woman, a pure church—a false woman, an apostate church. In Rev 17:1-6 a picture...
“And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me (the John class, representing the Lord’s people still in the flesh here at the end of the gospel age, i.e., during its Harvest), saying unto me, ‘Come hither; I will show unto thee the judgment of the great...
THE VOICE OF PRESENT TRUTH
It becomes an important question then:
Have ALL God’s people heard this Voice?
We answer that we do not think all have yet heard; hence there must be many true Christians still in Babylon, partakers of her sins, but confused because of ignorance, because of lack of...
“…He calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. And when he puts forth his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.” (John 10:3-5)
“Come out of...
