The prophet Jeremiah foretold a spiritual "recuperation," and a glorious spiritual restoration for the EARTHLY "Jerusalem" of God's making, God's "Name" City (Jeremiah 25:29) by saying the following: |
"Here I am bringing up for her a recuperation and health; and I will heal them and reveal to them an abundance of peace and truth. And I will bring back the captives of Judah and the captives of Israel, and I will build them just as at the start. And I will purify them from all their errors with which they have sinned against me, and I will forgive all their errors with which they have sinned against me and with which they have transgressed against me. And she [Jerusalem] will certainly become to me a name of exultation, a praise and a beauty toward all the nations of the earth who will hear of all the goodness that I am rendering to them [the captives]. And they will certainly be in dread and be agitated on account of all the goodness and on account of all the peace that I am rendering to her [Jerusalem]." -- Jeremiah 33:6-9 |
The above bible account of prophecy raises some very interesting questions that could be pondered at this time, by all keen students of bible prophecy.
God's Kingdom Government, An Earthly Kingdom Arrangement??? |
|
For instance the reference to the "Holy Mountain of Decoration" mentioned in Daniel 11th chapter, which is given Divine Protection from the menacing attack of the King of the North, during the "time of the end." Daniel 11:44, 45 says, |
"And it must occur in the final part of the days that the mountain of the house of Jehovah will become firmly established above the top of the mountains, and it will certainly be lifted up above the hills; and to it ALL THE NATIONS MUST STREAM. And many peoples will certainly go and say: "Come, you people, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will instruct us about his ways, and we will walk in his paths. For out of Zion law will go forth, and the word of Jehovah out of Jerusalem. And he will certainly render judgment among the nations and set matters straight respecting many peoples. And they will have to beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn war anymore." |
Again, this prophecy clearly shows us the Kingdom of God, being established upon earth for the benefit of all mankind. In this particular setting, Isaiah's prophecy shows the Kingdom of God as being an exalted "mountain," that is raised high "above the hills" and even the "tops of mountains" of its time. It vividly shows "ALL the nations" of the earth, all of them, then must "stream" to this particular highly exalted earthly Mountain of God, the earthly "House of the God of Jacob." This means, that all nations of the earth at that time, will adhere to the Divine Instruction and Guidance, even Divine Law, that "goes forth from Zion," God's Kingdom Government, which is now established upon earth. |
In the above bible account, it mentions those that may be privileged to "gain entrance into the city," the holy city of Jerusalem. So it is clear, we are discussing "New Jerusalem," here in this instance. However, did you notice the next verse says "OUTSIDE are the dogs," and other unsavory individuals who are practicing sin? Yes, "outside" of "New Jerusalem", outside of the "walls" of New Jerusalem, will indeed be such ones. But let's reason on this. Surely, we are not saying that IN HEAVEN WITH JEHOVAH, there will those that are filthy "dogs," or those that practice "spiritism," or unrepentant "fornicators" in the Holy Presence of Jehovah God in heaven, are we? No, but you would say, no that means ON EARTH ... right? |
But then, that would mean 2 things: |
Perhaps, we remember the key bible text found at Revelation 5:9, 10 which speaks about the "kings" and "priests" of God, ruling "OVER the earth", according to the New World Translation. The Watchtower Society suggests, using this verse, the "kings" and "priests" of God will rule up in heaven. However, if one would check the actual literal word-for-word Greek rendering of this same verse, as shown within the Watchtower Society's own Kingdom Interlinear Translation (1969), you will notice the more correct and literal rendering of this verse actually says the "kings" and "priests" of God will rule "UPON THE EARTH". That's right, it really says "upon the earth," and not "over the earth," as the Watchtower Society insists in their dogma. Now that's quite a difference in thought, wouldn't you say? |

The “Fiery Furnace” -- What Does It Picture???
|
|
we notice, that some are not invited to be a part of this wondrous EARTHLY arrangement, since they are "thrown OUTSIDE" of this Kingdom of God's making. |
Think about it! |
could or would ever question, in their eyes! How dare anyone even suggest, these self-proclaimed "Christians" had in any way, damaged their holy relationship with Jehovah by way of "community guilt," because of the hidden UN-NGO Affair on the part of the Governing Body!!! (Compare Revelation 18:4.) Oh yes, this holier-than-thou attitude was particularly evident among a large number of Jehovah's Witnesses (former or current), individuals who often frequented the internet and had over a long period of time, yes even separated themselves from the organization of Jehovah's Witnesses over private grievances with JW leadership, in some cases for many years. Because of their self-righteous attitudes, these individuals could never, ever see the big picture here, as well as how they themselves were personally involved in this most powerful prophetic drama! Think about it!

Therefore, if you believe this "mustard grain" to become a Giant "Tree" to be God's Newly Established Kingdom Arrangement which by the Grace of God, will one day exist "upon earth," as Jesus promised, "as it is in heaven," then this prophecy matches up very well, with the one at Ezekiel 17:22-24. (Matthew 6:10) In this prophecy, it describes the same EARTHLY situation of the tiny "mustard grain" that later gains Worldwide attention. The prophecy states:
