AboutBrother Rando Expertise Jehovah is the same now and has been from time indefinite to time indefinite. God never changes. "God is not a man that he should tell lies, Neither a son of mankind that he should feel regret." (Numbers 23:19) However, the Only-Begotten Son has a different History. Michael the Archangel, who is "the beginning of ALL Creation", humbled himself and became a "perfect man" through human birth and was given a name, Jesus (Pilippians2:6-11) anointed "Christ" by Jehovah's Holy Spirit at 30,(John 1:32-36)resurrected to a "Superior Position". (Philippians 2:9,10) When Exalted to Heaven to the angels who were imprisoned during Noah's Time.(1Peter 3:19) He preached that angels and authorities and powers were now made subject to him.(1Peter3:22) Satan rejected Michael's "Superior Position" (Philippians 2:9) and rejected his new Name (Jesus) Rev 3:12 so that every knee should bend of those in heaven.(Philippians 2:10) In 1914, War broke out in Heaven when Christ and his angels cleansed the heavens of satan's influence.(Rev 12:7-19) Satan is now deceiving the inhabited earth about this Glorious Good News about the Christ.(2 Cor 4:4) John called Jesus, "the Lamb of God" at the time of his Anointing.(John 1:36) Michael and Jesus are the same person in being the Chief Son. Michael was created by Jehovah God and brought AGAIN into the inhabited earth, GIVEN authority over Heaven and earth as "Jesus Christ".(Heb 1:6-9) However "Woe to the earth" because the Devil having great anger, knowing he has a short period of time. (Rev 12:12) The battle over Jehovah's Sovereignty is between two Angels. Christ and Satan.(Rev 12:7) Jesus is the Archangel that battles Satan.(1 Thess 4:16) Also, read Galatians 4:14, Exodus 14:19, 1 Cor 10:1-4 Heb 5:5,5:8 Acts 13:33 Psalms 2:7-9 Exodus 23:20-21. Research Angel of Great Counsel. Jesus Christ,“the Faithful Witness,”(Rev 1:5) These are the things that the Amen says, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation by God.(Rev 3:14)
Experience I am a baptized Jehovah's Witness bearing Witness to "The Truth" for decades now and will gladly answer questions from sheep like one's. The wolves I will pummel and continue to Conquer, for the One that Conquers is given the morning star! (Rev 2:28)
Organizations I am property of the "Faithful and Discreet Slave" that Jesus, my brother, has appointed over his belongings in the Last Days. This Slave is Jehovah's Earthly Organization known Worldwide as "Jehovah's Witnesses". When the World organizations act against God's chosen people after Babylon has fallen, Jehovah will slaughter those who are touching the pupils of his eyes.
Publications 1 Thess 4:16 Scripture stating "the Lord himself", "Commanding Call", "Archangels' Voice", and "God's Trumpet" give overwhelming evidence that this is the "word of God" himself. The fact remains that Jesus is called "the word of God", and for good reason. He alone is Jehovah's Chief Messenger! Archangel when Translated means "Chief Son" or "Principle Son". Yes, Even Foremost Son. This Chief Messenger delivers God's message of Salvation that everyone believing in him might be saved! In prayer, Jesus refers to his Father has "the only true God". (John 17:3)
Education/Credentials Extensive Study of Religions and the Scriptures I am able to answer questions few people know about or can even answer. Many of my fellow brothers and sisters are given Insight as they learn from the True God Jehovah, who is the "Revealer Of Secrets." I am Nothing but a fellow messenger who slaves for His Master. I am NOT an EXPERT, I know "the truth" and that "the truth" is my brother and I do what "my brother" wants of me. As for the World, it Hates me as the World hated my brother before me. Amen.
Awards and Honors Here's a NON JW Site discrediting the Trinity in great detail. Others are finding that the Jehovah Witnesses are RIGHT! http://www.angelfire.com/journal2/adrianbiblestudents/trinityfalsedoctrine.html
In the deceptive translation of the KJV, it denies that Christ died and was risen on the third day, instead the KJV states Jesus and the evildoer went to Paradise in the same day they were to die. "today you will be with Me in Paradise." (Luke 23:43 KJV) A clever way to deny that Christ was to rise on the third day! The NWT is the only correct translation of ALL translations, stating, “Truly I tell you today, You will be with me in Paradise.” JW's know that Christ went to Sheol for parts of three days. Satan wants you to believe Jesus didn't die but went to Paradise? Trinitarians, Born Agains, and all of False Religion have rejected the sign of Jonah which Jesus gave. (Luke 11:29) Today, the same hypocrites deny the Parousia of the Christ and continue to deny the composite or collective sign of the Last Days that we have already entered!
Past/Present Clients It was evident that Paul preached to some of the scribes that he seen an angel and that this spirit was in fact Jesus in his true form even though premature. (Acts 9:3-5, Acts 23:9, Rev 22:16) The KJV is a "Doctrine of Mistranslations." Few know the KJV as well as JW's do. Theos when translated to English means (a god) as it is written in Acts 28:6. However, through Deception, the KJV leaves the article out of John 1:1. Which way is it "a" or not "a" is the question. Because if "a" is inserted then the True Scripture is revealed in John 1:1. And if the "a" is to be removed, then how can Paul be God in Acts 28:6? The KJV, simply a book of evolution that Christendom's Translators can't get right. LOL
I am studying the scriptures with the local Jehovah’s Witnesses. We have been studying the book “What Does the Bible Really Teach” I have also been praying and reading the scriptures. I have come across some things however that has raised some questions for me. I asked the bothers at my local Kingdom Hall about some of these things and they gave me some info, but it didn’t explain my query.
My question relate to the following scripture below in particular verse 17. I have quoted from the New World Translation of the Scriptures.
"Moreover, brothers, we do not want YOU to be ignorant concerning those who are sleeping [in death]; that YOU may not sorrow just as the rest also do who have no hope. For if our faith is that Jesus died and rose again, so, too, those who have fallen asleep [in death] through Jesus God will bring with him. For this is what we tell YOU by Jehovah’s word, that we the living who survive to the presence of the Lord shall in no way precede those who have fallen asleep [in death]; because the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a commanding call, with an archangel’s voice and with God’s trumpet, and those who are dead in union with Christ will rise first. Afterward we the living who are surviving will, together with them, be caught away in clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and thus we shall always be with [the] Lord" (1 Thessalonians 4:13-17)
Verse 17 states “Afterward we the living who are surviving will, together with them, be caught away in clouds to meet the Lord..”
If I understand correctly the belief of the 144,000 being raised to heaven, it teaches that in 1914 at the end of the times of the gentiles, Jesus Christ was starting to rule in his Kingdom power, and part from world war being one of the signs of this presence, another result of it was anointed Christians started to be raised to heaven, the living who are surviving would go to be with them by being resurrected as a spirit being in a “twinkling of a eye”
This means that thousands already dead by 1914 are in heaven as we speak and that the little flock now living, who are surviving can’t be caught away together with those resurrected little flock that died before 1914.
“..We the living who are surviving will, together with them, be caught away in clouds..” How can the little flock surviving, together with them, be caught away in clouds, as time separates them? “Together” means “at the same time” The passage is saying both dead and living will, together be caught away in clouds to the Lord in the air.
The greek word is hama meaning at the same time, at once, together.
My second question is concerning the "discreet slave" is based on Matthew 24:45-47.
However if the application of figures in Jesus' corresponding parables as members of a class were consistent, there would also be a "ten-mina class" and "five-mina class" relating to Luke 19:12-27 and a "many strokes class" and "few strokes class" arising from Luke 12: 47-48.
Yours sincerely,
Glenn Berg
Answer Verse 17 states “Afterward we the living who are surviving will, together with them, be caught away in clouds to meet the Lord..”
The 144,000 go through a baptism of death, even though time separates one from another, spiritually they become living at the same time. This is when they inherit their "morning star".
... they came to life and ruled as kings with the Christ for a thousand years. This is the first resurrection. Happy and holy is anyone having part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of God and of the Christ, and will rule as kings with him for the thousand years. (Rev 20:4:6)
These are called the firstfruits for they "come to life" at the "beginning" of the 1,000 year reign. (Armageddon)
(The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) These are the subjects of the new Jerusalem. These ones inherit everlasting life on the earth. (Paradise, God's Holy Mountain) Satan delayed God's purpose of expanding the Garden of Eden worldwide.
My second question is concerning the "discreet slave" is based on Matthew 24:45-47.
Luke 12 is about "understanding" and Luke 19 is talking about Jesus coming into Kingdom Power. The brothers of Christ that are faithful are given "life within themselves" and they become one with the Father in a spiritual sense. The ones that are unfaithful are destroyed forever.
As a subject of new Jerusalem, you can have life in abundance. If a subject proves unfaithful in this system or the next, their life is measured by the faithful course only. So if a man dies at the age of 100 in the next system, he dies a mere child. (Isaiah 65:20) Only in this way a stroke is measured.
"The wolf and the lamb themselves will feed as one, and the lion will eat straw just like the bull; and as for the serpent, his food will be dust. They will do no harm nor cause any ruin in all my holy mountain,” Jehovah has said." (Isaiah 65:25)
