The
Illustrative Prophecy of the 10 Virgins and the Seller:Matthew
25:1-13
To help us expose
the Governing Body and what it is doing that makes “Her”
Apostate,we will looking at Matthew 25:1-13. “The Illustrative
Prophecy of the 10 Virgins and the Seller” is revealing what is
going on within the Organisation of Jehovahs Witnesses right now.
As with any truth from Jehovah in the Bible, it exposes things not
seen until that part of the Bible is explored. This is certainly true
of the illustration Jesus gave in Matthew 25:1-12 .There will be 3
identities exposed for us to see and what they are doing.
Invited
Anointed as The “10 Virgin” Class or group,long for their hope of
being in Heaven along with the others from the past 19 centuries who
will form the 144,000 Bride to the Bridegroom,Christ Himself. But,the
The
Illustrative Prophecy of the “10 Virgins and the Seller” from
Matthew 25,warns that many will miss out on this Heavenly hope. As
many as “5” out of “10”! What is the danger that is so
serious that IT ROBS many Invited Anointed within Jehovah's Witnesses
of their Heavenly Hope ?
What
is the point of looking into the original Greek and contextual
meanings in this illustration ? It will be established that the “10
Invited Anointed Virgins” as a Class are within the Organisation of
Jehovah's Witnesses. This can be established by using the
chronological events of the illustration. This being the case,the
5 Virgin Wise and 5 Virgin Fools and the drama unfolding between
these “2 groups within the same Hope”,are to be found amongst
Invited Anointed within the Organisation of Jehovah's Witnesses.
Thus
the drama predicted by Jesus the Bridegroom between these 2 groups,
who would form His Sealed Bride is happening within Jehovah's
Witnesses. We do not want to miss out on knowing what is going on
with Invited Anointed within the Organisation,do we ? Jesus gave this
illustration so we wouldnt miss an important chapter of the Kingdoms
history.
Also
to be established is why the 5 Virgin Fools missed out on going into
the marriage feast with the Bridegroom...but why the 5 Virgin Wise
were able to go into the feast. Many presume because of the way its
wrongly translated and written in many/most bible translations,that
it was because the “5 Fools” did not have enough oil to see Jesus
Arrival and this is why the Fools missed out. That they were called
Fools because they didnt plan ahead to have enough Oil as the Wise
did.
It will proven
that this is not the case. Something far more important was missing
in the 5 Fools that the 5 Wise Virgins had faithfully kept.
If
it wasnt a lack of Oil or Holy Spirit,what was it that stopped the
Virgin Fools seeing the Bridegrooms arrival? Why did the 5 Virgin
Wise see His arrival..and what did the Virgin Wise say to the
Fools that exposes the real reason for their blindness and missing
out on their Hope ?
Jesus
through the “5 Virgin Wise”,explain why the Fools were blind and
will miss out on their longed for heavenly hope.
Lets repeat
that...its “5” out of “10” of the Virgin Invited Anointed...
within... Jehovah's Witnesses that miss out on their Heavenly
Hope. As Jesus said: Many (“10”) are Invited but (“5”)are
Chosen. Though not literal in
their numbers of 10 and 5, “many” Invited will not get into the
Kingdom with their Bridegroom.
Very
importantly,it will be established that there was a third party
mentioned by Jesus that heavily influences,corrupts and bullies
the 5 Virgins to become Fools … to give
away what was needed for them to see their Master and Bridegroom
arriving. This is The “Seller”,who is within the Organisation.
It
will be established that this third party that was involved in
keeping the the 5 Virgin Fools 1/Blind,2/Asleep and 3/Bullied into an
adulterous condition towards the Bridegroom is the Governing Body
of Jehovah's Witnesses and that they are now Apostate
Invited Anointed.
What
is the key Issue mentioned in the Illustration that divides the group
into two...That the Governing Body wants to keep quiet ? That the
Messianic Kingdom was NOT born in 1914..and that Jesus did NOT Arrive
just after that. Jesus makes this plain within the illustration !
Its those who shine Light and Speak Out for their soon to
Arrive Bridegroom that enter heaven!
Please
be aware that there is a lot of information in these 13
verses that will be addressed. If it appears that some points are
mentioned many times,this so that there is a connection between all
points. This has been an overwhelming researching of Greek and
contextual meanings to seek an explanation,so please be patient in
getting to the answers. Sometimes there will be a reference to
something that hasnt been proven yet. But it will be later on. EG. A
few times,there is mention that the Governing Body is “the Harlot”,
which of course is in Revelation. This will be addressed in the blog
as a separate heading: “What is the Harlot” So be assured it will
be covered.
Dont
try to read it all in one sitting and expect it to sink in. Pray to
Jah for help as I did. We need His help to understand anything that
He inspired to be written. An effort has been made to break up the
illustration into each verse. Take each section at a time. The
warning within the Illustration is important enough to persevere and
see the dangers the now apostate Governing Body pose to all of
Jehovah's Witnesses.
One
thing that is staggering when researching Jesus illustration,is how
Jehovah must have been behind the development of the Greek
language that was used to have the “Greek Scriptures”or “New
Testament” part of the Bible Recorded. That it was sophisticated
and complex enough to carry all the meanings significant enough to
describe events just before Jesus Arrival is incredible. It could
only be Him behind it AND that it was preserved the way
Jehovah intended over 19 centuries so its original meanings would
expose significant events just before His Son arrived as King of the
Kingdom. When you see these explanations as we go through them,you
will see that only Jehovah could make this happen.
The
Chronology of the Illustrative Prophecy of the 10 virgins and the
Seller.
It
can be established by looking at the events in the illustration,that
it applies to what has happened and is happening amongst Invited
Anointed within the Organisation of Jehovah's Witnesses...and that
the vital messages within the illustration, is primarily for Invited
Anointed amongst Jehovah's Witnesses. Of course what is happening
within the Governing Body and all Invited Anointed effects non
anointed also,but the primary application of the illustration applies
to Invited Anointed Virgins,those who have the Heavenly Hope. Thats
because “5” out of the “10” Virgins within JWs miss out on
Heaven..and Invited Anointed are the “First Fruits”.
We
will look at the overall chronological events in the order they
happened.
Matthew 25:1 “Then
shall be compared the Kingdom of the heavens to ten virgins,who
taking the lamps of them went out to a meeting of the bridegroom.”
Verse 5 “Delaying
but the bridegroom,nodded all and slept.”
Verse 6 (at) mid And
night,a cry occurred:Behold,the bridegroom comes ! Go forth to a
meeting of him.”
Notice
in Verse 1 that all 10 Virgins went out to “ meet the bridegroom”.
V5.“While the bridegroom was delaying” they ALL nodded and went
to sleep. In the middle of the night,there was a cry,they awoke and
Jesus arrives.
There
are 2 times where the Bridegrooms arrival was expected by the “10
Virgins” as a Class.
1/
When they first got it wrong,then they nodded and went to sleep,then
there was a cry,
2/
The second time,they were awakened by someone not of the 10
virgins,Then the Virgin Wise were prepared and Jesus did arrive. The
Fools didnt know when this was going to happen.
There
was a period of time between:
1/
The first mistaken Arrival expectation and
2/
Jesus true Arrival.
3/There
was an unspecified period of time between these 2 events in which
“sleep” occurs.
The
first time,it was by their own misconceptions that they went out
to meet the Bridegroom (His arrival) and the second time,someone
not of the 10 Virgins awoke them and the drama played out
within the group begins just before the Bridegroom Arrives.
What was it
that made them think He was arriving before they went to sleep ? Only
one thing could,and thats the mistaken idea of the Kingdoms Birth in
1914. WHY else would they have wrongly expected His Arrival? That was
the ONLY reason.
The
second time was when the Bridegroom was arriving...after the
10 Virgins had fallen asleep after the initial wrong understanding..
The
second expectation shows what had to be done before the Virgins could
meet the Bridegroom,something that wasnt addressed in the First
expected encounter because they went to sleep.
How
can you be truly ready if you fall asleep ? Verse 10 shows that those
who were ready went in. This was after they had fallen asleep. So
in the 1st expectation,Jesus
makes note they wern't ready because they fell asleep!
The
key word that will be looked at is “prepared” which is included in the last heading. In the first
expectation,they wernt “prepared” and in the second case they
were awakened so they could be “prepared”. It will be explained
why this WAS needed,but for now,Jesus mentioning this being
“prepared” shows the initial expectation could NOT have been the
right time that the Bridegroom would or could arrive.
Why
would the Bridegroom come if the Bride wasnt ready..or “prepared”
? He couldnt,which is why time passed and in the second instance,the
Wise were ready by being “prepared”.V7. “and prepared the lamps
of them”
The
illustration shows there was a “false alarm”,a misunderstanding
by all 10 virgins in expecting the Bridegrooms Arrival at a
wrong time. This misunderstanding goes hand in hand with the
misunderstanding of 1914...because the misunderstanding about the
“1919 arrival” could only happen after “the Kingdoms Birth
in 1914”..which did not happen. Which is why Jesus could not arrive
to meet his Bride. They did not understand this back then. (It will
be established in another post how we can prove that the Kingdom HAS
NOT been “Born” using 3 scriptures.)
The
misunderstanding that was part of Invited Anointed being
gathered/awaking in the Modern Era around the 1890-1890,also led to
their “nodding off” and going back to sleep...it was a reflection
of sleep,not wakefulness...because it induced sleep,in regards to
Jesus arrival.
Real
understanding of spiritual light awakens a person to a particular
matter...it doesnt send them back to sleep !
But of course,Invited Anointed still had other spiritual light till
the “Cry” is made...it just wasnt “light” regarding
the Bridegroom's arrival...which
happens just before the Kingdoms real Birth.
And
just because the Organisation got it wrong about 1914 and Jesus
arrival after that,didnt mean the Invited Anointed would not be
gathered from the Organisation of Jehovah's Witnesses. The remainder
of the 10 Virgins would be gathered from within Jehovah's Witnesses.
They were given the chance to be “Wise Virgins” despite their
spiritual sleep regarding His arrival. Why this misunderstanding
happened,Jesus didnt say. He simply said it would happen..AND that
those who would become Invited Anointed WOULD come from the same
group that had the misunderstanding about Jesus arrival.
That
is an important point !
Because
they misunderstood the “First Arrival” of 1919 because of the
wrong idea of “1914”,did not mean they would not be given the
chance to be part of the Kingdom when The Bridegroom really did
arrive...and to “see” the impending arrival when the time was
near..AND to be given Via the Holy Spirit/Token what was needed to
enter the Marriage Feast if “Wise”.
Another point
from Matt 25:1“Then shall be compared the Kingdom of the heavens to
ten virgins,who taking the lamps of them went out to a meeting
of the bridegroom.”
If
you look at the account,it says all took their lamps on the first
misunderstanding of Jesus Arrival...even though they went back to
sleep in regards to their Bridegroom's Arrival.
But if they
were wrong about Jesus arrival,what were their Lamps used for ? “who
taking the lamps of them” Matt25:1
Other
spiritual light not connected with Jesus arrival. Important basic
bible doctrinal truths.
Remember,this
illustration is about light pertaining to Jesus arrival that they got
wrong in the first instance...but at the same time “took their
lamps” so they were used for something else besides Jesus arrival.
All Invited Virgins can “see” the bibles basic doctrines that
catapulted the work of “The Bible Students” into over-drive and
Jah used them to“draw” to Himself those who would become the
Invited “10 Virgins” as a Class. They would form the group known
as “The Bible Students” and later Jehovah's Witnesses who would
be used to gather them over more than 100 years.
They
had Lamps that illuminated basic Bible teaching,but didnt have
light about Jesus arrival. That light would not be seen till just
before Jesus Arrives. So their Lamp had to be used for something,if
they took it with them even if they were wrong in their expectations
about the “Arrival”
The
1st mistaken expectation of Jesus arrival doesnt dismiss
the other correct bible teachings of The Bible students who later
became Jehovah's Witnesses.
Can we really say
that even though Jehovah's Witnesses from their beginnings have
gotten it wrong about Jesus arrival(as he said) that the other Bible
“awakenings” of the “10 Virgins”,those who wanted to be Pure
Virgins from lies spiritually,would be enough for Jehovah to choose
people who would be “Invited Anointed”? Absolutely! Today,in a
world where people worship themselves,its hard for us to imagine what
it would be like to live in a “western world” where 95% of people
were in a religion of some sort and went to church nearly every week.
This is how it was when Russell started his work...and this
religiousness continued till the 60's at least.
How else could they
be falsely awakened by a false idea unless its preached world wide so
that the awakening of Invited Anointed as a group could happen? They
had to be gathered from all “christian religions” to form the
group who got Jesus arrival wrong. But it was the many other
Bible teachings that had just as a dramatic reaction
from people who later left their Life long held religious beliefs
and religions.
If
Jesus said there was an awakening when they “took their Lamps”,but
it didnt include Jesus arrival,what other awakenings of Light from
“their Lamps” is He talking about ? How did they “take their
Lamps” if they were wrong about the Bridegrooms Arrival ?
Their early
preaching got the many honest hearted ones out of false religion and
formed a group from which many could be Invited Anointed. They
formed an Organisation from which the Invited were gathered.
If you look at the
old books dealing with basic bible teachings of “The Bible
Students” such as “studies in the scriptures”,the “kingdom
being born” was only one thing amongst a huge amount of OTHER
information that was right.
We have to remind
ourselves that Jesus foretold the first wrong “arrival
prediction” from those who later would be chosen to enter the
marriage feast. Thats what Jesus said !
The “scourge of
the earth”...as The Bible Students/ Jehovah's Witnesses were known
as by many... in their beginnings,was in a world where religion was
VERY strong. When our early anointed Brethren used cars fitted with
loud speakers proclaiming religion was a “snare a racket” because
of the lies “christians” believed,this was a world wide
phenomenon.
The Bible Students
where kicked out of towns by mob action because they exposed the lies
about the trinity,hell,immortal soul,Gods name,that there was no such
place as “purgatory” where you paid the clergy money to let dead
relatives out of so they could then go to Heaven etc etc.. and how
the clergy were keeping people in a state of believing these lies.
Judges abused their power IN COURT at the behest of the clergy,to
have “The Bible Students” put in jail with no charge! Many were
beaten. Some were murdered. Many,many of our Anointed brothers and
sisters were dis-owned by family and friends because they chose to
leave behind lies believed for over a 1,000 years that were taught in
Churches as “christian truth”!
What about the
1,000s tortured and killed en-mass during World Wars in concentration
camps for not going to war. Our Brothers were singled out for
special attention because satan hates the group from which Anointed
will be chosen...that will be part of a Kingdom that will end his
rule ! We can see satans hatred for these loved ones of Jehovah.
They showed Love to
fellow humans like no other religion. When members of the same
religion were killing each-other in different countries during a
World War, Jehovah's Witnesses refused to do this. They were a rare
exception! Documentaries for TV have been made about this fact.
They have pioneered
the biblical explanation regarding blood transfusions. Modern science
has backed this as true and that Jah must be with them regarding this
understanding. Many have benefited from not taking blood transfusions
who are not Jehovah's Witnesses because Jehovah's Witnesses pioneered
the way in this matter.
They have also
gained through Supreme Courts world wide the liberties of freedom of
religion...and thus be able to preach and meet together to worship.
Many who are not Jehovah's Witnesses unknowingly have gained benefits
of freedom of religion via Jehovah's Witnesses fighting for
religious rights,and this is part of Civil Law. So in many ways Jah
is with them. And this is fitting because they are being used to
gather the Invited Anointed in modern times.
So the initial work
of “The Bible Students” based on basic bible doctrines ( “who
taking the lamps of them”)was earth shattering stuff ! All we
have to do is look at the accounts written about the pure hatred many
had for “The Bible Students” because of their teaching core
Bible truths...and we can see the division in “christian”
religions the “The Bible Students” caused via basic bible
teachings because of the awakening around 1900 ...and the
“discomfort” this continued to cause religions for nearly 70
years after Russell. And this happened even though they were
wrong about 1914 and Jesus arrival after that...as Jesus said.
This also shows that
so-called “christendom”cannot be called apostate. Her
members NEVER had,NEVER wanted ,NEVER listened to basic bible truths
as preached by The Bible Students/ Jehovah's Witnesses...and they
were at the forefront of persecuting and hunting
down our Brothers and Sisters over the lies they exposed. They wanted
to shut them up,not listen !
How
can “christendom” be apostate if they never loved basic truths
from the bible to begin with?
How
can “christendom” be invited into a Covenant with Jehovah that
they have become apostate to,if they do not even show a Love of basic
bible doctrines that The Bible Students / Jehovah's Witnesses tried
to show them and they rejected? THEY CANNOT!
The
idea of there being an “Apostate Christendom” is a lying phrase
from satan himself,so we dont look within the Organisation of
Jehovah's Witnesses to see where the TRUE apostasy is!
The
real apostasy is amongst the
Invited 10 Virgins themselves within the Organisation of Jehovah's
Witnesses. 5 become apostate along with the “Seller”. But “5”
remain Faithful Wise Virgins !
The Seller/Governing
Body does not want to tell Jehovah's Witnesses about this because
people would start to wonder which Invited Anointed ARE the the ones
who are Apostate,including amongst those in the Governing Body.
This
is why TRUE apostasy is within Invited Anointed of JWs who
are in a Virgin covenant
with Jah. Jehovah drew
to himself people from all “christian” and other religions,those
who were willing to sacrifice so much for basic bible truths,while at
the same time,were wrong about Jesus arrival...as Jesus said. They
were wrong about that one thing,but the Divine Power
of the other “awakenings” of basic bible teachings that EXPOSED
LIES,set the world on
fire and caused
a huge division amongst “christian” religions and clearly showed
who loved truth..and who
were worthy of becoming a group
of Invited Anointed because of that love of truth...even though they
were “asleep” to Jesus true arrival.
The
Virgin Wise would be used by Jesus when He DID arrive and enter the
marriage feast with
them...chosen from
amongst this group who were Loyal to Jah and what they have learnt.
The biblical
awakenings ALONG WITH the misunderstanding of the first mistaken
“Arrival”,prove Jehovah's Witnesses are the group from which the
“10 Virgin” Invited Anointed as a group would be chosen. This
includes the last part of the Illustration of the 10 virgins,which is
the division of that group into wheat/Wise...weed/Fool Virgins.
To prove this is a
class of anointed chosen from amongst the same Organisation that
extends over a few generations,when Jesus said the master
arrived,going backwards from the “True Arrival”,there was a
period between the True arrival and the initial false expectation of
Jesus arrival. Its the same “group” being spoken about during
that period now over 100 years long. Jesus didnt say it changed
“hands” during the period...as in..because they
misunderstood,another religion was given the job. It was the same
group over time from the 1st
misunderstanding. But as a class from within the same group,The
Bible students who became Jehovah's Witnesses.
But as we know,its
almost 100 years since then,so many anointed over this time have been
“Chosen” and died,even though they too continued the
mistaken 1st arrival
misunderstanding that wasnt clarified until just before
Jesus arrival as the illustration shows... so that Wise Invited
could prepare themselves and the 3 parties involved could be exposed.
So for a long time
this idea of the initial “False Arrival”has been perpetuated. Why
is it that this blogger/writer sees the “2 groups within the one
Hope” within invited anointed of JWs? Because there are Invited
Anointed around the globe who now have listened to the Token HS
instead of the Seller/Trader/ Harlot / Governing Body. The soon to be
sealed “chosen” Virgin Wise in recent years are coming forward
using modern communications,esp the internet,to explain why events
are happening within the group of Invited Anointed within Jehovah's
Witnesses.
What else does this
tell us? Jesus said that the awakening and separating of the
wheat/wise,foolish weeds, would all happen with enough time,so that
he would Arrive and the Virgin Wise would be prepared and go into the
Feast.
But its also so
we can see that not all invited anointed within JWs will go into the
marriage feast...as many as “5” will not...and that there was
someone on the scene who corrupted and stopped their being a Lamp
using a lie,and thus the Virgin Fools would miss out on going into
the feast. Is this something we are taught at the meetings ? NO! And
for good reason.
If
we know that there is a “seller' “whore-monger” who IS
influencing Invited Anointed to betray their Bridegroom...and this is
happening within the Organisation of Jehovahs Witnesses,we have to
ask “who is who”?!
How many are asking
themselves this question ? How many understand there is a “barrier”
spoken about in this illustration that is dividing Invited
Anointed...that a separation is going on RIGHT NOW within Invited
Anointed in Jehovah's Witnesses. And who ARE the Virgin Wise who
even know about the “barrier” that is dividing Invited Anointed
within JWs into two groups and clearly separating them ? We
have to ask these questions because the Illustration was given by
Jesus for good reason !
This has to happen
before He arrives.
Like all things
Jesus said,they exposed things that before were not seen. What is
happening amongst Invited Anointed within JWs is surely NOT known by
most JWs...and that the Governing Body is a “whore-monger” Harlot
(which will be proven,explained)trying to make Invited Anointed into
what she is...unfaithful to Christ by giving up being a Lamp for
their Bridegroom and NOT being a fit“Vessel” for the HS to shine
through.
Did
The Bridegroom “delay” ?
So
the Invited Anointed Virgins as a class
expected the Bridegroom after the Kingdom was supposedly born in
1914. This led to great activity. Was it true though ? Was the
Kingdom Born in 1914 and did Jesus arrive just after the Kingdoms
supposed Birth ? They may have gotten ready as they did in the
illustration,but that doesnt mean it should have happened because
THEY thought so. But He “delayed” according to the
Illustration,which of course,He did not. He delayed
according to their misunderstanding of matters.
Because
he “delayed” according to their misunderstanding ,they
“nodded off”and went back to sleep in regards to Jesus arrival.
He
did arrive after a period of sleep for all “10 Virgins”..yet they
still had the chance to enter the Marriage Feast.
When
it comes to any new understanding about Jesus arrival,there has been
no new expectations within JWs since the first misunderstanding . The
Invited Anointed were asleep to this Bible information and have been
since the first misunderstanding of 1914/1919...which was predicted
by Jesus.
So
in regards to Jesus the Bridegrooms arrival,the Invited Anointed were
asleep as a group until the “Cry” is made to “prepare” just
before Jesus arrival.
This
applies to Invited Anointed within JWs. For no other religious group
got the initial understanding wrong about Jesus Arrival because of
the Kingdoms supposed Birth. Without the Kingdom being Born,there
could be no Arrival of the Bridegroom. “The Bible Students” who
then took the name Jehovah's Witnesses... are the only group in
modern times to have this false expectation of Jesus arrival because
of 1914.
Jesus
predicted this misunderstanding..
So
lets not be disappointed it has been taught right up to when the
Virgin Wise make their presence felt...just before Jesus really does
Arrive.
Another
interesting thing about Matt 25:1 that helps us prove the
Illustration is about Invited Anointed within The Bible students who
later became Jehovah's Witnesses.
Matt 25:1.Greek
rendering:“Then will be likened the kingdom of the heavens to ten
virgins,who having taken #2983 the lamps of themselves went
out #1831 into meeting of the bridegroom.”
having taken
#2983 “To get hold of”
If you get hold of
something,that means before that,you havnt got hold of it.
The time period from
Russell, were the beginnings of the Invited Anointed “to get hold
of” being a Bride Lamp to form the “10 virgins”,that is,that
they became fit for HS to shine through and provide spiritual Light
by being given the opportunity to receive this Hope. They didnt
have this before this when part of false religion,but now they
were being given this chance.. They were drawn out of false religion
and have the beginnings of being on the path to being Invited as a
Lamp...and the beginnings were basic bible truths!
Before that time in
Modern Times, there was no group,no “10 virgins” as a
class,that had been helped to become Lamps...Invited Anointed
Bride Lamps...as a group of ”10 Virgins” once they had shown a
love of basic bible truths.
went
out #1831 fig: “To come forth,depart out of,escape,get out.”
Why would Jesus use
a word like this with such meanings ?
What would the 10
Virgins need to do:“To come forth,depart out of,escape,get out”
...out of what ?
False religion.
Mainly so-called “christian” religions.
Starting with
Russell and colleges,there was a movement “to get hold of” being
a lamp for the 1st time in the modern Era to form the
members of the “10 Virgins” who would form “the Kingdom of the
Heavens”. Knowing these basic bible doctrines impelled them to
“to come forth,depart out of,escape,get out” from false
religion,so they could go out to meet the Bridegroom,to
be Invited to be part of the group who would form the remainder
of the 144K gathered in Modern Times.
Without
their “To come forth,depart out of,escape,get out” out of false
religion,they would not get the chance to be “Invited”...thus,
“to get hold of” being a Bride Lamp.
People have to show
they are fit to be an “Invited Virgin” before
they can be “Invited” to meet the Bridegroom through a heavenly
hope.
Important
point.
Without being
gathered as a group by “escaping...to get out” of False
“christian” religions ,they were not qualified to be Lamps...or
to be Invited Anointed. They could not go to meet the
Bridegroom without showing in some way they Loved basic Bible truths
as explained by “The Bible Students”. This is why all those who
would be part of the remnant “10 Virgins” “went out” of
where they were in false religion trapped in lies,so they could be
invited to “go and meet the bridegroom” in the sense of being an
Invited Anointed.
Without “getting
hold of” their being a lamp in some way,they could not,via HS, see
the lies in so-called “christian” religions. First they got hold
of “Light” from those who were exposed to Russell's group,who
were Invited. Then they were then Invited because they chose to
“escape” and show their Love of Jehovah via basic bible truths.
Then these helped even others. So it was a cascading/snowballing
effect. Invited Virgins who had “escaped” and proved loyal,then
helped others escape...and these escapees then were Invited because
they chose to leave the Lies of so-called “christianity”.
Their reactions once
learning the lies with their respective and diverse “christian”
religions, WAS to flee and “To come forth,depart out
of,escape,get out”...to form “The Bible Students” from
which the remnant 10 Virgins as a Class or group would be Invited
Anointed. These had ALL “escaped.” Its safe to say that ALL those
in the beginnings of the The Bible Students were those who escaped
from their previous religions,not “born” into families who had
escaped. That happened later of course. The 10 Virgins members back
then ALL did the same thing. It was the Virgins like Russell and
colleagues who started this...and many had that hope of meeting the
Bridegroom because they had escaped..because they saw the need to via
those Anointed who were Lamps.
Being “Invited”
happened AFTER they had shown they loved truth and “escaped” from
false religions. This happened with great cost and personal change.
Because they had
“escaped” and the great sacrifices needed to make this
happen,they “got hold of” being a Bride Lamp when Jah offered the
invitation to be an Invited Anointed. Of course,not all in the “The
Bible Students” were Invited Anointed. These Non Anointed benefited
from the Bride Lamps within the Organisation and the light from these
who shone via Holy Spirit.
Is there any other
group in Modern times within the world wide religious scene who's
members had “escaped” from all forms of “christian” religions
to from a group of “escapees” because of the love
they had of God and basic bible doctrines and at the same time got
Jesus Arrival wrong ? No !
Only The Bible
Students “To come forth,depart out of,escape,get out”
from so many different “christian” religions to form a group of
“escapees”.
But the only way for
that to happen was if Jah helped them via HS to be a Lamp and speak
out against the lies that honest hearted needed to see, that they
were trapped by..and thus needed to “To come forth,depart out
of,escape,get out.”from. This is what The Bible Students did.
Thus many many did “escape,depart out of,get out”...of false
religion and thus the Invited Anointed within “The Bible Students”
DID “get hold of” being a Bride Lamp through their Heavenly Hope.
Though they were wrong about the expectations regarding Jesus arrival
and “the Kingdoms birth in 1914”.
They by Jehovahs
help,they did “get hold of” the Heavenly Hope of being an Invited
Bride Lamp. They escaped the lies the Invited Anointed Lamps revealed
because HS flowed through them...and “escaped” to be invited
anointed Bride Lamps so they could go “to the meeting with
the Bridegroom” !
They could not
be part of false religion and be “Invited Anointed”...and
thus go out to “meet the Bridegroom”. They had to “went
out,escape,get out” of false religion.
They had to
“escape,get out of” in order for it to be possible to be
“Invited” to meet the Bridegroom. Jah knew there were honest
hearted ones in false religion,so Jah helped them via earlier
“escapees” who did “to get hold of” being a Lamp... and thus
see the need to escape because of the lies. You can only act
on personal dangers if you “see” them.
(this
also applies now to anointed)
“Escape,get out
of” from where ? Where Lamps using HS could not reside...escape
from the darkness of lies of not even knowing basic bible truths AND
where you could NOT be given the Invitation to be part of the
group who joins the Bridegroom for the Heavenly Hope! For that to
happen,you had to “escape,depart out of,get out” of a place
that WAS stopping you from getting that invitation. False religion.
This is why the 10
Virgins as a class “went out” from where they were trapped...and
this led to them being invited to “meet the Bridegroom”
personally and to form the Group from which the Invitees would
come,The Bible students who later took the name Jehovah's Witnesses.
Important
point:
Why would Jesus use
such a word that meant: “To come forth,depart out of,escape,get
out” ?. Why not say “went out” as in to just meet Him,like
someone you know? Because Jesus via Holy Spirit knew that the modern
day gathering of the group that was going to be used to gather
the 10 Virgins as a class over 100 years or so,would
have its beginnings by those who would need “To come
forth,depart out of,escape,get out” from false religion. That
this was going to be the radical start to the
group used to gather the 10 Virgins as a class in the modern Era.
To have the chance to be “Invited” to meet the Bridegroom,they
must show a love of basic bible doctrines...which showed what was in
their heart. Look at what our brethren in and around the early
1900's did do because of that Love. They set the world on fire! Thats
why Jesus used the Greek words we read toady.
It was
prophetic of the mass exodus from false “christian”
religions to form the group from which over 100 years the “10
Virgins” would be selected. And “depart out of ,escape,get out ”
they did !
They “escaped”
to form “The Bible Students”
They had to Escape
from a place where there were no Bride Lamps of the Heavenly Hope.
Where they were,there were no Invited Anointed who were paving the
way for other potential Invited to leave false religion...and that
place of false “christian” religion,was stopping them from
being given the invitation to be a Bride Lamp
Invited Anointed. When a person showed a heart desire to know the
truth and leave a religion at great cost and be faithful to that
truth,Jah helped them “to get hold of” being a lamp...to be a
lamp by “Inviting” them. But only after they had:“To come
forth,depart out of,escape,get out.” of false religion...while
at the same time getting Jesus Arrival wrong.
The Bible students
were formed,because all who were part of it had done that.
Thus Jah could “Invite” members of this group to be Invited
Anointed Virgins. They showed they wanted to be pure “Virgins” by
accepting truth revealed by The Bible Students and leaving where they
were in “Impurity”...not Virgin like.
No other group
was formed the way “The Bible Students” were as predicted by
Jesus ! And it also proves the drama of the
illustrative prophecy applies to what is going on within the
Organisation of JWs today just before Jesus really does Arrive!
The Bible Students
were used to start the “gathering” of the Invited Anointed 10
Virgins Class in the Modern Era.
The rapid growth via
basic bible truths and the mass exodus from so many “christian”
religions to form this one group. Has this happened to any other
group in the Modern era... because they “got hold of a lamp” and
then “escaped” the religions they were in ? Absolutely NOT!
No
wonder these were exciting beginnings in the development of the “10
Virgins” as a group !
A
review of some important points regarding Matthew 25:1:
To help us identify
who the 10 Virgins are...and where the “10
Virgin Illustration” would have its fulfilment,here are some
points from this verse.
1/ There are 2 times
when the Bridegroom was expected. The 1st time,IT WAS THEM
that thought there was going to be a “meeting”. The second
time,it was someone NOT of the 10 Virgins who made them aware of the
Bridegrooms Arrival.
As we shall see
later,the Wise knew because of Holy Spirit that the Bridegroom was
going to arrive. So we can see the first mistaken expectation was
not from Holy Spirit,but from the 10 virgins themselves. Thus it
was wrong. Thus they went to sleep because they were wrong
They got the time
wrong regarding the arrival of their Bridegroom...and this could only
happen as a consequence of getting “1914” wrong. They were ready
according to their misunderstanding,so naturally He didnt Arrive.
This is because they got it wrong about His arrival. After this there
was no “New” understanding that was put forward regarding
this,till just before Jesus did arrive. They went “asleep”
in this regard to any new understanding of the Bridegroom's Arrival.
So there was the
initial misunderstanding,then after a sleep period,the Bridegroom did
Arrive and the Virgin Wise knew about this.
2/ There was no new
group chosen by Jesus for the 10 Virgins to be invited from despite
this misunderstanding which was held by them right from the time of
their “escaping” false christian religions.
3/Those forming the
group from which the 10 Virgin would be invited,had to “To come
forth,depart out of,escape,get out” of somewhere before
they could get an “invitation” to meet the Bridegroom. Thus to
“get hold of” being a Lamp. This is an amasing thing that
happened to ALL within “christian” false religions who DID
“escape” then joined the “The Bible Students”. What other
group within religions did this en-mass “escaping” occur to form
another group around the time of the misunderstanding of 1914 ?
Only “The Bible Students”. And this had to happen ! In order to
be an Invited Anointed Virgin,they had to show they were willing
to “purify” themselves and leave behind lies,thus showing
they wanted to be pure Virgins and then they were worthy of an
“Invitation” to meet the Bridegroom...”to go out to meet Him”
Combining the
misunderstanding of Jesus arrival that led to so much activity along
with many “New” understandings of basic bible
truths/doctrines that no other Group had...plus the fact that
once they knew these truths they chose to “escape” from their
previous religion...puts the application of the “10 Virgin”
illustration on only one group.
The Bible Students
who later became Jehovah's Witnesses...and they were used to gather
the “10 Invited Virgins” as a Class or group over the last 100
years. This proves the drama of the 10 virgins and the Seller happens
within Jehovah's Witnesses.
