1 Woe to the stubborn sons, is the utterance of
Jehovah, [those disposed] to carry out counsel, but not that from me; and to
weave a web (GLT), but not with my spirit, in order to add sin to
sin;
2 those who are setting out to go down to Egypt and who have not inquired
of my own mouth, to take shelter in the stronghold of Pharaoh and to take refuge
in the shadow of Egypt!
3 And the stronghold of Pharaoh must become even for you men a reason for
shame, and the refuge in the shadow of Egypt a cause for humiliation.
4 For his princes have come to be in Zoan itself, and his own envoys
reach even Hanes.
5 Every one will certainly become ashamed of a people that bring no
benefit to one, that are of no help and bring no benefit, but are a reason for
shame and also a cause for reproach.
6 The pronouncement against the beasts of the Negeb (semi-desert): Through the land of
distress and hard conditions, of the lion and the leopard growling, of the viper
and the flying fiery snake, on the shoulders of full-grown asses they carry
their resources/riches, and on the humps of camels their supplies/treasures. In behalf of the
people they will prove of no benefit.
7 And the Egyptians are mere vanity, and they will help simply for
nothing. Therefore I have called this one: Rahab -- they are for sitting still.
8 Now come, write it upon a tablet with them, and inscribe it even in a
book, that it may serve for a future day, for a witness to time indefinite.
9 For it is a rebellious people, untruthful sons, sons who have been
unwilling to hear the law of Jehovah;
10 who have said to the ones seeing, 'You must not see,' and to the ones
having visions, 'You must not envision for us any straightforward things. Speak
to us smooth things; envision deceptive things.
11 Turn aside from the way; deviate from the path. Cause the Holy One of
Israel to cease just on account of us.'
12 Therefore this is what the Holy One of Israel has said: In view of
your rejecting of this word, and [since] you men trust in defrauding and in what
is devious and you support yourselves on it,
13 therefore for you this error will become like a broken section about
to fall down, a swelling out (a bulge) in a highly raised wall, the breakdown of which may
come suddenly, in an instant.
14 And one will certainly break it as in the breaking of a
large jar of the potters, crushed to pieces without one's sparing [it], so that
there cannot be found among its crushed pieces a fragment of earthenware with
which to rake the fire from the fireplace or to skim water from a marshy place.
15 For this is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah, the Holy
One of Israel, has said: By coming back and resting you people will be saved.
Your mightiness will prove to be simply in keeping undisturbed and in
trustfulness. But you were not willing.
16 And you proceeded to say: No, but on horses we shall
flee! That is why you will flee. And on swift [horses] we shall ride! That is
why those pursuing you will show themselves swift.
17 1,000 will tremble on account of the rebuke of one; on account of the
rebuke of 5 you will flee until you will have remained over like a mast on the
top of a mountain and like a signal (sign) on a hill.
18 And therefore Jehovah will keep in expectation of
showing you favor, and therefore he will rise up to show you mercy. For Jehovah
is a God of judgment. Happy are all those keeping in expectation of him.
19 When the very people in Zion will dwell in Jerusalem,
you will by no means weep. He will without fail show you favor at the sound of
your outcry; as soon as he hears it he will actually answer you.
20 And Jehovah will certainly give you people bread in the
form of distress and water in the form of oppression; yet your Grand Instructor
will no longer hide himself, and your eyes must become [eyes] seeing your Grand
Instructor.
21 And your own ears will hear a word behind you saying:
This is the way. Walk in it, you people, in case you people should go to the
right or in case you should go to the left.
22 And you people must defile the overlaying of your
graven images of silver and the close-fitting covering of your molten statue of
gold. You will scatter them. Like a menstruating woman, you will say to it: Mere
dirt!
23 And he will certainly give the rain for your seed with which you sow
the ground, and as the produce of the ground bread, which must become fat and
oily. Your livestock will graze in that day in a spacious pasture.
24 And the cattle and the full-grown asses cultivating the
ground will eat fodder seasoned with sorrel, which was winnowed with the shovel
and with the fork.
25 And upon every high mountain and upon every elevated
hill there must come to be streams, water ditches, in the day of the big
slaughter when the towers fall.
26 And the light of the full moon must become as the light
of the glowing [sun]; and the very light of the glowing [sun] will be [for] 7
times, like the light of 7 days, in the day that Jehovah binds up the
breakdown of his people and heals even the severe wound resulting from the
stroke by him.
27 Look! The name of Jehovah is coming from far away,
burning with his anger and with heavy clouds. As for his lips, they have become
full of denunciation, and his tongue is like a devouring fire.
28 And his spirit is like a flooding torrent that reaches
clear to the neck, to swing the nations to and fro with a sieve of
worthlessness/destruction; and a bridle that causes one to wander about/astray will be in the jaws
of the peoples.
29 you people will come to have a song like that in the night that one
sanctifies oneself for a festival, and rejoicing of heart like that of one
walking with a flute to enter into the mountain of Jehovah, to the Rock of
Israel.
30 And Jehovah will certainly make the dignity of his
voice to be heard and will make the descending of his arm to be seen, in the
raging of anger and the flame of a devouring fire [and] cloudburst and rainstorm
and hailstones.
31 For because of the voice of Jehovah Assyria will be
struck with terror; he will strike [it] even with a staff.
32 And every swing of his rod of chastisement that Jehovah
will cause to settle down upon [Assyria] will certainly prove to be with
tambourines and with harps; and with battles of brandishing he will actually
fight against them.
33 For his Topheth is set in order from recent times; it
is also prepared for the king himself. He has made its pile deep. Fire and wood
are in abundance. The breath of Jehovah, like a torrent of sulphur, is burning
against it.
Time of prophecy: After the death of King Ahaz (Isaiah 14:28) and before the 14th year of King Hezekiah (Isaiah 36:1). So the prophecy was made after 728 BC, the 16th and last regnal year of King Ahaz, which was the first regnal year of King Hezekiah, his son - see [91]. And it was made before 716 BC, the 14th regnal year of Hezekiah. So Isaiah said these things over 2700 years ago!
Translation points: Negeb (bgn) can mean South, since the Negeb desert was the land South of Judah, but Exodus and Numbers use Negeb (bgn) to mean the Negeb desert and (hnmyt) to mean South. So we translate 'Negeb' as Negeb here.
Stubborn sons | Stubborn sons of Israel (Jacob) in Isaiah's day |
Weave a web | Prepare a system of lies as a cover up |
Zoan | Defence Department of Egypt |
Hanes | State Department of Egypt (Foreign Office) |
Beasts of the Negeb | Pagan ruling groups in the Negeb Desert South of Judah |
Flying fiery snake | Satan |
Called this one Rahab | The Egyptians as a group are called 'Rahab', the faithful prostitute of Jericho. They make meaningless alliances with everybody (as does a prostitute)! |
They are for sitting still | When the Assyrians attacked under Sennacherib, the Egyptians did nothing, it was God who saved Jerusalem. |
Land of distress and hard conditions | Route to Egypt from Judah |
Future day | The fall of Jerusalem to Nebuchadnezzar in 586Ab BC and the subsequent release of the people from Babylon in 539Tishri BC |
Cause the holy one of Israel to cease just on account of us | We (your temporary administrators) are more important than God your permanent father. |
Broken section, bulge in a wall | They know the house of Judah will fall (from ruling over God's people - the sons of Israel), but it hasn't fallen yet |
Jar broken, not a fragment remaining | All administrative groups of Judah will be destroyed when/after the house falls. It fell in 608Chislev10 to Pharaoh Necho. Then Nebuchadnezzar burnt Jerusalem and the temple and scattered all the Jews on 586Ab10 |
Remain like a mast on a hill | People left over will be in tiny exposed groups. |
He will rise up to show you mercy | He will then rescue you and forgive you after you have been captured |
He will give you bread in the form of distress and water in the form of oppression | He will discipline you for your benefit. He will teach you and feed you spiritually by punishing you physically. |
You eyes must see your grand instructor | His actions will be obvious to the Jews. |
Hear a word behind you saying this is the way, walk in it | They will eventually re adopt the law of Moses written before (behind them), after they have learned their lesson |
Like a menstruating woman, you will say: Mere dirt | Their idols they will regard as the unclean product of a woman's menstruation - euch. |
Streams | Moving streams of fleeing people |
Water ditches | Stationary groups of hiding people |
Day of the big slaughter when the towers fall | The destruction of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar. The wall of Jerusalem was punctuated with Towers. |
Light of the moon | Understandings of false religion |
Light of the sun | Understandings of true religion |
7 So he said to Judah: Let us build these cities and make
walls around and towers, double doors and bars. For us the land is yet available, because we have searched for Jehovah our
God. We have searched, and he gives us rest all around. And they went building and proving
successful (2 Chronicles 14).
9 Moreover, Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem by the Corner
Gate and by the Valley Gate and by the Buttress, and made them strong (2
Chronicles 26).
17 So he brought up against them the king of the
Chaldeans, who
proceeded to kill their young men with the sword in the house of their
sanctuary, neither did he feel compassion for young man or virgin, old or
decrepit. Everything he gave into his hand.
18 And all the utensils, great and small, of the house of the
[true] God and the treasures of the house of Jehovah and the
treasures of the king and of his princes, everything he brought to Babylon.
19 And he proceeded to burn the house of the [true] God and pull
down the wall of Jerusalem; and all its dwelling towers they burned with fire and also all its desirable
articles, so as to cause ruin (2 Chronicles 36).
The 7 times of verse 26 cannot be 7 prophetic times in the event symbolism, because no time substitution is permitted in the this symbolism by the code.
So 7 times God heals the breakdown resulting from the stroke by him through a period of intense enlightenment wherein the good light eclipses the bad. These 7 must be as follows:
Healing | Stroke | True light eclipses false light |
Jacob enters Egypt in 1728Nisan BC, fleeing the famine | Regional Famine | Joseph explains Pharaoh's dreams, no other magic practicing priests can. |
Moses takes sons of Israel out of Egypt | Permitting slavery to the Egyptians | Moses and Aaron prove superior to Egyptian magicians |
Jews leave Babylon after 539Tishri and go back under law in 455Tishri | Fall of Samaria to Shalmanezer in 723 and of Jerusalem to Nebuchadnezzar in 586 | Cyrus (the Mede) proves Jehovah superior to all the God's of Babylon. He gives the temple equipment back to Sheshbazzar or Zerubbabel to take back to Judah. |
FDS1 | End of the Law of Moses | Jesus eclipses the Pharisees |
FDS2 | Disfellowshipping of FDS1 | Paul eclipses the followers of FDS1 |
FDS3 | Disfellowshipping of FDS2 | Russell eclipses Babylon the great (the false churches of Christendom) |
FDS4 | Disfellowshipping of FDS3 | Gordon eclipses FDS3 |
The 4 true Christian churches all contain God's chosen people, who are Abraham's children through the 1AC (the true seed). They are children of faith through baptism in water, sons of the first Abrahamic covenant.
Lips full of denunciation, tongue like a devouring fire | Each previous system is denounced by the prophets of the next system |
A bridle that causes one to wander about/astray will be in the jaws of the peoples | The prevailing tendency on everyone will be to go astray, but God's people will be saved from this. |
The descending of his arm to be seen | His fighting arm. |
God will strike Assyria with a staff | His angel killed 185,000 Assyrians in one night in the 14th year of Hezekiah - 715 BC (Isaiah 37:6) |
Topheth was where the Jews burnt their sons and daughters in the fire in a misguided offering to God or in a misguided offering to Molech. God's Topheth is everlasting death, Gehenna. (Topheth was in Gehenna, the valley of Hinnom outside the wall of Jerusalem) | God has his everlasting destruction means ready. It is prepared for the King of Assyria himself - Sennacherib. He taunted Jerusalem saying: Do not let Hezekiah cause you to trust in Jehovah saying: Without fail Jehovah will deliver us (Isaiah 36:15) |
1 Woe to the stubborn sons of Israel, is the utterance of
Jehovah, [those disposed] to act on advice, but not advice that came from me; and to
manufacture a cover up, but not with my spirit, in order to add sin to
sin;
2 those who are setting out to go down to Egypt and who have not
consulted with my prophets first, to take shelter in the stronghold of Pharaoh and to take refuge
in the shadow of Egypt!
3 And the stronghold of Pharaoh must become even for you men a reason for
shame, and the refuge in the shadow of Egypt a cause for humiliation.
4 For his princes have come to be in the Egyptian Defence department itself, and his own envoys
reach even the State department.
5 Every one will certainly become ashamed of a people that bring no
benefit to one, that are of no help and bring no benefit, but are a reason for
shame and also a cause for reproach (when the Assyrians come to attack Judah and
the Egyptians fail to help at all).
6 The pronouncement against the pagan ruling groups of the Negeb Desert: Through the land of
distress and hard conditions, of the lion and the leopard growling, and of the
viper, the Negeb Desert and the Sinai peninsular, and through to the land of
Satan himself (Egypt - the dominant World Power) on the shoulders of full-grown asses they carry
their resources/riches, and on the humps of camels their supplies/treasures. In behalf of the
people they will prove of no benefit.
7 And the Egyptians are mere vanity, and they will help simply for
nothing. Therefore I have called this one: Rahab the prostitute of Jericho,
since they will make meaningless alliances with anyone. The Egyptians will sit
still when Judah is in trouble.
8 Now come, write it upon a tablet with them, and inscribe it even in a
book, that it may serve for a future day (in 715 when Assyria attacks Jerusalem
and in 586 when Nebuchadnezzar attacks and destroys Solomon's temple and in 515
when Zerubbabel rebuilds the temple and in 455 when the Law of Moses is finally
restored in Jerusalem), for a witness to time indefinite.
9 For it is a rebellious people, untruthful sons, sons who have been
unwilling to hear the law of Jehovah;
10 who have said to the ones understanding God's word, God's prophets, 'You must not see,' and to the ones
having visions, 'You must not envision for us any straightforward things. Speak
to us smooth things; envision deceptive things.
11 Turn aside from the way; deviate from the path. Pay attention to us
(who are deranged toddlers) rather than to the Holy One of
Israel who created the whole universe and wrote the laws of our country and
caused this whole nation to exist and gave it this land where we live etc etc.
12 Therefore this is what the Holy One of Israel has said: In view of
your rejecting of this word, and [since] you men trust in defrauding and in what
is devious and you support yourselves on it,
13 therefore for you this error will become like a broken girder about
to fall down, like bulge in a highly raised wall, the breakdown of which may
come suddenly, in an instant. You know the house of Judah is going to fall, it
is just a matter of time.
14 And one will certainly break it as in the breaking of a
large jar of the potters, crushed to pieces without one's sparing [it], so that
there cannot be found among its crushed pieces a fragment of earthenware with
which to rake the fire from the fireplace or to skim water from a marshy place.
When Judah falls, there will be no part of the administration left at all, there
will be not even be left a few people huddling together trying to organise a
discussion group.
15 For this is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah, the Holy
One of Israel, has said as regards your future salvation from his punishment: By coming back
(to Jerusalem from Babylon) and resting you people will be saved.
Your mightiness will prove to be simply in keeping undisturbed and in
trustfulness. But you were not willing.
16 And you proceeded to say: No, but on horses we shall
flee! That is why you will flee. And on swift [horses] we shall ride! That is
why those pursuing you will show themselves swift.
17 1,000 will tremble on account of the rebuke of one; on account of the
rebuke of 5 you will flee until those who remain will be in tiny isolated groups
on the tops of mountains and hills.
18 And therefore Jehovah will keep in expectation of
showing you favor, and therefore he will rise up to show you mercy after you
have learned from your punishment. For Jehovah
is a God of judgment. Happy are all those keeping in expectation of him.
19 When the very people in Zion, the people who God has
chosen to rule you, will dwell in Jerusalem,
you will by no means weep. He will without fail show you favor at the sound of
your outcry; as soon as he hears it he will actually answer you.
20 And Jehovah will certainly before that time give you people bread in the
form of distress and water in the form of oppression; yes, he will teach you
humility and loyalty and quite simply obedience, through calamity, he will give
you pain and you will gain, yet your Grand Instructor
will no longer hide himself, and your eyes must become [eyes] seeing your Grand
Instructor.
21 And your own ears will hear a word behind you, which is
the Law of Moses, saying:
This is the way. Walk in it, you people, in case you people should go to the
right or in case you should go to the left.
22 And you people must defile the overlaying of your
graven images of silver and the close-fitting covering of your molten statue of
gold. You will scatter them. Like a menstruating woman, you will say to it: Mere
dirt! You will regard idolatry and disobedience to God as being as disgusting
and the produce of a menstruating woman.
23 And he will certainly give the rain for your seed with which you sow
the ground, and as the produce of the ground bread, which must become fat and
oily. Your livestock will graze in that day in a spacious pasture.
24 And the cattle and the full-grown asses cultivating the
ground will eat fodder seasoned with sorrel, which was winnowed with the shovel
and with the fork.
25 And upon every high mountain and upon every elevated
hill there must come to be streams of moving people, and groups of stationary
hiding people, in the day of the big
slaughter when the towers of Jerusalem fall (to Nebuchadnezzar in 586BC).
26 But the understandings of false religion must become as the
understandings
of the true religion; and the very light of the true religion will eclipse the
light of false religion 7
times, like the light of 7 days, in the 'day' (of which there are 7) that Jehovah binds up the
breakdown of his people and heals even the severe wound resulting from the
stroke by him. And when you are rescued from Babylon one of these 'days' of
increased bible understanding and acceptance by both your leaders and your
people will occur.
27 Look! The reputation, authority and status of Jehovah
arises from a place a long way away (heaven), his heart is burning with his anger and with heavy clouds. As for his lips, they have become
full of denunciation, and his tongue is like a devouring fire.
28 And his spirit is like a flooding torrent that reaches
clear to the neck, to swing the nations to and fro with a separating judgmental sieve of
worthlessness/destruction for those who fall through it; and a bridle that causes one to wander about/astray will be in the jaws
of the peoples who are not his own.
29 you people, the loyal ones of Israel, will come to have a song like that in the night that one
sanctifies oneself for a festival, and rejoicing of heart like that of one
walking with a flute to enter into the new administration/mountain of Jehovah in
Jerusalem after the exile in Babylon, to the Rock of
Israel.
30 And Jehovah will certainly make the dignity of his
voice to be heard and will make the descending of his fighting arm to be seen, in the
raging of anger and the flame of a devouring fire [and] cloudburst and rainstorm
and hailstones.
31 For because of the voice of Jehovah Assyria will be
struck with terror; he will strike [it] even with a staff. He will in fact kill
185,000 Assyrians who are attacking Jerusalem in one night in 715 BC - see
Isaiah 36:7.
32 And every swing of his rod of chastisement that Jehovah
will cause to settle down upon [Assyria] will certainly prove to be with
tambourines and with harps; and with battles of brandishing he will actually
fight against them.
33 For God's destructive incinerator is set in order from recent times; it
is also prepared for the king of Assyria himself. He has made its pile deep. Fire and wood
are in abundance. The breath of Jehovah, like a torrent of sulphur, is burning
against it.
The Event symbolism of an account is the symbolic interpretation of the events which the account describes. The Account symbolism of an account is the symbolic interpretation of the description of the events. It is the interpretation of the words of the account themselves rather than the interpretation of what happened.
The Repetition Principle of the code tells us that repeated words or phrases (such as Pharaoh) take a different meaning in the account symbolism to the meaning that they take in the event symbolism, but non repeated words or phrases such as:
'In the day of the big slaughter when the towers fall'
take the same meaning in both symbolisms. In the case of Pharaoh, he stands for the King of ancient Egypt in the event symbolism and he stands for the King of the UN in the account symbolism (which is presently the 7th biblical king, the UK/US world power). In the case of towers falling, we know that physical towers must fall in the account symbolism as they did in the event symbolism. This really leaves us with the Twin Towers. Since account symbolism is always an end times prophecy (either the end of the Jewish system of things or the end of the first presence or the end of FDS2 or the end of the second presence or the end of this system of things) and no other significant towers have fallen in Jesus' second presence which is all but over. Also the Twin Towers fell exactly 7 years before the end of Armageddon, as witnessed in verse 26, which completely nails this account as referring to the Twin Towers. We have had the end date of Armageddon as being 2008Elul since 1992. We also prophesied in 2000 that:
'An act of war or an act of unofficial war (i.e. terrorism) would lead to the UN taking over the world before 2001Elul1'
### check if this was 2001Nisan1 or if it was ammended and quote the edition of the true bible code.
This war/terrorism prophecy was accurate to the month as regards the act of war/terror, since the Twin Towers fell on 2001Elul19 (September 11). Although the UN will not take over until 2002Tammuz, 10 months after the Twin Towers. Now it is true that the Twin Towers were not in the antetypical Jerusalem (which is the Watchtower, the fallen FDS3, in this account). But this is an account symbolism, we are interpreting words not events. They are not stated to be in Jerusalem in the account, so in the account symbolism we are free to take them as being elsewhere. In fact we are lead to take them as being elsewhere by the Omission Principle of the code (it is not as if God forgot to mention where they were). The account symbolism cannot refer to a metaphorical fall, as in a fall from favour with God of a metaphorical tower, such as a stronghold of a religion, since the phrase above is only recited once.
The Successive Descriptions Principle applied to verse 8 shows us that the account symbolism has two fulfilments (which occur one in each presence).
8 Now come, write it upon a tablet with them, and inscribe it even in a book, that it may serve for a future day, for a witness to time indefinite.
We are only going to look at the one in the current presence of the Christ, through his wife, the new covenant saints (1884Tishri to 2004Elul).
Stubborn sons | Stubborn sons of Jesus, the eternal father today (the New covenant saints in the Watchtower) |
Weave a web | Prepare a system of lies as a cover up |
Egypt | UN |
Shadow of Egypt | UN protection for associated NGO's |
Pharaoh | 7th biblical king of the world the UK/US world power (at the time the Watchtower was riding the beast), it rules over the UN until the 10 kings give their authority. |
Stronghold of Pharaoh | UN security council |
Zoan | UN General assembly |
Hanes | UN NGO conferences |
Beasts of the Negeb | Apostate ruling groups in the WSS |
Land of distress and hard conditions | Administration of the WSS (Wicked and Sluggish Slave of Matthew 25). |
Flying fiery snake | Satan |
Called this one Rahab | The UN has formed meaningless NGO alliances with every major religion. The beast itself behaves like a prostitute. |
They are for sitting still | The UN will do nothing to protect religion and will eventually destroy it! |
Full grown asses | Mature congregations |
For a future day, for a witness to time indefinite (which is a future day) | This is an immediate repetition, so there are two greater future days that this prophecy serves in the account symbolism in addition to the day of the error and the destruction of Physical Jerusalem in the event symbolism. We will not cover the first century account symbolism fulfillment here - it relates to the transgression which causes desolation of FDS1 on 60Sivan12, their idolatry with Rome - see [157]. The current future 'day' is the day of the transgression that causes desolation to FDS3, the joining up with the UN on 1992January28 and thereafter. Incidentally the future day of the account symbolism does not have to be the same time period as the future day of the event symbolism, they are both 'future days'. Likewise the Twin Towers are not Towers on the wall of Jerusalem, they are just Towers that physically fall down as the account says. |
Cause the holy one of Israel to cease just on account of us | We (your temporary spiritual administrators of the Watchtower) are more important than God your permanent father. |
Broken section, bulge in a wall | They know the house of FDS3 will fall down (from ruling over God's people - the sons of Abraham through the 1AC), but it hasn't fallen down physically yet. |
Jar broken, not a fragment remaining | All administrative groups of FDS3 will be destroyed when/after the house falls. |
1,000 will tremble on account of the rebuke of one | 1,000 new covenant saints will join the LWs due to the rebuke of Gordon. (We do not get 2,000 of them). |
on account of the rebuke of 5 you will flee until you will have remained over like a mast on the top of a mountain and like a signal (sign) on a hill. | 5 years of rebuke from 1999Elul when the first horseman of the Apocalypse (Gordon) started to ride until 2004Elul when the last remnant brother dies and goes to the top of mount Zion. |
He will rise up to show you mercy | He will then rescue you and forgive you after you have been captured |
He will give you bread in the form of distress and water in the form of oppression | He will discipline you for your benefit. He will teach you and feed you spiritually by punishing you physically. |
Your eyes must see your grand instructor | His actions will be obvious to the true and faithful New covenant saints |
Hear a word behind you saying this is the way, walk in it | They will eventually re read the scriptures, the law of God, and accept the new decoded meanings, the new wine, after they have learned their lesson. |
Like a menstruating woman, you will say: Mere dirt | Their idols (the Governing body, the Writing committee, the Bethelites, the Elders etc.) they will regard as the unclean product of a woman's menstruation - euch. |
And he will certainly give the rain for your seed with which you sow the ground | The LW baptism will be accepted by God (this was spoken 2700 years ago) |
Your livestock will graze in that day in a spacious pasture. |
The new flock of the LWs will have a non oppressive and loving administration |
And the cattle and the full-grown asses cultivating the ground will eat fodder seasoned with sorrel, which was winnowed with the shovel and with the fork. | The new flock of the LWs will eat fantastically prepared spiritual food - like this? |
Mountain | (False) religion |
Elevated Hill | Worldly organisation |
Streams | Moving streams of people leaving to join the LWs |
Water ditches | Stationary groups of LW believers hiding in the hills and mountains |
Day of the big slaughter when the towers fall | 7 year 'day' of the big slaughter of mankind from 2001Elul when the Twin Towers fell to the end of Armageddon in 2008Elul when the slaughter stops. |
Light of the moon | Understandings of false religion |
Light of the sun | Understandings of true religion |
Light will be 7 times, like the light of 7 days (which takes 7 days to arrive) | True understandings are not 7 times brighter than false ones, in some luminosity contest, they eclipse them completely. So the 7 times means 7 years not sevenfold. Isaiah just says that the Twin Towers fall within the last 7 years (7 times). We know from our Chronology that they fall in the first month of the last 7 years, 2001Elul19, 2001 September 11. |
Light of the moon must become as the light of the sun | The understandings of false religion are eclipsed by and are abandoned for the understandings of true religion. |
Jehovah heals the breakdown of his people | By baptism into FDS4 the LWs. He heals his people, not their fallen administration. |
Stroke by him | Disfellowshipping of FDS3 and all the JWs. Strike the shepherd and let the flock be scattered (Zechariah 13:7, Matthew 26:31, Mark 14:27) |
Assyria | The new covenant saints in the Watchtower - beaten with many strokes (Luke 12:47). Many will repent and join the LWs - over 1,000 will repent. |
Staff | Authority and rulership of FDS4 the LWs |
Topheth | Gehenna, everlasting death |
The King | Not Milton Henschel, or Don Adams (neither of whom are new covenant saints), but all the ruling ones, the men, the rotten new covenant saints with authority who remain in the Watchtower until they die (Gordon thinks). The evil members of the evil slave of Matthew 24. Serpents! Offspring of vipers! How will you flee the judgement of Gehenna? |
Assyria is only mentioned once in Isaiah 30, but biblical chapters are not canonical and the account continues until the end of Isaiah 31 where we read:
8 And Assyria (NIVHEOT) must fall by the sword, not
[that of] a man; and a sword, not [that of] earthling man, will devour him. And
he must flee because of the sword, and his own young men will come to be for
forced labor itself.
9 And his own crag will pass away out of sheer fright, and because of the
sign his princes must be terrified, is the utterance of Jehovah, whose light is
in Zion and whose furnace is in Jerusalem (Isaiah 31).
If the word 'Assyria' only appeared once in the whole account then the account symbolic meaning would have to be 'Assyria'. But it appears twice, so we are free to give it a greater meaning as some great enemy of God's true people. Assyria of course did fall by the sword of God when 185,000 of her soldiers were killed by God's angel as recorded in Isaiah 36:7. But in the greater meaning those sanctified ones who remain in the Watchtower are judged by God and suffer the 2nd death it would appear. For the light of Jehovah is in his true administration, Zion, now the LWs. And his smelting furnace for sanctified Christians is in Jerusalem, the true congregation, neither his light nor his smelting furnace are any longer in FDS3 which has become Assyria.
1 Woe to the stubborn sons of the new covenant in the
JWs, is the utterance of
Jehovah, [those disposed] to act on advice, but not advice that came from me; and to
manufacture a cover up, but not with my spirit, in order to add sin to
sin;
2 those who are setting out to go down to the UN having deliberately
ignored the word of God with which they are fully familiar, to take shelter in the
UN security council and to take refuge
in the protection of the UN!
3 And the UN security council must become even for you men a reason for
shame, and the refuge in the protection of the UN a cause for humiliation.
4 For Jesus' princes have come to be in the UN General Assembly itself, and his own envoys
participate in UN NGO conferences.
5 Every one will certainly become ashamed of a people that bring no
benefit to one, that are of no help and bring no benefit, but are a reason for
shame and also a cause for reproach.
6 The pronouncement against the apostate ruling groups of the WSS (a
desert with no accepted water baptism): Through the
administration of the Wicked and Sluggish Slave of Matthew 25, an administration
of distress and hard conditions, of the lion and the leopard growling, of the viper
and of Satan himself, on the shoulders of mature congregations they carry
their understandings, and on the backs of those trying to maintain a discredited
water baptism they carry their food. In behalf of JWs loyal to God they will prove of no benefit.
7 And the UN are mere vanity, and they will help simply for
nothing. Therefore I have called this one: Rahab (the prostitute of Jericho,
because the UN is quick to form meaningless unions) but they will do nothing
whatsoever to help the Watchtower (in fact they will sit still when the
Watchtower is attacked - and they will eventually attack it themselves just as
the Egyptians under Pharaoh Necho attacked Josiah in 608 BC).
8 Now come, write the first presence fulfilment of the account symbolism upon a tablet with them, and inscribe
a further second presence fulfilment of the account symbolism even in a book
using the same set of words, that it may serve for a future day in the first presence of the Christ, for a witness to time
indefinite in the second presence of the Christ.
9 For it is a rebellious people the JWs, untruthful sons, the new
covenant saints, sons who have been
unwilling to hear the law of Jehovah;
10 who have said to the ones seeing the true bible code in the JWs, 'You must not see,' and to the ones
having visions, 'You must not envision for us any straightforward things. Speak
to us smooth things; envision deceptive things. Say things like: 'The end of the
world is very soon' and 'we are in the time of the end of the time of the end',
but do not tell them that Armageddon is in 2008 and starts on March 23rd.
11 Turn aside from the way; deviate from the path. Pay attention to us
(who are deranged toddlers) rather than to the Holy One of
Israel who created the whole universe and wrote the bible and created love etc. etc.
12 Therefore this is what the Holy One of Israel has said: In view of
your rejecting of this word, and [since] you men trust in defrauding and in what
is devious and you support yourselves on it,
13 therefore for you this error will become like a broken girder about
to fall down, like bulge in a highly raised wall, the breakdown of which may
come suddenly, in an instant. You know the house of the fallen FDS3 is going to
be destroyed, it
is just a matter of time.
14 And one will certainly break it as in the breaking of a
large jar of the potters, crushed to pieces without one's sparing [it], so that
there cannot be found among its crushed pieces a fragment of earthenware with
which to rake the fire from the fireplace or to skim water from a marshy place.
When FDS3 goes, there will be no part of the administration left at all, there
will be not even be left a few people huddling together trying to organise a
discussion group. (Let his lodging place become desolate - Acts 1:20)
15 For this is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah, the Holy
One of Israel, has said as regards your future salvation from his punishment: By coming back
(from the Watchtower to God in FDS4) and resting from the physical works
required by FDS3 (which is now the WSS), but not by God, you people will be saved.
Your mightiness will prove to be simply in keeping undisturbed and in
trustfulness. Not in field service or frequent meeting attendance. But you were not willing.
16 And you proceeded to say: No, but on the great understandings of FDS3 we shall
flee Armageddon! That is why you will flee not Armageddon, but FDS3. And on swift [horses] we shall ride! That is
why those pursuing you in FDS4 will show themselves to have greater
understandings than you.
17 1,000 new covenant saints will repent on account of the rebuke of one,
Gordon; on account of the
rebuke lasting for the final 5 years of the second presence from 1999Elul to
2004Elul you will flee from FDS3 until only one new covenant saint is left, like a mast on the
top of a mountain and like a sign on a hill.
18 And therefore Jehovah will keep in expectation of
showing you favor, and therefore he will rise up to show you mercy, once you
have fled. For Jehovah
is a God of judgment. Happy are all those keeping in expectation of him.
19 When the very people approved by God will rule over
you,
you will by no means weep. He will without fail show you favor at the sound of
your outcry; as soon as he hears it he will actually answer you.
20 And Jehovah will certainly teach you people with distress and
feed you with oppression; yet your Grand Instructor
will no longer hide himself, and your eyes must become [eyes] seeing your Grand
Instructor through the true bible code.
21 And your own ears will understand the current meanings
of the scriptures written millennia ago saying:
This is the way. Walk in it, you people, in case you people should go to the
right or in case you should go to the left.
22 And you people must defile the overlaying of your
graven images of silver and the close-fitting covering of your molten statue of
gold, your Governing body, your Bethelites, your Elders. You will scatter them. Like a menstruating woman, you will say to
them: Mere
dirt!
23 And God will certainly accept the baptism you then give to new
disciples, and the spiritual food, the bible understandings, will be very
up-building. Your flock will be taught in a non oppressive atmosphere.
24 And your evangelisers will be given top class bible
understandings, worked on and refined by unpretentious honest and industrious
lovers of God (who do not regard themselves as being anything special or as
having any sort of exclusivity on the holy spirit or on correct bible
interpretation).
25 And in every false religion and in every secular organisation there must come to be
streams of courageous decisive enlightened people heading for the LWs, and groups of less
motivated believers hiding within these religions and secular organisations, in the
7 year long last 'day' of the big
slaughter of mankind within which the TWIN TOWERS fall.
26 And the understandings of false religion must become
like the understandings of true religion; and the powerful understandings of the
true religion will last for 7
times, 7 years, like the light of 7 days, (which light takes 7 days to arrive) in the
7 year long last 'day' (which is coincident with the 'day' of the big slaughter
above, since this is a day of streaming people responding to this true light) in which Jehovah binds up the
breakdown of the JWs and heals even the severe wound resulting from their
disfellowshipping on 1995Tishri15. This 7 year long day ends with the end of the
big slaughter, i.e. at the end of Armageddon on 2008Elul15. So it began 7 years
earlier in 2001Elul. The Twin Towers fell on 2001Elul19 which was September 11th
2001.
27 Look! The reputation, authority and status of Jehovah
arises from a place a long way away (heaven). His heart is burning with his anger and with heavy clouds. As for his lips, they have become
full of denunciation, and his tongue is like a devouring fire. (For mankind has
not made the proper effort to understand his book for 2000 years. No we have
built nuclear bombs, we have walked on the moon, we have sequenced the DNA of
mankind we have invented computers which can perform trillions of operations per
second programmed with millions of lines of code, but there was not one line of
the holy book that we properly understood. We have served our own egos and our
own desires very well, we have served God who gave us both our ego and our
desires, very badly).
28 And his spirit is like a flooding torrent that reaches
clear to the neck, to swing the nations to and fro with a separating judgmental sieve of
worthlessness/destruction for those who fall through it; and a bridle that causes one to wander about/astray will be in the jaws
of the peoples who are not his own.
29 But you people, the loyal JWs, will come to have a song like that in the night that one
sanctifies oneself for a festival, and rejoicing of heart like that of one
walking with a flute to enter into the administration of FDS4, the mountain of
Jehovah, the Rock of
Israel.
30 And Jehovah will certainly make the dignity of his
voice to be heard and will make the descending of his fighting arm to be seen, in the
raging of anger and the flame of a devouring fire [and] cloudburst and rainstorm
and hailstones.
31 For because of the voice of Jehovah the rotten new
covenant saints (who are now the big enemy of God's true people) will be
struck with terror; he will strike the evil slave of Matthew 24 even with the
authority of FDS4.
32 And every swing of his rod of chastisement that Jehovah
will cause to settle down upon [them] will certainly prove to be with
tambourines and with harps; and with battles of brandishing he will actually
fight against them.
33 For his destructive incinerator is set in order from recent times; it
is also prepared for the sanctified and now defiled members of the evil slave himself. He has made its pile deep. Fire and wood
are in abundance. The breath of Jehovah, like a torrent of sulphur, is burning
against it.
Green's LITV
1 Woe to rebellious sons, declares Jehovah, to
make counsel, but not from Me; and to weave a covering web, but not of My
Spirit, in order to add sin on sin;
2 who are walking to go down to Egypt, but have not
asked at My mouth, to take refuge in the stronghold of Pharaoh, and to trust in
the shadow of Egypt.
3 And the stronghold of Pharaoh shall become a shame to
you; and relying on the shadow of Egypt shall be a disgrace.
4 For his rulers were in Zoan, and his ambassadors reached
to Hanes.
5 Every one is ashamed over a people who do not profit
them; they are not for a help, and not for profiting, but for a shame;
yea, also for a reproach.
6 The burden of the beasts of the south: Into the land of
trouble and constraint. The lioness and the lion are from them; the viper
and fiery flying serpent. They carry their riches on the shoulders of young
asses, and their treasures on the humps of camels, to a people who cannot profit
them.
7 And Egypt; vainly and emptily they help. So I have
called to this: Their strength is to sit still.
8 Now come, write it before them on a tablet, and note it
on a book, so that it may be for the latter day, until forever;
9 that this is a rebellious people, lying sons;
sons who are not willing to hear the Law of Jehovah;
10 who say to the seers, Do not see;
and to visioners, Do not have a vision for right things to us; speak
smooth things to us; have a vision of trifles.
11 Turn aside from the way; stretch
from the path; cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.
12 For this reason, so says the Holy
One of Israel, Because of your rejection of this Word, and your trust in
oppression and perversity, even resting on it;
13 So this iniquity shall be to you as a broken section
falling, like the bulging out of a high wall, the breaking of which comes
suddenly, in an instant.
14 And its smashing is as the
smashing of a potter's vessel; when broken in pieces, he has no pity; for
in its breaking there is not found a shard to carry fire from the hearth, nor to
skim water from a well.
15 For so says the Lord Jehovah, the
Holy One of Israel, In returning and rest you shall be saved; and in quietness
and hope shall be your strength. But you were not willing.
16 For you said, No! For we will
flee on horseback. On account of this you shall flee. Also, you say, We
will ride on swift ones. On account of this, those who pursue you shall be
swift.
17 One thousand shall flee at
the rebuke of one. You shall flee from the rebuke of five, until you are left
like a pole on the top of the mountain, and like a sign on a hill.
18 And so Jehovah waits to be
gracious to you. And for this He is exalted to have mercy on you; for Jehovah is
a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for Him.
19 For the people shall live in
Zion, at Jerusalem; you shall surely cry no more. He surely will be gracious to
you at the sound of your cry. When He hears, He will answer you.
20 And the Lord gives you the bread of adversity, and the
water of affliction; but your teachers shall not be hidden any more; but your
eyes shall be able to see your teachers.
21 And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying,
This is the way, walk in it, when you go right, or when you go left.
22 And you shall defile the covering of your carved images
of silver; and the covering of your molten images of gold. You shall strew them
as a menstruous cloth; you shall say to it, Go out!
23 Then He shall give rain for your seed, with
which you sow the ground. And the bread of the produce of the earth also shall
be fat and plentiful. In that day your livestock shall feed in a pasture made
wide.
24 Also, the oxen and the young asses that till the ground
shall eat seasoned fodder which one winnows with the shovel and with the fork.
25 And on every high mountain, and on every high hill,
shall be rivulets lifted up, streams of water, in a day of great slaying, when
towers fall.
26 And the moonlight shall be like the light of the sun.
And the sun's light shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day
of binding up, Jehovah binding the break of His people, and healing the
wound of His blow.
27 Behold, the name of Jehovah comes from afar; His anger
burns; and is heavy as the uplifting of smoke; His lips are
full of fury, and His tongue like a devouring fire.
28 And like an overflowing torrent, His breath shall
divide to the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity, and a
misleading bridle on the jaws of the peoples.
29 The song shall be to you, as the night when the feast
is sanctified, and gladness of heart, as one going with the flute, to come into
the mount of Jehovah, to the Rock of Israel.
30 And Jehovah shall make the majesty of His voice heard;
and He causes His arm to be seen coming down with raging anger and flame of
consuming fire, cloudburst and storm, and hailstones.
31 For through the voice of Jehovah, Assyria shall be
crushed, the rod with which He strikes.
32 And every passage of the appointed staff that Jehovah
causes to rest on him will be with timbrels and with harps. And in brandishing
battles He fights with her.
33 For Topheth is ordained from yesterday. Also, it is
prepared for the king; He deepened; He widened its pyre; He makes great with
fire and wood. The breath of Jehovah burns in it like a torrent of brimstone
(Isaiah 30 Green's LITV)
1 Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, and lean
on horses, and trust on chariotry, because it is great; and in horsemen
because they are very strong! But they do not look to the Holy One of Israel,
nor seek Jehovah.
2 And He also is wise, and brings evil, and will
not turn aside His Words, but will rise against the house of evildoers, and
against the help of those who work iniquity.
3 And Egypt is a man, and not God. And their horses
are flesh, and not spirit. And Jehovah stretches out His hand, and both he who
helps shall fall, and he who is helped shall fall; and they shall all cease
together.
4 For so Jehovah has said to me: As the lion roars, even
the young lion on his prey when the multitude of shepherds are gathered against
him, he will not fear their voice, nor fret himself because of their
noise. So Jehovah of Hosts shall go down to fight on Mount Zion, and on its
hill.
5 As birds that fly, so Jehovah of Hosts will shield over
Jerusalem; shielding and delivering, and passing over, He will save it.
6 Turn back to Him against whom you have made a
deep revolt, sons of Israel.
7 For in that day each shall despise his silver idols and
his golden idols, which your hands have made for you; a sin.
8 Then Assyria shall fall by a sword, not of man;
yea, a sword, not of man, shall devour him. For he shall flee from the sword,
and his young men shall become forced labor.
9 And his rock will pass away from fear; and his
commanders shall tremble at the banner, declares Jehovah, whose fire is
in Zion, and His furnace in Jerusalem (Isaiah 31 Green's LITV)
