A Frightening Truth

You should have read and understood "The Man of Lawlessness Revealed" and "Drinking with the Confirmed Drunkards" before reading this.

If you have read and understood the post above and also read my post on the great tribulation and the earthquake you should now be ready for the next profundity.

The earthquake mentioned in Revelation Chapter 11 is the same one discussed in my Great Tribulation Post:

Great Tribulation

Revelation 11:12

12 And they heard a loud voice out of heaven say to them: “Come on up here.” And they went up into heaven in the cloud, and their enemies beheld them. 13 And in that hour a great earthquake occurred, and a tenth of the city fell; and seven thousand persons were killed by the earthquake, and the rest became frightened and gave glory to the God of heaven.


What is being given attention by this earthquake in particular is Babylon The Great. The Harlot from Revelation 17 mentioned in my post above.

The seven thousand persons killed by the earthquake are those who are drinking with the drunkards.

Could some one please respond with how many partook at the Memorial arrangement in Kingdom Halls last year?

Is it really Babylon the Great which is being given attention by this earthquake?

According to the scriptures................ yes:

Revelation 16

18 And lightnings and voices and thunders occurred, and a great earthquake occurred such as had not occurred since men came to be on the earth, so extensive an earthquake, so great. 19 And the great city split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell; and Babylon the Great was remembered in the sight of God, to give her the cup of the wine of the anger of his wrath. 20 Also, every island fled, and mountains were not found. 21 And a great hail with every stone about the weight of a talent descended out of heaven upon the men, and the men blasphemed God due to the plague of hail, because the plague of it was unusually great.

Will you be one of the very few who will understand this?

If you do the obligation to warn those who drink with the drunkards also falls heavily on your shoulders.

By understanding this you should find comfort in knowing that the end is here.

What happens at the end?

Jesus Christ comes and takes over as King of This World.

Revelation 11 continues:

14 The second woe is past. Look! The third woe is coming quickly.
15 And the seventh angel blew his trumpet. And loud voices occurred in heaven, saying: “The kingdom of the world did become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will rule as king forever and ever.”

If you have been drinking with the drunkards perhaps now is the time you should start gnashing your teeth.

If you have been drinking with the drunkards is there anything left which you can do?

Jesus Christ gave some advice:


Revelation 3

18 I advise you to buy from me gold refined by fire that you may become rich, and white outer garments that you may become dressed and that the shame of your nakedness may not become manifested, and eyesalve to rub in your eyes that you may see.
19 “‘All those for whom I have affection I reprove and discipline. Therefore be zealous and repent. 20 Look! I am standing at the door and knocking. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come into his [house] and take the evening meal with him and he with me. 21 To the one that conquers I will grant to sit down with me on my throne, even as I conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne. 22 Let the one who has an ear hear what the spirit says to the congregations.’”


So if you take a stand as one of the anointed ones or even in support of one what is likely to happen to you inside the Kingdom Hall arrangement?

Yes, you will eventually be brought to a Judicial Commitee who will want to know why you have taken your stand.

If you continue to be loyal to Jesus Christ the King they will disfellowship you.

According to the new book which replaced the "Organized to Accomplish our Ministry" book they will have to make a short statement in front of your hometown congregation as follows:


"insert name here; is no longer one of Jehovah's Witnessess"


Please do not be concerned however, as this was prophecied to happen in the bible:

Romans 9

25 It is as he says also in Ho·se´a: “Those not my people I will call ‘my people,’ and her who was not beloved ‘beloved’; 26 and in the place where it was said to them, ‘YOU are not my people,’ there they will be called ‘sons of the living God.’”

27 Moreover, Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: “Although the number of the sons of Israel may be as the sand of the sea, it is the remnant that will be saved

I recommend that you read Hosea which should now start to take on a beautifull meaning for you.


Although it is very hard to argue that Jehovah's Witnessess have indeed been persecuted for Jehovah's name you would be very hard pressed to find anyone of them being persecuted for Jesus Christs sake.


Until now:


Matthew 5

11 “Happy are YOU when people reproach YOU and persecute YOU and lyingly say every sort of wicked thing against YOU for my sake. 12 Rejoice and leap for joy, since YOUR reward is great in the heavens; for in that way they persecuted the prophets prior to YOU.
