Acts 14:22
strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith,and saying, “Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.”

 

Paul understood that if one has the hope of heaven,this does not mean that Hope will automatically happen. Its not until the Tribulation of the Birth-pangs are endured that his hope was secure.

 

Think about it. Paul was blinded by Christ Himself...he heard his voice...he had visions...he had the heavenly hope. Even though he had all this from Christ,did Paul think he was automatically sealed into His heavenly Hope...just because he was Anointed? No!

 

He understood Christ words spoken to His 11 in Matt 24:8 and Mark 13:8,that Anointed must be Born into Gods Kingdom through "great tribulation" caused by "BIRTH-pangs".. Being "Born" means going through the "tribulations" of the Birth-pangs. All anointed must go through the "many tribulations" which are caused by the Birth-pangs. Matt 24:8,Mark 13:8.

The Great Tribulation. What is it?

The Great Tribulation. What is it? Blog header

What is the Great Tribulation? Is it a set of events within the World in general,started by actions of the U.N.,thus leading up to and climaxing in “Gods war of Armageddon” to remove the wicked? This is what we have been taught if we are "Jehovah's Witnesses".

Instead,we will see that the Bible itself explains that The Great Tribulation is only destined to effect,not the world in general,but a very small number of people: The remnant of Invited Anointed who's hope is to be part of the 144,000.

Why only them? What will it accomplish towards them,if it will only effect them? Revelation7:14 will explain its purpose towards Invited Anointed. Revelation 7:14 explains that only a small group of the worlds population is involved with The Great Tribulation,NOT the whole world in general. We will see the results of The Great tribulation via this and surrounding verses upon this group. From these verses,we will also see that Armageddon does NOT follow The Great Tribulation. In other words,the Great Tribulation does not lead to Armageddon and Armageddon is not the “climax” of The Great Tribulation.

Revelation 7:14 explains the singular purpose of the Great Tribulation upon the revealed small group involved.

Jahs words in the Bible will interpret the true meaning of what the Great Tribulation is, and why its necessary that the remnant of Invited Anointed today go through “The Great Tribulation”.

What are the things we will be exploring about this topic:

Some of the scriptures that will explain what The Great Tribulation is.

The connection between Revelation 12:2 and John 16:21. Both places in the Bible we will learn of a birth taking place and the Tribulation involved in the Birth. What The Great Tribulation accomplishes because it asks an important question. An examination of some Greek meanings in Revelation 12:2 will explain “the question” and why it needs to be asked of Invited Anointed.

As mentioned,Revelation 7:14 explains The Great Tribulations purpose.

When we look at Revelation 12:2 and see what it can teach us about a woman in Labour Pains,then we can compare it with John 16:21.

Other headings:

Why the Tribulation is “Great”.

Some of the “Birth-Pang Signs” which are the The Great Tribulating Birth-Pangs/Labour Pains for Invited Anointed:Matt 24 and Mark 13 speak of “Earth quakes” and “Food shortages”.

What are the “Earth quakes” and “Food shortages” experienced by Invited Anointed?

“Earth quakes” and “Food shortages” will be looked at via the Greek meaning of the words.

Paul under inspiration in Hebrews 12:26 gives an insight into the role of “earthquakes” that happen within Invited Anointed. This ties in with Revelation 7:14 and the purpose of the Great Tribulation.

A review of key points from the scriptures mentioned.

Lets begin with Revelation 12:1,2

“And a great sign was seen in heaven, a woman arrayed with the sun, and the moon was beneath her feet, and on her head was a crown of twelve stars, 2 and she was pregnant. And she cries out in her pains and in her agony to give birth.”

NIV Bible.V2.“and she was with child; and she cried out, being in labour and in pain to give birth.

Verse 2 describes a “Birth” and what leads up to it. “birth-pangs” or “being in labour”..or as the NIV bible says, “being in labour and in pain”. The Birth about to occur is Gods Kingdom. Obviously a Birth is an illustration that goes a certain way in explaining the 144,000 members of Gods Kingdom and what they go through in order to be “Born” into it. But there are things like “she cries out in agony” that must somehow be part of what the Invited Anointed are going through. So what is causing them distress that is likened to “birth-pangs” and would make them “cry out in her pains and in her agony” as a lead up to them being accepted or not accepted into the Kingdom?

The NIV bible say she is “in labour” AND “in pain”. These are 2 separate Greek words. “in Pain” is the word we must look at to understand what members of Gods Kingdom must endure to born into Gods Kingdom.

This is what Greek word #928 in an interlinear says: “in Pain”,yet the “Kingdom Interlinear” says “being Tormented”..to give birth. So its the “being Tormented” that is like “Birth-pangs” for Invited Anointed.

It gets back to Jesus words,many are Invited Anointed and few chosen. Something ALL Invited Anointed go through has an impact so that only a “few” end up being “chosen”.

Since Revelation is not talking about a real Woman being in pain,the being “in Pain” IS the result of “being Tormented” which are the Birth-pangs or Labour.

Isnt this a “Revelation”? Why would those who are going to be in Gods Kingdom, go through “labour pains” be “in Pain” or “being Tormented” BEFORE they receive their Heavenly reward,which will be like “Birth-pangs” for them? Lets look at why this is revealed to us.

We have 2 Interlinears saying “in Pain” and “Being Tormented” of the Greek word #928. The Strongs dictionary explains this word having these meanings:

1/. To test metals by the “touch stone,a black sillicous stone to test the purity of gold and silver by the color of the streak produced on it by rubbing it with either metal.

2/.To question by applying torture.

3/. To vex with grievous pains (of mind or body),to torment.

4/To be harassed,distressed.

Since we are not talking about a literal Woman and a literal Child,the Greek explains we are speaking in metaphors so we can see how it applies to The Child mentioned. The Greek word is explaining what these members of Gods kingdom must go through and these things are LIKE Birth-Pangs for them. .

Meaning number one is interesting. When precious metals are being tested,there is a black stone used. You get a piece of the Gold or Silver and run the metal over the stone. The Color proves its purity. But if its not pure,what happens then? The metal has to be refined by heat to remove dross.

Meaning 2,3 and 4 explains how the testing of the “metal” of the person(members of the Child) is done,because we are not speaking of real metal here,but about Invited Anointed who's “metal/personality traits” are being tested.

Jah said he was like a refiner and the tests that Invited Anointed are exposed to are like them being precious metals that are being refined to remove “dross” or impurities. Jesus said this in John 16.

Strong's meaning 2/. Explains why and how the testing and purifying is done. “Why do Invited Anointed receive “torture”? “To question by applying torture” Does this sound like Birth-pangs to you? What else would make an Invited Anointed “cry out” because of being purified like Jesus own disciples through hardships ? The “how” is the torture via the “various trials” James spoke about to Invited Anointed back then,were the things that were like Birth-pangs purifying them as “precious metals”. “Precious” ones who were Invited Anointed to be part of the Kingdom. This is what Revelation 12:2 is talking about.

Meaning 3 &4/ To vex with grievous pains,To be harassed,distressed.

Like Job who was being shown to be faithful at the request and challenge of satan,so Invited Anointed are also put under “tribulation”. Satan accuses Jesus brothers day and night in this respect. So the “question is asked via torture” just as with Job. Was Job “tortured” ? Yes,to get the answer to the “question”: would he prove faithful to Jah.

Jesus said in Luke22:31 that satan had demanded that those “Invited Anointed” would be “ sift you like wheat”. How did they do that in the Old days ? Thrashing it with a tribulum. Repeated blows.

So can we see what the Birth-pangs are going to be for those about to be Born into the Kingdom? This what Revelation 12:2 is explaining. They must endure this to “prove their metal” as refined gold.(Rev.3:18) The Tribulation would be severe enough,that it would make them “cry out in agony” like literal Birth-pangs.

When Jesus predicted Tribulation for the 12 about to enter Jerusalem,were they distressed by “grievous pains” and “torture” ? Yes,many fled their Master in terror !

How do you respond to “torture,to grievous pains,to be harassed and distressed” ? As those mentioned in Revelation 12:2 “cry out in labour and in pain”. Some translations say “agony”. So this is no picnic for those Invited Anointed as we head towards the Birth of the Kingdom and the Birth-pangs that Invited Anointed must go through. Jesus also said of the 12 about to enter Jerusalem,it was going to be “tribulation” for them. John 16:21

Now multiply that by ALL those enduring this as Invited Anointed ones about to be sealed or not...and you have Great Tribulation ! Just as all 12 disciples were going to be in tribulation at one time. So right now before Gods Kingdom is Born,all Invited Anointed at this time are being Tribulated all at once. So many at one time going through the Revelation 12:2 Birth-Pangs/labour pains.

Jesus said a pregnant woman forgets her “Tribulations”. John 16:21. In this verse,Jesus is not talking about a real woman,he is talking the birth of the Kingdom and Him being the first to be tribulated before being accepted and to be in the kingdom of God as the King of it. Although Gods Kingdom would not begin till all members were sealed into it:Born into it.

An important point. The accounts of Jesus reply about the “signs” highlight that the Great Tribulation is in the context of birth-pangs. The signs ARE the Birth-pangs leading to the Kingdoms birth. Matt 24:8

We have already established on another blog that Gods Kingdom has not been born yet.

http://thekingdomwasnotbornin1914.blogspot.com.au/

Who endures the Birth-Pangs? The Woman (sealed) and those who come THROUGH the Woman (Unsealed) covenant for the Kingdom,just as a child comes through a woman when it is born. Once sealed, the 144000 actually become the Covenant woman. This is the "fulfilment of the promise", which promise the Woman represents. Gal.4:28; Isa.42:6; 49:6,8; 62:4) In John16 Jesus shows its those who rule with Him who go through the foretold Tribulation/Birth-pangs, because he is talking about his own sufferings,because he will rule as King of Gods Kingdom.

This shows the birth pangs (Matt24:8 Rev 12:2) which is the Great Tribulation are experienced with all the Kingdom members.

So the Woman covenant and those who are part of it are experiencing Tribulation. Jesus was the 1st.

The "great tribulation” is “great” because so many will be tribulated at once. So many at one time are being asked “The Question” that experiencing Tribulation will give the answer to.

About "how many" (not really an amount or number--Revelation is symbolic) experience this testing....

It is not so much how many people, but the percentage of how many. In other words, it is 100% of all their number, however small or large that number is (Rev.7:9). There are those who will not be rescued from this great deception, and there are those who will be rescued.

God chooses by reading the heart. (Luke17:34).Not one of the called ones,escapes this testing.

(1Thess.5:3; Rev.3:10; 16:14; 13:8; 12:9; Luke21:35) (Mark8:35; Rev.6:11).

Yet the remnant will be saved out of it.

(1Cor.10:13; 2Pet.2:9; Matt.24:23; Ps.94:17; Jer.31:11; Isa.48:20,23; Zech.9:16).

But just as the deception reaches and tests all of God finds having suitable hearts that love truth, so will the truth reach them (Matt.24:14; Col.1:6,23; Rom.10:18; 2Tim.2:10; 1Tim.4:16).

The response to both, the truth and the lie,determines one's seal.

(Rev.20:12; 2Thess.2:10-12; Deut.6:6,8; Rev.13:16,8).

Daniel helps us to understand the main reason why this test is the greatest to come (just as Jesus said--Matt.24:21,22)

See Dan.7:7,15,19,21-23,25,28. "different", "especially fearsome". Yes...in harmony with the other scriptures, this last effort of Satan (Rev.12:17) is impossible for the invited to overcome on their own (Matt.24:24,25; Luke13:23,24; Matt.19:25,26)

(Rev.13:7,10; 11:2; Luke21:24; 2Thess.2:4,9-12;1Tim.4:1;Rev.16:13-18)

Since the “signs” are “birth pangs” of the impending birth of Gods Kingdom,then these signs are within the members of the soon to be born Kingdom. Matt 24 Mark 13 Luke 21. How do we know that? Jesus said the signs were the beginnings of the “Birth-Pangs”.

The purpose of the agony,pain,suffering from the Tribulation ,was to ask a question of ALL Invited Anointed during this period: Will they be faithful to their agreed upon Covenant with Jah and Christ. Will they “remain in union” with Christ or commit spiritual adultery with someone else? (1Cor.6:15-20; 2Cor.11:2-5) Why would that question need to be asked? Jesus explains “many are Invited (Anointed),few are chosen”. Few would remain Loyal to Christ during the Great Tribulating Birth-Pangs that are happening within all Invited Anointed being Born into Gods Kingdom. (Luke17:26;1Pet.3:20;Matt.7:14)

This the opposite of Invited Anointed within "Jehovah's Witnesses" are taught. There you are taught that once you are an Invited Anointed,its virtually certain you will get your Heavenly reward--as long as you remain the Governing Body's obedient slaves -Gal.1:10.. But this is not what Jesus said. “FEW” of those Invited Anointed from within "Jehovah's Witnesses" will enter Heaven.

Those who remain inside "Jehovah's Witnesses" and under the Lies of the Governing Body,thus in a state of Adultery,will not "enter heaven". They must come out -(Rev.18:4)

Its the Great Tribulating Birth-Pangs that reveal who the “Few” are.

John 16:21

Now we will look at John 16:21 and see how this ties in with Revelation 12:2.

John 16:21 “A woman, when she is giving birth, has grief, because her hour has arrived; but when she has brought forth the young child, she remembers the tribulation no more because of the joy that a man has been born into the world”

What “tribulation will she remember no more”? The Tribulation that is “when she is giving birth, has grief”. The Birth-Pangs cause the Tribulation.

The Tribulation is the grief because she is giving Birth caused by the Labour Pains. This obviously happens before the birth,because “giving Birth” is what happens before the Birth.

Jesus was talking about a “woman” for good reason. He uses an illustration of a woman giving birth because The Covenant of the “Woman” in Gen 3:16 was about to start to give birth to it members. As a real woman goes through “the tribulation of birth-pangs” just mentioned in John 16:21,so the members of the Woman covenant would also go through Great Tribulation because of Birth-Pangs.

Jesus was the foremost and first one. Would he go through Great Tribulation of Birth-Pangs so as to be “born” into/being fit for Gods Kingdom? Yes,by “His trials He learnt obedience”. As the 1^st and King of the Child mentioned,he would suffer terribly. He would have “Great Tribulation” getting into the Kingdom. But this would also effect the disciples. He mentions their grief because of the tribulation. In Jerusalem,they would be refined as worthy ones of the “child”. Many would abandon their master and this would reveal serious flaws that needed to be addressed. They were Invited Anointed,but not Chosen. They would only be “chosen” or sealed after they submitted to the “tribulation” and were purified by what it revealed about themselves,what the Tribulation revealed about “their metal”. This is the Greek meaning of “labour pains”. To be “in Pain” or “being Tormented” as explained above, that ALL going to be in Gods Kingdom must go though. This is so the “question” is answered.

Just as Jesus was the 1^st to be Tribulated as part of the Kingdoms “labour pains”,before being accepted into the Kingdom,this would also happen with the 12 and all other Invited Anointed after that. Their tribulations “Taught” them so they “learnt” what part of themselves as Bride Lamps had to trimmed away and corrected.

Judas was tribulated as Christs Invited Anointed One. It revealed flaws he would not trim away and so wasnt “chosen” because he wouldn't act in harmony with what the tribulation was teaching him about himself so as “to be perfected”.

Thats an important point. Jah sees our flaws and yet draws us to him confident we can overcome these flaws. Its trials and being tempted that reveal them. As James says,though,”rejoice when you meet with various trials”. These expose what we must work on to be perfected in “godly fear and awe”. So we embrace them.

Yet the rewards gained are like what happens after a woman endures the “births pangs tribulation”. Jesus said these are forgotten because of what happens after,is something to rejoice over. And those who are going through the Great Tribulating Birth-Pangs are the 1^st fruits of the ransom and enter the Kingdom. What else could be greater cause for happiness ?

“she remembers the tribulation no more because of the joy” So whatever we go through to gain “the reward”,we will have so much “Joy”,it will far outweigh the undeniable and predicted pains of “tribulation”. For those who are going to be part of the Child mentioned that the “woman” covenant gives birth to,we are living in a time when Jesus spoke of a “Great tribulation” for these Invited Anointed Ones.

Since we have explored the fact that Kingdom is about to be born,what does that tell us about the Great Tribulating Birth Pangs? Just as Jesus predicted “tribulation” for the 12 as they were about to enter Jerusalem,so this must be true as get close to the Kingdoms true Birth for the rest of Invited Anointed.

Isnt that what happens before a “Birth” ,tribulation via the birth-pangs? John :17 confirms this tribulation during Birth pangs. Since Jesus mentioned to the 12 involved THEY would experience tribulation,then for those who will be part of Gods Kingdom in this period will also get “tribulation”. Since there are so many in this time period to be part of the Kingdom,it means MANY will experience tribulation that comes along with being Born into the Kingdom.

Since its on such a large scale involving so many Invited Anointed in this time period,Jesus knew what he was talking about when he called it a “great tribulation” in Matt 24 and Mark13,because so many at one time would experience “tribulation” just before the Kingdoms REAL Birth.

So many at one time are going through “Great Tribulating Birth-Pangs”

WITHOUT THE TRIBULATION OF BIRTH PANGS UPON Invited Anointed,the Birth of Gods Kingdom cannot take place.

Can a birth take place without labour pains? No. Jesus was explaining this must happen to every person going to be coming through the “woman” covenant and thus entering Gods Kingdom as members of thr woman covenant.

Yes,these are the “Birth-Pangs” Jesus spoke about. Revelation says the same thing in 12:2.

This means all those who will be sealed into the Kingdom will have Birth-pangs or the tribulations from the Birth-pangs on a personal level. Particularly is this true being part of "Jehovah's Witnesses",since this is the Organisation to gather and test the Kingdom Heirs.

What “Birth Tribulations” are Invited Anointed experiencing in modern times? Fore-mostly,the Governing Body have become apostate. But satan is masking this for most within "Jehovah's Witnesses". The Governing Body are using the threat of Disfellowshipping anyone,in particular any Invited Anointed who decides to speak out and shine Light on Lies being taught. To be branded an apostate as the excuse to remove a Wise shining Bride Lamp is a terrible thing to bear.

Satan through the Governing Body is getting "Jehovah's Witnesses" to look in the World for the coming Great tribulation. But as we have established,its those who will be part of Gods Kingdom and part of the birth that experience the Great Tribulation. That is happening right now to Invited Anointed.

No-one from satan's world is going to be part of the Kingdom,so why are many looking there for the tribulations of the “Child” birth? Revelation 12:2

Tribulation are the Birth-Pangs that happen before the Birth. And “Great” because satan is causing all Invited Anointed intense “birth-pangs” by keeping many Invited Anointed trapped by the Harlots lies so his rule wont end.

The word “tribulation” Jesus used in John 16:21 and the word “being in pain” in Revelation 12:2, show the same purpose. To “test the metal” of the Invited Anointed to see where their defects are that must be addressed before entering the Kingdom as a co-ruler: For their robes of identification to be clean. This will be their personal “Birth Tribulation”..tribulations that lead to being born into the Kingdom.

Important point:

John 16:21 uses the same word Jesus uses for the Great tribulation in Matt 24:21 AND Revelation 7:14 “those who come out of the great tribulation” Its the same word. Mark 13:19 says “time of tribulation” not “great” tribulation,but significant tribulation as the context shows. Then Jesus in revelation 7:14 explains the purpose of the Tribulation thats mentioned in all 3 verses.(see “Revelation 7:14” just below) While the gospel accounts of Matt 24:21,Mark 13:19 show the “signs” are The Great Tribulation as part of the Birth pangs,Johns 16t shows it applies to the Woman covenant members:Those Invited Anointed 12 Jesus was talking to.

Jesus predicted Tribulation for those first Invited Anointed. These accounts dont explain why those coming through the Women NEED to go through these Tribulations. So using the same word,Jesus in Revelation 7:14 then explains why the Tribulations are needed. That the same word is used and thus its purpose is explained in Revelation 7:14, is very significant. We are not left in any doubt as to why the Great Tribulation amongst members of Christ's Invited Anointed who will be part of Gods Kingdom,must take place! It also shows The Great Tribulation is not happening to the world in general in a “lead up to Armageddon”.

So when we think of the term “great tribulation” we cant get obsessed about this as a title expression,because the Governing Body have made out its an event that precedes Armageddon. That its triggered by the UN doing something,or “babylon the great” falling and this starts the Great Tribulation. Mark calls the same thing a “time of tribulation”. But the tribulation is “great” indeed.

The “great tribulation” is part of what leads up to the Kingdom being “Born” and has nothing to do with the U.N supposedly attacking “babylon the great” thus triggering the Great Tribulation.

It has only to do with Kingdom being born and those who will be part of it.

To add proof to this,lets look at Revelation 7:14.

Revelation 7:14

14 So right away I said to him: “My lord, you are the one that knows.” And he said to me: “These are the ones that come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

So what is the RESULT of “the great tribulation”? “they have washed their robes and made them white” Who? V15 explains those who will be part of God temple. Yes,Jesus blood forgives their sins,but “they have washed their robes”. They did it. They allowed “The Great Tribulation” to show them where their personal “dross” was that was staining their white Robes,and washed that away by personal effort using Jesus blood. To the extent that their robes are now white,when before that it obviously means they were not cleansed white.

Before the Great Tribulation,their Robes were not unblemished White.

The results of the “the great tribulation” was not Armageddon. Those coming “out of The Great Tribulation” have their robes washed and made white via Jesus blood and their personal efforts. If we follow what "Jehovah's Witnesses" are taught,then those who went through the Great Tribulation should have been killed during Armageddon,because Armageddon is the climax of the Great Tribulation. But this is not what Revelation is saying.

Verse 15 shows us who specifically they are,that not everyone on earth who goes through The Great Tribulation:

15 That is why they are before the throne of God; and they are rendering him sacred service day and night in his temple; and the One seated on the throne will spread his tent over them”

Who is being spoken about here? All of satans world who are washing their robes and making them White through Jesus blood? Is the world going to give “sacred service day and night in his temple” No! That World belongs to satan and none of them are even remotely interested in “washing themselves clean” or of giving “sacred service” to God.. It has already been judged as not fit for paradise,and even less worthy of being “in his temple”.

So the Great Tribulation in Revelation 7:14 has nothing to do with the world under satans control...and everything to do with those who are part of Gods Temple of living members:The remnant of these living in our time before Gods Kingdom is Born.

Think about this: If we accept the premise that the Great Tribulation is going to happen to all the people in the world in general as "Jehovah's Witnesses" are taught,then according to Revelation 7:15,this means the world and all its people under satan, are going to be made white during the Great Tribulation, because we have just seen,this is its purpose..not to be killed in the supposed Great Tribulation's climax of Armageddon. Obviously this cant be the case. Also,as we see in Revelation 7:15,the purpose of the Great Tribulation is to make those peoples Robes White in the blood of the Lamb. Why would Jah then kill wicked people who have made their robes white during the Great Tribulation...kill them during Armageddon which as "Jehovah's Witnesses" are taught,is the supposed climax of The Great Tribulation? There were no exceptions according to that verse. ALL that went through the Great Tribulation and “came out”, had Robes that were made white AND served in Gods Temple. This means if the Great Tribulation happens to all the people in the World,then ALL people within satan's World are going to be made white,since they all supposedly going to go through The Great Tribulation.

Clearly,the world in general is NOT going to experience the bibles version of the Great Tribulation and be made white. ONLY those who are going to be part of Gods temple arrangement will experience this.

This is why the Bible makes clear the World in general will not experience the Biblical “Great Tribulation”. ONLY those who have “Robes”(Invited Anointed)...wash them...make them white via Christ's blood...and serve God in His Temple AFTER they “come out of the Great Tribulation” :Which are the Invited Anointed Remnant living in our time.

Who else is mentioned as “come out” of The Great Tribulation and supposedly then go into Armageddon? No-one! Once those “coming out” went into Gods Temple, NOTHING else is mentioned. That's because the purpose of The Great Tribulation has been accomplished within the group of people mentioned. Armageddon does not follow The Great Tribulation. Going into Gods Temple is what follows The Great Tribulation as the next event for those who “come out” of it.

The people of the World and most of "Jehovah's Witnesses" are NOT going to serve God in His Temple. So,most people will not be going through The Great Tribulation.

The purpose of The Great Tribulation is to have Robes made White so the ones mentioned can serve in Gods Temple. What IS the Temple?

In talking about serving in the “Temple”,its talking about the living stone members of that Temple. Gods Temple is made up of Sealed “Chosen” Anointed. This verse its talking about Invited Anointed who have come through the Great Tribulation and have been made white,because they were purified BY IT.

Can the U.N. supposedly attacking “Babylon the Great” bring about a cleansing of Invited Anointed who will become part of Gods Kingdom/Temple? Does that sound like a leading up to a war where God destroys the wicked ? No. These ones who make it through the Great Tribulation are now,after going through the Great Tribulation,sealed members of the Living Temple: Those now sealed (after the tribulation) as part of Gods Kingdom,because they passed through the Great Tribulation and were made white by it. Thats why they can now serve in Gods Temple. They are made White and Worthy VIA The Great Tribulation.

We have clearly identified from these verses who are involved within the Great Tribulation: The Invited Anointed who are going to be part of Gods completed Temple. Its not the whole world in general who are effected by a supposed world wide event called the Great Tribulation that is climaxed by Armageddon . The Great Tribulation does not even involve the U.N.,since the U.N. will not be cleansing the Invited Anointed. Christ's blood does that. The ONLY ones it effects are those who will be sealed into the Temple as living members of it.

As if Jah would want the U.N.,which is parts of satan's world, to be involved with cleansing His Temple Members. As part of satan's world,they are unclean themselves. Thus the U.N. has no part of The Bibles version of The Great Tribulation.

The Invited Anointed “serve” in the Temple because they ARE the Temple. They are now fit to serve there because the Great Tribulation served to purify them. They chose to act in harmony with the purifying.

The purpose of the Great Tribulation? For those who are Invited Anointed who will form part of the Temple to come through it and have their Robes washed clean BY THEM purifying themselves. THEY wash themselves clean by concerted efforts...using Jesus blood, “The question” asked of them VIA the Great Tribulating Birth-Pangs has been given an answer. They washed their robes and made them white. “White” is a hard color to get stains out of. They chose to remove uncleanness from their “Robes” of identification and so gained the reward of being part of Gods Living Temple,because they came “out of the Great Tribulation” as victorious conquerors. Many Invited Anointed did NOT make it through “the Great Tribulation” as Jesus predicted.

Why the Tribulation is “Great”.

Matt says “there will be a great tribulation”,NOT “for then will start (via the U.N's actions)the “The Great Tribulation”. Like its a title and has a specific starting point by actions of the U.N.. If it were such,Mark would also called it by the same thing..a title. The word “great” is talking about the intensity and enormity of the Tribulation upon Invited Anointed. Only that. None of the 2 words in Greek have any meaning of it being connected to form a title description of a series of events in the world. As in,just before Armageddon,there will be a world wide event called “The Great Tribulation”.

The exact same word “Great” is used in other places in the Greek Scriptures. Greek word 3137.

Matt 11:11“Truly I say to you, among those born of women there has not arisen anyone greater G3173 than John the Baptist! Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater G3173 than he.”

So because the Governing Body incorrectly use the term “The Great Tribulation” and according to them the 2 words form a “title description” of a certain significant event,do we now do this in regards to John and call him “John the Great” or “The Great John” ? No. Its a “verb” word. That's all. But to be consistent,if the word “great” is used as the Governing Body says it should,then we should call John the baptist, “The Great John”. :-)

The “tribulation” is “great” in its impact and intensity.

Another example of where “Great” is used. Mat15:28

Then Jesus said to her, “O woman, your faith is great;G3173 it shall be done for you as you wish.” And her daughter was healed at once”

Notice how Jesus is using the same word to describe the woman's faith,not using it as a title? Her faith is “great”. It was describing a certain characteristic of her faith,that it was great and thus significant.

This is why Jesus used the word great in describing the Tribulation. It is great or significant in some way.

So why is it “Great”?

Jesus said of His 12 “satan has demanded you be sifted”. How was this to happen? Through a tribulation that he mentions in John 16:21. Revelation12:2 confirms what ALL Invited Anointed must go through. Just as Job was “tortured” to see what kind of “metal” he was,so to with those mentioned in Revelation 12:2. They must show they are worthy of the invitation of Heaven. Jah Himself says he sits over a refiners vessel and purifies those He will use. “Heat” from the furnace is being applied to anyone who is going to be part of the Kingdom. There are things within them that need to be removed,which is why they are being refined. Revelation 7:14 made that clear. They did not have “white” Robes.

Before The Great Tribulation,their Robes were not white,thus not fit to be within Gods Temple,even though Invited Anointed.

They were not mentioned as serving in The Temple before the Great Tribulation. That's because they were not “white” or purified and thus not fit to serve in Gods Temple. That was only possible after the Great Tribulation.

But,Jesus then went on to say,that the “Woman” once the “Child” was Born would “forget” her “Tribulation”,because of the Joy of that Child's birth. Those who make it through the Great Tribulating Birth-Pangs of the present,have “given the answer to the question” thats needed,so they can be part of the Child that is Gods Kingdom.

Terrible as the Great Tribulating birth/ labour pains are,they will be “forgotten” once the The Kingdom has been Born. The tribulation must be experienced by members of the Child,just as surely as labour pains are endured by a Woman giving birth,just like the Woman in Revelation12:2 . BUT she knows what the end goal is as she endures the labour pains. Is “She” in any doubt about what will happen at the end of the Great Tribulating Birth Pangs of so many Invited Anointed? No,she knows there will be a Child/Kingdom made of these tribulated ones...and so “she” focuses on what she has to do to make it through the Birth-Pangs .

Will the woman in Revelation,stop the process of Her tribulation so that the members of the Child/ Kingdom don't suffer? No! Because the child IS going to be born and the process of the Great Tribulating Birth Pangs must be allowed to finish their purpose. Jesus said to pray for that child to be born. “Let your Kingdom come”. And there is only one way for that to happen. For all its members to go through the Tribulation and anguish of Birth-Pangs. Did Jesus try and stop the Tribulation of Birth-Pangs for His very own 12? No! He warned them so as to prepare them for it,even telling Peter that satan had demanded it.

There were many failures many times in the next few days as they went into Jerusalem because of the tribulation all of them faced. But this was part of the refining. At the end of their Physical lives on earth,11 proved faithful despite their earlier failures. They were refined, and at their deaths were worthy of being born into the Kingdom as Temple Members.

When the current Greatest Tribulation is over for Invited Anointed,the completed number of the Child Kingdom will be born. Satan and his accusations will finish..and the members of the child “will remember her pains no more” because of the joys of being sealed into the Kingdom.

For those who are being tribulated through Birth-Pangs as Invited Anointed ones,remember the goal just ahead. You are part of a great number who form the group who are undergoing the Greatest Tribulation bought by satan in History upon Invited Anointed. You are not alone in your Birth-Pangs. Like a woman giving birth,remember the goal. That of joining other faithful tribulated Ones in the Kingdom.

Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the torture stake, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.—Hebrews 12:2

Jesus endured his own personal Great Tribulating Birth-Pangs and left an example for those Invited Anointed who would go through them also.

Jesus endured the tribulation of the stake because he looked to the Joy after it. He had been in Heaven before,so He knew of it. But it was the joy He knew that WOULD come after His Tribulation that helped Him to endure His own Birth-Pangs. That Joy,helped Him to dispise the shame of the stake and what it supposedly said about Him because it was a lie,just as you will be figuratively killed from within "Jehovah's Witnesses" if you take a stand for truth. This will be shameful to bear. A terrible lie. But as Jesus bore the torture stake and the shameful lie for Him being on it,you also can bear being Disfellowshipped and that shame because its a lie.

The Joy that he knew awaited Him was so great,it helped Him endure TORTURE on the stake. That torture was “asking a question” as the foremost one of the Woman's seed. What was he willing to endure to prove faithful and be Born into the Kingdom...as the King of that Kingdom? The “torture” stake was the final part of his Birth-Pangs asking of Him “the question” since His baptism. And these would have made him cry out in anguish as a woman endures the pains of child birth. But the answer to the question had to be given,and as the One who would be an example for other Invited Anointed to follow,these Invited Anointed would also follow Jesus into their own Tribulation Birth-Pangs,so they provide “the Answer” to “The question” asked of them. The “question” raised in Revelation 12:2.: What sort of metal are they? Are they willing to be purified so as to be pure...and thus when put against the “touch stone labour pains” mentioned in Revelation. It would show they are worthy of being in Gods Kingdom.

What would these ones be willing to do to change and work on,which would be revealed by the “touch stone labour pains”? Just like what happened to the 12 as they entered Jerusalem with Jesus and he predicted the pain they would experience there. Jesus gave the illustration for a reason. They were going to enter the start of their “touch stone labour pains”.

But Jesus didnt just say they were going to experience grief through the “touch stone labour pains”. He pointed out an obvious fact that they knew about. After a woman does give birth,the Joys afterwards makes the woman forget her tribulation. Jesus pointed out the Joy they needed to focus on because that would be the results of the “touch stone labour pains”. So although “grevious”,the “touch stone labour pains” were needed to gain the Joys that came afterwards,their Birth into the Kingdom and thus serve in Gods Temple.

What an incentive to endure and act in harmony with the “tribulation”. And it was these things also that helped Jesus to endure. What was before him as King of the Kingdom,was the very same thing He offered His 12,to be part of their Masters Kingdom. Just as Jesus was about to endure “touch stone labour pains” and the Joys afterwards,helped him to endure. He offered the same to His 12.

They were put against the “touch stone” and shown to not be “pure”. The “grief” Jesus spoke about was not just that they betrayed Jesus as Peter did,but the pain of knowing what they did and the pain of facing something terrible within themselves and having to change. Peter wept bitterly after the cock crowed. It revealed a flaw that must be worked on,one that led to betraying his dear and loved friend. And it was only by the “Great Tribulating Birth Pangs/touch stone labour pains” Peter endured, that he was refined. And what was the Joy afterwards? That he would be given the keys to the Kingdom. So whatever he went through,the Joys coming from its results,that somehow had to do with the Kingdom,was a cause for Joy and a reason to endure the terrible “touch stone labour pains”. The Great Tribulating Birth-Pangs

When a woman is gripped by contractions and pains that suddenly and unknowingly come in waves,these poor women grab parts of their bodies and writhe and moan in agony. This was what our Brother Peter went through. As the “contraction” of a flaw is revealed by the “tribulation”,it caused untold grief and agony to him. The grief and agony that such a flaw could possibly exist inside us is hard to bear,just as Peter could not imagine the flaw that existed within him,when earlier he was confident it did not exist. That an unknown flaw would lead him to betray Jesus. What an excruciating labour pain contraction that was !

But it was interesting Peter saw the flaws for himself,which shows the good that was inside him that made him feel terrible about the “bad” that was revealed. Peter did not reject the “touch stone labour pains” in what it was teaching him. He let the discipline have its work completed” in regards to himself. Unlike Judas.

Dross is a small part of the overall material. This was true of Peter. The dross was revealed,but the greater part of his “good” allowed the dross to be seen and dealt with.

The context of the word in Revelation12:2 is in the period and context of the birth-Pangs and the woman being in “labour”. So what the Invited Anointed do during this period of anguish,which IS the “touch stone”,reveals their true selves AND what they are willing to do to purify themselves to acting harmony with Jah the great refiner / purifier of His Brothers here on earth.

What is Matt 25:23 revealing that Jesus is confident about? It will be possible for these to “enter the Joy of their master”,who overcame his Birth-Pangs via that Joy that Jesus KNEW would come after His Tribulation.

Some of the “Birth-pang Signs” which are the Birth-Pangs/Labour Pains for Invited Anointed.

Just as a physical woman's labour is marked by obvious indicators within her body,so also within the members of the body of Christ during their Birth-Pangs that they need to go through to be Born into Gods Kingdom. These are what Jesus called the Birth-Pang Signs.

What those going to be Born into Gods Kingdom must endure.

The signs being the birth pangs for the Kingdom members was spoken about by Jesus, describing them in certain ways. This was to show the many ways the birth pangs would manifest themselves to those going through them. So for an Invited Anointed,how can the different parts of the “signs” be like Birth pangs for them ?

These events within Invited Anointed as a whole, but in particular as Individuals, “are asking them a question”. 2 Events,Earthquakes and food shortages are a terrible thing for Invited Anointed to face. In what way?

The Greek meanings will help us discover why they are likened to Birth-Pangs.

Earth quakes. Meaning? Earthquake:G4578. “a shaking, a commotion”. Can this be true for members who are Anointed and Invited Anointed to be part of the Kingdom? Yes ! Imagine the great shock of finding out the many “truths” that you think of as true..are in fact false. “1914” has been believed by most Invited Anointed as the year the Kingdom was born. How many Invited Anointed have preached this as “active” members of "Jehovah's Witnesses"? How many Invited Anointed have given copies of the WT to people which has on its cover a LIE about the Kingdoms Birth? But there is overwhelming proof this is not true. For an Invited Anointed who realises this truth,it is “shaking” for them..a shifting and rocking in their personal life caused by such Revelations ! Its not just that this truth is revealed to them by Holy Spirit or from other Anointed Invited Anointed and is therefore is like a personal “earth quake”. Its the fact that the Governing Body who are also Invited Anointed continue to preach this lie under the pretext of another lie. That they are a channel of Holy Spirit for the Organisation of "Jehovah's Witnesses".

The Invited Anointed one has trusted these people,while being part of the Organisation. Now this trust is shattered. Just as birth pangs are incredibly painful for a woman,so this part of the fulfilment of the Birth-Pangs is for those who go through them. The Birth pang pain for this person,because of the realisation of the lies the Governing Body teach is terrible. But it also will have a huge impact on this person if they decide to take Jahs side and live up to the dedication/covenant and the promise given them when their Anointing occurred.

After all their time as a "Jehovah's Witnesses",what will they do now they know the real truth after preaching these lies for so long themselves ? There is only course and the repercussions will mean their expulsion from "Jehovah's Witnesses" at the hands of those who are supposedly Shepards of the flock and with the full consent of the Governing Body,who do not want their position in the Organisation threatened by Invited Anointed who will speak out.

Earth/quakes indeed ! Spiritual upheaval.

Hebrews 12:27 (NIV)

27 The words “once more” indicate the removing of what can be shaken—that is, created things(lies the Anointed believe at present “created by satan)—so that what cannot be shaken(truth) may remain.

Mark 13:25 (NIV)

25 the stars will fall from the sky(many Invited Anointed), and the heavenly bodies (those with the heavenly Hope)will be shaken.

Ezekiel 38:19 (NIV)

19 In my zeal and fiery wrath I declare that at that time there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel.(amongst ALL the nation of spiritual Israel)

Zechariah 14:4 (NIV)

4 On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south.

5 You will flee by my mountain valley, for it will extend to Azel. You will flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the Lord my God will come, and all the holy ones with him

Earth-quake Greek word:G4578.a shaking, a commotion. All this within the unsealed Invited Anointed “earth”. Thus “earth”quakes. A “shaking and commotion” within the unsealed earth Invited Anointed. Jesus is not talking about the literal “earth” that has violent quakes,but it is ALL unsealed Invited Anointed. What could be more of a commotion amongst all unsealed but the dividing of them into 2 camps:wheat and weeds? What is dividing the group?

The Great Tribulating Birth Pangs and the Lies it exposes!

Since the Signs are the Birth-pangs,and these are what Invited Anointed must go through before entering their heavenly hope,one of the signs are quakes within this group. What sort of "quakes"? Earth quakes. What is the earth mentioned in the bible many times? UNsealed Invited Anointed.

So the quakes mentioned in the context of the signs/birth-pangs/Great tribulation are "earth-quakes" effecting the UNsealed Invited Anointed...on their way to being either “chosen” or not. Which IS the point Jesus is making by all the signs within The Great Tribulating Birth Pangs. But isnt it interesting that "earth quakes" are applied like this? We can rightly call them “quakes” within the Unsealed earth/Invited Anointed. It adds further proof to the argument that the Great Tribulation Birth Pang Signs effect only the Invited Anointed.

Jesus is not talking about literal physical earth quakes because the literal earth is not an Invited Anointed. Its not the physical earth being Born into the Kingdom. Its the brothers and sisters of Christ: The UNsealed Earth.

So just the break-up of the word "earth/quakes" shows The Great Tribulation is within the UNsealed earth:the Invited Anointed remnant in our time.

Like Revelation 7:14 which described the purpose of The Great Tribulation,Paul does also.

Hebrews 12:26 (NIV)

26 At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Once more I will shake( I will set in commotion. NWT) not only the earth but also the heavens.”

27 The words “once more” indicate the removing of what can be shaken(those Invited Anointed who will be unfaithful and thus not “chosen”)—that is, created things(lies coming from the Governing Body which the unfaithful follow,which are not from Christ)—so that what cannot be shaken may remain.(The truth through Christ cannot be shaken out of place and neither can those who are faithful to it. What will “remain” are those who will form the Kingdom of unshakable members,from whom truth cannot be shaken or removed.)

28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken(because the Kingdom consists of Invited Anointed members who cannot be shaken by Great Tribulating Birth Pangs), let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe,

The mentioned “shaking” and “commotion” (thus earth-quake)going on within the context of Hebrews 12:26 is concerning Gods Kingdom which is,the 144,000 members. So the “shaking and commotion” thats going on,are the earth-quakes Christ mentioned within those who are going through the Great Tribulating Birth Pangs. The purpose? “so that what cannot be shaken may remain” There will prove to be members of the Kingdom that “ cannot be shaken” and thus remain true to their Invitation and like the 5 wise virgins,enter heaven.

So why would Jah through Paul explain there would be Earth-quakes causing “shaking” and “commotion” within the Kingdom Invited Anointed Members? Because Christ had spoken about the same thing while on earth. Paul was inspired to show its purpose as Christ had: That there would be members who could have been part of Gods Kingdom,but instead would not be loyal to their covenant and be unfaithful. These unfaithful Invited Anointed can be shaken. But the faithful Kingdom members cannot be shaken though they go through the same process as the unfaithful. The UNfaithful will be loyal to “created things” not coming from Jah through Christ. As we see in modern times,the “created things” that are making Invited Anointed “shaken” and thus proved unfaithful,is what is coming from the Governing Body.

Paul was pointing out that there would be “created things” that existed within the Kingdom Members. That these should not be there. So the Earth-quakes which cause “shaking and commotion” was needed to remove the Invited Anointed Kingdom members who still clung to these “created things”,things that will not be tolerated within Gods Kingdom of faithful Invited Anointed members.

How severe would these “shaking” and “commotion” earth-quakes within All Invited Anointed as a group be?

Revelation 16:18 Then there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder and a severe earthquake. No earthquake like it has ever occurred since mankind has been on earth, so tremendous was the quake.

Doesnt this remind us what Christ said in the Gospel account: “a great tribulation(which includes earth-quakes) that has not occurred since the beginning of the world,no,nor will happen again” What we are witnessing amongst Invited Anointed as a group will never happen again and couldn't. This is because we are just before the Kingdoms Birth. That will never happen again. So many at one time are being tribulated and “shaken” and in “commotion”(earth-quakes) before entering the “new heavens”,The Kingdom of God.

Heb12: 26 “At that time his voice shook the earth” the Unsealed Anointed. What was the result?

2 Peter 3:10 Yet Jehovah’s day will come as a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a hissing noise, but the elements being intensely hot will be dissolved, and earth and the works in it will be burned up.

The “created things” not meant to be within The “earth” of UNsealed Invited Anointed, “will be burned up” by the shaking “earth” quake going on within all Invited Anointed. Jahs words of newly revealed truth that act like fire,will have this effect on anything within Invited Anointed that should not be there.

The NWT bible says:Earth and the works in it will be discovered. “Discovered” in what way? Discovered as combustible before Jahs fire words of truth and show either Invited Anointed are fit to be in Gods Kingdom Temple or not BY their acceptance of truth. The Earth-quakes which cause the “shaking and commotion” accomplish this.

This explains why Peter then says:”Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness” “these things” which are the combustible lies,Idolatry and things causing stains of the “Robes” of Invited Anointed,will be removed by the fire of Jahs words of Truth:”destroyed in this way” But those Invited Anointed who dont act in harmony with truth,will themselves be burned up. Their Hopes of Heaven will be lost.

But Heb12:26 26 also says: “At that time his voice shook the earth,but now he has promised, saying: “Yet once more I will set in commotion not only the earth but also the heaven.” NWT.

Earthquake:G4578.a shaking, a commotion.

Notice how the 2 Greek meanings of Earthquakes in different translations are Included in Pauls explaining of what must happen within the “Earth and Heavens”? Earth-quakes: “Shaking” and “commotion”. Both these meanings explain why the “earth-quakes” must happen within Invited Anointed. This is in Harmony with Revelation 12:2 about asking a “question” of those who were going through Birth-Pangs. Revelation 7:14 explains the purpose of The Great Tribulation. Its not a lead up to Armageddon. The purpose is to come out of it with white Robes for those who will be in Gods Temple of living members. All these verses have a common theme: That those who are Invited Anointed must be purified. And its The Great Tribulating Birth Pangs that accomplish this. In this case,via the “earth-quakes”

The earth-quakes Jesus mentioned which are a “shaking and commotion” within Invited Anointed,are part of the Birth-Pangs. Paul then uses these same words of the Greek meaning of “earth-quakes”, to show its happening to UNsealed Invited Anointed,to remove that which can be shaken(as opposed to The Kingdom of Faithful Anointed, which cannot be shaken),those who will not be of the sealed Kingdom members.

Its the “Shaking” and “commotion” which are the “earthquakes”,which accomplish this within Invited Anointed.

Earthquake to God's own people (unsealed)---(Ezekiel38:19; Zech.14:4,5; Isaiah24:17-23; Joel3:16---note in Joel3:16, that the earthquake (God's roar) will come through Zion. Also Psalm110:2 (Rev.2:27). With God's roar of thunder, which causes the earthquake (Isa.29:6; Hab.3:6; Zech.4:7; Haggai2:6), is "lightening" (Psalm97:4; Rev.8:5; Matt.24:27). (Haggai2:6--Rev.10:2,5,3-7,11)

http://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com.au/2014/04/lightening-from-east-to-west.html

Here is the "earthquake"the elders themselves cause among the unsealed,in harmony with Rev.9 (Isa.24:14-23; 14:16) and Joel all of chapter 2, but note verse 10.

If you are wondering about verse 11,it is the parallel to Rev.6:2, when Jesus heads up the discipline on the UNsealed,and uses the Gentiles (elders,organisation) to do it. This kind of discipline is nothing new. God has used Gentiles attacks repeatedly,when His people rebel against Him (Isa.10:5,6,12; 14:25; 13:5; Micah5:3-8).

In the context of Isa.14:16 ("man" of lawlessness -2Thess.2:3,4), you may note Isa.14:12, which is the parallel to Rev.9:1 and 8:8. Isn't it amazing how the contexts fit together?! It assures us that we really do understand the right interpretation. The WT teaches that this fallen star is Satan.

After God is done using the Organisation to discipline/separate/sift/harvest/seal the Invited, He punishes them (Isa.10:25; 27:7; 31:8;--Rev.19:15) (Zech.1:15).

Food shortages:

Remember,Jesus is mentioning “food shortages” as one of the events which is part of the “Birth-Pangs” that are effecting ALL Invited Anointed in the time of the end before Gods Kingdom is Born.

Food shortages. Greek word #3042. Through the idea of destitution. Sometimes translated as hunger. If you are destitute,then you will be hungry. You dont have the means to feed yourself. If its on a great scale afflicting many people as it is with ALL Invited Anointed,then it is a food shortage causing hunger because as a group,destitution exists.

Thus,the Invited Anointed as a group,will be a Spiritual Nation in a state of Spiritual Destitution. Why? Because their inheritance coming from Christ via Holy Spirit as Invited Anointed is being hindered.

How is this true of Invited Anointed today? The Governing Body have given away their spiritual inheritance and this is effecting other Invited Anointed because The Governing Body are spiritually destitute and have nothing of any spiritual value to share. They gave their spiritual inheritance away for their position of “Governance”...and so are in a state of spiritual destitution.

Not just that,but because unsealed Invited Anointed are listening to the Governing Body saying they are a “channel of Holy Spirit” and they need to be taught things “coming to them via Holy Spirit”,they therefore listen to this lie and are not being fed spiritually by the One who sent the Father's Holy Spirit to them and Invited Anointed them. Because they don't listen to Christ via Holy Spirit anymore,they are malnourished and are enduring pestilence that comes from being spiritually sick because of spiritual destitution.

This is happening as part of the Great Tribulating Birth-Pangs to see if Invited Anointed will remain in Union with Christ who sent the Father's Holy Spirit and formed that Union when they were Invited Anointed. The “union” comes about through Holy Spirit. But if they listen to the Governing Body's lies about Holy Spirit because they claim they are a “channel of Holy Spirit”,they will NOT listen to their true husbandly owner,Christ. Thus they will not be in Union with Christ,but in adulterous union with the Governing Body.

The Governing Body are saying,”we give you what you need from Holy Spirit”. Therefore they are acting as another husband towards Invited Anointed because that can only come through Christ,not anyone else. This leads to spiritual “ destitution” and “food shortages” amongst a large number of Invited Anointed who still believe the Governing Body's lies about their role with Holy Spirit.

To listen to the Governing Body's lies about their self proclaimed role with Holy Spirit will leave you “destitute”,thus having very little true food. This is part of the Birth-Pangs Invited Anointed are having to endure. They are in the middle of a food shortage!

It doesn't end there. Once an Invited Anointed starts to wake up via Holy Spirit and lies are revealed and they start sharing what they learn from Christ through Holy Spirit,then they are persecuted for doing so. True spiritual food from Holy Spirit via Invited Anointed NOT part of the Governing Body, is not welcome within "Jehovah's Witnesses" because of the propaganda coming from the Governing Body who claim true food from Holy Spirit ONLY comes from them. This is NOT what the Bible says!

Remember,the “Signs” are the Birth-Pangs. Birth-pangs happen ONLY to those who will be Born into Gods Kingdom. So “food shortages” must in some way be applying to Invited Anointed at this time.

Is spiritual destitution happening to Invited Anointed as we head towards the Kingdoms true birth? Yes,without doubt.

The scriptures make clear that Invited Anointed would be fed by Jesus himself Via the token. 1John 2:27 says “you dont need anyone to be teaching you anything.” This is because via the token Holy Spirit,Jesus himself is feeding them...if the listen to Him. He does this because He is the Invited Anointed ones “Husbandly Owner” and as a diligent husband,is keen to teach His “brothers and sisters” what they need to know.

But there is serious problem facing Invited Anointed in this regard. There is someone else trying to take the place of Jesus as their one and only “Husband”. The Governing Body have taken it upon themselves to try and take His place in the intimate relationship between the Invited Anointed one and Jesus their husband. How ? By presumptuously claiming they are the ones to teach everyone in the Organisation including any Invited Anointed ones. They say they can do this by being a “channel of Holy Spirit”,which includes Invited Anointed within "Jehovah's Witnesses". This is not their job. If they were directed by spirit as they claim,then they would see in the bible,Jesus is the one teaching those who will be part of the 144,000..NOT anyone else. John went on to say,that Invited Anointed only have “one Husband”,which may seem a strange thing to say,but under inspiration from the Token from Christ,John foresaw the dangers facing Invited Anointed in any time period from “another husband” who would try to take the place of Christ. But this is esp true as so many Invited Anointed are going through Birth Pangs right now at this time.

The Governing Body have gone even further by presumptuously saying that Invited Anointed have no special connection with the Holy Spirit. No more than a non anointed. They say that the Holy Spirit does not act upon them as the bible says it does. This is a lie to protect their position in the Organisation as the “channel of Holy Spirit” and they say it,not because its true.

This is so that they are the ones in their Governing position and being revered in this position.

What it accomplishes in the Invited Anointed who believe this lie is a state of spiritual malnutrition...a “food-shortage”. Instead of listening to their husbandly owner,they listen to apostate anointed in the Governing Body who claim to take the place of Christ in the relationship between Christ and an Invited Anointed one in teaching them VIA Holy Spirit.

So are there food shortages within Invited Anointed as a Nation group who are within "Jehovah's Witnesses" if the Governing Body keep saying they are in their God given place teaching all including anointed? Most certainly ! If the Governing Body are acting as “another husband”,doesnt this damage the correct spiritual link between Jesus the “Husbandly Owner”and Invited Anointed? How can Jesus properly instruct a person if they deny Jesus is their only one Husband and listen to an imposter to teach them? That the Governing Body are telling Invited Anointed there is no special connection and Holy Spirit is NOT acting upon them in any special way,is a fundamental lie about a “basic truth” for all Invited Anointed and their being in Union with Christ.

This lie is depriving any Invited Anointed who believe it, of spiritual sustenance from their Inheritance as Invited Anointed. Thus they are in a sate of spiritual destitution. If Jesus the Husband is saying He will feed them via the Holy Spirit and the Governing Body contradict this and Invited Anointed believe this,then they are effected by this lack of spiritual nourishment. As a person may lack certain basics of food,this WILL certainly effect a person. This is why Jesus went on to talk about pestilence. Sickness follows lack of “proper” food OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME.

The Governing Body have been lying to Invited Anointed for a long time about their being a “channel of Holy Spirit” What a cunning lie. Its an acknowledgement that Invited Anointed have to have Holy Spirit...but a lie to say it comes through a “channel” and not directly from Jesus who is their betrothed.

A Basic fundamental for any Invited Anointed,is the connection (being in Union) via Holy Spirit with their husbandly owner,Christ.

How else did they know they were Invited Anointed ? Did the Governing Body tell them they were ? No! The Holy Spirit sent by Jesus did this. If Jesus sent this token,who are the Governing Body to contradict what Jesus HAS ALREADY DONE. If Anointed are taught lies in this matter and believe these lies from the Governing Body,their accepting the Governing Body as another husband will cripple their spiritual development via lack of true spiritual food,BECAUSE they are in spiritual adultery listening to “another husband” instead of Christ via Holy Spirit,which the Governing Body denies as being real for Invited Anointed.

Who is better equipped as the real husband to teach Invited Anointed? Christ the real “one husband” or an imposter ?

Lack of physical food effects one in so many aspects in how a person functions in their lives. But “junkfood' does the same thing. It may seem to fill the stomach,but does nothing for a person health. This is part of the REAL food shortages that Invited Anointed are going through being within "Jehovah's Witnesses" in these last days and are being taught by the Governing Body. If the Governing Body are making claims of being able to take Christ's place in feeding Anointed but really cant do this as they arent able to send Holy Spirit to Anointed as Jesus can,will this not be reflected in the destitute and toxic “food” they dish out ?

If the Governing Body are denying such a basic thing as the connection via Holy Spirit that every Anointed has to Christ their Husbandly owner,then what does this say about the rest of what they offer as “spiritual food”?

The pitiful food anointed are eating from the hand of the imposter husband will continue to be eaten by anointed,till they wake up to the lies they are being fed.

A person fed physdo spiritual“junk food lies”, from the Governing Body are diseased and sick,which causes pain the body. To recover takes time with the right food AND the proper connection between the Invited Anointed one and Jesus through Holy Spirit is re-established.

But once an Invited Anointed is being awakened to the imposter husband Governing Body and the severed/hindered connection of Holy Spirit to their REAL husband,this is a another cause of great pain, which is part of the birth pangs or labour pains. Which husband are they going to be loyal to ? Who will they remain “in Union” with? The One who Invited Anointed them to be Anointed,or the imposter ? The Imposter Governing Body IS going to put great pressure on Invited Anointed within "Jehovah's Witnesses" to stay loyal to them rather than Christ. Invited Anointed are continually told that Holy Spirit has no more effect on them than non-anointed. This is so the Governing Body dont lose their position which is justified by their claim of being a “channel of Holy Spirit” to teach all within the Org,including Anointed.

Any Invited Anointed who refuse to accept the Imposter husband are removed from the Organisation by being Disfellowshipped. This is certainly a cause of great pain and part of their personal “Birth pangs”. Will an Invited Anointed be willing to endure this,or just remain silent and thus not have to face this pain?

If one is crippled by lack of real food,this effects sight and hearing and a proper sense of balance..just as it does to a physically malnourished person.

Invited Anointed all over the world are experiencing the “food shortages” in all nations where they live because of the imposter “other husband” Governing Body. 1John2:21. Jesus said food shortages in one place after another would happen. This is because the Governing Body's influence is felt in every congregation where the Invited Anointed are.

Are the earth/quakes and food-shortages things that cause distress and anguish for those who are enduring these Birth-pangs? Yes. Putting all these parts of the birth pangs together,we can see why they are called “Birth pangs” for those who experience them. In so many ways,Invited Anointed are tribulated before entering the Kingdom by being sealed into it. But its also distressing for those who are in heaven and already there waiting for their Brothers and Sisters to be sealed. As revelation12:2 points out,the woman cries out in pain:all of those who are already part of the woman covenant. So those from past times already in Heaven feel the pain of their unsealed Invited Anointed Brothers and Sisters.

When Jesus said He would arrive,there would be the FDS already doing so. But in another illustration,Jesus also said that foolish Virgins would ask Wise Virgins for oil,or some of what they have(Holy Spirit) for spiritual light. This shows that “5” within the Invited Anointed as a group would have no light about Jesus true arrival,while “5” would. Why is this the case? Why would “5” of Invited Anointed not have spiritual light coming from Holy Spirit? Because they are in a state of destitution. The “5” fool Virgins have given away(bartered) their means of being fed because of their idolatrous connection with the Governing Body. This is why they cant feed themselves or others. Holy Spirit cannot operate upon them,even though Invited Anointed. Why? They are now not going to enter the Kingdom of God.

Add to this Jesus words about some of His own Brothers beating faithful brothers of His,Fool Virgins, some of His Invited Anointed being weeds instead of wheat,and a Harlot operating in their midst,what else would this lead to spiritually AMONGST Invited Anointed? “Foodshortages”. All because some of Jesus own Invited Anointed choosing spiritual destitution.

Other points to ponder.

If we accept 1914,then we also must accept “pangs of distress” being correct over the true Greek meaning:birth pangs...and the UN being the beast that attacks religion. This is because this whole lie of 1914 depends on birth pangs continuing after a birth which is non sence and NOT how a birth happens. And since birth pangs are The Great Tribulation and they MUST come before a birth,to ignore this means the Great Tribulating Birth Pangs must happen some other way. Thus the UN has been selected and spruiked by satan as the means of bringing the start of the Great Tribulation.

But this is all part of satans great lie that is needed to cover over an important truth. Birth pangs happen before a birth,not after. This also means,The Great Tribulation,which are the Birth-Pangs,must ALSO happen BEFORE Gods Kingdom is Born. Even in the Kingdom Interlinear Greek bible published by the Governing Body,you will find the Governing Body of the time admitting that “pangs of distress” in Greek is “birth pangs” ! Thus the Great Tribulation must happen before the Kingdoms birth.

The Signs of the end,are part of the Kingdoms IMPENDING Birth,BECAUSE The Great Tribulation are the Birth-pangs. This is what happens before the Birth amongst those who will form part of Gods Kingdom,those who are born into it. And when all Invited Anointed remnant members have all been tribulated by the birth pangs and they have “answered the question” concerning their loyalty to their personal Covenant Invitation,then the Kingdom can be Born as a completed group.

But,all have to go through their personal Great Tribulating Birth Pangs first.

Is this something taught with "Jehovah's Witnesses"? No. You are taught:If you are Invited Anointed,then you have endured enough so no further testing is required. You are as good as in Gods kingdom. But this is not the case,as we have seen.

Part of this worst tribulation in History for Invited Anointed is that Christ's Brothers are being Killed within an Organisation claiming Gods backing and which all Anointed are part of. By being “killed”/ Disfellowshipped,they are branded as spiritually dead and must be treated as such by those within the Organisation . Hebrews 13:13 “Let us, then, go to him outside the camp, bearing the disgrace he bore.”

Satan's goal of the false “Great Tribulation” being taught within “"Jehovah's Witnesses"”.

Does the Great Tribulation start IN THE WORLD which climaxes in Armageddon? No. Since when is there any part of satans world that is being “asked a question” about their loyalty to Jah and are being “tortured”/tribulated through various methods to get that answer to THE question? Will they “remain in union with Christ” via Holy Spirit. The world under satan is NOT being asked this question ! Therefore,the world will not be experiencing The Great Tribulation.

This is what Revelation 12:2 explains the Great Tribulation is, AND that this is part of what happens before the Kingdoms Birth. The Great Tribulation is part of the labour pains of the Kingdoms Birth,thus we can call them Great Tribulating Birth Pangs.

Satan wants us to think the Great Tribulation happens in the World that he controls and can manipulate. So through his puppets the Governing Body,there is the constant expectation of when the UN will turn on religion,which is lyingly said to start The Great Tribulation.

But this is a giant ruse designed to keep sleeping Invited Anointed within "Jehovah's Witnesses" in their current spiritual state.

Satan has made it look like the Governing Body is right about prophetic matters,and since he is the god of this world,made WW1 happen just so the Governing Body would seem right about bible prophecy. The World is under his control and has the power to do this. Can we expect that satan will again meddle in mans politics to make it look like his “False Prophet” is right again about prophecy and give power to the UN to attack religion or some part of it to look like part of bible prophecy? He well may. He has done it before in 1914.

But what is his ultimate goal weather he does this or not? To keep Invited Anointed within "Jehovah's Witnesses" asleep spiritually and not realise the Great Tribulation is ABOUT THEM.

That to be “born” into Gods Kingdom ALL Invited Anointed must go through Great Tribulating Birth Pangs and this is “asking a question” of them. Will they be loyal to their calling and be loyal to new truth revealed at this time via Faithful Invited Anointed. Will they remain in Union with Christ via Holy Spirit? Or be corrupted by the Governing Body who are trying to be “another husband” to Invited Anointed. And “Great” because the Harlot with satans backing is also whore-mongering (trying to make Invited Anointed into adulterous Whores) them with the threat of being Disfellowshipped.

One of The biggest contributing factors to The Great Tribulating Birth-Pangs is what Invited Anointed face within the Organisation they are in. satan will use the Governing Body to stop them waking up by constant propaganda about so called fulfilments of Bible prophecy. The purpose of this is to not realise The Great Tribulation applies to them and what they must go through to be part of Gods Kingdom.

ALL Invited Anointed must be go through a Great Tribulation before their Robes of identification are made “white” by removing Lies which they are taught by being "Jehovah's Witnesses" about prophetic and other biblical matters. Whilst they believe these lies,they are in a state of adultery towards Christ, because they are listening to the Governing Body and being taught by them rather than their Husbandly owner,Christ. A terrible but necessary part of The Great Tribulation is to realise that to disagree with the Governing Body about this and other prophetic matters will mean you will be Disfellowshipped. Its already happening to many Invited Anointed around the world.

The meaning of “Great Tribulation” in the original Greek clearly makes plain who this term applies to: Any who are Anointed Invited Anointed,and only them,since they are Invited Anointed to Heaven. Is the UN going to be “born” into Gods Kingdom and so are experiencing “great tribulation”? The UN will be taking NO PART in the Great Tribulation in any way! Do not let yourselves be deceived.

The Great Tribulation has already began within Invited Anointed because to get into the Kingdom of God,you have to be “born” into it...and this requires you first experience “Great Tribulating Birth Pangs”. Invited Anointed are at the forefront of Armageddon which is being fought right now.

With the Great Tribulation already happening,satan's efforts to keep Invited Anointed blind about them needing to go through personal Birth-Pangs is considerable. He doesnt want them to realise that The Great Tribulation is all about Invited Anointed. If they did know this,they would realise just how much they have to do on a personal level to get into Gods Kingdom.

Important point.

At the moment,ALL Invited Anointed within "Jehovah's Witnesses" are under the delusion their Heavenly Hope is secure because they are “Invited Anointed”...it is NOT ! Jesus said: “Many are Invited (Anointed),but few are chosen”

Revelation 7:14 makes it clear,those who have passed through and “come out of” The Great Tribulation have been made white. Without going through that process,your Robes of Identification as Invited will not have been washed and made white and you WILL NOT be part of the Temple,Gods kingdom.

“Few” of the current Invited Anointed within "Jehovah's Witnesses" will be in Gods temple/Gods Kingdom and receive that Hope.

If Invited Anointed realised what the purpose the The Great Tribulation was towards them,they would have to examine where they stand in relation to their covenant and how they are in a state of Idolatry towards the Harlot/Governing Body and the Beast/Organisation the Harlot is sitting on top of. Idolatry is staining their Robes of Identification as Invited Anointed,which MUST be removed. The Great Tribulating Birth-Pangs will remove those stains of Idolatry if Invited Anointed act in Harmony with “the Great Tribulation” and its purpose.

No wonder satan is masking what the real Great Tribulation is about!

A review of some key points.

Revelation 12:1,2

We looked at the Woman who is giving birth to Gods Kingdom. The illustration of the Woman then helped us see why The kingdom members cry out “in Pain” and “Being Tormented” is The Greek word #928. The meanings of those words highlighted that invited Anointed,before entering Heaven, were having their metal tested. Also, the Greek explained that the Birth pangs had the meaning: “To question by applying torture.” Invited Anointed were being asked a question before being “Chosen” and sealed into Gods Kingdom. The Torture of the Birth-Pangs is like going through labour for Invited Anointed.

The Great Tribulation accomplishes it purpose,because it asks an important question.

The accounts of Jesus reply about the “signs” highlight that the Great Tribulation is in the context of birth-pangs. The signs ARE the Birth-pangs leading to the Kingdoms birth. Matt 24:8

The Great Tribulating Birth-Pangs reveal who the “Few” are who receive their Heavenly reward. This means “few” Invited Anointed within "Jehovah's Witnesses" will receive their heavenly reward because of the “torture” coming from the Great Tribulating Birth Pangs.

John 16:21

Here Jesus spoke about a Woman going through birth-Pangs and called the pre birth events as “Tribulation” He was not talking a real woman,but what He and all Invited Anointed must go though before getting into the Kingdom.

Jesus was the first to experience “tribulation” before being qualified to enter Gods kingdom.

WITHOUT THE TRIBULATION OF BIRTH PANGS UPON Invited Anointed,the Birth of Gods Kingdom cannot take place.

Revelation 7:14 explains the singular purpose of the Great Tribulation upon the revealed small group involved.

Those coming “out of the great tribulation” are not Killed during Armageddon,but entered Gods temple as members of it! Those who went through the TGT,had robes that were made white by personal efforts by applying the Ransom benefits.

The results at the end of the “the great tribulation” was not Armageddon.

Not everyone on planet Earth is going through the Great Tribulation,only those who will serve in Gods Temple rendering him sacred service day and night,because they are the temple members. Is that the Great Tribulation we are used to hearing about ? No!

Not everyone in satans world is going to be offered the privilege of being in Gods Temple as members of that Temple. THUS the world in general will not be going through the Great Tribulation.

Why the Tribulation is “Great”.The “tribulation” is “great” in its impact and intensity.

Some of the “Birth-pang Signs” which are the Birth-Pangs/Labour Pains for Invited Anointed.

Earth quakes. Meaning? Earthquake:G4578. “a shaking, a commotion”

One of the biggest quakes facing Invited Anointed is that the Governing Body have been lying to people within the Organisation. One big lie is that Gods Kingdom was Born in 1914. This a shock to know they deliberately lie. That the Invited Anointed also spread this lie themselves is hard to deal with.

The Paul explains in Hebrews 12:27 the main purpose of Earth-quakes within Invited Anointed. To remove those who will choose to be unfaithful.

What causes the most “shaking” are newly revealed truths of Jah that will act like fire within Invited Anointed as a group. This will remove the combustible stubble of unfaithful Invited Anointed.

Food shortages: There is spiritual destitution amongst Invited Anointed because the Governing Body are teaching lies to Invited Anointed,instead of them listening to their husbandly owner. The Governing Body are trying to act an another husband. The say “Dont listen to Christ via Holy Spirit,we are the channel of Holy Spirit”,which is another lie.

Invited Anointed must choose who will be their Husbandly owner. Christ or the Governing Body. If the “remain in union” with Christ via Holy Spirit,they will be fed. If they listen to the Governing Body,they will not be fed by Christ.

Christ via Holy Spirit told them they were Invited Anointed. How else did this happen? So how can there be no special connection via Holy Spirit between Christ and Invited Anointed as the Governing Body say?

Because Invited Anointed listen to these lies,they are in a state of “spiritual destitution”.They are missing out on their spiritual inheritance which comes via Holy Spirit from Christ.

Satan's goal of the false “Great Tribulation” being taught within “"Jehovah's Witnesses"”: So that Invited Anointed dont realise the The Great Tribulation is about them. They must go through Great Tribulating Birth Pangs as part of their personal Birth-Pangs before entering Gods Kingdom. This is not being taught to them via the “other husband”,The Governing Body.

Invited Anointed within "Jehovah's Witnesses" are not being warned: “many are invited,few are chosen” as making it into Gods Kingdom.

The Great Tribulating Birth Pangs proves who is worthy of being part of the “few” who are Chosen.
