Saturday, November 1 There is a day coming, belonging to Jehovah. —Zech. 14:1. What is this day? It is “the Lord’s day,†which began when “the kingdom of the world†became “the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ.†(Rev. 1:10; 11:15) That day started in 1914 with the birth of the Messianic Kingdom in the heavens. Decades before 1914, Jehovah’s worshippers declared to the nations that the end of “the appointed times of the nations†would come in that year and that the world would enter into an unequaled period of trouble. (Luke 21:24) How did the nations respond? Instead of paying heed to that timely warning, political and religious leaders scorned and persecuted those zealous anointed evangelizers. In doing so, these world leaders mocked Almighty God himself, for anointed Kingdom ambassadors represent “heavenly Jerusalemâ€â€”the Messianic Kingdom—of which they are a part. —Heb. 12:22, 28.
We here need to stay close, for one day these ones they speak of as persecuted will bring shame upon Jehovah's name in all the earth and will be shamed... Regardless of the sins and apostasy going on in the temple in the first century, Jesus saw it as the temple of God....
Tis true Josh , since the 1st Century on , the blatant violence in both word and deed, has exactly traced the actions of Israel of Old ...lets see we have the US , France, Australia , the UK , The Netherlands (somewhere up there) and how many other countries ...I call for dinner and a passover at my house ...
Yes, Jehovah truly wants to make Christ's brothers understand that no matter who they think they are, he's the one who calls the shots regarding knowledge and that they're all in the same boat... They're all blind, inept and helpless without Him. Although many people will find it hard to swallow, that's nonetheless reality ! Nobody will ever find reasons to boast !
Hi All: That's all fine and dandy, but what is the day of the Lord and when does it start and end? frank
