Not at all Bill.
I’m just looking at what the future holds for us and some here think Jehovah is going to hide the faithful in some kind of sanctuary or refuge during the day of distress.
Jesus did say we will all be tested fully so I have a problem with the rainbows and unicorns outlook many have.
I think we will all be tested to the last draw of our breath.
The first century apostles were so what makes us so special?
It sounds like you've swallowed a black pill by accident my Brother. You've got me worried TBH.
Rev7:9 "Look! a great crowd, which no man was able to number, . . . standing before the throne and before the Lamb."
Imagine that; which no man was able to number. That sounds like a lot to me. Probably in the hundreds of millions, at least. Since there are only about 8 million JWs on the earth that indicates to me a vast mixed company that will come out of the world. Not unlike the Israelites leaving Egypt with a vast mixed company.
Of course, if you are of the anointed this would not apply to you. But then again, if you're one of the anointed, you'll be one of the only ones in history that will die and then return to kick the ass of the ones that murdered you.
But, there are never any guarantees of course, even for the great crowd..
Zeph 2:3 "Seek Jehovah, all you meek ones of the earth,Who observe his righteous decrees. Seek righteousness, seek meekness. Probably you will be concealed on the day of Jehovah’s anger."
If I say I'm
probably coming over to your house for a beer at 5PM...you can bet I'll be there unless I get in an accident or run into a carload of NWO clowns looking to vaxx me.
Since this promise is coming from Jah, you can bet on it. No carload of clowns will stop him. The problem is that you may do something that will put yourself in harms way. That's what the probably means, IMO, it hangs on you and what you do, not on some whim of Jehovah. At least, if you do make a mistake and forfeit your life, Jah will resurrect you into a beautiful new world.
And lastly but not leastly...
Luke 12:6-7
"Five sparrows sell for two coins of small value, do they not? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. 7 But even the hairs of your head are all numbered.
Have no fear; you are worth more than many sparrows."
Jehovah is watching you constantly...but not in a creepy Bill Gates way...
He knows what you can endure, your weak points and your fears. Have faith and stick to his instructions and you'll be fine.
I'm not a man that Jehovah would necessarily listen to but I pray for this group all the time. There are some genuinely good Brother and Sisters in this forum, including yourself. May Jehovah bless us all to make it through this current madness and see his promised new world.
