"...they will have to know that I am Jehovah when I bring my vengeance on them." (Ezekiel 25:17)
Soon, all the inhabitants of the earth will have to know God's Name Jehovah. "I will not allow my holy name to be profaned any longer; and the nations will have to know that I am Jehovah" (Ezekiel 39:7)
The refinement periods of 40 years are a repeated pattern throughout the scriptures that are often applied to God's People. The 40 year pattern thrice (1935-1975-2015) can be applied to Jehovah's Organization! It's during this period that specific and overlapping refinement periods can be applied. Jehovah is a God of order and not one of chaos. (1 Corinthians 14:33) As Jehovah's Witnesses, we have been experiencing thrilling blessings of deeper understandings of Jehovah's Word through our Wonderful Governing Body! These ones are poised for their Heavenly Reward when Jesus summons them! Truly a Momentous time...
There are many refinement periods, but I will speak of the ones about the anointed and great crowd that will be ushered into Christ Millennial Reign. In 1919, the faithful and discreet slave of anointed ones were chosen to take the lead of God's People upon the earth and bring a Public Announcement of Denunciation upon Babylon The Great. That time period for this can easily be obtained by applying the three 40 year periods. (1919 + 120 =2039) We know the anointed do not live on earth indefinitely, each anointed person must finish their earthly course successfully to realize their heavenly reward. Today, we know that Babylon the Great is on borrowed time, she has been on fire and burning since 1919. Each year that gets closer to 2039, we SEE the nations growing agitated with her as she cannot bring prosperity and peace to the Earthly Kings. Rather, she has embezzled luxury and riches from her suitor. It's not likely she will survive 2039 but come to her end, never to be found again.
(First 40 year refinement 1935) "The year 1935 marked a dramatic change that affected future Memorial observances, for the meaning of the “great multitude” (KJ), or “great crowd,” of Revelation 7:9 was clarified. Until then, Jehovah’s servants had viewed this group as consecrated Christians who were less zealous. Now this vast throng was identified as faithful worshippers who hope to live on a paradise earth. Following this clarification and after some careful self-examination, Russell Poggensee acknowledged: “The heavenly hope had not been awakened within me by Jehovah through his holy spirit.” Brother Poggensee—and many loyal ones like him—stopped partaking of the emblems but continued to attend the Memorial."
(Second 40 year refinement 1975) The book Life Everlasting—In Freedom of the Sons of God, released at a series of district conventions held in 1966, pointed to 1975. Right at the convention, as the brothers examined the contents, the new book triggered much discussion about 1975.
At the convention held in Baltimore, Maryland, F. W. Franz gave the concluding talk. He began by saying: “Just before I got on the platform a young man came to me and said, ‘Say, what does this 1975 mean?’” Brother Franz then referred to the many questions that had arisen as to whether the material in the new book meant that by 1975 Armageddon would be finished, and Satan would be bound. He stated, in essence:
- ‘It could. But we are not saying. All things are possible with God. But we are not saying. And don’t any of you be specific in saying anything that is going to happen between now and 1975. But the big point of it all is this, dear friends: Time is short. Time is running out, no question about that.’
The third and final 40 year refinement period began in 2015 with a plethora of understanding to the regards of the overlapping generation about 'this generation'. In the early weeks of January, 2015, at one of our midweek meetings and unannounced to the world. A Brother quietly and calmly walked up to the podium and stated, "New partakers that start partaking are not part of 'this generation'. With that 10 second announcement my eyebrows raised and thinking to myself that those anointed sometime after 1992 or 1995 are not contemporaries of those alive whom saw Christ Presence take place in 1914. Then for clarification, Brother David H. Splane gave the explanation in the video titled, "Close to the End of This System of Things".
Within this point on between the years (2030-2034), we can start emphasizing these two scriptures in this manner as we start to end New Bible Studies from our wicked audience at (2 Timothy 3:1-5) Why? They will have been abandoned. "... there was silence in heaven for about half an hour" (Rev 8:1) Half an hour in Heaven's time represents about 21 years on earth for the sifting of righteous ones (Great Crowd) 2034-2055
- "... and then the end will come." (Matthew 24:14)
- "... and from these turn away. " (2 Timothy 3:5)
Why? The last refinement phase began in 2015 and is 40 years in length whether you want to believe it or not as we approach Christ Millennial Reign. To add credence to the final hour in 2015, the United Nations announced their 2030 Agenda in 2015. Walk by Faith and not by Sight..... be faithful to Jehovah to your End and you will be without End.
