The removal of the constant feature

[Back to True Worship]

Jesus arrival was anticipated for a very long time.
He was to be the final "Lamb" to be sacrificed.
Animal sacrifice was a constant feature of worship for a couple thousand years.
It was the heart and core of that worship.
Jesus' death removed the need for that constant feature.

Do you really think that Daniel would refer to the door-to-door preaching work that wouldn't take place for a couple thousand years after he wrote that, and would only last a few decades, as a "constant feature"?
The "preaching work" is a tiny blip in all of human history's worship if Jehovah.
I don't think it qualifies as a "constant" feature.
Do you think it does?

the foot note to the constant feature is the continual sacrifice and in Israel the continual sacrifices were offered daily once in the morning and again in the evening....similarly the preaching work Paul said was a sacrifice of praise...and they are offered night and day...so it is reasonable to assume this is not referring to the sacrifice of Jesus Christ that will never cease until the end of the thousand years.

Read the prophecy of Joel. Then read this. The removal of the constant feature is EVERYTHING associated with Christ's congregation.

While this is very true , the foundation of the Christian way of worship entails every aspect of our lives , the preaching work is seen as the very definition of a christian as well..Letting our light shine and doing so thru favourable season and troublesome season....these defined true christians as such , even supporting all other claims of christianity...it was the very reason Jesus said we would be hated ...for like his ministry ours is one that condemns the world.

Very interesting thoughts everyone. My suspicion is that if it isn’t very apparent yet then it probably hasn’t happened yet. I guess a better question to ask would be how do we know when the apostasy has come? Since, it has to come first before anything. Obviously there are signs, and have been for a long time, of apostasy within the leadership of the WT. But how will we know for certain that it is a total apostasy?

Because only a little leaven makes the whole dough rise Gal 5:9

yes it surely is coming and while it is obvious to many of us that this has indeed occurred , it will be so pronounced that the rest of the witnesses will suddenly be in complete shock , others will still deny it , until as the prophesy says " the man of lawlessness " is revealed. So blatant will their actions be of outright apostasy and thus Identifying them as such...there will be no excuse , no seeming deception , it will be so obvious and will show the hearts of all.
Decision time ....Jehovah and Jesus or the GB

When we see them drop, that's the signal. And that will happen during the reign of the 8th king and after the GT, right?

I suspect that will be part of what will happen only for the fact that the W/T is still being used by Jehovah and Jesus at present? ( Not sure ) But a definite marker that should be obvious is the fall of the Anglo/American world power? However that will happen after Satan has been kicked out of heaven? Whether the W/T bites the dust before Jesus comes into his Kingdom or a while after, I have no clue? But I suspect the WT's demise is before the GT? I suspect there will be no preaching of the good news of the Kingdom, when the GT hits?
