The "Good News" - How will it be preached? - 2005/10/15 08:40
THE “GOOD NEWS” – HOW WILL IT BE PREACHED?
(Acts 1:8) but YOU will receive power when the holy spirit arrives upon YOU, and YOU will be witnesses of me both in Jerusalem and in all Ju·de´a and Sa·mar´i·a and to the most distant part of the earth.
As you may have noticed, the above bible text is very similar to the explicit yet familiar instructions Jesus left his disciples found at Matthew 24:14 about preaching the "good news" to all nations. That being the case then, we would have to say, yes, this verse, Acts 1:8 has great meaning for us today...a grand prophecy to be fulfilled in our day and time. Of course at this point, Jehovah's witnesses will vigorously, yes strenuously argue that they, as a nation and international people have indeed fulfilled this prophecy today of preaching the "good news" message worldwide. But, have they…really?
Well, just as Jesus said above in Acts 1:8, this message would and should go to the “most distant part of the earth.” Did he not say this? Well ask yourself: Aren't there still lands, many lands in fact, where there are millions, yes billions of people who have not heard the Jehovah’s witness special brand of the “good news,” a “good news” that features the dubious, questionable date of 1914…isn’t this true? This is clearly the case since the Watchtower Society says their preaching of a "1914-good news" message is quite different from all other messages of the so-called “good news” being preached today by religions of this world. Please consider the following:
“Let the honest-hearted person compare the kind of preaching of the gospel of the Kingdom done by the religious systems of Christendom during all the centuries with that done by Jehovah’s Witnesses since the end of World War I in 1918. They are not one and the same kind. That of Jehovah’s Witnesses is really “gospel,” or “good news,” as of God’s heavenly kingdom that was established by the enthronement of his Son Jesus Christ at the end of the Gentile Times in 1914. (Luke 21:24)…” – See article w81 5/1 p. 17 If God Has an Organization, What Is It?
So then we can see, the actual “good news” message of Jehovah’s witnesses, clearly shown above by the WTS themselves, also INCLUDES yes, the pivotal date-teaching of 1914…isn’t that so? Isn’t that what the Watchtower Society said above in their publications? Yes, that is true.
Therefore, since this is the case and the “good news” message of the Jehovah’s witnesses is ANCHORED IN CONCRETE with the date of 1914, then we must ask this all-important question: Why has not the 1914 “Good News” Message of the Jehovah’s witnesses…yes why has it NOT been preached to, each and every person living on the face of the earth today? Yes, why?
Isn’t it true, the 1914 “good news” message as declared by Jehovah's witnesses, has NOT covered the globe thus far? Why no, it has not. Actually, the facts reveal the vast majority of this earth, over a 2/3 portion to date, have NOT been preached to by the organization called Jehovah's witnesses, with their special 1914 “good news” message, isn't that so? Yes, we are referring to Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist lands and so many other religions of the world, and many, many other lands of this earth that do not know anything about the 1914 “Good News” Message of Jehovah’s witnesses. And of course, if the teaching of 1914 is correct, wouldn’t this mean the Glorious "Good News" Message from God which includes that most important date, this message of hope for all mankind, still has not made it to the people in mass yet. Still, these billions of people have not heard about the fabulous teaching of 1914, which is a most vital part of the kingdom message from Jesus, as promised at Matthew 24:14, according to Jehovah’s witnesses. Isn’t that true? Surely Almighty God’s Hand is not “short” in such an important matter as seeing to it that the proper “good news” message gets to go to everyone on earth, right? Surely, if Jehovah God wanted the 1914 “Good News” Message of Jehovah’s witnesses to go every man, woman and child on earth…surely He could do this, couldn’t He?
Well, it is quite apparent today as many sincere Jehovah’s witnesses are finding out by diligent bible study and research, as of the year of 2005, that the 1914 “Good News” message of Jehovah’s witnesses at this late date, no, will NOT be sponsored by Jehovah God, so that it will actually go out to the “most distant land and island” as Jesus promised. (Acts 1:8) And no because they have discovered to their horror, yes, the date teaching of 1914…is a complete fabrication, a ruse or “artfully contrived false story,” from the Watchtower Society… yes, the kind of “false story” the inspired Peter warned all first century Christians against teaching. (2 Peter 1:16) So then if you happen to be one of those newly enlightened Jehovah’s witnesses, then at this point, you may be saying,
“So, if the teaching of 1914 is a false doctrine, which makes the “good news” message of Jehovah witnesses a complete FALSE DOCTRINE itself, a wicked “commandment of men” and not of God when examined, then just how then will these individuals, these many billions of people, yes, get a chance to learn about the glorious message of hope, the true “Good News” Message from our God and our Grand Creator Himself? Will Satan succeed in stopping this Sacred Message from reaching the “most distant part of the earth,” as Jesus promised? – Matthew 15:9; Acts 1:8"
Well no, Satan will not succeed in this dastardly endeavor. No, he will not. Instead, Isaiah 66:18, 19 shows us that Jehovah will present a miraculous “sign” and plant this special “sign” among His Name people. After this, God's People, the humble among them, will collect together to tell others (with of course help from God's Heavenly Angels), yes to the most distant land and island, about this glorious happening, that Jehovah Himself has done. Indeed, this special “sign” will be used to gather a great, great army of believers, yes to the tune of 200 million themselves...all individuals of faith. (Romans 4:16; Revelation 9:16-19) And after gathering this large group of believers, Jehovah would next set up a grand teaching program, to educate these ones to make them very effective teachers, priests before Him. After which, the 200 Million Army of Faith, will in turn, begin to teach all mankind the “good news” message. (Incidentally, 200 million believers makes for roughly a 30-to-1 ratio compared to 6 billion people on earth.) Thus, the 200 Million will become the life-sustaining “Trees of Life” spoken of in bible prophecy, which ultimately feeds and provides nourishment for all mankind forevermore. (Ezekiel 47:12; Revelation 22:1, 2) Yes, according to Isaiah 5:26 and Isaiah 60:20, it is Jehovah Himself that will have success in quickly gathering the 200 Million Army of Faith, God-Selected individuals of faith which is the key building-block of a disciple, using His speedy “slaves” the heavenly angels. (Matthew 22:8-10; Hebrews 11:6) Once formed, yes, this special apparatus, the 200 Million Army of Faith itself, will be the principle tool that God uses to get the all-important preaching work done worldwide, the work of spreading the “good news” ... seeing to it that this most important message, actually reaches each and every individual upon earth today, as a “witness to all the nations,” just as Jesus promised. – Matthew 24:14; Mark 13:10
