Come Out! Reveal Yourselves! - 2005/11/10 04:07
Isaiah 49
bring about the repossessing of the desolated hereditary possessions, 9 to say to the prisoners, ‘Come out!’ to those who are in the darkness, ‘Reveal yourselves!’ By the ways they will pasture, and on all beaten paths their pasturing will be.
It certainly looks like the hereditary possession will soon be desolated. In fact thats what it means by the son of destruction when describing the man of lawlessness.
2 Thessalonians 2
3 Let no one seduce YOU in any manner, because it will not come unless the apostasy comes first and the man of lawlessness gets revealed, the son of destruction.
What is it though, that is now supposed to come?
2Thessalonians 2:1
Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him,
Who is it that will reveal themselves?
Isaiah 49
It has been more than a trivial matter for you to become my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to bring back even the safeguarded ones of Israel
The sons of Jacob.
and so now we are once again discussing the "breaking through"
Micah 2
12 “‘I shall positively gather Jacob, all of you; I shall without fail collect the remaining ones of Israel together. In unity I shall set them, like a flock in the pen, like a drove in the midst of its pasture; they will be noisy with men.’
13 “The one making a breakthrough will certainly come up before them: they will actually break through. And they will pass through a gate, and they will go out by it. And their king will pass through before them, with Jehovah at the head of them.”
In fact the discerning reader should understand that Hebrews 10:25 has a much different application than that made by the WTBTS.
Hebrews 10:25
25 not forsaking the gathering of ourselves together, as some have the custom, but encouraging one another, and all the more so as YOU behold the day drawing near.
This leaves a lot of questions.
Who will be amoung the first to break through and how many will there be?
How can the sons of Jacob be identified?
Can it be expected this will happen immediately or over a period of time?
