God's People in the Babylon the Great

Satan captured those who are religiously inclined into religious organization authorized by the state.

Christ's ministry was done in Satan's animosity and deception.
Even one of his close disciple became a betrayer.

Christ's disciples' ministry also in Satan's animosity and deception.
Satan's operation was very active from the birth of Christian congregation.

Remember the things happened to Ananias and Sapphira.
They lost their own life due to playing false to God.

So I conclude that Jesus' disciples were under the influences of both God's spirit and Satan's spirit from the time that Jesus started his work on the earth.
Satan had free access to any member of Christian congregation from the time of its establishment so as to corrupt them.

As the number of converters increased rapidly, there opened the way for Satan to sow the weeds in the soil of Christian congregation. Because of that, there were the works of the flesh such as division, sect, strife, jealousy, authoritarianism, and the like in the early Christian congregations. Satan was successful in nurturing the seeds of weeds. Then the weeds covered over the wheat in due course.

This was well described by the parable of "Wheat and Weeds."

Before long the weeds sown by Satan became the organized religion by Roman empire in the 4th century.
In this way, Satan immediately set a trap to capture people who put faith in Christ.
The wheat disappeared from sight, being covered over with weeds.

Starting from Roman Catholic Church, Satan created different vessels like Greek Orthodox Church, Anglican Church, other organized church systems supported by the state.
These church systems are Satan's fraudulent products, a part of the Babylon the Great.
These are the Satan's crafty device to hinder people from their salvation.
All humankind have been deceived by it.

From the Roman Catholic Church which was the first false Christianity created by Satan the many protestant Churches including the Watchtower Society, the Mormon Church, and others have been born.
These organized Church system are Satan's trap to catch people with some truth.
What they have in common is all of them are the state registered religious organization with tax exemption and other benefit.

This relationship is well depicted by Re 17:3.

Re 17:3
3 And he carried me away in [the power of the] spirit into a wilderness. And I caught sight of a woman sitting upon a scarlet-colored wild beast that was full of blasphemous names and that had seven heads and ten horns.


Christian congregation is a body of people who accept Christ from the first century to our days.
They are the wheat class, so to speak.
They are not weeds that is false Christian found in the state recognized religious organizations.
These state approved religious organizations are all a part of the Babylon the Great.
Scattered wheat are also found in these religious organizations or corporations.

For this reason, WTS is not God's visible organization from it establishment as other state registered religious corporations starting from Roman Catholic Church.
It is Satan's crafty deception to mislead people by means of people's religious sentiment.
These religious corporations are all parts of the Babylon the Great as non Christian religions such as Buddhism, Hinduism, Shintoism, Muslim, Judaism, and many derivations of these.

Satan was successful to capture people who might become wheat due to their love for the truth into the realm of Christianity prepared in the Babylon the Great.

He has been successful to deceive many into false Christianity.
So that many would say to the returned Christ,

Mt 7:22
22 Many will say to me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in your name, and perform many powerful works in your name?'

The wheat are in the Babylon the Great along with weeds.

YHWH knows these wheat scattered around among weeds, and whoever that fears God and works righteousness in Satan's world.

Both of them will be guided by God to receive due reword for their faith and mercy.

2Ti 2:19
19 For all that, the solid foundation of God stays standing, having this seal: "Lord knows those who belong to him," and: "Let everyone naming the name of Lord renounce unrighteousness."

The history tells us that God's people risked their own life for the truth even though they were in the Babylon the Great. Despite vicious persecutions against dissemination of the truth instigated by Roman Catholic Church, the Bible translations were made and distributed to common people so that everyone has their own copy of the Bible thanks to the efforts made at the risk of life of the truth lovers in the Babylon the Great.

Nonetheless, Satan tried to distort genuine truth by adding or subtracting questionable words into Bible translations.

Nevertheless, many thousand of Bible manuscripts were remaining, thanks to God.
It is possible to eliminate Satan's lie by comparing these remaining Bible manuscripts.

These benefit came to be possible by the sacrifice of God's people in the Babylon the Great.
So, people who have non-hypocritical faith in the Babylon the Great acted as God's people.
These God's people sacrificed their own life for the truth.
They chose to obey God rather than men like Jesus and his apostles.

To such God's people, God calls "Get out of her, my people" prior to the destruction of the Babylon the Great.

It is not a strange idea at all that the God's people in the Babylon the Great.
Recall, the fact that we all are in the Satan's world.
But, Christians are no part of the world in a sense, since no one can get out of the world literally.
So Jesus prayed for his disciples this.

Joh 17:15-16
15 "I request you, not to take them out of the world, but to watch over them because of the wicked one. 16 They are no part of the world, just as I am no part of the world.

However in case of the religious organization, one can cut the ties of it.
So the calling is addressed to the God's people, "Get out of her." (Re 18:4)


Jesus' parable of "Wheat and Weeds" well describes the God people in the Babylon the Great.

Mt 13:24-30, 36-43
24 Another illustration he set before them, saying: "The kingdom of the heavens has become like a man that sowed fine seed in his field. 25 While men were sleeping, his enemy came and oversowed weeds in among the wheat, and left. 26 When the blade sprouted and produced fruit, then the weeds appeared also. 27 So the slaves of the householder came up and said to him, 'Master, did you not sow fine seed in your field? How, then, does it come to have weeds?' 28 He said to them, 'An enemy, a man, did this.' They said to him, 'Do you want us, then, to go out and collect them?' 29 He said, 'No; that by no chance, while collecting the weeds, YOU uproot the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest; and in the harvest season I will tell the reapers, First collect the weeds and bind them in bundles to burn them up, then go to gathering the wheat into my storehouse.'"

36 Then after dismissing the crowds he went into the house. And his disciples came to him and said: "Explain to us the illustration of the weeds in the field." 37 In response he said: "The sower of the fine seed is the Son of man; 38 the field is the world; as for the fine seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; but the weeds are the sons of the wicked one, 39 and the enemy that sowed them is the Devil. The harvest is a conclusion of a system of things, and the reapers are angels. 40 Therefore, just as the weeds are collected and burned with fire, so it will be in the conclusion of the system of things. 41 The Son of man will send forth his angels, and they will collect out from his kingdom all things that cause stumbling and persons who are doing lawlessness, 42 and they will pitch them into the fiery furnace. There is where [their] weeping and the gnashing of [their] teeth will be. 43 At that time the righteous ones will shine as brightly as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Let him that has ears listen.

The wheat are to be among the weeds until the time of the harvest.
The harvest is a conclusion of a system of things, that is a time of judgment.
Prior to the Judgment, there will be calling of "Get out of the Babylon the Great" from God.
God's people that is the wheat, the sons of the kingdom will leave the Babylon the Great, obeying God's calling.
Then after that, the weeds in the Babylon the Great that is false Christian will be collected and burned with fire.
Then, the sons of the kingdom will be harvested not by men, but by angels into heaven.
They will be taken into heaven in the days of Lord as written in Mt 24:39-42.

Mt 24:39-42
39 and they took no note until the flood came and swept them all away, so the coming of the Son of man will be. 40 Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken along and the other be abandoned; 41 two women will be grinding at the hand mill: one will be taken along and the other be abandoned. 42 Keep on the watch, therefore, because YOU do not know on what day YOUR Lord is coming.

Therefore, there is no such a God's visible organization until the day of Judgment.
Existence of such God's visible organization contradicted with human history and the Bible.
God ceased having such a visible organization when he destroyed the temple in Jerusalem in 70 AD.
Such illusion of the visible organization of only true God is Satan's lie.
People possessed with such illusion are deceived by Satan.

God no longer use earthly organization since Jesus had established Heavenly Kingdom.

Mt 23:38
38 Look! YOUR house is abandoned to YOU.
(From that time onward, God doesn't have his visible earthly organization.)

Joh 4:21
21 Jesus said to her: "Believe me, woman, The hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will YOU people worship the Father.
(Mountain and Jerusalem like earthly visible organization or religious arrangement is no longer necessary. )

Php 3:18-20
18 For there are many, I used to mention them often but now I mention them also with weeping, who are walking as the enemies of the torture stake of the Christ, 19 and their finish is destruction, and their god is their belly, and their glory consists in their shame, and they have their minds upon things on the earth. 20 As for us, our citizenship exists in the heavens, from which place also we are eagerly waiting for a savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
(Christian's organization is in heaven already, not on the earth, we are eagerly waiting for joining in the heavenly assembly.)

Joh 18:36
36 Jesus answered: "My kingdom is no part of this world.
(The corporation is a part of this world and the arrangement or product of this world.)

Col 3:2
2 Keep YOUR minds fixed on the things above, not on the things upon the earth.

The things above

Heb 11:9-10
9 By faith he resided as an alien in the land of the promise as in a foreign land, and dwelt in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the very same promise. 10 For he was awaiting the city having real foundations, the builder and maker of which [city] is God.
(Like Abraham, Christians are also tent dweller not possessing huge real estate around the world. We have a heavenly arrangement and inheritance.)

Heb 12:22-24
22 But YOU have approached a Mount Zion and a city of [the] living God, heavenly Jerusalem, and myriads of angels, 23 in general assembly, and the congregation of the firstborn who have been enrolled in the heavens, and God the Judge of all, and the spiritual lives of righteous ones who have been made perfect, 24 and Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and the blood of sprinkling, which speaks in a better way than Abel's [blood].
(Christians have to focus on the heavenly Jerusalem, myriads of angels, in general assembly, congregation of the firstborn, the spiritual lives of righteous ones, not building facilities like Branch Offices, Assembly Halls, Kingdom Halls for gathering the earthly class as WTS is doing. The sons of kingdom are registered in heaven, not in earthly religious organization like the WTS. Christians are not members of religious organization on earth.)

Heb 13:10-16
10 We have an altar from which those who do sacred service at the tent have no authority to eat. 11 For the bodies of those animals whose blood is taken into the holy place by the high priest for sin are burned up outside the camp. 12 Hence Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered outside the gate. 13 Let us, then, go forth to him outside the camp, bearing the reproach he bore, 14 for we do not have here a city that continues, but we are earnestly seeking the one to come. 15 Through him let us always offer to God a sacrifice of praise, that is, the fruit of lips which make public declaration to his name. 16 Moreover, do not forget the doing of good and the sharing of things with others, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
(Christian's main concern is preaching the heavenly calling, and showing mercy toward others, not expanding earthly organization, nor expecting to inherit the things on the earth.)

Storing up treasures in heaven

Mt 6:19-21
19 "Stop storing up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 Rather, store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
(WTS possesses earthly assets which need to be taken care of, and they are selling those assets at the highest price for gaining further profits, their heart and mind seem to be occupied with the treasures upon the earth.)

Mt 19:21
21 Jesus said to him: "If you want to be perfect, go sell your belongings and give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven, and come be my follower."
(I'm wandering if the WTS can follow the above Jesus' instruction as a organization claiming his.)

Mr 10:21
21 Jesus looked upon him and felt love for him and said to him: "One thing is missing about you: Go, sell what things you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven, and come be my follower."
(It seems to be impossible for the WTS to sell what things they have and give to the poor.)

Lu 12:32-34
32 "Have no fear, little flock, because YOUR Father has approved of giving YOU the kingdom. 33 Sell the things belonging to YOU and give gifts of mercy. Make purses for yourselves that do not wear out, a never-failing treasure in the heavens, where a thief does not get near nor moth consumes. 34 For where YOUR treasure is, there YOUR hearts will be also.
(The mind of the sons of the kingdom is to give gifts of mercy with what they have materially.)

Correcting found in the form of voluntary donation from others to accomplish the corporation's plan is not storing up treasure in heaven, it is rather accumulating wealth on the earth for their own benefit or interest not that of poor.

Storing up treasure in heave means to use our won wealth for needy ones' necessities.
It is discreet to use our money to give gifts of mercy directly to those who are in need whom we know, not giving it to a corporation so that they decide how to use our gifts of mercy.

If you heavily involved in the business affair on the earth like corporation management, the word of the kingdom will be like the one sown among the thorns.

Mt 11:22
22 As for the one sown among the thorns, this is the one hearing the word, but the anxiety of this system of things and the deceptive power of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.
(WTS lapsed into this trap)

Owners of the huge religious corporation like WTS are rich materially.
But their earthly assets are just an illusion, not a sign of God's approval.
These are the treasures stored on the earth for future destruction.

Lu 12:20
20 But God said to him, 'Unreasonable one, this night they are demanding your soul from you. Who, then, is to have the things you stored up?'

Jas 5:3-6
2 YOUR riches have rotted, and YOUR outer garments have become moth-eaten. 3 YOUR gold and silver are rusted away, and their rust will be as a witness against YOU and will eat YOUR fleshy parts. Something like fire is what YOU have stored up in the last days. 4 Look! The wages due the workers who harvested YOUR fields but which are held up by YOU, keep crying out, and the calls for help on the part of the reapers have entered into the ears of YHWH of armies. 5 YOU have lived in luxury upon the earth and have gone in for sensual pleasure. YOU have fattened YOUR hearts on the day of slaughter. 6 YOU have condemned, YOU have murdered the righteous one. Is he not opposing YOU?

WTS held up due wages from their voluntary workers.
The high echelons of the WTS have luxurious life in the Bethel.
They are boasting that they are the faithful discreet slave whom the master entrusted all his belongings already. They spiritually murdered many true sons of the kingdom by disfellowshipping them.

2Pe 3:7, 10
7 But by the same word the heavens and the earth that are now are stored up for fire and are being reserved to the day of judgment and of destruction of the ungodly men.

10 Yet the Day of the Lord will come as a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a hissing noise, but the elements being intensely hot will be dissolved, and earth and the works in it will be discovered.

We will see the reality of the WTS as a part of the Babylon the Great at the time of our Lord's return when the earth and the works in it are to be discovered.

So I conclude that the corporation's wealth on the earth can't be a proof of God's blessing and of being used by God as His visible organization even if it is so impressive. No one can claim that we only are the God organization because of physical prosperity. All these material assets will be dissolved as the elements of the world by means of the heat of the Day of the Lord.

The ridiculous claim that the wheat is JW collected by the preaching work of the WTS lacks biblical basis. The same can be applied to other religious gropes. WTS is nothing but a Satan's vessel to deceive people like other religious organizations. All of them are claiming that they are the only true God's organization or church.
This declaration is the Satan's deception to capture sheep like ones into a part of the Babylon the Great.

The deceived ones have obsessed with an idea that they belong to the God's only organization or church. It is unthinkable for such indoctrinated ones that they are actually in the Babylon the Great, and they always view their organization or church to which they belong as something exceptional.

God knows those who belong to him.

God will skillfully lead His people, wheat, the sons of the kingdom out of the Babylon the Great.

2Ti 2:19
19 For all that, the solid foundation of God stays standing, having this seal: "Lord knows those who belong to him," and: "Let everyone naming the name of Lord renounce unrighteousness."

Then, the sons of the kingdom who got out of the Babylon the Great responding to God's calling will be harvested by the angles at the day of Christ's return.

Mr 13:24-27
24 "But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, 25 and the stars will be falling out of heaven, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken. 26 And then they will see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory. 27 And then he will send forth the angels and will gather his chosen ones together from the four winds, from earth's extremity to heaven's extremity.

Survivors of the Armageddon

Not all sheep like righteous ones leave the Babylon the Great.
These sheep like people remain in the Babylon the Great are not the sons of the kingdom, wheat, because all the sons of the kingdom will leave the Babylon the Great obeying the God's calling "Get out of her My people."

All the sheep like righteous ones in and out of the Babylon the Great, and even merciful atheist, and anyone who is merciful, will be shown mercy so that they will come out of the Great tribulation to inherit the land.

They are not the sons of the kingdom.
They won't be harvested by angles into heaven.
Anybody is merciful and righteous, whether believing in God or not, will be survived the great tribulation. Then after that, they will learn the savior of their life.

Re 7:14
14 . . . "These are the ones that come out of the Great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Mt 5:7
7 "Happy are the merciful, since they will be shown mercy.

1Ti 2:4
4 whose will is that all sorts of men should be saved and come to an accurate knowledge of truth.

They are the Armageddon survivors.

As to the sons of the kingdom

Mt 13:43
43 At that time the righteous ones will shine as brightly as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Let him that has ears listen.

YHWH God, Christ Jesus and angels are spirit being like sun light, high energy being.
Sons of the kingdom who are taken into heaven will be like them.

Php 3:20-21
20 As for us, our citizenship exists in the heavens, from which place also we are eagerly waiting for a savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 who will refashion our humiliated body to be conformed to his glorious body according to the operation of the power that he has, even to subject all things to himself.

We will be like our Lord who dwells in unapproachable light. (1Ti 6:16)

1Co 15:42-44, 48-49
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised up in incorruption. 43 It is sown in dishonor, it is raised up in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised up in power. 44 It is sown a physical body, it is raised up a spiritual body.

48 As the one made of dust [is], so those made of dust [are] also; and as the heavenly one [is], so those who are heavenly [are] also. 49 And just as we have borne the image of the one made of dust, we shall bear also the image of the heavenly one.

Col 3:1-4
1 If, however, YOU were raised up with the Christ, go on seeking the things above, where the Christ is seated at the right hand of God. 2 Keep YOUR minds fixed on the things above, not on the things upon the earth. 3 For YOU died, and YOUR life has been hidden with the Christ in union with God. 4 When the Christ, our life, is made manifest, then YOU also will be made manifest with him in glory.
