The work of the kingdom witnessing
Hi all,I'm writing about the witnessing work that is to be carried out by the sons of the kingdom.
How that witnessing work would be done?
By the "house to house" ministry like the WTS?
The WTS's fake kingdom witnessing
The WTS has stressed the "door to door" ministry from the time of J.F. Rutherford. It has become JW's trade mark for nearly 100 years.Their "door to door" ministry contributes the expansion of their organization, but it can't catch up with the rapid growth of world population and then people who don't receive the witnessing of the kingdom are increasing in number year by year.
In short, the "door to door" ministry of the WTS is not the one prophesied by the Bible. It is something else, not the kingdom witnessing intended by God, but a sales person like recruiting campaign for the WTS.
Let's examine the true kingdom witnessing work, then.
Christ clearly told that the day and hour nobody knows.
So, first you should notice the ridiculousness of preaching what nobody knows for around 100 years under pretense of the good news of the kingdom.
What will happen in the near future
In what circumstances does the Bible show the good news of the kingdom would be preached?It would be carried out under the state inflicted persecution. It would be done when the wild beast worship is imposed upon everybody in the world.
No one can escape from the effect of the wild beast worship which is the finale global project of Satan to achieve his self-worship.
Who, then, would decisively reject the worship of the wild beast?
The sons of the kingdom will do so.
As a result, they will be persecuted by all as their master was.
At that time, they too will be brought before the kings and rulers, as Jesus and early Christians were.
It is the time for them to give a witness to the world.
They will faithfully promote YHWH's worship and will proclaim Christ's coming with kingly power to destroy the wild beast worship.
Their witnessing will be broadcasting world wide immediately by means of modern day news media and communication network.
Everybody in the world will face up to the issue of worship, in this manner. No one can miss out on hearing the kingdom good news announced by the sons of the kingdom around the world.
The entire world will be forced to make decision over the issue of worship.
The choices are either Satan's wild beast worship or the worship of the creator of heavens and earth and everything in them.
The good news of the kingdom is the proclamation that the Satan's world is about to end by Christ's return with kingly power and with mighty angles. It will be announced in front of the kings and rulers of the world, by the sons of the kingdom, simultaneously every nation in the world will hear the good news of the kingdom in a short period of time maybe for 42 months like the duration of Jesus' earthly ministry.
Then, the end will come.
The century-long false kingdom witnessing of the WTS
On the contrary, for 100 years the WTS has been preaching "1914" as the year of Christ's invisible return.They explain how to reach the 1914 by their distinctive prophetic calculation.
But such a prophetic chronological calculation and parallelism are not for the Christian, but for the occultism believing in Jewish mysticism deep rooted to the Kabbalah.
Right from the start such a prophetic calculation using the Bible is not the kingdom good news that is to be preached around the world.
JW have been conditioned to approach the Bible with prophetic calculation along with parallelism due to the occultism of the WTS.
Such an approach to the Bible will bring you nowhere. It is a waste of time to speculate on what has not yet been revealed.
Contemplate on things understandable and whatever we ought to understand as approved Christian. In other words, only consider whatever can be backed up by the Bible.
The kingdom witnessing work by the sons of the kingdom is the witnessing before the kings and rulers under the persecution due to Satan's wild beast worship. It will be done world wide in a short period of time just before Christ's return.
In the progression of the wild beast worship, all the nations will be given the witness of Christ's return with angelic armies to destroy Satan's wild beast.
Then, the end will come.

Wild beast worship
Re 13:1-181 And it stood still upon the sand of the sea. And I saw a wild beast ascending out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, and upon its horns ten diadems, but upon its heads blasphemous names. 2 Now the wild beast that I saw was like a leopard, but its feet were as those of a bear, and its mouth was as a lion's mouth. And the dragon gave to [the beast] its power and its throne and great authority.
3 And I saw one of its heads as though slaughtered to death, but its death-stroke got healed, and all the earth followed the wild beast with admiration. 4 And they worshiped the dragon because it gave the authority to the wild beast, and they worshiped the wild beast with the words: "Who is like the wild beast, and who can do battle with it?" 5 And a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies was given it, and authority to act forty-two months was given it. 6 And it opened its mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name and his residence, even those residing in heaven. 7 And there was granted it to wage war with the holy ones and conquer them, and authority was given it over every tribe and people and tongue and nation. 8 And all those who dwell on the earth will worship it; the name of not one of them stands written in the scroll of life of the Lamb who was slaughtered, from the founding of the world.
9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear. 10 If anyone [is meant] for captivity, he goes away into captivity. If anyone will kill with the sword, he must be killed with the sword. Here is where it means the endurance and faith of the holy ones.
11 And I saw another wild beast ascending out of the earth, and it had two horns like a lamb, but it began speaking as a dragon. 12 And it exercises all the authority of the first wild beast in its sight. And it makes the earth and those who dwell in it worship the first wild beast, whose death-stroke got healed. 13 And it performs great signs, so that it should even make fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the sight of mankind.
14 And it misleads those who dwell on the earth, because of the signs that were granted it to perform in the sight of the wild beast, while it tells those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the wild beast that had the sword-stroke and yet revived. 15 And there was granted it to give breath to the image of the wild beast, so that the image of the wild beast should both speak and cause to be killed all those who would not in any way worship the image of the wild beast.
16 And it puts under compulsion all persons, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the slaves, that they should give these a mark in their right hand or upon their forehead, 17 and that nobody might be able to buy or sell except a person having the mark, the name of the wild beast or the number of its name. 18 Here is where wisdom comes in: Let the one that has intelligence calculate the number of the wild beast, for it is a man's number; and its number is six hundred and sixty-six.
Re 12:11
11 And they conquered him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their witnessing, and they did not love their souls even in the face of death.
Re 14:9-10, 12
9 And another angel, a third, followed them, saying in a loud voice: "If anyone worships the wild beast and its image, and receives a mark on his forehead or upon his hand, 10 he will also drink of the wine of the anger of God that is poured out undiluted into the cup of his wrath, and he shall be tormented with fire and sulphur in the sight of the holy angels and in the sight of the Lamb. 12 Here is where it means endurance for the holy ones, those who observe the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus."
What we can note here is, the wild beast worship will be enforced on all the nations, nobody can escape from it. This will be the time of persecution against the sons of the kingdom.
Under such a enmity of the enraged Satan who knows his time is almost up, the kingdom witnessing by the sons of the kingdom will be carried out.
Christ's teaching about kingdom witnessing
Next, read what Christ says about the kingdom witnessing.Mt 10:16-23
16 "Look! I am sending YOU forth as sheep amidst wolves; therefore prove yourselves cautious as serpents and yet innocent as doves. 17 Be on YOUR guard against men; for they will deliver YOU up to local courts, and they will scourge YOU in their synagogues. 18 Why, YOU will be haled before governors and kings for my sake, for a witness to them and the nations. 19 However, when they deliver YOU up, do not become anxious about how or what YOU are to speak; for what YOU are to speak will be given YOU in that hour; 20 for the ones speaking are not just YOU, but it is the spirit of YOUR Father that speaks by YOU. 21 Further, brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child, and children will rise up against parents and will have them put to death. 22 And YOU will be objects of hatred by all people on account of my name; but he that has endured to the end is the one that will be saved. 23 When they persecute YOU in one city, flee to another; for truly I say to YOU, YOU will by no means complete the circuit of the cities of Israel until the Son of man arrives.
Mt 24:9-14
9 "Then people will deliver YOU up to tribulation and will kill YOU, and YOU will be objects of hatred by all the nations on account of my name. 10 Then, also, many will be stumbled and will betray one another and will hate one another. 11 And many false prophets will arise and mislead many; 12 and because of the increasing of lawlessness the love of the greater number will cool off. 13 But he that has endured to the end is the one that will be saved. 14 And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.
Notice the following points,
The sons of the kingdom will be objects of hatred by all the nations.
They will give witness in front of kings and rulers, and simultaneously it will be the witness to all the nations.
This will occur when the wild beast worship is imposed upon the world.
So, the WTS' "door to door" preaching work carried on for 100 years is not the kingdom witnessing prophesied by the Bible, even though they are claiming so.
The preparation of the kingdom witnessing is not necessary as Jesus says, although the WTS proudly says that the theocratic ministry school (TMS) is providing necessary training for the kingdom proclaimers.
The WTS is making JW into top salesmen for their organization by the TMS that is a sales seminar. The WTS is a business religion, not the congregation of the sons of the kingdom.
Jesus teaches that "do not become anxious about how or what YOU are to speak."
As to the "house to house" witnessing, refer to
In Search Of Christian Freedom by Ray Franz Chap 7
The "Lord's Day"
At present, there is no global persecution against the sons of the kingdom yet. No JW has yet stood before the kings and rulers of the world for the witnessing of the Kingdom.That implies that Satan and demons are still in the heavens, not yet being hurled down to the earth. When that happens, it will be woe for the earth. Then, the effects of the event will become unmistakable signs of the Last Day.
It is prophesied that the one forth of the earth's population will be killed by a great war, a great famine, and pestilences.
The sign is so obvious that no one need any prophetic interpretation of what is going on. At the same time, the persecution against the sons of the kingdom will start, as it is foretold that the dragon and the wild beast will go forth to wage war with the sons of the kingdom.
Those things have not occurred yet in human history.
Once these things start to happen, the battle field will shift from heavenly places to here on earth. The sons of the kingdom will be a target of the global persecution triggered by the wild beast worship, so that they should stand before the kings and rulers of the world for the witnessing of the upcoming Christ's return.
They will give the same witness as their Lord did in the first century.
Mt 26:64
64 Jesus said to him: "You yourself said [it]. Yet I say to YOU men, From henceforth YOU will see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power and coming on the clouds of heaven."
The battle filed of the sons of the kingdom
Eph 6:1212 because we have a wrestling, not against blood and flesh, but against the governments, against the authorities, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the wicked spirit forces in the heavenly places.
Re 12:7-9, 12, 17
7 And war broke out in heaven: Mi′cha·el and his angels battled with the dragon, and the dragon and its angels battled 8 but it did not prevail, neither was a place found for them any longer in heaven. 9 So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth; he was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him.
12 On this account be glad, YOU heavens and YOU who reside in them! Woe for the earth and for the sea, because the Devil has come down to YOU, having great anger, knowing he has a short period of time."
17 And the dragon grew wrathful at the woman, and went off to wage war with the remaining ones of her seed, who observe the commandments of God and have the work of bearing witness to Jesus.
Re 6:8
8 And I saw, and, look! a pale horse; and the one seated upon it had the name Death. And Ha′des was closely following him. And authority was given them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with a long sword and with food shortage and with deadly plague and by the wild beasts of the earth.
The wild beasts here seem to be political wild beasts which kill anyone who refuses the wild beast worship. These calamities such as war, famine, pestilence are caused by the political wild beasts.
Satan's all out attack against the sons of the kingdom has not happened yet. Satan and demons are still in the heavens. So far, our wrestling is still against the wicked spirit forces in the heavenly places.
According to the WTS' interpretation, Satan and demons were hurled down to the earth by 1918. But events in the real world don't prove their religious doctrine.
The sons of the kingdom are destined to death and persecution like their Lord. The Bible stresses this point many times.
Have no fear!
Joh 15:2020 Bear in mind the word I said to YOU, A slave is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will persecute YOU also; if they have observed my word, they will observe YOURS also.
Mt 10:28, 38-39
28 And do not become fearful of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; but rather be in fear of him that can destroy both soul and body in Ge·hen′na.
38 And whoever does not accept his torture stake and follow after me is not worthy of me. 39 He that finds his soul will lose it, and he that loses his soul for my sake will find it.
Ro 6:3-5
3 Or do YOU not know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 Therefore we were buried with him through our baptism into his death, in order that, just as Christ was raised up from the dead through the glory of the Father, we also should likewise walk in a newness of life. 5 For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we shall certainly also be [united with him in the likeness] of his resurrection;
1Co 4:9
9 For it seems to me that God has put us the apostles last on exhibition as men appointed to death, because we have become a theatrical spectacle to the world, and to angels, and to men.
Re 6:9
9 And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those slaughtered because of the word of God and because of the witness work that they used to have.
Re 20:4
4 And I saw thrones, and there were those who sat down on them, and power of judging was given them. Yes, I saw the souls of those executed with the ax for the witness they bore to Jesus and for speaking about God, and those who had worshiped neither the wild beast nor its image and who had not received the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand. And they came to life and ruled as kings with the Christ for a thousand years.
Re 2:10
10 Do not be afraid of the things you are about to suffer. Look! The Devil will keep on throwing some of YOU into prison that YOU may be fully put to the test, and that YOU may have tribulation ten days. Prove yourself faithful even to death, and I will give you the crown of life.
Christians who are happy and holding fast on to the hope of life don't need to fear the future tribulation. Our love for God and others and for the truth will be tried, but it is the most powerful force in the world, so it is assured that we will come out victorious from all trials.
Ro 8:38-39
38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life nor angels nor governments nor things now here nor things to come nor powers 39 nor height nor depth nor any other creation will be able to separate us from God's love that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Joh 16:33
33 I have said these things to YOU that by means of me YOU may have peace. In the world YOU are having tribulation, but take courage! I have conquered the world."
Christians always live to become a loving being at present moment, instead of being fearful of future trials unknown when to happen.
2Ti 1:7
7 For God gave us not a spirit of cowardice, but that of power and of love and of soundness of mind.
Those who have Christ's spirit and live with love for God and neighbor and the truth will receive the heavenly reward as a conqueror so as to take part in the restoration work for Adam's family.
see ya
