HOW DOES THE BIBLE DESCRIBE
THE "LAST DAYS"?

Most people do not believe that this world, as we now
know it, is about to come to an end; yet the Bible contains
many warnings for us about this very event:

"But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.
People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful,
proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,
without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without selfcontrol, brutal,
not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of
pleasure rather than lovers of God – having a form of godliness
but denying its power."
(2Timothy 3:1-5) (New International Version)

"First, I want to remind you that in the last days there
will be scoffers (ridiculers) who will laugh at the truth
and do every evil thing they desire."
(2Peter 3:3) (Amplified Bible - Tyndale)

So much for the people, what about the world itself?

^"For that will be a time of greater horror than anything the world
has ever seen or will ever see again. In fact, unless that time of
calamity is shortened, the entire human race will be destroyed."
(Matthew 24:21,22) (New Living Translation)

"If you think people are so hardened in sin that they will hate
you for preaching the Word, then READ JEREMIAH."
-- R. L. Whiteside.

19 And there came thither certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium,
who persuaded the people, and having stoned Paul, drew him out
of the city, supposing he had been dead.
(Acts 14:19) (King James Version)

Instead of becoming angry at God, who composed the message,
they poured out their wrath upon the faithful servant who
delivered it. It has always been so. Therefore, it should be no
surprise today.

THE VAST MAJORITY WILL NOT LISTEN!

HOW  DO  WE  KNOW?

God's Son, himself foretold that the vast majority of
mankind would be destroyed - when he returns:

Jehovah's people are trying to warn mankind that time has
run out.

Should we listen to them?

"But you must remember... the predictions which were
made by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. They told
you beforehand, In the last days - in the end time - there
will be scoffers... It is these who are agitators... merely
worldly-minded people, devoid of the Holy Spirit and
destitute of any higher spiritual life."
(Jude 1:17-19) (AMP)

Only the wise ones will!

"In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now
he commands all people everywhere to repent.
For he has set a day when he will judge the world with
justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof
of this to all men by raising him from the dead."
(Acts 17:30-31) (NIV)

Is the Cross Really
Holy to Christians?

Most Christians think of the cross as a holy symbol.
The symbol is considered so holy that most of the
churches of Christendom have crosses on steeples,
on the grounds, on the walls and windows. The ministers
of Christendom commonly have crosses embroidered on
their robes. People love the cross so much that they wear
cross pins and dangle crosses from their necklaces and
even earrings.

What is the actual truth?

"The New Testament word  'cross' is an incorrect
translation of the Greek word stauros. The word
"stauros" referred to any upright wooden stake firmly
fixed in the ground. A stauros could serve a variety of
purposes as, for example, a pole in a picket fence. The
word stauros also represented a pointed stake used for
impalement of human beings. This was an ancient form
of punishment used to publicly display the bodies of
executed criminals."
-The New International Dictionary
    of New Testament Theology

What does this mean?
Is it possible that the "Holy Cross" is a hoax?

"Another... tradition of the Church which our fathers
have inherited, was the adoption of the words 'cross'
and 'crucify'. These words are nowhere to be found
in the Greek of the New Testament."
 -Koster, C.J.  Come Out of Her My People. p. 29
    Johannesburg, RSA:
     Institute for Scripture Research, 1998.

How did this happen?

"It was not until Christianity began to be PAGANIZED that
the cross came to be thought of as a Christian symbol."
- Babylon Mystery Religion; Ralph Woodrow (pg 50)

So how did God's Son really die?

To designate the instrument of Christ's death, John
used the Greek word "stawros".
(John 19:17, 19, 25)

In classical Greek, ‘stawros' or ‘stauros’ denotes the same thing
that it does in the common Greek of the Christian Scriptures -
primarily an upright stake or pole with no crossbar.

Who says so?

'stauros': "Literally an upright stake, pale, or pole...
As an instrument of execution."
-The Interpreter's Dictionary of the Bible

"The Greek... 'stauros', properly signified a stake, an
upright pole, or piece of paling, on which anything
might be hung, or which might be used in impaling
[fencing in] a piece of ground. Even amongst the
Romans the crux (from which our cross is derived)
appears to have been originally an upright pole,
and this always remained the more prominent part."
-The Imperial Bible Dictionary.

Most of the time, the noun stauros (stake) and the verb stauroo
(impale) are used in connection with Christ's death. These two
words appear 74 times in the New Testament.

The New International Version of the Bible accurately uses the word 
'tree' five times to refer to Christ's death. The references are found
in Acts 5:30, 10:39, 13:29, Galatians 3:13 and 1 Peter 2:24.

"The God of our fathers raised Jesus from the dead--
whom you had killed by hanging him on a tree. "
(Acts 5:30) (NIV) -BibleGateway

^"When they had carried out all that was written about
him, they took him down from the tree and laid him
in a tomb."
(Acts 13:29) (NIV) -BibleGateway

"We are witnesses of everything he did in the country of
the Jews and in Jerusalem. They killed him by hanging
him on a tree."
(Acts 10:39) (NIV)-BibleGateway

"Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by
becoming a curse for us,  for it is written: "Cursed
is everyone who is hung on a tree."
(Galatians 3:13) (NIV) -BibleGateway

"He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree... "
(1Peter 2:24) (NIV) -BibleGateway

PROPHECY POINTS TO A "TREE" - NOT A CROSS

²² If a man guilty of a capital offense is put to death and his
body is hung on a tree, ²³ you must not leave his body on
the tree overnight. Be sure to bury him that same day, because
anyone who is hung on a tree is under God's curse. You must
not desecrate the land the LORD your God is giving you as an
inheritance.
(Deuteronomy 21:22-23) (NIV)

Bibles with a known mis-translation contain
a footnote with the correct word:

They did exactly what the Scriptures said they would.
Even though they couldn't find any reason to put
Jesus to death, they still asked Pilate to have him
killed. After Jesus had been put to death, he was
taken down from the cross ^[a] and placed in a tomb.
(Acts 13:29) (CEV)

Footnotes

a.       Acts 13:28 cross: This translates a Greek word
that means "wood," "pole," or "tree."

So why did somebody make up the myth that Christ died on a cross?

'That which is now called the Christian cross was originally no
Christian emblem at all, but was the mystic Tau of the Chaldeans
(Babylonians) and the Egyptians."
- Alexander Hislop, The Two Babylons, 2nd American edition.
(Neptune, New Jersey, U.S.A: Loizeaux Brothers, 1959;
(originally written in 1862), pp. 197-205.

'There is hardly a Pagan tribe where the cross has not been
found. The cross was worshipped by the Pagan Celts
long before the incarnation and death of Christ.'(10)
- 10. Ibid. p. 199. 'Crabb's Mythology, p. 163.'

"Various objects, dating from periods long anterior to the
Christian era, have been found, marked with crosses of
different designs, in almost every part of the old world.
India, Syria, Persia and Egypt have all yielded numberless
examples... The use of the cross as a religious symbol in
pre-Christian times and among non-Christian peoples may
probably be regarded as almost universal, and in very many
cases it was connected with some form of nature worship."
—Encyclopædia Britannica (1946), Vol. 6, p. 753. “Cross”

"An enormous body of evidence proves that the cross
is not a Christian symbol but has its roots in rank
paganism. Nominal Christians adopted this pagan
symbol as a sign of their religion, even though it had
nothing to do with true Christianity."
-The Cross:
Christian Banner or Pagan Relic?
by Earl L. Henn (1934-1997)
Forerunner, May 1996

It was the Catholic Church's intention to incorporate every known
religious belief no matter how stupid or inappropriate into one

religion. The result is present day “Christianity”, Catholic style.

Not only is the cross, as a symbol, non-Christian, it is
an abomination; an insult. Especially this one:

 

So it turns out that our Saviour died on a stake, not a cross!
This will probably boggle the minds of most Christians because
the whole world, to this day, believes that he died on a cross
and that the cross is a holy Christian symbol.

What does the Bible say about idols such as a cross?

⁴ "You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form
of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in
the waters below. ⁵ You shall not bow down to them or
worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God,
punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third
and fourth generation of those who hate me, ⁶ but showing
love to a thousand {generations} of those who love me and
keep my commandments.”
(Exodus 20:4-6) (NIV)

The cross may be popular with the world, but it is not
popular with Jehovah. Perhaps now is a good time to
re-evaluate all the other myths of "Christianity".

The Man With the Inkhorn

The Bible contains a great deal of knowledge. Most of the
knowledge is historical and many people find the old stories
to be inspiring and instructive but some of the most important
information is prophetic. Deep in many of the old accounts
from the prophets are their prophecies that have lain dormant
for many centuries. Strange events took place long ago that
will lead to even stranger events for the people of today.
Ancient prophecies are being fulfilled right before the watchful
eyes of the world, but the world does not comprehend what is
transpiring! Consider an event long ago that was recorded in
the Bible. This is what occurred long ago when Jehovah sent an
angel to deliver a message to the prophet named Ezekiel:

1 And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will
speak with thee.  2 And the Spirit entered into me when he spake
unto me, and set me upon my feet; and I heard him that spake unto
me.  3 And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children
of Israel, to nations that are rebellious, which have rebelled against
me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me even unto
this very day.  4 And the children are impudent and stiffhearted: I do
sent thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the
Lord Jehovah.  5 And they, whether they will hear, or whether they
will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house,) yet shall know that
there hath been a prophet among them.
(Ezekiel 2:1-5) (American Standard Version)

Here we see that Jehovah is displeased with His people and has
dispatched His prophet to give the people fair warning. Despite
Ezekiel's efforts, the people refused to change their ways.

4 And there before me was the glory of the God of Israel,
as in the vision I had seen in the plain.  5 Then he said to
me, "Son of man, look toward the north." So I looked, and
in the entrance north of the gate of the altar I saw this idol
of jealousy.  6 And he said to me, "Son of man, do you see
what they are doing—the utterly detestable things the house
of Israel is doing here, things that will drive me far from my
sanctuary? But you will see things that are even more detestable."
(Ezekiel 8:4-6) (NIV)

When the time came to take action against the disobedient people,
Jehovah first needed to mark the people who were innocent.

1 Then I heard him call out loudly, "Executioners, come!
And bring your deadly weapons with you."
(Ezekiel 9:1) (The Message)

The angels designated to carry out Jehovah's judgement
appeared with their weapons, but among them was one who
was armed only with an inkhorn, a marking device.

"And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate,
which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon
in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen,
with a writer's inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood
beside the brasen altar."
(Ezekiel 9:2) (King James Version)

This one angel had a job to do before
the executions could begin:

3-4 The Glory of the God of Israel ascended from his usual
place above the cherubim-angels, moved to the threshold
of the Temple, and called to the man with the writing case
who was dressed in linen: "Go through the streets of Jerusalem
and put a mark on the forehead of everyone who is in
anguish over the outrageous obscenities being done in the city."
5-6 I listened as he went on to address the executioners: "Follow
him through the city and kill. Feel sorry for no one. Show no
compassion. Kill old men and women, young men and women,
mothers and children. But don't lay a hand on anyone with the
mark. Start at my Temple." They started with the leaders in front
of the Temple. 7-8 He told the executioners, "Desecrate the Temple.
Fill it with corpses. Then go out and continue the killing." So they
went out and struck the city. While the massacre went forward, I
was left alone. I fell on my face in prayer: "Oh, oh, God, my Master!
Are you going to kill everyone left in Israel in this pouring out of
your anger on Jerusalem?" 9-10 He said, "The guilt of Israel and
Judah is enormous. The land is swollen with murder. The city
is bloated with injustice. They all say, 'God has forsaken the
country. He doesn't see anything we do.' Well, I do see, and
I'm not feeling sorry for any of them. They're going to pay
for what they've done." 11 Just then, the man dressed in linen
and carrying the writing case came back and reported, "I've done
what you told me."
(Ezekiel 9) (The Message)

These events were fulfilled when Jerusalem was
captured by the Babylonians in 586 BC.

From: http://www.bartleby.com/65/ez/Ezekiel.html

Ezekiel's vision was highly symbolic but nonetheless led
to a nonsymbolic event where some of his people were
killed and some survived, just as his vision foretold. The
ones who survived were invisibly marked.

Are the conditions that Jehovah complained
about back then - about the same as today?
Is the land swollen with murder? Are the
cities bloated with injustice? Does anybody
care about Jehovah's laws at all? 

A few people in the world do. That is why
the "man with the inkhorn" is back!

1 After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners
of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth to
prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea
or on any tree. 2 Then I saw another angel coming up from
the east, having the seal of the living God. He called out in
a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power
to harm the land and the sea: 3 "Do not harm the land or
the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of
the servants of our God." 4 Then I heard the number of
those who were sealed: 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel.
(Revelation 7:1-4) (NIV)

These people are marked for the purpose of being our leaders.
There is no provision for the general public to reside in Heaven
with them. The Bible shows that these sealed individuals have
a specific function for a limited time:

4 I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been
given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who
had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and
because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the
beast or his image and had not received his mark on
their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and
reigned with Christ a thousand years.
(Revelation 20:4) (NIV)

What about this other mark?
Who is marked on the forehead and hands?

11 Then I saw another beast, coming out of the earth.
He had two horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon.
12 He exercised all the authority of the first beast on his
behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the
first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. 13 And he
performed great and miraculous signs, even causing fire to
come down from heaven to earth in full view of men.
14 Because of the signs he was given power to do on behalf
of the first beast, he deceived the inhabitants of the earth.
He ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast
who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15 He was
given power to give breath to the image of the first beast,
so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship
the image to be killed. 16 He also forced everyone, small
and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark
on his right hand or on his forehead, 17 so that no one
could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name
of the beast or the number of his name. 18 This calls for
wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number
of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666.
(Revelation 13:11-18) (NIV)

Who has the mark of the beast?

From the passage we see that just about everybody has the
mark of the beast. Almost everybody has to buy things in
this modern world as a normal way of life. Many people
sell things. Having the mark of the beast upon us is nearly
unavoidable, but that is not the problem!

What, then, is the problem?

¹⁹ Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and
their armies gathered together to make war against the
rider on the horse and his army. ²⁰ But the beast was
captured, and with him the false prophet who had
performed the miraculous signs on his behalf. With
these signs he had deluded those who had received
the mark of the beast and worshiped his image.
(Revelation 19:19-20) (NIV)

The problem is not being marked, it is worshiping the beast
while marked. We can see that military personnel have the
mark. All countries having a military require their personnel
to pledge their allegiance solely to their country and their
commanders. Their god is the military (the beast).

What is the fate of the people who have
the mark of the beast and worship it?

19-21I saw the Beast and, assembled with him, earth's kings
and their armies, ready to make war against the One on
the horse and his army. The Beast was taken, and with him,
his puppet, the False Prophet, who used signs to dazzle and
deceive those who had taken the mark of the Beast and
worshiped his image. They were thrown alive, those two,
into Lake Fire and Brimstone. The rest were killed by the
sword of the One on the horse, the sword that comes from
his mouth. All the birds held a feast on their flesh.
(Revelation 19:19-21) (The Message)

So we can conclude that being marked by "the man
with the inkhorn" is desirable but being marked by
the beast can be fatal. Those of us who are marked
by the beast cannot worship it and expect to survive
when Our Messiah returns to destroy the beast.

What is a better idea?

34 Wait for Jehovah, and keep his way, And he will exalt
thee to inherit the land: When the wicked are cut off, thou
shalt see it. 37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright;
For there is a happy end to the man of peace. 38 As for
transgressors, they shall be destroyed together; The end of
the wicked shall be cut off.
(Psalms 37:34,37,38) (ASV)

The One True Religion

 There is in existence a people who worship The Creator
(of us and the universe) in the way He requires.

Is it difficult? Is it demanding?

No! Jehovah did not make the rules hard or demanding,
men did. For countless centuries men have made up ways
to worship gods that were not only difficult to follow, but
usually stupid and evil ways. This is especially true of the
Jews, who, sadly, started off as Jehovah’s chosen people,
but repeatedly turned their backs to Him. Jehovah sent
many prophets to His chosen people to bring them back 
to Him. One of the last prophets Jehovah sent to them
was His own son. This was one more chance to repent
and even then they still rejected Jehovah:

^{8 "}You have let go of the commands of God and are holding
on to the traditions of men." ⁹And he said to them: "You
have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God
in order to observe your own traditions!"
(Mark 7:8-9) (New International Version)

^{13 "}As such, you break the law of God in order to protect
your own tradition. And this is only one example. There
are many, many others."
Mark 7:13) (New Living Translation)

So what does our loving Creator and Father,
Jehovah, require of us? 

³⁴But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put
the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.
³⁵Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a
question, tempting him, and saying, ³⁶Master, which
is the great commandment in the law? ³⁷Jesus said
unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all
thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
³⁸This is the first and great commandment. ³⁹And the
second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour
as thyself. ⁴⁰On these two commandments hang all
the law and the prophets.
(Matthew 22:34-40) (King James Version)

What Christ did for us was take The Ten Commandments
that were given to Moses and streamlined them for us so
that anyone who is familiar with The Ten Commandments
can follow all of them if they follow his “Two Commandments”.

After all, how can someone who lies, steals, cheats and
kills, love his neighbor or his parents? How can someone
who worships idols say that he loves Jehovah? What else
must we do to show our love for our Heavenly Father?

Many people say they are willing to follow 
Christ, but they lack a sense of purpose. 

He had a mission for his followers:

¹⁶Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst
of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and
harmless as doves.
(Matthew 10:16)  (KJV)

What was it that Christ wanted them to do?

¹Jesus called his twelve disciples to him and
gave them authority to cast out evil spirits
and to heal every kind of disease and illness.
(Matthew 10:1) (NLT)

This was done to demonstrate Christ’s power and authority.
And yet, amazingly enough, most of his own people, the
Jews, still rejected him. Today, we rely on the evidence
written in the Bible to prove his authority and continue
the work that he and his disciples started:

¹⁴And the Good News about the Kingdom will
be preached throughout the whole world, so
that all nations will hear it; and then, finally,
the end will come.
(Matthew 24:14) (NLT)

What news? Is it really good news? What kingdom?

Isaiah prophesied about The New Kingdom hundreds
of years before Christ was even born:

⁷ Of the increase of his government and of peace
there shall be no end, upon the throne of David,
and upon his kingdom, to establish it, and to
uphold it with justice and with righteousness
from henceforth even forever. The zeal of
Jehovah of hosts will perform this.
(Isaiah 9:7) (American Standard Version)

Ever since Isaiah prophesied this “kingdom of peace
and justice” there has never existed one anywhere in
the world. This prophecy has yet to be fulfilled! We

have been waiting countless centuries.

How much longer will it be?

Christ, himself said:

⁷For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom
against kingdom, and there will be famines and
earthquakes in various places. ⁸All these are but
the beginning of the birth pains.
(Matthew 24:7-8) (English Standard Version)

These events are all happening now and have been
happening for some time now. For many people now
living, these very things have been going on all their
lives.

What does it all mean?

Christendom is vaguely aware that this is a prophesy
of the end of the world as we now know it. However,
the priests and ministers of Christendom assure their
church members that they have nothing to worry about.
In fact, most of Christendom eagerly awaits “the rapture”:
to be taken to Heaven when the end comes. These priests
and ministers of Christendom have misled their congregations
mercilessly.

Where can we find the truth? 

⁷Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find;
knock, and it shall be opened unto you: ⁸For every one
that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and
to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
(Matthew 7:7-8) (KJV)

It was not enough to sit back in the pew at church and
listen to the sermon drone on and on. We had to seek
the truth for ourselves. NOW it is too late!

20 Wisdom calls aloud in the street,
she raises her voice in the public squares;

21 at the head of the noisy streets she cries out,
in the gateways of the city she makes her speech:

22 "How long will you simple ones love your simple ways?
How long will mockers delight in mockery
and fools hate knowledge?

23 If you had responded to my rebuke,
I would have poured out my heart to you
and made my thoughts known to you.

24 But since you rejected me when I called
and no one gave heed when I stretched out my hand,

25 since you ignored all my advice
and would not accept my rebuke,

26 I in turn will laugh at your disaster;
I will mock when calamity overtakes you-

27 when calamity overtakes you like a storm,
when disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind,
when distress and trouble overwhelm you.

28 "Then they will call to me but I will not answer;
they will look for me but will not find me.

29 Since they hated knowledge
and did not choose to fear the LORD,

30 since they would not accept my advice
and spurned my rebuke,

31 they will eat the fruit of their ways
and be filled with the fruit of their schemes.

32 For the waywardness of the simple will kill them,
and the complacency of fools will destroy them;

33 but whoever listens to me will live in safety
and be at ease, without fear of harm."
(Proverbs 1:20-33) (NIV)

Jehovah's Witnesses have been traveling the streets all over
the world for over one hundred years. They roamed from
home to home bringing people important information we all
needed in these last days of this world. Time has run out.

Christ Is Ready
for the Harvest

The world is a shambles and getting worse every day.
People all over the world are asking:

Why were our homes destroyed by earthquakes,
fires and flooding?

Why is there so much violence and warfare?
Why is the economy so bad?
Why is my job gone?
What will happen next?

Why is the world a shambles?

Mankind was allowed to run amuck in this world
for many thousands of years. Just look at what
we have accomplished!

What does the world have?

Poverty and famines.
Widespread hatred.
Oppression, wars, pollution, disease, squalor, unrest and despair.

Not only that, but the problems are growing!

Not once have the governmental leaders of this world,
in their wisdom, ever solved any of these problems in
any country.

They never have and never will. Because of widespread
corruption and incompetence, the world’s leaders solely
look out for their own interests and disregard the problems
of the people they supposedly serve.

Who can save the world from certain disaster?

"...for they shall cry unto Jehovah because of oppressors,
and he will send them a saviour, and a defender, and he
will deliver them."
(Isaiah 19:20) (ASV)

"...At the time that God has already decided,
he will send Christ back again."
(1Timothy 6:15) (CEV)

That is wonderful news! Jehovah and His son
are about to do something about the havoc
and chaos in the world soon.

But what must occur first?

A small thing – and yet – a large accomplishment!

Before God’s son takes over, all of his true followers
must stop calling him "Jesus".

Why?

"The Hebrews called their coming Savior, the Messiah,
Jahshuawah (Jehoshua). The disciples of the Savior
accepted Him as such, and to them He was known as
Jahshuwah the Messiah. The Greeks, however, rejected
the Hebrew name, and called Him (IESOUS-Jesus) instead."
- The Origin of Christianity
by A.B. Traina

"It is interesting to note - that throughout his life - the
one now known as Jesus Christ never did hear himself
called by that name."
- "Man’s Great Adventure,"
by Edwin W. Pharlow, professor of history,
Ohio State University.

"It is known that the Greek name endings with sus,
seus and sous were attached by the Greeks to names
and geographical areas as means to give honour to
their supreme deity, Zeus."
-Dictionary of Christian Lore and Legend
Professor J. C. J. Metford

That is why. God’s son is not Jesus! Just as the Bible
translators substituted "GOD" and "LORD" for God’s
actual name, Jehovah, they also painstakingly traded
"Jesus" for "Jehoshua" in place of Christ’s true name.

Has it always been that way?

"In the 1611 KJ New Testatment the name Yahshua
(Yehoshua) appeared originally wherever the Messiah
was spoken of. Yehoshua means Yehovah's (Jehovah's)
Salvation. Later the Messiah's name was replaced with
Iesus (Greek) which later in the 1600's it became Jesus
starting with the new English letter 'J' which was
introduced at that time. Further, the Greek 'Iesus'
comes from the name Zeus, the ruling God in the
Greek pantheon."

Instead, true Christians will let go of Christendom’s
three-headed trinity god named Jesus and call our
savior by his correct name.

Jehoshua

Christ's name (Jehoshua) is of Hebrew origin and
is taken from the name Yehoshua, which in English
is often translated as Joshua. Yehoshua, in Hebrew
means "Yehovah Saves".
-Strong's Exhaustive Concordance

Jehoshua was the name given to Christ by his
heavenly Father, Jehovah God. Many years
after his death - Rome changed his name to
suit their pagan heritage and to please their
pagan converts. "Ieous" was Greek for "Hail
Zeus", which was translated later into English
as "Jesus". And this error has continued to the
present. "The name Joshua (Jehoshua) derives
its greatest importance and highest sanctity
from the fact that it was sacredly chosen as the
name to be borne by the Messiah. This name was
corrupted and altered in time into the name Jesus."
--Personal Names in the Bible
by Dr. W.F. Wilkinson, M.A.
Joint Editor of Webster and Wilkinson's
Greek Testament: pages 342-343.

"Jesus. That was a name given to him many years after
His death. Rome wanted to remove any Jewishness from
the new church. They eliminated His Jewish name and
blended the name of Zeus in order to make it comfortable
for all those who had previously worshipped the Greek
and Roman gods. Since Zeus was the top god of their
experience, attaching the name Ioesus (hail Zeus) to
Yahshua - gave Him top priority in the worship hierarchy."

CHRIST DECLARED :

"I have come in My Father's name and with His power..."
(John 5:43) (AMP)

And as we can plainly see, that name is not "Jesus"!

Christ will not take action on behalf of his true followers
until they give up their "J-zeus" error. Only when Jehovah's
people begin to call upon "Jehoshua" - will they obtain the
Salvation that Jehovah has promised to them.

But some will balk against such a change!

They will resist this request from God's Chosen King.
For whatever reason, there are some that will rather
leave Jehovah's earthly organization rather than
call Christ "Jehoshua".

That would be "the weeds".

"The owner's servants came to him and said, 'Sir, didn't
you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the
weeds come from?' 'An enemy did this,' he replied. "The
servants asked him, 'Do you want us to go and pull them
up?' 'No,' he answered, 'because while you are pulling the
weeds, you may root up the wheat with them. Let both
grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the
harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles
to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.' "
(Matthew 13:27-30) (NIV)

All over the world weeds have been sown in with the faithful.
They have served Jehovah side by side for some time now
just as Jehoshua Christ said they would. The time has finally
come to sort the weeds from the wheat.

"Be patient like those farmers and don't give up.
The Lord will soon be here!"
(James 5:8) (CEV)

"...I know you can't stomach evil, that you weed
out apostolic pretenders..."
(Revelation 2:2) (MSG)

"...limp souls. Useless as weeds, fragile as grass,
insubstantial as wind-blown chaff."
(2Kings 19:26) (MSG)

"...Soon, oh very soon, her harvest will come
and then the chaff will fly!'"
(Jeremiah 51:29) (MSG)

"I know your deeds... You have kept My word,
and have not denied My name."
(Revelation 3:8) (NASB)

And it was for this very reason that Christ waited so
long to reveal this truth to his followers. The Harvest
wasn't ready and he didn't want to uproot the wheat
with the weeds. But now that will not be a problem
anymore because the Harvest is ready.

The First Command directed to Jehovah's people by
God's chosen King, Jehoshua, is to begin calling
Christ by his rightful name. It is not a difficult thing
to do but it will mean putting God and Christ first
in our lives and it may also mean a loss of favor with
the rest of the Jesus-worshiping world.

A similar but tremendous dividing work happened
when Jehovah God began to take out of the nations
A People For His name. When the International Bible
Students made the decision to become "Jehovah’s
Witnesses" - to fulfil Bible Prophecy and identify
themselves as His people, some fell away - as they
were weed-like and refused to be called by Jehovah's
Divine Name.

This same dividing or separating - is happening again
today - at this time of "The End". But now, instead of
Jehovah’s name separating true followers from the
unfaithful, this time it will be the name of God's Son,
"Jehoshua" Christ that will uproot the weeds that were
sown by Satan.

A choice has to be made. A choice will be made.
One way or the other - each of us will choose the
side on which we will stand. From such a small
change will come a tremendous accomplisment.

THE HARVEST IS ON!

The wheat and weeds are about to be sorted and gathered.

Which side will we choose?
"Jesus" or "Jehoshua"?

"Now what I am commanding you today is not too
difficult for you or beyond your reach. No, the word
is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart
so you may obey it."
(Deuteronomy 30:11,14) (NIV)

"...YOU will by no means see me until YOU say,
‘Blessed is he that comes in Jehovah’s name.’"
(Luke 13:35) (NWT)

"There is salvation in no one else! God has given no
other name under heaven by which we must be saved."
(Acts 4:12) (NLT)

"Blessed is he who is coming In the name of Jehovah..."
(Psalm 118:26) (YLT)

And while we are at it…

ARE YOU SAYING "AMEN" – IN IGNORANCE ?

"By ending our prayers in 'amen'... one could very
well ask, "Have we been misled to invoke the name
of the Egyptian 'Sun-god' at the end of our prayers?"
-United Hebrew Congregation
Charles J. Voss

It is common to end a discourse on spiritual matters,
(or end a prayer) with (the word) "Amen". Few of us
realize that the word 'Amen' is an Egyptian word. It
refers to the Egyptian god of Thebes. The Hebrews
adopted the word and it passed into Christian use as
"Amen". It is a petition for (the god - Amen) to fulfill
our words.
- MYSTIC GIFTS FROM ANCIENT EGYPT
By Dr John Palo ; 1999

The Israelite exiles from Egypt knew that Jehovah was not
the same as the Egyptian god Aten, and so they presumed
he must be the equivalent of the great State God of Egypt.
It was decided, therefore, to add the name of that State-god
of Egypt to all prayers thereafter, and the name of that Egyptian
god was "Amen". To this day, the name of Amen is still recited
at the end of prayers in both Jewish and Christian religions.
- Genesis of the Grail Kings
by Sir Laurence Gardner; pg. 6

Finally, we may note that the word "Amen" occurs in gnostic
spells… especially of Egyptian origin, and a sort of magical
efficacy seems to have been attributed to this word.. The
practice of answering "Amen" at the end of prayers appears
in the Canons of Hippolytus (No. 146) and in the Egyptian
Church Order (p. 101).

When we did it in ignorance, maybe God looked past that.
But now that you know the truth, what will you do? Will you
continue to use the name of a pagan god to close your prayers?
Is it too hard to change that now? Because you’ve been using
the ‘amen’ tradition for a long time - will you rationalize and
justify why you keep on invoking the name of the Egyptian
god, Amen? Will you find a pastor or teacher to reassure you
that "it’s okay to say ‘amen’ - Or will you give thanks to God for
revealing His truth and stop using the name of a pagan god?"
-And they all Said, "AMEN"
by J.D. Roberts

The true followers of Jehovah and
His son will know what to do.
