| − | “Por the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that
| |
| − | is lifted up, and he shuil be brought low.’’—Isu. 2: 12.
| |
| − | of the warriors who fight for righteousness, ITis
| |
| − | forces are led by his Chief Officer, Christ Jesus,
| |
| − | his mighty Son, and the armies of the Lord know no
| |
| − | defeat. When Coliath, the bie bully of the Philistines
| |
| − | and servant of the Devil, defied the armies of the
| |
| − | Lord, David the beloved, who was a type of Christ
| |
| − | Jesus, the beloved Son of God, boldly said to the
| |
| − | Philistine: (‘Thou comest to me with a sword, and
| |
| − | with a spear, and with a shicld; but I come to thee
| |
| − | in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies
| |
| − | of Isracl, whom thou hast defied.’? (1 Sam. 17:45)
| |
| − | The Israclite, foreshadowed the spiritual Israelites of
| |
| − | this day, the seed of Jacob, that is to say, the remnant
| |
| − | of God's people, The arrogant, bold, rude and dcfiant
| |
| − | clergy, led by the Roman Catholie Mierarehy, are
| |
| − | united in war upon the true followers of Christ Jesus,
| |
| − | who delive. the testimony of the King and the king-
| |
| − | dom. Long «go Jchovah of hosts eauscd his judements
| |
| − | to be written and recorded, and now he gives his pecple
| |
| − | to understand the meaning thereof that they may have
| |
| − | full assurance that he who knows no defeat shall fieht
| |
| − | their battlcs for them. The antitypieal David includes
| |
| − | all the faith Jul members of the body of Christ, includ-
| |
| − | ing the remnant now on carth, and these are face to
| |
| − | face with the Roman Catholie Hierarchy and their
| |
| − | allied elergymen cngaged in a battle that asks and
| |
| − | gives no quarter. By his prophets God identifies the
| |
| − | elergy or religious clement under the names of
| |
| − | “‘Esau’’, ‘dom,’’ ‘Idumea,’’ ‘‘Philistines,’? and by
| |
| − | other devilish names, but all mean the same thing.
| |
| − | That Jehovah is going to execute them in due time
| |
| − | he fully discloses to those who love and serve him.
| |
| − | Therefore like David they go forth to the war confident
| |
| − | that the Lord will gain the victory. Coneerming this
| |
| − | war Jehovah says: ‘‘For my sword shall be bathed in
| |
| − | heaven : behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and
| |
| − | upun the people of my curse, to judgment. The sword
| |
| − | of the Lord is filled with blood; it is made fat with
| |
| − | fatness, and with the blood of lambs and goats, with
| |
| − | the fat of the kidneys of rams; for the Lord hath a
| |
| − | sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land
| |
| − | of {dumea. And the streams thereof shall be turned
| |
| − | Soci the ws of hosts is the leader and commander
| |
| − | into piteh, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and
| |
| − | the land thereof shall become burning pitch.’’—Isa.
| |
| − | 34:5, 6, 9.
| |
| − | 2 These positive words of Jehovah’s judgement show
| |
| − | the end of the Ilicrarchy. Why will Jehovah execute
| |
| − | this judgment against them? ‘For it is the day of
| |
| − | the Lord’s vengeance, and the year of recompcnees
| |
| − | for the controversy of Zion.’? (Isa, 34:8) These
| |
| − | prophecies are fully corroburated by the prophecy of
| |
| − | Obadiah (verse 10), and to the consideration of that
| |
| − | prophecy we now return.
| |
| − | >The revelation of the prophecy of Obadiah is a
| |
| − | great encouragement to the people of God at the pres-
| |
| − | ent time. He who now truly fears God and is diligent
| |
| − | to walk humbly with him, henee in accord with his
| |
| − | commandments and law of his organization, will fear
| |
| − | neither man nor devil, but with full confidenee in the
| |
| − | Lord he will courageously go forward to the perform-
| |
| − | ance of his duty. Jehovah commands his people now
| |
| − | to ‘rise up against the elergy in battle’, and then the
| |
| − | Lord addresses the religionists, the clergy who have
| |
| − | wickedly defamed his name; ‘Behold, E have made
| |
| − | thee small among the heathen: thou art greatly de-
| |
| − | spised.’’—Obad. 2.
| |
| − | 4Sinee the days of Nimrod religion has been creat
| |
| − | amongst the nations, and the chicf means employed
| |
| − | by the Devil to deceive the people. Sinec the orzani-
| |
| − | zation of the Roman Catholie Hicrarchy that wicked
| |
| − | religious institution has posed as the representative
| |
| − | of God on earth, and it is the greatest hypocritical
| |
| − | crowd that ever afflicted the peoples of the world. But
| |
| − | the day is here when Jchovah will make those rcli-
| |
| − | gionists ‘‘small among the nations’? (2.V.) and
| |
| − | eveatly despised. That wicked institution, the Tier-
| |
| − | archy, has for many years been a terror to the prople
| |
| − | of the nations; she has ruled by fraud, deceit, lies,
| |
| − | coercion and oppression; that wicked institution is
| |
| − | guilty of all mauner of blasphemy, and the men who
| |
| − | make up that organization are haughty, terrible and
| |
| − | eruel, and concerning them Jehovah pronounced his
| |
| − | judgment in these words: “T will cause the arroganey
| |
| − | of the proud to ecase, and will lay low the hauehtiness
| |
| − | of the terrible.’’ (Ilsa. 13:11) Let Jehovah’s witnesses
