No Salvation For Bad Creed
Teachers—Who Then makes it
through the Great Tribulation?—Answer “a great crowd” Also See CTDGod.htm
Adding
or Taken Anything From the Scriptures is a direct
violation to them. Those that have misinterpreted stuff and then teach that to others, that makes
them Liars—Idolaters
and all liars--their place will be in the fiery lake of
burning sulfur. This is the second death-Rev 21:8—Scroll <<
Rev 21:7 >>Rev 7:9-15 (Read
Chapter) reveals “a great crowd” of other worshipers of Jehovah sharing in pure
worship at the spiritual temple. Those making up this “great crowd” are not
described in terms that identify them as underpriests.
So they must be understood to be standing in what was represented by the
courtyard of the Gentiles, a special feature of the temple as rebuilt by Herod.
The ones who make up this “great crowd” are said to have “washed their robes
and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.” Because of their faith in the
sacrifice of Christ, they are credited with a righteous standing that makes
possible their preservation through “the great tribulation,” so they are said
to “come out of” it as survivors— Scroll << 2 Thess 1:4

Another Act of God Nears

Describing
the climax of the present system’s last days in which we have been living since
the year—(See 1914.htm) , Jesus
warned: “There will be great tribulation such as has not occurred since the
world’s beginning , no, nor will occur again.” (Matthew 24:21) That event
will bring an end to the present unrighteous system of things. Its climax will
be “the war of the great day of God the Almighty”—Armageddon. That will indeed
be a calamity for all those who remain a “part of the world.”—Revelation
16:14, 16; John 17:14; 2 Peter 3:3-13.
What
kind of judgment will this be? It will be selective, removing only “those who
do not [choose to] know God and those who do not obey the good news about our
Lord Jesus.” (2 Thessalonians 1:8-10) But it will not be a disaster to
those who listen to God’s warning and instructions, as did Noah and his family.
This event will certainly be an act of God, since he will protect his servants.
That makes it different from other disasters, which take the lives of good and
bad alike.—See Isaiah 28:21.
How
can we be sure that the coming “great tribulation” will be an act of God? We can
be sure because it meets the criteria:
(1) It
is in harmony with God’s declared purpose:
That purpose is to bring an end to this present ungodly system of
things.—Jeremiah 25:31-33; Zephaniah 3:8; Revelation
(2) Advance
Warning: For almost seven decades now, JW’s
See 33.htm have sounded a clear warning of
this system’s end, and they have preached the good news of God’s incoming
Kingdom. Their work has grown in scope until there are now over 7million
Witnesses throughout the earth. (Matthew 24:14; Acts 20:20) We encourage you to
ask them about their message the next time they call at your home. Do not be
like those in Noah’s day who, as Jesus said, “took no note” and perished in the
Flood.—Matthew 24:37-39.
(3) Instructions
for Survival: The Bible urges: “Fear the true God and keep his
commandments.” (Ecclesiastes 12:13) The key to survival is learning what God’s instructions
are and then following them. Jesus put it plainly: “This means everlasting
life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom
you sent forth, Jesus Christ.” (John 17:3) Jehovah’s Witnesses will be happy to
show you what God’s instructions are.
God’s
Word also promises: “Hope in Jehovah and keep his way . . .
When the wicked ones are cut off, you will see it.” (Psalm 37:34) You can show
that this is your hope by listening to Jehovah’s instructions now and following
them. That will identify you before God and man as one who is trying to do His
will and thus come in line for survival. “The world is passing away . . . , but he that does the will of God
remains forever.”—1 John 2:15-17; Matthew 28:19, 20.
The
prospects ahead are indeed encouraging for those who learn about the coming act
of God and who take the necessary steps for survival, as they will be ushered
into a new era under the rule of God’s Kingdom. (Matthew 6:9, 10) But in
that new system, what will be done to protect people from man-made or natural
disasters?
Divine Disaster Prevention
With
God’s Kingdom in full control, what a time of peace and restoration that will
be! The benefits of submitting to the rule of God’s installed heavenly King,
Christ Jesus, are marvelous to contemplate.
That
is why the Bible assures us that under Kingdom rule God “will wipe out every
tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will
mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed
away.”—Revelation 21:4.
What
Jesus did on earth exemplifies the help he will give to his subjects in the
coming new system. And what of protection from natural disasters?
Recall that on one occasion Jesus prevented a disaster by calming a windstorm.
His disciples were awestruck and said to one another: “Who really is this,
because even the wind and the sea obey him?” (Mark 4:37-41) Thus, with complete
control over the elements, the powerful heavenly King of the new system will
see to it that never again will natural disasters harm man.
Whatever
damage man-made or natural disasters have already inflicted on our planet and
its ecosystems, God’s Kingdom will be certain to remedy. The Bible’s promise
is: “Even the wilderness and desert will rejoice in those days; the desert will
blossom with flowers. Yes, there will be an abundance of flowers and singing
and joy! . . . Springs will burst forth in the wilderness, and
streams in the desert.”—Isaiah 35:1-7, The Living
Bible.
A
uniform educational program will teach all in the new system to work well and
to care for their fellowman, as well as for the earth. “Righteousness is what
the inhabitants of the productive land will certainly learn.” (Isaiah 26:9)
With that earth-wide divine education, and mankind
lifted up to perfection mentally and physically, faults attributable to
imperfection will disappear. No more will selfish interests lead to shortcuts
in work procedures that could lead to accidents.
Today, man-made and natural disasters affect all of us. But the disaster that we need to be concerned about most, the “great tribulation,” is the act of God that will bring this wicked system of things to its end. That act of God will open the way to a new era of righteousness for those who do not let the truth slip by them at this time. For them it will certainly be demonstrated that “the true God is for us a God of saving acts.” (Psalm 68:20) So those who display godly wisdom now will enter a new system where they will “reside in security and be undisturbed from dread of calamity.”—Proverbs 1:33.
