Revelation 12 & Jehovah's Witnesses In Bible Prophecy

[See blog with graphics at: http://livingwatersforum.com/rev12.htm ]

(Revelation 12:1-5)

1 And a great sign was seen in heaven, a woman arrayed with the sun, and the moon was beneath her feet, and on her head was a crown of twelve stars,

2 and she was pregnant. And she cries out in her pains and in her agony to give birth.

3 And another sign was seen in heaven, and, look! a great fiery-colored dragon, with seven heads and ten horns and upon its heads seven diadems;

4 and its tail drags a third of the stars of heaven, and it hurled them down to the earth. And the dragon kept standing before the woman who was about to give birth, that, when she did give birth, it might devour her child.

5 And she gave birth to a son, a male, who is to shepherd all the nations with an iron rod. And her child was caught away to God and to his throne.


Verse-by-Verse Commentary from the YORWW Congregation:

Verse 1 of chapter 12 of the book of Revelation shown above speaks of a “great sign” being seen in “heaven.” In this instance, the “heaven” spoken of would picture the YORWW Congregation Arrangement, who are the only people on earth that correctly understand the events, as they occur within the organization of Jehovah’s Witnesses on earth.

In the mysterious vision, the “12-star Crown” that is upon the “woman’s” head shows her to represent the “12 tribes” of Israel on earth, even as the “12 stars” in Joseph's dream pictured the same. (Genesis 37:9) The “crown” on the “woman” head also shows the “regal” status enjoyed by the “woman” who enjoys a heaven-high standing with God as God's Chosen “Name People.” (Acts 15:14) She specifically pictures, in bible prophecy, the “one third” repentant members of the nation that survive the “Great Tribulation” of wrath from God upon His Name People. -- Zechariah 13:8, 9; Revelation 7:9, 10, 14-17.

Next, we notice the “woman” is seen as arrayed with the “sun” at the head and the “moon” at her feet. In this case, the “sun” and “moon” picture the Governing Body and Watchtower Society entities respectively, as they provide “light” or enlightenment for this “crowned” woman, a “luminary” for the day, and a “luminary” for the night. (Genesis 1:16, 17) This way, she appeared to be in constant “light,” or enlightenment, as we would expect from a Temple-Arrangement from Jehovah God.

However to the contrary, God's prophetic word shows in the end, her “sun” will not give its expected light, and her “moon” will fail her and not give her much needed “light” either. No, they will not, since they will prove to be false “luminaries” who give false light, not true light from Jehovah. Therefore, she will one day have to learn to lean on Jehovah, for true light. Yes, Jehovah must one day, become her true light. Amen! -- See Isaiah 60:19, 20.

Verse 2 show the “woman,” God’s woman is “pregnant” and she cries out in her “pains” and “agony” to give birth to the “Male Child.” Indeed, Jehovah God has caused these “pains” and “agony” for the woman to give birth to His Son, the “Male Child.” These “pains” and “agony” associated with the “birth” are the troublesome times ahead for the Watchtower Society, especially with many reformed-minded (For examples of visible "reformers" among JWs see three [3] links below) ones OPENLY taking a stand against the leadership (particularly the Governing Body) of Jehovah’s Witnesses at the kingdom halls around the world. To be sure, this special group for “reform” among Jehovah’s Witnesses are shown in bible prophecy to be called the “Two Witnesses” of Revelation 11:3-7. This will be a first for Jehovah’s Witnesses to actually witness, yes an actual “reform” movement going on within their midst. Jehovah's Witnesses, no, have never seen such before. Here are three (3) links that show the visible signs of "reformers" present among Jehovah's Witnesses today:

http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/198657/1/To-serving-elders-and-anyone-else-who-went-to-the-SM-this-week

http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/144020/1/A-CALL-TO-ACTION-HIGH-PRIORITY

Of course, when all of this happens, no doubt all of this will seem to be very strange, a great mystery to the “woman” herself, since she will not fully understand the actual need for such reform “issues” that must be settled for the sake of righteousness. She does not understand such things, herself. And we can fully expect, at the center of these reform “issues” will be the heinous, clandestine activity of the Governing Body becoming NGO Supporters of the United Nations Organization, in secret, for some 10 years.

Verse 3 shows the wicked “dragon” to be “fiery-colored.” He is shown to be “fiery-colored” because he has become the instigator of a “Great War,” as spoken in the book of Daniel as being the foretold conflict of the “King of the North” against the “King of the South.” (Daniel 10:1; 11th chapter NIV) In this instance, the “fiery-colored” dragon reminds us of the “2nd Seal” spoken of in Revelation 6th chapter. Clearly, in this instance the “fiery-colored” (Red colored) Horse and its rider picture warfare, GLOBAL WARFARE, WORLD WAR III even, showing all during the time the Jehovah’s witnesses organization is going through these major upheavals of change and difficulty, there will be Great War being engaged in by the world in general. Please keep in mind, one of the main reasons Satan is starting this war is to keep the world’s attention away from these important events happening at the kingdom halls around the world. Of course, this means the activity of Jehovah’s Witnesses are very, very important to Satan. Think about it.

Verse 4 shows us, the “tail” of the “dragon” being used to “drag” and “throw down” heavenly “stars” that decorate the woman’s presence. This “tail” pictures the main point of strength of Satan, just as a literal dragon-like creature uses their “tail” as a weapon to sling their prey around or dash them to pieces in a death blow hit. In this instance, the “tail” like instrument pictures the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses, that Satan fully controls, as the “man of lawlessness.” -- 2 Thessalonians 2:3-12

This particular instrument under Satan’s control, namely the Governing Body will “throw down” ONE THIRD OF THE “STARS” who picture approximately ONE THIRD (1/3) of the world-wide elder body of Jehovah’s Witnesses today. No doubt, these repentant or contrite [“repentance” pictured by the wearing of “sackcloth” as the “Two Witnesses”] reform “stars” or elders will be swiftly disciplined by the Governing Body because of the ideas of change or “reform” entertained by these “elders” who are quite dissatisfied by the recent decisions being made by the Governing Body themselves. (Revelation 11:3) These “stars” or “elders” (aka "Sheiks of Judah") of the “reform” movement simply can’t see themselves supporting the Governing Body and their decisions of recent, for the direction of the congregations of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Because of this “throwing down” action of the Governing Body upon these particular reform-minded “elders” or “stars,” these individuals will lose their positions of oversight with the congregations of Jehovah’s Witnesses. This particular “sign” as seen in “heaven” will be fully anticipated and expected by those who are part of the YORWW “Intimate Group” Prophetic Association. – See Zechariah 12:4-6; Jeremiah 23:18, 22; Revelation 12:1, 3.

Verse 5 shows the “Male Child” is born. These are shown to one day, “shepherd the nations with an iron rod” as official representatives of God’s Government and Kingdom on earth. (Matthew 6:10; Revelation 5:9, 10) These are the first to leave the Watchtower Society, the first to fully recognize that “reform” efforts are futile in God’s Eyes for the Jehovah’s Witnesses as an organization. In Bible prophecy, these ones are also called, the “Tents of Judah,” since they are “saved first” by God Himself. (Zechariah 12:7) Yes, the Watchtower Society and its Governing Body are now completely passed any point of repentance before God. The “Male Child” group can clearly see this, and so they leave the apostate organization of Jehovah’s witnesses behind. They are now willing to join the YORWW Arrangement, as God’s newly revealed, Beacon of Light for all who wish to please Jehovah. They now join the YORWW Arrangement, because they recognize it, as the Earthly Kingdom of God. -- Matthew 6:10; Daniel 2:44
