Dear Reader,
I want to give you some information concerning the Jehovah’s Witnesses:
The organisation:
The Jehovah´s Witnesses were founded
in 1874 by Charles Taze Russel in America. At the age of 22 he discovered the
“Plan of God with the humans” in the Bible . He believed that God chooses his
people to make the bond with them. The holy people are humans, who are chosen
from whole mankind by God. Russel thought he was chosen leader.
His community was subjected under
strong self-control and self-command. What the community decided was looked
upon as the will of God. If you didn't subordinated, you could get expelled by
them.
1876 Russel was elected to be the
minister of a Bible-circle, 1879 he published the journal “Zion´s Watch Tower“
and “Herald of Christ´s Presence“ and
founded 1881 the “Zion´s Watch Tower Tract Society“. In America the movement is
renamed in the year 1914 in “International Bible Students Association“.
The number of his followers grew,
because the organisation claimed to have calculated the returning of Jesus and
the end of the world out of the bible.
Russel died in 1916 and still the
world wasn't destroyed. A power struggle concerning his succession began which
follower Joseph Franklin Rutherford won. 1917 he published the 7th volume of scripture studies. He entitles them
“The Finished Mystery“. Rutherford changes the structure of the section. For
example he gets more power, heathen holidays, as Christmas, are forbidden etc.. 1927 the Blood- use- prohibition is made,
which led to the fact that they deny blood transfusions. Each member also has
to go from house to house to preach their teachings.
1931 the movement is renamed in
Jehovah´s Witnesses. As more and more members joined the organisation,
Rutherford said, that only 144.000 would enter Heaven while the rest of them
would enjoy the paradise here on earth. 1941 Rutherford died and his successor
was Nathan Homer Knorr. 1946 the first journal “Awake” is being published. 1977
Knorr died and his successor Frederic William Franz. He died 1992 and his
successor is Milton G. Henschel. The section is ruled by the president who is
elected for lifetime And under him there is the
„Leading corporation“ in which are 13 men.
Only 144.000 will enter Heaven:
They claim, because they read the
bible as the direct speech of God, that only 144.000 will enter heaven while
the rest of the section will enjoy paradise on earth in the hereafter. But the
section is existing over 100 years and has more than 5.000.000 members while
the number is rising. The problem is that, one day in the future arithmetically
there have to be more than 144.000 humans who deserve to get to heaven. Another
aspect is that I don't believe that God is so unjust al that even after
Armageddon the people are divided in two groups in which one of them is more
“elite” and “exclusive” than the other.
1874
In their journal “The Watchtower, 1923, No. 6,
page 88, they write that indisputable facts prove therefore, that the time of
the End began in the year 1799, that the Lord´s second presence began 1874 and
that the harvest followed on that and brighter light fell on the word of God.
1914
In their second volume of the scripture-studies
they write that in this chapter they provide the biblical proof that the total
End of times of the heathen (nations) that means the full end of their rule
will be established with the year 1914. (...) First that then the Kingdom of
God for which their Lord taught them to pray: “Your kingdom come” will achieve
full and universal world wide rule and “establishment” or fixed founded on
earth.
1915
In their “The new creation”, 1926,
page 578 they write that they hold for it that the fulfilment of Math. 21:21
will take place in the year 1915 and then under great distress the new world
order will be born.
1918
In their “The fulfilled secret”,
1917, page 152 they write that out of it, it results, that the hour of labour
for the nominal Zion, the Christian-Named, will fall probably on the year 1918
(...) namely seven years before 1925.
1925
In their journal “The Watchtower”
August 1922, they write that 1925 can not be doubted as well as the year 1914.
In their journal “The Watchtower”
January 1923 they write that the year 1925 is marked even sharper by the
scriptures, because it is fixed by the law which God gave the people of Israel.
1975
In their journal “Awake” April 1969
they write that in the most, it will take only a few years until God will
destroy the perishable system of things, which rules the world.
“This generation will not disappear....”
The relevant date for the present
time is 1914 and it is counted as the time of the invisible returning of Jesus,
but even these statements are subjected under permanent variations. Until the
01.11.1995 it was said that the generation of 1914 will experience Armageddon.
(...).
In their journal “Awake” April 1969
they write that Jesus obviously spoke about persons who were old enough to
experience the things which happened during the begin of “the last days” with consciousness. (...) If
they estimate, that 15 year old people had enough consciousness to understand
what happened 1914, the youngest of this generation were now about seventy
years old.
With these kinds of “precise
statements” you could always remove the battle of Armageddon for several years
and the single Jehovah´s Witness would not realise that he was betrayed again.
But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the son, but the father. (Mk 13:30ff; Mt 24:36)
But there were false prophets also
among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily
bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and shall
bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious
ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And though
covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose
judgement now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereeth
not. (2Peter 2:1-3) And he said, Take
heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am
Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. (Lk 21:8)
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep´s clothing, but inwardly
they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. (Mt 7:15/16) For
false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders
to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect. But take ye heed: behold, I
have foretold you all things. (Mk13:22/23)
Pay attention on some quotations from
the New Testament:
“Go not
into the way of the gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:
But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” (Mt 10:5)
If they believe the bible and even take it as a spoken Word of God then
they are only allowed to mission Jews.
Because Jesus was only send to the Jews:
I was only sent to the lost sheep of
the house of Israel. (Mt 15:24)
And when he was alone, they that were
about him with the twelve asked of him the parable. And he said unto them, Unto
you it is given to know the mystery of the Kingdom of God: but unto themall
that are without , all these things are done in parables: That seeing they may
see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at
any time they should be converted, and their sin should be forgive them. (Mk
4:10-12)
contradictions in the Old Testament:
Satan
provoked David against Israel and ordered him to go and number Israel.
God
provoked David against Israel, and said: Go number them.
2 Sam 10:18
David slew seven hundred chariots of the Syrians.
1 Chr. 19:18
(...) David slew seven thousand chariots of the Syrians.
(In
that time the cipher “zero” was unknown. It was invented later by the Indians.
That means the authors had to write the number as a word. But the word “seven
hundred” is not identical with the word “seven thousand”)
Contradictions in the N.T.:
According Mt 1:16 the father of
Joseph was “Jacob”.
But according Lk 3:23 was the father
of Joseph “Eli”.
According Lk 5:1 and Mt 4:18 the
wonder of the fishes happened in the Beginning of Jesus´ mission.
But according to Joh 21:14 after his
resurrection.
Mt 28:16
Jesus appeared to the eleven after he rose again.
1 Kor 15:4/5
Jesus appeared to the twelve after he rose again.
Have I not chosen you twelve, and
one of you is a Devil?
Mt 19:28
You which followed me in the
regeneration, when the son of man sit in the throne of his glory, you shall
also sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
(According
this quotation, the devil Judas Iscariot will also have a throne for judging
too.)
If I bear witness of myself, my
witness is not true.
Joh 8:14
If I
bear record of myself, yet my record is true.
Examine their bible:
How
actual is the N.T.?
1 Cor
13:9/10
For we know in part, and we prophesy
in part.
But when that which is perfect is
come,
then that which is in part shall be
done away.
You can't say that the New Testament
is being mentioned with this part of the letter, because then it had to be
written in the old Testament. Only then the New Testament would have been menat
with the “the perfect”. But because this is written in the New Testament, with
“the perfect” a new religion is being meant. A religion which came after this
letter has been written.
Could the Islam been meant with it?
Jehovah or Allah – what is his name?
Now we want to examine their name “Jehovah“:
Before the 16th century,
this word was not spoken or written. The word consisted of the letters
Y.H.W.H.. The speaking of the word was forbidden. If some one did it, he had to
die. That is why the word was changed into “Elohim“ and this 6823 times. These
4 letters are called “Tetragrammaton“. “Tetra“ is Greek and means “4“.
“Grammaton“ is also Greek and means “Letter”. That means therefore
“Four-Letter-Word“.
Can you make out of “YHWH“
“Jehovah“? No. You have to add vowels. But which and in which combination? The
Jews wanted with their “Four-Letter-Word” to reach, that they do not know how
his name was spoken. Imagine, we solved the problem, and “YHWH“ turns into
“Yehovah“. But still it is impossible to get “Jehovah“. Because apart of the
“v” and “h” in the end the “Y” is disturbing.
But the European Christian had an
aim to change things. In this case the “Y” to “J”:
Yael to Joel, Yehuda to Juda,
Yeheshua to Josua, Yusuf to Josef, Yunus to Jonas, Yehowah to Jehova.
Arabic and Hebrew are both Semitic
languages. Both have the same source.
The word “YHWH“ appears in the Old
Testament 6823 times. And always in connection with Elohim. It was therefore
always: YHWH/Elohim.
In Hebrew it is Yahuwa
Im Arabic it is Ya Huwa
Both means the same: Hu or Huwa
means “He”.
“Ya“ is an exclamation and means
“Oh!“.
So “YHWH/Elohim“ means : Oh! He
Elohim.
The Suffix „im“ of the word “Elohim“
is in Hebrew a plural form of respect.
So up to now, it means: Elohim =
Eloh + im
Now let us compare:
Hebrew:
“Yahuwa/Eloh + im“: = Oh! He Eloh.
Arabic: “Ya Huwa/Allah + im“ = Oh! He Allah, as in the Quran:
“Qul huwal lah hu ahad“
“Speak: He is Allah, the (one) God.”
(Sura 112:1)
Do not forget, that the both
languages have the same roots!
“Eloh“ and “Allah“ represent the
same.
The same game in the NT.:
There we find:
“Eloi, Eloi, lama Sabachtani?“ (MK 15:34)
It means: My God , my God, why has
you left me?
This is a Greek translation, which
is being used according to Mark.
The gospel according to Matthew is
being written in Hebrew, because (according to the church) Matthew was a
Hebrew. In the gospel it is therefore written:
“Eli, Eli, lama sabachtani.“
(The “L” and “i” is spoken short and
sharp.)
Now does “Eli, Eli“ sound like
“Jehovah, Jehovah“, or as “Abba, Abba“?
No.
Is he not calling Allah?
“Eli, Eli“,
“Allah, Allah“.
The second example:
“Alleluia“ is a term which is to be
found in the revelation in chapter 19.
If Christians are exited ands happy,
then they shout: “Alleluia“.
If Muslims are exited and happy,
then they shout: “Allahu akbar“.
“Ya“ is an exclamation, meaning
“Oh!“ And at the end of a term in the Hebrew and Arabic language, there is
always a “!”.
If you want to speak the exclamation
“ALLELUIA“ as a Hebrew or an Arabic, then this has to happen:
ALLE - LU - YA!
YA - ALLE - LU!
And out of that:
YA - ALLAH - HU!
Which means in Arabic:
Oh Allah! (You are the only one, who
deserve praise and honour.)
If “Jehovah“ is not God, and “Jesus Christ“ is no God, why can it not be,
that God is “Allah”, and these both terms are only faking of his true name.
