Jehovah – The Trust
Psalm 4:5
“Sacrifice the sacrifices of righteousness, And trust in Jehovah.”
It’s good to associate with those who are honestly trying to find the complete truth, and to live by it. It’s even better when the whole truth of the bible’s central objective, theme and meaning is fully known by this group. The years of searching and knocking it is true, the door of truth has been opened to Jehovah’s witnesses by God who alone is the Master of his own “sacred secret” and the Truth. The GB, the remnant, and the collective flock try to do these things in spite of weakness, errors, and imperfection. So do all Jehovah’s witnesses of the entire flock now gaining accurate knowledge of truth through Jehovah’s central channel of enlightenment. It was guaranteed by God that He would fulfill a composite slave of faith, for a truth objective:
(Matthew 24:44-47) On this account you too prove yourselves ready, because at an hour that you do not think to be it, the Son of man is coming. 45 “Who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time? 46 Happy is that slave if his master on arriving finds him doing so. 47 Truly I say to you, He will appoint him over all his belongings.
(Revelation 1:1) A revelation by Jesus Christ, which God gave him, to show his slaves the things that must shortly take place.
Therefore the “slave” is going to understand the truth from God, we can trust in this from God’s power, nit human, though employing human slaves into the class of the faithful and discreet slave.
Eventually Jehovah clarifies the core, needed truths, the theme of the bible, the purpose of God’s will, and how that will eventually take over this planet earth, as it has in heaven, to a complete conquest of Jesus, and only one spirit, a holy spirit, influencing the entire planet and mankind.
No more error, for the 144,000 will eventually be in pristine spirit form, immortal and incorruptible. That is the finality, of what God, the prophets, Jesus, the apostles, and the imperfect humans to follow them would come to in time. Patience.
So, in the meantime, a great core theme has developed, all the main mysteries of the sacred secret and other features of God’s Kingdom and this world’s prophetic destiny, are in full, global light.
Minute details, and there are many which arise, can be overcome by realizing one thing.
Important: God in the Bible is called also, The Trust, the only one called that. In the bible, GOD directs humans to trust ONLY Jehovah, not fallible humans. It also directs mankind to trust the one, who made Jehovah his ONLY trust, Jesus Christ. The bible NEVER teaches trust in others, or even self.
We give consideration, and extra honor to those taking the lead, but we do NOT give trust to them, for the bible NEVER has directed human trust to earthling man.
In fact, God directs trust AWAY from humans, away from nobles (ps146:3), human power (Is31:1; 36:4), idols (Isa42:17), human assumption (Jer7:4), brother (Jer9:4), lies (Jer13:25), man (Jer17:5), riches/works (Jer48:7), position (Eze 16:15), friends (Mic7:5), ourselves (2Cor1:9).
NOT once, does God direct trust to human beings, he even tells humans not to trust in themselves, so how is it a human can direct the trust of others to himself? He should not. As a class though, the faithful and discreet slave is guaranteed by God’s holy spirit to complete as it’s definition describes it, faithful to God, Christ and the Kingdom truth. In this was a faithful and discreet slave class can be trusted as a whole, because it is a prophetic truth that it, as sure as the evil slave class, will be present and operative in the ‘time of the end’. Individually as Adamic humans though, Jesus and Jehovah never directed faith in humans, and trust is a feature of faith. We trust God will fulfill the ministerial work of the good news of the Kingdom through an organized group of anointed Christians.
Realistically is how we view fellow humans, we respect the Governing Body of anointed elders, the brothers, in fact all humans, but we appreciate certain humans have made God THE priority of their lives, and we consider it, contemplate how their faith turns out, but we do not just trust any human, we are realistic as to our sinful Adamic nature. We trust when God says He will complete the ministry with full awareness of the accurate knowledge of biblical truth, He will do it through the agency He previously provided prophecy to do so.
The faithful and discreet slave as a class, is identified by Jesus Christ in prophecy to fulfill the description’s characteristics as a class. So it is guaranteed by God that this class would arise and be trustworthy not from the human point of definition, but from the fact the anointed in the last century ministry would be guided for a purpose of the good news of the Kingdom preaching work worldwide. That would be guaranteed to complete by God by his spirit using humans, but not on account of humans. For this reason the class fulfillment of that prophecy and the manifestation of this group is trustworthy because God has spoken it.
As with Judas Iscariot among the 12 apostles he was simply removed, the first manifestation of a composite group of Jesus foundational 12 stones of his Kingdom continued. Though this can be applied in principle, it is not the faithful and discreet slave class itself who would be appointed by Christ in the final ministry. Yet it is guaranteed a single human defection or more, cannot stop the faithful and discreet class from it’s mission, just as surely as the 12 apostles with the faithful replacement for Judas, also completed their mission, and will continue to do so in that Kingdom, were both classes unite in reality.
Heb13:7
“Remember those who are taking the lead among YOU, who have spoken the word of God to YOU, and as YOU contemplate how [their] conduct turns out imitate [their] faith.”
We believe the anointed brothers and others in the faith and truth are a good example, but we cannot put over emphasis on opinion separate from the bible, so we trust God and Jesus ALONE individually. We trust they will fulfill the Kingdom class, and the Kingdom reality, and all other statements of God through Christ and the prophets and his apostles and anointed disciples. To the particle of the letter in fact, as Jesus stated, meaning even greater fulfillment than is stated will be accomplished in details and actuality beyond any limited human’s understanding.
This will put people in proper perspective, as fellow workers with God – yet still in Adamic limitation.
(John 2:24-25) But Jesus himself was not entrusting himself to them because of his knowing them all 25 and because he was in no need to have anyone bear witness about man, for he himself knew what was in man.
We make a vow to God, no human but Jesus can intercede for us. Jehovah makes his own judgment, he does not consult with flesh and blood to find out what we have been up to, he knows beyond ear and eye, what we are about.
Trust in Jehovah, keep the unity, and keep US humans in OUR place, that’s the bible’s truth. Obviously though the brothers are a good example, we must consider with bible wisdom, as good examples, and hopefully not bad. We build God’s discernment, by trusting fully, only, in Jehovah and Jesus the ONLY perfect example.
We must respect that he is revealing his truth through the last of the anointed.
