GOD'S ARRANGEMENT - THE SPIRITUAL TEMPLE (NOT Watchtower's "arrangement")


Jesus drew a parallel between the physical structure of Jerusalem and his body (John 2:13-22). Each body member is an individual part of the “body of Christ” [Christ means anointed] who remain faithfully attached to their head, Jesus, speaking his truth in love (1 Cor.12:12,27; Rom.12:4-5; Eph.4:4,11-16; Rom.15:5-6). 


Each faithful body member is individually, a “living stone” and together, comprise the bride of Christ - constructing the spiritual House of God, New Jerusalem with teachings of the truth of life (John 2:13-22; 14;6; 6:63; 1 Cor.12:27; Rom.12:5; 1 Cor.3:16-17; 6:19; 3:9; 1 Pet.2:5; Eph.2:20-22; Rev.21:2; Acts 7:49-51).


The bridegroom, Jesus, the cornerstone of the temple, is in union with his faithful bride members, living stones of the New Jerusalem, and bring blessings…life to those who listen to their voice (Eph.5:23,32,30,26-27; Rev.21:6; 22:17; John 6:63). Anointed by God’s Spirit, faithful bride members are spiritual priests who offer sacrifices, speaking the unchanging truthful sayings of Jesus, their head (2 Cor.1:21-22; Rom.5:5; 1 Pet.2:5,9; Num.18:7; Mal.2:7; Heb.13:15; Rev.1:6). The Spirit of truth, the Spirit of God teaches faithful spiritual priests, giving them inspiration, because, being inspired means to inhale/breathe in God’s Spirit and so understand His words of Spirit - the parables Jesus spoke (Matt.13:10; Luke 8:10; 1 John 2:27; John 15:5-8; Luke 9:11; John 1:1,14; 14:6; 6:63; Job 33:4; 32:8).

"By their fruits you will know them" (Matt.7:15-20)

For your convenience, the text within this illustration is provided below so you can hover the cursor over or lightly tap a scripture reference to see the verse pop-up.  Viewing this on a phone? Rotating your screen may help viewability.

False prophets give the appearance of being righteous, meek-like sheep, humbly following their master (Matt.24:24,11; 7:15; John 10:7,14). Inside their hearts however, they are extortioners who are filled with hypocrisy and disregard for God’s law (Matt.23:25,28; 2 Pet.2:1-3). Easy to immediately spot? No, because they present as ministers of righteousness, and no wonder…their father, the original serpent/deceiver also appears as an angel of light (2 Cor.11:13-15; 1 John 4:1; Matt.23:27,33; John 8:44; Rev.12:9).

So, how can you discern what is inside the heart of a person?  By examining their teachings, their fruit (Luke 6:45; Matt.7:15-20; 1 Thess.5:21; Deut.18:20-22; 1 John 4:1; Titus 1:2; Num.23:19; John 8:44).  Jesus is truth and his words are Spirit (John 14:6; 6:63). Using his words of Spirit will enable you to distinguish what type of tree you are picking fruit from and eat (John 1:1,14; Heb.4:12; Matt.7:15-20; Prov.18:21). Good trees produce good fruit that lasts, but bad trees produce bad fruit, teachings that change and rot over time (John 15:9-10,5-6; 1 John 2:20,27; Matt.12:33; 7:18,20; 15-7-9; Prov.18:21).

I invite you to reference this illustration as you examine the scriptures. Words and the organs used to speak with are spiritual symbols that help us to discern the leaders of Watchtower are the false prophet and they have deceived man, even the anointed (Prov.18:20; Luke 6:45; Matt.7:15-20; Jer.5:26; Psalm 64:2-3; 55:12-13,21; Jer.9:3-6,8; Psalm 140:3; Matt.12:34; Gen.3:1-4; Prov.18:21; John 6:63; 15:5,4; Matt.12:37; 24:4; 1 Tim.4:1; 1 Thess.5:21; Matt.24:5).
