WatchTower
doctrines give more importance to the shadow than to the reality.
In
the 1914 doctrine the Society cites 1 Chronicles 29:23 that reads:
'And
Solomon began to sit upon Jehovah’s throne as king in place
of David his father'
The
WT uses it saying that after 607 BCE, with the destruction of
Jerusalem, Jehovah's throne became vacant or unoccupied during a
period of 2520 years.
As
I will demonstrate here, WatchTower doctrines gives more importance
to the shadow than the reality.
I
will prove using Scriptures that Jehovah gave His Throne to Jesus even in the first century:
When
Jesus walked on earth he said:
Luke
11:31 look! something more than Solomon is here.
Yes,
Jesus The King, more than Solomon:
For
everyone who was an Israelite for a certainty ,in whom there is no
deceit, there was a King after 607 BCE:
John
1:47,49
“See,
an Israelite for a certainty, in whom there is no deceit.”
Nathanael
answered him: “Rabbi, you are the Son of God, you are King of
Israel.”
Jesus,
The King of Israel, was a King greater than Solomon, David, Hezekiah,
Jehoshaphat, Joshua:
Luke
11:31 look! something more than Solomon is here.
John
7:29 “I know him, because I am a representative from him,
and that One sent me forth.”
Did
Solomon say that?
Colossians
2:17 for those things [Solomon, David, Hezekiah, Jehoshaphat, Joshua]
are a shadow of the things to come, but the reality belongs to the
Christ.
Did
Jesus sit in upon Jehovah’s throne? Where?
When?
Solomon,
David, Hezekiah, Jehoshaphat, Joshua had sat in the shadow of
Jehovah's throne.
‘The
heaven is Jehova's throne' - Acts 7:49
Jesus
sat in the TRUE/REAL throne of God, in heaven:
Acts
2:34 Actually David did not ascend to the heavens, but he himself
says, ‘Jehovah said to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand,
35 until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet.”’ 36
Therefore let all the house of Israel know for a certainty that God
made him both Lord [KING] and Christ, this Jesus whom YOU impaled.”
Solomon, David, Hezekiah, Jehoshaphat, Joshua had sat in the shadow of Jehovah's throne.
But the reality belongs to the Christ.
Solomon, David, Hezekiah, Jehoshaphat, Joshua had sat in the shadow of Jehovah's throne.
But the reality belongs to the Christ.
1
Peter 3:21,22
Jesus
Christ. He is at God’s right hand, for he went his way to
heaven; and angels and
authorities and powers were made subject to him.
Did
Jehovah ever say such things to Solomon, David, Hezekiah,
Jehoshaphat, Joshua??
““Jesus,
Sit at my right hand” - upon Jehovah's throne
(Rev 3:21)
Did
Solomon, David, Hezekiah,
Jehoshaphat, Joshua go to heaven and angels
and authorities and powers
were made subject to them??
As
I said, WatchTower doctrines gives more importance to the shadow than
to the reality.
Philippians
2:9 For this very reason also God exalted him to a superior
position and kindly gave him the name that is above every
[other] name, 10 so that in the name of Jesus every knee
should bend of those in heaven and those on earth and those under
the ground, 11 and every tongue should openly acknowledge that
Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.
Should
we bend our knee in the name of Solomon??
Should
angels in heaven bend their knee in the name of Solomon??
the
reality belongs to Jesus Christ
every
tongue should openly acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord [King of
heaven] to the glory of God the Father
“God
exalted him”
Hebrews
12:2 as we look intently at the Chief Agent [King] and Perfecter of
our faith,Jesus. For the joy that was set before him he endured a
torture stake, despising shame, and has sat down at the right hand
of the throne of God.
Jesus
has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Rev
3: 21 To the one that conquers I will grant to sit down with me on my
throne, even as I conquered and sat down with my Father on his
throne.
John
16:33 "I have conquered the world.”
The
one who sat down in the Throne is called King – to be enthroned –
to sit in the throne.
Jehovah
exalted Jesus as King of The Kingdom of the Heaven – long before
1914.
Colossians
2:10 And so YOU are possessed of a fullness by means of him [Jesus],
who is the head of all government and authority.
Colossians
3:1 If, however, YOU were raised up with the Christ, go on seeking
the things above, where the Christ is seated at the right hand of
God. [as King]
Jehovah
gave the rulership of the Kingdom of heaven to Jesus when Jesus
ascend to heaven – there was no vacancy during 2520 years.
Ephesians
1:20 with which he has operated in the case of the Christ when he
raised him up from the dead and seated him at his right hand in
the heavenly places, 21 far above every government and
authority and power and lordship+ and every name named, not only in
this system of things, but also in that to come. 22 He
also subjected all things under his feet, and made him head over all
things to the congregation, 23 which is his body, the fullness of him
who fills up all things in all.
Did
Jehovah make such things for Solomon, David, Hezekiah, Jehoshaphat,
Joshua??
“and
seated Jesus at his right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far
above every government and authority and power and lordship and every
name named, not only in this system of things, but also in
that to come.”
The
Shadow: 1 Chronicles 29:23 that reads:
'And
Solomon began to sit upon Jehovah’s throne as king
in place of David his father'
The
Reality: Jesus King of The Kingdom of Heaven
'And
Jesus began to sit upon Jehovah’s throne as king
in the heavenly places,
21 far above every government and authority and power and
lordship and every name named, not only in this system of things,
but also in that to come.
God
exalted Jesus to a superior position and kindly gave him the name
that is above every [other] name, 10 so that in the name of Jesus
every knee should bend of those in HEAVEN and those on earth and
those under the ground, 11 and every tongue should openly acknowledge
that Jesus Christ is Lord [KING] to the glory of [Jehovah] God the
Father
There
is no place in the Scriptures that affirm that Jesus became King of
the Kingdom of Heaven ONLY in 1914 after 2520 years.
1914
is an eisegesis - a man made doctrine.
The
Bible exegesis is crystal clear, plainly simple: Jesus was enthrone
by Jehovah as King of The Kingdom of Heaven after Jesus ascending to
heaven.
WatchTower
doctrines gives more importance to the shadow than to the reality.
Reality: The Kingdom of heaven belongs to our Lord [King,Kaiser, August, Emperor] Jesus, since first century a.D, to the glory of Jehovah
John 5:23 in order that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He that does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.
Honor the King Jesus! to the glory of the Father!! (1 Peter 2:17, Rev 1:5)
'nobody can say: “Jesus is Lord!” except by holy spirit.' (1 Corinthians 12:3)
