THE SLAVES USE THE TALENTS IN THE TIME OF THE END

The first two slaves who used their master's money well, refer to the faithful anointed brothers and sisters during the time of the end. Especially since 1919, they have been doing their best in the preaching  work. In the parable, each of the two slaves received a different amount of money, but this does not mean that there are two different groups of faithful anointed ones. Both slaves worked hard and doubled the money. But are the anointed the only ones who must work hard in the preaching and teaching work?  No. Jesus' parable of the sheep and the goats teaches us that those who hope to live forever on earth must help his anointed brothers with the preaching work and be loyal to them.  They feel that it is an honor to help them. Yes, Jehovah's people are "one flock," and they all work hard to preach  and make disciples. -John 10:16. 

Jesus expects all his followers to work hard to make more disciples.That is what his disciples did in the first century.  In this time of the end, when Jesus' parable about the talents is being fulfilled, are his followers doing this work?  Yes, never before have so many people heard the good news and become disciples! Because of the hard work that is being done by all of Jesus' followers, hundreds of thousands of people are getting baptized each year. And they too join in the preaching work. All this activity and the good results clearly show that the preaching work is an important part of the sign Jesus gave about the time of the end. No doubt, Jesus is pleased with his workers!
