Earthquakes in the Lord's Day - Jehovah Does Some Shaking

 Such tremors in human affairs are the result of man's inability to direct his own step.  (Jeremiah 10:23)  Moreover, that old serpent, Satan, "who is misleading the entire inhabited earth,"  is inflicting woes in his last-ditch effort to turn all mankinde away from the worship  of Jehovah.  Modern technology has caused the earth to shrink into a single neighborhood, where nationalistic and racial hatreds  are sharing  human society to its foundations, and the United Nations, so-called, can find no effective cure. As never before, man is dominating man to his injury.  (Revelation 12:9, 12; Ecclesiastes 8:9)  Nevertheless, the Sovereign Lord Jehovah,  Maker of heaven and earth, has been doing his own kind of shaking for almost 90 years, in preparation for solving earth's problems once and for all.  How so?


At Haggai 2:6, 7 we read: "For ths is what Jehovah of armies said, 'Yet once-it is a little while-and I am rocking the heavens and the earth and the seaand the dry ground. And I will rock all the nations, and the desirable things of the nations must come in; and I will fill this house with glory,' Jehovah of armies has said."  Since the year 1919 in particular, Jehovah has caused his witnesses to proclaim his judgments among all elements of humans society on earth.  Satan's world system has been put on notice by this global warning.  As the warning intensifies, God-fearing humans, "the desirable things," have been stirred to separate themselves from the nations. It is not they are shaken out by the quaking in Satan's organization. But as they discern the situation, they make their own decision to share with the anointed John class in filling Jehovah's house of worship and glory.  His his this accomplished?  By the zealous work of preaching the good news of God's Kingdom.  (Mattthew 24:14)   This kingdom, made up of Jesus and his anointed followers, will ever keep standing to Jehovah's glory as "a kingdom that cannot be shaken." - HEBREWS  12:26-29.


Are you the one who has started to respond to that preaching?Are you perhaps among the millions who in recent years have attended the Memorial celebration of Jesus' death?  If so,keep on progressing in your study of Bible truth.  (2 Timothy 2:15; 3:16, 17) Abandon completely the corrupt lifestyle of Satan's doomed earthly society!  Come right up into the Christian new world society and share fully in its activity before the final catastrophic   "earthquake" smashes all of Satan's world to pieces. But what is that great earthquake?  Let us now see.
