The Watchtower Society and Revelation 22:12

Presented in this short video is a history of the Watchtower Society's interpretation of Revelation 22:12, which reads:

"Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done".

Please verify ALL quotes that I present just as I have done. Most can be found on the Watchtower library CD but for the ones that cannot, such as the missing Awake! magazine articles that are conspicuous by their own absence, and of course the older books such as Light!, scans are presented of such publications.

Following are the list of quoted publications in the video:

Light! (1930) P.268 =Jesus
Watchtower Jan 1, 1953 P.31 = Jehovah
Watchtower July 1, 1955 P.387 = Jesus
Awake! June 8, 1966 P.28 = An Angel
Watchtower November 15, 1967 P.680 = Jehovah
Watchtower October 1, 1978 P15 = Jesus
Awake August 22, 1978 P28 = Jehovah
Revelation Grand Climax 1988 P316 = Jehovah
Revelation Grand Climax 1988 P319 = Jesus
Watchtower December 1, 1999 P19 = Jehovah
Watchtower December 15, 2003 P21 = Jesus

@ruffaz24

Other than the video being 'pure regurgitating vomit!', what parts do you not agree with?

[Hardz07JW]

ALPHA AND OMEGA

These are the names of the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet and are used as a title three times in the book of Revelation. The additional occurrence of this phrase in the King James rendering of Revelation 1:11, however, does not receive support from some of the oldest Greek manuscripts, including the Alexandrine, Sinaitic, and Codex Ephraemi rescriptus. It is, therefore, omitted in many modern translations.

@Hardz07JW

Relevance? 

[utubehound69]

@SmokyMtnMan6593 YES JW's THIS is TRUE but don't belive Smokymtnman6593 Don't belive me or the Watchtower RESEARCH the Watchtower be like the Berens and see if the things the WT are telling you are true Paul commended them so if the man who penned 2/3rd's of the New Testement said this was a good thing how are the GOV BODY above Apostle Paul?

@badwingduck1 : No, you are saying these things, not me. The fact that you can't wrap your head around it, doesn't make it not so.

Jesus was fully man and thus needed to be treated like and act like a man in every way, yet posses Deity in every way.

He is NOT the Father, He IS the Son, yet if you see Him you see the Father, an exact representation, equal in every way except authority.

Not that big a leap unless you are blinded by unbelief and bad doctrine.

[badwingduck1]

@badwingduck1 4th century A.D. to be more precise. Wow!! That sounds like a pretty derelict god to me...alzheimer's perhaps??? Jesus is as the bible repeatedly states he is...God's son period. Jehovah's Witnesses worship a God that they know...Jehovah... he does not and cannot lie, and he doesn't walk around talking to himself either.

[badwingduck1]

@badwingduck1 all the apostles dropped dead the moment they laid eyes on him, thus making any scripture accredited to them spurious, and worse of all you are saying that God lied to us, because instead of giving up his only begotten son for us in order to be saved he gave himself up instead!!! Oh and let's not forget that God also taught himself to be obedient to himself. What a bunch of lies that can only come from a trinitarian God that has been lying to us for centuries since about the (next)

[badwingduck1]

@abbyguy So You say Jesus is God, right???Well then that means that you are saying the following: God required himself to be baptised, God approved himself as his only son, God allowed satan to tempt himself to prove his loyalty to himself, God asked himself for permission to do things, God died and then raised himself from the dead even though he was still dead, God walked around talking to himself constantly (prayer), since "no man may see God and yet live" then you are also saying that (next)

[HeavenClear]

@ruffaz24 but Jehovah´s Witnesses say that Jehovah is a Liar themselves. Look, they say that everything was created through the "agency" of Jesus, right? But "Jehovah" or better YHWH says: "It is I who made the earth, and created man upon it. I stretched out the heavens with MY HANDS" (isaiah 45:12) & "I, the LORD, am the maker of all things, Stretching out the heavens by Myself And spreading out the earth ALL ALONE" (isaiah 44:24) - so, here again WT says YHWH is a LIAR, or how wd u interpret?

@abbyguy: When it all comes down to it, the WBTS is a dragnet just like the churches. And first century christians needed to use the bible to help then reason or think. Somehow it's a sin for WBTS to give commentary on the bible?

[abbyguy]

@teflonfanatic In rebuttal. You JW's are so biased instead of refuting an argument you insult. Neener neener neener...see...Sounds just as silly when I do it as you do when you do it.

READ THE BIBLE!!!

Put down the WBTS literature and just READ the bible. You don't need someone telling you what to think, the first century Christians didn't.

It's all there for those who really truly want the truth...and it WILL set you free.

[abbyguy]

@Hardz07JW : How does that change anything? Jesus is STILL Jehovah without using Revelation 1:11 What's your point please?

[abbyguy]

@ruffaz24 : Silly boy. Rather than resorting ad-homs why don't you "TRY" and reason this out with the scriptures. But I suppose that's what one does when they are cornered and CAN"T answer the question. You call people names and use bluster as if that will work...YA RIGHT! Hey news flash Jesus IS Jehovah. It's as plain as the Nose on your face. As long as you shun the truth you will be in darkness. To "see" the truth you MUST be born again the you will comprehend what was once a mystery to you.

[abbyguy]

Bravo!! Excellent work!
