A beacon to be placed

Unfortunately, Jehovah God the Creator and Carer of his creatures had to see how the first man turned against him. After placing them out of the Garden of Eden, He hoped that man would learn lessons about how they had behaved.

In a way, our world came back to fall into the ‘darkness‘. The darkness in life that sin brought with it.

From the very beginning of man’s entry into this pitiful state in which he finds himself today, Jehovah gave man hope for enlightenment and announced his purpose for salvation. He provided some points of light. He gave His Word like a « torch » to shine the light on those who wished to hear.

Throughout the times, Jehovah indicated how crooked and twisted world society was built. He was also aware that man should learn to survive in this time frame and find the right way. This system of things would exist until Jehovah destroyed it through his anointed liberator. 3:15).

God has come to the aid of people continually and called them out of that world so that they would be free and separate themselves from doing a work that He had reserved for them. Although these people should not set up a government for themselves, this would not mean that there would be no government, because the society of the old world would continue without their support. Nor were they empowered to be an obstacle to or overthrow these world governments, or to attempt to patch up such systems in order to improve the fate of humanity. They realised that an attempt to do so would be doomed. More than this, such a renunciation of their separation from the old world would result in the knowledge and hope of Jehovah’s promised new world being darkened and extinguished among men. They were obliged to devote themselves perfectly to a work that is much grander, better, more resistant and more effective.

They had to walk with God, get to know His ways, and study His revealed promises of a better world, and preach about it to other people who needed such comfort. In the past, there are several people who testified before Jehovah. The information they provided was broadly a sketch of a government that will be governed directly by Jehovah God, the Creator and rightful Ruler.

So many centuries later, that beacon can still be observed. Several people have now resolved to grow together. Together they want to obtain God’s view that is much more exalted and that shows greater deliberation than ours, and His wisdom, as he views the world from His auspicious, exalted position.

For example, in Anderlecht there are people who have decided to study God’s Word together and serve God. They have expressed their willingness to gain knowledge about God. They are also aware that this knowledge of God’s purpose must be made a beacon of light, which will be seen by all people of good will.
