  CHAPTER 8

  “I Will Raise Up One Shepherd”

“David My Servant Will Be Their Chieftain Forever”

If this prophecy shows us that Jehovah has always wanted his worshipers to serve him together and united.

And how did he keep his promise?

One such fulfillment was in 537 BC when God restored the nation of Israel back together in the promised land. 

And although it was initially fulfilled at that time this unit was only a small preview of what will be much more impressive and lasting very soon when the kingdom of God did.

One of those aspects mentions that it will be a permanent government, that is to say that in this prophecy expressions are used forever and eternal that implies that the blessings of this kingdom will never end forever.

Yes, this government will also have unity because only one king will make all those who live will have the same laws, the same judicial decisions and will live on earth.

Yes because this kingdom will be designed to draw closer to Jehovah we are designed to depend on him so everything that this kingdom does according to Ezekiel 37:22 says that we will not be divided but only as a people or as a family we will worship Jehovah.

If it also makes me see that in the kingdom of God there are no hierarchies, it does not mean that those who have a position are going to do what they want and those who do not have any position the subjects because more will be required of them, no, it really is a unity both in the kingdom of God and those who will be under that kingdom.

If, in addition, currently we cannot feel close to any government or ruler, but how different will the government of God be, which makes it possible for his subjects to feel closer to him. 

If in 1919 the faithful Christians were gathered under the authority of their only pastor the Messianic King Jesus Christ and later a great crowd also joined the Anointed brothers to establish this government.

It is indeed a great privilege to be part of this kingdom subjects while some anointed ones are still on earth giving direction to the activities assigned by their good King together we consider ourselves one flock we live under one shepherd and that already gives us a glimpse of what we can expect in the new world.

And something that can be highlighted is that no matter what hope we have, be it heavenly or earthly, we will all obey the same judicial decisions and the statutes that Jehovah gives us, this allows us to follow the same direction but he also allows us to live in a spiritual paradise forming a United family.

We can see the contrast that we live here in Jehovah’s people with the nations in these difficult times as they struggle to reach an agreement but we live in a spiritual paradise we enjoy having friends all over the world and having this spiritual food that Jehovah It gives us all to be able to worship Jehovah in peace and to know that he is here with us that is a great privilege for one.

And we are also very proud to serve Jehovah because sometimes one turns governments around and may feel perhaps disappointed because they do not keep promises or do not treat people as they should, however in the reign mentioned in this prophecy we have seen fulfilled because we see that the people of God have benefited with peace, that is, we have a beautiful singular pure adoration and we feel very proud to be Jehovah’s Witnesses and serve a God who continues to care for us and help us even in moments like those we are all facing the pandemic. 

First Corinthians 1:10 encourages us to speak in agreement that we act in agreement that we do not have a spirit of contradiction with each other, which means that by becoming servants of God we accept the commitment to promote the unity of remaining united to give in if that is necessary according to our preferences. 

And we can do our bit to even feed on the same spiritual delicacies if we follow the same biblical standards and behavior and preach that alone is contributing to the unity of the congregation.

If it is very important that we show so much love in our meetings when we help people in the Ministry, this is a quality that should be displayed in us.

If there are in Colossians 3: 12 to 14 we see the facets of love, this will help us know how to act, for example, if a disagreement arises with one of our brothers due to imperfection, this will allow us to put aside our own feelings and it will help us to solve the problems that we have with love and this will be to keep the congregation united

ILLUSTRATION

In the illustration that appears here we find different ways in which we can show love in the congregation, we see a brother who is preaching with an older sister, now we have the opportunity to meet for the preaching and together with our brothers participate in it in the another we see brothers of different colored races because we also want from our hearts to love our brothers regardless of their skin color or race. 

Yes, seeing how everything that Jehovah promised throughout this time has been fulfilled makes me feel a lot of gratitude and complete trust in Jehovah because just as it has happened throughout this time in the future everything that Jehovah has also promised without doubt it will be fulfilled.

Yes it also makes us have a lot of confidence because we know that Jesus Christ as the king of this government is someone who has shown the right to be our ruler and also during his ministry on earth he showed a lot of love with passion for people so we know that he will be a wonderful ruler. 

BOX 8B

1st Prophecy

If this prophecy covers from the years 607 before the common era to 1914 and it began to be fulfilled when in 607 King Zedekiah was removed from the throne of Jehovah on earth.

If in 1914 is when the one who has the legal right returns because from that year 607 there was no King in Israel, in 1914 what is it when Jesus Christ is enthroned in heaven and becomes king and shepherd and due to his line that came from David he had the legal right and becomes king. 

2nd Prophecy

Well this prophecy says that the king Jesus Christ or the king that Jehovah has appointed was going to feed and shepherd his sheep and precisely in the line we see that in 1919 with this objective the faithful and prudent slave is appointed to take care of God’s sheep and under the direction of Pastor Jesus Christ has cared for us ever since.

Something that distinguishes this government is unity and we see how that was accomplished when the faithful anointed under the authority of this King also joined a great crowd, so here we see the unity of both the anointed and the great crowd.

We can also highlight that despite the fact that a physical king was removed here on earth we have not stopped receiving spiritual food care that is why in the time line after Armageddon we will still continue to enjoy the blessings of this government that it is Jesus who is in charge.

3rd Prophecy

Well, as we have been analyzing this, it has a lot to do with our times with the last days but that it covers towards the end, how you can see there in the green line it is seen that it covers from the year 1914 onwards until reaching after Armageddon. because it was emphasized right now in some points such as the blessing of this King not only this unity that we have today but later that we will have after Armageddon will be forever and his government will also bring eternal blessings that will help us all.
