Crystallization Study of Isaiah
From an email:
Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ! At the ITERO (International Training for Elders and Responsible Ones) this past weekend in Anaheim the brothers announced that the next two trainings (Summer and Winter) will be on the Crystallization Study of Isaiah. They encouraged us to read through the text of Isaiah, along with the footnotes, as many times as possible prior to the Summer Training. Brother Benson also suggested reading through the Life Study Messages of Isaiah as well. There are 54 messages, and if you were to read one message per day, you could read through the life studies two times before the training. At any rate, the brothers believe that if we get into the Bible text of Isaiah and the ministry material prior to the training, it will really enrich our experience of the training and help us get much more out of it. |

Re: Crystallization Study of Isaiah
This is from message 2, page 10
"Some of the people of Israel called good evil, and evil good (5:20). They made darkness light, and light darkness. They also made bitterness sweetness, and sweetness bitterness. They turned everything upside down." This is a picture in the recovery of speaking against certain quarantined brothers where everything is turned upside down. Someone would ask why I would say such a thing. My response, it's about the covering. In order to cover the work it was necessary to besmirch quarantined brothers. It would seem absurd, but it happens to be a picuture of Isaiah 5:20. Terry |

Re: Crystallization Study of Isaiah
Have you read the publications against concerned brothers of the late 1980's? In addition to what was spoken regarding the most recent quarantine.
What has happened to love? We need to love one another as ourselves. Terry |

Re: Crystallization Study of Isaiah
This is from message 2 Page 9:
Jehovah had made Israel a vineyard and had done everything that was needed for it. He looked for it to produce grapes, but it produced only wild grapes. He expected justice but beheld bloodshed. He expected rightousness but heard an outcry of distress. The distressed people cried out, and God heard them. Some of the people joined house to house and laid field to field, leaving no place for others and dwelling alone in the midst of the land (5:1-4, 7-8). Terry |
