Christ Jesus' Action, when He Returns!

 

Question: Jehovah’s Witnesses.  Is it possible that Christ is not the male child born from the woman in Revelation 12 who will shepherd the nations with an iron rod?  Could this be Jehovah’s final prophet because of what Revelation 2:26-28 says?

 

No; because in v.27, the words “My Father” give the answer!  I.e. “My” is capitalized.  Therefore the Speaker in the first person is Christ Jesus!

Extract from Rev. 2 study:

V.26 And he that (a)Overcometh, and keepeth My works unto the end, to him will I (b)give power over the Gentiles.

(a) The Overcoming in this case, is not submitted to Jezebel's teaching, ways and force.

(b) One of the future roles of the Millennial Israel, as a "Kingdom of Priests", (Ex. 19:6 and Rev. 1:6).  The fact of their rule over "The Gentiles", shows again the people referred to are Jews!

V. 27 And (a)He shall rule them with a rod (a)sceptre, staff of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to (b)shivers: as I also have received of My Father.

(a) These Overcoming Thyatirians and certainly all the Ecclesia that make up "Jeshuran”, (upright); will be given ruling powers (sceptre) over Nations in the Millennial.  They will have authority to rule strictly (iron).

(b) "Shivers"; or small pieces.  This certainly means the old ways of the Nations will be forcibly destroyed, and the new standards of the Millennium will be set up.

V.28 And I will give him the (a)morning star.

(a) The morning star referred to in Balaam's 4th pronouncing, (Num. 24:17).  This refers to Messiah, the Hebrew is "kokab" (Comp.) Rev. 22:16.  Again confirming the Jewish context!
