Friday, November 29

Whoever blasphemes against the holy spirit has no forgiveness forever.—Mark 3:29.

 

Will the names of the great crowd of other sheep still be in the book of life after they survive Armageddon? Yes. (Rev. 7:14) Jesus said that these sheeplike ones will depart “into everlasting life.” (Matt. 25:46) But those Armageddon survivors will not immediately receive everlasting life. During the Thousand Year Reign, Jesus “will shepherd them and will guide them to springs of waters of life.” Those who respond positively to Christ’s guidance and are finally judged faithful to Jehovah will have their names recorded permanently in the book of life. (Rev. 7:16, 17) However, the goats will be destroyed at Armageddon. Jesus says that they “will depart into everlasting cutting-off.” (Matt. 25:46) Under inspiration, the apostle Paul tells us that “these very ones will undergo the judicial punishment of everlasting destruction.”—2 Thess. 1:9; 2 Pet. 2:9. w22.09 16 ¶7-8

One of the references for Mark 3 states this….
 

First-century Jewish religious leaders who maliciously opposed Jesus Christ were sinning against the holy spirit. They saw God’s spirit at work in Jesus as he performed miracles that honored Jehovah. Yet, these enemies of Christ attributed this power to Satan the Devil. According to Jesus, those who thus blasphemed against God’s holy spirit were thereby committing a sin that would not be forgiven in the present “system of things nor in that to come.”—Matthew 12:22-32.

 9. What is blasphemy, and what did Jesus say about it?

⁹ Blasphemy is defamatory, injurious, or abusive speech. Since the holy spirit has God as its Source, saying things against his spirit is the same as speaking against Jehovah. Unrepentantly resorting to speech of that kind is unforgivable. Jesus’ words about such sin show that Jesus is referring to those who willfully oppose the operation of God’s holy spirit. Because Jehovah’s spirit was at work in Jesus but his opposers ascribed this power to the Devil, they sinfully blasphemed against the spirit. Hence, Jesus declared: “Whoever blasphemes against the holy spirit has no forgiveness forever, but is guilty of everlasting sin.”—Mark 3:20-29.

 

 

Our United brotherhood and preaching work is a miracle in this day and age. Yet so many refuse to see it.
I’ve wondered if the way Jehovah separates us at the destruction of Babylon the Great will be so outstanding that it will not be able to be denied that we are his people. Much like the Israelites at the Red Sea. Another miracle.
So all those who hate us after that, would be those goat like and would resemble the Pharisees refusing to see the work of Jehovah’s Holy Spirit.
Those that finally notice the great miracle, will be the Rahab like ones who come with us because they finally see the difference. 
It sure will be interesting to see how Jehovah saves us during that initial phase of the GT.

Jesus said the deciding action of those condemned as ‘goats’ was the fact they would not help his brothers, the ‘least ones’.  Jesus assigned his brothers to do a preaching and teaching work worldwide (Matt 24:14 & 28:19,20).  The 'goats' refused to help.

 

Matt 25:41-46…”Then he will say to those on his left: ‘Go away from me, you who have been cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the Devil and his angels…. ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and did not minister to you?’  Then he will answer them, saying: ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of these least ones, you did not do it to me.’  These will depart into everlasting cutting-off"
