[QUOTE="RickG, post: 2184885, member: 279935"] I think that you are trying to turn a judgment message into a prophesy. (Ezekiel 4:4-7) 4*“And as for you, lie upon your left side, and you must lay the error of the house of Israel upon it. For the number of the days that you will lie upon it you will carry their error. 5*And I myself must give to you the years of their error to the number of three hundred and ninety days, and you must carry the error of the house of Israel. 6*And you must complete them. “And you must lie upon your right side in the second case, and you must carry the error of the house of Judah forty days. A day for a year, a day for a year, is what I have given you. 7*And to the siege of Jerusalem you will fix your face, with your arm bared, and you must prophesy against it. This is from the "The Nations Shall Know I am Jehovah" - How? *** kj chap. 6 pp. 97-98 pars. 13-14 The Days of Christendom Are Numbered *** 13 That the destruction of Jerusalem was to be in punishment for the religious error of his chosen people, Jehovah directly stated to Ezekiel, who was depicting the siege of Jerusalem, saying: “And as for you, lie upon your left side, and you must lay the error of the house of Israel upon it. For the number of the days that you will lie upon it you will carry their error. And I myself must give to you the years of their error to the number of three hundred and ninety days, and you must carry the error of the house of Israel. And you must complete them.”—Ezekiel 4:4-6. 14 By this Ezekiel was to indicate, not the length of the coming siege of Jerusalem, but the exact year in which the city was to be destroyed, at the end of its siege. The expression “the house of Israel” here stands for the Northern Kingdom of ten rebellious tribes of Israel, which did not recognize Jerusalem as its capital. Nevertheless, Jerusalem was held accountable for the religious error of the Northern Kingdom of Israel, because, from the closing years of King Solomon, that city had given all twelve tribes of Israel a bad religious example, toward idolatry. Please contact a local Witness and ask to see Chapter 6 of the above book. The times he laid sides marked the number of years from the start of their apostasy to their judgment. The 40 days pointed to the time when the desolation of Jerusalem would start, which was after Ezekiel completed the drama. [/QUOTE]
