The house of David
received Jehovah’s promise, and it was a family that received
Jehovah’s inheritance. It was originally one of the tribes of
Israel and belonged to the chosen people. At the time, Jehovah
decreed a law for the Israelites that all of the Jewish people who
belonged to the house of David, all those who were born into that
house would receive His inheritance. They would receive a hundredfold
and gain the status of the firstborn sons. At the time, they were the
most elevated among all Israelites—they had the highest position
among all the families of Israel, and they directly served Jehovah in
the temple, wearing priestly robes and crowns. At the time, He called
them faithful and saintly servants and they gained the esteem of all
other tribes of Israel. Thus, at the time they were all respectfully
referred to as lords—this was the work of Jehovah in the Age of
Law. Today they are still serving Jehovah in this way in the temple,
so they will always be kings appointed by Jehovah. No one can take
away their crown, and no one can alter their service because they
belonged to the house of David from the start; this is what Jehovah
bestowed upon them. The reason that you don’t belong to the house
of David is that you are not from Israel, but you belong to the
houses from outside of Israel. Also, your nature is not to worship
Jehovah, but it is to resist Him, so you do not have the same
identity as those from the house of David and you are not one of
those who will receive My inheritance. You particularly are not those
who will receive a hundredfold.
In Israel at that time there
were many different houses and many different tribes, but they were
all the chosen people. However, what is different from other
countries is that in Israel people are categorized, their positions
in front of Jehovah are differentiated, and each person’s realm is
laid out according to their different tribes. In countries other than
Israel, people can’t just casually refer to themselves as belonging
to the houses of David, Jacob, or Moses. This would be contrary to
fact—the names of[a] the tribes of Israel cannot be casually
misused in other countries. People frequently misuse the names of
David, Abraham, Esau, etc., or they say: “We have now accepted God,
so we are of the house of Jacob.” Saying these things is nothing
but baseless human reasoning and does not come directly from Jehovah,
nor does it come from My own ideas. It is purely human nonsense! Just
like an orator that confuses right and wrong, people groundlessly
think of themselves as the descendants of David or part of the family
of Jacob, and they believe that they are worthy of that. Do people
not know that those of the house of David were long ago ordained by
Jehovah, and it was not David that appointed himself as king?
However, there are many who shamelessly claim to be the descendants
of the house of David—people are so ignorant! The truth is that the
matters of Israel have nothing to do with the Gentiles—they are two
different things, and are completely unrelated. The matters of Israel
can only be spoken of to the people of Israel, but the Gentiles are
totally uninvolved, and the work currently done among the Gentiles
has nothing to do with the people of Israel. What is said about the
Gentiles is determined by what I am currently saying, and the work
done in Israel cannot act as a type of the work among the Gentiles.
Wouldn’t that show that God is too stupid, too conservative? Only
when the work begins to spread among the Gentiles will what is said
about them, or their outcome be revealed, so people’s words of the
past, “We are the descendants of David,” or “Jesus is the son
of David,” are even more preposterous things to say. My work is
compartmentalized. I would not refer to a deer as a horse; rather,
the work is differentiated according to its sequence.
