How about Ezekiel 36:3, 12-15.
Ezekiel 36:3 says,
"Therefore prophesy, and you must say, This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said: For the reason, even for the reason that there has been a lying desolate and a snapping at you from all sides, in order for you to become a possession to the remaining ones of the nations and you [Israel] CONTINUE TO BE TALKED ABOUT WITH THE TONGUE AND THERE IS A BAD REPORT AMONG PEOPLE,"
What is this "Bad Report" that is circulating among people of the world about modern-day "Israel" [Jehovah's Witnesses] in these "last days"?
THE "BAD REPORT" -- WHAT IS IT?
Ezekiel 36:13, 14 says,
"This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said, "For the reason that there are those saying to you: "A DEVOURER OF HUMANKIND is what you [Israel] yourself are, and [a land] BEREAVING YOUR NATIONS OF CHILDREN is what you have become,"
...let's just pause here.
a) Child molestation & abuse = "BEREAVING YOUR NATIONS OF CHILDREN."
Clear-cut point. Also,
b) Vicious Disfellowshipment of responsible Adults who try to help and correct the problem, makes Israel "A DEVOURER OF HUMANKIND."
Another clear-cut point.
Could it be, possibly, this is what the prophet envisioned for our day? Really, it is something to think about, isn't it?
Now, let's continue reading,
"...therefore humankind you will no more DEVOUR, and your nations YOU [ISRAEL] WILL NO MORE BEREAVE OF CHILDREN," is the utterance of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah."
Jehovah God says this reproachful conduct by His People Israel, will Stop! But how?
How will Jehovah God himself bring a halt to this "bereavement of children" of "your nations," nations belonging to "Israel" -- their own "children."
Answer: Ezekiel 36:12 which says,
"And UPON YOU [ISRAEL] I [JEHOVAH] WILL CAUSE HUMANKIND TO WALK, even my people Israel, and they must take possession of you, and you must become a hereditary possession to them, and YOU WILL NOT BEREAVE THEM AGAIN OF ANY MORE CHILDREN."
JEHOVAH GOD causes "humankind" of this earth, the world in general, to literally take vengeance on God's People Israel [Jehovah's Witnesses] and "WALK" all over Israel. Simply put, "Israel" [Jehovah's Witnesses] are caught, exposed, captured, hemmed up in a world-wide "seige" by the world in general, all by Jehovah God's help, direction and permission! -- See Zechariah 12:1-3.
In other words, with God's permission, the "nations" of this world will stump "Israel" [Jehovah's Witnesses] into the ground and make a PUBLIC SPECTACLE of them, for carrying on this heinous activity and covering it up. "Humankind" will "take possession" of Israel, make them a "hereditary possession to themselves."
And since Jehovah God Himself has authorized it, ordained this, the child molestation will certainly STOP among Jehovah's Witnesses. The "bereavement of children," as Jehovah has said, will finally stop once it is exposed to the world. And all the "nations" belonging to "Israel," Jehovah's Witnesses, will be free of "bereavement of children" before our God Jehovah. Because God has seen their wickedness that they have practiced, and He will bring a halt to it, by the means He has outlined in His Word.
This DIRECT ACTION OF GOD thus, becomes the very beginning of Jehovah's direct intervention and administering of the much prophesied Great Divine Discipline upon His Own Name People, clearly demonstrating to the world that "judgment" does indeed "start with the House of God." -- Please consider Jeremiah 25:29; 1 Peter 4:17; Isaiah 30:26; Jeremiah 23:19, 20; 30:23, 24; Micah 4:6, 7; Daniel 7:25; 12:7; Revelation 11:2, 3; 13:5-7.
I'd say that is something to ponder, wouldn't you?
