Now that we know that Jesus has entered into the family name of Jehovah we can see our future very clearly.
34 Jesus answered them: Is it not written in your Law, I said: You are gods? (John 10).
Yes, even the lowliest beggar in cardboard city or the youngest child scraping a living from the garbage heaps of the large third world, too humble even to raise their eyes to meet the gaze of passers by, will one day rule an entire galaxy as a God with a face too glorious for their subjects even to look upon. For they too are products of the love and the generosity of Jehovah, who having elevated his angelic son Jesus Christ to the status of God, will not fail to show the same love for and confidence in many others of his sons and daughters. We are children of God, our future is to be Gods just like our father. That is the race that we come from, that is the family we are talking about, and there is the jealousy of Satan, the one who could by now have become a God like Jehovah but failed the test. He provides the obstacles which we must overcome in order to graduate from the divine Kindergarten.
So the true religion is bi-theistic. Therefore the Lord's Witnesses have become the Lords' Witnesses. This minor syntactical modification to our name, represents a major theological earthquake. Every church in this world bar one (to our knowledge) is worshipping the wrong number of Gods! I mean if you cannot get that one right, what hope do you have? It is like our second God once said:
14 Let them be. Blind guides is what they are. If, then, a blind
man guides a blind man, both will fall into a pit (Matthew 15).
