  • You would do well on medication.
  • Never heard of it.
  • In his prophecy on “the conclusion of the system of things.” Jesus said: “Who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time? Happy is that slave if his master on arriving finds him doing so. Truly I say to you, He will appoint him over all his belongings.”—Matthew 24:45-47. It is interesting to note that in Christendom, much attention is paid to Jesus words in this passage about “Wars and rumors of wars, pestilences and such, but you almost never see any of them mentioning these words about his faithful slave.

      You didn't say who you thought the 'faithful and discreet (sensible) slave" is? The reason that it's so important to you is that you've been told your 'church' is THAT slave. Not true of course. And... It is not a 'prophecy', it is a parable. Jesus frequently used parables to instruct. ?the conclusion of the system of things.? is not a biblical term... but strictly a JW thing. You've been told that "Christendom" doesn't pay much attention to this verse...? Hmmm... odd. I wonder who told you that? The Watchtower and Bible Tract Society? lol figures. Christians... non-JW's that is... do in fact hold this parable to heart. I've been acquainted with it since I was a child. Me thinks you've been misinformed. Christians also don't hold the same meaning of the parable as the JW's do. The Watchtower applied it to themselves, with the Watchtower and Bible tract society reigning themselves supreme! hogwash and a concept. Matt 24:45 a. Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing: Jesus told us that we must carry on with diligence while the Lord is gone. We must be that faithful and wise servant who takes care of his master's business while the master is away. Who is the Master that is returning? Answer: Jesus... not the WT b. Assuredly, I say to you that he will make him ruler over all his goods: Jesus also promised that we will be rewarded for our diligence. The servants serve the master, but the master knows how to take care of and reward the servants. We will be rewarded by accepting, sharing the gospel and following Jesus as Lord and Savior.
