The prophet Isaiah announced:

“Then Yahweh spoke again to Ahaz, saying, ‘Ask a sign for yourself from Yahweh your God; make it deep as Sheol or high as heaven.’ But Ahaz said, ‘I will not ask, and I will not test Yahweh!’ Then he said, ‘Listen now, O house of David! Is it too slight a thing for you to try the patience of men, that you will try the patience of my God as well? Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel.” Isaiah 7:10-14 Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

According to Matthew, this was fulfilled when Mary, the mother of our Lord conceived and gave birth to Christ as a virgin by the power of the Holy Spirit:

“Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: when His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit. And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man and not wanting to disgrace her, planned to send her away secretly. But when he had considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, ‘Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for the One who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.’ Now all this took place in order that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet would be fulfilled, saying, ‘Behold, the virgin shall be with child and shall bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,’ which translated means, ‘God with us.’” Matthew 1:18-23 LSB

'Immanuel' = 'God with us' = 'Jesus, for He would save His people from their sins.'

Albert Barnes Commentary on Matthew 17:5

"Verse 5. A bright cloud overshadowed them. The word overshadow here means, rather, to be diffused or spread over them. It does not mean that it made a shade. A cloud was a symbol of the Divine Presence. Thus God went before the Israelites in a cloudy pillar--dark by day, and bright by night, (Exodus 14:19-20) he appeared on Mount Sinai in a cloud bright by fire, (Exodus 24:15-17) and a cloud, the symbol of the Divine Presence--called the Shechinah-- dwelt continually in the Most Holy Place in the temple, 1 Kings 8:10-11; Ezekiel 1:4; 10:4. When, therefore, the disciples saw this cloud, they were prepared to hear the word of the Lord.

This is my beloved Son. This was the voice of God. This was the second time that, in a remarkable manner, he had declared this. See Matthew 3:17. This was spoken to confirm the disciples; to declare their duty to hear Christ rather than any other, and to honour him more than Moses and Elijah; and to strengthen their faith in him when they should go forth to preach the gospel, after he was shamefully put to death. After this, it was impossible for them to doubt that he was truly the Son of God. See 2 Peter 1:17-18."

Revelation 5:1-5 (NKJV)

"I saw, in the right hand of him who sat on the throne, a book written inside and outside, sealed shut with seven seals.

I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the book, and to break its seals?"

No one in heaven above, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the book, or to look in it.

And I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open the book, or to look in it.

One of the elders said to me, "Don't weep. Behold, the Lion who is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome; he who opens the book and its seven seals."

Hebrews 1:3-4 (WEB)

"His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself made purification for our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; having become so much better than the angels, as he has inherited a more excellent name than they have."

Does Watchtower have the means and utilize them to make you believe something is authentic when, in fact, it isn't?

How many other instances of deception has Watchtower fed you, Jehovah's Witnesses?

For those among you who still have the green cover NWT, look up Hebrews 1:6 ... and ask yourselves why they had to change it to how it reads today.

Jeremiah 17:5-7 - LSB

"Thus says Yahweh,
“Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind
and makes flesh his strength,
and whose heart turns away from Yahweh.

And he will be like a juniper in the desert
and will not see when prosperity comes,
but will dwell in stony wastes in the wilderness,
a land of salt which is not inhabited.

Blessed is the man who trusts in Yahweh
and whose trust is Yahweh."

Jesus is, therefore, worthy of the very worship that every creature must give to God since he is the Creator of all things that exist.

Note the following:

1. God is worthy of worship because he is the Creator.
2. The New Testament teaches that Jesus is the Creator.
3. Therefore, Jesus is worthy of the same worship due to God.

And God agrees:

Hebrews 1:2-3, 6, 10-12 - NKJV

"God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.

But when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says:
"Let all the angels of God worship Him."

And: " You, LORD, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands. They will perish, but You remain; and they will all grow old like a garment; like a cloak You will fold them up, and they will be changed. But You are the same, and Your years will not fail."

Yet, they contradict themselves in paragraph 19 ...

w61 6/15 pp. 372-373 par. 19 Progressing Toward Maturity

"Mature persons have perspective about their work. For example, when doing house-to-house preaching in rural districts, mature ministers organize matters so that there is a minimum of time spent in traveling and waiting, and a maximum of time actually spent in preaching and teaching. They will not avoid the more populous areas, but will recognize that there is where the most productive witnessing can be done."

Jehovah's Witnesses, are you advertising that Jesus is the 'King of Glory, the glorious King, strong and mighty Jehovah, Jehovah of Armies, our glorious Lord'?

1 Corinthians 2:8 (NWT) - “It is this wisdom that none of the rulers of this system of things came to know, for if they had known it, they would not have executed the glorious Lord.”

James 2:1 (NWT) - “My brothers, you are not holding to the faith of our glorious Lord Jesus Christ while showing favoritism, are you?

Jehovah Witnesses ...

Were these really "Righteous Requirements" from God to begin with, or unrighteous requirements from men 'who know no shame'?

Zephaniah 3:5 (NWT) - "Jehovah is righteous in her midst; he does no wrong. Morning by morning he makes known his judgments, as unfailing as the daylight. But the unrighteous one knows no shame.”

Does 'high expectancy, high hopes, eagerness' nullify the Word of God regarding pronouncing false prophecies, Watchtower?

Would Jehovah and Jesus really "back and trust" a false prophet with God's household, Jehovah Witnesses?
