⚫ The class members of the temple become God's witnesses

It was some time after the Lord came to his temple before any of the remnant discerned that fact. Then they learned that there was something for them to do. Speaking for them John says: "And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened." (Vs. 5) The remnant class is still tenting or tabernacling here on earth in the flesh. "The sanctuary of the tent of witness" (Roth.) shows that this class must give testimony that Jehovah is God, and therefore must be his witnesses as he has commanded. (Isa, 43:10-12) This further shows that the temple is not the typical one, but the true temple of God, "not made with hands," and "whieh the Lord pitched, and not man". (Heb.8:2; 9:11) Those who are of the temple class see before them an open door of service, that they might go forth and serve as God's witnesses. - 1 Cor. 16:9; Col. 4:3.
