Frances GreistThe only thing I don't like about Robert King's teaching, is the thought that Jesus might be lowered to that of an angel; even an archangel is lower than Jesus, the Son of God.
Hebrews 1:5 says "to which one of the angels have I called my Son?" But read from verse one to get the full measure of his stature in Jehovah's eyes and heart.

Even the book of Enoch has Jesus as a separate and special being calling him Son of Man. Enoch 46:1-4. Enoch also names the 7 foremost or archangels of which Michael is one of them along with Gabriel, Raphael, Remiel, Sariel, Uriel and Raguel. All individual and separate from the Son of man.
Jude 14 And Enoch also, the 7th in line from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, "Behold, the Lord cometh with 10,000's of his saints.
To my understanding when Jesus comes back to destroy the wicked he will come with Michael and his armies of angels. Robert's thinking could well mean that Jesus is also a trumpet if he says he is the archangel because Jesus is coming with both.
Doing some research I found that 1 Thessalonians 4:16 speaks of parallellisms with Matthew 24:30 Jesus will cry out with a loud voice, (or in other words he is in full control,) for the archangel to blow the trumpet to awaken the dead and for the rest of the angels to round up the elect from all over heavens...or earth.
Our org has fulfilled prophesy in so many ways and even denying the Lord that bought them. 2 Peter 2:1 and this may be yet another way to slap Jesus in the face. These reasonings are not only mine, but are all over the internet and JW'S have been ridiculed for their stand in this matter, or another gaping hole in their wall. I hope Robert changes his mind.
