She WAICH TOWER AND HERALD OF CHRIST'S PRESENCE Von. LV “LIONS’ DecEMBER J, 1934 ws No. ¢ MOUTHS” “My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the Uons’ mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I donc no hurt.’’—Dan. 6: 22 PART 1 EHOVAH uses the lion as a symbol of justice and judgment. Christ Jesus is the judicial officer of Jehovah to whom is committed all judgment in heaven and in earth, together with the authority and power to execute judgment. (John 5: 22-27) Jesus Christ is therefore appropriately named ‘‘The Lion of the tribe of Juda’’. Of all who praise and serve Jehovah, Christ Jesus is the Head and chief. His judgments are in strict harmony with justice. To the workers of iniquity Christ Jesus, the Executioner of Jehovah’s judgment, is a power of evil, but to those who love and serve Jehovah the Chief Officer is a shield and strength and protection. (Phil. 4:13; 1 Tim. 1:12) It is by the grace of God through Christ Jesus that the victory for the faithful is gained.—1 Cor. 15: 57. 2In the construction and operation of his organization Satan has attempted to mimic Jehovah, and by this means he has sueceeded in bringing much reproach upon the name of the Most High. Satan uses the lion to represent his law, his abortive justice, and his judgments. In Satan’s organization men are condemned to death and are often literally thrown to the lions for execution, and the multitude, beholding the infliction of the penalty of the law, wag their heads and remark: ‘‘That man got justice.’’ But in this they are wrong. For centuries men have organized governments, made laws, and attempted to administer them in the way of justice, but in almost every instance they have failed and their failures have been due to the power and influence of the wieked one, Satan. In the world the failure of the law and justice to go hand in hand has caused the people to have little respect for the law and also has caused them to greatly reproach the name of Jehovah God. 3The Jaw of Jehovah is perfect, ... the [judgments] of Jchovah are true, and righteous altogether.’’ (Ps. 19:7, 9, A.R.V.) ‘‘O Lord God of hosts, who is a strong Lord like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee? Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.’’ (Ps. 89:8,14) It is profitable to keep in mind the proper meaning of law, justice and judgment. The law of God is his perfect rule of action. Justice is that which is right, righteous, pure and equitable. It is the strict conformity to the principles of righteousness and rectitude. Judgment means the finding or conclusion of the court based upon the facts, that is to say, the judicial determination or decree rendered by one having authority so to do. All of Jehovah’s judgments are just, true and righteous, and are in exact harmony with his perfect law. Likewise all the judgments of Christ Jesus are just, true and righteous and in harmony with the divine law. With Jehovah his law and equity are the same. That is not true in the organizations of men under the control of Satan. Because of the harshness and inflexibility of the law of the governments the nations long ago found it necessary, in order to more nearly render justice between men, to establish courts of equity. Law courts often render judgments that are not only very unjust but shockingly cruel and oppressive. Courts of equity attempt to render justice regardless of the fixed rules of law; hence the rules of equity are more bending or flexible, and an honest judge in chancery may render a just judgment. In the organization of the world the inflexible legal rule is that ignorance of the law excuses no man, and the enforcement of this rule often results in very great injustice. In Jehovah’s organization ignorance of the law is an excuse or defense. (Acts 3:17; 17:30; Heb. 5:2; 1 Tim. 1:13) Because of his rule of righteousness Jehovah always brings notice to the wrongdoer before he pronounces judgment against him and executes that judgment. Jchovah’s law judges no man without first giving him a hearing and opportunity to make his defense or excuse for his action.—John 7:51. §Men who organize and rule the nations of the world frequently make and enforce laws exactly contrary to justice. With them law and justice do not mean the same thing, even though the ruling element attempts to induce the common people to be 35%
