Answer #16
They represent those who are part of the “earth,” that is, the organization that supports the priestly function. They as the Branch Overseers, the District Overseers, Circuit Overseers and Kingdom Ministry School Instructors. These ones commit fornication with Babylon the Great by willingly supporting the Watchtower Society in its perverse and apostate actions of “placing the Beast” where he “ought not to be” in a holy place, the organization itself. When the future King of the North puts pressure on them, they will give open support to the United Nations to save themselves from persecution. These “kings of the earth” will assist Babylon the Great to get all of “spiritual Israel,” who are in captivity to her, to follow her in her apostasy before God. (Daniel 11:32; Zechariah 3:4-6; Revelation 13:4, 16, 17)
