16. (a) Who offers to the loyal ones the “cup of grand salvation,” and how? (b) How do they drink that “cup,” and upon what do they call?
16 A cup contains a portion of drink for one to imbibe or even to pour out as a drink offering to Jehovah God. It is He who has offered to his loyal ones on earth the “cup of grand salvation.” How? By preserving them through the “great tribulation.” The portion for them to drink is the “grand salvation.” All his acts of salvation Jehovah has wrought for them through the heavenly Messiah. The loyal ones do not refuse this gift of “grand salvation” that extends their life on earth into the blessed thousand years of earth-wide rule by the Messiah. Gratefully they will drink it, enjoying life “in the lands of those living.” But as they do so, they will call upon the name of Jehovah. Using his name, they will call upon Him through his Messiah to bless and guide them in all their efforts henceforth to use their lives on earth in full harmony with his will. They will openly, publicly, name Him as their God.
