Then he said: “In that event I ask you, father, to send him to the house of my father, for I have five brothers.” —Luke 16:27, 28, NW.

He still calls Abraham “father”, but he confesses he has a closer relationship to another father and has five brothers. Who this father is Jesus told the rich man class at John 8:44. So this class show their real sonship by the resemblance of their works to those of their father the Devil. The rich man and his five brothers total six, a number distinguishing the organization of imperfection and sin, the enemy organization. So, they are the visible seed of the great Serpent, as Jesus called them. At this end of the world the five brothers picture all those professed Christians of Christendom who associate with the religious leaders, follow their guidance and act goatishly toward Christ's remnant of brothers. Their works betray who is their father. So, the rich man's prayer is really to their true father, Satan the Devil, that he may make the Lazarus class quit tormenting unfaithful Christians. W 3/1
