This podcast marks a renewed commitment on my part to regular broadcasts. The program considers how the recent events may indicate the time of the end has begun. And the suggestion that Jesus may make a stealthy inspection before anyone is even aware of his presence. A question from a long-time reader asks about the appropriateness of the Watchtower's recent counsel about hiding Bibles [...]
The world has suffered from the ravages of demonic tyrants and ruthless rulers since Nimrod stood up as a mighty hunter in opposition to Jehovah a long time ago. In more recent times peoples have been killed in mass by the likes of Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, and others besides. The real tyrant, though, is, of course, Satan the Devil. Jesus said he is the [...]
Saturday, January 9 Obey God as ruler rather than men. —Acts 5:29. How can you continue to worship Jehovah while under ban? The branch office will give the local elders instructions and practical suggestions. If the branch office cannot contact the elders, then the elders will help you and all in the congregation to continue your worship of Jehovah. They will give direction in harmony with the [...]
Part four In the aftermath of the Second World War the British Empire immediately went to work to destroy the alliance between the United States and Russia that had formed as a result of the Nazi invasion of the USSR; hence, Winston Churchill, the former British prime minister, came to Fulton Missouri in 1946 and proclaimed the Iron Curtain had fallen on half of Europe.

Monday, January 4 Wicked men and impostors will advance from bad to worse.
Saturday, January 2 The Devil . . . is a liar and the father of the lie. —John 8:44. Satan’s lies about the dead slander Jehovah.

How does that make you feel? More important, how [...]
Friday, January 1 Go, . . . and make disciples of people of all the nations. —Matt. 28:19. All of God’s faithful servants want to learn how they can “fully accomplish” the ministry that they have been given to do. (2 Tim. 4:5) After all, this work is more important and more urgent than any other occupation in life. However, it can be a challenge to spend as much time [...]
Wednesday, December 30 Angels . . . did not keep their original position but forsook their own proper dwelling place. —Jude 6. A significant number of angels joined Satan’s rebellion. Prior to the Flood, Satan lured at least some of them into having immoral relations with the daughters of men. The Bible reveals this truth by symbolically portraying the dragon as dragging a third of the stars of heaven [...]
Jehovah’s Witnesses are all about the future. Surviving the violent end of this wicked world and living forever in paradise on earth is a compelling vision —a valid hope, solidly based upon the Sacred Scriptures. Indeed, let your Kingdom come! When Jesus walked the earth he was keenly interested in the future. He was aware of what was written in the Hebrew prophets and Psalms. He [...]
As the First World War was winding down the Spanish Flu emerged and swiftly swept the earth in successive waves killing more people than were butchered during the bloody Great War. It is no wonder that even years later millions of Jehovah's Witnesses became convinced that this series of dreadful calamities is evidence that the symbolic horsemen of the Apocalypse [...]
