In the previous article in this series on Micah, the concluding comments made the case that divine intervention will be necessary to save mankind from extinction. What else could Jesus have been referring to except nuclear war when he warned that the great tribulation would be so severe that no flesh would be saved unless God cut it short? Jesus also spoke of a post-tribulation world, [...]
This is a Watchtower Review post considering the article entitled: Keep Your Senses When Your Loyalty Is Tested. The scripture theme is “Keep your senses in all things.”
The Watchtower study article for the third week of January 2023, is entitled: Let Nothing Separate You from Jehovah. The scriptural theme is Psalms 31:14, “I trust in you, O Jehovah.” This is perhaps one of the most insidious articles ever appearing in the Watchtower. The third paragraph states: 3) The Devil, however, tries to separate us from Jehovah, especially when we are facing challenges. What is [...]
In his second letter, Peter exhorts anointed Christians to make every effort to secure their hope of sharing in divine nature—essentially, the incredible prospect of becoming gods. The apostle, however, forcefully forewarned that there will be challenges. Foremost, he alerted us to the presence of false teachers who will exploit us with counterfeit words. Please take note: The apostle did not say you might be subjected [...]
This is a review of the Watchtower article entitled How Jehovah Helps Us to Endure With Joy. The biblical theme is “Jehovah is waiting patiently to show you favor, and he will rise up to show you mercy.” —ISA. 30:18. 4) In the opening words of Isaiah chapter 30, Jehovah describes the Jews as “stubborn sons,” who “add sin to sin.” He continues, saying: “They are a rebellious [...]
A November 2022 Watchtower study article is entitled: How Jehovah Helps Us to Carry Out Our Ministry. The scriptural theme is “They will certainly know that a prophet was among them.” — Ezek 2.5 There is no doubt that Jehovah—or more correctly, Jesus—helps Christians to fully accomplish their ministry. It is, after all, a divinely ordained work destined to be carried out to completion before [...]
I watched with interest the January 2023 JW Broadcast presentation of part one of the Annual Meeting; especially Geoffrey Jackson’s talk with the theme: Be Alert. Be Decisive, which focused on the events which led up to the desolation of Jerusalem in the first century as chronicled by the Jewish historian, Josephus. Being alert and decisive is vital. After all, Jesus forewarned his followers that [...]
“Give Jehovah his due, you sons of mighty ones, give Jehovah his due for his glory and strength. Give Jehovah the glory due his name. Bow down to Jehovah in holy adornment.” What do you give to the man who has everything? That is an oft-used expression. Of course, there is no man (or woman) who has everything. True, some people may have more money [...]
JW.org has posted a year-end banner article proclaiming 2022 to have been the year of turmoil. And, of course, the subheading poses the gripping question: What Does the Bible Say? Apparently, there is a category of articles that is called “keep on the watch.” Oddly though, everything the brief article mentions has supposedly already fulfilled Bible prophecy. So, what are we to expect to see by [...]
Most Christians presently living in the Western world---otherwise known as the realm of Christendom---have not really faced persecution. Here in America, the last episode of persecution was back in the 1930s and 40s. But even then it was rather localized and the federal government actually protected the rights of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Numerous Supreme Court decisions were handed down in favor of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Rather than out-in-the-open, [...]
