A continuation of the Jeremiah series. In the 18th chapter of Jeremiah Jehovah commanded his prophet to go to the workshop of a certain potter as he was working with a lump of clay on the potter’s wheel. The piece the potter was shaping became ruined and so he reworked it into a different shaped vessel. Jehovah then made a comparison, saying to Jeremiah: “‘Can I [...]
After a few false starts, I was able to get a forum up and running. It has its own domain. e-jehovahs-witnesses I am suspending the Commentary and Mailbag features on this site and will be posting comments on the Daily Text and answering Bible questions in the new forum. I posted a commentary and mailbag question today as a starter. Anyone may read the posts there [...]
As you already know and have said many times, the chosen ones will be killed by beast right before the seven bowls of wrath are poured out. So, my question is, if the anointed will not be here then and will be in heaven to battle at Armageddon, who will lead the great crowd during this time? If there will be no elders or "leaders" [...]
As everyone is aware, Jehovah’s Witnesses have been outlawed in Russia. Some witnesses have been arrested and imprisoned as dangerous extremists. The Watchtower branch office outside of Saint Petersburg was seized by the government in December 2017. Back in 2018, the Watchtower produced a public relations video featuring Russian attorneys and JW’s who worked on the project explaining the history of the construction of the [...]
Question: In update number 9, the question was asked ‘Do you believe Jehovah is directing the organization?’ I know you’ve said that it is Jehovah’s organization, but do you feel he is still directing and are we seeing the scriptures being fulfilled, 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4? My feelings on update 9 is many in the congregations won’t have a problem with what’s being said as it’s [...]
The JW.org website features an article entitled: What Does 666 Mean? The Watchtower’s milquetoast answer explains nothing and trivializes the significance of the mark of the beast. The brief article implies that the paragraph below is the Bible’s answer: According to the last book in the Bible, 666 is the number, or name, of the wild beast with seven heads and ten horns that comes out [...]
Monday, November 15 Sudden destruction is to be instantly on them, . . . and they will by no means escape. —1 Thess. 5:3. Imagine that the nations have just made their long-awaited proclamation of “peace and security.” They may boast that the world has never been so safe. The nations will want us to think that they have the world situation under control. But they have absolutely no [...]
Sunday, November 14 Look! a great crowd. —Rev. 7:9. The apostle John received an exciting prophetic vision. In it, angels are told to hold back the destructive winds of the great tribulation until the final sealing of a group of slaves. (Rev. 7:1-3) That group is made up of 144,000 who will rule with Jesus in heaven. (Luke 12:32; Rev. 7:4) Then John mentions another group, so [...]
A continuation of the exploration of Jeremiah An invasion from the north may be considered to be an important sub-theme of Hebrew prophecy, particularly the books of Jeremiah and Ezekiel. And, of course, the prophecy of Daniel, which designates the invader as the king of the north. Here is a sampling from the book of Jeremiah beginning with the first chapter: “Out of the north the [...]
