Thursday, June 30 You were once not a people, but now you are God’s people.—1 Pet. 2:10. Pentecost 33 C.E. was a milestone in the history of Jehovah’s people on earth. A radical change took place. On that day, by means of his spirit, Jehovah brought forth a new nation—spiritual Israel, “the Israel of God.” For the first time since the days of Abraham, God’s people would no longer [...]
KINGDOM BULLETIN #11 After the collapse of the USSR and the end of the Cold War, the Anglo-American establishment embarked upon a scheme for world domination. Wesley Clark, a retired army general, revealed that the initial phase of the scheme involves taking out seven countries in five years. On the target list as of 2001 were Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, & Iran. Although seemingly [...]
QUESTION: What are your thoughts on the “Brexit”? Does this have anything to do with Bible prophecy? ANSWER: Britain’s exit from the European Union seems to have taken everyone by surprise. Except it should be pointed out that it is not a done deal yet. The referendum may be nullified or overturned. That said, whether the United Kingdom actually leaves the Union is irrelevant, as it [...]
QUESTION: We have been taught that only those baptized will be saved, using the example of the Jews all being "baptized through the Red Sea" (1 Cor 10:2). And the example of Noah, at 1 Pet 3:21 "Baptism, which corresponds to this, is also now saving you (not by the removing of the filth of the flesh, but by the request to God for a good [...]
Sunday, June 26 There will be great tribulation such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now, no, nor will occur again.—Matt. 24:21. The earthly part of Jehovah’s organization is moving ahead in various ways. For instance, our understanding of Bible truth is constantly becoming clearer. This is to be expected, for “the path of the righteous is like the bright morning light that grows [...]
NEWS COMMENTARY The Watchtower's Legal Department has been fighting for quite a few years to keep their records private. Although they exhort Jehovah's Witnesses to obey the superior authorities - as the apostle Paul called them - as long as their laws and edicts do not contravene God's laws, the leadership of Jehovah's Witnesses apparently consider the Watchtower to be superior to the superior authorities. Now [...]
Saturday, June 25 The eyes of Jehovah are roving about through all the earth to show his strength in behalf of those whose heart is complete toward him.—2 Chron. 16:9. God wants us to “search for what is good,” “love what is good,” and “do what is good” so that he may “show favor” to us. Think, for example, of the Hebrew midwives Shiphrah and Puah. When Israel was [...]
Thursday, June 23 A vast mixed company also went with them.—Ex. 12:38. When the Israelites left Egypt, they did not do so as various independent groups, each group going its own way. And when Moses “stretched out his hand over the sea” and Jehovah split the sea apart, Moses did not go through alone or with just a few of the Israelites. Rather, with Jehovah’s protection, the [...]
Wednesday, June 22 Stop keeping company with anyone called a brother who is sexually immoral.—1 Cor. 5:11. A heartrending experience for Aaron’s family is recorded at Leviticus 10:1-11. They must have been devastated when fire from heaven consumed Aaron’s sons Nadab and Abihu at the tabernacle. What a test of faith it was for Aaron and his family not to mourn their dead relatives! Are you personally proving [...]
Tuesday, June 21 Be obedient to those who are taking the lead among you.—Heb. 13:17. Faithful servants of Jehovah have always been eager to submit to theocratic direction. We may initially lack full understanding of the reasons for carrying out our assigned work in a particular way. Nevertheless, we are fully aware of the benefits of cooperating with Jehovah in any adjustments that he sees fit to [...]
