Belated commentary Saturday, AugustĀ 13 I will put enmity between you and the woman and between your offspring and her offspring.āGen. 3:15. How intense would this enmity be? āHe (the offspring of the woman) will crush your (Satanās) head, and you will strike him in the heel,ā said Jehovah. The enmity between the serpent and the woman would be so fierce that Satan would spare no effort [...]
Tuesday, JuneĀ 14 They will become one flock, one shepherd.āJohn 10:16. Jesusā illustration of the sheep and the goats teaches us that those with the earthly hope have the honor of loyally supporting Jesusā anointed brothers in the preaching and teaching work.Ā During these critical last days, the two groups work together as āone flockā in zealously carrying out the work of making disciples. The Master rightly expects [...]
Monday, JanuaryĀ 18 Love is patient and kind.ā1Ā Cor. 13:4. Putting into practice what Paul wrote concerning love can prevent many problems, can result in happiness, and can bring us Godās blessing.Ā Just as God has shown patience and kindness in dealing with imperfect humans, we need to be patient and kind when others make mistakes and are thoughtless, or even rude. āLove is not jealous,ā so true love [...]
This article is the first in a series of articles to come answering so-called stumper questions for Jehovah's Witnesses. All entires will appear in the ANSWERS category listed on the footer menu (Question #1) If the organization did not actually prophesy the end in 1925 and 1975, then how come so many Witnesses left the faith immediately afterwards? ("They lost roughly three-quarters of the movement between [...]
A review of the November 2013, Watchtower study edition The main body of the Watchtower material presents an informative account of the historical developments leading up to the invasion of Judah by the Assyrians under their king, Sennacherib.Ā Ā The article points out that the king of Israel joined forces with Syria and was intent on removing the king of Judah ā and most likely, the royal [...]
On the night of Jesusā arrest and trial he forewarned his apostles that they, one and all, would be stumbled in fulfillment of prophecy. When Peter protested and vowed that even if all the others should fall he would never do so, Jesus issued his own prophecy, of sorts, foretelling that Peter would deny him three times before a cock crowed to herald the dawn. And of course, both prophecies came true. All the apostles scattered in fear and Peter three times vehemently denied he even knew Jesus.Ā
Jesus also foretold that during the conclusion āmany will be stumbled.ā What did Jesus mean? Was he referring to true Christians?Ā
As regular readers of e-watchman are aware, not only is it my unwavering conviction that Jehovahās Witnesses and the Watchtower Society have heretofore played a vital role in the outworking of Jehovahās grand purpose, but I also stand convinced that the present system of things is poised to implode in the immediate future ā commensurate with the authentic arrival of Jesus Christ and the actual ouster of Satan and his demons from Jehovahās heavens. Even though no mortal knows the precise day and hour when the Son of man will make his thief-like presence manifest, thereby plunging the world into a brief period of unimaginable chaos, the conditions are undeniably overripe for a calamity of apocalyptic proportions to suddenly overtake the present wicked system of things.
QUESTION: Should we now move away from the 'Society,' i.e. meetings, 'Get out of her my people.... ?' But doesn't the Bible say not forsake the gathering of yourselves together and all the more so as you behold the day drawing near, etc.? And what do we do about the memorial of Christās Death? I can see that you are speaking the truth when you say about the Man of Lawlessness, surely standing in a place where they ought not, I.E. in place of the Christ, saying: āNo one comes to the father except through usā has put them in line for punishment, but how do we handle this after 30years?
jw.org has taken to posting brief articles with short bullet points on current topics. As I have done with the Watchtower Review column for many years this post will examine the validity of the article: What Is the Sign of āthe Last Days,ā or āEnd Timesā? (The recycled article appearing on jw dot org has been reviewed before but what follows is more detailed.) What [...]
Part three of Watchtower Review Under the subheading, WE LOVE THE TRUTH: 12) Godās people today do not claim to have perfect or complete knowledge of the truth. At times, they have made mistakes in doctrinal matters and in organizational direction. That should not surprise us. The Scriptures make it clear that accurate knowledge increases with time. (Col. 1:9,Ā 10) Jehovah reveals the truth gradually, and we [...]
