"Baptism by John was the symbol of repentance for the Jewish nation (Mark 1:3-4) who were physical Jews (John 8:33,37,39; Matt.15:24; 10:5-6; Luke 1:54-55). John the Baptist was " 'greater / more' than a prophet" (Matt.11:7,9-10), because he had the spirit of an Elijah Herald (Luke 1:17,16; Matt.3:3; 11:14)... whose purpose is to awaken and cleanse God's nation to receive the arriving Messiah (Mark1:3; Matt.21:5). Such a Herald/Watchman, was also prophesied to arrive in the time of the end (Mal.4:5-6; Matt.17:11; Isa.49:8; Matt19:28; 25:6; Mal.3:1; Zech.4:9,14,11; Rev.11:4,3; 10:7; 16:17; 11:15; Isa.52:7; Rev.22:6,16; 1:1; John 16:8-14; Hab.2:2; Rev.4:8; 15:7) (Rev.12…

In our path of study of the prophecies, as already seen in various previous articles, we will have come across something that we would not have believed possible. The understanding of Babylon the Great, as well as that concerning Armageddon, the Jerusalem above or the Heavenly Jerusalem, have indeed constituted great changes in the official understanding of Jehovah's Witnesses. We can not ignore the chain effects that these "changes of vision" have produced and continue to produce on many other more or less important doctrines. The author of this blog would like above all to clarify that all the theses presented so far have never been considered inspired or in…

What is Jehovah requiring of you? Only to exercise justice, to cherish loyalty, and to walk in modesty with your God!—Mic. 6:8. In the dead of night, David and Abishai silently make their way through 3,000 sleeping troops. At the center of the camp, the two men find King Saul fast asleep. He has journeyed to the Judean wilderness in order to find David and kill him. Abishai whispers: “Let me pin [Saul] to the ground with the spear just once, and I will not need to do it twice.” DavidÂ’s reply is astonishing! “Do not harm him, for who can lift his hand against the anointed of Jehovah and remain innocent? . . . It is unthinkable from JehovahÂ’s standpoint for me to …

JEHOVAH - Why will all the Earth know God's Name? (Psalms 83:18) 18 That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth." (Je·ho?vah) [the causative form, the imperfect state, of the Heb. verb ha·wah? (become); meaning “He Causes to Become”]. The personal name of God. (Isa 42:8; 54:5) Though Scripturally designated by such descriptive titles as “God,” “Sovereign Lord,” “Creator,” “Father,” “the Almighty,” and “the Most High,” his personality and attributes—who and what he is—are fully summed up and expressed only in this personal name. (Ps 83:18) The oldest Hebrew manus…

Everything we read about the "70-Week" prophecy reported in the book "Pay Attention to Daniel's Prophecy!" (Chapter 11) is worthy of attention and demonstrates how accurate and reliable the word of God is even when pronouncing prophecies very distant in time. The historical accuracy and the numerous Scriptural references that gave weight and authority to the whole speech were also evident. Anyone who approaches the Word of God without preconceptions can not but be struck by this demonstration of power and wisdom on the part of God. The explanation of the 70 weeks is unexceptionable but can be said to be the same as other prophecies? What about those calcul…

dicembre 28, 2017 And they will fall by the edge of the sword and be led captive into all the nations;+ and Jerusalem will be trampled on by the nations* until the appointed times of the nations* are fulfilled – Luke 21:24 Â What are "the appointed times of the nations"? Â The "appointed times of the nations" are another topic that many Jehovah's Witnesses are struggling to be self-critical because of the connections induced more or less in relation to the "seven times" of Daniel chapter 4. In the rare cases in which they had a chance to re-examine the application of Nebuchadnezzar…

Give Comfort to Those Who Grieve ~ ??? “Jehovah has anointed me . . . to comfort all the mourning ones.”—(ISAIAH 61:1, 2) JEHOVAH, the God of all real comfort, teaches us to be concerned when others experience calamity. He teaches us to “speak consolingly to the depressed souls” and to comfort all who mourn. Jesus Christ read and applied to himself the prophetic commission: “The spirit of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah is upon me, for the reason that Jehovah has anointed me to tell good news to the meek ones. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, . . . to comfort all the mourning ones.” (Isaiah 61:1, 2) When we seek to comfort others,…

2017-05-02 FULL-TIME devotees of the Jehovah's Witnesses Christian congregation in Namibia are entitled to the same social security protection as other employees in the country, a Windhoek Labour Court judgement confirmed last week. The judgement was delivered in a case in which the legal employment status of members of the Worldwide Order of Special Full-Time Servants of Jehovah's Witnesses was in dispute. In the judgement, acting judge Petrus Unengu ruled that members of that religious order fall within the definition of an “employee” in the Labour Act and the Social Security Act, and as a result the Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses of Namibia sho…

Showing Respect for Life and Blood.... How should we view life? (1) abortion? (1) How do Christians show that they are safety conscious? (2) Is it wrong to kill animals? (3) What are some practices that do not show respect for life? (4) What is God’s law on blood? (5) Does this include blood transfusions? (6) 1. Jehovah is the Source of life. All living things owe their life to God. (Psalm 36:9) Life is sacred to God. Even the life of an unborn child inside its mother is precious to Jehovah. To kill such a developing baby on purpose is wrong in GodÂ’s eyes.—Exodus 21:22, 23; Psalm 127:3. 2. True Christians are safety conscious. They make sure tha…

Myth 3: All Good People Go to Heaven.... What is the origin of the myth? After the death of JesusÂ’ apostles, by the beginning of the second century C.E., the early Church Fathers gained prominence. Describing their teachings, the New Catholic Encyclopedia (2003), Volume 6, page 687, says: “The general stream of teaching was that heavenly bliss is granted to the disembodied soul immediately after whatever necessary purification follows death.” What does the Bible say? “Happy are the mild-tempered ones, since they will inherit the earth.”—Matthew 5:5. Although Jesus promised his disciples that he would “prepare a place” for them in heaven, he indicated that the…

Myth 2: The Wicked Suffer in Hell....

The philosophy that suited them best was Platonism [the teachings of Plato].”—The New Encyclopædia Britannica (1988), Volume 25, page 890. “The teaching of the Church affirms the existence of hell and its eternity. Immediately after death the souls o…

Myth 1: The Soul Is Immortal...      ( following 2 and 3...) What is the origin of the myth? “The early Christian philosophers adopted the Greek concept of the soulÂ’s immortality and thought of the soul as being created by God and infused into the body at conception.”— The New Encyclopædia Britannica (1988), Volume 11, page 25. What does the Bible say? “The soul that sinneth, it shall die.”—Ezekiel 18:4, King James Version. Regarding the creation of the first human soul, the Bible says: “Jehovah God proceeded to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man came to be a living soul [Hebrew,…

The Christian Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses of Namibia has asserted its right to be EXEMPT as an "Employer" for purposes of payment to those who work on its behalf, nor are they responsible (they claim) for filing any Social Security documents as to wages, hours worked, withholding, etc.In 2014, the Congregation asked to be de-registered as such.____It didn't go so well.____On the 16 June 2014, authorities replied to the JW's request by confirming that the appellant is considered an employer in terms of the SS Act and consequently should be registered with the Employees’ Compensation Fund established by the Employees’ Compensation Act, 1941, as well as having the Or…

How Do You React to Warnings That Come From God Himself ? The Bible vividly described long in advance the events that mark the last days. In connection with that, it urges us to consider “the days of Noah.” “In those days before the flood,” people were busy with the customary activities of life, though they were no doubt concerned about the prevalence of violence. As for the warning that God gave through his servant Noah, “they took no note until the flood came and swept them all away.” (Matthew 24:37-39) Would you have heeded the warning? Do you do so now? What if you had lived in Sodom, near the Dead Sea, in the days of the man Lot, a nephew of Abraham? The count…
