In accord with Jesus' words apostle Paul never forgot to mention Jesus in connection with God or His will. Here is a long list of examples of that: John 13:31 When, therefore, he had gone out, Jesus said: “Now the Son of man is glorified, and God is glorified in connection with him. 32 God himself will glorify him, and he will glorify him immediately. 2 Tim 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by God’s will according to the promise of the life that is through Christ Jesus, 2 to Timothy, a beloved child: May you have undeserved kindness, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. 2 Timothy 2:1 You, therefore, my child, keep on acquiring power in the undeserved kindness that is in Christ Jesus;.....3 As a fine soldier of Christ Jesus, take your part in suffering adversity. 2 Timothy 2:8 Remember that Jesus Christ was raised up from the dead…...10 so that they too may obtain the salvation that is through Christ Jesus, along with everlasting glory. 2 Timothy 3:15 and that from infancy you have known the holy writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 2 Timothy 6: Before God, who preserves all things alive, and Christ Jesus, who as a witness made the fine public declaration before Pontius Pilate,+ I give you orders 14 to observe the commandment in a spotless and irreprehensible way until the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ, 1 Timothy 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus, our hope,.......2 May you have undeserved kindness and mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. 2 Thessalonians 1:1 Paul, Sil·vaʹnus, and Timothy, to the congregation of the Thes·sa·loʹni·ans in union with God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ……..11 To that very end we always pray for you, that our God may count you worthy of his calling and with his power perform completely all the good that he pleases and every work of faith. 12 This is so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you and you in union with him, according to the undeserved kindness of our God and of the Lord Jesus Christ. 16 Moreover, may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and gave everlasting comfort and good hope by means of undeserved kindness, 17 comfort your hearts and make you firm in every good deed and word. 1 Thessalonians 1:1 Paul, Sil·vaʹnus, and Timothy, to the congregation of the Thes·sa·loʹni·ans in union with God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: 2 May you have undeserved kindness and peace. We always thank God when we mention all of you in our prayers, 3 for we continually remember your faithful work, your loving labor, and your endurance because of your hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the presence of our God and Father. 1 Thessalonians 2:14 For you, brothers, became imitators of the congregations of God in union with Christ Jesus that are in Ju·deʹa, Colossians 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through God’s will, and Timothy our brother, 2 to the holy ones and faithful brothers in union with Christ at Co·losʹsae: May you have undeserved kindness and peace from God our Father. Philippians 1:1 Paul and Timothy, slaves of Christ Jesus, to all the holy ones in union with Christ Jesus who are in Phi·lipʹpi, along with overseers and ministerial servants: 2 May you have undeserved kindness and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Philippians 4: In turn my God will fully supply all your need according to his riches in glory by means of Christ Jesus. 20 Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever. Amen. 21 Give my greetings to every holy one in union with Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me send you their greetings. 22 All the holy ones, but especially those of the household of Caesar, send you their greetings. 23 The undeserved kindness of the Lord Jesus Christ be with the spirit you show. Ephesians 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through God’s will, to the holy ones who are in Ephʹe·sus and are faithful in union with Christ Jesus: 2 May you have undeserved kindness and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, for he has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in union with Christ, 4 as he chose us to be in union with him before the founding of the world, that we should be holy and unblemished before him in love. 5 For he foreordained us to be adopted as his own sons through Jesus Christ, according to his good pleasure and will, 6 in praise of his glorious undeserved kindness that he kindly bestowed on us by means of his beloved one. 7 By means of him we have the release by ransom through the blood of that one, yes, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his undeserved kindness. 8 This undeserved kindness he caused to abound toward us in all wisdom and understanding 9 by making known to us the sacred secret of his will. It is according to his good pleasure that he himself purposed 10 for an administration at the full limit of the appointed times, to gather all things together in the Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth. Yes, in him 11 with whom we are in union and were assigned as heirs, having been foreordained according to the purpose of the one who accomplishes all things as he decides according to his will, 12 so that we who have been first to hope in the Christ should serve for the praise of his glory. 13 But you also hoped in him after you heard the word of truth, the good news about your salvation. After you believed, you were sealed by means of him with the promised holy spirit, 14 which is a token in advance of our inheritance, for the purpose of releasing God’s own possession by a ransom, to his glorious praise…...17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the accurate knowledge of him. 1 John 1:3 that which we have seen and heard we are reporting also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us. And this fellowship of ours is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. 4 And we are writing these things so that our joy may be complete. 1 John 2:24 As for you, what you have heard from the beginning must remain in you. If what you have heard from the beginning remains in you, you will also remain in union with the Son and in union with the Father. Ephesian 2:13 But now in union with Christ Jesus, you who were once far off have come to be near by the blood of the Christ…...20 and you have been built up on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, while Christ Jesus himself is the foundation cornerstone. 21 In union with him the whole building, being harmoniously joined together, is growing into a holy temple for Jehovah. 22 In union with him you too are being built up together into a place for God to inhabit by spirit. Ephesians 6:23 May the brothers have peace and love with faith from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Galatians 1:1 Paul, an apostle, neither from men nor through a man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him up from the dead, 2 and all the brothers with me, to the congregations of Ga·laʹti·a: 3 May you have undeserved kindness and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 4 He gave himself for our sins so that he might rescue us from the present wicked system of things* according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. Galatians 3:13 Christ purchased us, releasing us from the curse of the Law by becoming a curse instead of us, because it is written: “Accursed is every man hung upon a stake.” 14 This was so that the blessing of Abraham would come to the nations by means of Christ Jesus, so that we might receive the promised spirit through our faith. Romans 1:1-9 Paul, a slave of Christ Jesus and called to be an apostle, set apart for God’s good news, 2 which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy Scriptures, 3 concerning his Son, who came to be from the offspring of David according to the flesh, 4 but who with power was declared God’s Son according to the spirit of holiness by means of resurrection from the dead—yes, Jesus Christ our Lord. 5 Through him we received undeserved kindness and an apostleship with a view to obedience by faith among all the nations respecting his name, 6 among which nations you also have been called to belong to Jesus Christ— 7 to all those who are in Rome as God’s beloved ones, called to be holy ones: May you have undeserved kindness and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 8 First of all, I give thanks to my God through Jesus Christ concerning all of you, because your faith is talked about throughout the whole world. 9 For God, to whom I render sacred service with my spirit in connection with the good news about his Son, is my witness of how without ceasing I always mention you in my prayers, Romans 2:16 This will take place in the day when God through Christ Jesus judges the secret things of mankind, according to the good news I declare. Romans 5:1 Therefore, now that we have been declared righteous as a result of faith, let us enjoy peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom we also have obtained access by faith into this undeserved kindness in which we now stand; and let us rejoice, based on hope of the glory of God. Romans 5:17 For if by the trespass of the one man death ruled as king through that one, how much more will those who receive the abundance of the undeserved kindness and of the free gift of righteousness rule as kings in life through the one person, Jesus Christ! 18 So, then, as through one trespass the result to men of all sorts was condemnation, so too through one act of justification the result to men of all sorts is their being declared righteous for life. 19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one person many will be made righteous. Romans 6:23 For the wages sin pays is death, but the gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 7:25 Thanks to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!... Romans 8:1,2 Therefore, those in union with Christ Jesus have no condemnation. 2 For the law of the spirit that gives life in union with Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. Romans 9:1 I am telling the truth in Christ; Romans 12:5 so we, although many, are one body in union with Christ,... Romans 15: 17 So I have reason to exult in Christ Jesus over the things pertaining to God. 18 For I will not presume to speak about anything except what Christ has done through me…29, Moreover, I know that when I do come to you, I will come with a full measure of blessing from Christ. 30 Now I urge you, brothers, through our Lord Jesus Christ and through the love of the spirit, that you exert yourselves with me in prayers to God for me, Romans 16:3 Give my greetings to Prisʹca and Aqʹui·la, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus,...7 Greet An·dronʹi·cus and Juʹni·as, my relatives and fellow prisoners, who are men well-known to the apostles and who have been in union with Christ longer than I have…..9 Greet Ur·baʹnus, our fellow worker in Christ, and my beloved Staʹchys. 10 Greet A·pelʹles, the approved one in Christ. Greet those from the household of A·ris·tobʹu·lus. …..16 Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the congregations of the Christ greet you. 1 Corinthians 1:1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by God’s will, and Sosʹthe·nes our brother, 2 to the congregation of God that is in Corinth, to you who have been sanctified in union with Christ Jesus,....3 May you have undeserved kindness and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 4 I always thank my God for you in view of the undeserved kindness of God given to you in Christ Jesus; 5 because in everything you have been enriched in him, in full ability to speak and in full knowledge, 6 just as the witness about the Christ has been made firm among you, 7 so that you do not lack in any gift at all, while you are eagerly waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ. 8 He will also make you firm to the end so that you may be open to no accusation in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.+ 9 God is faithful, by whom you were called into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. 10 Now I urge you, brothers, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you should all speak in agreement and that there should be no divisions among you, but that you may be completely united in the same mind and in the same line of thought. 1 Corinthians 3:23 in turn you belong to Christ; Christ, in turn, belongs to God. 1 Corinthians 4:1 A man should regard us as attendants of Christ and stewards of God’s sacred secrets. 1 Corinthians 4; 15 For though you may have 10,000 guardians in Christ, you certainly do not have many fathers; for in Christ Jesus, I have become your father through the good news.+ 16 I urge you, therefore, become imitators of me.+ 17 That is why I am sending Timothy to you, because he is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord. He will remind you of my methods in connection with Christ Jesus, just as I am teaching everywhere in every congregation. 1 Corinthians 5:4 When you are gathered together in the name of our Lord Jesus, and knowing that I am with you in spirit along with the power of our Lord Jesus. 1 Corinthians 6:17 But whoever is joined to the Lord is one with him in spirit. 1 Corinthians 12:27 Now you are Christ’s body, and each of you individually is a member. 1 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks to God, for he gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ! 1 Corinthians 16:22 If anyone has no affection for the Lord, let him be accursed. O our Lord, come! 23 May the undeserved kindness of the Lord Jesus be with you. 24 May my love be with all of you in union with Christ Jesus. 2 Corinthians 1:2 May you have undeserved kindness and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, 2 Corinthians 1:21 But the one who guarantees that you and we belong to Christ and the one who anointed us is God 2 Corinthians 2:14 But thanks be to God, who always leads us in a triumphal procession in company with the Christ and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him in every place…..17…..we speak in all sincerity as sent from God, yes, in the sight of God and in company with Christ. 2 Corinthians 3:4 We have this sort of confidence toward God through the Christ. 2 Corinthians 4:6 For God is the one who said: “Let the light shine out of darkness,” and he has shone on our hearts to illuminate them with the glorious knowledge of God by the face of Christ. 2 Corinthians 6:1 Working together with him,(Jesus Christ)....... 2 Corinthians 10:7….. If anyone is confident in himself that he belongs to Christ, let him reflect again on this fact: Just as he belongs to Christ, so do we also. 2 Corinthians 12:19 …..It is before God that we are speaking in union with Christ. But, beloved ones, all that we do is to build you up. 2 Corinthians 13:3 since you are seeking proof that Christ, who is not weak toward you but strong among you, is really speaking through me. 4 For, indeed, he was executed on the stake because of weakness, but he is alive because of God’s power. True, we also are weak with him, but we will live together with him because of God’s power toward you. 2 Corinthians 13:14 The undeserved kindness of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the sharing in the holy spirit be with all of you. Acts 4:10 let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that in the name of Jesus Christ the Naz·a·reneʹ, whom you executed on a stake but whom God raised up from the dead, by means of him this man stands here healthy in front of you. 11 This is ‘the stone that was treated by you builders as of no account that has become the chief cornerstone.’ 12 Furthermore, there is no salvation in anyone else, for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must get saved.”

Revelation 12:6,13,14 speak about feeding God's symbolic woman after she has fled to a wilderness, to a specific place that God has prepared for her. 6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God and where they would feed her for 1,260 days. 13 Now when the dragon saw that it had been hurled down to the earth, it persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child. 14 But the two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, so that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is to be fed for a time and times and half a time away from the face of the serpent. Then as a continuation Revelation 13 tells about the beast that will require worship and to be marked with the mark of the beast or its name or number. But we who obey God should not do that. And because of that we will be persecuted. And this will promt a flight of God's symbolic woman. This seems to coincide with Daniel 11:30,31 where it speaks about the putting in place the disgusting thing. I believe the flight will be to a specific geografic place on earth. That will fullfill later Ezekiel 38. Are you interested to know more?

Hi 4Jah2me, Maybe Jesus wanted that they begin praying? Maybe they were not so good at that at all? Maybe that is why Jesus exaggerated a little bit saying that we would get what ever we ask if we really believe? Here is a list of scriptures that might help to understand what we can get through prayer. 1 John 5:14 And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that no matter what we ask according to his will, he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears us concerning whatever we are asking, we know that we are to have the things we ask for, since we have asked them of him. Matthew 26:39 And going a little way forward, he fell facedown, praying: “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me. Yet, not as I will, but as you will.” Luke 5:16 However, he often went into the desolate areas to pray. Luke 21:36 Keep awake, then, all the time making supplication that you may succeed in escaping all these things that must occur and in standing before the Son of man.” James 4:3 When you do ask, you do not receive because you are asking for a wrong purpose, so that you may spend it on your fleshly desires. 1 Timothy 2:1 First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be made concerning all sorts of men, 2 concerning kings and all those who are in high positions, so that we may go on leading a calm and quiet life with complete godly devotion and seriousness. Luke 11:1 Now he was in a certain place praying, and when he stopped, one of his disciples said to him: “Lord, teach us how to pray, just as John also taught his disciples.”2 So he said to them: “Whenever you pray, say: ‘Father, let your name be sanctified. Let your Kingdom come. 3 Give us each day our bread according to our daily needs. 4 And forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is in debt to us; and do not bring us into temptation.’” Luke 11:8 I tell you, even if he will not get up and give him anything because of being his friend, certainly because of his bold persistence he will get up and give him whatever he needs. 9 So I say to you, keep on asking, and it will be given you; keep on seeking, and you will find; keep on knocking, and it will be opened to you. 10 For everyone asking receives, and everyone seeking finds, and to everyone knocking, it will be opened. 11 Indeed, which father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will hand him a serpent instead of a fish? 12 Or if he also asks for an egg, will hand him a scorpion? 13 Therefore, if you, although being wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more so will the Father in heaven give holy spirit to those asking him!” Ephesians 6:18 while with every form of prayer and supplication you carry on prayer on every occasion in spirit. And to that end stay awake, constantly making supplication in behalf of all the holy ones. Acts 4:24 Sovereign Lord, you are the One who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all the things in them, 25 and who said through holy spirit by the mouth of our forefather David, your servant: ‘Why did nations become agitated and peoples meditate on empty things? 26 The kings of the earth took their stand and the rulers gathered together as one against Jehovah and against his anointed one.’ 27 For truly both Herod and Pontius Pilate with men of the nations and with peoples of Israel were gathered together in this city against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed, 28 to do what your hand and counsel had determined beforehand to occur. 29 And now, Jehovah, give attention to their threats, and grant to your slaves to keep speaking your word with all boldness,

This American man lives in China and he makes videos about how life is there. For example how he got in jail, and luckily got out without getting beaten up by cops.

I just saw tv commentators talk about their fear of Trump revenge on his enemies. This is something actually prophecied in Daniel 8 in the prophecy about the fierce-looking king. Quite interesting. Daniel 8:23 And in the final part of their kingdom, as the transgressors act to a completion, a fierce-looking king who understands ambiguous sayings*will stand up. 24 His power will become great, but not through his own power. He will bring ruin in an extraordinary way, and he will be successful and act effectively. He will bring mighty ones to ruin, also the people made up of the holy ones.+ 25 And by his cunning he will use deception to succeed; and in his heart he will exalt himself; and during a time of security he will bring many to ruin. He will even stand up against the Prince of princes, but he will be broken without human hand. Among those who will be brought to ruin could be his political opponents.

@TrueTomHarley The angel explained what the vision means that 3 horns were plucked off before him: Daniel 7:24 "As for the ten horns, ten kings will rise up out of that kingdom; and still another one will rise up after them, and he will be different from the first ones, and he will humiliate three kings." I have been looking who those 3 kings would be? They should be a part of the same beast. So they should be 3 significant "western" countries. Trump has been harsh against many countries, but could it be Germany, France and UK? Trump has been hard on Merkel, Germany and the Nord Stream gas pipeline from Russian to Germany. Trump has been hard on Macron and France. Trump was hard on Theresa May UK, and just recently Trump "tore into" Boris Johnson over Huawei. https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/07/politics/donald-trump-boris-johnson-huawei/index.html

And more indications pile up pointing to Donald Trump as the king of the north in Daniel 11:37...but he will magnify himself over everyone. 38 But instead he will give glory to the god of fortresses; to a god that his fathers did not know he will give glory by means of gold and silver and precious stones and desirable things. This god of fortress has been explained to mean military spending. And this is something Donald Trump has increased. He thinks this is a top priority. Here is a news clip commenting on that.

I have seen him on his rallies. There he brags about himself, as the prophecies tell that he would speak arrogantly and boastfully and exalt himself. Some people love it. And he gets votes. New International Version, Daniel 7:8 “While I was thinking about the horns, there before me was another horn, a little one, which came up among them; and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. This horn had eyes like the eyes of a human being and a mouth that spoke boastfully.

You can be Jesus' friend. John 15:14 You are my friends if you do what I am commanding you. 15 I no longer call you slaves, because a slave does not know what his master does. But I have called you friends, because I have made known to you all the things I have heard from my Father. And the previous verses prove that Jesus wishes that we are his disciples: John 15:4 Remain in union with me, and I will remain in union with you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, neither can you unless you remain in union with me. 5 I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever remains in union with me and I in union with him, this one bears much fruit; for apart from me you can do nothing at all. 6 If anyone does not remain in union with me, he is thrown out like a branch and dries up. And men gather those branches and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If you remain in union with me and my sayings remain in you, ask whatever you wish and it will take place for you. 8 My Father is glorified in this, that you keep bearing much fruit and prove yourselves my disciples. 9 Just as the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; remain in my love. 10 If you observe my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have observed the commandments of the Father and remain in his love. 11 “These things I have spoken to you, so that my joy may be in you and your joy may be made full. Though Jesus is King of kings and Lord, he is personally interested to help us and he does that according to the scriptures: Rom 8:34 Christ Jesus is the one who died, yes, more than that the one who was raised up, who is at the right hand of God and who also pleads for us. Hebrews 2:17 Consequently, he had to become like his “brothers” in all respects, so that he could become a merciful and faithful high priest in things relating to God, in order to offer a propitiatory sacrifice for the sins of the people. 18 Since he himself has suffered when being put to the test, he is able to come to the aid of those who are being put to the test. Hebrews 4:15 For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tested in all respects as we have, but without sin. 16 Let us, then, approach the throne of undeserved kindness with freeness of speech, so that we may receive mercy and find undeserved kindness to help us at the right time. Hebrews 6:20 where a forerunner has entered in our behalf, Jesus, who has become a high priest in the manner of Mel·chizʹe·dek forever. Hebrews 7:25 So he is able also to save completely those who are approaching God through him, because he is always alive to plead for them. Hebrews 9:24 For Christ did not enter into a holy place made with hands, which is a copy of the reality, but into heaven itself, so that he now appears before God on our behalf. 1 Timothy 2: 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself a corresponding ransom for all 2 Thessalonians 3:3 But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the wicked one. 4 Moreover, we have confidence in the Lord regarding you, that you are carrying out and will go on carrying out our instructions. 5 May the Lord continue to guide your hearts successfully to the love of God and to the endurance for the Christ……. 16 Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace constantly in every way. May the Lord be with all of you.17 Here is my greeting, Paul’s, in my own hand, which is a sign in every letter; this is the way I write.18 The undeserved kindness of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you. 1 Corinthians 1:7 so that you do not lack in any gift at all, while you are eagerly waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ. 8 He will also make you firm to the end so that you may be open to no accusation in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Thessalonians 3: 12 Moreover, may the Lord cause you to increase, yes, to abound in love for one another and for all, just as we do for you, 13 so that he may make your hearts firm, blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the presence of our Lord Jesus with all his holy ones. Jesus affirmed that he would be with his disciples after he ascended to heaven. Matthew 28:20 ….And look! I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.” Matthew 18:20 For where there are two or three gathered together in my name, there I am in their midst.” And Jesus' prayer in behalf of his disciples extends to his disciples today: John 17:20 “I make request, not concerning these only, but also concerning those putting faith in me through their word, 21 so that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in union with me and I am in union with you, that they also may be in union with us, so that the world may believe that you sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you have given me, in order that they may be one just as we are one. 23 I in union with them and you in union with me, in order that they may be perfected into one, so that the world may know that you sent me and that you loved them just as you loved me. 24 Father, I want those whom you have given me to be with me where I am, in order that they may look upon my glory that you have given me, because you loved me before the founding of the world. 25 Righteous Father, the world has, indeed, not come to know you, but I know you, and these have come to know that you sent me. 26 I have made your name known to them and will make it known, so that the love with which you loved me may be in them and I in union with them. Hebrews 5: 9 And after he had been made perfect, he became responsible for everlasting salvation to all those obeying him, 10 because he has been designated by God a high priest in the manner of Mel·chizʹe·dek. Ephesians 1:2 May you have undeserved kindness and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, for he has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in union with Christ, 4 as he chose us to be in union with him before the founding of the world, that we should be holy and unblemished before him in love. 5 For he foreordained us to be adopted as his own sons through Jesus Christ, according to his good pleasure and will, 6 in praise of his glorious undeserved kindness that he kindly bestowed on us by means of his beloved one. 7 By means of him we have the release by ransom through the blood of that one, yes, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his undeserved kindness.8 This undeserved kindness he caused to abound toward us in all wisdom and understanding 9 by making known to us the sacred secret of his will. It is according to his good pleasure that he himself purposed 10 for an administration at the full limit of the appointed times, to gather all things together in the Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth. Yes, in him …. 1 Corinthians 3:11 For no one can lay any other foundation than what is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

Ok، could we get an option so we can set ourselves how many posts we see on a page? That would help. Because it takes a lot of time to load Topics with many posts. And it takes a lot of scrolling too. Thanks in advance.

Suddenly I get all the posts under a topic on a single page. Does anybody know how to change that back to get say 10 replies on a single page?

Daniel 8:23-25 says: And in the final part of their kingdom, as the transgressors act to a completion, a fierce-looking king who understands ambiguous sayings will stand up. 24 His power will become great, but not through his own power. He will bring ruin in an extraordinary way, and he will be successful and act effectively. He will bring mighty ones to ruin, also the people made up of the holy ones. 25 And by his cunning he will use deception to succeed; and in his heart he will exalt himself; and during a time of security he will bring many to ruin. He will even stand up against the Prince of princes, but he will be broken without human hand. Those highlighted characteristics above are things that the media tell about Trump already. And how do people around the world perceive Donald Trump's facial image? Soft? Gentle? Or fierce? Needless to say.

I think it is getting closer to this: He will go back and hurl denunciations against the holy covenant and act effectively; and he will go back and will give attention to those leaving the holy covenant. (Daniel 11:30) Former Jehovah's witnesses who turn to authorities to punish the WT organization seem to fit "those leaving the holy covenant". I just think about David who refused to kill Saul. And you all know the story why. But anyway the prophecied things will happen.

With some exaggeration it could be said the whole book of Daniel is about Donald Trump. The horn that has eyes and a mouth that speaks arrogantly (Daniel 7): Donald Trump is accused of speaking arrogantly and bluntly. A fierce looking king (Daniel 8:23-25): Donald Trump has a fierce look. The king will do as he pleases, and he will exalt himself and magnify himself above every god; and against the God of gods he will speak astonishing things. And he will prove successful until the denunciation comes to a finish; because what is determined must take place. (Daniel 11:36): Donald Trump already fit some of these characteristics, he does as he pleases and brags openly and against all odds proves to be successful in staying in power and he has had success in domestic politics. The latest victory for him was of course the aquittal from impeachment. It really looks like Donald Trump is going to fulfill a lot more prophecies.

We can learn something from what apostle Paul said in Philippians 1:15: "True, some are preaching the Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. 16 The latter are proclaiming the Christ out of love, for they know that I have been appointed to defend the good news; 17 but the former do it out of contentiousness, not with a pure motive, for they are intending to create trouble for me in my prison bonds. 18 With what result? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is being proclaimed, and I rejoice over this. In fact, I will also keep on rejoicing," The Governing Body should not limit spiritual progress on earth. Jesus told that he gives talents to each of his slaves and sends them to increase his assets here on earth. So one slave should not put limits on other coslaves of their Master Jesus Christ. We are free to examine scriptures and believe them and preach about them. Do not ordinary JWs agree that USA plays an important role in Bible prophecies? I should not compromise with what I believe is true. Jesus said that we should not bother if we gain people's approval or not in a such case: John 5:44 "How can you believe, when you are accepting glory from one another and you are not seeking the glory that is from the only God? John 12:42 "All the same, many even of the rulers actually put faith in him, but they would not acknowledge him because of the Pharisees, so that they would not be expelled from the synagogue; 43 for they loved the glory of men even more than the glory of God." And Jesus' apostle Paul said a similar thing: Galatians 1:10 "Is it, in fact, men I am now trying to persuade or God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still pleasing men, I would not be Christ’s slave."

This NBC commentator makes valid points about President Donald Trump. And unintentionally this would fit to the Anti-Christ King some American preachers have warned would come. Those preachers in USA have explained that the "man of sin" or "man of lawlessness" in 2 Thessalonians 2 is a coming world ruler, the Anti-Christ. I just wounder how Donald Trump will take the criticism he just got. He could turn against Christianity as a revenge.

And has anybody wondered why the apostles did not act as today's Governing Body? The only time the apostles gathered to decide on doctrine was when they decided about circumcision. And then it was not only the apostles, but also the elders in Jerusalem. But later they did not stay as a group, but wrote letters individually to congregations as we know that. Not a single part of the Greek Christian Scriptures is written by any collective Governing Body type of group. Jesus was and is the Governing Body and he can directly direct his anointed. “I still have many things to say to you, but you are not able to bear them now. 13 However, when that one comes, the spirit of the truth, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak of his own initiative, but what he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things to come. 14 That one will glorify me, because he will receive from what is mine and will declare it to you.15 All the things that the Father has are mine. That is why I said he receives from what is mine and declares it to you.16 In a little while you will see me no longer, and again, in a little while you will see me.” "All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son is willing to reveal him.” -Luke 10:22 Every one who really believes directly in Jesus without filters such as the Governing Body can be taught by Jesus through the spirit of the truth. And what Jesus does, is that he opens the meaning of the Scriptures through the spirit. After his resurrection Jesus helped his disciples to understand the Scriptures and that he continues to do still today. "Then he opened up their minds fully to grasp the meaning of the Scriptures," Luke 24:45 Matthew 25:14 "For it is just like a man about to travel abroad who summoned his slaves and entrusted his belongings to them. 15 He gave five talents to one, two to another, and one to still another, to each according to his own ability, and he went abroad." I don't see here any filter between Jesus and his individual slaves, the individual anointed. "But I want you to know that the head of every man is the Christ,..." -1Corinthians 11:3 "Whoever has my commandments and observes them is the one who loves me. In turn, whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will clearly show myself to him.” -John 14:21 "The true light that gives light to every sort of man was about to come into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world came into existence through him, but the world did not know him. 11 He came to his own home, but his own people did not accept him. 12 However, to all who did receive him, he gave authority to become God’s children, because they were exercising faith in his name. 13 And they were born, not from blood or from a fleshly will or from man’s will, but from God. So, this explains why not all Jehovah's witnesses are anointed. Not all have faith to bypass Governing Body and believe Jesus directly. I hope you are not offended, but is not that what the Scriptures in fact say?

WT organization has indeed what in practical terms is a clergy class. The Govering Body requires absolute submission to its beliefs, similar or even more strict than other clergies. And the WT organization has a very strict hierarcy to enforce Governing Body control including elders, circuit overseers, branch commitees etc. If that is not a clergy, what is then a clergy? But the Bible says about the anointed: "As you come to him [Jesus], a living stone rejected by men but chosen, precious to God, you yourselves as living stones are being built up into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, in order to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. (1 Peter 2:4,5).......9 But you are “a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for special possession, that you should declare abroad the excellencies”of the One who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 10 For you were once not a people, but now you are God’s people once you had not been shown mercy, but now you have received mercy."

Tv reporter explains that President Donald Trump does not understand what love is. Or what to love enemies means. End time king?

Yes, that is interesting to do and should just get clearer as time goes on. Really various end time prophecies should become more and more easy to understand thanks to events in the end time.

You are so right! It is so important that we take that warning seriously. Yes, this will become the test of our obedience to God and his word. The Revelation book warns about that multiple times. Revelation13:14 It misleads those who dwell on the earth, because of the signs that it was permitted to perform in the sight of the wild beast, while it tells those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the wild beast that had the sword-stroke and yet revived.15 And it was permitted to give breath to the image of the wild beast, so that the image of the wild beast should both speak and cause to be killed all those who refuse to worship the image of the wild beast.16 It puts under compulsion all people—the small and the great, the rich and the poor, the free and the slaves—that these should be marked on their right hand or on their forehead, 17 and that nobody can buy or sell except a person having the mark, the name of the wild beast or the number of its name. Revelation 14:9 Another angel, a third, followed them, saying in a loud voice: “If anyone worships the wild beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he will also drink of the wine of the anger of God that is poured out undiluted into the cup of His wrath, and he will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the sight of the holy angels and in the sight of the Lamb. Revelation 16:1 ...... Go and pour out the seven bowls of the anger of God on the earth.” 2 The first one went off and poured out his bowl on the earth. And a hurtful and malignant ulcer afflicted the people who had the mark of the wild beast and who were worshipping its image. Revelation 19:20 And the wild beast was caught, and along with it the false prophet that performed in front of it the signs with which he misled those who received the mark of the wild beast and those who worship its image. While still alive, they both were hurled into the fiery lake that burns with sulfur. Revelation 20:4 ....Yes, I saw the souls of those executed for the witness they gave about Jesus and for speaking about God, and those who had not worshipped the wild beast or its image and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand. Yes, we see that the worship of the beast and taking the mark of the beast will according to the book of Revelation become the test of obedience the final time leading up to Armageddon. This requires serious thought. Arauna, I would like to find more information about that time plan. Have you any links to such information? And thanks for replying to me, I felt encouraged.

@JW Insider I have seen that there are always those who do everything to discredit whistleblowers, no matter the subject. Plus, all this confirm that there is an entity that has power over the kings of the earth. (Revelation 17:18) Different people that have investigated the subject point to what they call 'Wall Street'. It is a 3D chess. These "secret power-brokers" travel around the world and meet with presidents and primeministers and party secreterians. I was amazed about 2 years ago when I learned that Kissinger had visited Putin 26 times. I can't say if everything all these whistleblowers say are pure facts, some of what they say are their opinions based on their intuition. But in general they are right.

The corbettreport mentioned Antony C Sutton. And I found this video where he explains how Wallstreet financed the Bolsheviks.

https://www.corbettreport.com/episode-297-china-and-the-new-world-order/ This is an interesting podcast explaining how China has risen with a deliberate aide from West. And what is the goal behind it.

Hi 4Jah2me, prophetic events going on in Syria and France indicate that a huge change is under way concerning the WT organization. Daniel 11:29,30 foretells about the war in Syria. When USA will be completely defeated there and leaves Syria, USA will "go back and hurl denunciations against the holy covenant" and thereafter the pressure will just intensify against the WT organization in USA. Verse 31 says: "and they will profane the sanctuary, the fortress, and remove the constant feature." This is just about the same thing as in an other visions Daniel got in Daniel 8:13 and Daniel 12:7. And always when the Bible speaks about 1260 days, 42 months and time times and half a time, it is about the same period. And in addition the Bible mentions 1290 days and 1335 days and 2300 days and it really seems that all these periods begin the same day. So this ties in Revelation 13 where it talks about a deadly wound to one of the heads of a seven headed beast. After the head has healed a 42 month period of tribulation will begin. That beast will get great authority from the Devil and it will be required that people worship the beast and its image and take the mark of the beast, or its name or its number. Now, one of the heads of that seven headed beast is wounded. It is about the hard hitting protests of the Yellow West movement in France. It has been going on for more than a year. They have been protesting against the globalist elitist Macron's politics. But the globalist sevenheaded beast is not making much concessions. And I am just asking when will the protesters tire out to protest. That would be the healing of the wounded head, and the next fase of the prophecy could begin to take place. Yes, these two things should happen quite soon, USA leaving Syria completely and the Yellow West protests ending in France. Then the tribulation would begin against the WT organization, leading to huge change. What happened to the WT organization in Russia is just a preview of what is coming world wide.
