    Reading the news reports on this potentially major find I was delighted to read that this clay seal purported to be a clay seal of Isaiah was found only 10 feel away from where the Royal seal of Hezekiah - King of Judea & Jerusalem - had been found recently also.

    As we will all remember from the drama at the convention in 2016, King Hezekiah looked to Isaiah for counsel from Jehovah on matters of state. So for these signature seals to be found in close proximity, yet again we find the Bible being proved accurate & historical. 

    Amazing to think also that these seals date back to the time when Jehovah's Angel destroyed 185,000 Assyrian troops of the then dominant world empire ruled by the merciless King Sennacherib; after he had Jehovah's name taunted in front of the gates of Jerusalem & threatened to annihilate its residents & destroy the City & the temple.

    How we all long for the day when everyone on earth will come to know that Jehovah alone is the true God & that his name has been vindicated.

  2. IS MONEY THE FIRST THING IN YOUR LIFE? CAN'T LIFE WITHOUT?

    ?????

    (Proverbs 18:11) The valuable things of the rich are his strong town, and they are like a protective wall in his imagination."

    The spirit of the world promotes “the desire of the eyes” by encouraging greed and materialism.

    (1 John 2:16) because everything in the world—the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and the showy display of one’s means of life—does not originate with the Father, but originates with the world."

    It has nurtured in many a determination to be rich. 

    (1 Timothy 6:9-10) However, those who are determined to be rich fall into temptation and a snare and many senseless and hurtful desires, which plunge men into destruction and ruin. 10 For the love of money is a root of all sorts of injurious things, and by reaching out for this love some have been led astray from the faith and have stabbed themselves all over with many pains."

    That spirit would have us believe that a stockpile of material things will provide lasting security. We should ask ourselves, ‘Has my life become focused on a quest for material comforts and pleasures?’ By contrast, God’s spirit-inspired Word encourages us to have a balanced view of money and to work hard to provide material necessities for ourselves and our family. 

    (1 Timothy 5:8) Certainly if anyone does not provide for those who are his own, and especially for those who are members of his household, he has disowned the faith and is worse than a person without faith."

    GodÂ’s spirit helps those who receive it to reflect JehovahÂ’s generous personality. Such ones are known as givers, not takers. They value people more highly than things and gladly share what they have when they can afford to do so.

    (Proverbs 3:27-28) Do not hold back good from those to whom it is owing, when it happens to be in the power of your hand to do [it]. 28 Do not say to your fellowman: “Go, and come back and tomorrow I shall give,” when there is something with you."

    And they never allow the pursuit of money to take precedence over serving God.

  4. Signature of Isaiah Discovered in Jerusalem
    Excavations in Jerusalem have unearthed what may be the first extra-Biblical evidence of the prophet Isaiah. Just South of the temple mount, in the excavations of Ophel, Archaeologist Eilat Mazar and his team discovered a small imprint of seal that says "[belonging to nvy ". missing the top of the printing and is damaged The left side. . Reconstructing a few Hebrew letters in this damaged area would make the impression "[belonging to the prophet isaiah ". if the reconstruction is maintained, this may be the signature of the biblical prophet Isaiah

  5. Amazing Talent! Watch ?????

    .

    19-year-old cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason (@shekukannehmason) will always remember the moment he was asked to play at the #RoyalWedding. “I was getting into a car after filming a music video in South London,” says Sheku, who performed today during the wedding ceremony of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle (@kensingtonroyal) in Windsor, England. “It was, of course, very exciting to get the phone call, and I was very honored that Harry and Meghan were aware of my music. ItÂ’s exciting to play in such a lovely place on such a special occasion.”

  6. Pope Francis' reported comments to a gay man that "God made you like this" have been embraced by the LGBT community as another sign of Francis' desire to make gays feel welcomed and loved in the Catholic Church.
    Juan Carlos Cruz, the main whistleblower in Chile's clerical sex abuse and cover-up scandal, said Monday he spoke to Francis about his homosexuality during their recent meetings at the Vatican. The pope invited Cruz and other victims of a Chilean predator priest to discuss their cases last month.

  7. DUE TO THE BAN IN RUSSIA ,MORE THAN 4,500 JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES AND FRIENDS TRAVELLED TO HELSINKI,FINLAND TO ATTEND THE 3-DAY REGIONAL CONVENTION

    This convention was organised just for our Russian brothers and sisters and some of them had travelled 10,000 kilometres to get there.
    The Finnish brothers opened their homes to the Russian brothers whom
    they didn't know personally, providing over  4,500 delegates with accomodation, food and transport to the Convention for all three days.
    Despite the fact that most Finns don't speak a word of Russian, love helped to overcome the linguistic barriers (John 13:35).
    Brother Mark Sanderson, of the Governing Body, was amongst those present, having come specifically to strengthen our persecuted brothers in russia.
    Can you hear the love and joy from their singing to Jehovah?
    Psalms 118:6: "Jehovah is on my side; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?"
     

     

  8. Don't let fear and anger, grief, worry, stress take over your body....they destroy the body! -

    We have a resting place with Jehovah! - The wicked will be shown up! - We need to Pray for deliverance and put it in Jehovah's hands....He says: "They will do no harm nor cause any ruin in all my holy mountain,” Jehovah has said. This is what Jehovah has said: “The heavens are my throne, and the earth is my footstool."

    (1 Peter 3:10-18) . . .For, “he that would love life and see good days, let him restrain his tongue from what is bad and [his] lips from speaking deception, 11 but let him turn away from what is bad and do what is good; let him seek peace and pursue it. 12 For [the] eyes of Jehovah are upon the righteous ones, and his ears are toward their supplication; but [the] face of Jehovah is against those doing bad things.” 13 Indeed, who is the man that will harm YOU if YOU become zealous for what is good? 14 But even if YOU should suffer for the sake of righteousness, YOU are happy."
    However, the object of their fear do not YOU fear, neither become agitated. 15 But sanctify the Christ as Lord in YOUR hearts, always ready to make a defense before everyone that demands of YOU a reason for the hope in YOU, but doing so together with a mild temper and deep respect. 16 Hold a good conscience, so that in the particular in which YOU are spoken against they may get ashamed who are speaking slightingly of YOUR good conduct in connection with Christ. 17 For it is better to suffer because YOU are doing good, if the will of God wishes it, than because YOU are doing evil. 18 Why, even Christ died once for all time concerning sins, a righteous [person] for unrighteous ones, that he might lead YOU to God, he being put to death in the flesh, but being made alive in the spirit."

    (Isaiah 65:24-66:2) . . .And it will actually occur that before they call out I myself shall answer; while they are yet speaking, I myself shall hear. 25 “The wolf and the lamb themselves will feed as one, and the lion will eat straw just like the bull; and as for the serpent, his food will be dust. They will do no harm nor cause any ruin in all my holy mountain,” Jehovah has said. 66 This is what Jehovah has said: “The heavens are my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Where, then, is the house that YOU people can build for me, and where, then, is the place as a resting-place for me?” 2 “Now all these things my own hand has made, so that all these came to be,” is the utterance of Jehovah. “To this one, then, I shall look, to the one afflicted and contrite in spirit and trembling at my word."

  9. According to the us Press:
    Jehovah's Witnesses call on the international community to help them protect their right to worship freely in Russia.

    Russia is shamelessly pursuing Jehovah's witnesses, despite the fact that respected international human rights organizations have condemned their actions. These absolute abuses of our religious freedom do not go unnoticed ", he told Newsweek David Semonian, international spokesperson for Jehovah's witnesses at his world headquarters in New York.

    "we hope that the harassment of our devotees will end and that those detainees will be released and returned to their families as soon as possible", said semonian. http://www.newsweek.com/jehovahs-witnesses-russia-are-having-their-homes-raided-even-remote-towns-934734

    I had a conversation with an Elder sometime in the summer of 2016 about this explosion of technology that the Brotherhood had adopted, from the bottom up ... and I asked him "Do you remember when computer competency, and having an Internet connection was frowned upon, and considered evil?

    He paused ... looked down ... raised his eyebrows and  let out a long sigh ... and said "Yeah ....".

  12. JW’S in russia are treated as criminals.. 
    RUSSIA CALLS " DAY OF JUDGEMENT " ON JEHOVAH WITNESSES AS POLICE, FSB AND OTHER FORCES IN 9 DIFFERENT REGIONS IN RUSSIA CONDUCTS AGGRESSIVE RAIDS ON JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES CONFISCATING PROPERTIES AND  DETAINING BOTH YOUNG AND OLD FOR INTERROGATION. 

    On 10, 18, 19  20 April 2018 and even recently on may 17 2018, a series of searches were carried out in the homes of citizens suspected of Jehovah's Witnesses in bashkortostan, murmansk region, seaside province and ivanovo region and other regions. 

    In what appears to be a coordinated campaign, special police forces (OMON), at times wearing masks and carrying machine guns, raided WitnessesÂ’ homes, pointed guns at them,destroying properties and valuables and detaining both young and old for interrogations.

    The searches were conducted almost simultaneously, with the participation of armed riot policemen, who acted extremely rudely.During one of the searches, official officers invaded the believers and placed a pistol in the neighbor's head in the communal apartment, although the man did not offer resistance, and forced this peaceful man to lay on the ground, so that he remained in that position for about 15 minutes.The man was threatened with handcuffs to prevent him from obtaining legal advice by phone.
     

    In the evening, Roman Markin was at home with his 16-year-old daughter. At 19:40 the door to their apartment was knocked out by special forces. Threatening with weapons, they were forced to lie down on the floor and searched. Markin's daughter was taken away and interrogated until 3 am. In another place an elderly man opened a door to a group of armed special forces, and they pushed him so violently that he fell. By their actions, law enforcers hurt two more women who were visiting. Adolescents, siblings, were put to the wall and ordered to keep their arms outstretched. A total of 17 citizens were searched, all electronic devices were seized and taken to the interrogation, which lasted until 7am the following day. 
    In one of the regions, the officer said to the witnesses:“You will be let go as soon as you state that you are not a member of the organization of Jehovah’s Witnesses.” In another case, an officer also  told a victim: “We are ridding the earth of you.” All the Witnesses were taken to the police station for fingerprinting and further questioning.
    Officers raided the home of Anatoliy Vilitkevich and arrested him. They told his wife that she would not see her husband “for a long time.” Just like Dennis, authorities have charged him under Article 282.2(1) of the Criminal Code with ‘organizing the activity of an extremist organization’ and are holding him in pretrial detention until June 2, 2018.

    If convicted, he faces up to ten years in prison. . 
    It must be noted that in october 2016,the law enforcement officers came to the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses in russia, and stated that the building could have weapons. As expected, weapons were not found, but banned brochures were demonstratively  "discovered". The epidemic of such falsifications led to the decision of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, which caused arrests of believers.

    All searches and arrests were the direct consequences of the Russian Supreme Court decision liquidating and banning all legal entities of Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia.
