I never thought  I'd miss it,  this going from door to door....
I have to admit to being happy,  when they said" we'd do it no more,"
I never saw it for what it was,
that Jehovah's day was dawning,
I just remember thinking...great!
Roll on Saturday morning!

I wish that now I'd made an effort,
and done what I knew  I should  -
What would it have taken?... not that much,
Just to do whatever I could.
But now I fear it's much too late,  as I lie here on my bed.

I look up at the sky - at the sign,
it fills me with sickening dread.
Who'd have thought the sign He sent,
would be so loud and clear,
Bringing joy to those who did their best,
to the rest - just abject fear.

It all now seems so pointless,
my sitting on the fence,
If only I could go back...
and use my common sense!
You know I never really liked the world,
or used it to the full,

My spiritual life was lukewarm,
or should I say it was dull?
The signs been here for a month or two,
everyone knows what's next...
They weep and wail and beat themselves,
these people are sorely vexed.

They lie on the streets - amid their gold
their money cast asunder
They found their money had no worth,
as they threw it at the thunder.
Oh woe is me! Oh woe is me!

I wish I'd done what's right.
I'd serve Jehovah with all my strength,
I'd serve him with my might!
I'd read my Bible, pray to Him
to make me know his ways.

I'd love His law, I'd do His will,
I'd serve him all my days.
But wait! What's that?
I hear a voice
it's depth to deep to hear,

It's not a sound you'd say you hear,
but a voice to the hearts of men.
Instinctively I know it,
and I feel the thrill of dread.
As the voice explains to me,

why soon I will be dead
Through my tears, I look outside
and see my one time brothers,
Walking to their inner rooms
that they will share with others

They sing a song, a song of joy...
but also one of sadness,
They take no pleasure in our deaths,
our deaths bring them no gladness.
I recognize their song, I do!
Its melody once I cherished,

I'd love to sing it just one more time,
just once before I perish!
But this song isn't mine - I cannot sing,
my heart is gripped with fear.
All I can do is lift my head,
and this is what I hear:

" Then they will know,
your ways are just and true.
Then they will know.......
all you purposed you will surely do!"
They sing this song as they close their doors
and lock themselves away

They sing their song their heads held high,
they take the time to pray.
The ground shakes - the heavens roar,
the stars fall from heaven.
I feel a bump, I open my eyes,

my alarm says a quarter to seven!
Relief floods over me, I'm not going to die!
It was was just a scary nightmare
But that's not the end, there's more to it,
and that's why I ask you to share

Take a look at your life,
see what's important to you,
are there changes you need to make?
Now is the time, don't delay,
act before it is too late!

Ask yourself as you read this
on your tablet or your phone,
Have  I Really....
made the truth... my own?

    • Tout est dans le titre. En français. Il s'agit de la transcription des 66 livres de la Bible présent dans JwLibrary Rubrique Vidéos; Livres de la Bible. Salutations JPL Transcriptions Bible Introductions+.rar
    • Let the bible speak for itself: Ezekiel 38:   ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah says: “On that day when my people Israel are dwelling in security, will you not know it?q 15  You will come from your place, from the remotest parts of the north,r you and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great assembly, a vast army.s 16  Like clouds covering the land, you will come against my people Israel. In the final part of the days I will bring you against my landt so that the nations may know me when I sanctify myself through you before their eyes, O Gog.”’u...... ‘Every man’s sword will be against his own brother.x 22  I will bring my judgment against him* with pestilencey and bloodshed; and I will rain down a torrential downpour and hailstonesz and firea and sulfurb on him and on his troops and on the many peoples with him.c 23  And I will certainly magnify myself and sanctify myself and make myself known before the eyes of many nations; and they will have to know that I am Jehovah.’ So Jehovah will be magnified as the true god.... when they attack the Israel of god  - read Gal 6:16. Anointed Christians are the new Israel of god. Hebrews 12:22 "But you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem."  Jesus is the Anointed one (Messiah) who, during the 1000 years will rule over the earth to restore the original paradise (the original purpose of God).  He will be king and priest. This means that his ransom sacrifice will be applied to all those who are resurrected on earth (earthly part of Jehovah's universal government).  This will include "unrighteous" ones who never knew anything about Christ or Jehovah.   Acts 24:15 " And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrectionk of both the righteous and the unrighteous."l Read Revelation 20:1 -3  This shows that there will be nations on earth that will survive the great tribulation. verse 3: " And he hurled him into the abyssf and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not mislead the nations anymore until the 1,000 years were ended. After this he must be released for a little while." After the final test when all humans (as perfect individuals like Adam) will be tested like Adam was, Jesus will hand over the Kingdom back to his father.  1 Cor 15: from 24 "  Next, the end, when he hands over the Kingdom to his God and Father, when he has brought to nothing all government and all authority and power.e 25  For he must rule as king until God has put all enemies under his feet.f 26  And the last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing.g 27  For God “subjected all things under his feet.”h But when he says that ‘all things have been subjected,’i it is evident that this does not include the One who subjected all things to him.j 28  But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him,k that God may be all things to everyone." l
