Do not be afraid . . . ; you will be king over Israel, and I will become second to you.—1 Sam. 23:17. Jonathan must have been astonished by the way young David faced the giant Goliath. Now David stood before Jonathan’s father, King Saul of Israel, “with the head of the Philistine in his hand.” (1 Sam. 17:57) Jonathan probably admired David for his courage. It was clear that God was with David, and “Jonathan and David became bound together in close friendship.” In fact, they “made a covenant because [Jonathan] loved [David] as himself.” (1 Sam. 18:1-3) For the rest of his life, he was loyal to David. Jonathan’s attachment to David endured, even though God had chosen D…

What has Our Lord Christ Jesus Done For You? ????? Yes, He is Now God's Appointed King of God's Kingdom! Be Part of that Kingdom Today!"In that [Jesus] 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."—Heb. 2:18. ????? Jesus’ own experience as a human did much to help qualify him as King. The apostle Paul wrote: “He was obliged to become like his ‘brothers’ in all respects, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, in order to offer propitiatory sacrifice for the sins of the people.” (Heb. 2:17) ????? Because Jesus was “put to t…

"Everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved."— (Rom. 10:13) ????????? In the Middle Ages, God’s personal name was rather widely known in Europe. That name, represented by four Hebrew letters called the Tetragrammaton and commonly transliterated YHWH (or JHVH), appeared on coins, on facades of houses, in many books and Bibles, and even in some Catholic and Protestant churches. ????????? However, the trend in recent times is to eliminate the name of God from Bible translations and from other uses. One indication of this is the Letter to the Bishops’ Conferences on ‘the Name of God,’ dated June 29, 2008. ????????? In it the Roman …

Jehovah’s Restored People Praise Him Earth Wide! ? ??????? “I shall give to peoples the change to a pure language, in order for them all to call upon the name of Jehovah.”—ZEPHANIAH 3:9 ???????? (Zephaniah 3:17) . . ."Jehovah your God is in the midst of you. As a mighty One, he will save. He will exult over you with rejoicing. He will become silent in his love. He will be joyful over you with happy cries." ???????? When would this happen? As the prophecy said, “in the final part of the days”—yes, during these “last days.” (2 Timothy 3:1) This would take place before the end of the present wicked system of things while the nations still worsh…

"Although Jesus Christ had performed so many signs before them, they were not putting faith in him, so that the word of Isaiah the prophet was fulfilled."—John 12:37, 38. ????? Yes, despite all the good done by the Messiah, many people would not believe in him. (Isa. 53:1) ????? Also, few put faith in the good news about Jesus, the Messiah, during the ministry of the apostle Paul. (Rom. 10:16, 17) ????? The Scriptures foretold that the Messiah would be hated without cause. (Ps. 69:4) ????? The apostle John quotes Jesus as saying: “They have both seen and hated me as well as my Father. But it is that the word written in their Law …

Sing Praises to Jehovah - Before you Sleep Sing a Song to Jehovah! - He Loves to hear Us Sing! ??????? “Sing to Jehovah, all you people of the earth. For Jehovah is great and very much to be praised.”—Psalm 96:1, 4. This was one of my favorites from the older songbook: Song 222 Keep Your Eyes on the Prize! (2 Corinthians 4:18) 1. When eyes of blind ones see again And ears of deaf ones hear again, When deserts blossom as the rose And from parched ground fresh water flows, When lame ones leap just like the hart, When loved ones never have to part —Such blessed times you’ll realize If you keep your eyes on the …

"In showing honor to one another take the lead." — (Rom. 12:10) ????? What is involved in honoring others? It starts with respect. In fact, the words “honor” and “respect” are often used together because they are closely related. ????? Honor is the manifestation, or outward demonstration, of respect. In other words, respect refers primarily to how we view our brother while honor refers to how we treat our brother. How can a Christian show genuine honor to fellow believers if he does not have heartfelt respect for them? ?????

“He is making green grass sprout for the beasts, and vegetation for the service of mankind, to cause food to go forth from the earth, and wine that makes the heart of mortal man rejoice, to make the face shine with oil, and bread that sustains the very heart of mortal man.” (Psalm 104:14, 15) ????? Healthful Food for All—Soon! ??????? YOU can take practical steps to enjoy safer food. However, many factors are beyond your control.

Spider Silk: Stronger Than Steel? ????? “Two to three times the strength of high-quality steel.” “Flexible enough to stretch 30 per cent before breaking.” Only “a thousandth of a millimetre in diameter” (“a hundredth the size of a human hair”). What is it? A wonder of modern technology? No, it is the silk spun by the tiny brown spider named aranei diademati, commonly known as the orb web spider. Scientists at the University of British Columbia studying the design of this natural product find that “generally, the stronger a substance gets, the more rigid it gets.” ????? Yet, “the unique arrangement of the molecules in a strand of [spider] silk . . . al…

“Do Not Let Your Hands Drop Down” ?????????????????? “Do not let your hands drop down.”—ZEPH. 3:16. ?????????????????? Moses put into action a plan that proved to be the key to their success. Moses kept his hands and the rod of the true God lifted up toward heaven. As long as Moses did that, Jehovah empowered the hands of the Israelites to fight successfully against the Amalekites. However, when Moses’ hands became heavy and began to drop down, the Amalekites started to win. Acting with decisiveness, Aaron and Hur “took a stone and put it under [Moses], and he sat on it. Then Aaron and Hur, one on each side, supported his hands, so that his hands remai…

A woman sees 99 million more colors than ordinary people..... A British is currently puzzling physicians in England by her unusual ability to see 99 million more colors than average other people. The extreme multifariousness of the woman is due to the fact that she has four different types of color-sensitive photoreceptors, so-called pegs, on the light-sensitive retina of her eyes. In addition to some speculative cases, the woman, known only as "cDa29", is the first and as yet only proven case of tetrachromatia, which is probably only affecting women in humans. The team around the neuroscientist Gabriele Jordan has been looking for a tetrachromat for 20 years,…

(Ezekiel 44:25, 26) “They should not approach any dead human, or they will become unclean. However, they may make themselves unclean for their father, mother, son, daughter, brother, or an unmarried sister. And after the purification of a priest, they should count off seven days for him” The priest should not contact any dead human… except his nearest relatives. Jehovah is very reasonable and comprehensive when dictating rules. Would not it be fine to apply the same principle when we deal with disfellowshipped people? Why Paul doesn’t mention these exceptions in 1Cor 5? Why Ezekiel doesn’t mention the priest’s wife? Perhaps, because the common sense would…

Despite the persistent attempts of the prosecutor's office to find two peaceful believers to be "extremists," the court again issued a verdict of acquittal with the right of rehabilitation. On 21 June 2017 the Sergiev-Posad city court published the verdict that acquitted Viacheslav Stepanov and Andrei Sivaka, Jehovah's Witnesses from Sergiev Posad (Moscow province), who over the course of four years have been subjected to unfair criminal prosecution. Earlier, on 4 March 2016, the court found these believers innocent, but on the basis of the demand of the prosecutor's office the criminal case was considered a second time by a different judge. Wishing to justify the y…

The above covers of Watchtowers with a cross and crown in the top left corner ended during the year of my birth. As a young lad of 16, I stayed at the Dunroamin Private hotel in Pretoria while at my first job. The landlady Mrs Kinsella may have been a Jehovah's Witness, or Witnesses called at the hotel. Bedsides various magazines, her library contained a few Watchtowers. Although schooled at the Catholic Marist Brothers, I only had basic Bible knowledge but was keen to learn more, so I took one of the above magazines to my room. At that stage it was believed that all religions lead to God, so the contents didn't impress me, but the picture at the top left of the corner di…

If so, how many copies of each issue are you required to purchase for distribution? 3. What is the current price for the “Awake” and “Watchtower” magazines? 4. What happens if you can’t sell all the copies for that issue? Do you get reimbursed?
