What Is the Battle of Armageddon? The Bible’s answer The battle of Armageddon refers to the final war between human governments and God. These governments and their supporters oppose God even now by refusing to submit to his rulership. (Psalm 2:2) The battle of Armageddon will bring human rulership to an end. Daniel 2:44. The word “Armageddon” occurs only once in the Bible, at Revelation 16:16. Prophetically, Revelation shows that at “the place that is called in Hebrew Armageddon,” “the kings of the entire inhabited earth” will be gathered “together to the war of the great day of God the Almighty.” Revelation 16:14. Who will fight at Armageddon? J…

Russia Bans Jehovah’s Witnesses After Religious Right Hailed Putin As Christian Hero By Brian Tashman | April 21, 2017 11:27 am For years, American Religious Right activists praised Russian president Vladimir Putin as a champion of Christianity and conservative morality, even as his government was taking steps to curb the rights of religious minorities, including evangelical Christians and groups like Jehovah’s Witnesses. Putin even sponsored militias that targeted Protestants in eastern Ukraine and signed a law banning evangelism by non-Orthodox religions. None of this seemed to matter to the U.S. Religious Right as long as Putin kept up …

The U.S. State Department has condemned the Russian ban on Jehovah's Witnesses. "The United States is extremely concerned by the Russian government's actions targeting and repressing members of religious minorities, including Jehovah's Witnesses, under the pretense of combating extremism," Acting State Department spokesman Mark C. Toner told U.S. News by email late Thursday night. Earlier Thursday, the Russian Supreme Court called the pacifist religious sect extremist and ordered the shuttering of more than 300 chapters in the country. "We call on the Russian authorities to ensure that Russia's anti-terrorism and anti-extremism legislation is not misused to…

Debra Sarjeant, the wife of murder victim Charleston Sarjeant, placed flowers on her husband's casket at Oak Lawn Cemetery as their three children looked on. Charlie had each come to the United States with their families at age 5, Debra from Trinidad and Charlie from Barbados. Both grew up Jehovah’s Witnesses. They started dating when Debra was in 10th grade, and they married in 1986, when she was 18 and he was 20. By the spring of 1992, they were in Dorchester raising three children, ages 5, 3, and 1. source

"God is not unrighteous so as to forget your work."—Heb. 6:10. Jehovah Is an Appreciative God Jehovah would consider it unrighteous on his part if he were to show a lack of appreciation. Says Hebrews 6:10: “God is not unrighteous so as to forget your work and the love you showed for his name, in that you have ministered to the holy ones and continue ministering.” What makes this statement remarkable is that God shows appreciation for devoted people even though they are sinners and fall short of his glory.—Romans 3:23. Because of our imperfection, we may feel that our deeds of godly devotion are insignificant and unworthy of God’s blessing. Jehovah, t…

"It is enough! Now, O Jehovah, take my life away."—1 Ki. 19:4. You prove that you are “in the faith” when you do all you can for Jehovah “TAKE MY LIFE AWAY” (a) What negative feelings did Elijah have? (b) Why might Elijah have felt as he did? The prophet Elijah was loyal to Jehovah and had strong faith. Yet, at one point he felt so disappointed that he asked Jehovah to put him to death, saying: “It is enough! Now, O Jehovah, take my life away.” (1 Kings 19:4) Those who have never felt so desperate might think that Elijah’s prayer was just “wild talk.” (Job 6:3) But his feelings were real. Note that rather than becoming angry with Elijah, Jehovah helpe…

Keep on the watch.—Mark 13:35. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/4/21 Upon recognizing that Christ’s presence began in 1914, Jesus’ followers rightly prepared for a possible early arrival of the end. They did so by intensifying their Kingdom-preaching work. Jesus indicated that he might come later—“at dawn or early in the morning.” If that happened, how were his followers to respond? He said: “Keep on the watch.” So a long wait would not justify mentally postponing the end or totally dismissing their expectations. In the new world, we will have reason to reflect on the fact that all the foretold events associated with the conclusion of the system of thin…

"For then there will be great tribulation such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now, no, nor will occur again." (Matthew 24:21) What happens after the great tribulation is cut short? Jesus explained that several events will happen before Armageddon begins. These events are mentioned at Ezekiel 38:14-16 andMatthew 24:29-31. Then we will see Armageddon. The battle of Armageddon is the climax of the great tribulation, just as the destruction of Jerusalem was the climax of the first fulfillment of the prophecy. (Malachi 4:1) The great tribulation, with Armageddon as its climax, will be an event such as has not happened “since the world’s …

20 "The one who shows insight in a matter will find success, And happy is the one trusting in Jehovah." (Proverbs 16:20) Strengthen Your Marriage Through Good Communication A successful marriage is, indeed, the product of hard work. But the results include immeasurable happiness. Mates who love each other can truly enjoy their life together. (Eccl. 9:9) Consider the loving marriage of Isaac and Rebekah. (Gen. 24:67) Even after they had spent some time together as husband and wife, there is no indication that their affection for each other had waned. The same can be said of many couples today. Their secret? They have learned to convey their thou…

I love getting snail mail so I was pleasantly surprised to get home from work today and see a handwritten letter addressed to me. After a quick glimpse at the return address with no recognition, I wondered what baby shower, bridal shower, or engagement party invitation lay awaiting inside. Turns out it was a little more important than any of those life events. The girl who sent me this letter was quite literally trying to save my life (or soul?) by way of converting me to her religion, Christianity. I already consider myself a Christian, but according to the straightforward letter and tract I found inside, I’m not the right kind of Christian. For some reason, …

3 "When I am afraid, I put my trust in you." (Psalms 56:3) Be Wise—Fear God! “The fear of Jehovah is the start of wisdom.”—PROVERBS 9:10. On one occasion, David sought refuge with Achish, king of the Philistine city of Gath, the home of Goliath. (1 Samuel 21:10-15) The king’s servants denounced David as an enemy of their nation. How did David react in that dangerous situation? He poured out his heart in prayer to Jehovah. (Psalm 56:1-4, 11-13) Although he had to feign insanity to get away, David knew that it was really Jehovah who had delivered him by blessing his efforts. David’s wholehearted reliance on Jehovah and confidence in him showed tha…
