Indian summer is a period of unseasonably warm, dry weather that sometimes occurs in autumn in the Northern Hemisphere. The US National Weather Service defines this as weather conditions that are sunny and clear with above normal temperatures, occurring late-September to mid-November.[1] It is usually described as occurring after a killing frost...

SPIRITUAL GEMS - week from 9th to 15th of October.
12: 3. Who are those who have insight, and when do they shine "as the brightness of the expanse"? (w13 15/7 page 13, paragraph 16, final note).
Those who have perspicacity are anointed Christians and "shine" when participating in preaching.
12:13. What does it mean that Daniel would stand up? (pp. 315 para 18).
When Daniel returns to life through resurrection.
What has Jehovah taught you this week's Bible reading?
Daniel 12: 1-10.
He teaches us of Jehovah that he is a God of prophecy. We say this because His prophets revealed to them things that would have a future fulfillment beyond their time. And now we can witness their fulfillment.
Daniel 12: 3.
He teaches us of his undeserved kindness. In these verses the prophet Daniel wrote that at the time of the end the anointed ones would bring "many to righteousness." This is achieved through the preaching of the Kingdom message. In this way Jehovah's laws are taught to millions of people, making God consider them righteous by demonstrating the undeserved goodness of Jehovah.
What other spiritual pearls did you find in this week's Bible reading?
Daniel 10:11.
In these verses Daniel was called "very desirable" because he was a humble, devout man and devoted to study and prayer. It was precisely these qualities that allowed him to remain faithful to God until the end of his life. This encourages us to follow his example of humility and devotion to Jehovah.
Daniel 10: 9-11.
In imitation of the angel who was sent to Daniel, we should encourage and strengthen our brothers, offering them a helping hand and offering them words of comfort.
********************************** Daniel 11:12: The prophecy we find in this chapter is interesting, but we must not speculate on who might be the King of the North, as he mentions w93 1/11 para . 2. Rather, we should be alert and strengthened in a spiritual sense because we do not know when we will pass through a test of faith that puts us against the wall.
***************************************In Daniel 10:11: We see that The name that became Daniel was definitely of a loyal man. There we saw how not only the angel told him that he was a desirable man but a "very desirable man." This reminds us that we must treat our relatives with special words, especially our spouse and children ... for they also expect words of love and tenderness ... Let not the influence of the world make us hard people, let us try to abrupt way to those we love.
*********************************Daniel 12:13 there Daniel has allusion to the resurrection which he who has been a very desirable man humble loyal and finds applied what he learned from the scriptures shows me the faith so great that he had in this valuable promise, and this text can also be used in the ministry to give people hope about the blessings that are to come.
****************************** Daniel 11:32 speaks that if one acts iniquitously against the covenant, he will lead them to apostasy by sweet words, which teaches me that acting in an unrighteous manner without repentance brings serious consequences that ends in speaking badly of the organization of Jehovah and apostasy the only sin for which there is no pardon.
**********************************Daniel 12: 1 there is mentioned Michael the son of God who has been given full authority to act against unjust human governments at the end of the text mentions that alone it will escape all that was written in the book, which gives us the guarantee that everything will improve under the government of Jesus and we encourage to continue striving.

Why so many Bibles?
Why are there so many biblical versions or translations? Do you think the new versions are a help or an obstacle to understanding the Bible? Knowing their origins will help us evaluate them well.
Let's start seeing who wrote the Bible and when.
The Original Bible
Generally, the Bible is divided into two sections. The first consists of 39 books containing "the sacred formal declarations of God" (Romans 3:2). God inspired faithful men to write these books for a long period of time, about 1513 years since 1513 (before the common era) until shortly after 443 A.E.C. wrote primarily in Hebrew, so we call this section the Hebrew Scriptures, also known as "Old Testament".
The second section consists of 27 books that are also considered "the word of God" (1 Thessalonians 2:13). God inspired some faithful disciples of Jesus Christ to write these books for a much shorter period of time, About 41 years from around 41 E.C. (was common) until 98. They wrote mainly in Greek, so we call this section the Christian Greek Scriptures, also known as "New Testament".
These 66 inspired books form the full Bible, God's message for humanity. But why did you do more translations of the Bible? Let's see three of the main reasons.
So that people could read the Bible in their mother tongue.
To remove the errors of the copyists and retrieve the original text.
To update the language.
Let us look at how these factors were taken into account in two of the first translations.
The Greek Septuagint
About three hundred years before Jesus, some Jewish scholars began translating Hebrew scriptures into another language: the Greek. This translation became known as the Greek Septuagint. Why did they do it? To help the many Jews who at that time spoke Greek rather than Hebrew to stay close to their "Holy writings" (2 Timothy 3:15).
The Septuagint also helped millions of people who were not Jewish and spoke Greek to know the teachings of the Bible. In what way? Professor Wilbert Howard wrote: " since the middle of the first century, it became the Bible of the Christian church, and his missionaries were from synagogue in synagogue 'testing with the scriptures that Jesus was the Messiah' (Acts 17:3, 4 According to biblical scholar Frederick Bruce, that was one of the reasons why the Jews "lost interest in the septuagint".
As the disciples of Jesus received the books of Christian Greek Scriptures, they were added to the translation of the Hebrew Scriptures, and thus obtained the full bible that we have today.
Latin vulgate
About three hundred years after the Bible was completed, the religious scholar jerónimo completed a Latin translation, which in time was called the latin vulgate. Why was another latin translation needed if there were already several? Jerónimo wanted to correct "bad translations, misprints and unexplained additions or omissions", says the international standard Bible Encyclopedia.
Jerome corrected many of those mistakes. However, later, the church took the worst of decisions: it determined that the latin vulgate was the only authoritative translation of the Bible, and it was for centuries. Instead of helping ordinary people to understand the Bible, the vulgate did the opposite, because over time most people stopped understanding Latin.
New translations
Meanwhile, other translations of the Bible appeared, such as the famous peshitta Syriac, around the fifth century of our age. But it was not until the th century that new attempts were made so that ordinary people could read the scriptures in their mother tongue.
In England, at the end of the th century, John Wyclef began the process to release the bible from dead languages and produce an English translation that ordinary people could understand. Shortly afterwards, the printing methods of Johannes Gutenberg allowed biblical scholars to print and distribute new versions of the Bible in many of the languages spoken in Europe.
When there were many English translations, critics questioned the need for more than one version in the same language. However, in the th century, the English clergyman John Lewis wrote: " languages age and become incomprehensible, so it is necessary to revise old translations to get them to speak in the language used by people, and the current generation can Understand ".
Currently, the biblistas are in a better position than ever to review old translations. They have a greater understanding of the languages in which the Bible was written and have valuable ancient biblical manuscripts found in recent times. Thanks to that, they have been able to determine more precisely the original text.
So it is very useful to have new versions of the Bible, although with some you have to be cautious. *Now, when what motivates reviewers to make a new version of the Bible is a sincere love for God, we can benefit greatly from his work*

Eric and his wife,  Katy serve as pioneers in sparsely populated northern Benin. Some ten years ago, while living in France, they began reading articles about serving where there is a greater need and talking to full-time servants.
This gave them the desire to move abroad, which they did in 2005. The growth they witnessed has been impressive.
Says Eric: “Two years ago, our group in the town of Tanguiéta had 9 publishers;  now we have 30 ! On Sunday, between 50 and 80 attend the meeting.
(Matthew 28:19-20)
What  an  incomparable  joy  it  is  to  observe  such  growth!”
MAY  JEHOVAH  VERY  MUCH  BLESS  YOU  and  YOUR  DEAR  WIFE

How  he  become  Jehovahs Witnesses....
At age 27,  Pascal began his journey. He crossed the border into Ghana,  traveled through Togo and across Benin, and finally reached the town of Birni Nkonni in Niger. Now the really risky part of the journey was about to begin. To travel north, he needed to hop on a truck and cross the Sahara Desert. Then, upon reaching the Mediterranean, he would board a boat to sail to Europe. That was the plan, but two things happened in Niger that stopped him.
First, he ran out of money. Second, he met Noe, a pioneer, who started a Bible study with him. What he learned touched him deeply and changed his view of life. His material goals were replaced by spiritual interests. Pascal was baptized. To show his gratefulness to Jehovah, and he began to pioneer in Niger—in the very town where he had learned the truth

You must pray . . . this way.—Matt. 6:9.
The expression “our Father,” not “my Father,” reminds us that we belong to an “association of brothers” who truly love one another. (1 Pet. 2:17) What a precious privilege that is! Anointed Christians, who have been begotten as God’s sons with heavenly life in view, rightly address Jehovah as “Father” in the fullest sense. (Rom. 8:15-17) Christians whose hope is to live forever on earth can also address Jehovah as “Father.” He is their Life-Giver, and he lovingly provides for the needs of all true worshippers. Those with this earthly hope will in the fullest sense become God’s children after they have reached perfection and have proved their loyalty in the final test. (Rom. 8:21; Rev. 20:7, 8) Parents give their children a fine gift when they teach them to pray and help them to view Jehovah as a caring heavenly Father. Parents can give their children no greater gift than that of helping them to develop a warm, close relationship with Jehovah. w15 6/15 4:4-6

One man was there who had been sick for 38 years.—John 5:5.
Just north of the temple at Jerusalem was a pool known as Bethzatha. Large crowds of sick and infirm people would gather there, hoping that they would be miraculously cured. Moved with pity, Jesus approached a man who had been sick longer than Jesus had been alive on earth. (John 5:6-9) Jesus inquired if he wanted to get well. The response was immediate. The man wanted to be healed but he could not see how, for he had no one to help him into the pool. Jesus then commanded the man to do the impossible—to pick up his mat and walk. Taking Jesus at his word, the man picked up his mat and began to walk. What a heartwarming foregleam of what Jesus will do in the new world! In this miracle, we also see Jesus’ compassion. He sought out the needy. Jesus’ example should motivate us to continue to seek out people in our territory who are depressed about the terrible things happening in this world. w15 6/15 2:8-10
