WHAT  IS  THE  WAR  OF  ARMAGEDDON ?

Who are the participants? What will be the outcome of this war? When will this war occur? Why is this information important for each of us?
Simply stated, THE WAR OF ARMAGEDDON is the name given to "the war of the great day of God the Almighty" in which "the kings of the entire inhabited earth" gather to wage war against Jehovah God. Revelation 16:14, 16; 19:11-21.
Jesus Christ, and his 144,000 co-rulers, will receive the authority to wield "an iron rod" of destruction against all enemies of God's Kingdom. Revelation 2: 26,27. See also Ezekiel 38:15, Revelation 16:16.
The war of Armageddon will be the finale of the great tribulation. At that time, Jesus will take on an added task. In addition to being the Judge of "all the nations" he will also become the EXECUTIONER of the nations.....specifically, of all the people whom he had earlier judged as "goats." SEE Matthew 25:32,33. Yes, from "kings" to "slaves"....will be destroyed. SEE Revelation 19:15,18; Matthew 25:46.
Here is a sobering fact! The majority of people alive on earth today are steadfastly clinging to false religion. Many of these believe Jesus is coming to take them to Heaven....when the fact is clear....he is coming to be their executioner. They would know all that if they would just stop and read their Bibles.
Loyal servants of Jehovah God, and his Son, Christ Jesus will live through this time, and become part of the "Great Crowd" and will be in line to receive the blessing of everlasting life on a paradise earth. SEE Revelation 7:9,14.
We all have a most important decision to make.....Will we listen to God, or will we listen to mortal man, who cannot even save himself ?   We all have free a will....   let us use it wisely.

Thanks  for  your  always  so  good  understanding  answers / explanations !  A  special  gift,  having  such  of  Sisters  here  in  our  Forum !  DANKE,  dear  @Melinda Mills ...  you're  a  good  help  for  me   Thank  you  so  much !   Greetings  from  Germany....

Jehovah spoke to Joseph in a dream  through an angel .
(Matthew 2:13-15) 13 After they had departed, look! Jehovah’s angel appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying: “Get up, take the young child and his mother and flee to Egypt, and stay there until I give you word, for Herod is about to search for the young child to kill him.” 14 So Joseph got up and by night took along the young child and the child’s mother and went into Egypt. 15 He stayed there until the death of Herod. This fulfilled what was spoken by Jehovah through his prophet, saying: “Out of Egypt I called my son.”
In the case of Mary she was not yet married, though promised in marriage to Joseph. When Jehovah spoke to Mary it was also through an angel (Gabriel) not directly. 
 (Luke 1:26-38) 26 In her sixth month, the angel Gaʹbri·el was sent from God to a city of Galʹi·lee named Nazʹa·reth, 27 to a virgin promised in marriage to a man named Joseph of David’s house, and the name of the virgin was Mary. 28 And coming in, the angel said to her: “Greetings, you highly favored one, Jehovah is with you.” 29 But she was deeply disturbed at his words and tried to understand what kind of greeting this might be. 30 So the angel said to her: “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31 And look! you will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and you are to name him Jesus. 32 This one will be great and will be called Son of the Most High, and Jehovah God will give him the throne of David his father, 33 and he will rule as King over the house of Jacob forever, and there will be no end to his Kingdom.” 34 But Mary said to the angel: “How is this to be, since I am not having sexual relations with a man?” 35 In answer the angel said to her: “Holy spirit will come upon you, and power of the Most High will overshadow you. And for that reason the one who is born will be called holy, God’s Son. 36 And look! Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son, in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her, the so-called barren woman; 37 for no declaration will be impossible for God.” 38 Then Mary said: “Look! Jehovah’s slave girl! May it happen to me according to your declaration.” At that the angel departed from her.
Therefore I think you can leave out the word "directly". 
Point taken about Jehovah speaking to the head of the house, Joseph; but also through an angel.

(Acts 28:1-3) . . .After we made it to safety, we learned that the island was called Malta. 2 And the foreign-speaking people showed us extraordinary kindness. They kindled a fire and received all of us kindly because of the rain that was falling and because of the cold. 3 But when Paul collected a bundle of sticks and laid it on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat and fastened itself on his hand. . .
Was a viper - a venomous snake, which lived among the sticks (wood).  Sea snakes are even more venomous but they live in the sea.

? PATIENCE ? 1
" We can rejoice too, when we run into problems and trials for we know that they are good for us—they help us learn to be patient "
Romans 5.3
Even though I have quoted it before, I appreciate the following ditty because there is so much truth in it,...
" It's the little things that bother us and put us on the rack, you can sit upon a mountain but you can't sit on a tack "
It's amazing how uptight and impatient I/we can become with the little annoyances of everyday life.
Sometimes it seems these upset us more than big issues.
Remember, though, that the things that bug us don't cause our impatience, they just trigger it !
And that's what Jehovah God wants to get us to face and fix.
He wants to fix us from the inside out so that we will learn both patience and every other grace.
Keep in mind, though, if you want to experience trials and tribulation, pray for patience !
This is because we only learn patience by experiencing the things that upset and bug us.
Growth is usually slow.
So, while learning to be patient with others,  don't forget, to learn to be patient with yourself

I remember an incident when I was working in the Congo, in 1974.. it was called Zaire then ... and half way between Kinshasa and Kananga  a lion started stalking me and Jim, the Brother I was traveling with, walking on a one lane dirt road next to a rapidly flowing river in the jungle.
I saw it first and yelled "Jim!, lion behind you !" ...   and I ran and made a long  dive into the water. 
They say that you cannot outrun a lion, and that is true ... as I was being swept downstream I looked back and saw the lion had caught Jim.   To this day I believe Jim would have also made it to the river,  if he had not been wearing his lucky ham.

La sabiduría te hará bien: si la adquieres, verás sus frutos (Prov. 24:14, La Biblia Latinoamérica, 2001).
Obviamente, ustedes, padres, quieren que sus hijos se mantengan cerca de Dios, y Dios quiere que los guíen y eduquen en sus caminos (Efes. 6:4). Aprovechen la autoridad que les ha dado para instruirlos con regularidad. Pongamos una ilustración: un buen padre quiere que sus hijos vayan a la escuela porque la educación es importante, los prepara para la vida y les enseña a aprender. De igual modo, los padres cristianos desean que sus hijos conozcan los caminos de Jehová, ya que eso puede darles la sabiduría que necesitan para hacerle frente a la vida. Por eso insisten en que no se pierdan las reuniones, las asambleas ni la Noche de Adoración en Familia. Tal como Jesús ayudó a sus discípulos, ustedes deben ayudar a sus hijos a tener éxito en la predicación. ¿Cómo? Para empezar, acostúmbrelos a salir a predicar. Además, hagan crecer en ellos el deseo de hablar de la Biblia con la gente. w15 15/11 2:6
