Queen Esther

Locusts came out of the smoke.—Rev. 9:3.
Toward the end of the first century C.E., the apostle John received a vision of seven angels, each of whom sounded a trumpet blast. When the fifth angel blew his trumpet, John saw “a star” fall from heaven to earth. The “star” had a key in his hand with which he opened the shaft of an abyss. Thick smoke poured out, and from this came a plague of locusts. Rather than ravage vegetation, the symbolic locusts swarm against “those people who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.” (Rev. 9:1-4) John no doubt knew how devastating a locust swarm could be. Had not locusts plagued ancient Egypt in Moses’ day? (Ex. 10:12-15) The figurative locusts that John saw well illustrate anointed Christians proclaiming Jehovah’s powerful judgment messages. They are joined now by millions of companions with an earthly hope. Little wonder that our united preaching undermines the authority Satan exercises through his worldwide empire of false religion! w16.03 3:3

Very encouraging!

I often think of and describe Jesus' Jewish mother, Mary, as a female Danny Devito,
if only to irritate Catholics who show Mary as an Anglo-Saxon white woman.
 

I  THINK,  THATS  REALLY  NOT  BIBLE  LIKE !   All  okay  with  you  my  Brother  JTR ?   haha  never  heard  of  that

Building a pyramid, or an atomic bomb is VERY simple, if you find acceptable a VERY high people casualty rate handling the materials, and have an unlimited supply of unpaid labor, etc.
If the pyramid project were mine, and I could afford to waste a hundred thousand human lives, the project would finish early and under budget.
In Germany, the V-2 Rocket Program in Mittelwerk, near Nordhausen Germany killed MORE slave laborers building the rockets than were killed at the receiving end in England where the rockets landed.
Approximately 25,000 people died MAKING the rockets, and 10,000 or so  people died as targets of the rockets. About six workers died for EVERY rocket produced.

I appreciate so much our dear older ones?❤️  Welcome our Brother Cliff???

When you watch that short video, you will see Jehovah' s hand, the paradise and one of our nice kingdom songs❤️  Enjoy my friends...

Giza Pyramids...

BUT  THINK ABOUT THAT....    and you know that??
Jehovah is not dumb !  All dead humans in the oceans, mountains, jungle, space, all dead of the wars, etc. they will resurrected on our beautiful EARTH, I am sure??  Think to the pictures...  All resurrected ones running to their families !??

Jehovah's  Witnesses -  The  Splendor  of  Jehovah's  Creations !  Wonderful  video

You're nuts Tom! Lol

Perfect  @Librarian...  ibid is the same like ditto !   I use daily  x times ditto for saving texts and posting here   Its very practically?? 

HOW WAS THE PHYSICIAN OF JESUS ?
Genetically he is likely to inherit features of his mother Mary who was JEWS.
What are the physical features of the Edot Hamizraj Jewish ethnic group living in the eastern Mediterranean ?: Brunettes, large noses, wavy or curly hair.
Jesus had a beard.
His beard was trimmed and his hair clean and hairy.
He must have been of a strong constitution, expelled from the temple, without help from anyone, all those who traded. It took extraordinary physical stamina to travel across Palestine and proclaim his message.
To do that he must have been a strong man.
When he had resurrected, he had changed a lot, because not even his closest friends recognized him at first sight.
The body of Jesus was personally prepared by Jehovah.

THINK ABOUT IT
I do not think that Jehovah is going to resurrect all those millions of people that died in the middle of the Oceans from Shipwreck, drownings, or burials at sea IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN! 
And an angel of the LORD said: "Hello there resurrected one ... how long can you tread water?" 

I told my ex-wife that after I died, just put my mortal remains in a double grass clippings sized Hefty Trash bag, throw in a few pints of Fabreeze, and set it out on the sidewalk, and Tuesday, it's the City's problem.
 

They say Prince was a 'spiritual man' who very strongly believed in the church's message
However they do not keep his photo inside so as not to glorify an individual
A couple in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, opened their door in 2003 to find Prince standing on their doorstep with a Bible



The 81-year-old said of the deceased singer: ‘Prince was a publisher with good standing here in our congregation. He was active, he shared in the ministry every month.
‘We didn’t see him very often because he was away all the time, but he did attend the memorial of Christ’s death on March 23 here, he brought some of his band members with him.
‘He was a spiritual man from what I know of him and he talked to individuals and he very strongly believed in the message of the bible that Jehovah Witness’s proclaim.
‘He believed that the true God is Jehovah and he knew for example that when we die, we’re dead, we’re sleeping and the hope is the resurrection, that’s why Jesus died.’
Elder Cook said Prince regularly ‘witnessed’ alone in the community, as well as in groups.
And he admitted that people might have been shocked to see the superstar turn up on their doorstep to talk to them and offer a free bible course, but added: ‘We try to downplay the person, it’s all about the message.
‘We try not to eulogize any individual from a personal standpoint, one person is equal in the eyes of God as another person.
‘So our main goal is to proclaim the message of God’s kingdom as equals and Prince did what he could from what I understand.
‘He did what he could to help people to get into the Bible and appreciate the benefits of family life and the hope of God’s kingdom.’
He added: ‘Credibility and honesty in conveying the message is vital.’
Elder Cook described Prince as ‘modest’ and ‘very, very humble’ when he came to the church.
‘Obviously he was able to witness when he was on his travels as well, he was devoted to it like we all are,’ he said.
‘He found fulfillment as a Witness and in sharing his faith with others.’
The elder says he last saw Prince when the star attended a 50-minute ceremony to commemorate the death of Jesus on March 23 – an event celebrated by Jehovah’s Witnesses all over the world.
The church has no photos of their most famous ‘publisher’ on the walls as you might expect, because ‘that would be glorifying an individual’.
‘Glory goes to Jehovah God, almighty God and his son Jesus Christ,’ said elder Cook.
Elder Cook also said the church does not have a problem with Prince’s reported addiction to prescription drugs because ‘that’s a personal matter’.
‘We are in to homeopathy and things like that, because nothing is 100 per cent.'

Wonderful  and  so  diligent  all  our  Brothers  and  Sisters !
Its  in  TIME  LAPSE...  so  we  can  watching  how  its  going  on  with  a  Kingdom  HALL ---
A  very  interested  video
At  the  end  its  looking  like  our  Kingdom  Hall  at  home

Aquellos días serán días de una tribulación como la cual no ha sucedido una desde el principio de la creación que Dios creó hasta aquel tiempo (Mar. 13:19).
Estamos viviendo en la época que la Biblia llama “los últimos días”, y muy pronto llegará la mayor tribulación de la historia (2 Tim. 3:1). Además, Satanás y sus demonios han sido echados del cielo y están causando muchos sufrimientos en la Tierra (Rev. 12:9, 12). Por otro lado, hemos recibido la comisión de llevar a cabo una tarea histórica y a una escala sin precedentes: predicar en todo el planeta y en más idiomas que nunca. Para que Dios nos siga bendiciendo, necesitamos seguir las instrucciones que nos da por medio de su organización. Hay que ser obedientes desde ahora, pues así será más fácil seguir las instrucciones que recibamos en la “gran tribulación”, la cual destruirá el mundo de Satanás (Mat. 24:21). Después, necesitaremos nuevas instrucciones para vivir en el nuevo mundo. w16.03 4:16, 18

Daniel se resolvió en su corazón a no contaminarse (Dan. 1:8).
Una persona madura defiende sus creencias con firmeza. No se comporta como si fuera amigo de Dios cuando está en el Salón del Reino y como si fuera amigo del mundo cuando está con sus compañeros de clase. Además, se mantiene firme hasta en los momentos más difíciles (Efes. 4:14, 15). Claro, nadie es perfecto. Todos, jóvenes y mayores, cometemos errores de vez en cuando (Ecl. 7:20). Pero si estás pensando en bautizarte, tienes que preguntarte: “¿Estoy dispuesto a obedecer a Jehová, cueste lo que cueste?”. Hay una manera de saberlo: piensa en los últimos meses. ¿Qué hiciste la última vez que pasaste por una prueba? ¿Fuiste capaz de ver la diferencia entre lo bueno y lo malo? También vale la pena que te preguntes qué harías en una situación parecida a la que vivió Daniel. Si alguien te hiciera sentir especial y te dijera que aprovecharas tu talento en este mundo, ¿te sentirías tentado a escucharlo? ¿O tendrías claro lo que Jehová espera de ti? (Efes. 5:17). w16.03 1:7-9

Those days will be days of a tribulation such as has not occurred from the beginning of the creation that God created until that time.—Mark 13:19.
We are living in what the Bible calls “the last days,” and straight ahead is a tribulation like nothing that has occurred before. (2 Tim. 3:1) Furthermore, Satan and his demons have been cast out of heaven and are confined to the vicinity of the earth, resulting in intense woe for earth’s inhabitants. (Rev. 12:9, 12) We have been commissioned to carry out a historic and unprecedented preaching campaign that is reaching peoples and language groups as never before! To keep receiving God’s blessing, we need to pay attention to all the directions provided through the Christian congregation. Having an obedient spirit now will help us to follow directions during the “great tribulation,” which will eliminate Satan’s entire evil system. (Matt. 24:21) Thereafter, we will need new directions for new world living. w16.03 4:16, 18

Daniel resolved in his heart that he would not defile himself.—Dan. 1:8.
A mature young person is stable in his convictions. He does not act like a friend of God at the Kingdom Hall but a friend of the world at school. He remains unmovable even during tests of faith. (Eph. 4:14, 15) Of course, no one is perfect; young people as well as adults make mistakes from time to time. (Eccl. 7:20) Still, as you are considering baptism, it would be wise to analyze to what extent you are resolved in your heart to stick to Jehovah’s standards. Ask yourself, ‘What is my track record of adhering to God’s standards?’ Give thought to the way you have reacted to recent tests of faith. Have you demonstrated that you have the discernment needed to distinguish right from wrong? What if, like Daniel, you are treated as special by someone in Satan’s world? Are you able to “keep perceiving what the will of Jehovah is” even when God’s will conflicts with what you are tempted to do?—Eph. 5:17. w16.03 1:7-9
