Death and Sorrows are Temporary Things
Death and Sorrows are Temporary Things
We can't live in misery when we have a Hope Greater than what we are going through
When dealing with trying times just remember it's our Heavenly Father in prayer
we need to always turn to  All the things we endure are only Temporary things
There is coming a time which Forever Peace he will surely bring.
The sadness of heart or spirit will be a thing of the past,
Nothing that we are going through now was ever meant to last.
Take Happiness in the Hope of what God’s Kingdom will bring,
In that Day tears of sadness will be replaced by the Joyful songs we will sing.
Thank you Father, in time you will be reliving our Hearts from All the Temporary things.

•1 Thessalonians 4:13, 14
◦13 Moreover, brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who are sleeping in death, so that you may not sorrow as the rest do who have no hope. 14 For if we have faith that Jesus died and rose again, so too God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in death through Jesus

Yes, al this discussion is great. Much information, yet done conclusive to make a valid point but one, we still have to wait! No one knows but the Father. That is the only true fact we have. Only the one alive will see any of this occur.,another true fact. The ones alive, 'that generation' saw the promised land, right? Not the ones who had died. So it is true right now. Whoever is alive will see all that will happen as the Bible proposes it to happen. Jesus told us to be awake to see it, stay alert; so whenever it does happen we will not be caught off guard. Not trying to know the day or the hour, that information is for cowards, who want to skate and slide in at the last hour. No, salvation is not for you. I said that, I approve of what I just said, for it is the truth. That is why not even Jesus knows, but only Jehovah knows. He has the final say when all this takes place. No leaks will help any of us. We will either be ready or asleep at the wheel. It will come even if it seems as if it is delayed, but it will not be late.
So we should not be impatient like Sarah and begin trying other things to speed it up or even circumventing it. It will come in its due time as Jehovah sees fit, my friends. So a generation, will be alive when all things take place however long or short that is. That math, our math is irrelevant. Only Jehovah's is. His counts. Agape.

Learn from me, for I am mild-tempered and lowly in heart.—Matt. 11:29.
During his earthly ministry, Jesus spoke and acted in ways that revealed genuine humility. He never called undue attention to himself. Instead, he directed all glory to his Father. (Mark 10:17, 18; John 7:16) He never talked down to his disciples or made them feel inferior. Rather, he dignified them, praising them for the good he saw in them and expressing his confidence in them. (Luke 22:31, 32; John 1:47) Jesus outstandingly showed humility by his obedience. (Phil. 2:5-8) Unlike arrogant individuals who disdain obedience, Jesus humbly submitted to God’s will for him, becoming “obedient to the point of death.” Is it not clear that Jesus, the Son of man, was “lowly in heart”? w15 2/15 1:7

Apprenez de moi, car je suis doux de caractère et humble de cœur (Mat. 11:29).
Durant son ministère terrestre, les paroles et les actions de Jésus ont révélé une humilité authentique. Il n’a jamais excessivement attiré l’attention sur lui. Au contraire, il a dirigé toute gloire vers son Père (Marc 10:17, 18 ; Jean 7:16). Il ne rabaissait pas ses disciples ni ne leur donnait un sentiment d’infériorité. Il leur accordait plutôt de la dignité, les félicitant pour leurs bons côtés et leur exprimant sa confiance en eux (Luc 22:31, 32 ; Jean 1:47). Son obéissance est une preuve éclatante d’humilité (Phil. 2:5-8). À l’inverse des arrogants, qui méprisent l’obéissance, Jésus s’est humblement soumis à la volonté de Dieu le concernant. Il est devenu « obéissant jusqu’à la mort ». C’est indéniable, Jésus, le Fils de l’homme, était « humble de cœur ». w15 15/2 1:7.

See, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!—John 1:29.
Jesus explained that he came, “not to be ministered to, but to minister and to give his life as a ransom in exchange for many.” (Matt. 20:28) The “many” who would benefit from Jesus’ ransom were not to be limited to repentant Jews. Rather, it is God’s will that “all sorts of people should be saved,” since the ransom “takes away the sin of the world!” (1 Tim. 2:4-6) Did those early disciples of Jesus have the needed courage to keep on witnessing about him? Indeed they did. (Acts 5:30-32) Some 27 years after Pentecost 33 C.E., it could be said that “the message of truth of the good news” had reached Jews and Gentiles “in all creation under heaven.”—Col. 1:5, 23. w14 7/15 4:7, 8

With humility consider others superior to you.—Phil. 2:3.
We appreciate it when people are straightforward yet tactful when approaching us. How can we extend the same courtesy to those we meet in our ministry? In many territories, we need to make the purpose of our visit clear to the householder. True, we have valuable information the householder does not have, but suppose we did not really introduce ourselves and merely began our presentation abruptly with a question like this: “If you could solve any problem in the world, what would it be?” We know that the purpose behind such a question is to find out what is on the person’s mind and then direct the conversation to the Bible. However, the householder might wonder: ‘Who is this stranger, and why is he asking me this question? What is this all about?’ So we should try to put the householder at ease. How can we do so? The key is to adjust our presentation to the way that people in our area likely want to be approached. w14 5/15 2:14-16

He reasoned with them from the Scriptures.—Acts 17:2.
In our ministry, we may meet someone who believes that Jesus is equal to God. What scriptures could we use to reason on the matter? We might invite the person to read John 6:38, where Jesus is quoted as saying: “I have come down from heaven to do, not my own will, but the will of him who sent me.” Then, we could ask the person: “If Jesus is God, who sent him down from heaven? Would that One not be greater than Jesus? After all, the sender is superior to the one who is sent.” Along similar lines, we could read Philippians 2:9, which says: “God exalted him [Jesus] to a superior position.” We might then ask: “If Jesus was equal to God before he died and God later exalted him to a higher position, would that not put Jesus above God? Yet, how could anyone become superior to God?” If the person respects God’s Word and is honesthearted, such reasoning may move him to examine the subject further.—Acts 17:11. w14 5/15 1:7-9

You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart.—Matt. 22:37.
Our love for Jehovah should spring from the heart. Jesus made that clear when a Pharisee asked: “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” (Matt. 22:35, 36) What did Jesus mean when he answered that we must love God with our “whole heart”? He meant that we must love Jehovah with our entire figurative heart, affecting our desires, emotions, and feelings. We must also love him with our “whole soul,” or our life and being. Moreover, we must love God with our “whole mind,” or our full intellect. In essence, we ought to love Jehovah fully, without reservation. If we love God with our whole heart, soul, and mind, we will be diligent students of his Word, will wholeheartedly serve his purposes, and will zealously declare the good news of the Kingdom. (Matt. 24:14; Rom. 12:1, 2) True love for Jehovah will draw us ever closer to him.—Jas. 4:8. w14 6/15 1:6-8

You was right, yes ! 

I will come against those living in security.—Ezek. 38:11.
Soon, our lives will seem to be in peril. By the climax of the great tribulation, the governments of this world will have devastated and completely destroyed religious organizations that were larger and more numerous than ours. (Rev. 17:16) Jehovah prophetically describes our vulnerable condition as “the land of unprotected settlements . . . , unprotected by walls, bars, or gates.” (Ezek. 38:10-12, 14-16) With our physical eyes, it will appear that we have no chance of survival. How will you react? We need not waver in fear. Why not? Because Jehovah has foretold that attack on God’s people. He has also foretold the outcome. “‘On that day, the day when Gog invades the land of Israel,’ declares the Sovereign Lord Jehovah, ‘my great rage will flare up. In my zeal, in the fire of my fury, I will speak.’” (Ezek. 38:18-23) God will then destroy all those who want to harm Jehovah’s people. w14 4/15 2:17, 18

BUT  JEHOVAH  WILL  RESCUE  HIS  OWN  FOLK ❤

The spirit itself bears witness with our spirit that we are God’s children.—Rom. 8:16.
If you are an anointed Christian, the heavenly hope is an important subject of your personal prayers. When the Bible speaks of being ‘promised in marriage’ to the heavenly Bridegroom, Jesus Christ, you apply that to yourself, and you look forward to being part of Christ’s “bride.” (2 Cor. 11:2; John 3:27-29; Rev. 21:2, 9-14) When God in his Word expresses his love for his spiritual children, you respond, “That means me.” And when Jehovah’s Word gives instructions to his anointed sons, holy spirit moves you to obey and to say in your heart, “That applies to me.” God’s spirit and your spirit thus join in bearing witness that you have the heavenly hope. On the other hand, if you are part of the “great crowd” of “other sheep,” God has given you the earthly hope. (Rev. 7:9; John 10:16) You want to live forever in Paradise, and you find joy in meditating on what the Bible says about future life on earth. w15 1/15 2:16-18

11 While they were listening to these things, he told another illustration, because he was near Jerusalem and they thought that the Kingdom of God was going to appear instantly.+ 12 So he said: “A man of noble birth traveled to a distant land+ to secure kingly power for himself and to return. 13 Calling ten of his slaves, he gave them ten miʹnas* and told them, ‘Do business with these until I come.’+ 14 But his citizens hated him and sent out a body of ambassadors after him to say, ‘We do not want this man to become king over us.’
15 “When he eventually got back after having secured the kingly power,* he summoned the slaves to whom he had given the money,* in order to ascertain what they had gained by their business activity.+ 16 So the first one came forward and said, ‘Lord, your miʹna gained ten miʹnas.’+17 He said to him, ‘Well done, good slave! Because in a very small matter you have proved yourself faithful, hold authority over ten cities.’+ 18 Now the second came, saying, ‘Your miʹna, Lord, made five miʹnas.’+ 19 He said to this one as well, ‘You too be in charge of five cities.’ 20 But another one came, saying, ‘Lord, here is your miʹna that I kept hidden away in a cloth. 21 You see, I was in fear of you, because you are a harsh man; you take what you did not deposit, and you reap what you did not sow.’+ 22 He said to him, ‘By your own words I judge you, wicked slave. You knew, did you, that I am a harsh man, taking what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow?+ 23 So why did you not put my money* in a bank? Then on my coming, I would have collected it with interest.’
24 “With that he said to those standing by, ‘Take the miʹna from him and give it to the one who has the ten miʹnas.’+ 25 But they said to him, ‘Lord, he has ten miʹnas!’— 26 ‘I say to you, to everyone who has, more will be given, but from the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.+ 27 Moreover, bring these enemies of mine here who did not want me to become king over them and execute them in front of me.’” - Luke 19
 
"to secure" implies a process. A period of time. 
 
36 As he moved along, they were spreading their outer garments on the road.+ 37 As soon as he got near the road down the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and to praise God with a loud voice because of all the powerful works they had seen, 38 saying: “Blessed is the one coming as the King in Jehovah’s* name! Peace in heaven, and glory in the heights above!”+ 39 However, some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him: “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.”+40 But in reply he said: “I tell you, if these remained silent, the stones would cry out.” - Luke 19
 
"AS the King" is the phrase used... not "as king"
 
------------------------------------------------------------------
 
An often used phrase we heard 30 years ago was "King-designate" 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This inspired psalm gave the Hebrews reason to regard the promised Messiah as the one in whom the office of priest and king would be combined. The apostle Paul, in the letter to the Hebrews, removed any doubt about the identity of the one foretold, speaking of “Jesus, who has become a high priest according to the manner of Melchizedek forever.”
 
Ps 110
Jehovah declared to my Lord:   
“Sit at my right hand+                    (10 days after Jesus' ascension on Pentecost 33 C.E)
Until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet.”+ 
 2 Jehovah will extend the scepter of your power out of Zion, saying:               (1914)
“Go subduing in the midst of your enemies.”+
 3 Your people will offer themselves willingly on the day of your military force.*    (1914 ...)
In splendid holiness, from the womb of the dawn,                               (Birth of a nation....)
You have your company of young men just like dewdrops.         
 4 Jehovah has sworn an oath, and he will not change his mind:*                   (29 B.C.E.)
“You are a priest forever+                                             
In the manner of Mel·chizʹe·dek!”+
 5 Jehovah will be at your right hand;+
He will crush kings on the day of his anger.+                                          (ARMAGEDDON)
 6 He will execute judgment against* the nations;+    
He will fill the land with dead bodies.+        
He will crush the leader* of a vast land.*                                           (SATAN in the abyss)
 7 He* will drink from the stream along the road.                                           (New World)
Therefore, he will hold his head high.                                            
 
So to @JW Insider Your proposed scenario would make verses 1,2,3, 4 all happen simultaneously?  

Yes,  we  will  do,  bec. love  and  peace  always  in  Jehovah's  sense. Then  all  humans feeling  alot  better !  In  paradise,  we've  forgotten  the  word :  c o n f l i c t  wow  ;o)

Always be kind and respectful to one another

Let your words always be gracious, seasoned with salt.—Col. 4:6.
In conversations with fellow believers, we use words that build up rather than tear down. (Eph. 4:29) When we talk to others about God’s Kingdom, we season our words “with salt.” We try to discern the needs and interests of householders and then choose our words accordingly. We remember that gracious words may open doors—and hearts. In addition, when explaining our beliefs, we try to let the Bible speak for us. Hence, we cite it as an authority and read from it whenever possible. We recognize that the Bible’s message is far more powerful than anything we could possibly say on our own authority. (Heb. 4:12) Discernment enables us to control our spirit, making us “slow to anger.” (Jas. 1:19) When others offend us, we try to discern what is behind their words or actions. Such insight can melt anger and help us to “overlook an offense.”—Prov. 19:11. w15 2/15 2:15, 16

A time and place, this was not it. Nor the subject. Some things are just off limits.

Not you too. It was a great play on words , humorous but not the time for it. Tis the season not to be jolly but to be serious, our minds should be appreciative of what Jesus did on that night. Nothing humorous about it, right? Sweat as thick as blood!!! Would you laugh!!!
