Memorial Bible reading: (Daytime events: Nisan 10) Mark 11:12-19 Mark 11:12-19 12 The next day when they were leaving Bethʹa·ny, he felt hungry. 13 From a distance he caught sight of a fig tree that had leaves, and he went to see whether he could find something on it. But on coming to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. 14 So he said to it: “Let no one eat fruit from you ever again.”And his disciples were listening. 15 They now came to Jerusalem. There he entered the temple and started to throw out those selling and buying in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves, 16 and he would not let anyone carry a utensil through the temple. 17 He was teaching and saying to them: “Is it not written, ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? But you have made it a cave of robbers.”18 And the chief priests and the scribes heard it, and they began to seek how to kill him; for they were in fear of him, because all the crowd was astounded at his teaching.19 When it became late in the day, they went out of the city." Memorial Bible reading: (Daytime events: Nisan 10) Luke 19:45-48;Matthew 21:18, 19; 21:12, 13

"Love Jehovah, all you who are loyal to him! Jehovah protects the faithful." (Psalm 31:23) NWT

@John Lindsay Barltrop Yes! Perhaps we also will "see" with our own eyes? Jehovah will become what He will become for all to "see" who He is forever! We will be onlookers to the vindication of His glorious Name, Jehovah! Just "stand still" it says. Thank you so much for your encouraging thoughts! Jehovah Bless! ??? See the salvation of Jehovah: Salvation will be the reward for all those who hold to their position of Christian integrity and who trust in Jehovah for deliverance. Until the final hour—and to the extent they can—they will announce the arrival of the day of Jehovah’s judgment. All creation must know that Jehovah is the true God and that he has faithful servants on earth. Never again will there be the need for a prolonged controversy over the rightfulness of Jehovah’s sovereignty.—Ezekiel 33:33; 36:23.

Yes Jehovah wants His People to enjoy the Memorial. Let them praise the Name of Jehovah forever and the respect for His King Christ Jesus! ? These nations are just a drop in The bucket to Him! ?

April's Broadcasting was so faith strengthening! Don't miss it! "Faith in Jehovah makes things happen."

@David Normand Yes, there is only one Resister that started it all! He and his legions will soon be gone. He has slandered Jehovah and His People long enough! Thank you for the comment. Are we not blessed? It is good to see many translations and that's why wol.jw.org have many to review. Agape, Bible Speaks ???

"How Long . . . Must I Cry for Help?” Habakkuk, felt as many today do, and he asked God: “How long, O Jehovah, must I cry for help, and you do not hear? How long shall I call to you for aid from violence, and you do not save? Why is it that you make me see what is hurtful, and you keep looking upon mere trouble? And why are despoiling and violence in front of me, and why does quarreling occur, and why is strife carried?” (Habakkuk 1:2, 3) Habakkuk, a Hebrew prophet, witnessed shocking acts of mindless violence and aggression in his day. Today, such acts are everyday news that appalls compassionate people. The greatest manifestation of God’s love, however, was the giving of his Son, Jesus, to ransom mankind. John 3:16 states: “God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life.” Thus Jehovah has already arranged to bring a permanent end to death and every form of suffering.—1 John 3: God can and will bring about a global solution. Assurance is found in the last book of the Bible: “[God] will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” (Revelation 21:4) Consider the scope of that promise. It summarizes God’s purpose to bring an end to all suffering. He will do that by ridding the earth of war, hunger, sickness, and injustice, along with all the wicked people. No human can accomplish that. There are two facts that can give us hope and encouragement. The first is this: Jehovah will more than make up for any suffering we may have experienced. Moreover, God assures us: “The former things will not be called to mind, neither will they come up into the heart.” (Isaiah 65:17) God will undo, completely and permanently, the misery and suffering resulting from the temporary permission of evil. The second fact is this: God has set an unalterable time to end suffering. Recall that the prophet Habakkuk asked how long Jehovah would permit violence and strife. Jehovah replied: “The vision is yet for the appointed time . . . It will not be late.” (Habakkuk 2:3) Scriptures That Point to a Bright Future NO MORE WARS: “Come, you people, behold the activities of Jehovah, how he has set astonishing events on the earth. He is making wars to cease to the extremity of the earth.”—Psalm 46:8, 9. LOVED ONES RETURN: “There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.”—Acts 24:15. FOOD FOR ALL: “There will come to be plenty of grain on the earth; on the top of the mountains there will be an overflow.”—Psalm 72:16. SICKNESS WILL BE NO MORE: “No resident will say: ‘I am sick.’”—Isaiah 33:24. WICKED PEOPLE WILL BE GONE: “As regards the wicked, they will be cut off from the very earth; and as for the treacherous, they will be torn away from it.”—Proverbs 2:22. JUSTICE WILL PREVAIL: “Look! A king [Christ Jesus] will reign for righteousness itself; and as respects princes, they will rule as princes for justice itself.”—Isaiah 32:1. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2009882 IMG_0328.mov 2 pictures tap on one picture and one moving link ?

Jehovah is Merciful and Compassionate

@TrueTomHarley Perhaps that's how The Russian Orthodox Church will also feel the "sting!" Babylon the Great will fall and because when the right time comes, Jehovah will put it in the thoughts to turn on her. We are living in prophetic days. Let God's Kingdom come! Yes, let it come! @Anna Ok I "like" that one! ???

8 "Jehovah is merciful and compassionate, Slow to anger and abundant in loyal love." (Psalms 103:8) New World Translatiom * Reference Bible Ps 103:8 * 8 Jehovah* is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger and abundant in loving-kindness." * King James Version Ps 103:8 * 8 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy." * American Standard Version Ps 103:8 * 8 Jehovah is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness." * Byington Ps 103:8 * 8 Tenderhearted and kindly is Jehovah, patient and very friendly."

What will servants of God be expected to do once they come under attack? Again, the reaction of God’s typical nation in the days of Jehoshaphat sets the pattern. Note that its citizens were commanded to do three things: (1) take their position, (2) stand still, and(3) see the salvation of Jehovah. How will God’s people today act in harmony with these words?—2 Chronicles 20:17. What does it mean for Jehovah’s people to take their position? Take their position: Without wavering, God’s people will continue to hold to their position of active support for God’s Kingdom. They will continue to maintain their position of Christian neutrality. They will be “steadfast, unmovable” in their loyal service to Jehovah and will continue publicly to praise Jehovah for his loving-kindness. (1 Corinthians 15:58; Psalm 118:28, 29) No present or future pressure can shake them from this divinely approved position. In what respects will Jehovah’s servants stand still? Stand still: Jehovah’s servants will not try to save themselves but will place their implicit trust in Jehovah. Only he is capable of rescuing his servants out of world chaos, and he has promised to do so. (Isaiah 43:10, 11; 54:15;Lamentations 3:26) Trusting in Jehovah will include trusting the modern visible channel that he has clearly been using for decades to serve his purposes. As never before, true Christians will then need to place their confidence in fellow worshipers authorized by Jehovah and his reigning King to take the lead. These faithful men will direct God’s people. Ignoring their direction could end in disaster.—Matthew 24:45-47; Hebrews 13:7, 17. Why will God’s faithful servants see the salvation of Jehovah? See the salvation of Jehovah: Salvation will be the reward for all those who hold to their position of Christian integrity and who trust in Jehovah for deliverance. Until the final hour—and to the extent they can—they will announce the arrival of the day of Jehovah’s judgment. All creation must know that Jehovah is the true God and that he has faithful servants on earth. Never again will there be the need for a prolonged controversy over the rightfulness of Jehovah’s sovereignty.—Ezekiel 33:33; 36:23. (a) How does the victory song in Exodus chapter 15 reflect the feelings of those who will survive Gog’s attack? (b) What is it appropriate for God’s people to do now? With renewed energy, God’s people will enter into the new world, eager to sing a victory song, even as did the Israelites of old after their deliverance through the Red Sea. Forever grateful to Jehovah for his protection, individually and collectively, they will echo words of long ago: “Let me sing to Jehovah, for he has become highly exalted. . . . Jehovah is a manly person of war. Jehovah is his name. . . . Your right hand, O Jehovah, can shatter an enemy. And in the abundance of your superiority you can throw down those who rise up against you; you send out your burning anger, it eats them up like stubble. . . . You in your loving-kindness have led the people whom you have recovered; you in your strength will certainly conduct them to your holy abiding place. . . . You will bring them and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance, an established place that you have made ready for you to inhabit, O Jehovah, a sanctuary, O Jehovah, that your hands have established. Jehovah will rule as king to time indefinite, even forever.”—Exodus 15:1-19. Now with the prospect of everlasting life brighter than ever before, what an opportune time for God’s servants to demonstrate their devotion to Jehovah and to renew their determination to serve him as their everlasting King!—1 Chronicles 29:11-13. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2003404?q=stand+still+and+see&p=par

@bruceq Thought it just opened? Did I lose the transcript?

“Do Not Lean Upon Your Own Understanding” “Trust in Jehovah with all your heart and do not lean upon your own understanding.”—PROV. 3:5. How do you make weighty decisions in life? Do you perhaps decide first and then pray to Jehovah to bless the decision you have made? Consider what Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, did when the combined forces of the Moabites and the Ammonites came up against him to wage war. Judah was in no position to take a stand against them. What action was Jehoshaphat to take? 11 “Jehoshaphat became afraid and set his face to search for Jehovah,” says the Bible. He declared a fast for all Judah and collected the people together “to inquire of Jehovah.” Then he stood up in the congregation of Judah and of Jerusalem and prayed. In part, he pleaded: “O our God, will you not execute judgment upon them? For in us there is no power before this large crowd that is coming against us; and we ourselves do not know what we ought to do, but our eyes are toward you.” The true God heard Jehoshaphat’s prayer and provided a miraculous deliverance. (2 Chron. 20:3-12, 17) When making decisions, especially those that may affect our spirituality, should we not rely on Jehovah rather than lean upon our own understanding? (Je·hoshʹa·phat) [Jehovah Is Judge]. Jehoshaphat proved himself to be a king who relied on Jehovah. When Judah was threatened by the combined forces of Ammon, Moab, and the mountainous region of Seir, he humbly acknowledged the nation’s weakness in the face of this danger and prayed to Jehovah for help. Thereafter Jehovah fought for Judah by striking confusion into the ranks of the enemy so that they slaughtered one another. Consequently the surrounding nations became fearful, and Judah continued to enjoy peace.—2Ch 20:1-30. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2011841#h=14:136-15:737

You truly keep us blessed and Unified to bear your Name! ???

@John Lindsay Barltrop Keep strong! We can help so many! May Jehovah bless you! He has blessed me greatly and building more faith everyday. There is no God like Jehovah! Agape ???

@bruceq Thank you I'm watching! May Jehovah be with you! ???

@John Lindsay Barltrop How true! It reminds me of one of my favorite songs, song 149 "A Victory Song" and won't that have a greater significance after Armageddon? I am ready for fireworks ? I've been in Truth baptized 48 years. Many prophets and men and women of faith look forward to the promises being fulfilled. Faith is essential! Strong faith will keep us alive and we will help more to "see" Jehovah now before it is too late. Rejoice in Jehovah! Armies of heaven are waiting His command!

@TrueTomHarley Pray about it, I will. We have the most miraculous power in the Universe, Jehovah can perform miracles if a donkey can speak and 1 angel can destroy 185,000 in one night! We are in for fireworks ? Remember at the edge of the Red Sea? It seemed hopeless? Jehovah is a mighty warrior and we have never witnessed His power! We will all be amazed and proud of who we are! Pick up the weak and carry them, they maybe complainers but Jehovah knows their heart. Life is a bowl ? of cherries ? with the pits! Let's pray for strength for the Brotherhood and proclaim Jehovah's Name loud and clear. No fear He is near! ?????⚔️???
