Bible Speaks

DO YOU WANT TO LIVE FOREVER? ??????? "As for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad, you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will certainly die.” Genesis 2:17. ManÂ’s habitation on earth is also permanent. When God gave man the law regarding the tree of the knowledge of good and bad, he implied that man could live on earth forever. (Ge 2:17) We are assured by JehovahÂ’s own words that “all the days the earth continues, seed sowing and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night, will never cease” (Ge 8:22) and that he will never destroy all flesh again by a flood. (Ge 9:12-16) Jehovah says that he did not make the earth for nothing but, rather, that he has given it to men as a home and that death will eventually be done away with. GodÂ’s purpose, therefore, is for the earth to be the habitation of man in perfection and happiness with eternal life.—Ps 37:11; 115:16; Isa 45:18; Re 21:3, 4. - Bible Speaks - Cherry Blossom, Saga, Japan by Katsushi Tanaka via TOKYOCAMERACLUB Tap on Video Link mp4 ______ ???

Armenia lost the case before the representatives of Jehovah's Witnesses at the ECHR * EREVÁN, March 7, 2018, 00:42 - REGNUM Armenia lost the next case before the European Court of Human Rights. This time, the case concerns four representatives of the religious organization "Jehovah's Witnesses" (an organization whose activities are prohibited in the Russian Federation). The ECHR found that Armenia violated the ninth article of the European Convention (violation of freedom of thought and religion) in its respect. According to the verdict of the court, the Armenian authorities are obliged to pay the claimants, in three months, 48,000 euros (12,000 each). Russian Su-57 attacked American militants and instructors Bold: Ukraine is hitting Russia unexpectedly The United States experienced a new weapon of mass destruction in the Black Sea MEMBER NEWS Four plaintiffs in 2011 were prosecuted for refusing to submit to compulsory military or alternative service. On July 17, 2017, the judicial board of the Supreme Court of Russia decided to reject the organization's appeal against the resolution on its liquidation. On April 20, the Supreme Court of Russia recognized the Jehovah's Witnesses as an extremist organization and liquidated it. Their activities are prohibited in the territory of the country. Syria in a stream of lies: about fighters in the United States, killed by blows Su-57 Arab media: Shoigu avenged the "PWC Wagner" MEMBER NEWS Recognize that the organization "Jehovah's Witnesses" forbade and confiscated all their properties for the extremism that previously required the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation. The lawsuit agency noted that "Jehovah's Witnesses" (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation) are promoting the idea of their exclusivity and superiority over other religions, which represents a threat to public order. In addition, the organization repeatedly ran into violations of the law and did not take any action to eliminate them. - https://regnum.ru/news/2387940.html

“Everything He Has Made Pretty” (Ecclesiastes 3:11) "Everything he has made pretty in its time." ??????? Intriguing Patterns in Plants HAVE you ever noticed that many plants grow in spiral formations? A pineapple, for example, may have 8 spirals of scales going around one way and 5 or 13 going in the opposite direction. If you look at the seeds in a sunflower, you may be able to see 55 and 89 spirals crossing over each other or perhaps even more. You may even find spirals on a cauliflower. Once you start noticing spirals, visits to your fruit and vegetable store may take on new interest. Why do plants grow in this way? Does the number of spirals have any significance? How Do Plants Grow? Most plants form new organs such as stems, leaves, and flowers from a tiny central growing point called a meristem. Each new structure, called a primordium, develops and grows out from the center in a new direction, forming an angle with the previous growth.* (See figure 2.) Most plants arrange new growths at a unique angle that produces spirals. What angle is it? Consider this challenge: Imagine trying to engineer a plant so that new growths are compactly arranged around the growing point with no wasted space. Suppose you chose to make each new primordium grow out at an angle of two fifths of a revolution from the previous growth. You would have the problem of every fifth primordium growing from the same spot and in the same direction. They would form rows with wasted space between the rows. The truth is, any simple fraction of a revolution results in rows rather than optimal packing. Only what has been termed the “golden angle” of approximately 137.5 degrees results in an ideally compact arrangement of growths. What makes this angle so special? The golden angle is ideal because it cannot be expressed as a simple fraction of a revolution. The fraction 5/8 is close to it, 8/13 is closer, and 13/21 is closer still, but no fraction exactly expresses the golden proportion of a revolution. Thus, when a new growth on the meristem develops at this fixed angle with respect to the preceding growth, no two growths will ever develop in exactly the same direction. Consequently, instead of forming radial arms, the primordia form spirals. Remarkably, a computer simulation of primordia growing from a central point produces recognizable spirals only if the angle between new growths is correct to a high degree of accuracy. Straying from the golden angle by even one tenth of a degree causes the effect to be lost. How Many Petals on a Flower? Interestingly, the number of spirals that result from growth based on the golden angle is usually a number from a series called the Fibonacci sequence. This series was first described by the 13th-century Italian mathematician known as Leonardo Fibonacci. In this progression, each number after 1 is equal to the sum of the previous two numbers—1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, and so on. The flowers of many plants that exhibit a spiral growth pattern often have a Fibonacci number of petals. According to some observers, there is a tendency for buttercups to have 5 petals, bloodroots 8, fireweeds 13, asters 21, common field daisies 34, and Michaelmas daisies 55 or 89. (See figure 6.) Fruit and vegetables often have features that correspond to Fibonacci numbers. Bananas, for example, have a five-sided cross section. “Everything He Has Made Pretty” Artists have long recognized the golden proportion as the most pleasing to our eyes. What makes plants form new growths precisely at this intriguing angle? Many people conclude that this is but another example of intelligent design in living things. In contemplating the design of living things and our capacity to find pleasure in them, many discern the hand of a Creator who wants us to enjoy life. Of our Creator the Bible says: “Everything he has made pretty in its time.” (Ecclesiastes 3:11) "Everything he has made pretty in its time." ??????? https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/102006328?q=fibonacci&p=par

CAMELS ? ????? Camels What Do You Know? < Alone in the Desert? Although folklore has it that the camel stores water in its hump, this is not the case. It is generally thought that the camel can get along without water for a prolonged period because of its ability to retain much of the water that it drinks.  A contributory factor is the design of the nose, which enables the animal to extract water vapor when exhaling. The camel can tolerate a loss of water of 25 percent of its weight, in contrast to 12 percent for humans. It does not lose moisture by perspiration as rapidly as do other creatures, because its body temperature can vary 6° C. (11° F.) without marked effects.  Its blood is unique in that loss of fluid is minimal even when water is in short supply for several days. It can also replace lost body weight by drinking as much as 135 L (35 gal) in ten minutes.  Some camels are known to have traveled at amazing speeds. At 1 Samuel 30:17, an allusion to swift camels may be noted. It was only the 400 young men that rode camels who escaped when David struck down the Amalekite raiders.  Early morning a few hundred miles into the first west-east crossing of the Taklamakan Desert in Xinjiang, Western China. This is one of the Bactrian ? that helped carry supplies on the 700+ mile, 42 day trek. Photo: @mikelibecki

"He that is showing insight in a matter will find good."—Prov. 16:20 By nature, some sheep may not be warm and companionable. Still, the elders try to show insight and “find good” in them. True, being imperfect, an elder may struggle to have a positive view of each one. Yet, as he tries his best to be gentle toward all, should he not be commended for his effort to be a good shepherd under Christ? We all have reason to “be submissive” to the elders. As Paul wrote, ‘they are keeping watch over our souls.Â’ (Heb. 13:17) That expression reminds us of the literal shepherd who forgoes sleep in order to protect his flock. Likewise, the elders today may sacrifice some sleep while tending to the needs of those who have poor health or emotional or spiritual problems. For example, brothers on Hospital Liaison Committees have been awakened from sleep to respond to a medical crisis. Yet, when we face such a situation, how appreciative we are of their service!  - Bible Speaks -

Nice story! It's ok to be a little cracked!! ??? An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which she carried across her neck. One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water. At the end of the long walk from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full. For a full two years this went on daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it could only do half of what it had been made to do. After 2 years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to the woman one day by the stream. “I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house.” The old woman smiled, “Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot’s side?” “That’s because I have always known about your flaw, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you water them.” “For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table. Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house.” Each of us has our own unique flaw. But it’s the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding. You’ve just got to take each person for what they are and look for the good in them. So, to all of my crackpot friends, have a great day and remember to smell the flowers on your side of the road. Picture: Penny Parker

Beautiful Jaguar Created by Jehovah God! Amazing Creatures! I’d love to pet one, one day to know IÂ’m safe! His Promise! ????? This year's focus is on big cats so I thought I'd share a clip of this big male jaguar taking a drink at sunset. During the dry season in Brazil's Pantanal, the jaguars stick close to the rivers. Not only do these rivers provide drinking water, they also concentrate the jaguar's primary prey- capybara and caiman. As a result, the best way to observe them is by boat. This gives an added benefit for filming as you can use the boat as a giant camera slider to create movement in the shot. Using a gyrostabilised rig and an electric motor, my boatman and I were able to smoothly (and almost silently) glide past giving the shot this rotation. Shot for a @natgeowild jaguar show. ???????

Beautiful Iguanas ? Created by Jehovah God! Amazing! This is a marine iguana, but I think they should be called ‘Ocean GodzillaÂ’ instead. These are our planetÂ’s only lizards that feed in the ocean and despite their fierce, dragon like appearance they are very sensitive to climate change. They rely exclusively on cold water seaweeds for nourishment which die off quickly as the water becomes too warm. Photograph by @thomaspeschak Thank you Jehovah for these Iguanas ?

“THE WAY A HEN GATHERS HER CHICKS” ?????? Shortly before his death, Jesus paused to look at the Jewish capital city. “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the killer of the prophets and stoner of those sent to her,” he sighed. “How often I wanted to gather your children together the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings! But you did not want it.”—Matthew 23:37. ?????? One of the strongest instincts among birds is their desire to protect their young. Birds that nest on the ground, such as domestic hens, must keep a sharp lookout for danger. If the hen spots a hawk circling overhead, she emits a loud warning call, at which the chicks quickly run to safety beneath her wings. There the fledgling chicks can also find shelter from the hot sun and heavy rain. Jesus likewise wanted to offer the inhabitants of Jerusalem spiritual shelter and protection. Today, Jesus invites us to come to him for refreshment and protection from the burdens and anxieties of our daily life.—Matthew 11:28, 29. ?????? Truly, there is much that we can learn from these winged creatures. As you observe their behavior, try to recall the Scriptural metaphors that speak of them. May the swallow help you to appreciate JehovahÂ’s house of worship. May you look to God for hope that can enable you to soar like an eagle. May you come to Jesus for spiritual truth that safeguards you the way a mother hen does her chicks. And may the stork remind you to stay alert to the significance of world events that mark our time. ??????? #Repost @naturee ??? My mom's the best. Via NTD Australia
