Bible Speaks

Breaking News! ??? - 2018
In the new examination of the scriptures daily-2018, the reading hours of the Bible are included.
The Bible reading time for 2018 takes us from Matthew with facts, this will allow us a more detailed study than before, in 2013 we covered Matthew to apocalypse.
Most weeks are only 1 OR 2 chapters
A whole year will be dedicated to learning about Jesus. How he imitated the Lord, his personality, his teachings, his interactions with human beings, his mercy, his humility, his earthly family, the support of the Lord for him during his ministry and in the last days or hours before his death... In fact, as John was inspired to write: John 21:25. In fact, there are many other things that
Jesus did, that if they were ever written in any detail, I guess the world itself could not contain written scrolls.
Looking into the future, that means we will have more time for the rest of the Greek Scriptures.
So many things are contained in the letters of Paul and the others. And this year we can take a deeper study of the gospels and the facts.
And with our new change in the ministry, this is gonna be big.
It makes me think that the ruling body expects something big that happens in maybe the next 2 TO 3 years. (which is just my personal opinion) I think 2018 will be an interesting year... with all the changes, something in me detects big changes ahead in the near future

USA Sister Reading in Book Study - Nice! ?????

2 days ago Report   No one has any right to walk into a place of worship and destroy property. I don't care what religion it is or what church. Or home or other property as well. I also agree that people should not be allowed to enter a property based on their religious beliefs. 
But let me pass on a true story that I am aware of. Also understand that I am NOT a part of this religious group. 
Several years ago this religious group held a large meeting at Yankee Stadium. The place was packed with Jehovah Witnesses. I happened to know a few of the police officers who were working there at the time. You know what they told me ? "It was the First Time that Yankee Stadium was completely full and there was NOT any need for even ONE NYC Police Officer to be there". TRUE STORY. No incidents occurred the entire time that group was there. Hasn't been the same since.

So after lots of thought, lots of prayers,  and encouragement from a dear friend,  I’ve decided to take the plunge and learn a language I’ve always wanted to learn: Japanese! 
I know it won’t be easy but I’m really looking forward to all the new experiences that this will open up for me to do more in Jehovah’s service and to hopefully be a help to my brothers and sisters. 
Can’t wait to meet you all in the Japanese field!

There is that old proverb ... beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clear to the bone.
Usually because of the fact that if a Sister gives importance to such things, her thinking becomes more and more distorted, until it becomes a self-fufilling "prophesy".
Ever notice that over time, people and their dogs begin to look alike?
Same thing.
It is an empathetic response feedback loop.
You ARE what you THINK!
 

Beauty comes from whatever is in the heart!!without that loving spirit beauty turns to UGLY!!!!

"Babylon the Great" is falling, get away safe! 
?⚖️?⚖️?
During the Lord’s day, Babylon the Great has seen the waters, the people who support her, dry up dramatically. (Rev. 16:12; 17:15) 
?⚖️?⚖️?
For example, when the image of the beast first appeared, the churches of Christendom—an influential part of Babylon the Great—dominated the Western world. 
?⚖️?⚖️?
Today, the churches and their ministers have lost the respect and support of the masses. In fact, many people believe that religion contributes to or causes conflict. 
?⚖️?⚖️?
An increasingly vocal and militant group of Western intellectuals is calling for the end of religion’s influence on society.
?⚖️?⚖️?
False religion, however, will not just fade away. The harlot will remain a potent force, attempting to bend kings to her will until God plants an idea in the hearts of those in power. (Read Revelation 17:16, 17.) 
?⚖️?⚖️?
Soon Jehovah will cause the political elements of Satan’s system, as represented by the United Nations, to attack false religion. They will destroy her influence and devastate her riches. 
?⚖️?⚖️?
Such an event may have seemed unlikely just decades ago. Today, the harlot teeters on the back of the scarlet-colored beast. Even so, she will not slip slowly from her seat. Her tumble will be sudden and violent. (Rev. 18:7, 8, 15-19).

"I have made your name known."—John 17:26. - 
???????
Jesus wanted his followers to work together unitedly so that they could bring honor to God’s name. So, what did Jesus do? He asked for his Father’s help in the most beautiful prayer that any human will ever have the honor to read. (See opening picture.) This prayer is recorded at John 17:1-26. As we examine this prayer, let us think about these questions: “Has God answered Jesus’ prayer? Am I acting in harmony with it?”
???????
Jesus taught his disciples many wonderful things until late at night. Then he looked up to heaven and prayed: “Father, the hour has come; glorify your son, that your son may glorify you, according as you have given him authority over all flesh, that, as regards the whole number whom you have given him, he may give them everlasting life.” He added: “I have glorified you on the earth, having finished the work you have given me to do. So now you, Father, glorify me alongside yourself with the glory that I had alongside you before the world was.”—John 17:1-5.
???????
Jesus began his prayer by mentioning the things that were most important to him. First, he prayed that his Father be glorified. Jesus had started his model prayer by asking for the same thing. (Luke 11:2) Second, he prayed for the needs of his disciples. He asked that “he may give them everlasting life.” Finally, Jesus asked for something for himself. He asked: “Father, glorify me alongside yourself with the glory that I had alongside you before the world was.” Jehovah heard his Son’s prayer and gave him even more than he asked for. God gave him “a name more excellent than” that of all the angels.—Hebrews 1:4.
???????
In his prayer, Jesus also mentioned what we must do to receive the gift of everlasting life. (Read John 17:3.) He said that we must keep “taking in knowledge” of God and Christ. How can we do this? First, we must do all we can to learn more about Jehovah and his Son. Second, we need to use what we have learned in our life. The apostles had already done these two things, as Jesus said in his prayer: “The sayings that you gave me I have given to them, and they have received them.” (John 17:8) But to receive everlasting life, they needed to keep meditating on God’s Word and to use what they had learned in their daily lives. 
???????
If we want to live forever, we must keep “taking in knowledge” of God. What does this mean? The Greek word used here can also be translated “should keep on knowing” or “should continue knowing.” So “taking in knowledge” of God means to keep learning more and more about him. But this means much more than just knowing his qualities and purpose. We must love him deeply and have a close friendship with him. And we must show love for our brothers and sisters. The Bible explains: “He that does not love has not come to know God.” (1 John 4:8) 
???????
Knowing God also includes being obedient to him. (Read 1 John 2:3-5.) It is a great honor to be among those who know Jehovah! But we must be careful not to lose our precious friendship with him, as Judas Iscariot did. So let us work hard to strengthen our friendship with Jehovah. If we do, Jehovah will give us the wonderful gift of everlasting life.—Matthew 24:13.

Having to attend public school she has been able to witness to classmates and teachers helping her become bold along the way by standing up for her beliefs and sharing the good news of God’s Kingdom. 
A step towards a very happy future!”

"Your arrows . . . pierce the hearts of the king’s enemies."—Ps. 45:5.
?????????
Hail Christ, the Glorious King!
“In your splendor go on to victory.”—PSALM 45:4.
Read Psalm 45:6, 7. Because Jesus deeply loves what is right and hates anything that could dishonor his Father, Jehovah anointed him as King of the Messianic Kingdom. Jesus was anointed with “the oil of exultation” more than his “companions,” the kings of Judah who were also descendants of David. In what ways? First of all, Jesus was anointed by Jehovah himself. Second, Jehovah anointed Jesus to rule as King and also serve as High Priest. (Psalm 2:2;Hebrews 5:5, 6) Third, Jesus was not anointed with oil but was anointed with holy spirit. Finally, he rules from the heavens, not from the earth.
?????????
 In 1914, Jehovah appointed his Son as the Messianic King in heaven. “The scepter” of Jesus’ Kingdom “is a scepter of uprightness,” so we can be sure that his rule will always be fair and righteous. He has the right to be King because God is his throne, that is, Jehovah has appointed him as King. Jesus’ throne will last “forever and ever.” How proud we are to serve Jehovah under the King he has appointed!
?????????
Read Psalm 45:3. Jehovah tells the King to strap his sword on his side. By doing this, he gives Jesus permission to wage war against those who oppose God’s rule and to destroy them. (Psalm 110:2) Because Christ is a Warrior and King who cannot be defeated, he is called “mighty one.” He strapped on his sword in 1914, when he defeated Satan and the demons and threw them out of heaven down to the earth.—Revelation 12:7-9.
10 That was only the beginning of the King’s ride to victory. He still must “complete his conquest.” (Revelation 6:2) Jehovah has decided that every part of Satan’s world must be destroyed, and the influence of Satan and his demons must be removed. First, Babylon the Great, the world empire of false religion, will be eliminated. Jehovah will use the world’s political rulers to destroy this wicked “prostitute.” (Revelation 17:16, 17) 
?????????
Next, Christ will completely remove all governments of Satan’s world. Then, Jesus, who is called “the angel of the abyss,” will complete his victory by throwing Satan and the demons into the abyss. (Revelation 9:1, 11; 20:1-3) Let us see how these exciting events were foretold in Psalm 45.

Whole Family Begins To Study ? Joys of Knowing and Teaching About Jehovah!  – ???
The girl in the middle her name is Astoria. She saw us from far preaching door to door in Tanzania. 
In middle of the conversation with a householder she asked for a Watchtower to read and Bible study. 
Then she directed us to her house. We decided to follow her thinking it was only her who need to study the Bible. 
But to our surprise the whole family welcomed us and they wanted to study the Bible. 
After the study we told them about the meeting. We hope to see them Sunday.
??? Thank you
 

I know you’re extremely busy but while I have your attention, I was curious if you could share this photo of this brother?
He has had one of the toughest lives satan could throw on a person in this wicked system. His latest struggle is battling against brain cancer again. ?
But despite his past and continuing hardship, he is by far the HAPPIEST and sweetest brother you will ever see!!! He often posts updates of his life, but there is NEVER a single word of negativity or complaint.
If you could share this photo of @happy_hands_bruce_ and let the encouraging words of the friends prove   the scripture Proverbs 17:17 true. We’ve only known him and his wife for a short time since we joined American Sign Language last year, but they are such a tremendous example of having strong faith and truly bring honor to Jehovah’s great name!

Thank you.

It was a great privilege to have known the Bethel World Central!!! with my husband. Sandra and Beto Sausalina!!! Breathes the love of Jehovah everywhere!!!
