    Grateful Recipients of GodÂ’s Undeserved Kindness
    ??????????
    The Scriptures speak of “the free gift of God’s undeserved kindness.” (Eph. 3:7) Why and how does Jehovah bestow this “free gift”? If we met all of Jehovah’s requirements perfectly, his kindness toward us would be deserved. As it is, we fail to do so. Thus, wise King Solomon wrote: “There is no righteous man on earth who always does good and never sins.” (Eccl. 7:20) The apostle Paul likewise stated: “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” and “the wages sin pays is death.” (Rom. 3:23;6:23a) That is what we deserve.
    ????????
    Jehovah, however, expressed his love toward fallen mankind in an incomparable act of undeserved kindness. He sent his greatest gift of all, “his only-begotten Son,” to earth to die in our behalf. (John 3:16) So Paul wrote concerning Jesus that he is “now crowned with glory and honor for having suffered death, so that by God’s undeserved kindness he might taste death for everyone.” (Heb. 2:9) Yes, “the gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord.”—Rom. 6:23b.
    ????????
    Being forgiven of our sins. Because of Jehovah’s undeserved kindness, we have our sins forgiven, provided we repent and continue to put up a hard fight against our sinful inclinations. (Read 1 John 1:8, 9.) God’s mercy should fill us with gratitude and move us to glorify him. Writing to fellow anointed Christians, Paul stated: “[Jehovah] rescued us from the authority of the darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son, by means of whom we have our release by ransom, the forgiveness of our sins.” (Col. 1:13, 14) Being forgiven of our sins opens the door to many other wonderful blessings.
    ????????
    Having a peaceful relationship with God. In our sinful state, from birth we were enemies of God. Paul acknowledged this: “When we were enemies we became reconciled to God through the death of his Son.” (Rom. 5:10) This reconciliation enables us to be at peace with Jehovah. Paul links this privilege to Jehovah’s undeserved kindness, stating: “Now that we [Christ’s anointed brothers] have been declared righteous as a result of faith, let us enjoy peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we also have obtained access by faith into this undeserved kindness in which we now stand.” (Rom. 5:1, 2) What a blessing this is!
    ????????
    Being brought to righteousness. All of us are unrighteous by nature. But the prophet Daniel foretold that during the time of the end, “those having insight,” the anointed remnant, would be “bringing the many to righteousness.” (Read Daniel 12:3.) By their preaching and teaching work, they have brought millions of “other sheep” into a righteous standing before Jehovah. (John 10:16) However, this has been possible only through Jehovah’s undeserved kindness. Paul explained: “It is as a free gift that they are being declared righteous by his [God’s] undeserved kindness through the release by the ransom paid by Christ Jesus.”—Rom. 3:23, 24.
    ????????
    Approaching God’s throne through prayer. Jehovah in his undeserved kindness grants us the blessing of approaching his heavenly throne in prayer. In fact, Paul calls Jehovah’s throne “the throne of undeserved kindness” and invites us to approach it “with freeness of speech.” (Heb. 4:16a) Jehovah has afforded us this privilege through his Son, “by means of whom we have this freeness of speech and free access with confidence through our faith in him.” (Eph. 3:12) Free access to Jehovah in prayer is indeed a wonderful expression of his undeserved kindness.

     "For Jehovah himself gives wisdom;
    From his mouth come knowledge and discernment.
    He treasures up practical wisdom for the upright;
    He is a shield for those walking in integrity.
    He watches over the paths of justice,
    And he will guard the way of his loyal ones."

    ???????
    Likewise, the expression “the One who is and who was and who is coming” (Re 1:8; 4:8) clearly points to the God of eternity (Ps 90:2), who not only “was” the Almighty in ancient times but continues to be so and “is coming” as such with an expression of his all-powerfulness. Again violent action is indicated, following his ‘taking his great power’ to rule as king, by the expression of his wrath against the opposing nations at “the war of the great day of God the Almighty.” (Re 11:17, 18; 16:14) 
    ???????
    His Son, Christ Jesus, “The Word of God,” is shown as expressing this “wrath of God the Almighty” against the nations in his position as king anointed by God. (Re 19:13-16) Yet such mighty expressions of God’s judicial decisions continue to be in full accord with his standards of truth and righteousness.—Re 16:5-7.

    "The armies in heaven were following him on white horses."—Rev. 19:14. - 
    ?????????
    This name is directly associated with “the war of the great day of God the Almighty.” The term applies specifically to the condition, or situation, to which “the kings of the entire inhabited earth” are gathered in opposition to Jehovah and his Kingdom by Jesus Christ. In a number of versions it is rendered “Armageddon.” (Re 16:14, 16, AT; KJ; JB; RS; TEV) 
    ?????????
    The Revelation account depicts the combined forces of the kings of the earth as being gathered “to the place [Gr., form of to?pos] that is called in Hebrew Har–Magedon.” (Re 16:16) In the Bible to?pos may refer to a literal location (Mt 14:13,15, 35); to one’s opportunity, or “chance” (Ac 25:16); or to a figurative realm, condition, or situation (Re 12:6, 14). In view of the context, it is to a “place” in the last-mentioned sense that earth’s combined military powers are marching.
    ?????????
    “The war of the great day of God the Almighty” at Har–Magedon was not some past event but is depicted in Revelation as future from the time of John’s vision. The gathering of the kings to Har–Magedon is described as being a result of the pouring out of the sixth of the seven bowls containing the “last” plagues that will bring to a finish the anger of God. (Re 15:1; 16:1, 12) Also, indicating that the war at Har–Magedon is closely associated with Christ’s presence is the warning of his coming as a thief, which is placed between verses 14 and 16 of Revelation chapter 16.
    ?????????
    The global aspect of the war is emphasized in the context. There the opponents of Jehovah are identified as “the kings of the entire inhabited earth,” who are mobilized by “expressions inspired by demons.”—Re 16:14.
    ?????????
    Farther on, John says: “And I saw the wild beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to wage the war with the one seated on the horse and with his army.” (Re 19:19) This chapter identifies the leader of the heavenly armies, seated on a white horse, as one who is called “Faithful and True” and “The Word of God.” (Re 19:11-13) 
    ?????????
    Therefore, it is Jesus Christ, The Word, who acts as the commander of God’s heavenly armies. (Joh 1:1; Re 3:14) Further showing that Christ leads the heavenly forces is the statement that the earthly forces “battle with the Lamb [who is Jesus Christ (Joh 1:29)], but, because he is Lord of lords and King of kings, the Lamb will conquer them. Also, those called and chosen and faithful with him will do so.”—Re 17:13, 14.
    ?????????
    Since the vision in Revelation chapter 19reveals only armies in heaven as participating in the warfare as supporters of Jesus Christ, The Word of God, it indicates that none of Jehovah’s Christian servants on earth will participate in the fighting. This is in harmony with the words of Jesus Christ at Matthew 26:52 that his disciples not resort to weapons of physical warfare. (Compare Ex 14:13, 14; 2Ch 20:15, 17,22, 23; Ps 2:4-9.) The birds that fly in midheaven will dispose of the bodies of those slaughtered.—Re 19:11-21.
    ?????????
    Har–Magedon  (Armageddon) is thus seen to be a fight, not merely among men, but one in which God’s invisible armies take part. Its coming is certain and it will take place at the time set by Jehovah God, who “is doing according to his own will among the army of the heavens and the inhabitants of the earth.”—Da 4:35; see also Mt 24:36.

    UN urged Russia to abolish the list of extremist materials ?????
    The only basis for all accusations of Jehovah's Witnesses in "extremism" - the Federal List of Extremist Materials - can be revoked. Russia was called to this by the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) in its Recommendation of August 25, 2017.
    The UN Committee is concerned about the unclear definition of the concept of extremist activity and the lack of clear criteria by which materials can be classified as extremist that is used against vulnerable segments of the population.
    The international community unanimously condemned the accusations of extremism and the ban imposed by the Russian court on the organization of Jehovah's Witnesses. This can be seen from the following official statements.

    A brutal attack on believers in the Moscow region on the basis of religious hatred  / September 4, 2017
     August 17, 2017 in the village. Nikonovsky (Ramensky district of the Moscow region) attacked the 56-year-old follower of the religion of Jehovah's Witnesses, as a result of which she was hospitalized.
    The attack occurred at about 18:00. Three believers on the bench conversed, holding the Bible in their hands. At this time, a local resident approached them from behind and shouted "Get out! You were banned! "Struck one of the believers on the head with a glass jar that was in her bag. The blow was so strong that the residents of neighboring houses took him for a shot. Continuing to shout out religious insults and threats, the attacker scattered the contents of the believer's bag.
    A team of ambulance doctors stopped the bleeding and delivered the victim to the hospital, where she was hospitalized with a brain injury with concussion. An application was submitted to the police.

    If you feel that there has been some injustice in the congregation, remember that you could be mistaken. Why? We are imperfect and may have misunderstood the situation. We also may not have all the facts. But whether our understanding is correct or not, we must pray to Jehovah about the situation, rely on him, and remain loyal. This will prevent us from becoming “enraged against Jehovah.”—Read Proverbs 19:3.
    ??????
     If we think that we have experienced injustice in the congregation, we must be very careful not to gossip about the situation. Of course, we should ask for help from the elders and tell them if a brother has committed a serious sin. (Leviticus 5:1) However, in many cases that do not involve a serious sin, it may be possible to make peace with a brother without telling anyone else, not even the elders. (Read Matthew 5:23, 24; 18:15.) Let us be loyal and apply Bible principles in these situations. Sometimes we may realize that we have misunderstood the situation and that we were not the victim of an injustice after all. Then we would be grateful that we did not make the situation worse by saying bad things about our brother! Remember that whether we are right or wrong, saying something hurtful will never improve a situation. Loyalty to Jehovah and to our brothers will protect us from making such a mistake. The psalmist said that there is “one who is walking faultlessly.” Such a person “does not slander with his tongue, he does nothing bad to his neighbor.”—Psalm 15:2, 3; James 3:5.
    ??????
    n a similar way, we must cherish and protect our relationship with Jehovah. We should never allow the imperfections of our brothers to separate us from the God we love and worship. (Romans 8:38, 39) Instead, if we experience injustice in the congregation, let us imitate Joseph and draw even closer to Jehovah. Try to have His view of matters. After we have done all that we can to solve the problem by following Bible principles, we need to leave the matter in Jehovah’s hands. We can be confident that he will correct the matter in his own time and way.

    Jehovah's witnesses are fulfilling an important phase of God's purpose, which is double. First, the collection and testing of the anointed. And Secondarily, the gathering of those who ultimately constitute the great multitude of people who will survive the great tribulation.
    However, at some point (no one knows the day or the hour) the world's preaching of Jehovah's witnesses will suddenly stop. This will be considered an unprecedented disaster, as projected in Joel's prophecy
    During the conclusion, the chosen will shine as brightly as the sun in the kingdom of his father. This will happen when all the children of the kingdom are collected.
    At that moment, when the first resurrection has begun and continues for a while after the presence of Jesus, the angel will say:
    (Revelation 14:7) and said with a strong voice: " Fear God and give him glory, for it is time for the trial for him
    About 20 years ago the ruling body revised its teaching to recognize now that sheep and goats will not be separated to a certain extent in the future when the son of man sits on his glorious throne. That'll start the time of trial for him.
    Meanwhile, the nations are queuing up for the war. The Cyber, diplomatic, commercial and propaganda wars have been going on for some time. China is accelerating the move to replace the dollar as a global reserve currency, which has occurred since the end of World War II. In fact, the London-centered financial system is moving to support China and destroy the United States, while trump is being lured to launch a nuclear war over North Korea. - Contributed
