    Bible Speaks got a reaction from The Librarian in Darkness Will Cover the Earth, Yet Jehovah Will Show His Light!   
    “DARKNESS itself will cover the earth, and thick gloom the national groups; but upon you Jehovah will shine forth, and upon you his own glory will be seen.” (Isaiah 60:2) 
    These words well describe the situation on earth since 1919. Christendom has rejected the sign of the royal presence of Jesus Christ, “the light of the world.” (John 8:12; Matthew 24:3) 
    Because of the “great anger” of Satan, chief of “the world rulers of this darkness,” the 20th century was the cruelest, most destructive time of man’s history. (Revelation 12:12; Ephesians 6:12) 
    Most people live in spiritual darkness.
    Still, light does shine today. Jehovah ‘shines forth’ upon his servants, the anointed remnant, who are the earthly representatives of his heavenly “woman.” (Isaiah 60:1) 
    Especially since their release from Babylonish captivity in 1919, these have reflected God’s glory and have ‘let their light shine before men.’ (Matthew 5:16) 
    From 1919 through 1931, Kingdom light shone brighter Jehovah fulfilled his promise: “I shall without fail collect the remaining ones of Israel together. In unity I shall set them, like a flock in the pen, like a drove in the midst of its pasture; they will be noisy with men.” (Micah 2:12) 
    In 1931, Jehovah’s glory upon his people became even more evident when they accepted the name Jehovah’s Witnesses.
    Jehovah’s Witnesses know that many in this world will oppose them. (John 17:14) 
    Still, they are strengthened by Isaiah’s prophecy: “To you the sons of those afflicting you must go, bowing down; and all those treating you disrespectfully must bend down at the very soles of your feet, and they will have to call you the city of Jehovah, Zion of the Holy One of Israel.” (Isaiah 60:14) 
    To their chagrin, opposers will soon have to recognize that they have, in effect, been fighting against God himself. Who can win such a battle?
    Jehovah sheds light on his people, blessing them, guiding them, and strengthening them. During the 20th century, they saw the fulfillment of Isaiah’s words: “The little one himself will become a thousand, and the small one a mighty nation. I myself, Jehovah, shall speed it up in its own time.” (Isaiah 60:22)

    Failing is not always failure....

    16 "For the righteous one may fall seven times, and he will get up again..."

    Bible Speaks reacted to Bible Speaks in “Holy, holy, holy is Jehovah of armies." Is the Name of Jehovah Holy to You?   
    2 "Seraphs were standing    above him;  3 "And one called to the other:
    “Holy, holy, holy is Jehovah of armies. The whole earth is filled with his glory.”
          ( Isaiah 6:2)
    Jehovah. The quality of holiness belongs to Jehovah. (Ex 39:30;Zec 14:20) 
    Christ Jesus addressed him as “Holy Father.” (Joh 17:11) 
    Those in the heavens are shown declaring: “Holy, holy, holy is Jehovah of armies,” attributing to him holiness, cleanness in the superlative degree. (Isa 6:3)
    He is the Most HolyOne, superior to all others in holiness. (Pr 30:3; here the plural form of the Hebrew word translated “Most Holy” is used to denote excellence and majesty.) 
    The Israelites were frequently reminded that Jehovah is the Source of all holiness as they observed the words “Holiness belongs to Jehovah” that were engraved on the shining gold plate on the high priest’s turban. This plate was called “the holy sign of dedication,” showing that the high priest was set apart to a service of special holiness. (Ex 28:36; 29:6) 
    In Moses’ victory song after the deliverance through the Red Sea, Israel sang: “Who among the gods is like you, O Jehovah? Who is like you, proving yourself mighty in holiness?” (Ex 15:11; 1Sa 2:2) 
    As an added guarantee of the carrying out of his word, Jehovah has even sworn by his holiness.—Am 4:2.
    God’s name is sacred, set apart from all defilement. (1Ch 16:10; Ps 111:9) 
    His name Jehovah is to be held as holy, sanctified above all others. (Mt 6:9) 
    Disrespect for his name merits the punishment of death.—Le 24:10-16, 23; Nu 15:30.
    Since Jehovah God is the Originator of all righteous principles and laws (Jas 4:12) and is the basis of all holiness, any person or thing that is holybecomes so because of relationship with Jehovah and his worship. 
    One cannot have understanding or wisdom unless he has knowledge of the Most Holy One. (Pr 9:10) 
    Jehovah can be worshiped only in holiness. One claiming to worship him but practicing uncleanness is disgusting in his sight. (Pr 21:27) 
    When Jehovah foretold that he would make the way clear for his people to return to Jerusalem from Babylonian exile, he said: “The Way of Holiness it will be called. The unclean one will not pass over it.” (Isa 35:8)

    Bible Speaks reacted to Bible Speaks in Who Created the Snow and the Ice Crystals? ❄️❄️❄️   
    Who Created the Snow and         the Ice Crystals? 
    HOARFROST - ICE CRYSTALS 
    A silvery-white deposit of ice needles formed by direct condensation at freezing temperatures. The ice crystals are long and needle shaped; usually they are perpendicular to the objects on which they occur and are most abundant along their edges. 
    The moisture in the atmosphere freezes without passing through the liquid state, condensing on trees, plants, and other objects, usually in the night. It is often found on windows.
    Jehovah gives forth the hoarfrost with as much ease as a man scatters ashes with his hand. It covers, or encrusts, such things as trees, grass, and houses with a covering, just as though ashes had been scattered over them by Jehovah’s invisible hand.
    38 "Then Jehovah answered Job out of the windstorm:
    "Have you entered the storehouses of the snow?Or have you seen the storehouses of the hail?"
    23 "Which I have reserved for the time of distress,
    For the day of battle and war?"
    29 "From whose womb did the ice emerge,
    And who gave birth to the frost of heaven?"
    30 "When the waters are covered as if with stone,
    And the surface of the deep waters is frozen solid?"
    16 "He sends the snow like wool;
    He scatters the frost just like ashes."
    17 "He hurls down his hailstones like morsels of bread.
    Who can withstand his cold?"
          (Psalm 147:16,17)

    Bible Speaks got a reaction from Carol Ann Torres in Will You Reflect God’s Glory?   
    Will You ReflectGod’s Glory?
    “We . . . reflect like mirrors the glory of Jehovah.”
    (2 Cor. 3:18.)
    Christians do not reflect God’s glory by means of rays that beam from their faces like Moses, their faces fairly beam as they tell others about Jehovah’s glorious personality and purposes. 
    May we ‘walk’ with those who reflect God’s glory. How pleasant it is to do so! As we gather together with our spiritual brothers and sisters at our meetings and at other times, we find encouragement in their love, their faith, their joy, and their wisdom. Such wholesome association strengthens our determination to persevere in our ministry.
    Jehovah “supplies endurance” to those who are willing to reflect his glory. He answers our prayers and gives us the wisdom to deal with trials. (Romans 15:5; James 1:5) 
    What is more, Jehovah does not allow us to be subjected to any trial that is impossible to bear. If we trust in Jehovah, he will make the way out so that we can continue to reflecthis glory.—1 Corinthians 10:13.

    Bible Speaks got a reaction from Queen Esther in You Men Will Have Night, So That There will be No Vision; and Darkness You Will Have   
    Armageddon is. Coming soon, see it? Keep on the watch! It is NIGHT!
    At Romans 13:11, 12, “the night” manifestly refers to a period of darkness caused by God’s Adversary, which is due to be ended by Christ Jesus and his reign. (See Eph 6:12, 13; Col 1:13, 14.) At 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11
    God’s servants who have been enlightened by his truth are contrasted with worldly people who have not. Their way of life manifests that they are “sons of light and sons of day. [They] belong neither to night nor to darkness.” (See Joh 8:12; 12:36, 46; 1Pe 2:9; 2Co 6:14.)
    A similar usage is found at Micah 3:6, where the prophet says to those rejecting true divine guidance: “Therefore you men will have night, so that there will be no vision; and darkness you will have, so as not to practice divination. And the sun will certainly set upon the prophets, and the day must get dark upon them.”—Compare Joh 3:19-21. #jworg
