Let's Examine the Scriptures Every Day 2021

Jehovah's day will come exactly like a thief in the night (1 Thess. 5: 2).
In the little time left before “the day of Jehovah” comes, he expects us to keep busy with the preaching work. We must make sure that we are “very busy in the work of the Lord” (1 Cor. 15:58). When Jesus spoke of the important events that would take place during the last days, he said: "Furthermore, the good news must first be preached in all nations" (Mark 13: 4, 8, 10; Matt. 24:14). Consider this: Every time we go out into the ministry, we participate in the fulfillment of this Bible prophecy. Year after year, more people hear the good news of the Kingdom. Let's see how the number of Kingdom proclaimers has grown throughout the world in recent days. In 1914, there were 5,155 publishers in 43 countries. Today we are about 8,500,000 publishers in 240 countries and territories. But our work is not finished yet. We must continue to proclaim that only the Kingdom of God will solve man's problems (Ps. 145: 11-13). w19.10 8 par. 3; 9, 10 paras. 7, 8
What things do we not know about the proclamation of "peace and security"? b) What do we already know about her?
We know some details about the proclamation of "peace and security." However, there are things that we do not know, such as what will lead the nations to make that announcement and how they will do it. We also do not know if it will be a single statement or a series of announcements. Be that as it may, there is one thing we do know: that we must not be fooled into believing that the leaders of nations will bring world peace. Rather, this is the proclamation we are waiting for, the sign that “the day of Jehovah” is about to begin.
How does 1 Thessalonians 5: 4-6 help us get ready for “the day of the Lord”?
(Read 1 Thessalonians 5: 4-6). Paul tells us what we must do in order to be ready for "the day of the Lord." We should not fall asleep "like others do", but be awake and remain alert. For example, we have to be aware of the danger of getting mixed up in the political affairs of the world and thus violating our neutrality. If we did, we could become “part of the world” (John 15:19). We know that only the Kingdom of God will bring world peace.
What help do we want to give people, and why?
In addition to being awake, we want to help other people “wake up,” that is, help them know what the Bible says will happen to this world. Remember that once the great tribulation begins, it will be too late for them to seek Jehovah. That is why preaching is so urgent. *
