Let's Examine the Scriptures Every Day 2022

I saw a large crowd that was shouting with a loud voice: “Salvation we owe to our God and to the Lamb!” (Rev. 7:9, 10).
What will happen in the future? During the great tribulation, Jehovah will save us in two impressive ways. First, he will save his loyal servants when he causes “the kings of the earth” to destroy Babylon the Great, the collection of all the false religions of the world (Rev. 17:16-18; 18:2, 4 ). And second, he will save the people from him when he wipes out the rest of Satan's world at Armageddon (Rev. 16:14, 16). As long as we are close to Jehovah, Satan will not be able to do us any permanent harm. In fact, he is the one who is going to be destroyed forever (Rom. 16:20). So let's put on the full armor and never take it off. Let's not try to fight alone, let's support our brothers and follow Jehovah's orders. If we do, we can be sure that our loving heavenly Father will strengthen and protect us (Isa. 41:10). w21. 03 30 paras. 16, 17
What is the helmet of salvation, and why should we put it on?
The helmet of salvation is the hope that Jehovah gives us, the hope that he will save us from death and reward those who do his will (1 Thess. 5:8; 1 Tim. 4:10; Titus 1:1, 2 ). Just as a helmet protects a soldier's head, the hope of salvation protects our ability to think. How? It helps us stay focused on God's promises and see problems in the right perspective. How do we put on the helmet of salvation? By striving to think like Jehovah. For example, we do not put our “hope in uncertain riches, but in God” (Ps. 26:2; 104:34; 1 Tim. 6:17).
What is the sword of the spirit, and why should we use it?
The sword of the spirit is the Word of God, the Bible. This sword has the power to expose any deception and free people from false teachings and bad habits (2 Cor. 10:4, 5; 2 Tim. 3:16, 17; Heb. 4:12) . We learn to use it well through personal study and training from God's organization (2 Tim. 2:15). Now, spiritual armor is not the only protection that Jehovah gives us. Let's see another.
