Return visit (3 min.): Use the topic of ideas for conversation (th lesson 9).

Publisher: Good morning Israel, I'm glad to find you home again, how are you?

Helper: Very well Alberto, I was waiting for you, how are you?

Publisher: Great, thanks. Well, let's be brief as we were last time, that's how we ended up. We talked a bit about how if we read the Bible we might come to the conclusion that it can be useful.

Assistant: Yes, the truth is that I told you that it was of no use to me when I haven't even read it. And I've reflected on it, I really don't know what promises the Bible makes or how reading the Bible can give me hope.

Publisher: The Bible promises us many beautiful things that if you read them all right now you would tell me that this is impossible or that it is a story.

Helper: Well, try and see... then you argue with me like last week...

Publisher: Very well, so we are going to read a text... it is Revelation 21:3 and 4... if you want you can read verse 3, we pause, we discuss it, and then I read verse 4...

Assistant: Ok, very good, do you have it?

Publisher: Yes… look…

Helper: It says… “Then I heard a loud voice coming from the throne and saying: “Look!” God's tent is with humanity. He will reside with them and they will be his people. God himself will be with them.

Publisher: Perfect, thanks for reading... let's imagine the scene... today it's sunny, imagine that suddenly you hear a voice coming from heaven saying this... and you see a dazzling celestial throne that stays there, on the horizon , as if he was watching us and he doesn't leave...

Assistant: Ok, could you give me an idea…

Publisher: Now verse 4 says… “And he will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, nor will there be any more sadness or crying or pain. The former things have disappeared.” I bring with me this brochure "Listen to God and you will live forever", look at your lesson number 10, does this illustration reflect what we just read?

Helper: Well yes, perfectly in fact, there are things that I don't know how to interpret... but there you can see the throne, with God, and you can see that the people here are happy, certainly not like now...

Publisher: Very well, they look happy, there is no crying, no pain, no tears, we could say that there is no death but all happiness and life...

Helper: Yes, that's right.

Publisher: Do you see yourself living that way in the not so distant future?

Helper: Look around us Alberto, it's impossible, it would be fantastic and great… but who is going to solve all this, all the mess that is going on now?

Publisher: What if I tell you that this question is also answered by the Bible?

Assistant: Well, I tell you that you will have to give me the answer.

Publisher: And so we'll do it, actually, next week, if you want, like we've done these last two, see what will help us understand the Bible?

Helper: Sure, I'll wait for you here like today, I'm enjoying talking with you and talking about the Bible.

Publisher: Very good, but before I go, like last week, I would like you to reflect during the week on what we just talked about... imagine you and your family... on a trip to the countryside, or to the mountains... or on vacation in a quiet place where only you, your wife and your two children are... you are in a high position and your wife is playing with your two children... it is not true, you are happy watching the scene and in a way controlling that everything is perfect and that they don't get hurt, they don't fall, nothing bad happens but they continue to enjoy like this...

Helper: I would do everything possible for it to be like that, your happiness is my happiness, and I would do everything in my power to prolong this good moment... of course, every father would want the same thing, right, Alberto?

Publisher: Well, that is what our heavenly Father Jehovah wants to see, that is, God, and his power is much broader and infinite than ours. So He can make that moment eternal and nothing bad happens to us... See you next week Israel.
