Let us examine the scriptures every day 2024

Saturday July 13, 2024.

The good news of the Kingdom will be preached throughout the inhabited earth (Matt. 24:14).

Jesus was sure that during the conclusion of the system there would be enough workers. He knew that these prophetic words would be fulfilled: “Your people will volunteer on the day you command your military forces” (Ps. 110:3). If you preach the good news, you are supporting Jesus and the faithful slave, and participating in the fulfillment of this prophecy. The preaching is taking place, but there are some obstacles. One of them is the opposition. Apostates, politicians and religious leaders spread many lies about our work. If our family members, acquaintances, and coworkers believe them, they may try to stop us from serving Jehovah and preaching. In some countries, our enemies threaten us, attack us, detain us and even imprison us. w22.07 8 para. 1; 9 paras. 5, 6.

What evidence do you see that Revelation 14:6, 7 is being fulfilled?

Another obstacle is the large number of languages ​​there are. In the vision Jesus gave to the apostle John, he implied that this would not prevent the good news from being announced (read Revelation 14:6, 7). How have we managed to overcome that obstacle? Making Bible information available to the public in more than 1,000 languages ​​on our website, jw.org. Additionally, the Governing Body has given permission for our primary Bible course teaching manual, Enjoy Life, to be translated into more than 700 languages. And there is also spiritual nourishment available in the form of videos for the deaf and in Braille for the blind. In this way, more people than ever before have the opportunity to accept the Kingdom message. Bible prophecies are being fulfilled before our eyes: people “from every language of the nations” are learning to speak the “pure language” of Bible truth (Zech. 8:23; Zeph. 3:9). All this is a reality thanks to the perfect supervision of Jesus Christ.

What have been the results of the preaching so far?

Today, more than 8 million people in 240 countries and territories are part of Jehovah's organization. And every year thousands and thousands are baptized! But the numbers are not the most important thing, but the spiritual qualities that these new disciples have cultivated, what the Bible calls “the new personality” (Col. 3:8-10). Many of them have left sexual immorality, violence, prejudice and the nationalist spirit. The prophecy of Isaiah 2:4 is being fulfilled: “Neither will they learn to wage war any more.” As we strive to wear the new personality, we draw people to God's organization and demonstrate that we follow Jesus Christ, our overseer (John 13:35; 1 Pet. 2:12). And none of this is by chance; Jesus is helping us.

According to Matthew 24:45-47, what did Jesus say would happen in the end time?

(Read Matthew 24:45-47). Jesus predicted that in the time of the end he would entrust a “faithful and wise slave” with the task of giving us spiritual food. So you would expect this slave to be working hard nowadays. And so he is doing it. Jesus uses a small group of anointed Christians to give “food in due season” to God's servants and interested people. These men do not consider themselves “masters of the faith” of others (2 Cor. 1:24). Rather, they recognize that Jesus Christ is the “leader and commander” of his people (Is. 55:4).

Image Series: Publications that have been used over the decades to help people learn from the Bible. 1. 1949: “Let God be true.” A sister preaches to a couple and offers them the book. 2. 1968: “The truth that leads to eternal life.” A man reads the book in his house. 3. 1982: “You can live forever in paradise on Earth.” A brother gives Bible classes to a man. 4. 1995: “The knowledge that leads to eternal life.” A brother gives Bible classes to a colleague during lunch break at his place of employment. 5. 2005 and 2017: The books “What does the Bible really teach?” and “What does the Bible teach us?” A sister gives Bible classes to a woman. 6. 2021: “Enjoy life.” A sister gives Bible classes to a woman via video conference.

Which of the books shown in the images helped you get on the path that leads to life?

Since 1919, The Faithful Slave has prepared a wide range of publications to give people their first opportunity to taste nutritious spiritual food. In 1921, the slave published the book The Harp of God in English to teach the basic truths of the Bible. As times changed, other books were published. With which one did you come to know and love our heavenly Father? Maybe it was with one of these: “Let God be true”, The truth that leads to eternal life, You can live forever in paradise on Earth, The knowledge that leads to eternal life, What does the Bible really teach? o What does the Bible teach us? Or you may be using the new Enjoy Life manual. These books were published to help us make disciples, and they have always arrived at the right time.
