    Interesting....I was going over that myself early this morning. The first sealing is an invitation and the second sealing is the actual confirmation of such invitation. Once those that have been invited are confirmed.....the GT will strike.

    I've been thinking a lot about this subject. ✔️Questions From Readers What is the sealing referred to at Revelation 7:3? https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/w20070101/Questions-From-Readers/

    Worth remembering that Jehovah put the charge of failure to Adam. He held the greater accountability.

    I saw a post by one of the false prophet’s mouth-pieces on social media last week. Directly claiming that American forces are the Biblical “peacemakers” and “sons of God.” Talk about unclean inspired expressions!
  14. tmm started following Monday, January 19 David . . . , a man agreeable to my heart.​—Acts 13:22.
  15. tmm
    Beautifully expressed, David, especially: "He failed, yes—but he didn’t relocate his heart. Pressure pushed him toward Jehovah, not away." Considering the text again, I thought of how Jehovah was so forgiving and wise that, due to David's complete and utter repentance and taking his correction as he needed to, Jehovah wiped the slate clean and could view him at the end of his life as someone "agreeable" to his heart. It had me pondering about how Lot, despite some unwise moments, was called "righteous Lot" for all time. Jehovah's love is wider and deeper than we humans could even grasp fully at this present time in human history.

    Yes that was part of my talk in the one day assembly on Rev 2:20 See: https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1990250#h=1:0-10:0

    Ok, so it says that David was a man agreeable to Jehovah's heart and that makes me think of a couple Scriptures. It also makes me think of the way David understood what was important to Jehovah. The first Scripture I wanted to look at is one we are very familiar with because it speaks on how we should view people, the way Jehovah views people: 1 Samuel 16:7 But Jehovah said to Samuel: “Do not pay attention to his appearance and how tall he is, for I have rejected him. For the way man sees is not the way God sees, because mere man sees what appears to the eyes, but Jehovah sees into the heart.” Another Scripture I want to look at is from Psalm and is one that I share with others alot who are experiencing heart break usually over the death of a loved one: Psalm 34:18 Jehovah is close to the brokenhearted; He saves those who are crushed in spirit. The psalmist hear had a clear understanding of the type of heart condition that Jehovah responds to or notices and David I believe he had a great understanding of this. Ok, I want to look at two more verses from Psalm one is from my favorite Psalm which is in Psalm 19. Psalm 19:14 May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be pleasing to you, O Jehovah, my Rock and my Redeemer. So, you see that the psalmist that wrote these Scriptures had a deep understanding of how Jehovah viewed the heart or the 'innermost being'. The last Scripture I want to share is from Psalm 51. Psalm 51:6 Look! You find pleasure in truth in the inner person; Teach my innermost self true wisdom.

    It would be lovely if they were just audio files in JWL in the Audio section, just like the monthly JW Broadcast audio files.
  21. Watching and Waiting
    With a background in farming and gardening my whole life, I'm still amazed at the resiliency of plants when given even just a little tender care. Sometimes it takes awhile depending on the amount of neglect they have suffered [@Ostria's] and other times as in @Pabo's Kingdom Hall hedge above, with purposeful removal and care, they will recover much quicker. Recovery of plants from wild fires and droughts and all manner of mistreatment really makes me think of how marvelously Jehovah created all living things and I can't wait to learn so much more about it when untethered from the restraints of this old system.

    It's already remarkable that the UN will have a new Secretary-General by January 2027 and that person will need the approval of the USA. Now this! The UN is entering uncharted waters with a new captain. Amazing!

    My plants (purchased back in May 2025) have all ceased to be due to colder weather. I think next spring I'll try to cultivate some roses and maybe impatiens.

    At our local Kingham Hall, we needed to pull down our front fencing so the LDC can have easier access to our carpark for some minor reno's. Thus I had to hack down the moraya hedge that has been there for about 20 years, transplant them into pots until the LDC have finished with our KH. This is the hedge before they were trimmed down for transplanting, this photo is about 4 years old and they are usually maintained at this size about 1.5m (5ft) tall. This is what they are now after removing the them after being hacked, planted into temporary boxes for later transplanting and storaged at our home. Those planter boxes capacity is about 100L (3.5 cubic feet) and they are still about 1m (3.3 feet) tall. Whilst preparing them to be put into the storgae pots, one of the plants root system had grown around a brick that was in the soil (which had some building rubble in it when they were originally planted). With Brick Brick removed.

    Muse Farm

    Barbllm posted a blog entry in Georgia on my Heart

    Muse Farm Muse Farm is a refurbished barn/indoor entertaining area in Bremen, Georgia, not too far from the Alabama state line. It’s perfect for any kind of event, including family reunions, wedding receptions, anniversary parties, or graduation parties. Its decor is rustic chic inside and pure country outside, with rolling hills, antiques, and some local farm animals (mostly horses) that make for excellent photography. There’s even an antique truck outside that can be used as a prop. There are Mason jar chandeliers and a seat made from the back of a truck bed: There’s also a pool table in an adjacent room from the main dining area as well as a grill outside, for those who want to enjoy the sunny weather in spring or summer as well as the cooler fall air in Georgia.

    Since the Woman was deceived, God thought he better stop creating humans before it got any worse for Man.

    What stands out to me is that David’s value didn’t come from a smooth life or a clean record. It came from where he kept turning. He failed, yes—but he didn’t relocate his heart. Pressure pushed him toward Jehovah, not away. His counsel to Solomon wasn’t clever advice or leadership strategy. He lived it. Obedience wasn’t theory to him. It was survival. It was the only way to be standing when everything else collapsed. That’s why the counsel is beneficial. Not because David always succeeded—but rather when he didn’t, he still listened. “For even if the righteous one falls seven times, he will get up again.” — Proverbs 24:16a, NWT

      jwhess posted a post in a topic,

      Modern references to creative days:
       
      *** w15 6/1 p. 5 How Science Affects Your Life ***
      The Bible fixes no duration for the six creative “days.” Instead, it opens the door for modern scientists to study them and assign accurate time spans to them. We know that the creative “days” were much longer than 24-hour days.
       
      *** g21 No. 3 p. 12 What the Bible Tells Us ***
      So each of the six creative “days” during which God prepared the earth for life and created life on it could represent extremely long periods of time.
       
      *** g 1/14 p. 12 Creation ***
      WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS God created the universe, including the earth, in the indefinite past—“in the beginning,” as Genesis 1:1 says. Modern science agrees that the universe had a beginning. A recent scientific model suggests it to be almost 14 billion years old.
       
      *** lc pp. 26 Science and the Genesis Account ***
      A careful consideration of the Genesis account reveals that events starting during one “day” continued into one or more of the following “days.”

      A little boy wants to make his father happy. He wants to buy him a gift, but he doesn’t have any money. So he turns to his father and asks him for a few coins. Now he has money, but the gift he wants to get is in a store, and the store is in town. Again, he needs the help of his father. Once in the store, he finds that the gift is way up on the shelf. The father has to lift him up. Same thing at the register. Having returned back home, the son, beaming and proud, hands the father his gift.

      A sweet little story but strictly speaking one could argue that the father himself was the generous giver here. In the end, he had to accompany and help his son at every step of the way, and he was even the one paying for it all. 

      If, however, the father had done everything himself, the outcome wouldn’t have been the same. In the way that it happened, the father, in fact, made it possible for the son to be something he could not have become on his own: a gift-giver.

      This story illustrates how God relates to us. God does not need man, but God allows man to share in his saving work. Man is given the grace to take part in God’s work, and this actually shows the true greatness of God. Man is not kept in a completely inactive dependency, but rather he is equipped with the power to do good.
      And this is exactly the reason there is a congregation. God does not need the congregation, but he wants the congregation so that through her we can become active sharers in the divine work of salvation. 
      In this way, man, who through sin causes so much woe and pain in the world, is now enabled and empowered to bring healing and share in God’s redemptive work. Fallen man, in a way, is rehabilitated in the congregation. He can live as a new creation.

      So God doesn’t need the congregation, but we need the congregation, and that is exactly why she was given to us as a means to salvation!

      Hi Alter, welcome to JWTalk!
      It’s nice to have you here. I see you’re from the Lake Chapala area—beautiful place, and I imagine the scenery and weather don’t disappoint.
      You’ll find this is a friendly, encouraging forum. Many enjoy browsing the ongoing discussions or spending some quiet time in the photo gallery when they feel like reading rather than posting.
      One small note that may help: since the forum works in English, most brothers use translation software when posting. That usually makes things smoother and helps everyone follow along easily.
      Thanks for joining us, and we’re glad you’re here. Looking forward to getting to know you and seeing what you’d like to share.
