2022 Year Text Nominations...

[Tortuga]

This is a 2022 Year Text guesses and wish list.

 

I think this would be a good year text.

What about that one scripture you once said that you always wish to be a year text every year?

Here are the previous years of year text that I was able to find. Missing 1908 and 1912 from the list.

Okay, before we get off track discussing the previous year texts, this thread is to guess next year's text.

[Hinata]

My first guess/wish for the 2022 year text:

 

(Psalm 34:18) 18 Jehovah is close to the brokenhearted;
He saves those who are crushed in spirit.

Isaiah 26:20

Go, my people, enter into your interior rooms, and shut your doors behind you.

Well, here's to hoping.

Yeah, my point was no text was ever repeated except for 1935 and 1936. More of a reference check.

 

So my 2022 guess is 1 Tim 3:1 (But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here)

Yeah, I was thinking you posted that so we wouldn’t guess a text that had already been used.

Actually, texts can be reused — The year text for 2020 and 1970 are nearly identical. Matthew 28:19. The year text for 2013 and 1914 was also nearly identical, too.

 

Surely, a year text from recent years would not be repeated, but from the past year, it can be reused. So we don’t know if the year text for 2022 will also be a reuse from the past year, too.

"Keep on the watch, therefore, because you do not know on what day your Lord is coming" - Matt 24:42

I have guessed 3 scriptures. Just 31,099 more guesses and I'm sure I'll be right!

[Dages]

Ezek 38:23 : They will have to know that I am Jehovah

 

 

Rev 22:20 : “Amen! Come, Lord Jesus.”

 

 

 

2 Peter 3:13 : There are new heavens and a new earth that we are awaiting

 

Here is my top3 for next year

As the world returns to normal after the pandemic, we want to make sure we don't get sucked into normalcy, and lose our sense of urgency.  So a scripture like "Keep on the Watch" would be a good and timely reminder throughout the year.

Right.  But it was cool to see the first year that Jehovah's name was included was 1932.  Big things were happening back then!
