Wednesday, July 14

These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.—Rev. 7:14.

 

Since 1935, Jehovah’s Witnesses have understood that the great crowd of John’s vision is made up of a group of faithful Christians who have the prospect of living forever on earth. (Rev. 7:9, 10) In order to survive the great tribulation, the great crowd would have to be educated in Jehovah’s ways before the Millennium begins. They would need to show strong faith in order to “succeed in escaping all these things that must occur” before Christ’s Thousand Year Reign. (Luke 21:34-36) Those of the great crowd rejoice in their hope. They understand that Jehovah determines where his faithful worshippers will serve him, whether in heaven or on earth. Both the anointed and the great crowd recognize that their reward is possible only because of Jehovah’s undeserved kindness as expressed through the ransom sacrifice of Jesus Christ.—Rom. 3:24. w19.09 28 ¶10; 29 ¶12-13

So perfect for the time we are living in with the GT right in front of us , our convention showing us the importance of maintaining our faith and the power that will give us to endure , and the reward ahead .

When compared to the rest of all creation, we are certainly blessed beyond compare. To be taught the best way to live and get along with one another in love is not accepted by everyone in the world. Not everyone wants to do things Jehovah's way.  Life in Jehovah's kingdom under his guidance and rule will no doubt cause us to shout for joy and praise Jehovah like never before.
