Nice paradise picture

Some really great articles that all say the same thing in language that's never been so powerful, probably because of how simple it is: Jehovah is eager to reward his faithful ones who have loved, endured, hoped, obeyed, and had complete trust in him (and therefore in his Organization). This Watchtower is a treat. It prepares.

FIve study articles. That's all. But as @Dolce vita affirms, they're extra-good ones!

[Sweet Tooth]

Wonderful WT Articles as always.

I finally got around to listening to the articles and something in the second article "Trust in the Sovereign Ruler of the Universe" (about Job) confused me:

Satan was powerless to go beyond that mandate, so he had no choice but to operate within those limits. And that is still the case today.

 

Obviously this can't mean Satan isn't allowed to kill us, right? Since we die all the time. Is it just saying there are unknown limits placed on him?

The 2015 Watchtower commented on this.

 

*** w15 5/15 p. 10 par. 6 Be Watchful—Satan Wants to Devour You! ***
Satan uses his power for evil. And what power and influence he has! The Scriptures refer to him as “the ruler of this world” and “the god of this system of things.” (John 12:31; 2 Cor. 4:4) Satan the Devil even has “the means to cause death.” (Heb. 2:14) This does not mean that he kills all people directly. However, his murderous spirit has permeated this world. Moreover, because Eve believed Satan’s lie and Adam disobeyed God, sin and death spread to all mankind. (Rom. 5:12) In that sense, the Devil has had “the means to cause death.” He is what Jesus called him—“a murderer.” (John 8:44) What a powerful enemy we have in Satan!

We could list other restraints.  Satan and his demons can't materialize human bodies.  They can't have sex relations and bring about Nephilim.  They can't enter heaven amongst the other angels.  They can't foresee the future (other than explained by God). They have great power but they can't prevent or deflect God's purpose from occurring on time and in place.  They can't force you to stop serving Jehovah.

I think it means that Satan has the power to wipe out every single servant of Jehovah, but Jehovah does not allow Satan to destroy his people as a whole, though he can kill some of us individually like he did with Stephen and many other martyrs

human servants, but I don't think it would serve his interests. Demonstrating Jehovah is wrong is his goal. Killing his servants instead of making them sin is basically making Jehovah's servant win, being safe in Jehovah's memory.

Agree, why would he send us somewhere (Paradise) to be free from his influence? This is the only time he has to break us before the Final Test, which will be relatively brief.
