The myth that people are paid what they’re “worth”
Friends, Don’t be fooled by the myth that people are paid what they’re “worth” — that the rich deserve their ever-increasing incomes and wealth because they’re worth far more to the economy now than years ago (when the incomes and wealth of those at the top were more modest relative to everyone else’s). The […]

A multi-front war between Israel and her surrounding, nearby enemies
The Israeli military has established a new mountaineer unit tasked with carrying out operations across the country’s hostile borders with Lebanon and Syria amid worsening tensions over the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip. “We are in a multi-front war—Lebanon, Syria, Judea and Samaria, and Gaza, and also farther away,” IDF Chief of the General […]
US strikes Houthi missiles in Yemen and Iran-backed militia in Iraq
The Times, January 24, 2024 Event Two cargo ships sailing close to the Gulf of Aden came under attack by Yemen’s Houthi rebels on Wednesday night, the White House said — forcing the US navy to intervene as the Iran-backed militia intensified its maritime assault on commercial shipping.

Are we witnessing the opening salvos of World War 3?
The Independent, January 19, 2024 Event It is hard to escape the impression of a theatre of military conflict that is inexorably growing – to the east and the south, if not yet to the north and the west. And if you look backwards, rather than forwards, the Hamas massacres of Israelis on 7 October, and Israel’s all-out […]
Russia, Turkey, Iran Condemn Attack on Yemeni Houthis
VOA, January 12, 2024 Event Thursday’s retaliatory attacks by U.S. and British forces on Iranian-backed Houthis inside Yemen have prompted support and condemnation from the international community.

Relation between true self-knowledge and knowledge of the world
One can never reach true self-knowledge without having come to a knowledge of the world. We cannot come to a knowledge of the world without self-knowledge. Neither can we attain self-knowledge without a knowledge of the world. It is like the beating of a pendulum which must swing back and forth. […]

Königreichwochenende – März 2024
Wie kann man sich das Reich Gottes hier auf Erden vorstellen? Das ist die Frage, die einige von uns am letzten Märzwochenende zu beantworten versuchten – nach persönlichen Einladungen und guter Vorbereitung! Wie kann man es sich vorstellen? Man kann sich Vorträge anhören und mit Brüdern und Schwestern darüber diskutieren. Du kannst Ideen für eine […]
Jugend und Tanztreff – März 2024
Im März veranstaltete der Jugendtreff einen Tanztreff, welcher von Rebecca, Günter und Gisela organisiert wurde. Wir hatten viel Spaß mit Günter und Gisela (den Profis), die uns den ganzen Tag über verschiedene Tänze zeigten. Als erstes tanzten wir den Boogie Woogie, bei dem wir versuchten, die Schritte von den Profis zu lernen. Obwohl es einige […]
Nach 100 Jahren hier auf der Erde endete sein Lauf
Seit Corona mussten wir in unserer brüderlichen Gemeinschaft einige Brüder und Schwestern mehrfach verabschieden. Auffällig war, dass es einige tapfere Älteste gab, die sogar zwei Weltkriege überlebten. Es passiert nicht so viel, dass jemand die Marke von hundert überschritten hat. Doch im Januar war es so weit, dass wenige Monate nach seinem hundertsten Geburtstag auch […]
Na 100 jaar hier op aarde zijn loop beëindigd
Sinds Corona hebben we in onze broedergemeenschap al meermaals afscheid van enkele broeders en zusters moeten nemen. Opvallend daarbij was dat er enkele kranige ouderlingen bij waren die zelfs twee wereldoorlogen overleefd hebben. Het gebeurd daarbij niet zo veel dat er iemand de kaap van de honderd overtroffen heeft. Maar in januari was het zo […]

De komst van Elia #3 Komt Elia vóór de wederkomst?
Velen zaten met de vraag: Wie zou er eerst komen: Elia of de Messias; en was Johannes de doper misschien de teruggekeerde Elia?
De komst van Elia #2 De dag des Heren en Johannes de doper
Vervolg van De komst van Elia #1 de Gezonden profeet Elia De dag des Heren Elia zou komen “voordat de grote en geduchte dag van God komt”. De uitdrukking “de dag des HEREN” betekent een tijd wanneer Jehovah Zich in de wereld zal manifesteren, gewoonlijk met oordeel. Zij is dus niet van toepassing alleen op […]
De komst van Elia #1 de Gezonden profeet Elia
Elia wiens naam betekent ‘voor wie Jehovah God is’. In het Grieks en het Nieuwe Testament is de naam Elias. Hij was de grote profeet die door wonderen en tekenen geweldig ijverde voor de zaak van zijn Heer Jehovah Die hij aanzag als de Enige Ware God. Hij vertrouwde op de verhoring van zijn gebed en is een van de meest merkwaardige personen uit het Oude Testament.
Nieuwe hemelen en een nieuwe aarde
“Want zie, Ik schep een nieuwe hemel en een nieuwe aarde; aan wat vroeger was, zal niet gedacht worden. ” De eerste keer dat wij de uitdrukking “nieuwe hemelen en een nieuwe aarde” in het Nieuwe Testament tegenkomen is in de tweede brief van de apostel Petrus, waar hij waarschuwt voor het vergaan van “de […]

Gemeenschappen hebben ruimtes nodig om te vertoeven. Als men gezinsleden heeft gaan die uitbreiden en zijn meerdere huizen nodig.

Getting more people going to follow the real Messiah
What change, big or small, would you like your blog to make in the world? Looking at the world, being sad, noticing that so many people are misled by big institutions that claim to be the only right church, whilst they do not follow at all the Bible teachings, nor Christ his teachings and do […]
Foretold Messiah 5 Old Testament pointing to John the Baptist and to Immanuel, Jeshua the Christ
Bible prophecies do not deal only with the ancient past. They also accurately foretell events that are taking place in our day. But at the moment we focus at numerous prophecies preserved in the Hebrew Scriptures (commonly called the Old Testament) which long before the man was born told about events which would happen in his time and around him, his betrayal, humiliation, torture, execution, death, and burial. From those writings of the Old and New Testament nobody should have doubts who that man is who is called Immanuel, the son of man and Messiah, born out of the root of Jess in the tribe of king David.
Foretold Messiah 4 From the seed of Noah and Abraham
In Scripture, all things are directed towards a man who was a servant of servants, in whom people should come to have faith. First we saw the connection with Eve and her seed, and in this article you may see the connection with Abraham.
Foretold Messiah 3 Bruised one to be taken into heaven as a servant and son of God
Already in the Old Testament we find the focus on a son of man who is called the son of God, who shall be the most pure set apart (holy) servant of God who was been told about in the Garden of Eden, to be the one bruised.
Foretold Messiah 2 a Voice giving The Word to His servants
Many Old Testament writers wrote about the prophet to come, about whom is spoke in the book of Moses and who shall be the special “Seed of a woman” given by God and who will bruise Satan’s head whilst his heel would be bruised with nails on the wooden stake.

Uncovering wrong sayings and unbiblical teachings
What change, big or small, would you like your blog to make in the world? In Christendom there are lots of denominations but oh such a few, keep really to the biblical teachings. A lot of churches claim they are the only right church. In case they would follow all the teachings of Christ Jesus, […]
Those grafted in again
The apostle Paul wrote about the dispersion, the dispersed House of Israel. They had been “without covenant“, but Paul was sent out to recover them. So they were “grafted in again“ (Romans 11/23). Or, Grafted back in“. If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been […]
Cart ministry is back
Rob Mac wonders when the door to door will return? He wrote this a while back, and went sharing it again. Many Jehovah’s Witnesses hate the door to door ministry, although they won’t readily admit it. Many Jehovah’s Witnesses have developed ‘creative’ ways of counting their time doing this work, and many strategies for avoiding actually […]
Religion and believers #14 Church and state
Constantine wanted unity in his realm, and his call in 325 C.E. for a council of his bishops at Nicaea, located in the Eastern, Greek-speaking domain of his empire, across the Bosporus from the new city of Constantinople was in a certain way his goal to achieve some agreement by which many could live. Constantine […]
Religion and believers #13 Superstition, misunderstanding and hatred leading up to the Nicene Creed
Superstition, misunderstanding and hatred caused the Christians trouble for many generations, and governmental repression they had to suffer occasionally, as a result of popular disturbances. No systematic effort was made by the imperial authorities to put an end to the movement until the reign of the Roman emperor (249–251) who fought the Gothic invasion of […]
