<span style="font-size: large;">In our Theocratic Ministry School, I was assigned this topic to present: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Learn Humility and Avoid Disaster</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As we progress in our knowledge of the Bible it is important to also cultivate Christian qualities.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The quality of humility is very important. Humility will help us avoid disaster. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">How? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Let's turn to the Bible book of Daniel, chapter 5 for an example. This is the account of Belshazzar, the King of Babylon. At this time Babylon is under siege. The Medes and Persians are a real threat. However, Belshazzar is not preparing for battle, he feels secure that no army can penetrate the great walls surrounding his great city. Babylon is full of necessities so he is not concerned with shortages. In fact, he is actually hosting a grand party. As the night goes on, Belshazzar calls for the cups be brought from Jehovah's temple so they can drink out of them. Then, a hand appears and writes a message on the wall. This terrifies the king. No one understands the message, so the prophet Daniel is called. </span><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">(Daniel 5:1-16)</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Daniel reminds Belshazzar that it was Jehovah, the Most High God, that made his grandfather, Nebuchadnezzar great. When Nebuchadnezzar became haughty, Jehovah corrected him. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">(Daniel 5:18-21)</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>"But when his (Nebuchadnezzar) heart became haughty and his spirit became hardened, so that he acted presumptuously, he was brought down from the throne of his kingdom, and his dignity was taken away from mankind, and his heart was made like that of a beast, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. He was given vegetation to eat just like bulls, and his body became wet with the dew of the heavens, until he came to know that the Most High God is Ruler in the kingdom of mankind and that he sets up over it whomever he wants."</i> -Daniel 5:20</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Remember, Nebuchadnezzar was the ruler of the world empire at that time, even over God's people Israel. But Nebuchadnezzar took all the glory to himself and did not recognize Jehovah the Most High. Jehovah disciplined him, by taking away his kingdom and his sanity, so he would be forced to recognize Jehovah's superior position. <b>(Daniel 4:30-37)</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Daniel 5, at the end of verse 21 it says, <b><i>"..he (Nebuchadnezzar) came to know that the Most High God is Ruler in the kingdom of mankind and that he sets up over it whomever he wants."</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>"But you, his son Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, although you knew all this. Instead, you exalted yourself against the Lord of the heavens, and you had them bring you the vessels of his house. Then you and your nobles, your concubines and your secondary wives drank wine from them and praised the gods of silver and gold, of copper, iron, wood, and stone, gods that see nothing and hear nothing and know nothing. But you have not glorified the God in whose hand is your breath and all your ways."</i> -Daniel 5:22, 23</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What do you think? Did Belshazzar have opportunity to learn humility? Yes! As verse 22 states Belshazzar was aware of Nebuchadnezzar's experience. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Belshazzar failed to learn humility from history. Rather than humbling himself before Jehovah, he proudly, arrogantly called for the sacred vessels from Jehovah's temple, so he and his guests could drink wine out of them, all the while praising the lifeless gods of Babylon. This was a deliberate act of contempt for the God of Israel. Belshazzar was headed for disaster! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>"That very night Belshazzar the Chaldean king was killed. And Darius the Mede received the kingdom..."</b></i><b> -Daniel 5:30, 31</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Today people make gods of lifeless things: money, career, prestige, pleasures. None of these things can give life. Jehovah alone is who we owe our existence to, and who we depend for every breath we take. What have you learned from this Bible account regarding humility?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">One thing I have learned is that we need to put Jehovah and his righteous interests before our own interests. We can meditate on our relationship with Jehovah, humbly submitting to his right to guide us in the right way. By applying Jehovah's principles first in our lives as we make our decisions, we will avoid disaster and in fact receive many blessings.</span><br />
<br />
<b><i><span style="font-size: large;">"Trust in Jehovah with all your heart,</span></i></b><br />
<b><i><span style="font-size: large;">and do not rely on your own understanding.</span></i></b><br />
<b><i><span style="font-size: large;">In all your ways take notice of him,</span></i></b><br />
<b><i><span style="font-size: large;">and he will make your paths straight."</span></i></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">-Proverbs 3:5, 6</span></b></div>

frozen banana, frozen berries and a little lemon balm. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out...</i>"</b></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">God's original purpose for the earth is brought out in Genesis:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>"And God went on to create the man in his image, in God's image he created him; male and female he created them. Further, God blessed them, and God said to them; 'Be fruitful, and become many, fill the earth and subdue it, and have in subjection the fish of the sea and flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving on the earth.'"</b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b> ...After that God saw</b></i><b><i> everything he had made, and look! It was very good"</i> </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b> -Genesis 1 ;27, 28, 31</b></span><br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What a grand assignment Adam and Eve were given, to extend the Garden of Eden, along with their perfect offspring, until the whole earth was a paradise, with all unitedly serving their Grand Creator! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">God's word clearly tells us why the conditions on earth are not according to God's will and purpose.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And by what means God will use to bring everything back in harmony with that purpose. </span><br />
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>"That is why, just as through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because they had all sinned-, ...</b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>So, then, as through one trespass the result to men of all sorts was condemnation, so too through one act of justification the result to men of all sorts is their being declared righteous for life.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>To what end? So that just as sin ruled as king with death, so also undeserved kindness might rule as king through righteousness leading to everlasting life through Jesus Christ our Lord."</b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b> -Romans 5:12, 18, 19, 21</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">By means of the sacrifice of Christ Jesus we have hope for everlasting life. By means of a global teaching work, God's Kingdom is already uniting a great crowd of people from all nations. Millions are becoming obedient subjects of Jesus. Yes, God's Kingdom will protect them when this wicked system is destroyed. This Kingdom will accomplish God's original purpose for mankind. The earth will become new, a global paradise. And we will welcome back all those who have died. I am looking forward to the fulfillment of this promise:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b><span style="font-size: large;">"...Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them.

(John and Melinda)</div>
<br /><div style="text-align: center;">
So many years of working together, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
seeing each other through good times and bad times.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Births, Deaths, Illnesses, Vacations, Marriages, Divorces.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, we spent alot of our lives together.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we went to work, we worked hard, but it was not sterile, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
corporate work. It was like a family helping one another, with a common goal.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, we have experienced emotional feelings that have nothing to do with a loss of job,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but rather a loss of the opportunity of seeing each other everyday.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel it was a real privilege to work with all these people. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And thank all those, who attended our dinner.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What a wonderful nearly 20 years of RAM Home Warranty.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All possible because of these two,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
John and Melinda</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Very hard working and caring bosses.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Now What? WE SHALL SEE!</div>

What are your thoughts about the last Passover meal Jesus celebrated with his apostles?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Sometimes, we forget that Jesus, being Jewish kept the Law of Moses perfectly, including the celebration of the Passover. -<b>Mark 14:12-16</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Why was the Passover Celebration so important to the Hebrew people?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
No doubt, Jesus and his apostles, like all the people who observed the Law given to Moses</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
were thinking about how God delivered them from slavery in Egypt.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Their minds were focused on how Jehovah proved to be more powerful than all the gods of Egypt.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Each of the 10 plagues were a direct hit on a false god. When God was about to bring the final plague upon Egypt, He gave specific directions for his people to follow.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><i> "... take a sound sheep, one year old, male. They were to take care of it from the beginning of the month until the 14th day, then the whole assembly of Israel were to slaughter the sheep at twilight. They must take some of the blood and splash it on the two doorposts and the upper part of the doorway of the houses in which they eat it. </i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><i> They must eat the meat on this night. They should roast it over the fire and eat it along with unleavened bread and bitter greens...you must not save any until morning, but any of it left over until morning you should burn with fire. And this is how you should eat it, with your belt fastened, sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you should eat it in a hurry. It is Jehovah's Passover. Jehovah will pass through the land of Egypt on this night and strike every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from man to beast; and I will execute judgement on all the gods of Egypt. I am Jehovah. The blood will serve as your sign on the houses where you are; and I will see the blood and pass over you, and the plague will not come on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><i> This day will serve as a memorial for you, and you must celebrate it as a festival to Jehovah throughout your generations. As a lasting statute, you should celebrate it."</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>-Exodus 12:5-14, 24-27, 31</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Jesus and his apostles were reflecting on Jehovah's saving power. What Jesus does next is of great importance to us today. After, Judas Iscariot is dismissed, Jesus picks up one of the left over loaves of unleavened bread, prays over it, breaks it and passes it to his disciples saying:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i> <b> "...This means my body, which is to be given in your behalf. Keep doing this in remembrance of me. Also, he did the same with the cup after they had the evening meal, saying: "This cup means the new covenant by virtue of my blood which is to be poured out in your behalf."</b></i><br />
<i><b> </b></i><b>-Luke 22:19, 20</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
No longer would Jesus disciples celebrate the Passover. Jesus instituted the "Lord's Evening Meal". Once a year, Jesus disciples would gather for this "meal" of unleavened bread and red wine to remember that Jesus and his Father, Jehovah God freed us from slavery to sin and death.<br />
(Matthew 5:17)<br />
<br />
We can show our appreciation for this provision of the ransom sacrifice of Jesus, by attending the Memorial of Jesus death. This year Jehovah's Witnesses will gather along with many others all around the world on Monday, April 14th, 2014, at sundown. This special meeting will have a brief talk explaining why Jesus death is so important. You are invited to attend this meeting in your area, to find the place and time please visit this website: <a href="http://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/memorial/">here</a><br />
<br />
Additional scriptures for meditation on Jesus sacrificial death:<br />
1 Corinthians 5:7; Ephesians 1:7; 1 Timothy 2:5, 6; and 1 Peter 1:18, 19.</div>
