2020 Apr 01-Apr 02 Proverbs 10, Psalm 119 Review 6, weekly CTC
Hello, with a warm welcome, wishing you safety and selflessness toward others in this difficult time. Let's continue in Proverbs 10, with verses 22-27, then consider Review 6 in Psalm 119 for stanzas 20-22, and lastly reconsider the weekly CTC Corner, if desired. You may choose tomorrow to consider Review 7 of the First half of Psalm 119, searching "Feb 12," before Friday's Review 8, of the Second half.
"22 It is the blessing of
Jehovah that makes one rich, And He adds no pain with it. 23 Engaging in
shameful conduct is like a game to the stupid one, But wisdom is for
the man of discernment. 24 What the wicked one fears will come upon him;
But the desire of the righteous will be granted. 25 When the storm
passes by, the wicked one will be no more, But the righteous one is a
foundation forever. 26 Like vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes,
So the lazy person is to the one who sends him. 27 The fear of Jehovah
prolongs life, But the years of the wicked will be cut short."
Prove 10:22 One of the more familiar verses to many, it states a marvelous principle, that primarily spiritual wealth comes from having God's blessing on our activity, by seeking His guidance and way of living. Living in accord with His righteousness, seeking His honor and glory, brings His smile of approval and favor, and He blesses us as He did Job and other faithful ones of Bible record. How we need God's blessing to be truly successful, in harmony with godly wisdom moved by love! Psalm 127:1 says "Unless Jehovah builds the house, It is in vain that its builders work hard on it. Unless Jehovah guards the city, It is in vain that the guard stays awake." May we also give Jehovah the rightful praise for His blessing and benefits. Two verses, from the King James Version (KJV) perhaps sum this up: Revelation 4:11, referring to, as in verse 8, the "Lord God Almighty," says this: "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created." And Psalm 83:18 says: "That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth." We might also notice that with God's blessing, "He adds no pain with it." Jehovah desires our happiness and prosperity, He is in no way eager to bring harm or punishment. He only wants to lovingly correct us when necessary, and reward us for loving Him and doing right.

"23 Engaging in
shameful conduct is like a game to the stupid one, But wisdom is for
the man of discernment."
Prove 10:23 The "stupid" one scripturally is not necessarily unintelligent, but while usually knowing the right thing, often chooses to ignore it. He is not understanding the big picture, and all the many reasons God gives us His good guidance in the first place. He is also not using "discernment" to distinguish right from wrong, good from bad, truth from falsehood, wise from unwise, and more serious matters of law from lesser matters, though still required. Thus, "the stupid ones glorify dishonor," not concerned about a fine reputation with God, and they "hate to turn away from bad," in contrast to one with a healthy respect for God, which involves the "hating of bad." (Prove 8:13). God's word helps us learn the consequences of both good and bad decisions and actions, that we may ponder such, to come to hate what is bad in fearing to displease God, or hurt Him in any way.
"24 What the wicked one fears will come upon him;
But the desire of the righteous will be granted. 25 When the storm
passes by, the wicked one will be no more, But the righteous one is a
foundation forever."
Prove 10:24-25 The "wicked" usually know that they are doing wrong, and thus deep down fear having to answer for their wrong conduct, whereas the righteous have no such worries--they look forward to God's favor and rewards for doing right before Him. If only such evil ones would repent of their wrongdoing, and "search for Jehovah while He may be found," calling to Him "while He proves to be near." (Isaiah 55:6,7). Thus truly turning around from their badness can bring "seasons of refreshing...from Jehovah himself." (Acts 3:19). The "wages sin pays is death, but the gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord." Having faith in the ransom sacrifice of Jesus, and hating wrong conduct, ones may no longer "fear any sudden terror Nor the storm that is coming on the wicked." (Prove 3:25). That storm comes so that true peace may be able to flourish earth-wide, without it being ruined by troublemakers. Right-hearted mankind will form the foundation of eternal peace on this planet, and whatever other blessings God may have in store for obedient ones.
"26 Like vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes,
So the lazy person is to the one who sends him."
Prove 10:26 The lazy one often becomes such by being praised for knowledge gained, rather than for efforts made to use that knowledge for the benefit of others, to "work at good", or to "work what is good toward all, but especially toward those related to us in the faith." (1Timo 6:18; Galat 6:10). By praising youths for their efforts and accomplishments, we may help them become "diligent", leading to success and satisfaction. (Prove 21:5; 13:4).
"27 The fear of Jehovah
prolongs life, But the years of the wicked will be cut short."
Prove 10:27 May we cultivate the healthy dread of displeasing God, of hurting Him in any way. This fear is not morbid, as may be imagined by those believing that God would allow his beloved human creation to be tormented in punishment. When Israel fell to false worship, and began hurting their own children, Jehovah says of the practice: "which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart." (Jerem 7:31). See the article "Finding Truth" for further discussion of God's just punishment for evildoers. Rather, we fear God by hating what He says is bad, understanding the harmful consequences of wrongdoing, including its associated heartache, heartbreak, troubles, turmoil, grief, sadness, pain, and so on, especially of serious sins. May we rejoice to do good, pleasing God, and bringing His smile of approval, favor, and rewards, including eternal life in true peace and happiness! (Prove 27:11; James 1:12).

PSALM 119 REVIEW 6 STANZAS 20-22
STANZA 20
, Verses 153-160 THEME:
GOD CAN RESCUE RIGHTEOUS, DISTANT FROM TREACHEROUS WICKED, BUT GREAT IN MERCY.
This group of 8 verses contrasts the righteous from the wicked, those not deviating from God's reminders from those who do not keep God's saying. Yet, God's mercy is great. May we come to love God's orders.
Stanza 20:
153 Look on my affliction and rescue me, For I have not forgotten your law.
154 Defend me and rescue me; Preserve me alive in harmony with your promise.
155 Salvation is far away from the wicked, For they have not searched for your [instructions].
156 Your mercy is great, O Jehovah. Preserve me alive in harmony with your justice.
157 My persecutors and my adversaries are many; But I have not deviated from your reminders.
158 I look on the treacherous with loathing, Because they do not keep your saying.
159 See how I love your orders! O Jehovah, preserve me alive because of your loyal love.
160 The very essence of your word is truth, And all your righteous judgments endure forever.
154 Defend me and rescue me; Preserve me alive in harmony with your promise.
JESUS SAVED FROM REPROACH. Besides seeking to be rescued from wrongdoers, the psalmist also requests that Jehovah defend, or protect him from harm—either physical or spiritual harm or abuse. As mentioned in the preview comment, some wrongdoers are “not afraid to speak abusively of glorious ones.” They may slander without hesitation, either not caring or somewhat aware of the hurtful effects of such speech. Of course, many of those fearing God may see through such lies, distorted truths, or unseemly truths shared to bring one into disrepute. The psalmist’s plea to be “preserved alive” includes, then, not mere physical life, but being alive spiritually, saved with a good reputation, at least among many God-fearing ones. Those who have been so harmed should take heart! Why did God allow Jesus to suffer as a terrible criminal? God kindly restored his name and gave him “the name that is above every other name.” Thus, in the end, God can save or restore the reputation of those putting faith, or complete trust, in Him!
155 Salvation is far away from the wicked, For they have not searched for your [instructions].
GOD'S INSTRUCTIONS FOR SALVATION. Thus, to receive salvation from God, we need to be receiving God’s instructions and earnestly seeking to live by them. We should want to know how we should live in harmony with God’s will, searching for His instructions in pure living before Him. His word provides the guidance we need, and we should aim to be thoroughly familiar with it, over time. The wicked, or practicers of evil, are not interested in such a search, wanting to please only themselves—thus salvation remains “far away” from them, unless they whole-heartedly repent, desiring to turn around from their evil conduct, and find true happiness supporting God’s right and loving ways. Until they do, God is not close to such arrogantly evil ones, as expressed in Psalm 138:6, “ 6 Though Jehovah is high, he takes note of the humble, But the haughty he knows only from a distance.”
156 Your mercy is great, O Jehovah. Preserve me alive in harmony with your justice.
JEHOVAH'S PATIENCE AND MERCY GREAT. Yes, God’s mercy is great, as Isaiah 55:6-7 makes appeal to all practicers of evil: “6 Search for Jehovah while he may be found. Call to him while he is near. 7 Let the wicked man leave his way And the evil man his thoughts; Let him return to Jehovah, who will have mercy on him, To our God, for he will forgive in a large way.” And Psalm 86:5 says of God: “ 5 For you, O Jehovah, are good and ready to forgive; You abound in loyal love for all those who call on you.” May God’s word the Bible not be considered too much or hard to understand for those desiring to do right before Him. Starting with the Ten Commandments of Exodus 20, and the first 10 chapters of Proverbs, written like a letter from a loving father to his son, with encouraging counsel, may all who will, come to appreciate God’s word as a precious gift from God for seeking to do right before Him, to please Him and learn true love for mankind in harmony with God’s justice and loving purpose of a Paradise home planet Earth and a truly peaceful Universe within which to dwell.
158 I look on the treacherous with loathing, Because they do not keep your saying.
AVOID TREACHERY, REMAIN LOYAL. Such “treacherous” ones are disloyal, to God and other humans. In Malachi’s day, Jehovah roundly judged even the people of Judah, for dealing treacherously with Him, and the men for doing the same “with the wife of your youth.” At Malachi 2:13-14 Jehovah explains: “13 “And there is another thing that you do, which results in covering the altar of Jehovah with tears and with weeping and sighing, so that he no longer pays attention to your gift offering or looks favorably on anything from your hand. 14 And you say, ‘For what reason?’ It is because Jehovah has acted as a witness between you and the wife of your youth, with whom you have dealt treacherously, although she is your partner and your wife by covenant.” This situation was largely caused by their leaving Jehovah to serve other gods, engaging in the sin of idolatry, which causes spiritual blindness (Psalm 115). Therefore, they needed to humbly return to serve the true God, Jehovah, regaining their spiritual sight, return to “keep [God’s] saying” and with God’s spirit, have loyal love restored to their hearts and marriages. May we likewise avoid treacherous dealings, remaining loyal to Jehovah. Psalm 18:25 says of God: “25 With someone loyal you act in loyalty; With the blameless man you deal blamelessly.”
STANZA 21
, Verses 161-168 THEME:
NOTHING CAN STUMBLE THOSE LOVING GOD'S LAW, KEEPING HIS ORDERS AND REMINDERS--THEY OWN ABUNDANT PEACE.
This group of 8 verses build appreciation for God's law, with reasons to keep it, and some blessings for doing so.
Stanza 21:
161 Princes persecute me for no cause, But my heart stands in awe of your words.
162 I rejoice over your saying Like someone who finds great spoil.
163 I hate falsehood—I detest it—I love your law.
164 Seven times a day I praise you Because of your righteous judgments.
165 Abundant peace belongs to those who love your law; Nothing can make them stumble.
166 I hope for your acts of salvation, O Jehovah, And I observe your commandments.
167 I keep your reminders, And I love them dearly.
168 I observe your orders and your reminders, For you are aware of all that I do.
163 I hate falsehood—I detest it—I love your law.
HATE WHAT IS BAD. Clearly, the focus of this verse is not the person who may have spoken falsely, but on the falsehood itself—the act of lying or “stretching the truth,” as the saying goes. How much better to seek to maintain God’s view of people, aiming to hate the wrong itself, and still have love for imperfect humanity, many of whom wish to do right, and have a struggle against bad influences and imperfect tendencies. Psalm 97:10 says: “10 O you who love Jehovah, hate what is bad. He is guarding the lives of his loyal ones; He rescues them from the hand of the wicked.” As we cultivate a high regard for God, “fearing” Him, we come to hate what He hates, seeking to please Him fully. Proverbs 8:13 says: “13 The fear of Jehovah means the hating of bad. I hate self-exaltation and pride and the evil way and perverse speech.” May we learn what is bad in God’s eyes, that we may come to hate it as He does, gaining understanding of the big picture and it’s pieces, to see why God warns us against some badness, confident that He knows what is truly best for us, and warns us to protect us and others from some physical or spiritual harm. Also, we need discernment, to see the difference between true and false, good and bad, right and wrong, and so on. We may humbly appeal to Jehovah for the ability to grasp these qualities, that our godly wisdom may grow, along with our relationship with God.
164 Seven times a day I praise you Because of your righteous judgments.
JEHOVAH NEVER UNJUST. Truly, Jehovah is worthy of our praise. His judgments, or evaluations and decisions are in harmony with truth and what is right, fair, and just. Deep down, do we not desire the Judge of all the earth to be so worthy of His authority, by upholding such virtues? Abraham expected this of Jehovah, as expressed at Genesis 18:25, “Will the Judge of all the earth not do what is right?” Indeed, as young Elihu well knew and expressed, at Job 34:10-12: “10 So listen to me, you men of understanding: It is unthinkable for the true God to act wickedly, For the Almighty to do wrong! 11 For he will reward a man according to what he does And bring upon him the consequences of his ways. 12 For a certainty, God does not act wickedly; The Almighty does not pervert justice.” Still, He is not responsible for the evil actions of humans who ignore God’s own counsel and advice. It is as stated at Deuteronomy 32:4-5: “ 4 The Rock, perfect is his activity, For all his ways are justice. A God of faithfulness who is never unjust; Righteous and upright is he. 5 They are the ones who have acted corruptly. They are not his children, the defect is their own. They are a crooked and twisted generation!” May we seek to be genuine children of God, doing as a loving Father would have us do, promoting truth, peace, and true love among the human family, advancing God’s will and purpose for a happy future for all those willing to love Him and one another eternally!
165 Abundant peace belongs to those who love your law; Nothing can make them stumble.
THOSE OWNING ABUNDANT PEACE. Such lovers of God’s word and law find great delight in knowing and serving Jehovah, doing His will. His word and law instruct us in dealing with things that threaten true peace and happiness. Thus, the more we come to know and keep God’s law, the more we’re able to maintain the peace that only God and Christ can give. Much of this peace comes from God’s mighty holy spirit, which we can ask God for, seeking His help to cope with trials. Philippians 4:6-7 says: “6 Do not be anxious over anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus.” Another translation calls God’s peace that which “can never be completely understood.” (NIRV). Thus we must look to God and His Son for true peace. When about to leave his disciples, Jesus, after referring to the holy spirit, says “27 I leave you peace; I give you my peace. I do not give it to you the way that the world gives it. Do not let your hearts be troubled nor let them shrink out of fear.“ (John 14). Now Christ’s commands and instructions primarily make up God’s law that we delight to keep as true Christians. When wronged by others, we do not let it stop us from loving and obeying God. Rather, we “Turn away from what is bad and do what is good; [We] Seek peace and pursue it.“ (Psalm 34:14). May we appreciate the peace-loving counsel of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, for instance, found at Matthew 5-7, and other guidance God has provided to deal with practically any issue that may arise that threatens godly peace, looking forward to the time when all peaceable ones will be united to happily serve God forever! (Matth 5:9).
166 I hope for your acts of salvation, O Jehovah, And I observe your commandments.
FAITH IN RANSOM LEADING TO LIFE. Thus salvation by God is tied to obedience. We must not fall to the lie that the ransom of Christ no longer requires that we obey God, as though all sin is automatically forgiven. Paul said at Romans 3:31: “31 Do we, then, abolish law by means of our faith? Never may that happen! On the contrary, we establish law.” And at Romans 6:15-16 we read: “15 What follows? Are we to commit a sin because we are not under law but under undeserved kindness? Certainly not! 16 Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey, either of sin leading to death or of obedience leading to righteousness?” Thus, learning to observe God’s commandments leads us to God’s righteousness, keeping His way, gaining genuine integrity to God. As we learn to obey, and to do so with endurance through trials, we gain an even firmer hope of salvation, although still by God’s undeserved kindness, as no one can “earn” salvation. As we faithfully aim for obedience to God, the ransom of Christ may cover our misses, allowing ones to be “declared righteous due to faith.” Romans 3:24 says “24 and it is as a free gift that they are being declared righteous by his undeserved kindness through the release by the ransom paid by Christ Jesus.”
168 I observe your orders and your reminders, For you are aware of all that I do.
THOSE PLEASING GOD NOT ABANDONED. The psalmist underscores the importance of both God’s orders, or His most serious and urgent commands, as well as His reminders, which assist us in recalling God’s law so as to keep it wholeheartedly and completely. With God’s awareness of what we do, we are moved to please Him in all things, with high regard for Him, desiring never to hurt or fail Him, in godly fear. Jesus said, at John 8:29: “29 And the One who sent me is with me; he did not abandon me to myself, because I always do the things pleasing to him.” And Psalm 18:25 says: “25 With someone loyal you act in loyalty; With the blameless man you deal blamelessly.” May we treasure God’s loyal love expressed to us, as we remain loyal to Him, learning and keeping His orders and reminders, truly loving His law!
STANZA 22
, Verses 169-176 THEME:
JEHOVAH WORTHY OF PRAISE, GOD OF SALVATION FOR THOSE WILLING TO BE TAUGHT HIS LAW.
This group of 8 verses concludes the entire psalm in a stirring way, acknowledging God's desire to help and favor those fondly keeping His law. Some 10 requests are made of God, revealing reliance upon Him and appreciation for the personal attention He gives the psalmist, and all such loyal ones.
Stanza 22:
169 May my cry for help reach you, O Jehovah. According to your word, make me understand.
170 May my request for favor come before you. Save me, as you have promised.
171 May my lips overflow with praise, For you teach me your [instructions].
172 May my tongue sing about your saying, For all your commandments are righteous.
173 May your hand be ready to help me, Because I choose to obey your orders.
174 I long for your salvation, O Jehovah, And I am fond of your law.
175 Let me live so that I may praise you; May your judgments be my help.
176 I have strayed like a lost sheep. Search for your servant, For I have not forgotten your commandments.
170 May my request for favor come before you. Save me, as you have promised.
SEEK GOD'S FAVOR OFTEN IN PRAYER. Once again the psalmist references the privilege of prayer, communication with the Greater Personage in the Universe! He wants to be favored by God, as he seeks to keep God’s law and hold to His divine standards in life. He seeks to be saved, from his persecutors and adversaries, just as God had evidently promised him personally. God’s word itself makes similar promises to those determined to obey Him faithfully. For instance, regarding the endurance of trials we may undergo, 1Corinthians 10:13 says: “13 No temptation has come upon you except what is common to men. But God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear, but along with the temptation he will also make the way out so that you may be able to endure it.” Also, regarding God’s promises of eventual salvation, Psalm 37:9,11,29 say regarding such faithful ones: “9...those hoping in Jehovah will possess the earth...11...the meek will possess the earth, And they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace...29 The righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it.” Jehovah God is rightly determined to bring about a wonderful promised Paradise on this earth, in which mankind may dwell, all willing to learn God’s loving and peaceful ways, to love Him and others loyally, in harmony with God’s divine wisdom and standards.
171 May my lips overflow with praise, For you teach me your [instructions].
SEEK GOD'S HONOR FROM AN APPRECIATIVE HEART. Yes, Jehovah is worthy to receive our praise, or expressions of high regard and appreciation for Him, His divine standards, and His acts and provisions for our lasting welfare. The psalmist specifically mentions God’s teaching him His instructions, to live in harmony with divine wisdom. What a blessing to truly have an instruction manual for life, in God’s inspired Word, the Holy Bible. The divine record puts it this way, at 2Timothy 3:16-17, NIRV: “God has breathed life into all of Scripture. It is useful for teaching us what is true. It is useful for correcting our mistakes. It is useful for making our lives whole again. It is useful for training us to do what is right. By using Scripture, a man of God can be completely prepared to do every good thing.” Still, we must not take God’s word for granted. It is a gift from a loving God and Father, who wants to be close to each one of us personally. It is among the gifts referred to at James 1:17, where we read: “17 Every good gift and every perfect present is from above, coming down from the Father of the celestial lights, who does not vary or change like the shifting shadows.” James continues, at 4:7-8a, “7 Therefore, subject yourselves to God; but oppose the Devil, and he will flee from you. Draw close to God, and He will draw close to you.” It is God’s honor we should seek, far above our own. At John 7:18, Jesus says: “18 Whoever speaks of his own originality is seeking his own glory; but whoever seeks the glory of the one who sent him, this one is true and there is no unrighteousness in him.” May we come to be among those seeking God’s honor in all we do, focusing on God, apart from any self-centeredness. (1Cori 10:31).
172 May my tongue sing about your saying, For all your commandments are righteous.
JEHOVAH'S HOLY MOUNTAIN. The psalmist continues praising God’s word, or His saying, acknowledging the rightness of God’s commandments. He expresses desire to sing about God’s saying. God’s word itself says it is to endure eternally, as expressed at Isaiah 40:8: “8 The green grass dries up, The blossom withers, But the word of our God endures forever.” How happy we can be that the Creator of this universe and mankind, the “Judge of all the earth,” has given us reasonable laws and commands in harmony with His way of true love, peace, freedom, and happiness. Just as birdsong is a glory to the mighty works of God, so these works of God are deserving of our admiration and praise. Hills have often been associated with places of worship. Isaiah 2:3 foretells a restoration of true worship in these words: “3 And many peoples will go and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, To the house of the God of Jacob. He will instruct us about his ways, And we will walk in his paths.” For law will go out of Zion, And the word of Jehovah out of Jerusalem.” Rather than the ancient city, God’s word foretold a “New Jerusalem” composed of Christians anointed to rule with Christ in God’s Kingdom, situated upon a figurative “Mount Zion,” representing a holy “mountain” of Jehovah and the governance of true worship of modern times (Revel 21:1-4; 1Peter 2:6; Revel 14:1). May we ever appreciate the revealed will of Jehovah for true Christians, as He reminds us His righteous orders, commands, and instructions for all having faith, or deep trust, in Him and His Son, leading to a happy, eternal life for those forgiven, humbly seeking divine obedience—the way of eternity.
173 May your hand be ready to help me, Because I choose to obey your orders.
"OBEY GOD AS RULER" Titus 3:1 exhorts Christians to be “ready for every good work.” Thus, God Himself is likewise able to help His devoted loyal servants who need His assistance. May we, like the psalmist, choose to obey God’s orders, thus aiming for true loyalty to Jehovah. His orders are vital and/or urgent commands for true Christians to keep. We should consider them essential, even when threatened to abandon them. Under such circumstances, should we not respond as the early Christians, when threatened to stop speaking about Jesus: “29 In answer Peter and the other apostles said: “We must obey God as ruler rather than men. 30 The God of our forefathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed, hanging him on a stake. 31 God exalted this one as Chief Agent and Savior to his right hand, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins. 32 And we are witnesses of these matters, and so is the holy spirit, which God has given to those obeying him as ruler.” (Acts 5). Jehovah’s hand was “ready to help” them, so can we not count on the same today?

Jehovah’s hand was “ready to help” them, so can we not count on the same today?
THE VERY PURPOSE OF LIFE. Might the psalmist here have stumbled upon the very purpose of life—to praise the Creator, the true and living God, the God who “is love”—Jehovah? Who is more worthy of such honor, glory, or praise? While it is not wrong to desire a good name, or reputation, for ourselves, should not more honor and praise go to the One ultimately responsible for “every good gift and perfect present?” (James 1:17). By unselfishly seeking the glory of God in all we do, largely by our obeying Him, we place our trust in Him to safeguard our own name. Who better to look after our own reputation, than the “King of Eternity,” Jehovah God? May we not forget His wonderful works, and His righteous judgments. His evaluations and decisions truly may “help” us, as He makes them in harmony with what is true, right, just, and fair. They provide keen insight into God’s standards and ways, that we may know how to live and act accordingly. His judgments against wrongdoers of the past, for instance, stand “for a warning to us upon whom the ends of the systems of things have come.” (1Cori 10:11). May we come to hate what God hates, that we may judge rightly ourselves, acting in harmony with the will, or desire, of God. As we do so, we should realize regarding Jehovah: "16 You open your hand And satisfy the desire of every living thing." (Psalm 145:16). May we thus live to share in the accomplishing of God's marvelous will on this planet and awaiting the fulfillment of His purpose throughout His universe, to His glory and to the happiness of all His creation, heavenly and earthly, to His and our everlasting delight! (Revel 4:11).

COME TO CONSENSUS CORNER
LET GOD’S WILL “BE DONE, ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN” (NIV)
What is GOD’s purpose for the Earth? Who does it really belong to, and did HE give much care and attention to it while intending to destroy it soon afterward?
BIBLE DIVINELY INSPIRED. We’ve seen over a few weeks time abundant evidence of the divine authorship of the Holy Bible. Just as evidence abounds over the miraculous act of salvation of all Israel through the Red Sea, with Israel having been in slavery in Egypt, and yet by GOD’s mighty hand being led to the land promised to them and to their forefathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Israel). They became the caretakers of GOD’s written word, beginning with Moses, and ending with Jesus’ aged apostle John. Separating the books of psalms, there were thus total 70 books, recorded by some 40 men, over 1,600 years time. Such numbers have significance to GOD, and no human could have choreographed such a design. According to GOD’s own word, HE has not given away the earth to humans, rather possibly “lent" it to us, but rather, as Exodus 19:5 clearly states by GOD, KJV: “for all the earth is mine.” (Compare Psalm 50:7,10-11). Thus, we may peer into GOD’s inspired word to determine HIS loving will and purpose for this lovely planet and the precious people upon it. Let’s use the King James Version for the critical points of our consideration.
A FEW VERSES: Let’s take a few clear statements made in GOD’s word, that enlighten us as to HIS intentions regarding this planet. What of the very opening words of the Bible: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Thus the indication is that the earth was no temporary fly-by-night thrown-together creation of GOD. It has been here from “the beginning!” While GOD’s word speaks of the earth’s “pedestals” and it’s “cornerstone,” this is GOD using figurative speech to describe the work HE did in creating it. Job 26:7, in fact, declares: “He stretches out the northern sky over empty space, suspending the earth upon nothing.” GOD asked Job: “Where were you when I founded the earth? Tell me, if you think you understand. Who set its measurements, in case you know, Or who stretched a measuring line across it? Into what were its pedestals sunk, Or who laid its cornerstone, When the morning stars joyfully cried out together, And all the sons of God began shouting in applause?” (Job 38:4-7). Thus, did GOD create the earth to be destroyed or to be inhabited? Isaiah 45:18, KJV, says this: “For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.” But for how long? Ecclesiastes 1:4 says this, KJV: “One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.”
FIGURATIVE DESTRUCTION. But if that verse is true that the earth is to last “for ever,” then does that mean people must continue to be born and die in a cycle of life and death endlessly? This is life as we know it under the current governmental framework. But is that GOD’s loving will and purpose for humans? There is a happy end to the cycle! But first, what of mention of the “heavens” passing away and it’s elements “melt” and “the earth...burned up” and “all these things...dissolved?” (2Peter 3:10-11). For all of GOD’s word to be true, this must carry a different meaning, a figurative one. We need only look two verses later for hope: “Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.” Is it reasonable that GOD will destroy this entire universe and planet Earth, creating a new physical universe, to make this one scripture come true literally? Or, what of GOD’s use of the term “heavens” in the Bible to refer to government, and the term “earth” to earthly society or it’s seemingly stable political framework? (Isaiah 1:2; Revelation 12:15-17)
A FEW MORE: Revelation 21:1-5, KJV mentions this “new heaven and a new earth” and says “and there was no more sea.” Is this literal—will the oceans be removed from planet Earth, or does Isaiah 57:20-21 show the figurative meaning of the sea, that there will eventually be no more wickedness among earth’s inhabitants? This verse reads: “But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.” Thus, GOD will step in to arrange HIS own rulership, welcoming mankind into a new society, a peaceful, righteous one, where true happiness may prevail! A few more scriptures reveal such intentions by GOD: Proverbs 2:20-22, KJV says: “That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous. For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it. But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.” Psalm 37:29, KJV says: “The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.” And Psalm 104:1-2,5, KJV: “Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty. 2 Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:...5 Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.” Also, the verses above in Revelation 21 include this promise in verse 4, in reference to His dwelling with "men" (verse 3), KJV: "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."
RESURRECTION! No consideration of GOD’s lovely purpose for planet Earth would be complete without including His intention to restore those “sleeping in death” back to life. Of course, Greek philosophy has taught many that humans have a “soul” that never dies, and this seems to bring us comfort, thinking our deceased loved ones are merely alive in a better world. But what comfort is that to a parent who has lost a precious child to a drunken driver, or in some similar disaster? Did “fate” cause such a thing at GOD’s instigation? Or rather, did that driver with free will fail to prudently see the danger, and to “love thy neighbor as thyself,” which would move him or her to avoid alcohol abuse or find another way to travel? (Proverbs 22:3; Matthew 22:39, KJV). NO—GOD did not need another angel in heaven by robbing parents of their precious child! (Job 34:10,12). Rather, GOD’s word reveals most of our deceased loved ones are alive in GOD’s memory, but “sleeping in death.” (Ecclesiastes 9:5,10; John 11:11-14) 1Thessalonians 4:13-14, KJV, says: “But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.” More plainly, verse 13 says this in NIV: “Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope.” Thus, Acts 24:15, KJV reveals: “And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.”
THOSE HEEDING GOD’S WORD SPARED. GOD has proven time and again to be a Savior of HIS faithful people. Throughout Israel’s perilous history, GOD fought to protect them on numerous occasions from their enemies. Of course, this same GOD allowed the faithless people of Israel to suffer at the hands of the Romans in the years leading up to 70 C.E. But those heeding Jesus’ own warning, and fleeing at the appropriate time, were spared such troubles. Thus we see FAITH, OR DEEP TRUST, even CONFIDENCE IN GOD AND HIS WORD are vital to our salvation and happiness. (Luke 21:20-22). Rather than believing mere Greek and other human philosophies about God and life, as many people come to trust God and His Word, we are able to grow closer together in unity and peace, understanding and supporting GOD’s true purposes and HIS right ways and laws, as revealed through Jesus. Whereas Jesus was a “son of GOD,” he foretold a “son of man,” born in the line of David, with ruling authority, that would follow in his steps, with GOD’s blessing. (For the Bible’s truth on a few important topics, such as the nature of GOD, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, and the difference between the “spirit” and the “soul”, see the article Finding Truth, elsewhere on this website.)
NOT TO BE THWARTED BY WOULD-BE THIEVES
“YOU ARE WORTHY” Sadly, there have been power-hungry thieves who would try to wrest GOD’s rulership away from HIM and HIS Son, just as Pharaoh believed his gods superior. The issue of GOD’s right to rule mankind, and whose rule is right, is addressed throughout GOD’s Word the Bible. Revelation draws this conclusion, at Revelation 4:11: “11 “You are worthy, Jehovah our God, to receive the glory and the honor and the power, because you created all things, and because of your will they came into existence and were created.”” May we gratefully support GOD’s rulership, as manifest at HIS appointed time, ever appreciative of HIS giving to us “life and breath and all things.” (Acts 17:25). It is GOD alone who can restore by resurrection the lives of our forefathers—parents, grandparents, etc. and HE “longs” to do so, through His Son. (Job 14:14-15; Ecclesiastes 9:5,10; John 5:28-29). HE is moved to do this by HIS greatest governing trait—TRUE LOYAL LOVE! (1John 4:8,16) Thus anyone competing for GOD’s power, after the example of GOD’s powerful enemy Satan, is threatening the lives of billions of people in the grave—all our ancestors, as well as the true peace and happiness eternally that only GOD can bring. How devastatingly cruel and heartless! However, some may be tricked into such a course by Satan or others.
EARTH’S PURPOSE. The foretold son of man supports the Ultimate rulership of the true GOD, the loving Creator Jehovah. Yet it is this same GOD who helped establish the government of the United States enabling much freedom of mankind in harmony with GOD’s good purpose. The Bible reveals Jehovah to be a GOD of freedom, who will no doubt continue to uphold freedoms such as granted by the founding fathers of this nation. The clear Bible teaching of an earthly resurrection helps establish GOD’s purpose for earth—not merely as a testing ground for heavenly life, but as a place wherein people may reside to love GOD and one another into eternity, under a good, true, right, fair and just, peace-loving government! (Psalm 37:29). Jesus did secure some early Christians, however, for heavenly life. And, as we’ve seen, there is a purpose to the stars. Still, Jesus taught all to pray: “Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.” Articles elsewhere on this website help establish GOD’s clear intentions especially regarding our Earth (see, for one, the article: God’s Kingdom—Our Hope).
LOYAL PATIENCE. As mentioned previously in this segment, Earth may well prove to be our “home” planet, as GOD’s purpose is unmistakably universal! May we be patient, as we fulfill GOD’s pressing purpose for us to clean up this planet and educate others in GOD’s ways for an eternal life of peace and happiness. Then, with GOD’s blessing and approval, we may see what HE has in store for faithful humans. An end to earth’s troubles is to come: Isaiah 25:8 promises: “He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it.”
CONCLUSION:
Thus, GOD’S WILL “ON EARTH” should be fairly clear:
TO WIPE AWAY TEARS OF SORROW, BRINGING ABOUT TRUE PEACE AND HAPPINESS, WHILE ELIMINATING SIN, SICKNESS, AND EVEN DEATH ITSELF, CROWNING OBEDIENT MANKIND WITH ETERNAL LIFE.
TRUE LOYAL LOVE! May we therefore continue to receive of GOD’s instructions from HIS word, the Bible, making application of it’s counsel in our day-to-day life, growing in our relationships with GOD and others, increasing both our peace and happiness. May family heads look after the welfare of their families, not just physically or materially, but spiritually as well—seeing to the everlasting welfare of those they love. And may as many as possible find GOD’s favor and blessing on into HIS righteous new world, based on HIS greatest governing trait—TRUE LOYAL LOVE!
What is GOD’s purpose for the Earth? Who does it really belong to, and did HE give much care and attention to it while intending to destroy it soon afterward?
BIBLE DIVINELY INSPIRED. We’ve seen over a few weeks time abundant evidence of the divine authorship of the Holy Bible. Just as evidence abounds over the miraculous act of salvation of all Israel through the Red Sea, with Israel having been in slavery in Egypt, and yet by GOD’s mighty hand being led to the land promised to them and to their forefathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Israel). They became the caretakers of GOD’s written word, beginning with Moses, and ending with Jesus’ aged apostle John. Separating the books of psalms, there were thus total 70 books, recorded by some 40 men, over 1,600 years time. Such numbers have significance to GOD, and no human could have choreographed such a design. According to GOD’s own word, HE has not given away the earth to humans, rather possibly “lent" it to us, but rather, as Exodus 19:5 clearly states by GOD, KJV: “for all the earth is mine.” (Compare Psalm 50:7,10-11).

Tell me, if you think you understand. Who set its measurements, in case you know, Or who stretched a measuring line across it? Into what were its pedestals sunk, Or who laid its cornerstone, When the morning stars joyfully cried out together, And all the sons of God began shouting in applause?” (Job 38:4-7). Thus, did GOD create the earth to be destroyed or to be inhabited? Isaiah 45:18, KJV, says this: “For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.” But for how long?

This is life as we know it under the current governmental framework. But is that GOD’s loving will and purpose for humans? There is a happy end to the cycle! But first, what of mention of the “heavens” passing away and it’s elements “melt” and “the earth...burned up” and “all these things...dissolved?” (2Peter 3:10-11). For all of GOD’s word to be true, this must carry a different meaning, a figurative one. We need only look two verses later for hope: “Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.” Is it reasonable that GOD will destroy this entire universe and planet Earth, creating a new physical universe, to make this one scripture come true literally? Or, what of GOD’s use of the term “heavens” in the Bible to refer to government, and the term “earth” to earthly society or it’s seemingly stable political framework? (Isaiah 1:2; Revelation 12:15-17)
A FEW MORE: Revelation 21:1-5, KJV mentions this “new heaven and a new earth” and says “and there was no more sea.” Is this literal—will the oceans be removed from planet Earth, or does Isaiah 57:20-21 show the figurative meaning of the sea, that there will eventually be no more wickedness among earth’s inhabitants? This verse reads: “But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.” Thus, GOD will step in to arrange HIS own rulership, welcoming mankind into a new society, a peaceful, righteous one, where true happiness may prevail!

O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty. 2 Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:...5 Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.” Also, the verses above in Revelation 21 include this promise in verse 4, in reference to His dwelling with "men" (verse 3), KJV: "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."

Update, par. 1. Also, update to (1A) Golden Apples, Free Will article. (d.702Moo, f718Fri 6:16,20 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! I apologize that I let the podcast this week take time away from posting like I would otherwise do. It is time as well for the new blogposts, moving into the 7th month of the 400-day, extending through the middle of the 8th month with this current format. Thus much will be retained, with the ongoing material continued into the new blogposts. If you wish, please use this time to review anything else you might benefit from, and there still is an additional article or two not on these pages that I plan to post soon to the new. I may post some of the podcast in text format later, perhaps the first episode for those interested in the week's theme and introduction. (d.632Fan, f715Tue 7:55; 8:09 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Added (4B) Psalm 119 Stanza 13. Also current podcast on Spotify, etc. is W59 w0865-69 Addressing Some Current Issues--How?

(d.628Wnd, f711Fri 10:41 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Added to PA (8-2) More Orderly Time article, paragraph just before Month 5, starting "NOW" about recommended adjustment to monthnames 2-4. (d.627Trs, 710Thu 6:58-7:01,19,41; 8:24 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! I apologize for the delay, I expect to get back to my punctuality that I was known for, throughout my 2020 election year, for example, and afterward, with God's continued blessing! NOTE : As you may realize, I've continued this blogset based on the 400-day calendar (the true one, astronomically, meteorologically, scientifically, etc.), and hopefully which we will acknowledge here, as many localities and regions here in the United States were doing for much time last year! There was some confusion about the reality of this or the connections to my Come to Consensus article, referring to it as the 8-Day Calendar, having God's blessing on new sets of month- and daynames that carry real meaning into our lives, benefitting us more, and underscoring God's interest and love for us. I'm looking to post a few more articles, some Persistent Articles, which I think will replace the Persistent/Introductory Posts designation. Thus PA's will usually be articles that may benefit more people, or benefit people more, in some way, with God's blessing. The full 8-Day Calendar article, as a CTC article, is one I actually thought was posted already this blog cycle, but I wish to post soon today, although it is available on the last blog 3C/8C. I want to review before posting on 4C/8C, blogpost 3 (the C in 4C/8C). I may change referring to blogpost 3 to blogpost C. I may also update the wording of the Educational Note on blogpost 3/C. Update, but article still coming. Article is there, under PA's (Persistent Articles) on blogpost 3/C, as (8-2). There are still other articles I wish to include in the next few days...I've updated that article, month 1, and more updates are possible. (d.626Mnd, 709Wed 8:45-46 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well!

Formatting, clarity on (8B) location. (d.621Hvn, f704Fri 10:58-59 am; 8:18,28,36; 9:05 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well and a happy sorta 4th! I've completed the text of the podcast Winit500 theme of last November, w0840-44 U.S. Election for President, 2024. It is in the list under (1B) the Win-it Minute Series work., podcast available on Spotify, elsewhere. Also, don't forget about the Significantly Revised article, What It Means To Be Righteous or Upright, on the Top Menu above. Let's continue to look to God and Christ above, as we navigate current circumstances--there is much we can accomplish together when we look above and stand for what's true and right, and what the Founders of our Nation stood for, the same, and looking for God's blessing for things to be as they should. Let's not assume that just because someone may want us to believe a lie, that we just need to go along with it--that's not who we are! Americans across our nation voted, elected me President of the United States, for good reason, and I'm the one blessed by God to be so, doing what I can despite our circumstances--recall that Donald Trump acknowledged at one point that he was not the President of the United States, but seems to have managed to sweep that under the carpet somehow. Nevertheless we want the best for all, recognizing God's love for all, but we also want our Nation truly as it Should Be, and as GOD will blessing it to Become! ALSO POSTED (7) Proverbs B Commentary, chapter 11 conclusion, verses 27-31! (d.620Wdn, f703Thu 8:03 am; 9:38,55,58; 10:50 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Posted (1B) Winit500, text of Episode 2, w0841 U.S. Election for President, 2024. W5a w0840- under Win-it Minute Series below. NOW also the REVISED ARTICLE, What It Means To Be Righteous or Upright. Titles. Some correction. (d.619Too, f702Wed 9:59 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Posted (3) Proverbs A, chapter 4, verses 24-27, concluding chapter 4. (d.618Moo, f701Tue 7:08-09,15,31,44,48,58; 8:03 am; 7:17,59 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Got the Podcast Episode 1 Text posted from yesterday, on the W5a w0840-44 U.S. Election for President 2024, listed under the (1B) Win-it Minute Series, explaining how Donald was attempting to defraud the public by claiming victory in the Presidential election, covering the TRUE results of the election by America. Later, however, as addressed in a later podcast, and after still staging an inauguration, he was willing at one point to be honest with the American people and admit that he was "not the President of the United States", as many who voted for me (and Washington, etc.) hopefully are coming to realize. I've also posted the 2025 Claim to Presidency text in the main body of Winit5to9 Posts, with the more recent Harvard and Issue of Government posts to follow sometime. Formatting, text accuracy. Now also, posted (7) Proverbs B, PR-B(11.5) chapter 11, verses 22-26. Formatting. (d.617Son, f630Mon 5:33-34; 8:56,58; 9:53; 10:22,36,48 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! I've moved last year's podcast from after the 2024 November election to the top of my Find Life And See Podcast on Spotify, W5a w0840-44 U.S. Election for President 2024. I have a place for the text of this podcast below, which I intend to begin posting today. NOW please consider carefully (when you are able) the PIP article below, Names of God and Christ, Clarified, for a carefully composed revision! You may also see the Note from yesterday, just below, regarding God's Name. Updates. (d.616Fan, f629Sun 10:16,18,34 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! As I've occasionally referred to, there has been interference by some, trying to corrupt good work or rob me of much of my own work, whether claiming my own website articles or my podcast work, ideas/designs/patents, etc., and especially even my rightful win as President of the United States, after already being the true 46th President of the United States, fully expecting this time to finally make it to the White House, where I can be and do fully what the American people have looked forward and expect me to be and do. Another thing has come to my attention--my work on restoring God's true name. At one point I was clarifying God's name to be JEHOVAHZ, not Jehovalz. Someone with power attempted to take credit for this, and try to cause confusion about JEHOVALZ, which is now understood to be one of the three GODs that make up the Complete JEHOVAHZ. While knowing Him as a GOD of Vows/Valz, altogether He brings things about, especially His will, in many ways, not only by the keeping of Promises. I'll be updating the website accordingly, and the NAMES of God and Christ article, to again reflect this position. I've already updated the recently posted (4B) Psalm 119 Review 4 Stanzas 01-11 to reflect this change. Also now the most recent (3) Proverbs A, PR-A(4.5). Also (7) Proverbs B, PR-B(11.4) Correction.

Notes, Formatting NOTES: (25d.515 Slv, f526 Mon 1:56, 9:41; 10:23 am; 3:41; 6:29 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Updating, I've added posts on blogpost 2, finishing the Ten Commandments and adding a Persistent post of 4B, Psalm 119 Intro of Stanzas 1-4. Also, let me clarify that there are places on the 3 blogposts that are meant to be filled as the half quarter (month and a half) proceeds, and the 3A-C blogposts have not been up all that long. So the move to 4A-C up through month 6 will allow more posts as on the site previously, before the new format. Soon adding two Psalm Selects to the Persistent/Introductory Posts on this blogpage. Posted,both Psalms 1 and 15. Now, added posts to pages 2 and 3. This includes 4A Godz Lawl posts in PIP, Persistent/Introductory Posts, and another Godz Lawl post in segment 4A, on the Golden Rule, also in (5) Eternal Express, on Protecting Peace from Ephesians 4-5, and (6) Golden Bellz, on the Salvtuday dayname recommendation from Saltuday. Also, added the 7) article under the CTC Foundational list, actually the original 5th article, Realities of God's Government and Beneficial Standards, and then to (9) Godlove Home, I added the article Aim to Develop True Loyal Love. Misc. updates. 25d.514Prz,f525Sun 8:53 am; 1:15,29,56; 6:29 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Posted 1B-1 so far the Conclusion of the podcast Proper View of God and Life Rewarding, the episode 5 w0834 having become a theme for my campaign, entitled 'Restore Good - Move Forward'. Also, posted this year's entire podcast, the carryover as Winit5to9, w0850-0854, with the theme: 2025 Claim to Presidency. This is under segment (1B) as 1B-3. Also, yesterday's 13th of Month 5 was Thunderday, a day when you more often will hear thunder as from God, realizing He can lend forth His mighty voice to things taking place, as a God of true justice, reminding us of His power, truth, and love. Still there have been interferences, etc.--NOT all storms are from God. Today's 8-Day Calendar day is the second week's Friday, the first week of two being Starzday, for movie-going, etc, with the second being Prayerzday, which begins a four-day or five-day weekend, a day which could also be used for entering court pleas, etc. Prayers of course help all to maintain closeness to God and His Son, and provisions for life. Also, 1A posts, WGA-A, previous. The reference is 1A-2 Previous GA(1A-102-217) on Presidency, Economy, Tariffs, Govt Cuts, etc. This post is originally from the 2025 2/8 START page (blogpost 1), where it (in 2 posts) may still be found. Correction made to most of those individual posts for this page to match the original reference number format, for technical purposes; I will make that change if appropriate on the next blogpost 4A/8A, planning to carry it over. 25d.513Thd,f524Sat 5:31; 6:20-21,39-40; 7:05 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Posted 1A-3 Golden Apples Post, GA(008) On the Number Eight (8). Included as a Latest GA post. Also soon to come, a Psalm 19 rendition. Posted, as latest and Psalms Post 1, numbered 2.1. Updates Psalm 19, note. 25d.512Wnd,f523Fri 9:18-23; 10:15 am; 9:50-53,55,59; 10:27,33,37; 11;11:08-09,59 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! I've added another post to (1A) WGA-A, after the A-306 from last night, on the Penny news. This one, A-307, is regarding an important lesson from ancient Greece. Again, these are on this blogpost 1 below, under segment 1A (Weekly) Golden Apples. Also now another (3) Proverbs A, PR-A(3.6), chapter 3, verses 31-35, concluding chapter 3. NOTE : Now letting you know I'm planning to fill-in the missing pieces on the 3 blogposts, but possibly just on the new 4A-C/8A-C posts which normally begin from the middle of month 5 through month 6. Most of the work done on 3A-C/8A-C will be carried over into the 4's. Along with adding WGA-A/B posts, planning especially the next 2 days if possible. I could however finish the essentials on the 3A-C's in time for Memorial Day, then carry over most into the 4's to post a day or two later. The reason this may be better is that we, as the United States, should not be ignoring the 8-Day Calendar, which half the world is already on, as a step forward in life, toward a greater world of peace, with God's blessing. After all, it originated here, in the U.S. with God's blessing on me, so why should we consider being the last to begin using it, unless we're helping others to get on it before us, like people getting into lifeboats before the captain of a ship that's slowly sinking, but such an illustration is NOT to apply to us, or in this situation, except for our captains having such genuine concern for those under their care! God's spirit is still with us to straighten things out, and to have a leading role in bringing blessings from God to other countries, even as "one nation under God". Perhaps we may begin thinking in terms of the 8-Day, I could reference the days in an article/post to remind of the purpose of the day, which I believe God is blessing for it's particular purpose that day, whether it's to strengthen our bodies with the right kind of salt intake, or acknowledging that the day might be more windy like today really was here on this Windyday the 12th of the 5th month Agreehelp (Agr). But I realize it would help for me to get where I should, and the true election results regarding the U.S. President to be acknowledged, which was or is not simple due to the AI media control that Donald had over DC, VA, and MD for the last 4-5 years or more, with at least TV, radio, and internet in the region, beginning likely with smaller measures aimed to lessen opposition to his reputation or ideas. Not everyone knew that I was on the ballot in 48 states last November, with much backing across the nation. 25d.511Tro,f522Thu 6:04,07-08,21; 7:11 am; 11:18,53 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Added an Introductory/Persistent Post, Aim to Develop True Loyal Love. More work, including WGA-A/B posts today...Initially prayers that food can continue to get into Palestine, where some 11,000 lives of children and adults are currently being threatened daily, and that love and diplomacy, or mindful and peaceable discussion, be the way, rather than more war or violence. Also, other matters of course need attention. Let love and truth prevail again, as it may rest in our hearts and minds. Added to WGA-A the post (A-306), Last Run of the Penny (As We Know It)? Update. 25d.510Mnd,p521Wed 9:08-09 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Added (3) Proverbs A, chapter 3, verses 27-30. 25d.509Rih,p520Tue 6:41,50 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Added some GA posts.

Posted work from last evening (8B) WGA-B, B-304 post theme: Drive for Clean Energy Can Continue! on blogpost #3. Hoping to be writing again from the real START page, blogpost #1, soon! I'd like to also say, Let's thank God for blessing what we all can do regarding His will, for genuine peace--let's stand for what's true, with God's guidance and love! Some have been seeking their own glory rather than God's, and hurting others in the process, against God's will; May they humble themselves and be honest. We need divine wisdom and God's blessing on all we do! If time, planning to post (4B) Psalm 119 Part 2 of Review within the hour, Stanzas 7-8. Posted! Format update. (25d.504 Wdn, f515 Thu 9:41,50; 10:15-16,23-24,46 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! I've posted Part 1 of the (4) Psalm 119 Stanzas 5-8 Review (Stanzas 5-6), with two good stanza/themes. More of something to come...Posted as LATEST Psalm 119, and format updates. Also now, added (7) PR-B(11.1), Proverbs B, chapter 11 verses 1-5 on blogpost 3. Format change. (25d.502 Moo, f513 Tue 9:38,40-41 am; 9:55,58; 10:03-05,10-11; 11:01 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well, again from the Blogpost #2, not the normal messaging/notes post of the START page, blogpost 1. So much to be considering, knowing where I should be and still aiming to be, but also wanting to, within limits, address things this way, to share, offer insight, etc. Plan to make some progress on these posts today, while giving attention to the important things of our nation, etc. Several things came up, but I did review Commandment #4 of the Ten, which I've posted by itself, without numbers 5-7 yet. Looking for getting up the START page and/or more Golden Apples pieces and WGA posts on what's taking place, whether WGA-B or WGA-A (blogpost 1). Formatting update. Update, further. (25d.501 Son, f512 Mon 11:53 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Updated the Commandments 1-3 of the Ten, specifically #1. (25d.434Lun,f511Sun 10:27,38 am; 4:53; 5:41 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Again this is blogpost 2, not the normal start page, but more notesy for now until it's up! I've updated the Ps119, S08 post(s). Also, this ending of the 4th month of the 8-Day Calendar is the Hymneth long weekend, the days to include the 34th actually get switched up, so that the 30th is (Prz) Prayerzday, 31st (Hym) Hymneth, 32nd (Slt) Saltuday, 33rd (Fan) Fanday, and 34th (Lun) Lunaday. Again, the normal progression in a 33-day month is 30th Prz, 31st Slt, 32nd Fan, 33rd Lun. Now the first 3 of the Ten Commandments has been posted, looking to review before posting remainder. Update. (25d.433Fan,f510Sat 8:01; 9:01,44-45 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well again, on this page! Format basically complete for this Blogpost 2, with the Psalm 119 Stanza 8 A and B parts posted as latest segment 4B post and in the 4B list! The Memorial that many anointed ones haven't yet commemorated this year could take place this Monday evening/night (7-Day Cal.) one month following the normal one, after the example of Hezekiah's delayed Passover. Unleavened bread and red wine are symbolic of pure, genuine instruction and the ransom provision, with faith and associated joy of heart that comes with the aim of wisely keeping divine standards. Jehoshua/Jesus said 'until I drink it new with you..." Meetings that discuss the significance of this occasion and provide for both of these provisions figuratively are one way that the Passover statute in God's law that for Christians became the Memorial commemoration ('Christ our Passover lamb has been sacrificed') can continue to be appreciated and recognized.
