2020 Jan 15-Jan 16 Proverbs 2, Psalm 119 Preview 2
Welcome, wishing you a fine and lovely day! Let's conclude Proverbs 2, with verses 20-22, then Preview the next 4 stanzas of Psalm 119.
This exhortation ensues the warnings against ignoring divine wisdom and pursuing a selfish course resulting in calamity. “20 So follow the way of good people And stay on the paths of the righteous, 21 For only the upright will reside in the earth, And the blameless will remain in it. 22 As for the wicked, they will be cut off from the earth, And the treacherous will be torn away from it.”
“20 So follow the way of good people And stay on the paths of the righteous,"
Prove 2:20 Therefore all are encouraged to appreciate and “follow” the way of good people. How fine that God has preserved such goodness among mankind that many, even in the difficult “last days,” may still see and recognize it being practiced. The “righteous” may still be found despite the presence of unseemly attitudes and practices mentioned at 2Timothy 3:1-5. Reasonably, however, there are places on the earth where such ones are “few and far between.” May right-hearted ones in those areas rely heavily upon Jehovah to continue setting a good example for their neighbors, in the hope of helping others be drawn to the truth of God’s word, as long as the way is still open for people to respond to the call of eternal life in peace. Revelation 14:6,7 speaks of the involvement of heavenly angels in declaring this message, saying: “6 And I saw another angel flying in midheaven, and he had everlasting good news to declare to those who dwell on the earth, to every nation and tribe and tongue and people. 7 He was saying in a loud voice: “Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of judgment by him has arrived, so worship the One who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and the springs of water.””
"21 For only the upright will reside in the earth, And the blameless will remain in it."
Prove 2:21 Notice God’s inspired word through King Solomon speaks of the earth as man’s true home, where even the blameless “will remain.” Before Jesus came there was no mention of man’s receiving heavenly life as a hope. That calling was to fulfill the need for a heavenly government by God, arranged by Him, having His direction, approval and blessing, to rule over mankind and the earth. For the majority, the hope is for God to finally be “...3 with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” (Revel 21:3,4). Notice Isaiah 45:18: “18 For this is what Jehovah says, The Creator of the heavens, the true God, The One who formed the earth, its Maker who firmly established it, Who did not create it simply for nothing, but formed it to be inhabited: “I am Jehovah, and there is no one else.” But God wants those dwelling upon the earth to be “upright” and “blameless,” persons of integrity to God and loyal love, thus making for a wonderful SPIRITUAL Paradise on earth, to match perfectly the literal Paradise of beauty that is in the making for man to enjoy earth-wide.
"22 As for the wicked, they will be cut off from the earth, And the treacherous will be torn away from it.”
Prove 2:22 Notice, again, it is from the earth that evil ones will be “cut off” and “torn away” from, not being allowed to enjoy the earthly Paradise home of mankind that the righteous ones will. The punishment for such ones in the Scriptures, at worst, is death, the “wages of sin” (Romans 6:23; John 3:16). Still, it is God’s will that as many as possible be saved from such a calamity. May they repent of wrongdoing, turn to God, hoping in His divine mercy and blessing as they ascribe to the 8 H’s:
"(1) HOPING in God's approval and blessing, (2) HUMBLING themselves and becoming (3) HONEST, (4) HUNGERING for what’s right, Taking God’s words to (5) HEART, (6) HATING what is bad, (7) HURRY to turn around, and bringing the truth (8) HOME."
Isaiah 55:6,7 says: “ 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 Acts 3:19 exhorts: "Repent, therefore, and turn around, so as to get your sins blotted out, that seasons of refreshing may come from Jehovah himself."

Upcoming is the next (7) Proverbs B post. Some may recall the mention of the first day of Spring according to the 8-Day Calendar on d.302, about a week ago.

(26:03.02 (Sha) or y26.302 or d.302 or :3.02, o4/9/26 6:53,56 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! A new blogpost, 3A! Added (3) Proverbs A, chapter 4 verses 1-8, PR-A(04.1). On post 3B, added (4A) Psalm 119 Preview of Stanzas 15-19, and on post 3C, added (7) Proverbs B, chapter 17 verses 15-20, PR-B(17.5). On the 8-Day this is March or Shuay the 2nd, which is the actual beginning of Spring, again by the 8-Day Calendar! So the winter does end a little sooner than perhaps in times past as God has willed it, despite a trick that was causing it to appear to be sooner than it should have been. We are now currently about 1 1/4 months difference between the 7-Day and 8-Day Calendars, but it may be best to continue with the 7-Day this year in the U.S., until we can build enough consensus to switch with much of the world to the current or true 400-day calendar; we would be off about 2 months by year's end. LAST MONTH 2026 02/12 SPECIAL ADDITIONS AND NOTES NOTE : God's name in some places uses the ( ) for the last letter z. I had found out that a long time ago God actually gave permission to use His name without the plural 'z' ending. Still, He is 'the First and the Last', 'the Alpha and the Omega', 'the A and the Z'. In the case of 'Jehovah(z)', it evidently is still the case, although there is something else to add to this, in the article on the Names of God and His Son; look for this coming up.

LAST MONTH 2026 01/12 SPECIAL ADDITIONS AND NOTES (7) Proverbs B, chapter 16 verses 29-33 (conclusion of chapter 16), PR-B(16.7) . Planning tomorrow new posts to include Proverbs A as well or at least Stanza 11 of Psalm 119. A side note: You may notice that the 8-day calendar is the end of the month, Lunarday, abbreviated Lnr. To be clear, Lunarday would normally be a New Moon, not a Full Moon. At one time, GOD had the moon phases lining up with the 8-day calendar, so that the 33/34 day month was the moon's cycle, and the moon phases were always on the weekends--new moon, quarter/first-half moon, full moon, etc. At some point He dropped that when we weren't yet acknowledging the new calendar. But this is something He can or will do when we do begin to recognize it more officially, as other countries have around the world. We are still in the midst of Winter in the U.S., even though Baseball Spring training camp began some time ago, and some were beginning to wonder if it was going to become a Winter sport. Proverbs B posted. Update to Notes above. Update to Proverbs 16, verse 33. Further. NOTE : God's name in some places uses the ( ) for the last letter z. I had found out that a long time ago God actually gave permission to use His name without the plural 'z' ending. Still, He is 'the First and the Last', 'the Alpha and the Omega', 'the A and the Z'. In the case of 'Jehovah(z)', it evidently is still the case, although there is something else to add to this, in the article on the Names of God and His Son; look for this coming up.
