2020 Jul 03 Proverbs 19, CSL Select, TWGA, weekly CTC
NOTICE: Find Life and See BLOG is coming back ONLINE--WITH DAILY UPDATES!!!
Hello, and welcome, wishing you a day blessed by Jehovah, guiding us to true peace and happiness. Let's remain careful and considerate, and look into Proverbs 19, verses 4-8, then a Christian Small Letter Selection, today's TWGA, and the weekly CTC Corner.
"4
Wealth attracts many friends, But the poor man will be deserted even by
his friend. 5 A false witness will not go unpunished, And the one who
lies with every breath will not escape. 6 Many seek the favor of a
noble, And everyone is a friend to the man who gives gifts. 7 All the
brothers of a poor man hate him; How much more he is shunned by his
friends! He pursues them with requests, but no one responds. 8 Whoever
acquires good sense loves himself. Whoever treasures discernment will
find success."
EMPATHY TOWARD POOR.
Prov 19:4 Here is another sad truth about imperfect humans. A poor
person who may be treasured by God, is at times abandoned by a friend.
Should we really judge another on the basis of wealth? Nearly every
person could face such unfortunate circumstances at some time in their
life. May we be compassionate to those in such circumstances. Also, we may be understanding toward those who are distressed spiritually, lacking what they should know to have good relationships with others. Let's seek to help them know, as they desire to please and love God and others.
"5 A false witness will not go unpunished, And the one who lies with every breath will not escape."
HATE DECEPTION.
Prov 19:5 One who judges on the basis of wealth, may be tempted
with a bribe to give a false witness, but God hates a lie, and giving a
false testimony is even a violation of one of the Ten Commandments. May
we seek to live with honest integrity, ever searching for the truth to
live by. Also, may we look to God to deal justly with incorrigible liars, refusing to turn around from such a harmful practice.
"6 Many seek the favor of a noble, And everyone is a friend to the man who gives gifts."
AVOID APPEARANCE OF BRIBERY.
Prov 19:6 Understandably, we all like to receive a gift from a dear
friend. But we shouldn't use such gifts to bribe others in any way. Our
gifts should be from the heart, regardless of how much they cost. And we should avoid the appearance of giving a gift so as to obtain some personal advantage.
"7
All the brothers of a poor man hate him; How much more he is shunned by
his friends! He pursues them with requests, but no one responds."
SEEK GOD'S BLESSING.
Prove 19:7 If such as person realizes he has not been relying upon God, certainly it is time to do so--seeking God's blessing and assistance to have what's needed. We should recall, as stated at Proverbs 10:22, "It is the blessing of Jehovah that makes one rich,And He adds no pain with it." Those seeking wealth apart from God, or by unrighteous practices such as stealing, cheating, or lying, are to find no ultimate benefit from such wealth. Proverbs 10:2-3 says this: "The treasures gained by wickedness will be of no benefit,But righteousness is what rescues from death. 3 Jehovah will not cause the righteous one to go hungry, But he will deny the wicked what they crave. 4 Idle hands will cause poverty,But diligent hands bring riches." So to help such ones, we should lovingly assist their faith in the Giver of Life, Jehovah. The capable wife of Proverbs 31,
for instance, "extends her palm to the lowly one, and she opens her
hands to the poor." May we likewise have compassion for those in
unfortunate circumstances.
"8 Whoever acquires good sense loves himself. Whoever treasures discernment will find success."
DISCERNMENT VITAL TO SUCCESS.
Prov 19:8 Discernment is a vital quality for one wanting true
wisdom. It allows us to see the difference between things--right from
wrong, true from false, good from bad, wise from unwise, and serious
matters of the law from lesser matters, though still required. We should
become skilled at discerning such things, as this will help us be truly
successful in life. It may be best to learn to discern such things early on in our development of wisdom, that we may better know what is most important to understand in life.

CHRISTIAN SMALL LETTERS
CHRISTIAN SMALL LETTER SELECTION
MAINTAIN FAITHFULNESS TO GOD, NEEDING HIS SUPPORT
TRUSTING GOD, NEEDING HIS GUIDANCE.
James 4:4 shows we need to be cautious not to be merely pleasers of men,
concerned only with what people think, ignoring God's guidance. James
called some Christians "adulteresses" for seeking friendship with the
part of the world that's faith-deprived, affected by wrong thinking,
largely those believing in no God. Congregations of true Christians, or
even individuals, were not to align themselves with any corrupting
practice, influence, or system. James 4:4 says "Adulteresses, do you not
know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever,
therefore, wants to be a friend of the world is making himself an enemy
of God." What a serious warning! Those ignoring the evidence of God's
love in His creative works are not only mistaken, but missing the
benefits of His law for themselves and others. Drawing close to those
who refuse to consider such evidence can corrupt our thinking, lead to
serious sin, and will not have God's blessing, although we may still
lovingly seek to encourage such ones to consider changing their view. As
Paul illustrated at Hebrews 3:4: "Of course, every house is constructed
by someone, but the one who constructed all things is God." (For
further explanation, see the article "The Basics" elsewhere on this
website.)
LOYALLY ENDURE TRIALS, HOPING IN GOD.
James 5:10-11 says "Brothers, take as a pattern of the suffering of evil
and the exercising of patience the prophets who spoke in the name of
Jehovah. 11 Look! We consider happy those who have endured. You have
heard of the endurance of Job and have seen the outcome Jehovah gave,
that Jehovah is very tender in affection and merciful."
Thus we may have to suffer evil at times, enduring hurtful speech
from unkind or disobedient ones, but if we maintain self-control, our
mild gentle responses may quiet such things, and be blessed by God. We
want to maintain love in our hearts, for God and all others. May we
endure our trials faithfully, trusting in God's favor and the joy set
before us, just as Jesus, God's firstborn Son, whose death ransomed
mankind, endured faithfully by hoping in the joy "set before HIM" to be
and remain the one chosen by God to rule God's Kingdom, and restore
humans to spiritual completeness, true peace and happiness, and eternal
life! Hebrews 12:2 says: "as we look intently at the Chief Agent and
Perfecter of our faith, Jesus. For the joy that was set before him he
endured [impalement], despising shame, and has sat down at the right
hand of the throne of God."

THRICE WEEKLY GOLDEN APPLES (TWGA)
Since
these two articles are just too important to forget about, I'm showing
them both once more, as life is still involved in understanding what has
been going on. This was the TWGA from last Saturday (normally Friday) and Monday:
COVID-19 IN THE UNITED STATES
This week we have seen the numbers of serious cases of coronavirus rising, despite efforts of many in the U.S. to recognize and follow the guidelines provided by those in authority, striving hard to re-open the economy in a safe and effective manner. This is despite similar efforts having proved more successful in other countries. What could be going on here?
This week we have seen the numbers of serious cases of coronavirus rising, despite efforts of many in the U.S. to recognize and follow the guidelines provided by those in authority, striving hard to re-open the economy in a safe and effective manner. This is despite similar efforts having proved more successful in other countries. What could be going on here?
It is quite possible that some news we've had in the past two months or so may provide an answer. There have been several reports of astonishing numbers of coronavirus cases at meat-processing plants in the U.S. The reasons for this that have been given are varied, but largely haven't been clear, going from poor working conditions to failures of employees to follow procedures, etc. Here is what is likely occurring in many instances. Are not most such workers in such facilities willing to eat the very meat they are processing for the benefit of people? They are showing a sense of responsibility toward others, placing themselves at risk should the meat they are processing somehow be unhealthy to the public!
And the management of these plants have also doubtless largely been worried sick at the problem, trying to correct matters! While it is likely that the meat itself is of high quality, what about the cooking procedures and times given on the label? Is it not reasonable to consider that the meat being eaten by these hard-working employees is unintentionally at times being undercooked? I have seen uncooked (not heat and serve) hot dogs recently labelled with instructions to cook in boiling water for 3-5 minutes. Pork was included in this meat. Now ask those who know and they should tell you that this is not long enough to cook such meat thoroughly. In this case the time should be more like 10 minutes! Somehow the full cooking times have not always been labelled correctly, and this is likely causing coronavirus susceptibilty to those unsuspectingly eating this undercooked meat! Many believe it was, not pork, but undercooked pork, that contributed largely to the Spanish influenza of 1918, killing millions. These hot dogs are less expensive, and if labelled correctly, can still be a valued purchase, even if they must be cooked longer. Whereas some such plants had closed down due to the extent of illness, many were more recently re-opened, despite continued problems with coronavirus, understandably so that vital food could continue to reach the public. Likely, the meat that is being sold is GOOD MEAT! IT JUST NEEDS TO BE COOKED MORE THOROUGHLY TO BE SAFE!
THOSE who have been exposed to undercooked meat should pray to God diligently for His assistance. If parasites were passed to the human, steps may be required to eliminate them naturally with a few herbs and spices available at low cost, or God Himself may intervene for the salvation of many exposed individuals.
1) May prayers continue at this time, that this matter may be addressed with as few further casualties as possible.
2) May research and investigation be carried out into this, to verify whether this is primarily what is going on, or to determine nuances.
3) May finger-pointing and the blame game be set aside, at least initially, so that focus may be on better informing the public as quickly as possible what needs to be done to prevent further catastrophe.
4) Let all meat be more carefully cooked, perhaps using a meat thermometer to ensure adequate internal cooking temperatures of at least 160-180 degrees or more. Try to determine a specific safe number in each circumstance, or await further instructions from officials.
5) Again, make this a matter of personal prayer and attention for any who have been affected, to determine whether or not certain natural remedies may be necessary to restore health and immunity to the individual(s).

CONTINUED ADDRESS TO UNITED STATES ON COVID-19
As shared previously, on Saturday's TWGA release, we've had a serious development, at least in the U.S., as regards the intake of undercooked meat which has increased susceptibility to coronavirus for many persons. There is another aspect to this matter, and not just a nuance. This involves a serious factor in immune system weakness that is contributing to coronavirus hospitalizations and even deaths. A reasonable question to ask is why would even the undercooked meat eaten by meat-packing workers have such as dramatic COVID-19 affect on so many of them, almost all of them? It has to do with FUNGAL INFECTIONS, mentioned previously on this website as an early factor affecting the personal impact of COVID-19 on individuals. Anyone receiving such an infection may have impaired liver function and immune response, and could suffer more dramatically from COVID-19. But how are they, and others, getting fungal infections from meat? Some time ago, an idea took hold that feeding PRE-DIGESTED corn to animals such as cows, would enhance their health and make for better meat. Unfortunately, the enzymes used to break down this corn for digestion were derived from a harmful fungus, usually a form of Aspergillus.Many fungi, fed sugar, will secrete substances that may appear to be those needed by humans, but in reality have a contrary effect on the human organism, as evidently these substances are secreted for use by the fungus itself, rather than for human or animal benefit. Thus they may only function to extend or advance the life of the fungus inside it's host. There may be a whole list of substances people may be ingesting that have been so derived from harmful fungi, that if truly derived from genuine food sources, could have very positive effects on human health. One common array of substances, largely being derived from harmful fungi, involves various types of ENZYMES, even appearing in some human digestive enzyme supplements. Such enzymes again apparently are breaking down food for the benefit and life of fungus, even inside a host creature, and are not advancing human health. Thus the animals eating this pre-digested food are feeding a living fungus within themselves, promoting fungal infection, and producing meat that must be thoroughly cooked for humans to have nutritional benefit. With proper response and corrections, both humans and animals may most-likely return to a state of good health. Much normal grain-fed and especially grass-fed cattle remain in excellent condition for nourishing consumption.
More has been learned as to how this infection weakens individuals. As explained early on, one helpful substance that can greatly assist one's recovery from such an infection is ascorbic acid, or vitamin C. As contrary as it may seem to some, the typical synthetic version of this, which usually is the only type that can be made into tablet form, is the best for the purpose of killing mold toxins and restoring liver function from the fungal invasion. So-called food-source ascorbic acid is most likely derived the cheapest way, from another yeast or fungus, which would only exacerbate the problem. Also, as regards even a synthetic vitamin C supplement, be careful, as the cheapest of ascorbic acid or vitamin C supplements may contain other added chemicals or ingredients that, while not necessarily inhibiting the desired effect on mold, may create other body imbalances or health impacts. Something else that has been learned is that one way fungi diminish human health is by taking minerals from their human host, especially perhaps inorganic minerals or minerals broken down by fungal enzymes for their use. Thus in support of human health, while combating a fungal infection, and eliminating intake of fungal enzymes, it can be beneficial to maintain adequate food mineral intake--not to further feed the fungus, but to prevent human body shutdown from lack of vital minerals. Drinking good coffee, for instance, supports human remineralization, as does eating mineral-rich foods, such as potatoes and other root vegetables grown in healthy soil.

COME TO CONSENSUS CORNER
I'm remaining focused on the U.S. COVID-19 situation at this time, so let's continue the week 16 issue:
Week 16: ISSUE AFTER ISSUE ADDRESSED BY GOD’S KINGDOM: MORE ORDERLY TIME
POSSIBLE? Two months from now, on the 16th of the month, what day of the week will it be? How would you like to know the answer without having to check your phone, calendar, or appointment book, or recall some complex memorization device? What if time or days could be measured in a more orderly way? Might this increase our ability to organize activities better, and promote greater happiness? How would you like every month to begin on a Monday? What if every month was 4 weeks, or 28 days long? Is it possible to maintain this year after year? Many may recall that the year can primarily be split into 4 divisions of 13 weeks each, totaling 364 days. Thus, turning this around, could we have 13 months of 4 weeks each? And could we incorporate one additional month in a way that wouldn’t upset the balance of seasons that we’ve become accustomed to?
IT IS POSSIBLE! The answers may indeed be a resounding YES! Would the additional month necessarily have to be at the end of the year? Or rather, could it be divided up, one week at a time, at the conclusion of each 3-month period, at the beginning of each season? Initially, I proposed the month be named Humanity, largely as a reminder of the one human family God made, and the dignity with which we should accord one another within this family. However, the name of a month needs to be chosen carefully, so that it not be confused with normal words, which can cause misunderstandings, especially in the ears of young children. For instance, Humanity 1, Humanity 2, etc. could be misconstrued. Researching the origins of the word “month” led to a proposed adjustment, to recommend calling the month Humaneth. The meaning may be retained, and the origins explained and related to the appealing term of Humanity. Thus Humaneth 1-7 could appear at the end of the first 3 months, some days after the beginning of the spring equinox, which would normally occur around the time of March 20. And after 3 full months of 4 weeks each, what if some may even be able to have this week off from normal work activities, an additional rest and recreational period to add to the blessings of God’s Kingdom arrangement? Granted, this might not be possible for everyone, but perhaps those that must still work, may work less, and possibly alternate with other workers, to have off some other time of the year. We may be surprised what is possible with God’s blessing on this arrangement! What a fine time of reflection and activity each of these weeks could be, as we prepare for a new season!
YEAR TO YEAR? So with 4 separate weeks of Humaneth, the final being Humaneth 22-28 after the last normal month of the year, what can be done to account for the additional 1-1/4 days, the year actually being 365-1/4 days long? First, we need one additional day each year, to maintain the first of each month as Monday, the beginning of the week we’ve grown accustomed to. We certainly don't want every month the following year starting on Tuesday! While this day, Humaneth 29, would help maintain our sanity, following the Sunday of Humaneth 28, and avoid causing confusion with another day Monday through Sunday, which could be maintained each as 52 days of the year, a name appropriate to it's intended purpose might be simpy, "Reflection," or "Reflection Day". It would follow the Sunday of Humaneth 28, and give us pause before looking ahead to the new year.Either way, every fourth year, we would need one more additional day, Humaneth 30, to account for the Leap year. I would like to propose we actually call this “Quad Day,” having reference to the number 4, as I believe it would be advantageous for us to refer to each 4-year cycle as a “Quad,” or a "Quad cycle." It is evidently a period of time God built in to Earth’s journey around the Sun, and a period that should be recognized in some useful way, in counting time. It would still follow "Reflection" and likely also be a day of consideration of the prior 4 years, before looking ahead to the next.
OTHER MONTH NAMES. Then, while we’re looking at such significant changes, could we not reconsider even the names of our months? How beneficial are the meanings of the months as they are? What if they could be renamed in a way that would help our precious children gain values and understand more of what’s important in life, to be happier and more at peace with themselves and others? Let’s propose names that have meaning and provide some order to values contributing greatly to a wise and peaceful human family. Again, we can be careful to choose names that wouldn’t be confusing to words used ordinarily, so the names shouldn’t necessarily sound familiar:
In a new world of God’s making, benefitting from the rule of His Kingdom,
The first three months might be named accordingly:
(1) EverPray(-Fulljoy) (Epr.) -or EverPray(-Rejoice) Life without reliance upon God leads to pride and disaster. What is life or even time without our Creator and Life-giver? Why not give Reliance on God the rightful place of the first month, as we live our lives ever acknowledging our need and dependence upon God for our happiness and sustenance. It was determined that praying for our needs is such an important concept to our happiness and relationships with God and others. This teaches us vital communication with God, and the concept of looking to Him to provide for our true needs.
(2) HopenGod-Jah (Hop.) - Vital for happiness, and needed to be restored quickly if ever lost, is HOPE. And our hope should be in our Creator, first and foremost. (Romans 15:4). This was originally Hopengod, but it was determined that young children would be having trouble connecting God with His name, Jehovah or Jah, shortened, such as appears in the expression "Hallelujah", and which makes its appearance in the original text of God's word in many places. With this new name, they can make this connection as early as possible, and learn much about the true God and His loving, peaceable ways. The two verses especially encouraged to remember and share at the conclusion of this article may help young children similarly, but again it was determined that some still wouldn't make this connection without this important adjustment. Also, we may be reminded that we have several current month names that are 3- and 4-syllables long, which we often draw out without giving it a second thought.
(3) Noli (Nol.) - An important early value is learning to tell truth from falsehood. What a vital, life-saving ability! May we aim to gain and refine the wisdom to tell the difference, and refuse to carry on or promote harmful untruths.
After 4 weeks each of these months, would come the first week of Humaneth, 1-7.
The next three months of Spring might then be named:
POSSIBLE? Two months from now, on the 16th of the month, what day of the week will it be? How would you like to know the answer without having to check your phone, calendar, or appointment book, or recall some complex memorization device? What if time or days could be measured in a more orderly way? Might this increase our ability to organize activities better, and promote greater happiness?

(3) Noli (Nol.) - An important early value is learning to tell truth from falsehood. What a vital, life-saving ability! May we aim to gain and refine the wisdom to tell the difference, and refuse to carry on or promote harmful untruths.
After 4 weeks each of these months, would come the first week of Humaneth, 1-7.
The next three months of Spring might then be named:
(4) Rightnes (Rtn.)
Now named one month prior. Under peaceful conditions, largely inspired by hope, and aided by truth, the practice of right conduct can blossom and flourish. This, of course, is God’s standard of righteousness we seek, in harmony with divine wisdom. (James 3:18). Whereas this month starts much agriculture, it often continues well into the next. What is right should be largely understood prior to finding agreement with others.
(5) Agreehelp (Agr.) While considered an agricultural month, the name suggests a measure of peace, with encouragement to lovingly assist others to come to a proper view, and the abbreviation fits well with agriculture. Peace is to be a hallmark of God’s new world, so it appears here early on in development. This is a quality God expects us to strive to maintain with Him and fellow humans, never growing bitter and allowing hatred to fester toward others, but rather treating others with compassion and understanding where possible.
(6) Hapnesy (Hap.) At this point, genuine happiness can begin to blossom as well, as we come to live in harmony with godly wisdom and standards. True happiness is thus appropriately linked with peace and right, fair conduct.
After 4 weeks each of these months, would come the second week of Humaneth, 8-14.
The following three months of Summer might then be named:
(7) Jahferss (Jfs.) ,"Jah" being the shortened form of God's name, such as appears in the expression "Hallelujah."The unusual spelling helps to avoid confusion with the first day of the month. An example where this shortened form of God's name should appear in the Scriptures can be found at Isaiah 12:2, which says "Look! God is my salvation. I will trust and feel no dread; For Jah Jehovah is my strength and my might, And he has become my salvation.” Another verse that all should perhaps know, that could help young ears to learn who "Jah" is, would be Psalm 106:1, which reads: "Praise Jah! Give thanks to Jehovah, for he is good; His loyal love endures forever." Putting God first is important in the development of a person, contributing to the quality of godly devotion, which involves a close personal attachment to God as a person. The very first of the Ten Commandments requires that we give God exclusive devotion, not worshiping anyone or anything else. This makes possible His blessing on us as individuals, and as a nation or people. This expression may also help us remain a strong but humble people before God and one another, promoting genuine peace and happiness. Godly devotion was recognized by many of those founding this country, as they sought to worship God more freely in accord with His word the Bible. It is God Himself who made possible the founding of such a nation, in spite of the imperfections and weaknesses of men, and we do well to rightly give Him credit for such achievements.
(8) LisnaJah (Lis.) While others qualities originally held this spot, an emerging realization of the need to underscore as essential God's word became a high priority. In fact, the Scriptures point out that obedience to God is what's needed to bring about the purity that's considered a primary aspect of divine wisdom (James 3:17). And such also contributes greatly to genuine peace. These qualities are vital to develop divine wisdom and happiness. This initially appeared one month later, but logically should be placed prior to the reminder to love Jehovah's ways, and even our all-important faith begins with hearing the word of Jehovah. (Romans 10:17).
(9) Jahswaylove (Jwl.)
, To advance appreciation for the superior loving ways of the true God Jehovah. While perhaps the most straightforward of month names, it may prove of great help to young ears who have much good to learn about the ways of God. However, a serious hindrance may be confusion with the name of the movie "JAWS"--this name may best become something else, like "TEETH" so as never to be a cause for confusion. Somehow let's correct this, so no child would ever be confused as to the loving personality of our Creator Jehovah.
After 4 weeks of each of these months, would come the third week of Humaneth, 15-21.
The concluding three months of Fall or Autumn might then be named:
(10) Autisciplince (Aut.) Our longest name, it carries an abbreviation appropriate for the beginning of Autumn. It’s meaning involves Self-discipline. How much better when we can correct ourselves to avoid wrongdoing, before others lovingly attempt to do so themselves! While we want to appreciate the appropriate efforts of others to offer correction where necessary, the development of this quality may enhance one’s life considerably.
(11) Goodsee (Gds.) After an early reminder to hope in God, we now may see much good from hard work and such faith as any remaining harvesting of crops takes place and we experience the fruitage of this work. This is a reminder of God’s blessing, and may cause appreciation and thankfulness to overflow within us.
(12) Loyalnes (Loy.) To round out the year, "loyal love" is a crowning goal and accomplishment, something all should strive for. The term loyalty has been chosen to best describe and remind us of the true "love" encouraged in God's word, at times translated "loyal love." The term "love" by itself is often applied in many different ways, which may contribute to confusion to the very young. This is the love spoken of in God's word that we are to have for God and fellow humans. As God has shown true loyal love to humans first, we are moved to reflect it to Him and others. Of God, Psalm 103:11 says: "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So great is his loyal love toward those [in awe of] him." And Proverbs 3:3 says "Do not let loyal love and faithfulness leave you. Tie them around your neck; Write them on the tablet of your heart." This loyal love should be shown to God first, then fellow humans, treating them in a beneficial way promoting their long-term happiness. This name thus carries such significance. "Loyal love" is the type of love highlighted throughout God's word that most closely identifies God Himself, in saying "God is love." (1John 4:8). Thus, when thinking of God, we might at times also think of this quality. Also, aspects of this quality appear in other month names, as described in 1Corinthians 13:4-8.For instance, love "hopes all things," it "rejoices with the truth," and it "does not rejoice over unrighteousness."Also, in saying "love is patient," the term can be associated with loyalty, as a loyal person can patiently put up with a disagreeable circumstance in a relationship, seeking God-approved ways to correct it, with blazing hope of a restored condition. That's loyal love! Most, if not all, of the values presented as month names find good order as qualities that make for fruitful activity and a positive contribution to society.
The concluding three months of Fall or Autumn might then be named:
(10) Autisciplince (Aut.) Our longest name, it carries an abbreviation appropriate for the beginning of Autumn. It’s meaning involves Self-discipline. How much better when we can correct ourselves to avoid wrongdoing, before others lovingly attempt to do so themselves! While we want to appreciate the appropriate efforts of others to offer correction where necessary, the development of this quality may enhance one’s life considerably.
(11) Goodsee (Gds.) After an early reminder to hope in God, we now may see much good from hard work and such faith as any remaining harvesting of crops takes place and we experience the fruitage of this work. This is a reminder of God’s blessing, and may cause appreciation and thankfulness to overflow within us.

After 4 weeks of each of these months, would come the fourth week of Humaneth, 22-28, 29 (proposed "Reflection"), and every fourth year, 30 (proposed "Quad Day")
CONCLUSION:
Isaiah 11:9 foretells the peace to prevail in life on the planet under God's Kingdom: "They will not cause any harm Or any ruin in all my holy mountain, Because the earth will certainly be filled with the knowledge of Jehovah As the waters cover the sea."
And let's especially remember and share Psalm 89:8 (3Psalm 17:8), which says "O Jehovah God of armies, Who is mighty like you, O Jah? Your faithfulness surrounds you" and Psalm 106:1 (4Psalm 17:1) "Praise Jah! Give thanks to Jehovah, for he is good; His loyal love endures forever." Alternatively, instead of the first one, Psalm 150:1 (5Psalm 44:1) helps make a significant connection, exhorting: "Praise Jah! Praise God in His holy place. Praise him in the [heavens declaring] his strength."
GOD’S INSTRUCTION.
It is strongly believed that if this arrangement of names is used, the children learning them will be more inclined toward genuine peace and happiness! Of course, this would still be with loving parental guidance and instruction. How much better to have month names with such meaning as it relates to the acquisition of divine wisdom and happiness! Of course, it is Jehovah God Himself who offers us instruction to develop heart appreciation for such qualities. May we not take them for granted, and encourage others to grow in their love for God and others. And may we perhaps enjoy the passing of time even more, as it proves to take place in a more orderly way. It is believed that such a change as this could take place following one year after this one concludes, beginning 2022, as already much has been planned by business and other organizations for the next year. For plans further out, charts and apps can be made to easily convert to the new format. At the latest, it could be recommended to start 2024, as the first day of that year is back around to Monday. But that is not necessary--2022 would work, as it is the number of the day of the year that must be maintained--not the days of the week, all of which will need to be adjusted with this new arrangement, but will be even easier to forecast going forward from the time it begins. Also, while correcting our calendar, God has indicated that the century omission of leap year or "Quad Day" need no longer be acknowledged--He intended an exact 365.25 day length year for planet Earth, not a complicated mathematical formula--the adjustment of 1 Quad Day every four years is sufficient. May we continue looking forward to the blessings of God’s Kingdom, and the happier lives we can live at that time with His blessing upon His people—all those cooperating with His will earth-wide!
