Q1. Is there only one God?

The Almighty God has appropriated to himself and declared his name to be Jehovah, which signifies the "Self-Existing One" or "The Immortal One." Thus we read his declaration to Moses, saying: "I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac and unto Jacob by the name of God Almighty [the superior or most mighty God], but by my name Jehovah was I not known to them." (Exod. 6:3) By this name, Jehovah, God was thereafter recognized amongst his people. The name is used hundreds of times throughout the Old Testament, but is covered, in a large degree, from the English reader, through an error of the translators, who have rendered it "LORD." It can, however, be recognized readily, being always printed in small capitals when used to translate their sacred name, Jehovah.

It is mandatory for respective employers to take ownership of the body before getting the government’s p...

Cannot Come Down

"I am doing a great work,"   says Nehemiah,   "so that I cannot come down: why should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you?"   (Nehemiah 6:3).      Yahuwah's people should not relax their watchfulness, or their vigilance, for one moment. Satan is upon our track. He is determined to overcome Yahuwah's commandment-keeping people with his temptations. If we give no place to the Devil, but resist his devices, steadfast in the faith, we shall have strength to depart from all iniquity. Those who keep the commandments of Yahuwah will be a power in the land, if they live up to their light and their privileges. They may be patterns of piety, holy in heart and in conversation. We shall not have ease, that we may cease watchfulness and prayer. As the time draws near for Yahushua to be revealed in the clouds of heaven, Satan's temptations will be brought to bear with greater power upon those who keep Yahuwah's commandments; for he knows t...
