The Deaf Are Praising Jehovah

Now, many of the deaf are "hearing" the good news in sign language for the first time.  And those who could hear were seeing sign language for the first time are more than anxious to learn a new language so that more of those who are deaf can be reached. Concerted efforts are being made to teach the truths of God's Word to the millions who are hearing-impaired.  These too need to learn about the good news of the incoming new world under God's Kingdom, for there miraculous healing will occur and "the very ears of the deaf ones will be unstopped."-Isaiah 35:5. 

All the many things foretold in God’s Word of truth indicate that the time for world change is upon us right now! What we see going on throughout the world today in fulfillment of Bible prophecy shows that our time is the one that will see the destruction of this entire wicked system. Present-day governments will be removed to make way for the rule of all the earth by God’s government. (Daniel 2:44; Luke 21:31, 32) Nothing can stop this change, because God has purposed it.

TRUTH THAT LEADS TO ETERNAL LIFE

The coming world change will affect every person on the face of the earth, including you. If you love life and want to live, you should hasten to take in accurate knowledge of God, his purposes and his requirements. That is what God wants you to do, for it is his will that “all sorts of men should be saved and come to an accurate knowledge of truth.” (1 Timothy 2:4) Accurate knowledge from God’s Word of truth will enable honest-hearted persons to survive the end of the present wicked system. (Zephaniah 2:3) It will also reveal the way to eternal life in God’s grand new system. Jesus Christ said in prayer to God: “This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.”—John 17:3; see also John 4:14.

How encouraging it is to know that soon we will see the end of all the world’s troubles! How thrilling it is to know that we have the hope of shortly entering a new system where we can forever enjoy life to the full! This should give every one of us strong reasons for wanting to learn the truth from the Bible. By seeking this truth we begin to lay “a fine foundation for the future, in order [to] get a firm hold on the real life,” “eternal life” in God’s new system of things.—1 Timothy 6:19; AV.

Knowledge and wisdom are gifts from God for which we should be grateful.  Just believeing that one is saved for everlasting life just is not enough.  Each of us have the responsibility to learn for ourselves just what is required for everlasting life.  It would be a mistake on our part to assume that one is in line for everlasting life without looking into the Bible for make sure. Accurate knowledge of Jehovah helps us to “make sure of the more important things” and “to walk worthily of Jehovah to the end of fully pleasing him.” (Philippians 1:9-11; Colossians 1:9, 10)

Each of us have a responsibility to learn for ourselves so that members of our families can be properly taught - our mates - our children - our parents.
