In the first century Jesus' disciples correlated so many prophecies to their founder and their group. This was what keep annoying the other religious groups in Israel even though they knew that prophecies must have fulfilments they just don't want to agree that all those prophecies are pointing to Jesus and his disciples.
So i wish you could find a better and more fitting Interpretation of those verses but until then i will hold the Interpretation i know for now!

that is not the way to interpret Bible. I will try to find what that place is referring to very soon.

This is what it say really

Micah 4:3
King James Version
3 And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

Here is the meaning

Verse Thoughts
The first half of Micah, warns of God's wrath against Judah and Israel because of their sin. Micah denounced their ungodly rulers, false prophets, and rogue priests, but also predicted the doom of the wealthy nations that oppressed His people. How sad that God's chosen nation broke their covenant with the Lord and did so much evil in His sight. Yet by God's grace, their stumbling has brought salvation to the Gentiles.

The mid-section in Micah, begins to describe the glories to come at the time of the end. It speaks of the day when Christ will set up His Millennial Kingdom on earth. It proclaims many mighty promises concerning the advent of the Messiah when God's kingdom of heaven-on-earth will be firmly established. What a comfort to know that despite their gross apostasy, the Lord remains faithful to the covenant promises He made to His people.

It is in this middle section that Micah tells of the coming Millennial Kingdom of Christ. He describes it as a time when God's downtrodden people will finally be acknowledge and praised by the nations of the world. Micah labels the holy city of Jerusalem in the nation of Israel as, "the mountain of the Lord." He prophesied that the holy city of Zion would be lifted up and exalted above all other cities.

The hatred and antisemitism that has spread like a cancer throughout the world will cease, as Gentiles stream to Jerusalem to worship the Lord and cry, "Come and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord. Let us go to the house of the God of Jacob."

In this mid-section, Micah is speaking of the time when Jesus Christ will rule and reign as King of kings and Lord of the whole earth. "He will judge between many peoples," during His coming millennial rule. "He will render decisions for mighty, distant nations."

During the time of the judges, the people of Israel rejected God as their King and during His earthly ministry, they rejected Jesus as King. But during Christ's coming reign of peace and prosperity, Jesus will sit on David's throne and rule the world in justice and in righteousness. Princes of mighty nations will submit to His authority and bring disputes to Him for judgement.

This will be a time when wars and disputes between opposing nations will cease and weapons of war, like swords and spear.. and maybe tanks and armoured vehicles will be refashioned into productive tools and hammered into valuable instruments that will benefit the whole of mankind.

Micah was a contemporary of Isaiah and both prophets warned of the destruction of the northern and southern kingdoms of Israel and Judah. But both also prophesied of the time of the Messiah, when, "nations will hammer their swords into ploughshares and will fashion their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, and never again will they train for war."

For millennia, man has sought to create Utopia and bring in a time of peace and prosperity for all. Over multiple centuries, governments and groups have attempted to unite the world into a one-world government, where world peace dominates the entire globe and all nations live in perfect harmony. But this ideal can never be achieved, for man is imputed with sin and is innately a sinner. God alone can achieve heaven on earth and provide peace and goodwill to all men.

Despite having rejected the God Who created them and having refused His gracious offer of salvation by grace through faith in Christ, man has continued on his foolish quest to establish his own form of peace into this world at war. Today, some words from this verse in both Isaiah and Micah... which were penned so many centuries ago, has been etched into a wall at the United Nations, and a statue depicting the transformation of a sword into a ploughshare proudly stands outside their buildings, but in their arrogant attempt to fulfil what only God can accomplish, they failed to read the verse in context.

Peace without God is the objective of the arrogant United Nations. But peace without God is impossible. Only when Christ comes to rule and reign on earth will the full force of Micah's prophecy be fulfilled. For only when JESUS judges between many peoples and renders decisions for mighty, distant nations - only THEN they will hammer their swords into ploughshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Only then will nation not lift up sword against nation, and never again will they train for war.

that is not the way to interpret Bible. I will try to find what that place is referring to very soon.

What does Matthew 5:14 mean?


In the previous verse, Jesus compared His disciples to salt (Matthew 5:13). Now He compares them to light. He calls them the "light of the world," in fact. Light was a crucial symbol in the Jewish worldview. Just as Greek culture prized knowledge, or Roman culture valued glory, or modern American culture touts freedom, Hebrew culture's ideal standard was light. This concept factors heavily in biblical explanations of godliness and truth (Proverbs 4:18–19; Matthew 4:16; John 8:12; 2 Corinthians 4:6).

Spiritually speaking, there is no light in the world apart from Jesus Christ. His light, though, shines through every person who belongs to Him. In this way, the light of Christ is distributed into the darkness in every corner of humanity. That this light is meant to be visible to the world is also important. Jesus adds to this metaphor by referring to a city positioned on top of a hill. It is not meant to be hidden; a city on a hill is meant to be seen and found even in the darkness of night. During the time of Christ, the walls around a city on a hill were often made from white limestone, which would be relatively easy to see, even on a dim night.

In the same way, the light of Christ is not meant to be hidden on the earth. It is meant to shine out brightly from all who belong to Christ. It is meant to be discovered, in this way, by those still in the darkness. Jesus will add to this point in the following verse that Christ's light should not be covered up in the lives of His followers. It is meant to be seen.
The light which is their good character is meant to be seen they should follow Jesus commandment and be far from sin etc

Nancy2020:
why are JW hall window so high up.

Actually some don't have even windows

Hints on rumor
but here are several reasons I have found:

to avoid distractions
to save on heating and cooling
to better protect the buildings and the against vandalism
to increase the mind control


Or

This is not about secrecy, but for security reasons in some regions. They want to avoid opponents vandalze or damage their halls. However, they leverage that fear by quoting a verse that Jesus’ true followers will be persecuted. Ha. Proof, they claim JW’s are the true followers.. -mind understand lol the missing logic:

Hey Y'all why the hate of JW's?

These are Sincere, Peace loving and law abiding people who strive to live by Bible standards.

BIBLESPEAKS:

Hey Y'all why the hate of JW's?

There problem is that they keep seeing God's standard raised up so high in the midst of His people {Micah 4:1} and as they can't decipher how come this is happening to a religion that's standing out as no part of them {John 15:19; 17:14} they are puzzled so they choose to speak abusively of us! 1Peter 4:4

Jesus has already forewarned us {Matthew 10:16} so we are not surprised!

and you will be hated by all people because of my name. But not even a hair of your heads will perish. By your endurance you will preserve your lives. Luke 21:17-19
They're thinking they belong to our Master, Lord and King but they've been blinded by Satan that's why they hate us with passion.
So since we know that they have misdirected zeal and lacking in accurate knowledge of truth {Romans 10:2-3} all we can do is to keep praying for them {Matthew 4:44} perhaps they'll have a rethink over what they're doing to us! Luke 23:34 compare to 7:60

These are Sincere, Peace loving and law abiding people who strive to live by Bible standards.

Matthew 5:13-16

Bishopkingsley:

No JW said that.
Where we disagree with you is imposing your TRINITY on us. Jesus is the Saviour of all faithful servant of God but it's not by his own power {John 8:28} rather it's his Father who is the real Saviour since He is the one who gave us Jesus out of His loving kindness {John 3:16} so Jesus is the sacrificial lamb through whom all of us are saved! Revelations 7:14

So you're the one blinded by Satan' doctrines! 2Corinthians 4:4

It is not just correlation, they are prophecies about Jesus himself and what he is going to do said ahead of time.

But in the case of the organization you belong

1. Where was it ever said and stated in the scripture that Russell is the messenger preparing the way for Jesus christ in 1914?....... Using Malachi 3 as back up.

The above is an example of your leaders reading scriptures and interpretation to fit prepared agenda

2. Where was it ever stated in the scripture that the gospel age had 7 messengers starting with Paul and ending with Russell the seventh and last?

The above too is an example of your leaders reading scriptures and interpretation to fit prepared agenda.

This was what keep annoying the other religious groups in Israel even though they knew that prophecies must have fulfilments they just don't want to agree that all those prophecies are pointing to Jesus and his disciples.... Max

It is not about annoying people. It is about propagating what is not scriptural and expecting people to swallow it hook line and sinker and accepting it as the TRUTH that leads to everlasting life.

At that I fell down before his feet to worship him. But he tells me: “Be careful! Do not do that! I am only a fellow slave of you and of your brothers who have the work of witnessing concerning Jesus.Worship God!For the witness concerning Jesus is what inspires prophecy.”

Jesus came to fulfill the law and the prophets

BIBLESPEAKS:
Hey Y'all why the hate of JW's?

These are Sincere, Peace loving and law abiding people who strive to live by Bible standards.....

Do you agree the above applies to other Christian denominations apart from the religious organization you belong? Or they are all

LIE LIE CHRISTIANS.... pidgin English from here you are communicating hatred already.

Whatever your response is, this statement of yours above Y'all why the hate of JW's? is a repercussion or consequence of the actions and inactions of that organization.

You're so much in love with Jehovah's witnesses.
You've spent so much time speaking about them more than your Lord Jesus.
It's an obvious interest in US

I was arguing with a jehovah witness guy sometimes last month, he opposed some certain doctrines, though he knew the scripture to an extent but not deep enough, I was able to help him understand the scripture he thought he knew, you need know the scripture to an extent before you argue with these people cause they can argue. Yes they study the scriptures but they don't have the real deep understanding, the rhema.

Maxindhouse do you have anything to say about this?

Now thats the spirit of antiChrist.

Answer
You are wrong check my post or topic i focus on Jesus our lord God Almighty

But if a JW comes to doubt my words I stand up for the word of God so I speak and engage with them to bring them to Repentance

You obviously do not want to say the truth about who God is that why you feel I am in love with them that sounds so absurd

Scriptures said many went ahead of us the many who don't know Christ they thought the wrong thing but Jesus came to bring life and to bring it to the full our job is to write the wrongs the false teachers say

So my ministry is to teach people who God is and it is not in line with Jehovah witness view they are the ones who challenge me and I will always correct them

Don't be offended if you are a part of them because I will pull down every single doctrine they speak against my father

Don't be offended by my words because I am an oracle of God

Nuttella:

JWs acknowledged both Father (JEHOVAH) and Son (JESUS CHRIST) so you've got nothing tangible to say against JWs!

Nancy2020:

Don't mind him let him keep looking for seven men to lead him in a cult group lol a lost soul always refuses the true God looking for mere man to save him in a group

Performing group lol that weird a lost soul is a lost soul just watch as he will say JW is his Savior soon

Can I ask you a very simple question? It’s not something you have to think about so I believe you can easily give an answer.

Bishopkingsley:

There is a word misconstrued for WORSHIP:

"OBEISANCE" it simply means total submission to someone's order!

In that respect we are fully prepared to obey all the instructions Jesus ordered but WORSHIP? NO! NO!! NO!!!

See wahala for misinformed churchgoer!

You quoted:

Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son. 1John 2:22

Then you wish to accuse a global family of peace loving worshipers, and i told you they acknowledge the Father and Son, now you're drifting off to another thing entirely!

My friend, you can never find anything against JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES!

Whether you like it or not JEHOVAH has approved this group so whoever is criticizing them is doing himself or herself the greatest harm! Zechariah 2:8 compare to Matthew 10:14-15

Nuttella:
Yes please?

Please can I find out the name of your church? What’s my reason for asking?

Nuttella:
Yes they study the scriptures but they don't have the real deep understanding

Earlier you alluded to the fact that Witnesses know and study the Scriptures but you also said they don’t have the real deep understanding.

So my question is, what is the name of your church where all its members,
1. Know and study the Scriptures.
2. Have deep understanding of the Scriptures?
And here’s a bonus question for you
3. Are people who are known to live and abide by the standards found in the Scriptures to the extent that outsiders would notice their good works and fine conduct? 1Peter 2:12


It’s just a straightforward question so please and please, do me the honors of giving an answer.

JW teaches rightly that God’s name is Jehovah and should be worshiped , but they teach wrongly that Jesus is not Jehovah and they say he should not be worshiped that he is , not God.

Thus, they do not witness to the true Jehovah, the great Three-in-One described in Scripture, but rather to a Jehovah constructed from a misunderstanding of the Bible and from their own thinking. Their New World “Translation” changes key verses showing Jesus is Jehovah, one with the Father.

Let look at the dishonesty of this mistranslation in the new world translation and the difficulty of trying to speak about the Lord Jesus to someone in this seven men organization JW because of it.

But we also saw that even their “version” shows Jesus as THE one true Shepherd, the owner of the sheep — and also shows Jehovah as the true Shepherd, thus demonstrating that Jesus is Jehovah.

In part two we looked at Psalm 110 in the New World “Translation,” which says that Jesus, on the throne with the Father, is “at the right hand” but in verse five names the One at the right hand as Jehovah. Thus, Jesus is clearly named as Jehovah, just as the Father is.

Psalm 110
4 Jehovah has sworn an oath, and he will not change his mind:*
“You are a priest forever+
In the manner of Mel·chizʹe·dek!”+
5 Jehovah will be at your right hand;+
He will crush kings on the day of his anger.+
Another new world translation showing Jesus is Jehovah below

Matthew 28:19 (New World “Translation”)

Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit,
This is quite simple. This instruction to baptise is accurately translated by the “Jehovah’s Witnesses” (though they wrongly dishonour the Holy Spirit by using lower-case).

The verse does not say to baptise in the “names” but the “Name.” It directly links that Name to each of three Beings with the words “of the.” “Of the Son” and “of the Holy Spirit” can refer only to that same “Name.” Jesus could have said “names” but He didn’t — “name” is singular, which tells us the Three all have the same Name.

Any “Jehovah’s Witness” can tell you — the Father’s Name is Jehovah, and Jesus makes clear that His Name is also Jehovah (as is the Spirit’s). When born, He was given another Name, Jesus (as Saviour), and He was also called Lord, Christ, and Immanuel. But His name before birth, through all eternity, always was and remains Jehovah.

Side note: The reference to only one name in this passage helps explain why there is no contradiction with Acts 2:38 and 19:5, where baptism is in the name of Jesus. When we baptise in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost (or Holy Spirit) we baptise in a single name. To baptise in the name of the Three is to baptise in the name of One of the Three, as well. Thus there is no contradiction between a passage that says to baptise in the name of all Three and a passage that says to baptise in the name of One of the Three.

The “Jehovah’s Witnesses” have no explanation for the difference between Matthew and Acts, but the fact that Father, Son, and Spirit are One and bear the same Name removes any confusion.
