| This World Is A Marketplace. by AngelahFlo(op): 5:04pm On Aug 16, 2025 |
Hello Guys, It was Jim Reeves who sang the famous "This world is not my home" just before his death. Truth is this world is a marketplace. It's a stage with everyone a character playing out his or her own script. Making sure their plot sends the right message to the audience. Soon the play will end. Every character will exit the stage and the curtains will drop signaling an end to the performance. Soon evening or nightime will come and everyone will close shop or exit the market after fulfilling the purpose that took them there. If your study the events unfolding in the world today. From the instability in the middle east saga to current world events every keen observer should know that the world as we know it today is grinding to a close. Jesus is wrapping things up as He prepares for His second coming. I know some people don't believe that the Lord will come back to take His people home as he outline in His Word but whether it's believed or not. The reality is that Jesus is coming soon and He's doing a final call to any Unsaved person to come to Him, be saved and thus escape the calamities that will befall the world. One pertinent reason why we must be alert and sober as we await Jesus' return is the subject of the Mark of the Beast. My fellow Nairalanders it won't be an easy affair at all. Think of what will happen to your money being frozen in the bank because you refused to take the mark. Think of the inability to buy, sell or even commute from place to place because you're a non marker and add to that the fact that you're now a renegade being hunted by the Law and being subject to betrayal from loved ones. The sad thing is you either be marked with the Beast's code number which is 666 and be allied to him or refuse and be subject to inhumane treatment culminating in death. This world is not our home. It's a marketplace. Come do your bit, fulfill purpose and above all make it right with Jesus. Give your life to Him and be saved. He's waiting with arms outstretched. He's waiting like the Father who stood on the highway looking out for his Prodigal son knowing full well that he must return home one day which finally became a reality. Be blessed and I pray that you heed this call and make it right before it's too late. |

This world is a place we'll all leave one day! Everything you all worship today did lived and stopped living! Only God lives eternally! |

In the Bible the people and this system of things is referred to as "the world" but our planet home (earth) is the place God created for humans to live forever! Psalms 37:9-11&29 compare to Matthew 5:5; Psalms 115:16 What God promised is to remove evildoers from the earth so that righteous ones may continue to live and enjoy it forever! Proverbs 2:20-22 |

MaxInDHouse:This will only happen after the great white throne Judgement and after God had done away with this Earth as it is and usher in a new Heaven and Earth. |
| Re: This World Is A Marketplace. by MaxInDHouse(m): 7:38pm On Aug 17, 2025 |
AngelahFlo:The New Heaven and New Earth is not a literal thing because God promised never to destroy our planet or harm all things on the earth again! Genesis 8:21-22 In fact He said this earth has been made to last for all eternity! Psalms 78:69; 104:5; 119:90; Ecclesiastes 1:4 The term New Heaven and New Earth is symbolic that's why Peter said it's like how God destroyed the earth in the time of Noah when ungodly people were cut off! 2Peter 3:5-7 |

MaxInDHouse:I think I see your point. The Earth and all that's in it at present has been corrupted by the devil in order to make it fit for His Children, God will have to do away with the things that make up this old earth, it's people and the god that controls it and remodel or remake the earth to conform with the original system He instituted in Genesis 1. |

MaxInDHouse:Concerning my recent post on the white throne Judgement? What's your contribution as regards that judgement and the Judgement Seat which is based on rewards. |

AngelahFlo:The planet can never be affected either by Satan, demons or evildoers the only creatures they can affect or infect are humans like you and i that's why God's word said: Keep silent before Jehovah And wait expectantly for him. Do not be upset by the man Who succeeds in carrying out his schemes. Let go of anger and abandon rage; Do not become upset and turn to doing evil. For evil men will be done away with, But those hoping in Jehovah will possess the earth. Just a little while longer, and the wicked will be no more; You will look at where they were, And they will not be there. But the meek will possess the earth, And they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace. Psalms 37:7-11 That's what Jesus promised us when he asked us to pray for God's Kingdom to come so that God's will will be done in planet earth as it's been done in Heaven! Matthew 6:10 |

AngelahFlo:I've not seen what exactly you posted there but i will try to look into it! |
| Re: This World Is A Marketplace. by AngelahFlo(op): 11:43pm On Aug 17, 2025 |
MaxInDHouse:I get your point. When the people are corrupt, they affect the planet as well. Everything o n the planet today is subject to decay. The Earth ain't as fertile as it used to be. Haven't you noticed that the quality of things have dropped. Man made pollution have brought about a dearth in the quality of livestock, marine life and plants. So when God removes the evildoers and assign them their place after the White Throne Judgement, He'll restore the Earth to its original design and quality.

AngelahFlo:Regarding the damage man has done to his home God said: "A generation is going, and a generation is coming, But the earth remains forever" Ecclesiastes 1:4 But talking about the condition of our planet home presently this is what God promised: Let peoples praise you, O God; Let all the peoples praise you. The earth will give its produce; God, our God, will bless us. God will bless us, And all the ends of the earth will fear him. Psalms 67:5-7 When the earth is filled with only those who know God's will we are going to renovate the planet and God Himself will give us His blessings so that Paradise will be restored in no time. That is why all members of Jehovah's Witnesses must know how to work on the field because at that time there will be no more slavery so if you want to live in Paradise you must learn farming now! Isaiah 65:21-23 |

MaxInDHouse:Up to the point of learning to farm I beg to farm cos my bible tells me That I shall know even as I am known. In our glorified bodies, we will have an enhanced mind enabling us to know things on a level we don't yet operate now. When you study Adam our progenitor before he fell, he operated on a level far more enviable than man now operates. He was made in the image and likeness of God and he operated on that level that he was able to name all the animals both land and marine animals exactly what God had in mind. As if that want enough when God put him to sleep and took out one of his ribs to create a woman for Adam, he knew immediately that she was taken out of him and as such he called her Woman. What Adam lost at the fall is what will be restored to us in our glorified bodies. We shall be changed not just physically but in all aspects. So we don't have to learn farming to be able to use the knowledge in our new home. |

AngelahFlo:What primary assignment did God give Adam in the garden home where He put him? Genesis 1:28 ; 2:5-9 |
| Re: This World Is A Marketplace. by AngelahFlo(op): 9:03pm On Aug 20, 2025 |
MaxInDHouse:It was to tend and keep the garden but that doesn't mean that we have to learn farming on this earth to use the skill there. Adam wasn't taught how to farm. He already knew how to tend the garden which was what he was doing. So when we get to Paradise, we will use our intuitive knowledge of farming and how to tend the land in the new earth. Hope you're getting me? |

AngelahFlo:Well this is what my own copy of the Bible says: They will build houses and dwell in them; they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit. No longer will they build houses and others live in them, or plant and others eat. For as the days of a tree, so will be the days of my people; my chosen ones will long enjoy the work of their hands. They will not labor in vain, nor will they bear children doomed to misfortune; for they will be a people blessed by the Lord, they and their descendants with them. Isaiah 65:21-23 NIV So we will plant what we are going to eat since we still have 1,000 years to learn in Paradise {Revelations 20:5-6} before Jesus hand over rulership of mankind back to his father and God {1Corinthans 15:26-28} that is what Jesus called 'judgment day' {Matthew 11:24} during that 1,000 years Adamic sin has been removed so no oldage, sickness or death anymore because God will remove all that due to Jesus' sacrificial blood {Isaiah 33:24} but whoever refuse to learn what true Christians are teaching throughout the earth that time won't be spared like we have now instead God will allow such individuals to exist for 100 years after resurrection and die as a youth! Isaiah 65:20 At that time whenever anyone dies we will not mourn because we know it's angels that killed him or her for refusal to accept Christianity since there won't be excuses anymore as only Jehovah's Witnesses will be known globally as Christians because Satan has been locked up so no more criticism again pure worship and whoever wants to start any other religion after knowing that it's the God of Jehovah's Witnesses that brought him or her back will die within 100 years. So there is still a lot to learn in Paradise by those who aren't Jehovah's Witnesses today. We must teach them but by then it will be easy because there won't be any religion criticizing us like today. That's what Jesus meant when he said it will be easier for those that died in Noah's time as well as inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah in judgment day {Matthew 10:15} because when they are resurrected they will humbly listen to what we are teaching since they've had such experience before but those who never had such experiences may find it hard to believe that God could establish just one religion commissioned to save mankind. |

MaxInDHouse:Concerning the bolded I don't agree. Concerning the rest of these comment, I'm gonna build my case after doing some research based on the commentary. |
| Re: This World Is A Marketplace. by MaxInDHouse(m): 4:52am On Aug 21, 2025 |
AngelahFlo:I didn't type for anyone to agree what i'm doing is explaining my beliefs. I believe there is only one God, His name is Jehovah. He introduced one man as a model for us to learn His qualities by carefully observing the words, thoughts and actions of this man his name is Jesus and Jesus selected twelve imperfect men who will continue his work of teaching all faithful people throughout the world. This pattern will never change if it's still the same God. So Jehovah is our God, Jesus Christ is our light bearer and the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses is the little group our God is using to gather the other sheep Jesus foretold in our time! John 10:16 Whoever knows and agrees with this is my BROTHER in the faith but whoever disagrees is my NEIGHBOR today. The difference between my NEIGHBOR and my BROTHER is that i'm related to my BROTHER so we worship and pray together {Matthew 12:46-50; John 20:17} but as for my NEIGHBOR we live together as contemporaries so we do neighborly things {Luke 10:30-37} without having anything sacred to do together. Thanks for your time! |

This present earth and heaven will be totally wiped of, there will not be any trace of it left at all. However, God will create a totally new one in which only those who are righteous (the righteousness that is from Jesus Chris will dwell. Before the destruction of the new heavens and earth, Jesus will reign in this old one for a thousand year and fulfill all the remaining prophecy of this earth. Satan would be bound, Jesus will restore the adamic paradise on earth, humans will live very long time but there will still be death, The nation of Israel would be restored, all those of his servants who had loses on earth due to following him would be compensated, Jesus would appoint those Christians who are worthy to govern the earth they will rule according to Jesus laws and decrees. No sinner would ever get any position of power again, sin shall have instantaneous judgment, alot of prophecies will be fulfilled, and at the same time angelic judgment would be going on, for the Saint will be the ones handling it. Jesus will rule with an iron rod during the millennium but after it ends Satan would be released again and he will deceive the unsaved people and they will try to take over the holy city but will meet their abrupt end. After then this the whole universe would be destroyed and removed out of existence and at the same time the white throne judgment would take place. |

Steep:Exactly what i'm saying. Just that you don't want to quote the scriptures to show where all these could be found but it's OK since the same holy ghost is teaching all of unah! |
| Re: This World Is A Marketplace. by AngelahFlo(op): 7:17pm On Aug 22, 2025 |
MaxInDHouse:If that's your opinion, I'll only try to make it plain to you but I'll just let you know this. The people who'll rule with Jesus in the millemial reign will be saints and that your group and others who qualify to reign with Jesus when that time comes. Thanks for your time and be at peace. |

AngelahFlo:No single none Jehovah's Witnesses can go to heaven if you care to understand i will be willing to explain but if not i'm OK! |
| Re: This World Is A Marketplace. by AngelahFlo(op): 7:30pm On Aug 22, 2025 |
Maximus692:I don't wanna go down a path the Word of God hasn't led me. What you're saying does not align with what the Bible says. I'm a witness to The Word and I'm guided by it. If I tow this path, it'll be a never ending argument so just know that you're wrong on that summation. The saints are the ones who'll make heaven and that includes all who do His will on earth. That's what my bible tells me |
| Re: This World Is A Marketplace. by MaxInDHouse(m): 7:40pm On Aug 22, 2025 |
AngelahFlo:It's OK i'm not here to agree with anyone because if you are not one of Jehovah's Witnesses you're not my brother in faith it's only when a fellow Jehovah's Witness disagree with me that i will feel something needs to be done but as for you there is no reason to agree in the first place after all you're not one of Jehovah's Witnesses! |
