Let's Examine the Scriptures Every Day 2022

Put on the full armor that God gives (Eph. 6:13).
"The Lord is faithful and he will strengthen you and protect you from the Evil One" (2 Thess. 3: 3). In what ways does Jehovah protect us? He gives us a spiritual armor that can protect us from Satan's attacks (Eph. 6: 13-17). This armor is strong and effective, but it will only protect us if we always wear all the parts. For example, the truth belt represents the truths found in God's Word, the Bible. Why should we wear it? Because Satan is "the father of lies" (John 8:44). He has been lying for thousands of years and has succeeded in deceiving "the whole inhabited earth" (Rev. 12: 9). But the truths of the Bible protect us from deception. How do we put on this belt? By learning the truth about Jehovah, worshiping him “with spirit and truth,” and behaving “in all honesty” (John 4:24; Eph. 4:25; Heb. 13:18). w21.03 26, 27 paras. 3-5
According to Isaiah 54:15, 17, why will no one be able to silence God's people?
The world, which is controlled by Satan, has many reasons to hate us. We are completely neutral and do not participate in wars. We make known the name of God, we proclaim that only his Kingdom will bring peace and we obey his just rules. We denounce that the ruler of this world is a liar and a ruthless murderer (John 8:44). And we announce that this system is about to be destroyed. But Satan and his people can never silence us. Rather, we will continue to praise Jehovah by all means possible. Although Satan is very powerful, he has failed to prevent the Kingdom message from reaching people all over the world. The only explanation is that Jehovah is protecting us. --Read Isaiah 54:15, 17.
How will Jehovah save his people during the great tribulation?
What will happen in the future? During the great tribulation, Jehovah will save us in two impressive ways. First, he will save his loyal servants when he causes “the kings of the earth” to destroy Babylon the Great, the collection of all the false religions of the world (Rev. 17: 16-18; 18: 2, 4). And second, he will save his people when he destroys the other elements of Satan's world at Armageddon (Rev. 7: 9, 10; 16:14, 16).
Why should we stay close to Jehovah?
As long as we are close to Jehovah, Satan cannot do us any permanent harm. In fact, he is the one who will be destroyed forever (Rom. 16:20). So let's put on full armor and never take it off. Let us not try to fight alone, let us support our brothers and follow Jehovah's orders. If we do so, we can be sure that our loving heavenly Father will strengthen and protect us (Isa. 41:10).
