And speaking of "seasons of joy"...

Psalm 1:1-3

"Happy is the man who does not walk according to the advice of the wicked

And does not stand on the path of sinners

And does not sit in the seat of scoffers.

But his delight is in the law of Jehovah,

And he reads His law in an undertone day and night.

He will be like a tree planted by streams of water,

A tree that produces fruit in its season,

The foliage of which does not wither.

And everything he does will succeed."

Romans 13:11,12

"Love does not work evil to one’s neighbor; therefore, love is the law’s fulfillment. And do this because you know the season, that it is already the hour for you to awake from sleep, for now our salvation is nearer than at the time when we became believers. The night is well along; the day has drawn near. Let us therefore throw off the works belonging to darkness and let us put on the weapons of the light."

Matthew 13:30

"Let both grow together until the harvest, and in the harvest season, I will tell the reapers: First collect the weeds and bind them in bundles to burn them up; then gather the wheat into my storehouse.’"

(The harvest season is near. That will be a great cause for joy. Happy Sukkot!)

John 10:22-28

"At that time the Festival of Dedication took place in Jerusalem. It was wintertime, and Jesus was walking in the temple in the colonnade of Solʹo·mon. Then the Jews surrounded him and began to say to him: “How long are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.” Jesus answered them: “I told you, and yet you do not believe. The works that I am doing in my Father’s name, these bear witness about me. But you do not believe, because you are not my sheep. My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them everlasting life, and they will by no means ever be destroyed, and no one will snatch them out of my hand."

It's not quite the time of the "Festival of Dedication" but since this is Sukkot, the season for joy, and this song is joyous...

KalebOutWest, you forgot to mention that I also included Einstein in my posts. I chose Jews in my illustrations out of regard for your professed background, in order to better reach your heart, if, in fact, you still have one.

Your photo of Eva Braun was not a very good illustration. She was Hitler's mistress. I am not surprised you would choose such an illustration, because you have already shown that you hate Jews and you hate Jesus and you get everything backwards just like the forefathers you profess to descend from.

John 8:42-50

"Jesus said to them: “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and I am here. I have not come of my own initiative, but that One sent me. Why do you not understand what I am saying? Because you cannot listen to my word. You are from your father the Devil, and you wish to do the desires of your father. That one was a murderer when he began, and he did not stand fast in the truth, because truth is not in him. When he speaks the lie, he speaks according to his own disposition, because he is a liar and the father of the lie. Because I, on the other hand, tell you the truth, you do not believe me. Who of you convicts me of sin? If I speak truth, why is it that you do not believe me? The one who is from God listens to the sayings of God. This is why you do not listen, because you are not from God.” In answer the Jews said to him: “Are we not right in saying, ‘You are a Sa·marʹi·tan and have a demon’?”Jesus answered: “I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me. But I am not seeking glory for myself; there is One who is seeking and judging.""

Jesus was Jewish. He is my Lord. I am not "antisemitic". I am a Jew. You are much mistaken, KalebOutWest.

Luke 22:19,20

"...he took a loaf, gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to them, saying: “This means my body, which is to be given in your behalf. Keep doing this in remembrance of me.” Also, he did the same with the cup after they had the evening meal, saying: “This cup means the new covenant by virtue of my blood, which is to be poured out in your behalf.""

Ephesians 5:23

"...the Christ is head of the congregation, he being a savior of this body..."

Revelation 21:2

"I also saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God and prepared as a bride adorned for her husband."

Revelation 21:9

"One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls that were full of the seven last plagues came and said to me: “Come, and I will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife.”"

Song of Solomon 8:7

"Surging waters cannot extinguish love,

Nor can rivers wash it away."

I am nobody's "mistress". I have been loyal to my Lord, the Christ.

KalebOutWest, it's still Sukkot, a Jewish holiday that commands joy. You never did tell me which was your favorite Hallel Psalm? I know you are singing them all this week, so here is another one of my favorites to add to your joy...

Psalm 116

"I love Jehovah

Because he hears my voice, my pleas for help.

For he inclines his ear to me,

And I will call on him as long as I live.

The ropes of death encircled me;

The Grave had me in its grip.

I was overcome by distress and grief.

But I called on the name of Jehovah:

“O Jehovah, rescue me!”

Jehovah is compassionate and righteous;

Our God is merciful.

Jehovah is guarding the inexperienced.

I was brought low, and he saved me.

Let my soul rest once again,

For Jehovah has dealt kindly with me.

You have rescued me from death,

My eye from tears, my foot from stumbling.

I will walk before Jehovah in the land of the living.

I had faith, for I spoke;

I was greatly afflicted.

As for me,

I panicked and said:

“Every man is a liar.”

With what will I repay Jehovah

For all the good he has done for me?

I will take up the cup of salvation,

And I will call on the name of Jehovah.

I will pay my vows to Jehovah

In the presence of all his people.

Costly in the eyes of Jehovah

Is the death of his loyal ones.

I beg you, O Jehovah,

For I am your servant.

I am your servant, the son of your slave girl.

You have freed me from my bonds.

I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving;

I will call on the name of Jehovah.

I will pay my vows to Jehovah

In the presence of all his people,

In the courtyards of the house of Jehovah,

In your midst, O Jerusalem.

Praise Jah!"

(In case there was anyone else wondering about Damascus...)

Duran said: "Has this prophecy ever been fulfilled, yes or no?
Isaiah 17:1 A pronouncement against Damascus:“Look! Damascus will cease to be a city, And it will become a heap of ruins."

Jehovah foretold that Jericho would be torn down...

Joshua 6:2-5

"Jehovah then said to Joshua: “See, I have handed over to you Jerʹi·cho and its king and its mighty warriors. All you fighting men should march around the city, going around the city once. That is what you should do for six days. Have seven priests carry seven ram’s horns before the Ark. But on the seventh day, you should march around the city seven times and the priests should blow the horns. When the ram’s horn is sounded—as soon as you hear the sound of the horn—all the people should shout a great war cry. Then the wall of the city will fall down flat, and the people must go up, each one straight ahead.”

Later, Jericho was rebuilt...

1 Kings 16:34

"In his days, Hiʹel the Bethʹel·ite rebuilt Jerʹi·cho."

Jehovah foretold the destruction of the ancient city of Damascus, which happened around 732 BCE...

Isaiah 17:1

"A pronouncement against Damascus: “Look! Damascus will cease to be a city, And it will become a heap of ruins."

Later, Damascus was rebuilt, and the Bible mentions it numerous times in the New Testament, just like it mentions the rebuilt city of Jericho...

Acts 9:22

"But Saul kept on acquiring more and more power and was confounding the Jews who lived in Damascus, as he proved logically that this is the Christ."

Duran said: "Has this prophecy ever been fulfilled, yes or no?
Isaiah 17:1 A pronouncement against Damascus:“Look! Damascus will cease to be a city, And it will become a heap of ruins."

Yes, it has been fulfilled, and it will continue to be fulfilled, because Jehovah's Word always comes true.

Isaiah 55:6-11

"Search for Jehovah while he may be found.

Call to him while he is near.

Let the wicked man leave his way

And the evil man his thoughts;

Let him return to Jehovah, who will have mercy on him,

To our God, for he will forgive in a large way.

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts,

And your ways are not my ways,” declares Jehovah.

“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,

So my ways are higher than your ways

And my thoughts than your thoughts.

For just as the rain and the snow pour down from heaven

And do not return there until they saturate the earth,

making it produce and sprout,

Giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater,

So my word that goes out of my mouth will be.

It will not return to me without results,

But it will certainly accomplish whatever is my delight,

And it will have sure success in what I send it to do."

Exodus 5:2

"But Pharʹaoh said: “Who is Jehovah, that I should obey his voice to send Israel away? I do not know Jehovah at all, and what is more, I will not send Israel away."

Duran said: "Who is the only true God and how have I ridiculed him?"

You answered well, Duran, when you asked "who is the only true God" because you do not know him, and neither do you want to right now, just like Pharaoh didn't want to know Him.

Matthew 16:2-4

"In reply he said to them: “When evening falls, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is fire-red,’ and in the morning, ‘It will be wintry, rainy weather today, for the sky is fire-red but gloomy.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but the signs of the times you cannot interpret. A wicked and adulterous generation keeps seeking a sign, but no sign will be given it except the sign of Joʹnah.” With that he went away, leaving them behind."

@Duran - since you don't believe in prophecy, why are you asking me about it? If you have already closed your heart to the possibility that there is a person more intelligent than you who you cannot see, then nothing I say can change your mind. Some people are open to the idea of intelligent life forms elsewhere in the universe, but can't comprehend the idea that those intelligent life forms would have morals higher than most humans. Some people are open to the idea that intelligent life forms elsewhere in the universe can make a space ship but not write a book. 🤣🤣🤣

Whatever.

@nicolaou, if you are not in any pain because of your conscience, then why are you here on a thread about "Encouraging Scriptures"? Did you get bored of cowardly attacking Lloyd Evans from the shadows on the other thread? Maybe he's a bully and maybe he's not, but if he is, why would you want to imitate him? Bullies typically only want to pick on people who can't defend themselves or those they perceive to be weaker than them. Was it time for you to go pick on "the Bible Thumpers" because you needed some more "supply"? Kosonen's never done anything to hurt you. You have no desire to learn about the scriptures. Why don't you back off?

Genesis is historical. You weren't there. Jesus was there.

John 8:54-58

"Jesus answered: “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, the one who you say is your God. Yet you have not known him, but I know him. And if I said I do not know him, I would be like you, a liar. But I do know him and am observing his word. Abraham your father rejoiced greatly at the prospect of seeing my day, and he saw it and rejoiced.” Then the Jews said to him: “You are not yet 50 years old, and still you have seen Abraham?” Jesus said to them: “Most truly I say to you, before Abraham came into existence, I have been.”"

Duran said: "@EasyPrompt
Other than saying, 'you believe', 'you think', 'you feel', what proof is there that Jesus is alive or ever even existed at all?"

EasyPrompt said: "Jesus is alive."
KalebOutWest said: "Oh yeah? Prove it."

I am shy by nature. When I see you picking on people, it isn't of my own self that I get strength to speak up. It's from Jesus that I get strength. You can believe what you want. He is my friend and my companion. He's been there for me when I had to deal with oppressive hypocritical elder bullies, when I've had to deal with physical abuse, and he's there for me when I see intellectual bullies trying to crush Jehovah's friends for no reason except that they delight in attempting to take away something that they don't have.

2 Corinthians 12:9,10

"Most gladly, then, I will boast about my weaknesses, in order that the power of the Christ may remain over me like a tent. So I take pleasure in weaknesses, in insults, in times of need, in persecutions and difficulties, for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am powerful."

You would be wise to turn around and stop harassing Jesus' friends.
