4. How do we benefit from viewing Jehovah as the living God? The conviction that Jehovah is a living God helps to serve further, despite the hardships of persecution, poverty, persecution by the authorities, problems in meetings due to a lawless person (someone acting in the temple of God just before the end of the age of the devil, will infect everyone with a hidden form of idolatry, hypocrisy and pharisaism and equates himself with Jehovah - 2 Thess.21-4; Rev. 9:1 and 1:20). There is evidence in our lives that Jehovah is alive and real, and that He takes part in our lives. For example, it was He who motivated us to learn about Christ and become His servants (John 6:44). And if we did not run away from our meetings because of difficulties, and if we did not renounce God during the persecution, *then it is Jehovah who helps us find strength.*
1. What helps Jehovah’s people to keep worshipping him despite the problems they face? We live in difficult times. In addition to the difficulties that all people face today, Jehovah's people also face persecution and oppression from the authorities of this world, as well as difficulties in meetings due to the predicted appearance of the lawless one, who increasingly equates himself with God and compulsively imposes the requirement to obey himself as God (2 Thess.2:1-4; Rev. 9:1 and 1:20 + watch the book *"Organized", Appendix on page 189,* 14 question for those who want to be baptized) What helps us to continue serving God despite the problems? We are helped by the conviction that *all this was predicted* and the belief that we serve the living God.
15. What lesson can we learn from what happened to the Israelites in the wilderness? What happened to Israel in the wilderness, and not only in the wilderness (Israel was constantly "limping on between the two sides") is a warning to the ENTIRE modern people of Jehovah and, above all, to those in authority. For example, because *responsible pastor Aaron* made a golden calf (Exodus 32:4,5) - Jehovah wanted to destroy ALL of Israel (Exodus 32:10); because of the pride shown once in the hearts and the loss of self-control, Moses did not enter the promised Land (Num. 20:10; Deut. 3:23-27); due to the fact that *the Levite Korah of the house of Kohath (anointed), who sent work at the tabernacle and wore the holy of holies* (Num. 4:2-20; 16:8-10), suffering from careerism, envied Moses and *wanted to perform priestly functions himself (Num. 16:1-11 and 16-18)* - 14700 people is died (the whole nation almost died because of Korah - Num. 16:49). The history of God's people has shown that *if one of the pastors has deviated from the truth, ALL those who blindly trust him will also deviate* (Acts 20:17,30 + see the book *"Organized", Appendix on page 189,* 14 question for those who want to be baptized) The main threat to Jehovah's people today is a *hidden form of idolatry and the Pharisaic spirit:* "Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy" (Luk 12:1 KJ)
