these memorial Feasts are eternal! The Bible also teaches that they
constitute the “Sign ( signature ) of the LORD.”
What “counterfeit festivals” has the Christian church
introduced in their place?
See Lesson 1 for the answer.
||The Bible teaches that: “The Son of Man came to
seek and to save that which was lost.”
Who are the lost and what are they saved from?
See Lesson 2 for the answer.
||The world is obsessed with sex, which it incorrectly mistakes for “love.”
When the Bible says: “God is love” what does it
mean? What is true love anyway?
See Lesson 3 for the answer.
||Satan is figuratively described in Scripture as a “fiery serpent.”
The whole human race has been stung by Satan and faces eternal death.
There is, however, one - and only one - antidote to Satan's
sting. What is it and what does it cost?
See Lesson 4 for the answer.
||A “covenant” is as a formal agreement or contract drawn
up under seal between two or more parties. “Jehovah” made
the first covenant between Himself and ancient Israel when, in
the days of Moses, He brought His people to Mount Sinai and
wrote His commandments on tablets of stone. The Bible, in both the
Old and New Testaments tells of a “New Covenant”
Who are the parties in the “New Covenant” and where are the
commandments written in this “New Covenant?”
See Lesson 5 for the answer.
||“Nothing is impossible with God.” Often the Most High
allows us to reach the absolute end of our tether before He steps
in and does the impossible. In the final analysis the spiritual
battle between good and evil is not ours - it is the LORD's; and
He will certainly win it. But what is our part in this great battle?
See Lesson 6 for the answer.
||In both the Old and New Testaments there are prophecies concerning a
“Second Exodus” to the wilderness.
In view of the many
“false alarms”that have occurred in the past when thousands
of believers have wandered off into the wilds only to be sadly
disappointed, what should we expect to happen on earth “before”
this “Second Exodus” could take place?
See Lesson 7 for the answer.
||In times of trouble we should pray to the LORD God of Israel
and He will answer our prayers; provided we repent, forsake our
sins and return to the pathway of obedience.

prayer at the dedication of the Temple? And what sign did God
give Solomon that He would answer his prayer?
See Lesson 8 for the answer.
||“Zion,” another name for Jerusalem, is Yahweh's favourite
place on earth. “The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more
than all the dwellings of Jacob.” Alas! Zion is not yet a
holy city. Sinners still roam its streets. But one day - soon -
that will all change. What events are still to happen in Jerusalem
before it can be said: Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion;
put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: “for
henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised
and the unclean?”
See Lesson 9 for the answer.
||The Bible says: “... the wicked are like the troubled
sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and
dirt.” Oh how true it is: sin and rebellion bring sorrow of
heart and anguish of spirit. The good news is that the Saviour came
to “seek and to save that which was lost.”
But before that rescue can be accomplished what personal decision
must be made? Complete the sentence: “I will arise and go to my Father
and say unto Him ........................ Thee.”
See Lesson 10 for the answer.
|| “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the
coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD.”

“message” to go forth; and if so “What is the Elijah Message?”
See Lesson 11 for the answer.

behaviour expressly forbidden in Jehovah's law. The worship
of Baal is not a thing of the past. It is still rampant in
our society. List some of the sins which we could classify
as modern Baal worship.
See Lesson 12 for the answer.
