While each one of the four faces of the living creatures stands for one of the four cardinal attributes of Jehovah, (love, justice, wisdom, and power) when viewed together the four faces embrace all the attributes that he possesses. Also, the four faces impress on us the surpassing greatness of Jehovah’s might and glory.

How was the vision of the valley of dry bones fulfilled?
Our understanding has been clarified. For a while we used to think that in 1918 the persecuted anointed were brought into captivity to Babylon the Great, experiencing a deathlike condition of near inactivity. However the deathlike condition of spiritual captivity lasted a very long time and began much earlier than 1918. It started in the second century C.E. and ended in 1919 C.E. and basically parallels the long growing season in Jesus’ parable of the wheat and the weeds.

Jethro Ex 2:18
What is different, or unique about the 7th day? What does this mean?
The 7th day was different from the other preceding 6 days in that Jehovah blessed and made it sacred. That is, it was a day set aside for a special purpose, which god stated at Gen 1:28. This would take time, thus on the 7th day Jehovah rested to allow what he had created to develop according to his will. Thus, while Jehovah stated his will, we are privileged to have a part in accomplishing it. In this ways Jehovah also lives up to his name, causing us to be what we need to be to fulfill his will.

After his conversion, Saul was separated for a considerable time from contact with the 12 apostles. However, it is likely that he was active throughout that period. So Jesus apparently saw to it that Saul had the Power he needed in order to carry out his preaching assignment.

In Ezekiel what is the meaning of the joining together of the two sticks?
The prophecy highlights that Jehovah will cause his worshippers to become one. After 1919, as time progressed, members of the anointed remnant were joined by an increasing number of those with an earthly hope. Both groups are worshipping Jehovah together as one people. This adjust our previous thought that
