Heeding Advance Warning Can Save Your Life!

FLEE TO SAFETY!

Recall that the residents of Simeulue's coastal villages fled to higher ground for safety the moment they saw the tide receding;  they did not wait until it returned.  Their decisive action meant their survival. To survive  the coming tribulation, you too need to flee to higher ground, so to speak, before it is too late. How? The prophet Isaiah was inspired to write about a stirring invitation that is being extended during "the final part of the days," the time in which we live now.  It says: "Come, let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah . . . He will instruct us about his ways, and we will walk in his paths."-Isaiah 2:2,  3. 

Going to the top of a mountain affords you an elevated view and place of safety.  In a similar way, getting to know God's ways through the pages of the Bible is helping millions of people worldwide today to make beneficial changes in their lives.  (2 Timothy 3:16, 17) By doing so, they begin to "walk in "[God's ] paths" and enjoy his favor and protective care.

Will you respond to that invitation and avail yourself of God's loving protection in these critical days?  We urge you to examine carefully the Scriptural evidence of "the last days."  Jehovah's Witnesses in your area would be happy to provide any assistance you may need to get a clear understanding of the scriptures provided as well as how to apply them.
