Song 97 - Forward, You Ministers of the Kingdom! (2 Timothy 4:5) Week of Mar 10-16, 2014 100 Years of Kingdom Rule—How Does It Affect You? “Great and wonderful are your works, Jehovah God, . . . King of eternity.”—REV. 15:3. January 15, 2014 Page 12   Paragraph 1 (Matthew 6:10) Let your Kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also on earth. Paragraph 2 (Isaiah 55:10, 11) 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, 11 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.

It was on the 14th of the Jewish month Nisan, the date of the Passover, that Jesus directed his followers to commemorate his death. (Luke 22:14-20) Appropriately, the date for the Memorial celebration is arrived at as the Jews back then determined the date for the Passover.

For, indeed, Christ our Passover lamb has been sacrificed. Paragraph 4 (Exodus 1:11) So they appointed chiefs of forced labor over them to oppress them with hard labor, and they built storage cities for Phar′aoh, namely, Pi′thom and Ra·am′ses. (Exodus 3:9, 10) Now look! The outcry of the people of Israel has reached me, and I have seen also the harsh way that the Egyptians are oppressing them. 10  Now come, I will send you to Phar′aoh, and you will bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.” (Exodus 5:1, 2) Afterward, Moses and Aaron went in and said to Phar′aoh: “This is what Jehovah the God of Israel says, ‘Send my people away so that they may celebrate a festival to me in the
