data-bid="1-1" class="b">PS. 111:1</a>.</p> <p id="p33" data-pid="33" class="qu">1, 2. What does “Hallelujah” mean, and how is it used in the Christian Greek Scriptures?</p> <p id="p3" data-pid="3" data-rel-pid="[33]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="1"></span>“HALLELUJAH!” That exclamation is commonly heard in Christendom’s churches. Some people punctuate daily conversations with the expression. Few, however, know its sacred meaning, and the lifestyle of many who use it dishonors God. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2009202/1/0" data-bid="2-1" class="b">Titus 1:16</a>) “Hallelujah,” explains one Bible dictionary, is a “word used by the writers of various psalms to invite all to join them in praising Jehovah.” In fact, a number of Bible scholars point out that “Hallelujah” means “‘Praise ye Jah,’ [that is] Jehovah.”</p> <p id="p4" data-pid="4" data-rel-pid="[33]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="2"><sup>2</sup></span> Understandably, in the <em>New World Translation,</em> the expression found at <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2009202/2/0" data-bid="3-1" class="b">Psalm 111:1</a> is rendered <em>“Praise Jah, you people!”</em> A Greek form of this expression appears four times at <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2009202/3/0" data-bid="4-1" class="b">Revelation 19:1-6</a> in celebration of the end of false religion. When that takes place, true worshippers will have special reason to use the expression “Hallelujah” in a respectful way.</p> <p id="p5" data-pid="5" class="ss"><strong>His Great Works</strong></p> <p id="p34" data-pid="34" class="qu"> 3. What is the main purpose of our congregating regularly?</p> <p id="p6" data-pid="6" data-rel-pid="[34]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="3"><sup>3</sup></span> The composer of <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2009202/4/0" data-bid="5-1" class="b">Psalm 111</a> gives many reasons why Jehovah is so deserving of our united praise. Verse 1 says: <em>“I shall laud Jehovah with all my heart in the intimate group of upright ones and the assembly.”</em> Jehovah’s Witnesses today feel the same way. The main purpose of our congregating regularly, both in local congregations and at large conventions, is to praise Jehovah.</p> <p id="p35" data-pid="35" class="qu"> 4. How can humans search for Jehovah’s works?</p> <p id="p7" data-pid="7" data-rel-pid="[35]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="4"><sup>4</sup></span> <em>“The works of Jehovah are great, searched for on the part of all those delighting in them.”</em> (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2009202/5/0" data-bid="6-1" class="b">Ps. 111:2</a>) Notice the expression “searched for.” According to one reference work, the verse can apply to humans who make God’s works “the objects of earnest and devout meditation and study.” Jehovah’s creations abound with wonderful purpose. He set sun, earth, and moon in place, all in proper relation one to another, so that our earth is provided with warmth and light, night and day, the seasons and the tides.</p> <p id="p36" data-pid="36" class="qu"> 5. What have advances in man’s understanding of the universe revealed?</p> <p id="p8" data-pid="8" data-rel-pid="[36]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="5"><sup>5</sup></span> Scientists have discovered a great deal about earth’s position in our solar system as well as the perfect orbit, size, and mass of our large moon. The arrangement and interrelationship of these heavenly bodies makes <span id="page21" class="pageNum" aria-hidden="true" data-no="21" data-before-text="21"></span>possible the beautiful and regular change of seasons. Also, much has been learned about the fine-tuning of natural forces in the universe. Thus, in an article entitled “The Designed ‘Just So’ Universe,” a professor of mechanical engineering observed: “It is quite easy to understand why so many scientists have changed their minds in the past 30 years, agreeing that it takes a great deal of faith to believe the universe can be explained as nothing more than a fortuitous cosmic accident. Evidence for an intelligent designer becomes more compelling the more we understand about our carefully crafted habitat.”</p> <p id="p37" data-pid="37" class="qu"> 6. How do you feel about the way that God made man?</p> <p id="p9" data-pid="9" data-rel-pid="[37]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="6"><sup>6</sup></span> Another great expression of creation is the way that God made us. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2009202/6/0" data-bid="7-1" class="b">Ps. 139:14</a>) When making humans, he gave them a mind, a body with a full set of necessary organs, and the ability and capacity to do work. There is, for example, the miracle involved in the God-given abilities of speaking and listening, as well as those of writing and reading. Many people have those abilities. You also have a wondrous masterpiece of construction—the upright human frame. Why, the design and balance of your body, its mechanical functions and its chemistry, inspire awe. Beyond that, the amazing nerve connections that enable your mind and your senses to function find no parallel in what scientists have achieved. In fact, human achievements are possible only because of the mind and senses with which mankind is endowed. Even the most trained and capable engineer could not have manufactured anything as beautiful and useful as the ten marvelously designed levers—your fingers and thumbs. Ask yourself, ‘Could impressive works of art and construction have been made without the skillful use of God-given fingers?’</p> <p id="p10" data-pid="10" class="ss"><strong>God’s Great Works and His Qualities</strong></p> <p id="p38" data-pid="38" class="qu"> 7. Why should we view the Bible as one of God’s great works?</p> <p id="p11" data-pid="11" data-rel-pid="[38]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="7"><sup>7</sup></span> Jehovah’s great works include other wonderful things he has done for mankind, as described in the Bible. That book itself is a harmonious masterpiece. Unlike any other book, it is indeed “inspired of God and beneficial for teaching.” (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2009202/7/0" data-bid="8-1" class="b">2 Tim. 3:16</a>) For instance, the first book of the Bible, Genesis, explains how God cleansed the earth of wickedness in the days of Noah. The second book, Exodus, shows how Jehovah vindicated his Godship by delivering Israel from Egyptian slavery. The psalmist likely had such events in mind when he was moved to say: “[<em>Jehovah’s</em>] <em>activity is dignity and splendor themselves, and his righteousness is standing forever. A memorial he has made for his wonderful works. Jehovah is gracious and merciful.”</em> (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2009202/8/0" data-bid="9-1" class="b">Ps. 111:3, 4</a>) Do you not agree that Jehovah’s activity throughout history, including things done during your lifetime, is a memorial to his “dignity and splendor”?</p> <p id="p39" data-pid="39" class="qu">8, 9. (a) In what ways do God’s works contrast with many human works? (b) What are some of God’s qualities that you appreciate?</p> <p id="p12" data-pid="12" data-rel-pid="[39]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="8"><sup>8</sup></span> Notice that the psalmist also stresses Jehovah’s beautiful qualities, such as righteousness, graciousness, and mercy. You know that the works of sinful mankind are seldom based on righteousness. Often they are an expression of greed, envy, and haughtiness. That is evident from the fiendish weapons men produce for the wars they foment and for economic gain. These bring untold misery and horror to millions of innocent victims. Also, many human works have been accomplished at the expense of the oppressed poor. An example that many might cite is the use of slaves to build the pyramids. Those mainly served as burial places for the proud Pharaohs. Moreover, many of mankind’s present-day works not only <span id="page22" class="pageNum" aria-hidden="true" data-no="22" data-before-text="22"></span>are oppressive but are “ruining the earth.”—<em>Read</em> <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2009202/9/0" data-bid="10-1" class="b"><em>Revelation 11:18</em></a><em>.</em></p> <p id="p13" data-pid="13" data-rel-pid="[39]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="9"><sup>9</sup></span> How different it is with Jehovah’s works, which are always based on what is right! His works include the merciful provision for the salvation of sinful mankind. In providing the ransom, God was ‘exhibiting his own righteousness.’ (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2009202/10/0" data-bid="11-1" class="b">Rom. 3:25, 26</a>) Indeed, “his righteousness is standing forever”! As for graciousness, that has been manifested in the patient manner in which God has dealt with sinful humans. At times, he even used the expression “please” when pleading with them to turn back from their hurtful ways and do what was right.—<em>Read</em> <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2009202/11/0" data-bid="12-1" class="b"><em>Ezekiel 18:25</em></a><em>.</em></p> <p id="p14" data-pid="14" class="ss"><strong>Faithful to His Promises</strong></p> <p id="p40" data-pid="40" class="qu">10.

Jehovah promised to bless Abraham’s seed and said that they would take possession of the gate of their enemies. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2009202/13/0" data-bid="14-1" class="b">Gen. 22:17, 18;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2009202/13/1" data-bid="14-2" class="b"> Ps. 105:8, 9</a>) In the initial outworking of those promises, Abraham’s seed became the nation of Israel.

(<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2009202/14/0" data-bid="15-1" class="b">Ex. 2:24</a>) Jehovah’s subsequent dealings with them show just how generous he is.

More than 1,500 years after he delivered the Israelites from Egypt, God sent his only-begotten Son to earth. The majority of the Jews rejected Jesus and allowed him to be executed. Then Jehovah formed a new nation, a spiritual one, “the Israel of God.” Along with Christ, that nation makes up the spiritual seed of Abraham, which Jehovah foretold he would use to bless mankind.—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2009202/16/0" data-bid="17-1" class="b">Gal. 3:16,</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2009202/16/1" data-bid="17-2" class="b"> 29;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2009202/16/2" data-bid="17-3" class="b"> 6:16</a>.</p> <p id="p41" data-pid="41" class="qu">11.
