Friday, September 5 God . . . turned his attention to the nations to take out of them a people for his name.—Acts 15:14. During a milestone governing body meeting in Jerusalem in 49 C.E., the disciple James said: “It is written, ‘After these things I shall return and rebuild the booth of David that is fallen down . . . in order that those who remain of the men may earnestly seek Jehovah, together with people of all the nations, people who are called by my name, says Jehovah.’” (Acts 15:13-18) “The booth [or, royal house] of David” fell when King Zedekiah was dethroned. (Amos 9:11) However, that “booth” would be rebuilt with David’s descendant Jesus as the permanent King. (Ezek. 21:27; Acts 2:29-36) As James pointed out at that historic meeting, this prophecy of Amos was being fulfilled in the gathering of Kingdom heirs from both Jews and Gentiles. Today, a remnant of anointed Christians and millions of Jesus’ “other sheep” are united in declaring Bible truth as servants of Jehovah.—John 10:16. w13 2/15 2:1, 2 km 8/14 p. 4 Schedule for Week of September 1 WEEK STARTING SEPTEMBER 1 Song 46 and Prayer □ Congregation Bible Study: cl chap. 12 ¶9-15 (30 min.) □ Theocratic Ministry School: Bible reading: Numbers 17-21 (10 min.)
