Remnants who correctly led the world held onto the covenant. Leaders don’t learn from others. Instead, they follow the stream of the Word, prayer, and evangelism. Moreover, when they face a crucial time, they must look toward Jehovah. Through “24 hours,” when God’s Word is imprinted in their brains and souls, God will be with them through His authority. What are the answers that come at that time?

1. The Absolute Topic and the Absolute Answer
The absolute prayer topic that helps you enjoy the covenant toward Jehovah will be created(Christ, God’s Kingdom, and a witness of “only Holy Spirit”). When you enjoy this for twenty-four hours, the absolute answer of God being with you, us, and all things will emerge(WITH, Immanuel, and Oneness). Nobody can take away this answer.

2. The Absolute Time Schedule
God is absolute. Therefore, the answer of “25 hours” that people cannot understand will emerge. Then the eternal answer that nobody can block arises. Furthermore, God leads Remnants to places where nobody else can go(Nobody). Also, the 7 Remnants of the Bible received the answer of standing before kings who moved their times. This is the Remnants’ future.

No one is capable of changing the covenant or blocking the Gospel. Those who properly hold onto this covenant are true witnesses. If you are within God’s covenant, it doesn’t matter where you are.

[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, help me to hold onto the correct covenant and enjoy the mystery of “24 hours.” In Jesus Christ’s name I pray. Amen.

[Deep Questions]
Q. What Is the Absolute Freedom Found in Prison?

“Weren’t you educated in the best undergraduate school? Aren’t you a daughter from an exceptional family line who became a teacher? Then, how can a woman of such refinement and common sense be incapable of following prison rules? “Don’t even mention that. In fact, I’m innocent. Is it a crime to speak the truth? Anyway, since I’ve been in jail, not once have I ever violated any prison rules. I follow them every day.”
Then, the prison warden suddenly stood up and shouted, “I, the prison commander, on behalf of His Majesty, the Great Emperor of Japan make this decree. In order to successfully finish the temple, everyone must work with one heart. Prisoners are not exempt. Inmate 57, I command you to work on Sundays as well.”
The warden pounded his hand on the desk and stared at me. Immediately, I stood up, went next to the warden, and shouted even louder.
“I, Ahn Yi-sook, am a servant of the living Jehovah God who created the heavens, the earth, and all creation. He who led and fulfilled everything for six days commanded me to rest on the seventh day. For that reason, I will not work on the Lords’ Day.”
Dumbfounded, the warden thought for a while then said, “I’ve always heard about faith, but today, I’ve finally seen what faith truly is.” After listening to what he said, I became very emotional and almost burst into tears. The warden called the chief guard who was an elderly woman. She came running and bowed politely. Then the warden spoke.
“Hey, old lady! Don’t order inmate 57 around! Why do you insist on tormenting her even though she hasn’t done anything wrong?” Since then, I found absolute freedom even inside prison.
