Jehovah's Word Is Light

10/05/2026

This picture is built around one of the most important truths taught in the Bible — the condition of the dead and Jehovah’s promise of the resurrection. Using the language and understanding from the Jehovah's Witnesses and the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures, the image explains how Satan’s original lie in Eden confused mankind about death.
At the very top, the large words “YOU WILL NOT DIE” point directly to the conversation between Eve and the serpent in the Garden of Eden.
“At this the serpent said to the woman: ‘You certainly will not die.’”
— Genesis 3:4, NWT
According to the Bible, this was the first lie ever told. Jehovah had already warned Adam that disobedience would result in death.
“In the day you eat from it, you will certainly die.”
— Genesis 2:17, NWT
The picture of Eve listening to the serpent represents how Satan challenged Jehovah’s truthfulness and introduced the false teaching that humans continue living after death in another form.
The dark middle section of the picture shows fear, confusion, spiritism, and human sorrow. Many religions teach that the dead are conscious somewhere — in heaven, hellfire, purgatory, or able to communicate with the living. But the Bible teaches something very different.
The open Bible and grave scene highlight the clear truth found in Ecclesiastes.
“For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing at all.”
— Ecclesiastes 9:5, NWT
And verse 10 says:
“There is no work nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom in the Grave, where you are going.”
— Ecclesiastes 9:10, NWT
This means death is a state of complete unconsciousness. The dead are not suffering, watching over family members, or communicating with humans. The image uses darkness and silence around the grave to symbolize this condition.
The empty tomb in the artwork points to the hope Jehovah gives through Jesus Christ. When Jesus spoke about Lazarus, he compared death to sleep.
“Lazarus our friend has fallen asleep.”
— John 11:11, NWT
Later Jesus plainly explained:
“Lazarus has died.”
— John 11:14, NWT
Why did Jesus use sleep as an illustration? Because sleep is temporary. A sleeping person can be awakened. In the same way, Jehovah can restore life to those who have died.
The bright lower section of the picture changes from darkness to light. Families embracing, smiling, and reuniting represent the resurrection hope.
Jesus promised:
“The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.”
— John 5:28, 29, NWT
This is one of the central teachings of Jehovah’s Witnesses — that millions who have died will live again on a peaceful earth under God’s Kingdom.
The joyful reunion scene also reflects the promise found in Revelation:
“He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more.”
— Revelation 21:4, NWT

This picture carries a powerful spiritual message about God’s protection, deliverance, and faithfulness in impossible situations. Every person shown in the image represents someone in the Bible who entered danger, suffering, or death — but did not remain there because God made a way out.
Meaning of Each Scene
Joseph in the pit
Joseph was thrown into a pit by his own brothers out of jealousy. What looked like rejection became the beginning of his elevation. God later raised him to become a ruler in Egypt.
Daniel in the lions’ den
Daniel was thrown into a den of lions because he refused to stop praying to God. The lions did not harm him because God protected him through the night.
Jonah and the great fish
Jonah was swallowed by a giant fish after running from God’s assignment. Instead of dying, he was preserved and given another chance to fulfill his purpose.
Lazarus coming out of the tomb
Lazarus had already died and been buried, but Jesus called him back to life. This scene represents resurrection, restoration, and hope beyond impossibility.
Elijah in the cave
Elijah hid in a cave during fear and discouragement. God met him there, strengthened him, and sent him back with renewed purpose.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fire
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were thrown into a fiery furnace for refusing to worship idols. The fire could not destroy them because God was with them in the flames.

Jehovah never forgets your faithfulness. Every good thing you do, every moment you endure, matters to Him. He promises that He will never abandon those who trust in Him.

There is no partiality with God.—Rom. 2:11.

After he had delivered his people from slavery in Egypt, Jehovah appointed priests to serve at the tabernacle. Levites were assigned to share in other duties related to that holy tent. Did those who served at the tabernacle or who were encamped close to it enjoy better care from Jehovah than others? No! Jehovah is not partial. Everyone in the encampment had an equal opportunity to enjoy Jehovah’s friendship. For example, Jehovah made sure that the entire nation was able to see the miraculous pillar of cloud and pillar of fire posted above the tabernacle. (Ex. 40:38) When the cloud started to move in a new direction, even those encamped farthest from the tabernacle were able to see that, assemble their belongings, dismantle their family tents, and keep pace with the rest of the nation. (Num. 9:15-23) Similarly today, no matter where we live on earth, we can benefit from Jehovah’s loving, watchful care and protection.

Now that we have moved beyond the primary doctrine about the Christ, let us press on to maturity, not laying a foundation again.—Heb. 6:1.

Jehovah does not expect us to grow to maturity on our own. Those who serve as shepherds and teachers in the Christian congregation are prepared to help us in becoming “full-grown” in a spiritual sense, “attaining the measure of stature that belongs to the fullness of the Christ.” (Eph. 4:11-13) Jehovah also provides his holy spirit to help us have “the mind of Christ.” (1 Cor. 2:14-16) Further, God inspired the writing of the four Gospels to show us how Jesus thought, spoke, and acted during his earthly ministry. By imitating Jesus’ way of thinking and acting, you can reach your goal of Christian maturity. But in order to advance to maturity, we must also move “beyond the primary doctrine about the Christ,” that is, basic Christian teachings.

Wisdom preserves the life of its owner.—Eccl. 7:12.

Jesus illustrated the foolishness of storing up money without being “rich toward God.” (Luke 12:16-21) No one knows what tomorrow will bring. (Prov. 23:4, 5; Jas. 4:13-15) We face a particular challenge as followers of Christ. Jesus said that we must be ready to “give up” all our belongings to be his disciples. (Luke 14:33, ftn.) First-century Christians in Judea accepted such a loss with joy. (Heb. 10:34) In modern times, many brothers have had to sacrifice their financial security because of refusing to give allegiance to a political system. (Rev. 13:16, 17) What has helped them to do that? They have absolute confidence in Jehovah’s promise: “I will never leave you, and I will never abandon you.” (Heb. 13:5) We do our best to plan for our future needs, and if unexpected events befall us, we trust in Jehovah’s support.

Just as Jehovah freely forgave you, you must also do the same.—Col. 3:13.

Jehovah expects us to be ready to forgive those who hurt us. (Ps. 86:5; Luke 17:4; Eph. 4:32) We may be deeply hurt because of what someone says or does to us, especially if that person is a close friend or family member. (Ps. 55:12-14) At times, the emotional pain we suffer can be likened to being stabbed. (Prov. 12:18) We may try to suppress or ignore our hurt feelings. But doing so might be like getting stabbed and then leaving the knife in the wound. Similarly, we cannot expect our hurt feelings to get better if we simply ignore them. When someone offends us, our initial reaction may be to get angry. The Bible acknowledges that we may become wrathful. However, it warns against allowing that emotion to dominate us. (Ps. 4:4; Eph. 4:26) Why? Because anger seldom leads to good results. (Jas. 1:20) Remember, getting angry is a reaction, but remaining angry is a choice.
