For people who love truth

This may help you to understand. Most people do not realize that the Bible message is to three groups of people.

The first group are 144,000 humans who will be taken from the earth to rule over the earth with Christ Jesus as their King. This is the heavenly kingdom that we are told to search for, at Matthew 6:33. There are only a few of these left remaining on earth and they are very old. (Please reason on Revelation 14:1,3; 5:10)

The second group are people who are given the opportunity to live forever on a paradise earth. This is only for people who learn the truth about the Bible and by accurate knowledge dedicate their lives to serve the one true God, Jehovah and his King-Son Jesus Christ. (John 17:3; Matthew 5:5)

The final group are people on the earth who do not love truth or God's Word the Bible, or who seek independence from God and look to human governments and false religion for guidance.

The Bible says that (final group) all these ones will be removed from the earth very soon at Armageddon. (2 Thessalonians 1: 7,8,9)

2 Thessalonians 1:7 but, to YOU who suffer tribulation, relief along with us at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his powerful angels 8 in a flaming fire, as he brings vengeance upon those who do not know God and those who do not obey the good news about our Lord Jesus. 9 These very ones will undergo the judicial punishment of everlasting destruction from before the Lord and from the glory of his strength. 

After Armageddon, earth will be made into a paradise. MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO BE THERE. It will be sooner than you think. You will only survive with Jehovah's protection. So act now! The future is bright for the meek.

Why do we fast?

The Bible gives examples of God's people occasionally combining fasting with their prayers so as to stir up their zeal and renew their dedication and commitment to Him. King David wrote that he "humbled [him]self with fasting" (Psalm 35:13). Fasting is a means of getting our minds back on the reality that we are not self-sufficient. Fasting helps us realize just how fragile we are and how much we depend on things beyond ourselves.

The Bible records that great men of faith such as Moses, Elijah, Daniel, Paul and Jesus Himself fasted so that they might draw closer to God (Exodus 34:28; 1 Kings 19:8; Daniel 9:3; Daniel 10:2-3 ; 2 Corinthians 11:27; Matthew 4:2). Jesus knew that His true disciples, once He was no longer there in the flesh with them, at times would need to fast to regain and renew their zeal to serve Him (Mark 2:18-20).

James tells us, "Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you" (James 4:8). Constant prayer and occasional fasting help us to do this.

We are not to fast to have people feel sorry for us or to think we're pious (Matthew 6:16-18). Isaiah 58 gives both bad and good examples of fasting, contrasting wrong attitudes and actions (Isaiah 58:3-5) with the right approach of outgoing love (Isaiah 58:6-10). Daniel and Nehemiah set the example of having a repentant frame of mind (Daniel 9:3-4;Nehemiah 9:1-2).

Fasting also helps us learn the lessons of the Day of Atonement : forgiveness, reconciliation to God and the need to resist Satan and pray for the time of his removal (Revelation 20:1-3), which was portrayed in type by the Azazel goat on Atonement (Leviticus 16:20-22).
