  1. It looks like the 7th October changed the whole scenario of this world. From that date onwards escalations develop everyday. Things came to a head when Israel struck the consulate in Damascus and killed seven members of the country’s revolutionary guard. The Iranians responded on April 13 with an unprecedented – what many here call ‘historic’ – attack on Israel. They said the response was proportionate because no injuries were reported. Iranians said this was to create a new reality in the Middle East, and that this kind of “tit for tat” behaviour by Israel would no longer be tolerated. Israel, of course, said they would respond and whether that is what we are seeing unfold today is that response is too early to say. It highlights just how fragile and tense the situation is.https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2024/4/19/live-israel-launches-missile-attack-in-response-to-iran-assault
  2. Never seen this in practice, but I saw respecting others and their decisions.. Also have noticed that some have rather strong opinions on the issue of defending "non vaccination", which have not seen with those who chose to be vaccinated. Opposition to vaccines should be personal matter, but yet is vocalized on forums, and personal conversations. (which I have experienced personally)
  3. Yes indeed, and that could surprise us how the prophecy could be potentially realized. We expect certain definitive "marker" namely proclamation. But what if? big if? If the prophecy only points out to a time period when they will be "saying" about Peace and Security (as we see it now) And then suddenly attack on false religion comes during that period.(like a thief in the night) If this happens I wouldn't be surprised.
  4. Prices will not go down .. well at least much. Supply lines are more expensive after pandemic, fuel too.. Airlines also are trying to recover after pandemic loss. (Some incurred debt) The price of crude oil went up significantly after pandemic... so airlines are passing increase onto customers, you and me. The political situation in Middle East has potential to impact crude oil prices even further.. If the cost of living wasn't high we wouldn't see the prices for flights that expensive. (it would be more reasonable to deal with it) In the past I was paying to fly to Europe around $1800 AUD, nowadays is around $2200 (if purchased at least 3 months ahead) My friends are flying to Greece for $1600 on Turkish Airlines in peak season in June.
  5. Yesterday during daily media briefing US department clearly stated that Iran will not be allowed to have nuclear weapons. All opinions are on the table. He said diplomacy didn’t work … negotiations didn’t work. Iran is very very close to producing nuclear weapon. Israel also said Iran will not have those weapons … so it’s a matter of time before another huge escalation takes place in the Middle East.
  6. Yes, but I wasn’t talking about our affordability… Food , electricity, gas and accommodation expenses went up significantly in comparison to flights increases. Yes, flights are more expensive… but the rest of “daily” living saw unprecedented levels of increases. I spend $40 more per week on petrol alone than before pandemic. Not to mention other things. The way aI see it … flights costs are reasonable if you book in advance. Affordability went down due to cost of living, and this is entirely different discussion.
  7. Interesting analysis (unexpectedly balanced for mainstream CNN 🤣) https://edition.cnn.com/2024/04/15/middleeast/israel-options-retaliate-iran-attack-mideast-conflict-mime-intl/index.html
  8. I will state something controversial here: Flights are cheap or at least affordable in comparison to food, electricity and petrol prices (cost of living) When I see flight to Europe (from Australia) for $2000 and just paid electricity bill and gas..food and petrol... I say wow...flights are not that expensive.
  9. Probably the safest travel manner that exists right now! I had plans to book trip to Europe this weekend.. and now missiles are flying towards Israel... The scenario of this world is fast becoming more dangerous. So back to You Tube for a while ..LOL 🤣
  10. Google is a friend ….😜 https://www.zillow.com/fl/3-bedrooms/?searchQueryState={"pagination"%3A{}%2C"isMapVisible"%3Atrue%2C"mapBounds"%3A{"west"%3A-90.97025956944061%2C"east"%3A-76.71000566319061%2C"south"%3A20.38706495391533%2C"north"%3A31.42979150253086}%2C"regionSelection"%3A[{"regionId"%3A14%2C"regionType"%3A2}]%2C"filterState"%3A{"sort"%3A{"value"%3A"globalrelevanceex"}%2C"beds"%3A{"min"%3A3%2C"max"%3A3}}%2C"isListVisible"%3Atrue%2C"mapZoom"%3A6}
  11. Washington: The US and its allies believe major missile or drone strikes by Iran or its proxies against military and government targets in Israel are imminent in what would mark a significant widening of the six-month-old conflict, according to people familiar with the intelligence.“We also want to address the Iranian threat to launch a significant – they’re threatening to launch a significant attack in Israel,” Biden said at a press conference with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida in Washington.https://www.smh.com.au/world/middle-east/us-expecting-iran-attack-on-israel-imminently-20240411-p5fixe.html
  12. I have full set of Everdell with all expansions including the latest Farshore (even got Lil Everdell to play with youngsters)
  13. Hard hitting message proved to be beneficial for Ninivah … (woke them up)
  14. Too late… I have read the post … planning next steps 😂
  15. Left.. because during GT his right hand will be busy holding us fast! 🥰
  16. Especially if they have money to "retire" on secluded private island...🤣
  17. Big thank you for this. 🥰 We don't want to develop into situation where "forum distributes heavy alternative understandings" on prophecies. FDS is appointed, and designated to feed us spiritually. Jesus as a King definitely knows where we are in the stream of time, and grants us knowledge according to what we need. We all study prophecies and have many questions and speculations, but we patiently wait until the chariot moves.
  18. The collective weeping will occur as per Bible verse, but in no way it indicates that some will not agree on destruction of religion ... the weeping is occurring "after" perhaps when Jehovah's thought does not have any effect anymore as it already accomplished his work. (For me this indicates the power of Jehovah's thought on whole judgment)
  19. How did you arrive to this point based on our understanding of ten horns? (Number 10, completeness)
  20. Jehovah’s day.” refers to the time period that begins with the attack on “Babylon the Great,” the world empire of false religion, and ends with Armageddon. (unseating if follows immediately with attack would classify as a beginning of GT) Unseating by itself without attack would be just political maneuver. But hey .. I think false religion will be surprised with the attack and totally unprepared (Queen) In my opinion they will be riding wild beast to the very end. ☺️
  21. It will be interesting to see how nations will deal with extreme islamists when attacking false religion? (because so far they failed, and new factions spring out) That's why I recon nations (with Jehovah's thought) will target ideology where religion needs to be eliminated no more churches .. no more mosques.... ISIS-K was created nine years ago as an autonomous ‘province’ of the Islamic State, and despite many enemies has survived and proved itself capable of launching attacks in Pakistan, Iran and central Asia. Before the Crocus City attack, it had planned others in Europe and Russia. The commander of US Central Command, Gen. Erik Kurilla, assessed recently that ISIS-K “retains the capability and the will to attack US and Western interests abroad in as little as six months with little to no warning.” https://edition.cnn.com/2024/03/30/europe/how-isis-has-europe-and-the-us-in-sights-after-deadly-moscow-attack/index.html
  22. Dodo Riding Dinos it's a total mayhem racing game similar to Mario Cart videogame. We have played it yesterday and had a total blast! 🤣🤣🤣 It's a Kickstarter version.
  23. From the article; (found this interesting) Subsequently, he instructed all churches to recite the so-called Prayer for Holy Rus, invoking the bestowal of victory upon “Holy Rus.” Clergy members who refuse to comply face sanctions, including defrocking.
