I’ve been reading Rev chp 16 again. The verses regarding the propaganda from the demons that is inspiring the nations to oppose Jehovah has been intensifying since 1914, particularly when the 6 bowls started to be poured in judgement from 1922. So it has been ongoing.
The Research guide, quoting Revelation book and othe WTs says:
And the talk Survive the Great Day, by Bro Schafer, had this point:
So Since the time Satan has been thrown to the earth, he knows his time is short. So he is giving it his all to “gather”, to manoeuvre the nations into opposition to Jehovah. We can see this blatantly, as the 6 bowls of judgements have been poured simultaneously on all elements of Satan's system.
But what is interesting is vs 17 when the 7th bowl is poured. “It has come to pass”. The Research guide says “When the contents of the bowls of God’s anger have been publicized to Jehovah’s satisfaction, there will be no delay in his executing the judgments proclaimed by these messages.”
So, it is back to the good news being preached, as judgement messages to the world opposed (and life giving to others for now). The judgements (bowls poured) inflame the nations, while Satanic propaganda creates scenarios to convince humans they are going to be able to save themselves.
It is when this tipping point is reached (which is hidden from us, we just have to stay awake and keep our identity) that the nations will suffer from the 7th bowl effects, triggering the collapse of false religion, followed by the total collapse of Satans earthly system.
Those hooks mentioned earlier, is Jehovah goading Satan to attack us, which the nations under his control will do, just before their total destruction - Eze chp 38, vs 4 in particular.
Hey, we know all this. I just wanted to give a brief summary of what we do know so far. Carry on 😁
