GLOBAL DEBT that may initiate the U.N. to tax religious organizations. 2020: Global debt surged dramatically due to pandemic support, reaching around $226 trillion (IMF) or 331% of GDP (IIF) by Q1, a massive jump from late 2019. 2021: Continued increases pushed total global debt to a new record of over $303 trillion, notes the World Economic Forum. 2022: Debt slightly increased to about $305 trillion, according to Wikipedia. 2023: Global debt continued its upward trend, with the IMF's Global Debt Monitor 2024 showing shifts, including falling private debt in some areas. 2024: Debt crossed $318 trillion by year-end, driven by government borrowing, notes the Institute of International Finance (IIF). 2025 (to Q3): A fresh peak of nearly $346 trillion was reached, with over $26 trillion added, primarily from government borrowing in both mature and emerging markets, according to the IIF's Global Debt Monitor.

Gog is said to be the leader of the coalition of nations, the King of the North. But the False Prophet or the Anglo-American world power is stated to be one of these unclean inspired expressions with the United Nations being another one. So, they will all apparently work together under the banner of a newly empowered Global Government of the United Nations, United Earth. So, it is possible that the United Nations becomes Gog of Magog since Gog is comprised of the Kings of the North and South which explains why there was “no helper” for the King of the North at the end since Armageddon is against ALL nations under the banner of the U.N. in conjunction with the unclean inspired expression of the puppet master Satan the Devil. [Verses 44 and 45 of Dan. 11 may be for the U.N. and not just King of the North]. Thus, Brother Jackson mentions at the Annual Meeting about the United Nations: “But it will enable them to destroy false religion AND fight against Jesus and Jehovah's people. Gog is the one who fights against Jesus and Jehovah’s people at Armageddon].

There are many lessons and similarities and also many points that are for our time. That being said notice this footnote in the 1999 WT: [It should be noted that while the fulfillment of Jesus’ words in 66-70 C.E. can help us to understand how they will be fulfilled at the great tribulation, the two fulfillments cannot be exactly parallel because the fulfillments occur against different backdrops.]

Prophets as in witnesses of Jehovah. True Religion

“The center of the world’s attention” Ezek. 38:12 ISV Translation] People will realize Jehovah’s Witnesses are true prophets which will give added weight like hailstones to their message after Babylon the Great has fallen, it will be unusually great. It is possible we will be mute just as Ezekiel was during the fall of Jerusalem then resumed after. Therefore we may become mute as to preaching during the attack on BTG then resume preaching after during the respite. In this way we will become "the center of the world's attention" which explains why they come to attack us at the end but their attention during the first phase is primarily on Babylon the Great which would be why they are attacked.

From Daniel 11:44 and 45 will likely not just be the King of the North but all nations under the U.N. flag. After all Armageddon is all nations not just the north. Also Gog of Magog consists of nations from the north AND south as mentioned in Ezekiel 38 but is apparently led by an entity from all the nations or the United nations - Gog. “‘“Be ready, prepare yourselves, you with all your armies that are assembled with you, and you will be their commander." The United Nations may be the commander of all the nations to attack God's people at Armageddon. This idea also corresponds to our thinking from Revelation as well. That is why there is "no helper" for the nations mentioned in verse 45 because there are no other nations to help since they have all been gathered to the situation of Armageddon. Just a thought.

Study project to prepare for the great tribulation: Without using any Bible try to write down on a plain piece of paper how many Scriptures you can recall. You will be surprised how educated Jehovah's people are. If the authorities do take away our Bibles and electronic devices holy spirit can help you basically write the Bible from memory on a piece of paper and if they take that away remember it came from you so it was never taken away after all. If you can only recall 10 Scriptures then that is better than none. But I am sure most of us can recall more then 10. Remember Jehovah will help you not to become spiritually malnourished. Pray and Jehovah will do the rest. And of course we are not alone. In our inner rooms will be our brothers and sisters imagine how many Scriptures we well remember then.

I agree that it will likely be more than just a few days or weeks. They have stated there is a first phase and a respite or interval then a final phase. Also we will be preaching good news and some will respond likely during the interval just as the vast mixed company joined after the ten plagues on the false gods but before the Red Sea finale. A first phase [ten plagues] and the final phase [Red Sea] with the Exodus being the interval when they all fled. Considering the timing of each phase the final phase is likely to be the shortest with the first phase taking maybe several months and the longest being possibly the respite. Thus, a possible total time of between 1 to 3 years.

By the way Israel was attacked by Hamas on October 7, 2023 the exact day of the Annual Meeting. Interesting

sorry perhaps i should have worded it: WHEN COULD JEHOVAH GIVE THIS “ONE THOUGHT” TO THE NATIONS? That question does not mean at all that it will occur during the September meeting since the U.N. website also says: "The General Assembly can also reconvene for special or emergency special sessions to address pressing issues." The Watchtower also mentions: "! The prophecy shows that God himself will influence them to follow that course. (Prov. 21:1; compare Isaiah 44:28.)

Note the last Scripture in the article in context: What, then, may we expect? We need not look for news reports that governments are slowly becoming more supportive of the United Nations. What we can expect is this: With startling suddenness, Jehovah will put it into the hearts of the nations to hand over their power to the wild beast. When that happens, we will know that the great tribulation is about to begin. Meanwhile, “let us stay awake and keep our senses” because sudden changes are soon to come!—1 Thess. 5:6. Interestingly most now criticize the U.N. for not doing its job, saying it has an outdated governance structure. That feeling increases every day as the world sinks deeper into despair and is most notable in the last two years and is even felt by the King of the South or the False Prophet that ignited the spark of the United Nations to begin with after both of the two world wars. God’s thought then would be the opposite of what the nations are currently thinking. 1 Thess. 5:6 quoted at the end of this article starts with the words ‘So, then” showing this statement of staying awake is part of the same thought in context with the saying of “Peace and Security”. Therefore, the giving of power to the United Nations is connected to the saying of Peace and Security just before the Day of Jehovah or the Great Tribulation begins! WHEN COULD JEHOVAH THROUGH THE UNITED NATIONS GIVE THIS “ONE THOUGHT”? The General Assembly is the main deliberative, policymaking and representative organ of the UN. All 193 Member States of the UN are represented in the General Assembly, making it the only UN body with universal representation. Each year, in September, the full UN membership meets in the General Assembly Hall in New York for the annual General Assembly session, and general debate, which many heads of state attend and address. Decisions on important questions, such as those on peace and security, admission of new members and budgetary matters, require a two-thirds majority of the General Assembly. Decisions on other questions are by simple majority. The 80th session of the UN General Assembly (UNGA 80) will open on Tuesday, 9 September 2025. The first day of the high-level General Debate will be Tuesday, 23 September 2025. General Assembly High-level Week 2025 "Eighty years ago, from the ashes of war, the world planted a seed of hope. One Charter, one vision, one promise: that peace is possible when humanity stands together." - António Guterres, 26 June 2025 22 September 9 am – 10 am | General Assembly Hall High-level Meeting to Commemorate the 80th Anniversary of the United Nations This one-hour meeting will mark the 80th anniversary of the establishment of the United Nations, with UN officials and Heads of State and Government reflecting on the achievements of the past eight decades and the path ahead for a more inclusive and responsive multilateral system. Interestingly the special campaign of “An End to War” begins in September with the special talk on that subject the week of September 22!

Yes right now there are protests in 16 cities but Saturday it will be over 1,800 protests. Look at this map on CNN https://www.cnn.com/us/maps-ice-trump-protests-dg

Interesting statement i googled ai and got this: "The concept of a state "abdicating its sovereignty to solve" a problem refers to a situation where a sovereign nation voluntarily relinquishes or transfers its supreme authority and control to another entity, such as an international organization or another state, in order to address a shared challenge or achieve a specific goal. Addressing Transnational Problems: In an increasingly interconnected world, challenges like climate change, terrorism, or economic crises often require international cooperation and coordinated action. States may cede some sovereignty to participate in supranational organizations to address these issues effectively." Perhaps rather than just issues dealing with war or the economy perhaps it will be a polycrisis of several issues at the same time. Which is the way the world seems to be heading at present.
