The board of peace may be dental procedure to give the united nations more teeth. "The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal Trump administration thinking, did not say the Board of Peace is intended to replace the United Nations but suggested that it could perhaps galvanize the world body into action." [Associated Press] While formally backed by the UN Security Council for the Gaza context, the board is structured as a separate international body that may act as a, or force, a "parallel authority" to the United Nations, effectively accelerating, bypassing, or forcing reforms through a transactional, well-funded model. [ai google] While some see this as a needed, or the, reform to accelerate peace, others argue it undermines the sovereignty, or the legitimacy of the established international order. Interestingly the act of God is for all nations to give over their sovereignty, the opposite of the board of peace which may cause as God's one thought to give power to the United Nations

Look in the index under Great Tribulation there is an excellent chronological timeline. In that timeline during the Great Tribulation after Babylon the Great is destroyed it states: preaching “good news of the Kingdom” (Mt 24:14) a hailstorm for God’s enemies (Re 16:21] w25.08 31; w20.05 15; w19.10 16; rr 66, 198; w15 7/15 16; w08 7/15 7; re 234 In other words the preaching we do will be good news to those who accept it and a judgement to those who do not. So it depends on their response to the good news we preach at that time. It will become more hard-hitting as the tribulation continues forcing everyone to either accept the Kingdom [good news] or not [adverse judgement]. [Annual Meeting]

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.

Under "Great Tribulation" in the index note how many events occur. Some of which are at the same time: This is before our current change in the possible timing of peace and security.

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.
