The feet of clay prophecy is feeling very pertinent today.

This weeks watchtower is so timely....

 

From paragraph 4:

Yet, as Satan’s system nears its end, we can expect the issue of neutrality to become more prominent. The world is filled with people who are “not open to any agreement” and “headstrong,” so it will only become more divided and  polarised

 

and paragraph 13

Taking undue pride in our place of origin is at the heart of nationalism and could be the first step on a path to compromise.

 

There is great unrest in the UK today. Looking on social media this morning, people are very angry about the decision. Lots of name calling and arguments. There's a strong sense of patriotism being spouted by the camp who wanted to leave the EU. The watchtower is a great reminder for us not to not get swept up in it.....but also very exciting to see how overnight things can change and Bible prophecy being fulfilled. 

 

Our congregation really belted out 'hail Jehovahs firstborn' last night, felt very emotive.

Just read in the Korean TImes, that their money "Won" went down a lot due to England separating itself from the EU Union.  So then the people S.K., said that if N.K. tries anything against them they are all willing to fight to the last (except we know it does not include our brothers over there).  So this to me is a unique report, prophecy in motion and I can only pray that the end comes next year (if that is Jehovah's will).

I've been following this Brexit issue for a while and there seemed to be a pretty strong consensus that the Remain side would win right up to the night of the vote.

 

 But as a Witness we all recognize the world was prophesied to become increasingly ungovernable. So for us I don't think it's as big a surprise as it is to the rest of the world. Clearly,  government, media, and financial leaders underestimated how "the people" really felt. 

 

I do admit, however, that I will be afraid to look at my 401K figures for a bit. 

Perhaps, for a very long time.

My 401k is all in a fixed income fund.  It doesn't make much but it never loses any.  But whatever, as long as I do my part, Jehovah will provide my needs.

The majority of mine is too but some of it's effected by the global economy. I worked for the government and it was a painless way to save. I expect I'll lose it all eventually but it does help in emergencies.

A lot of my work colleagues couldn't believe it. One guy was scared stiff. How is it going to go on? I said, I dunno. Somehow, some way, it will go on. It always has, hasn't it? Europe worked before the EU, and I'm sure we will still have food on our table in two year's time when #Brexit has actually been pushed through.

 

I also said a lot can happen till then.

 

Speaking of a lot happening, Ireland is now actually talking about a reunion. But it really has been a day of little tremors.
