Wednesday, June 23 Then sudden destruction is to be instantly on them.​—1 Thess. 5:3.

Wednesday, June 23

Then sudden destruction is to be instantly on them.—1 Thess. 5:3.

 

The proclamation of “peace and security” precedes “Jehovah’s day.” (1 Thess. 5:1-6) At 1 Thessalonians 5:2, “Jehovah’s day” refers to “the great tribulation.” (Rev. 7:14) How will we know when that tribulation is about to begin? The Bible tells us about a most unusual proclamation. It will serve as a signal announcing the great tribulation. That will be the foretold proclamation of “peace and security.” Will religious leaders participate? Possibly. Nevertheless, the proclamation will be just another demon-inspired lie. But this lie will be especially dangerous because it will give people a false sense of security just before the greatest tribulation in human history begins. Yes, “sudden destruction is to be instantly on them, just like birth pains on a pregnant woman.” What about Jehovah’s loyal servants? They may be surprised by the sudden start of Jehovah’s day, but they will not be caught off guard. w19.09 9 ¶7-8

Sudden destruction is what we long for. We are all fed up with this system of things. Then we get to say”Finally!!”

I would love to know how sudden is sudden....

This is interesting. This goes to the idea that people in general WILL believe what is being "proclaimed". They are only going to do that if it actually looks as though something new, different and actual has been achieved. There is WAY TOO much dis-belief (even in the news, leaders, etc) for ones to take just some paper "proclamation" as legit and giving a "sense of security" unless it really feels that way. The demons must be really cooking up something big. 

 

We live in interesting times.
