I see your point. :)

But if UN doesnt do anything against Russia NOW it will lose all credibility... it may colapse (?) FAil (?), like the nations league failed back in 1939.

But we know from Bible that it wont happen, so something weird must come up from that UNGA meeting tomorrow...

UN must prove the World that is effective!

Bible says that the governs will give UN power to accomplish Jehovah´s will.

Will it happen tomorrow? NOT BTG destruction! no, not yet. But gain more power...

Im so curious!

UNGA session on Ukraine adjourned till Wednesday

On the news here, analysts are trying to reconcile Putin's psychology in bringing in nuclear into the mix. He actually said religion and nationalism fuelling his thinking.

 

They are likening Putin to how Hitler had his own generals not able to give objective advice, and how do you stop a megalomaniac? I just thought it was interesting religion is being shown to be part of this aggression.

The pope was also supporting Hitler....

Russian President Vladimir Putin justified his invasion of Ukraine in part as a defense of the Moscow-oriented Orthodox church.

In his Feb. 21 speech seeking to justify the imminent invasion of Ukraine with a distorted historical narrative, Putin claimed without proof that Kyiv was preparing for the “destruction” of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate.

 

Here´s an oficial Russian transcript of that Putin speech  https://russiaun.ru/en/news/22022p

 

The part referring to religion states: "Kiev continues to prepare the destruction of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate. This is not an emotional judgement; proof of this can be found in concrete decisions and documents. The Ukrainian authorities have cynically turned the tragedy of the schism into an instrument of state policy. The current authorities do not react to the Ukrainian people’s appeals to abolish the laws that are infringing on believers’ rights. Moreover, new draft laws directed against the clergy and millions of parishioners of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate have been registered in the Verkhovna Rada"

I think we are living through somewhere between verse 43 and 44+45 right now.. (of Dan Chap. 11)

 

And he will rule over the hidden treasures of gold and silver and over all the desirable things of Egypt. And the Libʹy·ans and the E·thi·oʹpi·ans will be at his steps. 44 “But reports out of the east and out of the north will disturb him, and he will go out in a great rage to annihilate and to devote many to destruction.  45 And he will plant his royal tents between the grand sea and the holy mountain of Decoration; and he will come all the way to his end, and there will be no helper for him.

 

 

Although our publication explains that the report is hailstone message, that might change.

I don't know what this report is right now (if Putin has heard it already or if it's something that he will hear later)

 

Maybe he's hearing it right now. USA and his allies are supporting Ukraine in every way possible.

If religion is part of it, then maybe USA might do something to do with the destruction of Russia's religion.

It is becoming easier to see how when the king of the north meets his end, “there will be no helper for him.”—Dan. 11:45.

And he will plant his royal tents between the grand sea and the holy mountain of Decoration - When he reaches this point we will know for sure. Even before Armagedom.

I was thinking the same actualy... but only time will tell...

We can read similar thing regarding the KOTS in Daniel 8:25 - "...and during a time of security he will bring many to ruin" Seems the same happening.

Can it be the destruction of BTG?

Because right after: KOTN attacks God´s people (he will plant his royal tents between the grand sea and the holy mountain of Decoration) and same verse 25, KOTS does the same (He will even stand up against the Prince of princes) - and both are destroyed by angelic forces after the trial ( will come all the way to his end, and there will be no helper for him. &he will be broken without human hand)

If Russia loses this war, it will get so downgraded (economically and military) it might actually lose its KOTN status and falls into debt. It’s already spending so much money for the war.. Putin didn’t expect the war to last this long.

 

Either it loses its power and comes back years later to start pushing again or it will start an all-out attack against all nations that are against it NOW and throw all of us into something similar to WWIII.. in other words, GT.. the greatest tribulation  mankind has ever known.

This could "force" the war to stop. 

No money no war. (Maybe?) 

Russia's currency, the ruble, is free falling, having lost more than 40 per cent of its value since the invasion of Ukraine began.

According to Bloomberg, one US dollar is currently buying 117.75 rubles - a drop of 40.6 per cent in around five days.

Forex experts say international sanctions that prevent Russia's Central Bank from accessing offshore funds will mean the ruble will continue to fall, and potentially even a total collapse.

I personally don’t think he will. You would think Daniel 11 would have said something about that…

The Hebrew word cushi or kushi is an affectionate term generally used in the Bible to refer to a dark-skinned person of African descent.

Sometime after the start of the great tribulation, “the kings of the entire inhabited earth” will form a coalition of nations
Thus, I am  thinking "cooperation" even between KOTS and KOTN.

Nuke option does not fit in too much in that scenario. 

Who would get nuked? America? Europe? (radioactive cloud could circle the earth impacting Russia itself) 

Somehow I do not see nuke button to be pushed. (I hope)

Thanks, I see that.

 

This is purely a personal understanding of mine but these verse, esp. 44 seems to say that Russia will destory many... nations, not only JWs.  It seems KOTN is being singled out in the worldly scene.. as if it's acting alone. Of course, doesn't mean he's using nukes.

This was quoted on Twitter and Elon Musk posted a SpaceX logo. In other words his tech could be used to keep ISS in orbit.

(He has also ‘enabled Starlink’ in Ukraine and promised to provide receivers. To ensure some Internet is kept going.)

The conclusion of the matter, everything having been heard, is: Fear the true God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole obligation of man. Ec 12:13

That would be a tremendous power!

the atomic bombing in Japan were predicted on revelation prophecy 

Rev.13:13

also in Daniel 8:24

 

so if nucs were used now I’m sure it would be written on the Bible.

One Russian bank has already bankrupt.

I heard on the news that specialists said by the way things are going with such sanctions Russia can only last up to 8 months 😳

Oh my.. since the Bible doesn’t talk about KOTN being gone before Armageddon so 8 months is basically the time the world has?

And what of “the Libyans and the Ethiopians”? These neighbors of ancient Egypt might well foreshadow nations that are, geographically speaking, neighbors of modern “Egypt” (the king of the south). At times, they have been followers of—‘at the steps of’—the king of the north.

19 Has the king of the north ruled over ‘the hidden treasures of Egypt’? He has indeed had a powerful influence on the way that the king of the south has used his financial resources. Because of fear of his rival, the king of the south has devoted huge sums to maintaining a formidable army, navy, and air force. To this extent, the king of the north ‘ruled over,’ or controlled, the disposition of the wealth of the king of the south.
