Peace and Security, Great Tribulation, Armageddon

I assume this second explanation of those verses is also still valid?

 

 

It makes sense because verse 14 occurs soon after WW1 (with the League Of Nations), not WW2 (if taken chronologically):

 

Re 13:14 It misleads those who dwell on the earth, because of the signs that it was permitted to perform in the sight of the wild beast, while it tells those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the wild beast that had the sword-stroke and yet revived.

Well, this beast is spitting fire here and there and over there this year.

Matthew 24:29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

Well, I remember, and I say that loosely as I don't always remember right, that it referred to something more. So, looking at Mt 24:29, it gave a reference to Luke 21:25, I looked up the word 'heaven', the reference works led to descriptions of what the scripture means, I found it interesting. I did remember most of these. I think it was in the early or mid 90's we discussed this frequently.

Personally, I put the thought of a third World War out of my head because of one thing and one thing only - What kind of "deliverer" would Jehovah be if he allowed such a thing to happen?  If he has 9 million loyal servants on this earth and allowed one fourth of them to die in a third world war (and that is a conservative number when it comes to the types of weapons countries would be willing to use on one another this time around), is that really a god who saves and protects his people as a whole? The fact that Jehovah plans on actually showing us that he is the 'Deliverer of those who call upon his name' tells me with a certainty that there will be no third World War.

Many things are happening around the world before the Annual Meeting...

Another terrorist attack occurred in Jerusalem by Hamas.

Conflicts are arising in other nations, such as Indonesia, and now in Nepal, escalating into deadly protests.

Trump is also busy dealing with conflict in Chicago and with the Venezuelan president, while at the same time keeping himself occupied with efforts to pursue peace with other nations.

 

I think, we are one step closer in the declaration of P&S...

 

As what happened in 66 C.E. before the destruction in 70 C.E., it's a series of events.... Let's Keep on the Watch..

 

I really do not like the world we are living in right now... it's just one bad news after another, and we are all groaning!

 

The Kingdom is in place.

We pray: “Let it come, Let it come!”

 

Please 🙏

And now Israel have launched a strike in Qatar. 
 

Makes you wonder what we’ll be waking up to next…

 

In the mean time we carry on with our very timely campaign.  If anyone has any good experiences I’d love to hear them.

 

Perhaps someone could start a thread…?

 

And yes I agree - longing for the King Christ Jesus to bring the Sovereign Lord Jehovah God Almighty’s justice to the earth.  For His peoples sake, and all who are suffering that have a heart to know Jehovah as well as our loyal brothers and sisters who are incarcerated for their faith and are a sterling example to us all 🙏💕
