Peace and Security, Great Tribulation, Armageddon

[ChrisC]

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 🙏💕

This report makes me feel that we are very near .... I always thought this verse whenever there is a mass protests ...

 

Luke 21:25, 26

Also, there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars, and on the earth anguish of nations not knowing the way out because of the roaring of the sea and its agitation.  People will become faint out of fear and expectation of the things coming upon the inhabited earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

 

We dont know if this will be a literal, but what mentioned here, for me, was symbolical

 

sun, moon, star, was used to represent Flags

Sea is the people

powers of the heavens are the existing governments...

 

Let's wait for Jehovah to reveal all the details about this prophecy...

[Dages]

Quite incredible that the world is so enraged in attacks and terror as we are peacefully sharing in this campaign for the end of war...

Food at the proper time for the whole world

Satan is actively working in his system because he knows he has very, very, very short period of time .. while Jehovah is actively looking for precious things of nations ..

You know what is interesting? Satan does not know when the end will come. Therefore, with each passing year he gets a little more paranoid or desperate. This is another reason why Jehovah did not reveal when the end will be.  No hints or clues to the exact date. No possibility of calculation (we can guess. Our guess might be correct, but a guess us not knowing.) 

 

Satan has no right to know when the end will be. 

 

I never thought about it like that before you made this comment. Very nice. Thank you.

Superlative phrases:

 

 

"Supreme wrath"
"Ultimate fury"
"Unfathomable rage"
"Seething anger"
"Absolute rage"

 

Or just angrier since 1914 would you say?

Tonight Poland has been attacked by more then 10 Russian "Shaheds". Combat aviation has been lifted into the air. Airports has been closed. Formally this is attack on NATO fall under Article 9. But I think not with the current USA president.

 There will be "hawks" that immediately scream Article 5, and there will be cooler heads who say "Hold up".

 

Putin is either extremely reckless or he wants to humiliate the West because he knows the West is extremely unlikely to retaliate militarily in view of the nuclear risk. Putin may expect NATO to crash because they cannot agree on what to do.

 

The West will likely decide it wasn't intentional and give Russia a strongly worded rebuke. No, a very strongly worded rebuke (sarcasm).  But, if it happens again, then what?

These attacks and terror in the world will definitely affect the economy. and we are not exempted. Im into recruitment and jobs are getting slower
