This could get things going…

This is how I see it also: 

None of this will go unnoticed by our enemies.  those who are living in the center of the earth.’” (Ezek. 38:10-12) Spiritually speaking, God’s people will stand out as unique, “in the center of the earth,” as it were. This will be too much for the nations. Yes, they will be eager to attack Jehovah’s anointed ones as well as their associates. W15.

 

 

“The center of the world’s attention” Ezek. 38:12 ISV Translation]

People will realize Jehovah’s Witnesses are true prophets which will give added weight like hailstones to their message after Babylon the Great has fallen, it will be unusually great.

It is possible we will be mute just as Ezekiel was during the fall of Jerusalem then resumed after. Therefore we may become mute as to preaching during the attack on BTG then resume preaching after during the respite. In this way we will become "the center of the world's attention" which explains why they come to attack us at the end but their attention during the first phase is primarily on Babylon the Great which would be why they are attacked.

This is why I think the attack will be along the lines of making it illegal for religions to meet together or own property. Without brick and mortar churches and temples and religious schools, most all religions will cease. 

 

Of course, this would affect us. No more Bethel, no more print facilities, no more Kingdom Halls. However, unlike Christendom, we don't need any physical locations like that. The pandemic showed us we can meet om Zoom and continue to function as normal. We can still have our app, still be fed by the Slave, still hold meetings and still preach (even if that preaching is completely informal or under ban.)

 

After the destruction of false religion and the pause that follows, the nations will see we are still preaching and teaching and worshipping. This will enrage the nations to turn on us specifically. 

Perhaps this is the reason our publications come out way in advance. It didn't used to be so far ahead. We have food for meetings 6 months ahead.

However, life never returned to 'normal' in Jerusalem. Within the city rival factions quarreled and fought, and those caught attempting to leave the city were slain as traitors.

That "brief respite" lasted 3 1/2 years. If we compare that to phase 2 of the great tribulation you are proving my point. We don't know how long that respite will last. 

 

I wouldn't call the entire 3 1/2 years of hell a 'respite'.  The respite would have been just long enough for faithful Christians to recognize the fulfillment of Jesus prophetic words and flee as soon as the Roman troops retreated.  No delay, no hesitation.

 

Otherwise, they would be trapped.

Our voices will not stop preaching; we may use different methods of preaching, but stop? Never!
