see the end of Daniel chapter 11 that the king of the North is done in - not by human hand

Actually Daniel 11:45 says that KOTN will come to its end with no helper.

 

It’s daniel 8:25 that mention that KOTS will be destroyed not by human hand 

 

Lets see how the prophecies unfold

Also, we must not forget that Revelation basically focus on KOTS and Daniel 11th chapter focus of KOTN.

 

 

Right. Like Dusty said, Daniel describes the king of the north's destruction by Jesus. This will only be at Armageddon.

In Rev it mentions both The King of the South/ False Prophet and the wild beast. The wild beast is the entire Satanic political system. It has always fascinated me that the False Prophet is specifically mentioned separately. It'll be interesting to see how that plays out.

 

Anyway, he clearly doesn't become part of some one world government with only digital currency than is also controlled by just one group. He maintains his separate identity.

I was distinguishing only between king of north and south.

I think it’s only a matter of time before China invades Taiwan. This repeated aggressive stance by the USA—seizing heads of state or bombing "hostile countries" could very well encourage China. And let’s not forget how dependent Western countries are on China.

And let us not forget, China depends on Western countries too.

If that happens, we're doomed in the Philippines. JEHOVAH will protect His people but not exempted from hardship.

The fact that Russia has done away with any apps that keep people in communication with each other there and abroad tells me that something will probably "give" soon.  I have a feeling that most of our brothers and sisters there were using What's App and Telegraph apps for meetings and to encourage one another.  They still haven't broken even one of us there, they have been failing for close to 9 years now to "stop us" and our "extremism".  All they are doing is filling their prisons with people who will preach their message to prisoners and guards and anyone else they can.  Not even the thought of getting out of prison if you join the military works on our brothers and sisters there.  If Putin had hair, he would of pulled it all out by now dealing with such a stubborn group of people that he has found out that he can't control.

 For the past 1 and half year Putin or the KOTN are suffering a blow. Their allies (Syria, Venezuela, Iran and now Cuba) have buckled mainly against the KOFS. If Putin wants to set back and thinks he going to win the war against God's people can keep up dreaming.

I think so as well.  Shutting off the Internet for everyone is nuts.  Desperation.

Ukraine seems to have the advantage in the war.

Russia has lost well over a million troops.  They increased the age for conscription, they take from the prisons.

 

Something is going to give.

It's so sad and heart wreching to me what is happening to our dear brothers and sisters in Russia.

I always read the news articles about them on our site, but recently, it really hit home when I saw a couple from Russia visited our KH.

 

They were so genuine about the truth, I could tell by their spiritual hunger even though there was a language barrier.

They haven't been able to use any of the publications on our literature counter. The brother was literally SMELLING our meeting invitation and jw.org cards. 

 

I am making it a goal to pray more frequently and personally for them.

What have U.S. allies and China said about sending ships to the Strait of Hormuz to support the United States?

 

China, NATO, South Korea, and Japan basically respond, This is not our war. Nobody is ready to put their people in harm's way in the Strait of Hormuz."

 

Donald Trump has said the United States does not need Nato after being rebuffed by a number of the organisation’s member countries over his appeal for a multi-national naval force to reopen the key strait of Hormuz trade route closed by Iran.

Speaking to reporters from the Oval Office, the US president described the rejection of his calls as a “very foolish mistake”, adding without evidence: “Everyone agrees with us, but they don’t want to help. And we, you know, we as the United States have to remember that because we think it’s pretty shocking.”

I wonder why the missiles fired from Iran at Turkey hasn't triggered their Article 5 doctrine, "An attack against one is an attack against all" ?

 

I think the UK has shot down 4 missiles fired at Turkey, a NATO member.

I understand your fears. I remember a Watchtower that said we should all expect hardships and deprivation to come. There may be times when we have to rely on Jehovah for our very next meal. We're only doomed if we leave Jehovah.
