"They ultimately agreed to a package bill that included the foreign aid as well as legislation to confiscate Russian assets held by Western banks; new sanctions on Russia, Iran and China; and a provision that will force the Chinese company ByteDance to sell the popular social media service TikTok."

Do these people think putting "sanctions" on Russia affects them like they would like to? The last sanction they put on Russia ended up making Russia largest economy in Europe. Back when the war was very intense. They don't care.

…. & Security 

 

3 Read 1 Thessalonians 5:1-3. Paul mentions “Jehovah’s day.” As used in this context, this refers to the time period that begins with the attack on “Babylon the Great,” the world empire of false religion, and ends with Armageddon. (Rev. 16:14, 16; 17:5) Just before that “day” begins, the nations will be proclaiming “Peace and security!” (Some translations say: “Peace and safety.”) World leaders sometimes use similar expressions when they talk about stabilizing relationships between nations. However, the announcement of “peace and security” that the Bible describes will be different. Why? When this happens, people may think that world leaders have succeeded in making the world a safer, more secure place. But in reality, “sudden destruction” will follow as the “great tribulation” unfolds.—Matt. 24:21.

How many Bible prophecies remain to be fulfilled before God destroys this present system? Very few! One of the last is at 1 Thessalonians 5:3, which states: “While they are talking of peace and security, all at once calamity is upon them.” (The New English Bible) This shows that the end of this system will begin “while they are talking.” Unforeseen by the world, destruction will strike when least expected, when the attention of humans is on their hoped-for peace and security.

 “While they are talking of peace and security, all at once calamity is upon them.” (The New English Bible)  destruction will strike when least expected, when the attention of humans is on their hoped-for peace and security.

 

 

That's all it needs to be to fulfill 1 Thessalonians   .     .      nothing more than their hope or belief.   It should be the top headline throughout the world.

US secretly sent long-range missiles to Ukraine after months of resistance

"Biden secretly approved the transfer of the long-range ATACMS missiles in February for use inside Ukrainian territory. The ATACMS missiles were then quietly included in the $300 million aid package announced on March 12 and ultimately delivered to Ukraine earlier this month"

They  actually talking about it now. But we're waiting for that 1 particular talking. No wonder why bro herd said that 'any day now'.. It could be literal. Im praying to Jehovah now to be more urgent because Im still planning for years ahead. 

Lives of people are at stakes . Or least, its important to warn  them about the impending destruction.

Jehovah will step in at the moment that he decided, that he says that it has been enough. That is a set date.

What Is the Great Tribulation?

It looks like the 7th October changed the whole scenario of this world. 

From that date onwards escalations develop everyday. 

 

Things came to a head when Israel struck the consulate in Damascus and killed seven members of the country’s revolutionary guard. The Iranians responded on April 13 with an unprecedented – what many here call ‘historic’ – attack on Israel. They said the response was proportionate because no injuries were reported. Iranians said this was to create a new reality in the Middle East, and that this kind of “tit for tat” behaviour by Israel would no longer be tolerated.

Israel, of course, said they would respond and whether that is what we are seeing unfold today is that response is too early to say. It highlights just how fragile and tense the situation is.https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2024/4/19/live-israel-launches-missile-attack-in-response-to-iran-assault

well, I was born on October 7th... I feel like that line was something personal

The answer is given in chronological order.  It seems to me "Gathering of Kingdom rulers" would come before "Judgements of earth's inhabitants".  But it says the opposite.

 

According to the answer, Jesus will judge between sheep and goats before the remaining anointed are taken to heaven to join the fight.

 

That scenario makes it sound like they will be taken at the last possible moment?    Which would mean they would still be here with the other sheep right down to the last.  Interesting!

They know it doesn't work but people in general think it works and don't know about hyperinflation. So that's all they need 😁😁

Yep, when someone said to me a few years ago "You know the value of your house hasn't increased, the value of money has decreased - you need more money now to buy the same things" it was like a light bulb going on!

 

House prices rising, all inflation - is a sign of a global economy in crisis 😳

When the brother in the March JW Broadcast mentioned 'poly crisis', I just had to look it up. WEForum.org (World Economic Forum) was the first site that popped up. #1 of their 2 year list of disasters was cost of living:

as a young adult, i see that until the new world comes i'll have enough problems to deal with. naturally, i would be afraid, but nah, Jehovah is on my side, and maybe that will make for some good stories! maybe when i meet my wife and have my hundred kids in paradise i'll talk about how i survived all this events in an epic way, lol

this news article along with some research on the term "The summit of the future" 

 

The UN has plans to revamp by the year 2025/2026 according to article #109 of the UN Charter ... this will change the current laws in place 

Also, at this years summit in September they have had 4 years to obtain signatures from many countries to trump their countries' laws or supercede them and act separately giving this part of the UN more power than individual countries.  This action is in connection with the signing of the declaration at the UN summit on 2020 for the UN's 75th anniversary. @Percy they know that they have and will fail to reach their 2030 SDG goals so this is what they have come up with so far....  

 it is definitely getting interesting
