Political Violence

What does the Bible say?

https://www.jw.org/en/library/series/more-topics/political-violence-bible-say/

 

• The United States has been shaken by the attempted assassination of former president Donald Trump on July 13, 2024.

 Why is there so much political violence? Will it ever end? What does the Bible say?

Well, jw.org is still online. And I just got an email from a brother in my congregation. So it can't be all that bad.

Other things were affected like public transportation and 911 services in certain area. We all use those services for work or help. Flights globally were halted or delayed. Regional, international, and special convention travel for GB, helpers, volunteers, or delegates, so hopefully they got to their destinations on time. It had the potential to affect more than we think.

Oh wait, maybe I detect sarcasm. If so, my apologies. ☺️

There is another topic on this subject in the Computers and Tablets forum.

Well, it affected mostly Microsoft cloud services and servers. It would be a lot worse if it would affect linux too for example.

Thanks. This is another case of everything ending up in this topic. While it is true that every news item is related to PS, GT & A because we are in the Last Days, it does become confusing when everything ends up here.

These 2 would be world leaders, King of the south and north along with its allies, has been much debated and no agreement in sight.

 

Maybe we've reached the end of the World domination by man.  Jehovah now can easily take these 2 kings with its allies out.  We know that both will be destroyed not by hands but, by Jehovah.  There is much debate, confusion, uncertainties going on and no decision has been made.

 

People are crying out for Trump as being god/messiah.  He did dodge a bullet so, they believe its a miracle.  He must be the foretold one.

 

Time will tell as we barrel along the corridor of prophecies.  I see a light at the end of this tunnel.

Very encouraging opening to a study Watchtower this week

 

WE ARE living in exciting times! Each day, Bible prophecy is being fulfilled before our eyes. For example, we see “the king of the north” and “the king of the south” engaged in a struggle for world dominance. (Dan. 11:40, ftn.) We see the good news of God’s Kingdom being preached on an unprecedented scale, with millions responding favorably. (Isa. 60:22; Matt. 24:14) And we are receiving an abundance of spiritual food “at the proper time.”—Matt. 24:45-47.

 

We see news headlines about KOTN and struggle dominance almost daily... 

A war of words over Ukraine took centre-stage in the past week, as the European Union sought to bolster its defence readiness, NATO celebrated its 75th birthday and Russia issued threats and promises.https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/7/18/russia-ukraine-war-advances-at-high-cost

Trump speaks with Ukraine’s Zelensky, pledges to ‘end the war

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Friday said that Iran’s breakout time – the amount of time needed to produce enough weapons grade material for a nuclear weapon – “is now probably one or two weeks” as Tehran has continued to develop its nuclear program.

The assessment marks the shortest breakout time that US officials have ever referenced and comes as Iran has taken steps in recent months to boost its production of fissile material.

“Where we are now is not in a good place,” the top US diplomat said at the Aspen Security Forum Friday.https://edition.cnn.com/2024/07/19/politics/blinken-nuclear-weapon-breakout-time/index.html
