wonder how this could play out? Maybe adding these nations has something to do with photo we have different nations working together during the GT?

[Dhanyel]

However, it is important to remember what 1 Thessalonians 5:20 says: "Do not treat prophecies with contempt." That being said, we must indeed expect the fulfillment of "peace and security," even though it may not make sense now how it will happen. But it will happen; this is an important sign that Jehovah's day is near. Even if it is a single event or several, we cannot overlook this event.

[Ahuvah]

That's it. It hasn't happened as some think, but it clearly will.

If I saw it on the TV screen I would go and advance myself to new order place - if you go you collect tokens or you can trade a chocolate cream pie w/ sprinkles and a donut for it .

If I saw it in the TV screen as I'm eating in a restaurant, I'd order a fine bottle

Now THAT is what I am I looking for. I think the UN will go through some type of reformation that will give it a new global authority that people will believe will bring P&S.

You are not alone.  There are so many around here too that it feels like a roller coaster ride.

 

The latest thing is kidney stones!  It's crazy!  In just about a month's time, I know 5 people in my small circle suffering from it.  2 in the congregation and 3 at work.  That's too much to be a coincidence.  👀

 

The amount of brothers & sisters we've lost in the past couple years.  The amount that have been in the hospital.  Or needing surgery (me & wife included).  It's so much!

 

The human race is deteriorating fast since COVID....

Is that a personal question or something that came from one of your social media discussions?

“The institutions we have, have no teeth. And sometimes, even when they have teeth, like in the case of the Security Council, they have not much appetite to bite,” the Secretary-General said.

It was used as an illustration here.

 

*** re chap. 35 p. 258 par. 21 Executing Babylon the Great ***
Yes, the nations will use the scarlet-colored wild beast, the United Nations, in destroying Babylon the Great. They do not act on their own initiative, for Jehovah puts it into their hearts “even to carry out their one thought by giving their kingdom to the wild beast.” When the time comes, the nations will evidently see the need to strengthen the United Nations. They will give it teeth, as it were, lending it whatever authority and power they possess so that it can turn upon false religion and fight successfully against her “until the words of God will have been accomplished.” Thus, the ancient harlot will come to her complete end. And good riddance to her!

This is when the UN becomes the "8th king". It will be given the power and authority to destroy false religion. That power comes from the nations temporarily giving it that authority.

I was coming in the truth in 1974/75.   My mother and I went to JC Penny and bought clothes for the meetings and ministry.  We didn't have a lot of money and we felt like we had splurged a bit.   But, we smiled at each other and I said "We will probably never have to pay the bill".   49 years ago
