Peace and Security, Great Tribulation, Armageddon

There is another way of looking at this.

 

Perhaps the UN actually does stop the fighting, and it isn't an empty 'claim'. Perhaps the UN does unite the world leaders to clean up the environment and it does solve some of the world's problems. Perhaps the UN gives everyone in the world, including the religious leaders, a solid reason to believe it can provide P&S for the world. It doesn't have to be an empty 'claim' to fulfill bible prophecy. However, we know the UN cannot sustain any P&S it provides because only Jehovah can do that.

 

Now imagine the religious leaders of the world fully supporting the UN instead of God's Kingdom, like an adulterous wife moving in with her boyfriend, her adultery will be complete.

 

Now imagine the world religious leaders telling the UN how to do its job. The UN could turn on BTG simply because she isn't needed anymore and is interfering with its goal to maintain P&S. It doesn't take a new religious war to get the beast to turn on the harlot, it may simply be tired of being told what to do by a drunken mistress.

Why does any man leave his mistress?  Because a new, shiny, younger model comes along. 
I wonder if a charismatic younger leader or group of leaders will catch the eye of the UN…🤔

Millenial Mayhem 😂

I wonder if a port strike would be counterproductive…would that not push management towards more automation? 
 

Might be cheaper to use technology and robots rather than pay human beings higher wages.

 

Look at the fast food places and grocery stores these days. Many of the human cashiers have been replaced by self-serve kiosks

Yes!   I remember the uproar when the automotive industry started using robots to weld frames.  How dare they replace the skilled human union welders?   Now ~ it's no big deal.

 

And any reasonably smart business manager will look around and take note of what the competition is doing.  Other major ports are way ahead of the US when it comes to efficiency and automation.   Amsterdam comes to mind.  And why are they able to advance so fast?   No unions.    The slave has named trade unions as a disruptive factor, part of the clay mixed with iron.

 

What I read tonight is the concern about the merchandise getting here in time for the holidays.   That's what their concern is ~ the Xmas shopping season!!!!

No audio with song

Do you mean you can't hear the song? Or you need the lyrics?

Spoiler

I love this song so much. It made me cry thinking of someone who is slowly dying but refuses JW literature.

Imaginez si nous savions qu’il ne nous reste que 6 jours avant le début de la grande tribulation.

I can only make out the words 'imagine and 6, oh alright debut, great tribulation. It feels like one is looking at a bronze mirror ☺️ One only sees a hazy image.

It would be good if occasionally, sis if you can put the English version right after the French translation. It would be so wonderful to understand a bit of French (such a  beautiful language, Sister you're really so blessed).

 

I hope it is not too much trouble. Maybe once will suffice. My memory, I can't remember where I put it (a borrowed quote)

The Russian government wants to earmark 32.5% of its spending for defense in 2025, a record amount and up from a reported 28.3% this year, as Moscow seeks to prevail in the war in Ukraine.https://edition.cnn.com/2024/09/30/europe/russia-defense-spending-proposal-ukraine-war-intl-hnk/index.html

 

The amount of money that goes to war (everywhere) is just beyond belief.

Netanyahu addressing the Iranian people:

 

it’s a very interesting speech

talks about cooperation between both countries to promote world peace and prosperity 

blames the “theocratic” regime

incites Iranians to do something about it

finally he says that it won’t last for long

 

Is Iran regime near its end?

Looks like the missiles are making it through.  If so.....that's really bad.  We may be looking at the start of WW3...

Wouldn't this be the end of the human race?

 

Or would this war between Israel and Iran lead to the proclamation of peace and security, so long awaited by us Christians?
