I don't remember a prophecy about "the guy". Trump fever seems to have taken over the US.

It is not about the guy. It is how his attitude, behavior and influence drive the situation into a conclusion.

No. Jehovah does that ... all on his own.

There was a movie from 1983 called "The Day After".

 

The Day After, Testament, and Threads are probably the 3 best  post-nuclear war "what if" movies ever made.

Is that the NZ movie? Or something else?

Oh no that was Last Man on Earth with Bruno Lawrence  ... turns out he wasn't the last man, so a bit misleading.   😄 🤣 😂 😄 🤣 watched it decades ago.

 

Actually the title was The Quiet Earth. Similar thread of thought.

At the risk of contributing to OT, my favorite was "On The Beach", not as good as the book but it well portrayed the dismal reality of nuclear war. We had just gotten married at the time and it darkened my day even though we knew that was not our future. In those days the cold war was very real. We didn't have go bags, we had bomb shelters.

Sounds like my sister's response when I asked her about paying back the money she owes me.

Jehovah normally used people according to their tendencies and traits like Judah, Benjamin and so on....

That takes me back. I remember Fred Astaire in a racing car in Australia and gas was only used for sport. Terrible advertisement for Coca Cola.

Thank you for the archive and its link, Brother Percy. I didn't know this movie.

Yes and this time the prophecy identifies the UN as the entity he will use, but unlike now, Satan won't be in control. It's very exciting, we shall see Jehovah’s hand in behalf of his name, and his people.

'Fail Safe' with Henry Fonda and Walter Matthau is another.

If you are looking for an 'old, old' movie, append your search with archive.org and you might find it there.

Great site for old bibles and related texts as well.

Here is C D Ginsberg's Massorah quoted in the NWT mentioning the 134 cases the Masoretes altered the Tetragrammaton to Adonai: https://archive.org/details/Ginsburg_The-Massorah-Compiled-from-Manuscripts_1880-1905/page/n2018/mode/1up?view=theater&q=Tetragrammaton (Paragraph 115).

The day after - I remember that film, very shocked me in my childhood. 

I think it was the only one US film shown on Soviet TV during a Cold War.

 

Threads - realistic, On the beach (1957, 2000) - too polished

But most shocking for me is Dead Man's Letters (Tarkovskiy-like) that has taken many international prizes

There is on youtube with english subs
